Dear Commissioner Sprafka:
First Trust Company of Saint Paul is one of the
Executors of the Estate of Benjamin F. Griebenow, who died

B. F. Griebenow, Inc. B. F. Griebenow, Inc. , owns the property
at Smith and Ramsey presently occupied by the Auto Renu Company.
We, as Executors, have entered into an option for the

Honorable Robert F. Sprafka

St. Paul, Minnesota
Dear Commissioner Sprafka;
We are writing this letter to express our support of a proposal
of the Grand Avenue Businessmen' s Association to rename Ramsey Street
from the Pleasant, Grand and Ramsey intersection to the terminus of
Ramsey Street southerly of Summit Street.
We believe that this will. extend Grand Avenue to meet a main ar-
tery of the city, and enable ris, as businessmen to be on a street
which is recognized throughout the city.
When the City Council is considering the resolution proposed by
the Grand Avenue Businessmen, please use this letter as evidence of
our support of this effort.
Very truly yours,
