The Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway Company of Iowa and Thomas H.Brown make petition to the Common Council of the city of St.Paul for the vacation of Eva street, so-- called , between East Fillmore avenue and the Levee or Water street. Said Eva street was originally designated upon the plat in the office of the Register of Deeds of Ramsey county, Minnesota, as Goodhue street, and Fillmore avenue was origi- nally designated upon the plat in said office as Fourth street. The said Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway Company of Iowa and the said. Thomas H.Brown are the owners of all of the property abutting upon both sides of said Eva street between Fillmore avenue and said Levee or Water street, and your petitioners attach hereto a true and correct plat of the portion of said Eva street for the vacation of which this petition is made. The said Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway Company of Iowa is engaged in the construction of an extension at- of its line of railway from Albert Lea, which was formerly the Northern terminus of said lire, to the cities of St . Paul and Minneapolis, and it has purchased a large tract of land in Marshall 's Addition to west St.Paul and In Brooklynd, an ad- dition to St.Paul, as and for a part of its terminal facilities? in said city of St.Paul, and, among other improvements , A pro -' poses to construct a terminal freight house upon portions of blocks four (4) and five (5) in said. Marshall's Addition to West St.Paul. Said terminal freight house will be of such dimensions, because of the length of such building, that it is impossible to construct the same wholly within the limits of 411' one of said blocks, and, in order to make said terminal freight house of the proper dimensions, it will be necessary to vacate Eva street so that said building may be constructed in part upon block four (4) and in part upon block five (5 ) of said Marshall 's Addition to west St.Paul. Said railway company also contemplates otherwise improving said premises and adapt- ing the same to the needs and requirements of its business, by the construction of tracks, switches and approaches, and, in order to properly and conveniently make such construction, said company should use said Eva street. Further facts and reasons for the granting of this petition to vacate Eva street between the streets named herein 1 are as follows : Your petitioners aver that this portion of Eva street has never ben used to any great extent for public awc\.Y`cuwt�'ho�.�r� travel,Aeven if said street were graded or otherwise improved; I said street extends only a few feet in a Northerly direction beyond said hevee or water street, and the public will not, in the opinion of your petitioners, be seriously inconvenienced by the vacation of this street. The property purchased by petitioner the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway Company was acquired for the • express purpose of constructing thereon suitable and proper freight terminals and other facilities for the operation of its said railway, and said terminals were located with a view, among other purposes, of serving a large and increasing number of important factories, industries and other business enter- prises in the vicinity, which require, in the transaction of their business, the use of convenient railway facilities, and the location of said freight terminals, in the opinion of your petitioners, is the most accessible and convenient, for its patrons generally, that said company was able to obtain and acquire. • - - i .: There are streets East and West of said Eva street between the points herein named that are now, and al*ays will be, in the opinion of your petitioners, ample and sufficient to accommodate public travel. W h e r e f o r e, Your petitioners pray that said Eva street, between said East Fillmore avenue and the Levee or `Water street, may be vacated. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said petitioners have hereunto set their hands and seals this 12th day of March, 1902.
