City of Seattle Records

To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Seattle:

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that they are residents it is of great importance to the interests of this city and of the state that some final settlement and adjustment under the Constitution of the State should be made in relation to the harbors of the cities on Puget Sound; that the present unsettled condition is retarding and preventing the establishment of industries along the water front of the City of Seattle, and to that extent hampering and embarrassing the growth and development of the city.

Your petitioners would further respectfully represent that in their opinion House Bill. No. 378, introduced by Mr. Meany, would, if it should become a law, greatly facilitate the settlement of the harbor front question and relieve the cities on Puget Sound of their present embarrassment in respect to the establishment of industries along the water fronts of the respective cities.

We therefore earnestly petition your honorable body to give the weight of your indorsement to House Bill No. 378 as the most likely bill to become a law and the one which is best calculated to serve the interestes of the cities on Puget Sound and of the whole state.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Dear Sir:

The bearer Mr Eisenbach is desirous of taking from the City the garbage that is now a source of considerable annoyance, and converting it into Phosphates [TC?]. He has called upon us to assist him in finding a location for his works and also in securing proper authority from the City.

If after talking with him you think his plan for disposing of the garbage feasible will you kindly put him in the way of properly bringing the matter before the Health Department for recommendation to the City Council

Yours Respectfully J W Dodge Secty
