Seattle April 21st 1892
To the City Council
On January 14th 1890 I
paid into the City Treasurer for Street
improvement Tax on Lot 11 Block 21
Heirs of S A Bells 2nd Add. Eight St.
$168.84 I paid said tax under protest
as we the property owners understood
we were assessed too much and I find
on making inquiry that others have
not paid so much as I did by $40.00 & $50.00
as I did. (to mention one instance I
find that Mr Spriggs who owns a corner
Lot in the next block only paid $120.00
Oweing to me being very Deaf I am unable
to give particular as I sould do, but the Tax
Rolls will show what I have said to be true.
I therefore petition your honorable body for a
rebate if said taxes paid in excess of others
I am your respectfully A Beaumont
