At 8:00 p.m. Mayor Warkentien opened the Public Hearing on the vacation of the walkway between 1740 and 1746 Holton running to Albert St. Concerned residents, Mrs. John O'Reefe, 1743 Albert, Mrs. H. G. Ewan, 1749 Albert and Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Salminen, 1740 Holton were in attendance for the Hearing. Attorney Van de North informed those in attendance that there are four abutting landowners, 2 to the north of the walkway and 2 to the south and that the assumption has been that the walkway could be divided equally among the four. However, after investigating the matter, Mr. Van de North was of the opinion that this may not be the case. He quoted an excerpt from an article in the Minnesota Real Estate Journal as follows: "Usually the center line of the vacated way is the dividing line with that part of the vacated way on each side accruing to the parcels on either side. However, if the full width of the vacated way was laid out entirely along the edge of one plat (as happens to be the case in the Falcon Heights walkway) and the dedicator (who was Joseph Keller) owned no land beyond the edge of the plot, upon vacation the full width of the way would accrue to the abutfit.ng lots in the same plat LAUDERDALE COMPREHENSIVE.
