Balch v. St. Anthony Park West
Supreme Court of Minnesota
Henry L. Balch and others petitioned the district court for Ramsey county to vacate the plat of St. Anthony Park West so far as blocks 2, 5 and 8, except as to the portions of three streets affected thereby or abutting thereon, were concerned. The matter was heard before Dickson, J., who granted the petition to vacate the plat but denied petitioners’ application to vacate the public streets or alleys. From that order, petitioners appealed.
1Opinion of the CourtHolt, J.
In this application to vacate the plat to part of an addition in the city of St. Paul, the court vacated the plat, but refused to vacate or take any action in respect to the public streets and alleys. The applicants appeal.
The court was evidently of the opinion that section 3369, R. L. 1905, as amended by chapter 503, p. 635, Laws 1909 (section 6863, G-. S. 1913), vested the vacation and alteration of public streets, within the city of St. Paul, in the city government to the exclusion of the district court, for otherwise the findings of fact would require a vacation of the streets and alleys…
