Absent-Councilman Chalmers. Resolution No. 101-36 The untimely and tragic death of Senator Louis Murphy startled the nation. He wa.s sumxttoned to his eternal reward at a moment when ltis value as a statesman was begin- . ning to be realized, He was recog• nized among his associates in the Legislative Halls of Congress as a ,ntan of high intellectual attain- ments, of sterling .character and ability, possessing a deep under- standing of the complex problems affecting- the people of this country in all wants of life, and at al] times devoting his energies for their com- fort and relief.. As time passes, his efforts and accomplishments as a United States senator will be bet- ter understood and realized. The people of Dubuque knew Sen- ator Murphy from childhood. He teas born here. His life was lived here. He was intimately associated with all civic and public achieve- ments. His popularity was evi• dented by the unanimous support Which he received from all of our people at the' election of 1932, re• gardless of creed or. political affilia- tions. He rewarded the confidence reposed in him by faithful and cour- ageous service. While the- nation has lost a great and promising statesman,, and there has been removed from this com• munity a splendid citizen, there re. mains the consolation that his life has not been lived in vain and his name will remain indelibly engraved upon the tablets of memory pro- claiming him as a statesman, a man and an honorable citizen, which the passing of time will never cause to grow dim. The City Council, as the govern- ing body of the City of Dubuque and on behalf of all of its citizens, desires to give expression to the sorrow which has been caused by the death of Senator Murphy and to extend to his family the sympathy of all of the citizens of this com- munity. Be it, therefore, resolved by the City Council of the City of DubuquE that this tribute, weak and inex- pressive as it may be, be spread upon the public records of this Coun- cil and that a copy thereof be de- livered by the City Clerk, in person, to his widow and family. a~ Vii, ,~ lyl, I ~~ Ir, ~4 ~' ~` ~~4: ~~i l~ ~ a~ Ali ~I ~ • ,~I. ~~, ~, ,' 'ICI ii ,R ril'i 1 ~~. ~I ~i I~~ IH~;~! ~IIIL1 ~' ~~~i~ ii" r'i'g .~ ii:rw . . •d '~ r,! r'x~a ,i "r~os; ,;, ,' ;; ?'~ ° `~•: t i 194 Regular Session, August 3rd, 1936 Passed, adopted and approved this 3rd day of August, 1936.

Gentlemen: In connection with the James F. Lee contract for pav- ing Bluff Street from West Third to West Eighth Streets, the City Council did extend this time of com- pletion from July 1st to July 31st. However the entire project was not completed by July 31st- A delay was caused to Aug. 5th, 1936. Accordingly, to provide this exten- sion for the PWA officials, it is re- quested that the City Council auth- orize now by motion one additional week more, or to Aug. 6th, 1936, for the Bluff Street Paving completion. While, as above stated, this pav- ing contract was finished on Aug. 5th, there is still a controversy be- tween Mi•. Lee, our City Engineer- ing Department and the local PWA officials. As yet it has not been pos- sible to determine the actual addi- tional costs of certain extra work on this jab. An attempt was made to get this question settled today, but dtte to Mr. Walter Cullen's moth- er's unfortunate death and her fun- eral this afternoon it was not pos• sible to make a definite- statement to the.Council for acceptance. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved to re- ceive and file the communication., Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

Gentlemen: At the last regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission it was decided to ask your honorable body to revise the Zoning Ordinance so as to permit the construction of Multiple Family Dwellings on Delhi Street between the Local Business District at Grandview Avenue and Delhi Street to Auburn Street. The description of the property in the two Family Residence District which must be rezoned to "Multiple Family Residence District" is as fol- lows: all of lots 7 to 18, inclusive, and that portion of 19 (now Two Family Residence) in Reche's Sub.; that portion of Lot 1.1 (now Two Family Residence) and Lots 21, 2, 3, and Lot 2 of Sub. of 4 of 5 and 1-1-G a.nd 2.1.7, and 2 of 8, 9, 10, 11, Special Session, August 14th, 1936 197 and 12, all in Morheiser's Sub. and Lot 1 of Schwind's Homestead. Also on 24th Street between Cen- tral Avenue east to the Heavy In• dustrial District adjacent to Elm Street, it was decided to ask you to rezone to Business District, A petition was filed with the Planning and Zoning Conunission asking for certain lots on the street to be re- zoned, but because 24th Street has developed into such an important link of travel between the Linwood and Windsor Avenue section of the city and the north end section of the city it was thought good policy to t•ezone the lots abutting 24th Street to business use. The description of the property is as follows: rezone from Two Fam• ily Residence District to Business District the East 90 ft. of Lot 170, all of 20A,, and Lots 69 and 70 in L. H. La.ngworthy's Addition; Lots 1, 2, 11, and 12 iu New Jackson Sub.; Lots 1,. 2, 45, and 46 in Boulevard Addition; Lots 23 and 24 in 0. S. Langworthy's Sub.

