To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Seattle, Washington:

Your petitioners respectfully represent that they are citizens and tax-payers of the City of Seattle and are interested in its welfare; that the rich bottom lands of the country surrounding the said city are now and at several times during the last ten years have been inundated and overflowed by waters from the Duwamish, Black, Cedar and Sammamish rivers and Lake Washington and that on account of such overflow the owners of said bottom lands are prevented from raising vegetables and garden truck thereon and the citizens of Seattle are obliged to send to California for these articles, and for this reason large sums of money are sent out of our city which otherwise would be spent here; that the water supply of the City of Seattle is obtained from Lake Washington, and at the present time the water is impure for the reason largely that the slough water from Lake Sammamish and river must, in going through Lake Washington to the outlet at Black river, flow past the "take in" pipe of the city water works; that if the low land between Lakes Union and Washington called the "Portage" and the outlet of Lake Union were deepened and widened so as to allow the passage of a large amount of water from Lake Washington to Puget Sound by this channel, the inundation and overflow of the hereinfore mentioned bottom lands would not happen and the vegetable market of Seattle could and would be supplied by home production; that the pure waters of the Cedar river would flow into Lake Washington and pass by the "take in" pipe of the city water works and the water supply of the said city of Seattle would then be rendered pure because of this and because the slough water of Lake Sammamish would flow out of Lake Washington by way of the "portage" and Lake Union and not come near the said "take in" pipe; that the accomplishment of these two objects, viz: a pure water supply and a home production of vegetables and table supplies would be of incalculable advantage to your petitioners and to all the citizens of Seattle.

Wherefore, your petitioners pray that such steps may be taken by ordinance or otherwise as shall assist the property owners of said lands and the County of King in widening and deepening said outlet by way of Lake Union, and your petitioners will ever pray.
