The Honorable Mayor and Council
City of Saint Paul, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Some part of the necessary improvement and extension of the rater Department's
filter plant at McCarron Station is now being constructed on lands acquired for
such purpose in 1950. Only a narrow strip of the lands contiguous to the depart-
ment's properties at this location and deemed desirable for future extension and
improvement of the water plant remain unimproved; and the Water Board at its meet-
ing held November 30, 1955 directed its General Manager to negotiate with the
owners for the sale of these lands to the Board at reasonable prices acceptable to
the Board and your Land Committee.
The particular tract of land here referred to is more particularly described as
follows:
All that certain portion of the south 242.87 feet of the north half (ND)
of the south two-thirds (S 2/3) of the southwest quarter (SPIN) of Sec-
tion 18 in Township 29 North of Range 22 West in the County of Ramsey,
State of Minnesota, which is bounded as follows, to-wit: on the east
by a line 166.2 feet west of and parallel to the east line of the south-
west quarter (SW1) of said Section 18 and on the west by the extended
easterly line of Block 3 of St. Aubin and Dion's Rice Street Addition to
the City of St. Paul, according to the plat of said addition of record
in Book 5 of Plats at page 1, in the office of the Register of Deeds in
and for said County of Ramsey, this parcel comprising a tract of land
measuring approximately 528.6 feet east-west by 242.87 feet north-south
and containing 2 96/100 acres of land, more or less.
, Such negotiation has been had with the owner of a tract comprising approximately
2.96 acres of such lands and an option given the Board to purchase that land for
consideration of $3000.00, the same as the fair present market value fixed for
same by Asst. Valuation Engineer Eltor.. A. Dehn and so reported by him in letter
dated January !t, 1956.
The funds for this purchase being now available in theWater Department fund 23,
I deem it desirable that the purchase of this tract of land be consumated at this
time for the consideration named above, and I therefore recommend to your honorable
body that the purchase be accordingly approved.
