that certain alley lying between Lots 1 and 2, on the east , and Lots
3, 4 and 5 , on the west , in Ogden' s Addition to the City of St. Paul ,
of
a platAwhich is hereto attached and made a part of this petition;
that your petitioner, Joseph A. Cox, is the owner of Lot 2 abutting
said alley on the east, under contract from Noyes Bros . & Cutler ,
(who are the fee owners thereof) , and the said Joseph A. Cox is .lso
the owner of the easterly 20 feet of Lot 3 abutting said alley on

the west ; that your petitioner, George Cogel , is the owner of the
balance of said Lot 3 abutting said alley on the west , and your

And your petitioners respectfully pray that the Common Council

the easterly corner of said alley and Short Street and extending along
the easterly line of said alley, a distance of 80 feet , and a line
beginning at the westerly -corner of said alley and Short Street and
extending along the westerly line of said alley a distance of 70 .
feet , and a straight line connecting the southerly end of said last
two mentioned lines ,) or so much of said alley as is included in the
red ink lines shown on said plat hereto attached.
And in consideration thereof , your petitioner , J o;-ieph A:

such vacation within ten days after the same is so vacated, convey

to the City of St. Paul an easement for alley purposes in the easterly
20 feet of said Lots 3 and 4 as a substitute for said vacated portion
of said alley; that the land herein proposed to be conveyed as a sub-

purposes , 20 feet of said Lots 3 •and 4 ; that by this arrangement ,
an alley as good for all practical purposes will he retained and the
