To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
At a spacial meeting of the City
Council on June 29, 1948 certain
petitions were referred to the
Chief of Pclice for investigation
and report; namely, a petition from
the Sieg Dubuque Company,
Iiretschmer Treadway Company,
Midwest Lumber Company, and
a petition from a number of resi•
dents on 1st Street.
I have made an investigation
and herewith submit the following
recommendations:
That parking be restricted to two
hour parking on both sides of 5th
Street frcm Cenfra] Ave. to White
Street.
That parking be restricted to two
hour parking on the South side of
9th Street between Washington and
Jackson Streets.
That parking be restricted to two
hour parking on the South side of
7th Street between Washington
and Jackson Streets.
In the case of the petition ~~l~~
ing for angle parking on the south
side of 1st Street between Maiu
and Locust we find that since the
present restriction has caused the
elimination of the all day parker
there is nc congestion and it is
herewith recommended that the
petition be denied.
Respectfully yours,

RESOLUTION AND APPLICA-
TION FOR APPROVAL TO LEVY
AN E1IERGENCY TAB.
WHEREAS, the revenue in cer-
tain funds of the municipality set
cut in the within application is in-
adequate to meet the actual and
necessary expenses which must be
paid from said funds and any extra-
ordinary or unforseen expense
which may arise during the ensuing
fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the inadequacy of
the revenue referred tc is deemed
to constitute an emergency which
requires the levy of an emergency
tax; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OH'
DUBUQUE, DUBUQUE COUNTY,
IOWA, that the State Comptroller
be and is hereby petitioned for
approval to levy an emergency ta.c
for the year 1948, in the sum of
Thirty Eight Thousand Four Hun-
dred Seventeen ($3x,417.00), (not
exceeding one mill) said tax to be
used as set out below.
The Consolidated Fund is to
be benefited in the sum of $20,900:
00, and the Fire Maintenance Fuud
in the sum of $17,517.00. Tlie
millage levies for both of these
funds are at the maximum permit-
ted by law but the extraordinary
demands made by reason of popn•
lotion growth and the increased
prices for goods and services make
it necessary to levy an emergency
tax to supplement the proceeds
from the permitted millage levies.

To the Honorable Mayor, City
Manager and City Council of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen:
The undersigned owners of prop-
erty abutting and adjacent to Platt
Street and Platt Street Extension
from the East curb line of James
Street to the East curb line of
Cardiff Street, respectfully object
to the proposed resolution of neces•
city to the proposed plans and
specifications and to the cost of
said improvement and special
assessment to pay such cost upon
the following grounds:
1. The proposed special assess-
ment as to the property of each of
the undersigned owners is not in
proportion to the special benefits
conferred upon tho property by the
proposed improvement and is iu
excess of such benefits.
2. The plans and specifications
prepared by the City Engineer and
approved by the Council now on
file in the office of the City Clerk,
provide for a concrete pavement.
This is one of the most expensive
types of street and it is believed
that the actual cost will exceed
the estimated cost by more than
the ten per cent limit provided by
taw for the special assessment a-
gainst any lot.
3. A street such as the newly es•
tablished Wooten Street would
~~ M
282 Special Session, July 18th, 1948
meet all the requirements for the
proposed Platt Street and Platt
Street Extension upon which the
traffic will he very limited and
much less than the traffic over
Wooten Street to and from Mercy
Hospital. The petitioners for Platt
Street and Plait Street Extension
have stated before the City (council
that this type of street would
meet with their approval. Attention
is also called to the fact that there
are no sewer or gas mains in the
proposed Platt Street or Platt
Street Extension and in conformity
with the general policy of the City
Council the street should not be
caved with concrete or other per-
manent paving until the utilities
are first provided.
Dated July 19, 1948.

To the Ilonorable Mayor

Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your instructions
sealed bids were received until
10:00 o'clock A.IDl. on July 19, 1948
for 16 units of Multiple T-
Hangars for the Municipal Airport.
Four bids were received as shown
on the attached tabulation.
Construction of the T-Hangars
ou the basis of the lowest bids
received would make it impractica-
ble far the city to rent space for
privately owned aircraft at reason•
able rates. Therefore I recommend
that the bids be rejected and some
rnore feasible means be found to
provide T-Hangars at the Airport.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

the recommendation of City Man-
ager Rhomberg be approved. Sec-

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your instructions,
sealed bids were received until
10:00 A. M. on July 19, 1948 for
the widening of James Street. This
was the second call for bids on
this project. At the first letting
on April 12, 1948 no proposals were
received.
Today the two attached bids
were received from the K-M Con-
struction Co. and from Thos. Flynn
Coal Co. The bid of the K-M Con-
atruction Co. is lower, however,
through error it was made out
for the items of work called for
in the earlier letting.
I recommend that the bids be
rejected and a contract be negoti-
ated at a price not in excess of
the lowest bid received.
Respectfully suomitted,
A. A. Rhomberg,
City Manager.
Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Man-
alter Rhomberg be approved. Sec-
onded by Councilman Wharton.

