Seattle, May 11th , 1893

Honorable Board of Public Works
City of Seattle

Gentlemen:-

We beg to call your attention to the very un-
safe condition of the Roadway at the Foot of Norman Street.

The Piling upon which this Road rests is also used by
the City to support the Water Mains, and in the present con-
dition, the Main is liable to fall in the Bay at any moment
thus cutting off the supply of water to a large number of
manufacturers.

We also represent that we are Taxpayers, and doing bus-
iness in the City of Seattle, and feel that we should be
provided with means of Egress and Ingress to, and from, our
property.

The Road referred to, is a Public Street, and while it
was constructed at private expense, we feel that the City
should now repair, and keep it in such order, that we can
reach our places of business in safety.

We trust your Honorable body will consider this matter
favorably, and repair the Road without unnecessary delay.

Very respectfully submitted,

Moran Brothers Co.,
