Bischoff, which requested that the property at 724.728 Lincoln Avenue be rezoned from "Two Family Resi- dence" to ~a "Local Business Dis- trict:' At our meeting on February 16th th6 communication came befor0 ua and after considerable discussion the request was turned down for the following reasons: 1. Lincoln Avenue is one of the fine residential streets. of the city. 2• There are but few encreach- ments of business on Lincoln Avenue, which business existed prior to the passage of the Zon- ing ordinance• 3. Rhomberg Avenue is the logical business district street and 'bas developed as such and is only one black south east of Lincoln Avenue. 4. Rhomberg Avenuo is now de• veloped and is continuing to de- velop for business purposes. 5. Lincoln Avenue is not now, or ever has been, considered by the Commission for any other use than residential. 6. Those business occupancies which exist on Lincoln Avenue now and which did exist prior to the Zoning ordinance have ali the rights to continue as such as long as the business: ~ uses are not discontinued. Regular Session, March 1st; 1931 7. The applicant is now using his property far business purposes• and has the continued right to do sc as long as his business is not discontinued far a reason• able length of time as provided for in the Zoning ordinance. 8. As long as the applicant is in business the Commission does not see fit to disturb the residen• tial setting further. 9. The request for change is based ~ on the applicant's desire to rent his property for a tavern, which, under state law, is requirsd to be in a business district. 10. Tho Zoning ordinance was en- acted prior to the state beer law. The applicant should at• tempt to have the state beer law amended to permit taverns to operate in business buildings now used for business, regard• less of district. il. The Commission does not be- lieve they have any liability in this matter to assist the appli- cant from his distress because of the above facts. We hope your honorable body will accede to the plans of the Commis- sion. Yours very truly, R. V. McKAY, Secretary.

No election is required but would be if there was a direct obligation in• tarred as stated in Section 6239.1 of the Code. You have a waterworks which is creating a sicking fund for debt re- tirement, We suggest that Swim- ming Pool revenue bonds be issued and purchased by the Waterworks as an investment which will keep al] interest payments within the city government, Very truly yours, C.

March 29, 1937 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen; At the regular Council meeting held on February 1, 1937, a petition from Mr. A. J. Mihm. of the Mettel Realty & Investment Company was submitted to and referred to the 9I Council to view the same. The re- quest was for permission to have erected a 3•foot wide iron set of steps from the 2nd floor to the south sidewalk of 29th Street at the brick store building at 2890 Central Ave. On Saturday afternoon, March 27th, the City Council viewed this building, located at the southeast corner of Central Avenue and 29th Street. The south edge of the side- walk on 29th Street is approximately 3 feet away from the outside line of the north two story building wall. It was determined and authorized by the City Council on March 27, 1937, that this 3-foot wide iron set of steps could be placed along the north wall of this building, but if any pottion of the steps were to extend over the present brick sidewalk, that said brick sidewalk must be extended uorthwardly toward the curb line to provide the present width of the said sidewalk. Any necessary change in the sidewalk shall be done at the cost of the otaners of the building. The present 600 C.P. street light at Central Avenue and 29th Street inter- section will be less than 60 feet from the foot of this new set of outside steps. Accordingly, this petition was ap- proved. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager, Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed. Seconded by Council- man Schiltz, Carried by the follow- ing vote; Yeas-Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays-None. March 29, 1937. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The appeal from Mr. T. J. O'Don- nell, et a1, submitted to the City Council on January 26, 1937, for a new street light to be installed at the intersection of Windsor Avenue and Providence Street, was referred to the Council for a view. On March 27th the members of the City Coun- cil investigated the present condi• tions of this request. On Windsor Avenue there are two present 600 C.P, street lights at the intersections of East 22nd Street and Lincoln Avenue. The approxi- mate distance between these two present lights is only 450 feet. The center line of Providence Street is less than 100 feet south of the center line of East 22nd Street. Accord- ingly, if a new street light were in- 92 Special Session, March 29th, 1937 stalled at Providence Street and Windsor Avenue, this new light would be about 100 feet from the light at 22nd Street and only about 350 feet from the light at Lincoln Avenue, The decision of the City Council on March 27th was that no extra light was to be installed at Windsor Avenue and Providence Street inter- section, Respectfully submitted, R. M, EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Cha]mers moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed. Seconded by Council- man Schiltz.

Gentlemen; A request was filed with the City Council on January 15, 1937, by Mr. A, J. Meyers, et al, for a new street light to be installed in the 1800 block of Custer Street between Au- but•n and North Algona Streets, The Council determined to view this :area. On lYlarch 27th the Council viewed Custer Street. It was determined 'that only two homes were at present erected on Custer Street between lots facing Auburn and North Algona Streets. The home on the south side of Custer Street is Uenefitted by the street light at West 14th and North Algona. The street light installed nn a concrete boulevard post at Cus- ter and Aubut•n Streets, within a small center street park area, does not properly light the entire portion of Custer Stt•eet west of Auburn Street, but Custer Street in the 1800 block is only approximately 310 feet in length, The decision by the Council was that no new street light could be authorized to be installed in this short area of Custer Street. Respectfully submitted, R. M, EVAN5, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that the decision of the City Council be con• firmed.

