ments in connection with the construction of the Battle

drainage as related to certain tax-forfeited lands.
In order to proceed with the neces-
sary acquisitions I request that an application be made

Assistant Land Commissioner

Dear Mr. Seamer:
The City ,of St. Paul requires an easement for sewer construction and
maintenance purposes in connection with the construction of the Battle Creek
Sewer across the tax-forfeited property hereinafter described:
That part westerly of Highway #61 and northerly
of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
right of way, of the Southeast * of Section 3,
Township 28, Range 22, being 22.61 acres.
In addition to the requirement for sewer easement, the City is confronted
with a continuous, drainage problem in the area bounded by Trunk Highway #61,
the Minnesota Fish Hatchery property and the right of way of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company. For the most part, this is swamp area
which receives the natural drainage from the entire surrounding area. A drain-
age outlet from the Fish Hatchery property extending southeasterly to Battle
Creek at` the point of crossing the Burlington and Milwaukee tracks must be
preserved.
h.
'-In view of this requirement on the part of the City, it is requested that
you take the necessary steps to enable the City of St. Paul to acquire the fore-
going property for a sewer construction and maintenance easement and as a natural
drainage outlet. Blocks 24 and 25, Lower St. Paul, should be included at this
time.
I shall be very glad to,discuss this with you at your convenience.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE M. SHEPARD
