Gentlemen: On inquiring about making an application for a permit to sell malter liquor to b consumed on the premises at our restaurant, which is situated at Washington and "earney Streets, we find that the present ordinance prohibits the sale of said liquor at this ad - dross, but is permissible across the street from our building.

We therefore request that the present otdi- nance be amended so that it includes block sixty-nine of L. B. Hastings 2nd Addition to Port Townsend. As we do not wish to cause the city any expense in this matter, we are enclosing check herewith for two dollars ($2.00) to cover expense for printing the above required amendment. We would appreciate your kind efforts and immediate attention in this matter as we wish to construct a new building and make some alterations and be open for business befox.i the summer is over. .
