TO THE HONORABLE THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL:
GENTLELTN: -
The undersigned is the owner of all of the
property in Blocks 59 and 60 of Kittson' s Addition to the City. of
Saint Paul, in the County of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, and as
such owner hereby respectfully petitions you, the Common Council of
the City of Saint Paul, to order the vacation and discontinuance
of that portion of Pine Street in said city of St. Paul described

street laid out and platted between Blocks 59 and 60 of Kittson' s
Addition to St.Paul and extending from the southerly line of East
Fourth street to the northerly line of Prince street in said city.
The reasons for such vacation are as follows: Said one-
half of'. -Pine street has been for many years past entirely unused by
the public ,and has been by the public and by tacit permission of
the city authorities used and devoted to the use of various railway ✓
companies for railroad purposes, and the same is almost entirely
occupied by railroad tracks, switches, platforms and buildings.
At its northerly extremity, - that is, at the southerly line of
East Fourth Street and next to the land hereby requested to be va-
cated, - the grade of East Fourth street is approximately twelve
feet above the grade of that portion of Pine street referred to
herein, and/said East Fourth street has been for many years and is
now supported by a heavy and expensive wall of masonry constructed
especially "or the purpose and in the nature of a permanent im-
provement? said wall having been built by the railway companies
