St. Paul, Minn. 55102
Dear Commissioner,
I am writing this letter in regards to the grade of Ivy and
DeSoto Ave.
I live at 1322 DeSoto, and my Mother -in -law, Mrs. Mary Kinder-, at
'467 E. Ivy. We are both below road level. When I bought my lots from
Mrs. Kinder we we're both assured by the Public Works Department that
the streets would be lowered below our present lot levels. My Bank and ,
my Contractor also inqumred and were told that the streets would be
lowered. This grade was established in 1917, and was still in effect in
1956 when I built My Home. Mrs. Kinder has lived at her present address
for over 40 years. All hedges, trees and shrubs were putin lot level
to-be ready for the change, which we knew would eventually come. For
instance, the hedge on one side of my•home is over 30 years old.
We were all also told that DeSot would be lowered, for :North of `
Ivy the grade drops very sharply. In the word.,, of one of the men irk
your office," Unless we take off the top of DeSoto we will have another �
i
Ramsey " Hill" . `
We all know that the area Nof;th of Ivy and East; and, Westcsof DeSoto, will
be developed. It is one of the few remaining areas open }n §t. Paul.
So, we know that DeSoto will go through to Arlington Ave.
I would like to add that I have• lived`in this area all,of my life.
I, as well as my neighbors, have always known,that,DeSototand_lvy were
to be cut down. `
Yours t
1@or W Johnson

City Council of the City of St. Paul
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned, were very much disappointed with
the hearing on the order for grading De Soto and Ivy Streets
that was held in your chambers on Wednesday, September 7.
We were with the understanding that a vote of the
property owners would be taken and we had a list of names of
the people who were in favor of it.
Now we are writing to you so that you may know how we
feel. It is a shame for anyone in this city to be below
grade and to have a cesspool.
We certainly need a permanent water main to protect us
in case of fire and household needs. The dirt and dust the
cars leave behind is unhealthy. The street is a hazard to
autos on account of deep chuck holes. The drainage is such
that it floods some basements. We believe that the grade
proposed by the engineering staff is beneficial to all
property owners if the streets are improved.
As good neighbors, our sympathy is with those on Ivy
St. along with our desire for a much needed improvement.
