King County Washington Office of Julius Horton Assessor Seattle Nov 8th 1890 To the Hon Mayor & Common Council Reuben Spahr owns a tract of land 120x126 ft on Yesler Avenue near Kearney St describes as follows Beg 150 ft East of SE Cor of Kearney St and Yesler Ave thence E 126 ft thence S 120 ft thence W 126 ft thence N 120 ft to ft of Beg This land has been assessed at the rate of #1400.00 per lot amounting to $2800.00 in all. Property opposite and adjoining is assessed at the rate of $1100.00 per lot. There is an evident error in the assessment as the land $600.00 more than any other like amount in that vacinity Believing that the assessment is an error too high. I would recommend that it be reduced from $2800 to $2200. Frank Paul Deputy Assessor