RESOLUTION AND APPLICA-
TION FOR APPROVAL TO LEVY
AN EMERGENCY TAX
WHEREAS, the revenue in cer-
tain funds of the municipality set
out in the within application is
inadequate to meet the actual and
necessary expenses which must be
paid from said funds and any ex-
traordinary or unforeseen expense
which may arise during the ensu-
ing fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the inadequacy of
the revenue referred to is deemed
to constitute an emergency which
requires the levy of an emergency
tax; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
City Council of the City
of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa,
that the State Comptroller be and
is hereby petitioned for approval
to levy an emergency tax for the
year 1948, in the sum of Thirty
Eight Thousand Four Hundred
Seventeen ($38,417.00), (not ex-
ceeding one mill) said tax to be
used as set out below.
The Consolidated Fund is to be
benefited in the sum of $20,900.00
and the Fire Maintenance Fund in
the sum of $17,517.00. The millage
levies far both of these funds are
at the maximum permitted by law
but the extraordinary demands
made by reason of population
growth and the increased prices
for goods and services make it
necessary to levy an emergency tax
to supplement the proceeds from
the permitted millage levies.

To the Honorable ana
City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
The City of Dubuque Water De•
partment carries Public Liability
and Property Damage Insurance
with the Ohio Casualty Co. Policy
No. M C 26534, through its author-
ized agent Schweitering & Wallis.
This policy was given to the City
Solicitor in his office, and is still in
his possession.
The Ohio Casualty Co. is the
Water Department's representa-
tive in settling the claims for dam-
ages at the Circus Grounds on
East Fourth St., May 18, 1948.
They have made their investiga-
tions and in the last conversation
with their adjustor, agrees to de-
fend our interest in the matter.
From my knowledge of this case,
one of two things caused the acci•
dent: First, a defective hydrant, in
which case the Water Department
and its insurance carrier are liable,
or Second, negligence on the part
of the Fire Department, in which
case the City is liable.
Respectfully submitted,
J. J. HAIL
Superintendent,
City Water Department.
Councilman Wharton moved that

Honorable Mayor and
Members oP the City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Lester Mueller for $21.00 caused
to his automobile while parked iu
front of his home at 2446 Wash-
ington St. in the City of Dubuque.
Claimant has been in the practice
of parking his car in front of his
home which is across from the
ball diamond. That while a ball
game was on a ball was hit a•
cross the street hitting his car on
the top and causing the cloth top
to split on both sides from where
it was fastened and to be of no use.
It has been held by the New York
Court of Appeals and the New
Jersey Court of Appeals that a
municipality is liable when one is
struck by a foul ball while passing
along sidewalk bordering portion of
the park.
I am of the opinion that the claim
herein should be paid and recom-
mend that a warrant be issued for
X21.00 payable to his order and
delivered to him upon delivery to
the City of a release properly exe-
cuted by him.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. K1NT7,INGER
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson move i
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Kintzinger be approved
302 Special Session, July Igth, 1948
and the City Auditor instructed to
draw a warrant in the amount of
$21.00 in favor of Lester Mueller,
as settlement in full of his claim,

que of a Properly executed release,

Gentlemen:
With reference to a number of
claims for damages received by in-
dividuals waiting in line to enter
Mills Bros. Circus on the 4th
Street Extension in the City of
Dubuque about 1:30 P. M, on May
18, 1948; sometime prior thereto
a connection had been made from
a fire hydrant for water for the
circus, and water had been run-
ning through said connection into
the circus; that about 1:30 that
afternoon firemen of the City of
Dubuque went to the location of
this hudrant, one fireman had a
wrench to shut off the water and
connect the fire hose with the
hydrant. That when he placed his
wrench on top of the hydrant, a
cap blew off causing a large stream
of water under heavy pressure to
be discharged therefrom and a-
gainst various individuals, knock-
ing some to the ground and dam-
aging some otherwise. It was later
discovered that the threads on the
nipple to which this cap had been
attached were cross sectioned and
defective. In my opinion this con-
dition should have been discovered
and remedied and therefore, the
liability herein is one of the
Dubuque City Water Department.
I recommend that the claims be
allowed and paid from the City
Water Department, and that the
remittances be paid to the claim-
ants upon delivery to the City of
a release properly executed by
them.
