The City Council requested that you draw a resolution(No. 1) setting a
date of hearing in the matter of the condemnation of a building at
1605 Marshall Ave., as more fully described in the attached letter of
Alfred H. Schroeder.
As it appears that this may be a contested case, Council members suggested
that the law be carefully followed.

City of Saint Paul
Dear Council Members:
ROBERT A. LOWELL
Supt. of Public Recreation
Attention is directed to the unsatisfactory and dangerous
condition of the brick veneer f ourplex building, approximate-
ly 46 by 72 feet, located at 1605 Marshall Avenue, described
as
All of vacated north and south alley adjacent,
all of East and West alley vacated,
west one -half of Lot 8, and all of Lot 7,
Block 8, College Park Addition.
This building is vacant, not provided with permanent founda-
tions, windows are broken out, temporary shores are in place
in the basement, the stucco job is incomplete. Work on remod-
eling into an eight apartment building has been at a standstill
f 6r many months.
The last known record owners are: Mathew N. Zell, 322 North
Mississippi River Boulevard, St. Paul 4 and John Edmund Burke,
Jackpot Motel, Las Vegas, Nevada. Mr. Howard Prodger, 1677
Fernwood Avenue, St. Paul 13,has filed a lien against the prop-
erty.
Danger Notices have been posted. We would like to have the
Council set a hearing date, in accordance with Section 1.07 -2 (00r
of the Saint Paul Legislative Code, as this section outlines j/�✓
procedure in the condemnation of dangerous structures.
Yours truly,

To the honorable Mayor and councilmen
of the City of St. Paul,
Court House, St. Paul 2, Minn.
Hon. Sirs:
In re Building at 1605 Marshall Ave.
I am taking the liberty of writing you with reference to
the condemnation proceedings pending against the above designated build-
ing. I am unable to appear before you and address you because I have
recently been subjected to surgery on my throat and I am unable to speak
well enough to appear, hence I respectfully request that you kindly post-
pone condemnation action on this building as I believe with an oppor-
tunity to discuss the matter with you I can convince you that such
action will not be necessary. Another reason for requesting postpone-
ment is that an action is pending in District Court by the City Attor-
ney on behalf of the City to compel vacation of the 'turnaround' which
was deeded to the City in exchange for vacation of the alley on the
east side of the property in question. Failure of the property owner
on the west side to remove his garage from this 'turnaround' has been
the cause of delay in the process of rehabilitating the apartment build-
ing in question and I am convinced that action by the City will result
in the removal of the garage so that the City's 'turnaround' can be
available for use as contemplated. The City's action will not be heard
before the Court until April 9th next.
Mr. Zell, the owner, bought this property through the
writer from St.. Maxk's Church and lis buying and paying for it has
lifted a considerable problem from the parish and, needless, to say,
from the shoulders of the writer. Therefore, I feel obligated to do
everything in my power} to give him an opportunity to solve his numerous
problems and to improve his property as contemplated..
