To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen;
For your consideration please find
attached .my reports on Dubuque
tt•affic accidents and fire losses dur•
ing the 1935 year a.nd also certain
other similar yearly comparisons- An
outline is also included of yearly
traffic arrests and convictions.
There is also attached a copy of a
letter sent to the National Board of
Fire Underwriters regarding: (al).
fire losses; (b) Fire Department in-
formation; (c) Water Department
finances, debts and accomplishments.
At the end of this letter there is a
request for consideration from the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
as to a reduction in the Dubuque rea-
ideutial fire insurance rates. It has
been my past practice to report, at
the end of each year, to the Under-
writers as to our results and accomp-
lishments. It is felt that every effort
should shortly be made' to secure a
reduced residential insurance rate in
1936.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager•

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa•
Gentlemen:
Upon release January 3, 1936, of
the traffic accident record of our city
for the year 1935, a visit to my office
was made by Messrs Paul Nauman
and Thomas J. O'Donnell, officials of
the Order of United Commercial
Travelers.
A statement was made by these
two Sentlemen that their national
and local organizations were inter-
ested in traffic safety results and
would now cooperate with the Du•
buque police and other citizens to
reduce accidents. They offered to
furnish a sign, to be installed by the
city, at the entrance of each of the
local Federal Highways, urging by
their organization to "DRIVE SAFE-
LY." Attached is picture of sign.
The width of this sign is approx•
imately 4 feet. No sign can be ereot-
ed on a sidewalk space, but it is be-
lieved that definite- locations can be
secured that will not interfere with
pedestrians.
If you will kindly grant the auth-
ority for this et•ection of these safety
signs, it may help our 1936 records.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Roberts moved that the
prayer of the petition be granted.

one showing existing conditions, and
one the proposed improvement. The

want to notify the Council they ap-
provo the permanent closing of 12th

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlomen:
At the January 7th meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Commission a
request was made to re-zone Lots
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, Schiltz's Sub.
on the west side of Nevada Street,
between Julien Avenue and Martha
Street. This request was approved
by the Commission and decision
was made to recommend to your
honol'able body that these lots be
re-zoned from "Single Residence Dis-
trict," to "Multiple Family Residence
District." A plat of the proposed re-
vision is attached,
Yout's very truly,
R. V. McKAY,
Secretary.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection wit h
youl• instructions to the writer to
contact Mr. Harl•y Schiltz to see
whether or not he would serve nn
the Board of Adjustments, please be
advised that this afternoon I finally
contacted him, explained the entire
situation as to activities, no compen-
sation, duties and power and he ad-
vised that he would be glad to ac-
cept the appointment if made by the
Council.
Mr. Schiltz will succeed your for-
mer appointee, Mr. A. P. Abeln, who
died last fall. Mr. Abeln was ap-
pointed, as with the other four mem-
bers, on March 5, 1934, Mr. Abeln's
term originally was for one year
10 , Special Session, J
which expired March 5, 1935. On
July 1, 1935, Mr, Abeln was again
appointed for afive-year term, or
it
until March 5, 1940, According
would seem that Mr. Schiltz's 'ap-
pointment should be to the same
date of expiration, namely March 6,
1940. Mr, Schiltz advised also that,
6 if possible, ho would serve until this
time unless some position was avail-
able for him 'outside the city, in
which case he might have to resign.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager,
Councilman Jaeger moved that
Mr. Harry Schiltz be appointed as
a member of the Board of Adjnst-
'' ent to fill the unexpired term of
w
Mr. A, P. Abeln, deceased, said term

