In re: Claim of Nora Kane
Honorable Ma}nor and
Members of the City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
ti1'ith reference to the action of Nora
Kane against the Cit}* of Dubuque,
no~v pending in the District Court of
Dubuque County, Iowa, claiming
$3,000.00 for damages because of in-
juries sustained by her in falling on a
sidewalk on or about March 10, 1940,
in front of a residence located on West
5th and Bluff Streets in the City of
Dubuque, at which time she received
serious and permanent injuries requir-
ing the services of physicians, nurses
and hospital care. That she further
claims that said injuries were due to
the negligence of the City in permit-
ting the sidewalk to become in a de-
fective condition in permitting water
from a driveway to be discharged
thereon and form ice, ?which sidewalk
~, ~as in a dangerous and unsafe condi-
tion.
After this action was commenced in
tre District Court, I caused notice to
person liable over to be served on
Kathryn J. Cooper, the owner of this
.property, notifying her that in the
event a judgment was rendered against
the City of Dubuque that the City
~~rould bring action against her for
an}~ judgment that might be rendered
in the action commenced by Nora
Kane. That I have investigated this
case to some extent and consulted with
the attorney for the plaintiff and they
have agreed to accept $750.00 in full
payment of their claim. That after
receiving said offer I took the same
up with the insurance company carry-
ing instrance for Kathryn J. Cooper
and they have agreed to one-half of
$750.00 or $375.00.
I am of the opinion that this case
should be settled by the City of Du-
bugtte paying to Nora Kane the sum
of $375.00.
Notice of Hospital Lien has been
filed with. the City in which the St.
Joseph's Mercy Hospital of Dubuque
claims a lien upon arty atnount that
may be paid to Nora Kane. Arrange-
ments are being made by Nora Kane
to have this lien released, and no pay-
ments should be made until the lien
is released and notice thereof given
to the City.
I recommend that Nora Kane be
paid the sum of $375.00 and that a
warrant be issued Payable to Czizek
cC- Czizek, her attorneys, upon deliv-
ery to the City of good release exe-
cuted by plaintiff, a dismissal with pre-
judice of her action in the District
Court of Dubuque County, Iowa, and
notice of release of hospital lien filed
by St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital of Du-
buque.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor
Councilman Murphy moved that the
recommendation of City Solicitor Kint-
zinger be approved and that a warrant
in the amount of $375.00 be ordered
drawn payable to Czizek ~ Czizek,

rant to be delivered upon the delivery
to the City of Dubuque of a release
executed by plaintiff, a dismissal with
prejudice of her action in the District

Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen
Numerous complaints are being
made about the sawdust in our factory
and downtown districts. As you will
recall, an investigation was made last
fall by the Iowa State Department of
Health and the conclusion reached by
the State men was that it could not
definite)}> be classed as a health haz-
ard, but they suggested that it be
dealt ~yith as a nuisance.
This problem has assumed such pro-
portions, that I respectfully recommend
that the Cit}> Council view the areas
involved and arrange a meeting with
the management of the various plants
involved with a view to affording re-
lief to the complaintants.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOI\IB~RG,

The Honorable Alayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
Since the adoption of Ordinance No.
7-39 on March 30, 1939, which reduced
and fixed electric rates in this city,
the study of the electric and transpor-
tation systems of the Interstate Power
Company has been in progress. On
July 2, 1940, an agreement was reach-
ed with the company on the values of
the property as of December 31, 1938,
used and useful in furnishing electrical
energy to the customers in Dubuque.
Negotiations were had between the
representatives of the city and the cont-
pany on all phases of the rate situa-
tion.
Herewith submitted are drafts of
t`yo ordinances, one dealing with elec-
tric rates and the other with bus fares,
ji-hich I recommend to }>our honorable
bod}> for passage. The proposed elec-
tric rate ordinance will produce a re-
duction of approximate)}> $50,000.00 an-
nually to commercial and industrial
light and power users. No reduction
is contemplated for residential classifi-
cation, since a very substantial reduc-
tion iu that type of use teas accom-
plished previous)}>. The bus fare ordi-
nance provdies for an adult fare of
five cents.
Respectfully submitted,

Place near Chestnut Street, she slip-
ped and fell on some ice and snov~ on
said sidewalk that was in a dangerous
and defective condition; that shortly
after this party fell the walk was cov-
ered with cinders; that I have discuss-
ed this matter with the interested par-
ties and they have agreed to accept
$20.00 in full payment of any and all
clauns they have against the City or

