To the Council & House of Representatives of the Territory of Wisconsin

Your memorialists, citizens of Burlington and of Racine and Walworth counties, would respectfully represent, that a valuable water power on the Fox River (a meandered stream) might, and would, be improved to the great advantage of Racine and Walworth Counties, as well as to the country generally, provided a privilege could be obtained for enclosing a dam - We would further represent that saw power, may be had, either on Dec (32) thirty two or (33) thirty three and which would be capable of propelling machinery sufficient for extensive milling and manufacturing establishments. We would therefore pray your honourable body, to grant the legal privilege of constructing a dam to John R Reudling's hous or assigns, for the improvement of said water power.
