Gentlemen: - The undersigned, being a majority of all the owners, resident within the City of St. Paul, and a majority of all the owners of property along the line of that portion of Cliff street hereinafter described, respectfully petition your honorable body to vacate and discontinue as a public street , the westerly two (2) feet of Cliff street from Yankee street to Von Minden street, the same abutting upon and being in front of Block four (4) of Winslow' s Addition to the City of St. Paul, as shown upon the annexed plat , made a part of this petition. The facts and reasons for such vacation are that a number of years ago said City graded said Cliff street in front of said Block 4, without condemning any easement for slopes along said block, and in such grading, cut and excavated the surface of the street about five feet below the surface of said Block 4, thereby leaving a perpendicular embankment immediately adjoining the edge of said street , composed largely of shale rock. That said embankment from time to time and almost continuously becomes loosened by action of the elements and rock and earth fall therefrom into and upon the sidewalk in front of said property, and thereby not only endangers and renders unsafe the street in front of said property, but damages and injures said property as well. That said Cliff street south of Von Minden street is not opened or used for public travel and cannot be so used, as it is occupied by railroad tracks and used for railroad purposes. That if said westerly two feet thereof is vacated, said street in front of said Block 4 will still have a greater remaining width than it has northerly of said Block 4, and will tend to straighten the same and render it of more uniform width. That the purpose of such vacation is to enable the owners of said Block 4 to construct a retaining wall upon said two feet, to the height of the surface of said Block 4, so as not only to preserve said property, but at the same time to render the street in front thereof more safe. That said street, after such vacation, will still be more than sixty feet in width, and the construction of said retaining wall will be a benefit and advantage to said City and to the public, as well as to said property. Wherefore, your petitioners pray that the westerly two feet of said Cliff street from Yankee street to Von Minden street , in front of said Block 4, be vacated and discontinued as a public street.
