Burnsville has had two this year.

I thought the list was a bit surprising too. What jumped out at me was that the states these cities are located have a common thread of having low taxation. I was expecting to see Washington DC, Houston, and Chicago.

Star Tribune has a map for the entire state.

He emigrated to USA in 1910. He married with wife no1: Marie and was
married with wife no2: Selma. He got 2 daughters: Violet born 1918 and
Pearl, born 1921. His wife (I don´t know the name of here) died in 1926.

His last adress was: 516 University Avenue SE Minneapolis 14. Minnesota.

My big question since many years: Is anybody of the daugters still alive,
and if they are? where are they living? Did they got any children and where
are these relatives?

If somebody can help me us whit this family mystery, I would be much obliged.

Addresses haven't been written like that since the 1960s. That address would now read "516 University Avenue Southeast, Minneapolis, Minn. 55414". I live in that area and can also tell you that the physical building with that address probably dates back to the 1920s. -- so it hasn't been demolished or replaced since your relative lived there.
I looked up Census records. In the 1930 Census, he is listed as living with his wife Marion, and their three daughters -- Jean M., Audrey L. and Phyllis M. He was listed as living in what was then the 9th Ward -- on the 28XX block of a street name that I can't read (records were handwritten).
There is also an Amil Anderson listed in the 1910 Census. That Amil was born in Sweden around 1885 and was living in Burlington, Iowa with his parents -- Carl and Ada (aged 50 and 49, respectively). That Amil also had three sisters named Hilda, Ruth and Margaret. Carl was a cabinetmaker.

It looks like North Minneapolis is now tied with Burnsville...

I don't have a problem with execution in principal, but it is expensive and courts can always be proved wrong. More importantly, it does nothing to deter crime. Texas is not the safest state in the country.
