To the Hon. City Council
of the City of Seattle:

Your petitioner. Roy Armstrong respectfully
represents that on the 14th day of Sept 1892 your peti-
tioner paid into the City Treasury the sum of Five dollars
and obtained therefore a license as a peddler for the period of one
month from Sept 14- 1892 to Oct 14- 1892; that
said petitioner had a stock on hand at the time of taking out said li-
cense and continuosuly thereafter until after the passage of ordinance
No. [8372?] by which peddling was forbidden within the business portion of
said City; that the privilege of peddling in the City of Seattle out-
side of the limits fixed by said ordinance is of no value to said peti-
tioner, and he feels that by the passage of said ordinance the consider-
ation for said money so paid into the City Treasury has failed, and your
petitioner now offers to surrender to the City said license on return
of the money paid by him as aforesaid: that said ordinance took effect.
on the 27th day of September, 1892 and said petitioner was compelled
immediately to stop peddling under said license.

WHEREFORE said petitioner respecfully prays that the said sum
of five dollars be refunded to him on surrender of his license
which he is ready to surrender when said money is appropriated as here-
in prayed for. And your petitioner prays that justice may be done
him in the premises.
