ST. P. r. r. Co.'S Proposition
To the Honorable President and Common
Council City of ST. Paul.
Gentlemen: The Board of Public Works
respectfully represent that at various times
your honorable body have sent to this Board
orders for condemning easements Tor street
crossings over railroad rights of way, and
the custom has been 10 make an assessment
of dement's and damages, allowing damages
of one dollar, merely nominal allowance.
Many Of these orders have taken effect, the
condemnation being perfected by reason OF
no appeal. In others an appeal has been
taken to the district court, and the city has
been defeated.
Some time since the Milwaukee Railroad
company made 10 the Board proposition
in writing, to the effect that for and in con
for each crossing. that company would take
no action against the city, and when ease
ment for bridge purposes only was pro-
posed TO be taken that it would not resist
nominal allowance as damages.
The Board desires to know whether your
honorable body will empower 1T to make
such terms with the various railroad COM
panies doing business in this city, and II so,
request that the proper resolution be passed
authorizing the Board to confer with said
mir tO
condemn easements over rights OF way be sent
it, above-named consideration be allowed
uniformly for grade crossings.
