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.

Deputy Assessor
