March 15, 1948 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to the claim of Anton Schmitz for damages, from my investigation it appears that on or about November 28, 1947, Anton Schmitz while going home from work fell on a sidewalk in front of 711 East 22nd St.; that said sidewalk was raised at dif- ferent places because of roots of trees, that on the low spots in the walk there was slick, smooth ice which was covered with a recent snowfall. That in his fall he sus• tained a fracture of his right arm which required medical care and attention and hospitalization. That the total amount of his bills in• clnding his doctors' bills amounted to $162.09. That he claims a total loss of wages in the amount oP X638.61. The sidewalk at the place where he fell and in the immediate vicin• ity is in bad condition. After con- ference with him he has agreed to accept $350.00 in full payment. I recommend that his claim be al- lowed in the amount of $350.00.

Duffey for damages in the amount of $10.74 caused to his automobile on or about February 10, 1948, when he ran into a trench or hole in the street on Kaufmann Avenue, I am of the opinion that the street was in a dangerous con- dition because of the way the trench covering the new sewer was replaced by the Contractor. I recommend that his claim be allowed in the sum of $10.74 and that a warrant be issued payable to Jahn C. Duffey for said amount and delivered to him upon delivery to the City of a release properly executed. It appears that the trench or hole complained of was caused by the Contractor building the sewer on Kaufmann Avenue. This job has not been completed and I recom- mend that the amount of this claim as paid by the City be withheld from the balance due said Con- tractor. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER City Solicitor.

Gentlemen: With reference to the Objections of Carl V. Riley and Mrs. Regina M. Duggan referred to me for in• vestigation and report, Objection No. 10 made by Mr. Riley is to the effect that the City Council is with- out jurisdiction in the matter for the reason it is proposed to not only pave Platt Street, but a pro- posed extension thereof which has not been dedicated to the City nor accepted as a Public Street. The facts are correct. The 1946 Code of Iowa, provides: "Sec. 391.2 STREET IM• PROVEMENTS: Cities shall have the power: 1, To improve any street by paving" At the present, the proposed ex- tension of Platt Street is not a street within the meaning of the Law, and therefor the Council is without authority, the Objection good, and the Present proceedings are void. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER City Solicitor. Councilman Wharton moved that the communication and report of City Solicitor Kintzinger be re• ceived and made a matter of rec- ord. Seconded by Councilman Van Duelman. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Murphy, Council- men Moffatt, Thompson, Van Duel- man, Wharton. Nays-None.
