COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor-Veto-
To the Honorable, the President and
Common Council of the City of St.
Paul:
herewith return without my approval
the Ordinance No. =. entitled: ''Au ordi-
nance requiring payment of money in GER
!ail cases of the vacation of public grounds,
streets, alleys and highways within the
limits of the city," My reasons are that
the city has not the fee of the public
grounds, streets, alleys and highways, but
only an easement therein Tor the
public use, and when no longer required
Tor such use, the same should of right be
vacated, when the interests therein revert
to the adjacent owners. This is the law of
the land. wisely framed, and sanctitied by
time. If the public interests required the
use of such public grounds and streets, etc.,
they should not be vacated; if it
does not require them for such
use they should be vacated un-
condition ally. otherwise there would be a
strong temptation to form combinations
to effect REIMBURSEMENT by the city of pub
lie easements which ought not to be granted.
If the city has acquired a fee. by purchase
OIL otherwise, in them or any of them, that
presents another question, that is, it is the
sole owner and can sell or dispose OF its in
tereStS in any manner it sees tit.
