1Opinion of the CourtHallam, J.
Plaintiff owns a tract of unplatted land in the city of Minneapolis. Desiring to plat it, she caused a survey to be made and a plat prepared in the usual manner, and in November, 1916, presented it to the city council for approval. The plat conformed to all requirements of the statute and city charter. The city council refused to approve it on the ground that the streets laid out upon it had not been graded. This refusal was pursuant to a resolution passed by the council in February, 1915, adopting a report of its standing committee on street grades and additions. This report read as follows:
