Seattle, November 30th.1890.

To the Board of Aldermen
of the City of Seattle

Gentlemen:-

We the undersigned citizens and taxpayers would
most respectfully call your attention to the present high
License paid by the Auctioneers of this city, viz: $400.00
per year, which is more than is exacted in any city on the
Pacific Coast. The present license is beyond the reach of
anyone doing a fair legitimate business. We would propose
that the License be reduced to $200.00 per year, payable
yearly by all Auctioneers who are citizens of the city.
We would also call your attention to the necessity of mak-
ing a distinction between the Auctioneer who is a citizen
and the transient man. We consider it would be a benefit
to the business men of the City of Seattle if no license
be issued to any man who has not such recommendation as to personal character as will command him to the confidence of
the business community.
