Corporas,on Counsel Scott Will on
wednesday next make an appeal before
the board OF state land commissioners for
n readjustrnent OF streets and alleys on the
tide fats. in accordance with the recon-
raendafion OF the city council Mr. scott
appeals from the final order OF the local
board OF tide land appraisers, ana bases
his appeal on the grounds that there was
an error IN the plating OF the streets ny
the local board because they do not cor
respond with the upland streets or the
city. that thu plating causes injury ana
destruction OF the improvements on or
near the tide lands without any cores
ronding benefit 20 the public; that the
streets and alleys are not satisfactory TO
the city and should be readjusted, so as
IN eongerve the interests OF property own
ers and irnprovers, as well as the inter-
esfs OF the public and commerce and naVi-
cation.
MFR. Scott asks that the state board re-
eorefder the official acts OF the local board
and make the following changes In the
plat:
Strike out block is7. or the Yesler TRAN
gle.
Extend West street south from Yesler
avenue 10 Washington street.
Plat Railroad avenue between Union and
Depot streets as previously established oy
the city of Seattle. so as 10 correspond
with existing franchises and constructed
railroad tracks.
Arrange the streets between washing
ton and Depot streets so they may run due
west from Railroad avenue To deep water,
instead OF eouthwesterly. as Indicated on
the plat filed by the local board.
