Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayer Murphy, Council- men Moffatt, Van Duelman, Whar- ton, Nays-None, Absent-Councilman Thompson, September 2, 1947 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The Sisters of St. Francis have begun the construc- tion of Xavier Hospital on .the northerly side of Davis Street just outside the city limits. The archi- tects for the Sisters, Schmidt, Gar- den and Erikson ~of Chicago, are anxious to connect with the city sanitary sewer system, A search of the records describes that on September 27, 1926 an or- dinance was adopted granting the Sisters of St. Francis Convent the right to construct and maintain a sanitary sewer iu Windsor Avenue from the intersection of Lowther Street and Windsor Avenue north- erly to the city limits at Davis Street. However, this was never done since there is ~at present no sanitary sewer in Windrow Avenue over this route. Instead an eight inch sanitary sewer connected the Sister's property to a manhole im- mediately south of Davis Street in .the alley first west of Windsor Avenue, Y recommend that the City Coun- cil grant the Sisters~of Saint Fran- cis the right to connect the new hospital with the city sanitary sew- er system with the provision that should the system be thus over loaded that they be required to construct a separate sewer to handle the sewage.

It would appear to be in the best interest of the city and of aviation in this community to permit other operators to engage in business off the field and to terminate the present arrangement which virtual- ly gives to the Cedar Flying Ser- vice amonopoly. Respectfully submitted, A. A. RHOMBERG, City Manager, Mr. Del Lynn addressed the Coun- cil making formal application to operate at the Island Airport ander the same terms as the present operator, Mr, H: N. McAndrews, is operating. ° Councilman Wharton moved that the commm~ication of City Man- ager Rhomberg 'be received and made a matter of record and the City Manager directed to hold a conference with Mr McAndrews and Mr, Lynn to work out details on the operation of the Island Air• pmt and to submit a repm~t oP said conference to the City Council.

Dubuque, Iowa August 29, 1947 Hon, Mayor, Members of the City Council, and City Manager Dear Sirs: Iu compliance with instructions I am forwarding hero~ with a certified copy of a resolu- tion adopted by the Board oY Direc- tors at its regular meeting held Thursday, August 28, 1947, which is respectfully submitted in a sin- cere spirit of cooperation far your consideration. Cordially yours, J. A, KERPER, Secretary RESOLUTION Whereas, steadily increasing au- tomobile traffic is cre~atiug a car parking problem for which reme• dies must be provided if our city is to progress and attract patrons for our business establishments and other visitors, Whereas, while it is recognized that in order to control traffic and td avoid indiscriminate parking of cars for long periods the installa- tion of parking meters has become necessary, but it ,fs obvious to everyone that meters alone are only a partial solution and unless sup- plemented by the establishment of public parking' areas and/or mul• tiple story public garages, the use of ~parlring~ meters will result in creating antagonism and ill will towards the city on the part of not only visitors but our own residents as well. ~-Vhereas, the Master City Plan adapted some years ag'o, in the preparation of which a thorough study of this problem was made, provides for one such parking area iu connection with the widening and improvement of Robinson Street from Bluff to University and designates the area between Robinson Street and W.Bth Avenue from the Telegraph-Herald Build• ing west to University as a Parking Lot site.. Resolved, that the City Admin- istration be urged to carry out the plan as adopted and in addition cause a survey to bs made of areas East of Iowa Street as a possible site for a similar project, and that steps be inaugurated promptly to acquire such property or properties, in the interest of safety, convenience and general wel• fare of this community, I hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of a resolution adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Dubuque Chamber of Com- merce held Thursday, August 28th, 1947. J, A, Kerper, Secretary. Councilman Wharton moved that the communication of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors with reference to parking lot prro- ject and dated August 28th, 1947, be received and made a matter of record and the City Manager re- quested to arrange a meeting through the Secretary of the Cham- ber of Commerce with a group -- -~ 266 Adjourned Regular Session, September 2nd, 1947 representing the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, the Housing Committee of the Cham- ber of Commerce, the Citizens Ad- visory Parking Committee and the City Council to discuss the matters referred to in said communication.
