On grading Grace street.
To the President and Common Council:
GENTLEMEN: The undersigned aldermen of
the Fourth ward, to whom was referred the
grading of Grace street, and protest thereto,
uO respectfully IcpOIb udS1uS Decu over IL, ny
two of us, from Fort street to its intersection
with the road leading from the Club house to
Fort Smelling. We found it in passably fair
condition, but would expect it to be poor
road in some seasons of the year.
There are but six residents upon the street
who would be materially benefited by its be-
ing graded, and they have fairly convenient
entrance to the city via Summit avenue.
Tho estimated expense of sS, 440 to grade the
street we consider much more than the bene-
fits to be derived therefrom. We therefore
most respectfully recommend its postpone
ment.

mend that the ordinance remain as it is for the
present.

On triangular piece of ground on Tenth
and Grove street.
ST.. PAUL. Mimi, June 4th, 1878.
To the City Council:
The plat of Kittson's addition made in 1851
dedicates Tenth street to Grove street.
tween the North line of Tenth
street, the South line of Grove street, and the
east line of Locust street, according to that
plat, is widening of the streets, and l sup
pose belongs to them.
In 1854 another plat was filed and recorded
on which Tenth street terminates at Locust
street. The owners could not thus recall and
vacate a street they had already given to the
public, and unless there has been some other
proceeding vacating the street it still remains
az first laid out, and as it is shown on Curtis
map. The plat in this Office, which was shown
to the committee before your last meeting, was
copied from the plat of 1854, and therefore
wrong.
Very respectfully,
J.S. SEwALL, City Engineer.
