3. Thiering', Frank (Deed) Caro-
lnte, r/3 interest Lots 7 and S Rod-
gers Sub.
For investigation acrd report, the
same come under the provisions
of Section 427.9, 1946 Code, Sus-
pension of Taxes. Under this sec-
tion there is no provision for ap-
proval by City Council. The mat-
ter rests solely within the power
of the Board of Supervisors.
It appears that the applicants
own an undivided interest iu the
various pieces of real estate.
An Opinion of the Attorney Gen-
eral dated, November 23, 1939 in
response to an inquiry asking
whether taxes of undivided inter-
ests owned by various owners
should be suspended, stated as fol-
lows:
"In answer to your second ques-
tion, if the old ag'e recipient antl
his deceased wife left no issue,
then the property would descend.
directly to the husband, if the
property was valued at less than
$x,500,00, In this situation, it is
our opinion that the auditor
should suspend the taxes. How-
ever, if the old age recipient and
his wife left issue, the husband,
of course, would only get one-
third of the property upon his
wife's death. It is our opinion
that in this situation, the auditor
should not suspend the taxes as
it would hardly be practicable
to suspend one-third of the taxes
artd collect the other two-thirds."
Atorney GeneraPs Opinions, 1940,
page 44i, 445.
These applications should be re-
turned to the Board of Supervisors,
with a copy of my communication.

In this connection, however,
since Mr. Didesch's petition bears

that the trend in this general area
is toward Multiple Residence sta-

Dear Jay: The report of the Du-
bugae County Grand Jury for the
January, 1947 Term of Court, which
was sulmitted to me on Saturday,
included a request that a copy of
said report be forwarded to the
Dubuque County Board of Super•
visors, and to the City Council of
the City of Dubuque.
I enclose herewith a copy of the
report and ask that you submit it
to the City Council at their next
meeting.
Yours very truly,
MILTON J. GLENN, Judge
19th Judicial District of Iowa
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF
IOj~'A, IN AND FOR DUBUQUE
COUNTY REPORT OF
GRAND JURY
January Term, 1947
To the Honorable Milton J. Glenn,
Judge of the District Court of Du-
buque County, Iowa:
Comes now the undersigned meut-
lers of the Grand Jury for the
January 1947 Term of the District
Court iu aucl for Dubuque County,
Iowa, and present this report to the
D15trlet Gonrt.
The nudersig~necl members of the
Grand Jury have been iu session 3
days and have investigated all cases
of law violations coming within the
jurisdiction of the said Grand Jury.
This Grand Jmy returns 1 iucliet-
ment and further state that they
have dismissed no cases and have
exatuiued during' the period tlai
They have been in session 1 wftoes~.
This Grand Jury further states
that iu addition to the above listed
cases aucl witnesses, they have ex-
amined one witness. have investi-
gated the complaints of said wit-
ness. and have taken no further ae>
tiou thereon. This Grand Jury fur-
ther state that they have made an
inspection of the Dubuque County
Court House and the Dubuque.
County Jail and are familiar with
the conditimt of the City Hall of
Dubuque, Iowa and in connection
with said three building's, submit
the following findings and recom-
mendations:
The present Court House was
constructed 56 years ag'q the pres-
euC County Jail was emistructed
nearly 100 years ag'o, and the Du-
bugne City Hall was constructed 89
years ago. All are now inadequate
for their purposes, all contain fire
and health hazards and their con-
dition is such that the cost of up-
keep is prohibitive and attempted
renovation would be a waste of
public funds.
The Court House has mo fire-
proof vault for the preservation of
County records; over-crowded con-
ditions iu many of the offices re-
sult in important records being'
stared on the upper floors, outside
of any vault; the top floors, parti-
cularly, constitute a fire hazard;
tle tall steeple may le in such con-
dition as to constitute a hazard to
Court IIouse personnel and passer-
by; the leaky condition of the roof,
the antiquated toilet facilities, and
condition of other parts of the
builduig, indicate that many re-
pairs or replacements are needed
at tle present time.
Tle County Jail is being main-
tained efficiently and adequately;
however, it is so antiquated and
out-moved, that it does not furnish
fit facilities for the confinement of
human beings. The second and turd
tier cell gangways are still in a
dangerous condition.
The cast of maintaining these
three old building's is a constant
drain on public funds which will
continue and increase. The Grand
Jury are informed that fire officials
have recently ordered that fire es-
~, capes be placed on the Court House
Special Session, Tanuar~-lSth, 19~~ 11
anil that such addition Wray cost
twelve thousand dollars.
This Grand Jury is informed that
in many communities throughout
the nation, a Cottrt House, County
Jail and City Hall have been com-
bined into one milt, resu,Iting iv
efficiency, convetuence, and de-
creased maintenance costs.
SVherefore, this Grand Jury re-
spectfitlly reconunends and sug-
gests that the members of the Dn-
bugtte County Board of Supervisors
and of the Dubuque City Council,
either by themselves m' tlraug'h
a Cmnmittee to be. appointed by
them, in'vestig'ate and consider the
possibility of replacittg the present
Court House, City Hall and County
Jail with a single new unit, aatd if
this plan is foand feasible, that ±he
necessary legal steps be taken to
submit the question to the voters,
so that such unit may be construct-
ed as soon as building conditions
permit-
The Grand Jury requests the
Court to forward a copy of this
report to the Dulugne Cotmty
Board of Supervisors and to the
City Council of the City of Dubuque.
