To His Honor the Mayor and Honorable Board Of Aldermen and House of Delgates of the City of Seattle GentlemenThe undersigned petitioners and tax payers, of the City of Seattle owning property adjacent to Harrison St and in said City, respectfully represent, that in response to a petition setting forth the needs of a sewer on said Harrison Street your Honorable body ordered a sewer constructed along said street from Oak to Temperance Streets, and connect with Temperance Street sewer. And, whereas it has been found to be impracticable to so construct said sewer on account of the lack of fall for drainage, and whereas if the line of said sewer were projected along said Harrison Street to Elliot Bay, sufficient fall could be had to properly drain said sewer, and whereas, there is urgent need of a sewer along said street, your petitioners pray that your Honorable body order a sewer constructed from the ally between Oak and Poplar Streets along Harrison Street to Elliot Bay and your petitioners will ever pray.
