BLE SIRS:
CITY CLERK
A portion of the East -sand -West alley from Macalester street
was: substituted for the original North - and -South alley from
Lincoln avenue upon the sole petition of Macalester College,
and for the sole benefit of the College or its successor.
The lapse-of time since this was done has in no way modified
its effect upon us. It is precisely because the College brought
about this change thirty years ago that we are now faced with an
assessment based on an excessive frontage that did not Oxist when
we purchased the property, and that was accomplished without our
knowledge, although we were plainly affected parties.
The College is the only one that wanted the change. Thee
College, or its successor, is the only one that benefited by the
change. Therefore, in equity, the College, or its successort .
should bear the full assessment for both sides of that portion
of the alley that it was instrumental in establishing.
We request that asessment, as it affects us, be made in
accordance with these facts.
