Seattle Washington September 3 1890

To the Hon
The Mayor & City Council of the City of
Seattle

Gentlemen

I would most respectfully ask that you forbid the location of what is
Termed a "merry go round" at the location
of Seventh and Spring street. It is objectionable
on account of the character of persons that
are drawn to it. as with as the noise and
tumult occasioned by running it. To permit
it to be operated at the point refered to would
connect what is now one of the most quiet
neighborhoods into a rendevous for
loafers and other bad characters. We therefore
respectfully ask that no permit be granted
for the purpose named

and your petitioners that ever pray
very respectfully
Amelia Alden
