City of Seattle Records

Seattle, Wash., Dec 11th, 1893 To the City Council of Seattle Gentlemen:The undersigned residents and householders in Broadway and DeForest St. north of Madison Street, are much in need of street lights, and of a policeman to watch their premises, and protect the same against mauraders and burglers. We feel that we are entitled to have the same conveniences and protection extended to us that other residents of the city enjoy, in the particulars mentioned, and we earnestly request that you will provide them forthwith.