January zu, lasso.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
,
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On Wednesday, Jan-
nary 16th, Mr. W. H. Metcalf of the
iy Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Com•
f'' it pony and two experts of the same
P company came to Dubuque and
, made a study and an'alysia of our
new elevated steel water tank
project,
Tho original total price of the con-
I
tractor's bid was $57,726.00. How-
ever, a decreased price of $150,00,
' per foot, wad included in this pro-
posal for a possible reduction in the
length of all the steel columns. No
h
change 'is now p]'anned as to t
top of the tanlr heigbth, This top
section of the new tank is to be on
the same level as the top of the
higher, present standpipe. The pro-
posed change is now due to the sug-
Bested raising of the concrete foun-
dction five (5) feet higher than we
, originally planned. The concrete
; foundation in this particular con-
tractor's specifications will be at
least 9' 6" deep. By raising the en-
tiro foundation five feet, the bottom
~' 6 '
of the concrete will still be below
the level of the West Third Street
gutter. The top of the concrete
yy
foundation will now be above the
that
ground level of these lots so
ice and leaves will not cover
rain
,
the points where the steel columns
999 will rest on the concrete foundation,
This reduction in cost will b
$750.00.
Another Point seriously considere
by these tank experts was the thick
Hess of the plates of the 25' hig
section of the tank which is to hold
750,000 gallons of water. Their bi
1936
was based on a standard thickness
of steel as follows:
Top 7' 6" vertical section of steel
-1/,r" in thickness.
Next lower T 6" vertical section
of steel-~~" in thickness.
Lowest 10' 00" vertical and entire
bottom section-a/a" in thickness,
On last Wednesday these experts
studied our water hardness, etc„ and
stated that the thickness of steel,
as in their original bid, would likely
last for 20 years. The question was
then discussed as to an increase of
thickness of at least 1/s" of all the
plates of the tank, They first stated
that an increase of'1/a" for all ver-
tical and bottom tank plates would
likely cost from $4,000 to $5,000
more. However, 'after a long discus•
sion and their contacting their rec•
orris, a final tentative agreement
vas made to increase the above
mentioned three thicknesses of the
vertical steel plates and the bottom
of the tank plates each by ~/a" more
than stated in their bid, for a total
increase in price of $1,500.00. This
increase is based on no profit, but
as to actual cost of steel and extra
freight. It was also stated that by
increasing this entire tank plate
thickness by s/a"~ that the life of the
taulr would likely be increased by
at least 100%• A letter was received
.today confirming these two changes
in total cost.
After our .determination as to the
changes in prices, including one re•
duction of $750.00 and one increase
of $1,500.00, making a net increase
of $750.00, we wrote to Mr. P. F.
Hopkins and advised him of the
recommendations and the tentative
agreement as to these changes. To•
day a letter was received by Mr•
Hopkins approving these two
changes which will increase the P.
W, A. 45% grant by $337.50. The
City' net total coat will also be in-
creased 55% of the $750.00, or
$412,50,
It is the recommendation of Mr.
John McEvoy and the writer that
these outlined two changes be offic-
ially approved by the City Council
so that an agreement can be imme•
diately made Nith the Pittsburgh•
Des Moines Steel Company and Mr,
Hopkins as to these changes. This
will greatly benefit the life of this
project, Attached is a Resolution
for your action, Copies of Mr. Hop-
kins' and Mr. Metcalf s letters are
e attached in case you desire to read
them,