102 Special Session, f~pril 21st, 1941.
April 19, 1941.
IIIr. A. A. Rhomberg, and
Members of the City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen
I herewith submit the attached t-e-
port on Paul and J. B. Megonigle the
holders of Class B permit No. 50, op-
erating at 378 plain Street, Dubuque,
Iowa. Class B Permit No. 50 was is-
sued to the above named persons on
July 1, 1940. An investigation con-
cerning the operation of this estab-
lishment since permit was last issued
has been made and is included in this
report, together with my findings re-
garding the character of the permit
holders.
Numerous complaints have been
made concerning the manner in which
this tavern was being operated, prin-
cipal of which was the liquor nuisance
maintained on Sundays. An investi-
gation revealed that the complaints
were well founded, and that many of
the clientele were of questionable char-
acter insofar as two complaints being
made by persons claiming to have
been relieved of their money while in
the place-one while asleep and in an
iutolicated condition and another
while unconscious after being knocked
out during an argument over a card
game.
:1lso on December 8, 1941, two shop-
lifters were arrested who said they
solri the stolen property to this tavern.
Part of the stolen property was recov-
ered from the back bar of this tavern
where it vas displayed for sale and
part from the person of the bartender.
1\'Ir. Paul Megonigle was reprimand-
ed on several occasions because of
these conditions and about his place
of business, He always promised he
~~rould correct the condition, bttt failed
to do so.
On Sunday, March 30, 19=11, a de-
tail of officers were sent to this place
instructed to pick up all evidences of
liquor present. A quart bottle of liq-
our y-as found in the place together
with three drinks taken off the bar and
from in front of persons at the bar.
it-f r. Paul Megonigle and his bar-
tender, Verne Shekleton, were arrest-
ed and charged with having liquor on
the premises of beer permit holder. In
Police Court on April 18, 1941, the}*
were found guilty of said violation and
fined $50.00 each. They have appeal-
ed their cases to the District Court.
The investigation further revealed
that one of the partners, J. B. Megoni-
gle, no longer lives in Dubuque, that
he now lives in Waterloo, Iowa, where
he is employed. Paul Megonigle, I
understand, also has other employment
in the city. The place is or was oper-
ated by Verne Shekleton as a bartend-
er and one Joe Houselog has been re-
ported to operate a card game in the
rear of the building.
Because of the disorderly conduct
of Paul Megonigle in the operation of
his Class "B" Tavern and of the above
cited violaters of law, I hereby recom-
mend that the City Council proceed
under the provisions provided by law
and that Class "B" Permit No. 50 is-
sued to Paul and J. B. Megonigle, 378
Illain Street, Dubuque, Iowa, on July
1, 1940, be revoked forthwith.
Respectfully submitted,
JOS. H. STRUB,
Chief of Police.

recommendation of Chief of Police
Strub be approved and placed on file.

that when the customer's load includes
hoists, elevators, welding machines,
and/or other apparatus where the use
of electricity is intermittent or subject

that the indicated or recorded demand
for a fifteen (15) minutes interval ex-
ceeds the maximum recorded ot• indi-
cated demand during a thirty (30}
minute interval by an amount in ex-
cess of fifty per cent (50°fo), then the
customer's billing demand shall be de-
termined by using the average of the
three (3) highest fifteen (15) minute
intervals indicated or recorded during

power (or h.p. equivalent) by sixty pe.
cent (60%). Any major fraction o
a kilowatt of demand so determines
shall be considered one whole lcilowat
of additional demand.
Power Factor:
If the power factor of any Gusto
mer's load is found by test to be be
low eighty per cent (80%) lagging un
der normal operating conditions, anc
upon written notification thereof, the
customer fails to correct the power
factor jvithin sixty (60) days, the per-
son, firm or corporation supplying elec-
tricity will then increase the demand
used for billing purposes by the vatic
of 0.80 to the pov~=er factor as deter-
mined by test.

April 29, 1941,
In re: Claim of Mary Cholvin
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
With reference to the case of Niary
Cholvin vs. the City of Dubuque, now
pending in the District Court of Du-
buque County, Iowa, she claims in her
amended and substantial Petition that
on or about April 30, 1940, while she
w•as walking along Ninth Street west-
erly on the sidewalk on the northerly
side of said street at a point where the
sidewalk intersects the alley, she trip-
ped and fell off the edge of said side-
walk where the same intersects the
easterly side of said alley, that the
curbing along the alley where she
tripped and fell became ragged, worn,
uneven and the edges thereof were
rough, knocked off in places with a
depression or opening between the end
of said sidewalk and said curbing, and
that her fall was caused by the con-
dition of the sidewalk and curbing; that
a result of said fall her hip was broken,
she was taken to the hospital, has
since been confined to her bed under
the constant care of a doctor; that she
has suffered excruciating pain and ag-
ony and has been and is rendered to-
tally helpless and unable to walk; that
the length of time it will require that
she be confined to her bed under the
doctor's care is uncertain and cannot
at this time be estimated. That she
will continue to suffer pain and agony
and will continue to require the serv-
ices of a physician. That the hospital
expenses were $682.50, medical care
to date $438.50, ambulance charges
$15.00, X-ray charges $82.50, drugs and
medicine expenses $22.50, a total of
$1,241.06 actual expenses. That in ad-
dition thereto she is sueing for $12,-
000.00 permanent injuries, pain and suf-
fering, making a total of $13,241.06.
That I have investigated this mat-
ter quite thoroughly and am of the
opinion that the question of the negli-
gence of the City, while close, perhaps
is a jury question, and that, in the
event the action is submitted to the
jury, that a substantial recovery would
113
be permitted to stand. After a thor-
ough investigation and consultation
with her attorney they have agreed to
accept $2,669.00 m settlement of this
case.
I recommend that Mary Cholvin be
allowed $2,669.00 in full payment of
her claim and that a warrant be issued
payable to iVlary Cholvin and W. A.
Smith, her attorney, in the sum of
$2,669.00, and that the same be deliver-
ed to IVlary Cholvin and W. A. Smith,
her attorney, upon the execution and
delivery by Mary Cholvin of a proper
release to the City of Dubuque, and
a written dismissal of her action with
prejudice.
This defective condition of the curb-
ing and sidewalk in this location should
be remedied.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. KINTING~R,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Wharton moved that the
recommendation of City Solicitor Kint-
zinger be approved and that the City
Auditor be instructed to draw a war-
rant in the amount of $2,669.00 in fa-
vor of Mary Cholvin and W. A. Smith,
her attorney, as settlement in full of
the claim, and that said warrant be
delivered upon the execution and de-
livery by Mary Cholvin of a proper
release to the City of Dubuque and a
written dismissal of her action with
prejudice. Seconded by Councilman
Murphy. Carried by the following
vote: Yeas-Mayor Van Duelman,
Councilmen Murphy, Thompson,
ZVharton. Nays-None. Councilman
Schueller not voting.
