Gentlemen of the Council .City of Port Townsend Dear Sirs: Please consider my application for the vacating of that part of 5th street that comes between block 251 of Eisenbeis Addition, and state highway ,#9. I would like to construct a building for business purposes and as it is now I would have to nut the building back to far. As I have gone to a good deal of expense to clear the strip, and it is not likely it would be used for a street with the highway there. The thirty fe::t or more of highway right of tvay will take care of any future piping the city may put down. I hope you gentlemen will agree my application is a fair one and accept it. Thank you Joseph Cusack P.S. On the other side of this sheet the area in question is shown. drawn by 11r. Hayden Mr. Cusack's request was referred to the Committee on Streets & Sayers.
