Gent 1 ement
After data has been submitted 'by the company' engineers studying
the conditions existing in Rochester, Minnesota, the company recommends the
following route for the pipe lines to serve natural gas to the Municipal
Electric Plant also to the Franklin Heating Plant:
Commencing at the border regulator station to be located immediately
west of llth Street, and north of the intersection of said Street with the
Chicago North Western Railroad, a 10" line should be carried along the side
of the said street southward to a point opposite loth Street, running between
Conley's Addition and Meyers Re -Sub -Division, thence eastward along the south
side of 5th Street to John Street, thence southward along the west side of
John Street to 8th Stree , thenoe , eastward aloeig either the north or south
side of said 8th street pntrfere the trip Block 9 toaa point
oi t immeuiatesyo south of the Municipa E ecttric ++ lly h wn
by the red line designating such proposed 10" line on this attached plat of said
City of Rochester.
In the event the line to the Franklin -Heating Plant is to be a
branch from above 10 line to the Mtlnioipal Electric Plant, then the company
wouldreeommend that an 8" line take off' from above 10" line on 4th Avenue
and be carried southward aloe the west side of said 4th Avenue to 3rd Street,
thence eastward along the north side of said 3rd Street to the alley in Block

"TO THE COMMON COUNCIL.OF THE CITY OF .ROCHESTE4 MINNESOTA
Gentlemen:
The Franklin Heating Plant, Rochester, Minnesota can be reached by
carrying aline from the Company's main line just north and west of the
intersection of the Chicago North Western Railroad with the public highway
known as State Highway No.20 and U.S.Highway No.559 thence southward along
the west side of said public highway and outside of the city limits and
beyond the new belt line highway along the west, southwest and southern side
of City of Rochester, and remaih3rig without the city limits to a point just
south of such belt line road and west of its intersection with Zumbro River.
From this point an 8" line could brost above belt line highway and run thence
northward along the east side of Glencoe Street to its intersection with.9th
Street, thence northeasterly along the angling public street known as ,
to intersection of 7th and 4th Streets, thence eastward along north side of
said 7th Street +ten 2rd Avenue SW,, thence northward 'alone the we^st side of 2nd Ave-
nue SW to 6th Street; thence eastward along the north side of 8th Street to
the alley in Block 1 of Rochester Addition thence northward throe .h the alley
in said Block 1 and crossing 2nd Street ana northward throw �;h the alley in
Block 8 of said Rochester Addition and crossing 4th Street and northward through
the alley in Block 11 of said Rochester Addition and crossing 3rd Street and
through the alley in Block 17 to the Franktin HeatW. Pant and as more completely
shown and designated by red ine on t e at ached p a o City of Rochester.
To bring the 8" line into the Franklin Heating*, Plant from!, the south,
will require, approximately, .6 of a mile more construction within the city
limits, and on account of building the Company's line around the west southwest,
and south sid44 of the oitg, such route will require more time to reach taid
Franklin Heating Plant. Stich route will carry the pipq ne though less of the
built up portion of the city. About two and one-half 2i blocks of alley paving]
must be cut.
Bringingg ;n the 8" line to the Franklin HeatingPlant as
a brunch off t _.e IO line to the Municippal Electric Planwill
require more construction. within the built up portion of the city,
but will be .6 of a mile shorter and permit completion of the
construction at an earlier date.
