TO THE COMMON COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA:
We, the undersigned , being a majority of the owners of the
property on both sides of that portion of Laurel Avenue and Finn
Avenue hereinafter petitioned to be vacated, respectfully petition
your Honorable Body to vacate Laurel Avenue between Cleveland Avenue
and Cretin Avenue , and to vacate Finn Avenue between Selby Avenue
and Laurel Avenue as the same are marked red upon the accompanying
plat .
T1'..e reason your petitioners ask for this vacation is that the
College of St. Thomas , the owner of all the property lying south of
that portion of Laurel Avenue petitioned to,be vacated , and more than
one-half of the property fronting on the north side of said Laurel
Avenue, and also owns one-half of the property fronting on that por-
tion of Finn Avenue petitioned to be vacated, has its buildings lo-
cated on both sides of the said Laurel and Finn Avenues , and it is
desirous of having said Avenues vacated that connections of water,
light , and heat , and free access may be had between all of said Col-
lege Buildings ; and also to provide for other buildings necessary for
the further extension of the College.
The other petitioner, Most Rev. Jon Ireland , owns all other
property fronting on said Avenues petitioned to be vacated, with the
exception of 108 feet, on which said Ireland holds a contract to
purchase.
That these portions of Laurel and Finn Avenues petitioned to be
vacated have never been opened, graded, or used as a traveled highway.