Resolution No. 4-36
A Resolution authorizing the rais•
ing of the top elevation of the new
concrete foundation of the 750,000
gallon steel Water Tank five (5')
feet higher than originally planned
and increasing the entire thickness
of the vertical and bottom steel tank
plates by 1/a of an inch more than
'as outlined in the lower bid, which
was accepted and approved by the
Council on December 14, 1935.
Be It Resolved by the City Coun•
cil of the City of Dubuque, Dubuque
County, Iowa:
Section 1, That since the depth of
concrete foundation of the Pitts-
burgh-Des Moines Steel Co.mpany's
bid on the new elevated steel water
tank is outlined to be at least 9' 6"
deep; and
Whereas, this depth of the con-
crete tank foundation will be at or
below the level of the West Third
Street pavement by even raising the I
entire concrete foundation five (5')
feet higher than originally planned;
and
Whereas, a saving of $150.00 in
the steel columns can be secured by
raising concrete foundation, each
fdot, above the original planned
elevation; and
Whereas, by raising the entire
concrete foundation by a total of
five (5') feet, the bottom of the steel
columns will be above the ground
level where rain, ice and leaves will
not damage the steel base, if the
same were lower: Now, Therefore,
Be It Resolved that the City Coun-
cil agrees to authorize the raising
. of the top level of all the new water
tank concrete foundations five (5')
feet higher than originally planned.
A saving in total cost shall be, on
the basis of the bid of the contract-
or, at $150.00 per foot of decreasing
the length of the steel columns for
a total of five (5') feet, or a saving
of $750.00.
Sec. 2. That since the date of sub-
mission of bids for this elevated
steel water tank, a further analysis
by experts has been made by the
Pittsburgh-Des MO1neS Steel Com-
pany and their belief is that, due
tq the Dubuque extreme hardness of
water and in accordance with their
standard specified thiclrness of the
steel water tank plates, this tank
will last approximately twenty (20)
years; and
Whereas, the contractor has now
agreed to increase the thiclrness of
all vertical and bottom tank plates
by r/a of an inch more than as aub•
witted in the bid, for a total sum of
$1,500.00, which includes no extra
profit to the contractor; and
Whereas, said increase of 'k of an
inch in thickness in all vertical and
bottom plates of said elevated tank
will materially strengthen the entire
project and will likely double the
life of the tank: Now, Therefore,
Be It Resolved that the City Coun•
cil agrees to authorize the increase
of the thickness of the vertical and
bottom plates of this entire tank by
'/s of an inch more than specified
in the approved bid, Ear the total
additional cost of $1,500,00,
Sec. 3. Be It Further Resolved by
the City Council that the Water
Superintendent, City Glerk and the
City Manager of Dubuque be author-
ized to provide and execute an
'amendment to the original contract
for this water tank on the basis of
the two above mentioned changes at
a net increase in total cost of
$'x50.00; and further since this in•
crease in total cost has been sub-
mitted to the P, W. A, officials and
their tentative approval of an in-
crease iu the 45% grant of $750.00,
equal to $337.60 has been approved
by Mr. P. F: Hopkins as of January
18, 1936, that full information be
sent to Mr. P. F. Hoplrins for his
final approval and authorization.
Passed, adopted and approved this

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Today we have had a
discussion with Mr. W. J. Brown
who has furnished the City Treas-
urer's bond to Mr. Otto Puls for
several years. The original amount
of this bond was $50,000 and about
the year 1932 it was increased an-
other $25,000, making a total of the
two bonds covering the City Treas-
urer, of $75,000. Due to the fact that
this bond has been in existence far
a number of years, the present $5.00
rate per each thousand of the bond,
12 Special Session, Tanuary 23rd, 1936
was never charged to the City. In
other words, for at least three years
we have been paying only $300.00
far the $75,000 total of the bond.
According to the ne~v Legislative
Act of 1935 passed by the 46th Gen•
eral Assembly, listed as Chapter 59
on Page 79, it is required that the
bond of the City Treasurer shall be
in the sum of not to exceed $10,000.
According to the 1935 Code of Iowa,
it is stated in Chapter 287, includ-
ing Section 5654•G-1, "Bond Amount
-The bond of the City Treasurer
shall be in the sum of not to exceed
$10,000:'
Mr, Brown has requested that due
to the fact that it is a compulsory
requirement to reduce this Treas-
urer's band, that a resolution be
passed by the Council authorizing
said reduction. Kindly consider the
attached resolution.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M, EVANS,
City Manager.

Resolution No. 5-36
A Resolution by the City Council

reducing the City Treasurer's bond
from $75,000 to $10,000.
Whereas, by the action of the 46th
General Assembly of Iowa, as quoted
in Chapter 59, the bond of the City
Treasurer shall be in the sum of
not to exceed $10,000; and
Whereas, again in the 1935 Code
of the State of Iowa, in Chapter 287,
Section 5654-G•1, it is also stated
that the bond of the City Treasurer
shall be in the sum of not to exceed
$10,000: Now, Therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Council of
the City of Dubuque that the bond
of the City Treasurer be reduced to
the sum of $10,000.