H. Richards, et al, for the follow- ing conditions: (1) That Abbott Stt•eet be ex• tended from Lowell Street south to Seminary St.; (2) That Lowell Street and Woodworth Streets be not blocked for coasting; (3) That said three streets be cindered during icy weather, These three conditions were refer- red to the City Council to view the grounds. On Saturday afternoon, March 27, the Council members did view these three locations, Advice was sub• witted that both Lowell and Wpod- worth Streets had not been closed, or blocked, this winter for coasting. Cindering had been done when icy conditions prevailed on these two streets. Ou Lowell Street, west of Wood• worth Street, the Council viewed the recent break in the water main which flooded Lowell Street and washed out the ground over the storm sewer. Lowell Street is to be repaired as quickly as passible. In regard, to the first appeal to open and extend Abbott Street, south from Lowell Street to Seminary Street, the Council also considered this proposition. At present Abbott Street is listed on the city maps as being open nearly 200 feet south of Lowell Street, or to the top of the hill. However, all property south of the end of Lowell Street from Globe Street towa~•d Seminary Street is privately owned, Portions of Lots 29 and Sub. 2 and 4 would have to be purchased by the Cfty in length of nearly 260 feet to extend Abbott Street from Globe Street to Semin• ary Street. The decision of the City Council on March 27th was that it was not necessary to extend Abbott Street to Seminary Street, Accordingly, the first of the three outlined ap- peals was not approved. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the decision of the City Council be con• firmed, Seconded by Councilman Bennett. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays-None. Special Session, March 29th, 1937, 114arch 29, 1937 To the Honorable R4ayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On January 4, 1937, recommenda- tions were submitted to the City Council by the Sanitary Inspector, Firo Chief and Building Commis- sioner to condemn an old barn ]ocated at the rear of Lot 268 Davis Farm Addition, in rear of 2608 Cen• tral Avenue, owned by Anna Long. These separate recommendations were on the basis of many appeals from citizens objecting to this very bad condition of the barn located just west of White Street. On Saturday afternoon, March 27, 1937, the City Council viewed said barn, investigated the general con- ditions and determined to submit this building to the group of three local investigators for recommenda- tions as to their decision to abandon this old frame, dilapidated and dan• gerous building. Further decision by the Council was that the group of three local investigators should be appointed and that their decisions and recom- mendations be submitted quickly to the Council on this one question and approximately 15 other buildings viewed by the Council within the last few months. Respectfully submitted, R. 1VI. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed and that the City Manager be instructed to notify the owner of the barn of the decision of the City Council.

March 29, 1937 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen; The City Council viewed Bennett Street between Algona and McCor- mick Stt•eets on Saturday, March 27, 1937. A request had been made by Mrs. Elis, Scheckel, et al, that an extra street light be installed in the middle block of this street, as filed January 4, 1937. The Council investigated the pre• -sent twp 000 C.P, street lights at Algona and McCormick intersections of Bennett Street, No interference from these two lights is caused to 'the middle section of this block. The 93 total length of Bennett Street be- tween these. two lights is approxi- mately 750 feet. Due to the fact that many other street intersections at•e as far apart as this area, with no additional lights in the middle sec• lion, thereof, the final decision by the City Council oft March 27th was that no additional light could be authorized at this location, Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager, Councilman Kane moved that the decision of the City Council be con- firmed. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays-None, March 29, 1937 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Appeals had been made to the City ConnGil on December 21, 1936, and March 1, 1937, by Mr, Wm. V. Gill.

Lot 682, also delinquent special as- sessments due to March 31, 1936, The City of Dubuque has received the payment of special assessment principal due to March 31, 1936, also interest on the same and an addi- tional penalty-$100.96. The two appeals from Mr. Wm, V. Gill in• eluded the request to the Council to t•efund to him the penalty-$100,96, as paid in addition to the principal and interest, in order that he could still pay the additional 1-10 of prin- cipal and interest still dtte by March 31, 1937. He had to borrow this en- tire amount of cash to redeem his property. The 1-10 principal due within a few days will be $101,98, Accordingly, the Cournci] approved the authorization, as of March 27, 1937, for the refund of the penalty already paid-$100.96. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the City Council be .confirmed and that a warrant in the amount of $100.96 be ordered drawn on the Special Bonded Fund in favor of Wm. V. Gill tp cover the .amount of refund granted: Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

J. and Alberta Schneider of 880 Kirkwood Street to refund to them a penalty, equal to $18,26, as charged to them at the Court House when they paid the last 1.10 of the special assessment for Fund No. 567. This delinquent special assessment was authorized by the Council to be paid on the basis of delinquent prin• cipal only on October 5, 1936. Mr. Schneider was recently in• jured in a milk wagon accident. He needs the penalty to pay his extra costs incurred through phis injury. On 14larch 27th the City Council considered this question and author- ization was made by the Council to refund the penalty, equal to $18,26, to these two property owners, Respectfully submitted, R.
