"Mayors Office City of Seattle May 10, 1884
"To the Common Council of the City of Seattle
"Gentlemen I return without my approval an Ordinance to
"prevent certain animals from running at large. This Ordinance
"prevents certain animals therein named from running at large in
"the streets, alleys or other public grounds within the City limits of Seattle.
"At present the City limits extend over an area of nearly 14 square miles,
"and a Considerable portion of this area is laid off into blocks, lots,
"streets, alleys and public grounds. While I fully believe, that within the
"inhabited portions of the City, proper restrictions should be adopted against
"animals running at large, I do not think the Council [strikethrough] cho [/strikethrough] could have
"intended to make it applicable to those parts of the City limits which
"are entirely unoccupied. I recommend that a new Ordinance be drawn
"modifying its provisions and confining the prohibited limits to the
"settled part of the City"
"H. G. Struve Mayor"

consideration said Ordinance is rejected upon the following vote
