Councilman Furth submits the following resolution
and moves its adoption:
"Resolved, by the Common Council of the City of Seattle
King County W. T., that the Mayor is hereby instructed
to respectfully represent to the Honorable, the Post
Master General, that owning to the increase of the
business of the Post Office of the City of Seattle, that
our mails are delayed in their distribution for many
hours; the present clerical force being entirely in-
sufficient to attend to the business, and the Post
Office itself far too small to even accomodate
the mails therefor, we respectfully ask that an
increase in the appropriation for these purposes
be made at the earliest possible moment as
the business is rapidly growing and our in-
-convenience is added to from week to week."
The motion for adoption being duly seconded, the
resolution is adopted by an unanimous vote of the
Council.
Ordered that the matter of Rollin Street Extension
be placed in the hands of the Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee with power to incur necessary
expenses in securing dedication of property, etc.