August 12, 1936, To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Icwa. Gentlemen: On August 3rd a peti- tion signed by Mrs. G, V. N. Jaeger requesting the authority to erect and operate a rear wooden stairway on the city alley was referred by the Council to the City Manager for a report. This question was investigated by the Building Inspector and City Manager today. The location of the building is at the southwest corner of Main and West 5th Streets on part of City Lot 65. The build- ing is three stories in height and the rear of said building is at the east line of the 30 ft. wide alley west of Main Street. The width of this three story brick building is approximately 44 ft. At Present there is an open cel- lar-way on the alley at the reap of this building. Poles along the East side of this alley are approximately five ft. from the building, On May 13th, after an investiga- tion of this location by the Fire, Building and Health authorities of this city, a written report was suli- Special Session, mined to Mrs. Jaeger, as the agent for Ella Bassermann, owner, who lives in California. Copy of this report is attached hereto. In connection with the request to have authority to erect a wooden stairway from the third floor level, also including 1be second floor level and then to the alley, it is not in compliance with Iowa Housing Law. Stairways on the outside of a build• ing and fire escapes, as are require must be of fire-resistive materials, including iron or steel. In the past, certain limited wood- en stairways have been approved liy the' City Council, but these wooden constructions have only applied to one story. In case of a fire, a wood- en stairway to the third floor would be a serious hazard. The .State Fire Escape Law, as included in the 1935 Iowa Code, re- quites by: Section 1662-"Fire Es- capes fot• All Three Story Buildings" and Section 1664-B-"Outside Fire Escapes or Ladders" that same shall be of steel or wrought iron. Accordingly, we see no possible authorization from the City Council to approve a three story wooden fire escape stairway on a city alley. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS,, I City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the petition be denied. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz„ Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays-None. August 12, 1936, To the Honorable Mayot• and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In accordance with authority from the City Council, bids on separate hems for the Dubuque Swinmiing Poel were received, as advertised, on July 6th: Those blds were all based on the specifications and genet•al outline oP the pool as prepared by the architect, Mr. C. h Krajewski. Approximately 17 certi- fied chicks were received and in the statement to bidders we agreed not to hold the checks over 45 days if no award was made on any equip- ment, After discussing these various bids with the W, P. A. officials, it now seems that definite changes must be made on practically all specifications in order to keep with- in the $60,000.00 limit. Inasmuch as quite a few of the vatiotts outlined portions of the bids will now be fut•nished by the W. P. A, organization, it is the writer's suggestion that all of the bids, as received on July 6th, be cancelled and authorization be made by the lath, 1936 199 City Council to return the certified checks to each bidder.

Other 12 cylinder deferred balance -$8,705.00 Standardization is Recommended The National Board of Fire Un- derwriters recommend that each City Firo Department be supplied with pumping equipment from one company. Their criticism is based on the purchasing of a number of similar fire Pumps from diEereni companies. The aim is to have sev- eral pieces of apparatus from the same builder so that repair parts are interchangeable and a stock of i repair parts can he safely and am_ ply provided. The Underwriters al• I so advise the purchase of apparatus for fire service that fs built, as cony pletely as nessible, in the factory of the one firth selling the same. The experience of many Fire Depart- ments has been, that where assem• bled apparatus had been in service for several years, it became difficult to secure repair parts of the same where some of the manufacturers had gone ottt of business. Accord- ingly, it is advisablo to purchase fire equipment that is fully m~nu~ factored by one company, providing said company is responsible and well financed. Present Dubuque Equipment The present major City Fire Equipment includes: FROM AMERICAN LA FRANCE & FOAMITE INDUSTRIES, INC. 750 Csa.l, Pump, 22 years old, at . Grandview Avenue Station. 1000 Gal, Pttmp, 14 years old, at Delhi Street Station. 1000 Gal. Pump, 12 years oldr at Ninth Street Station. 75 Ft. Aerial Ladder Truck, 20 years old, at Ninth Street Station. FRO11I AHRENS-FOX CO. 750 Gal. Putup, 19 years old, at Rhomberg Avenue Station. 1D00 Gal. Pump, 11 years old, at 18th Street Station., FROM MALI{ TRUCK CO. . r One City Service Ladder Truck, nine years old, at Ninth Street Sta- tion. These three companies, that have built and furnished our present equipment, still furnish all neces- sary repair parts for the same up- on orders and payments from the City. Accordingly, from the recommend- ations of the National Boat•d of Fire Underwriters and also from the lo- cal experience of our operators and mechanics, it would seem that stan- dardization of fire equipment is es- sential. Conclusion Due to the fact that the Ameri- can La France Company now has four pieces of fire equipment in our department, that even the oldest 22 year pump is still in regular ser- vice,, that this company has sold more fire apparatus for many years than all combined competitors, it is the reconmtendation that this award be made to this company. Both the six and twelve cylinder Ameri- can La France modern major ap- paratus is now fully built in their factory. The price as offered for the six cylinder machine is a total of $12,500.00, while the more mod- ern 12 cylinder machine price total is $13,675.00, or only $1,175.00 more. The 12 cylinder motor and pump, as manufactured by this com- pany, has given satisfactory service for over five years. The additional water capacity in the 12 cylinder machino varies from 25% to 50% over the maximum six cylinder ca- pacity. Waterloo purchased a new 12 cylinder American La France en- gine in 193G, after a complete in• vestigation of other standard maltes. There are now in operation in larg- er and smaller cities, than Doboque, over 400 additional 12 cylinder pumps as made by the the American La France Co. In addition to this statement of prices, H.

Gentlemen: Tn connection with the discussion an August 14t1r from Mr. F. D. Gilloon, Attorney, in re• Bard to a proposed 5-Year Lease of the Airport to the Dubuque Airways, Incorporated, please be advised as follows: ~i i ~~`~ li i, i i, I~' ~I it 'h `~ jell' ~; ih ,7, im ,~ i, ~. ~, ij P;,' a I~ `' I~ ~ i~~~l 1. it ' I . h „,~;~. ~~~ ~;. ~li! . ~~ hl I' !~i, ii ~I'I ~I j'I',y~,',;, lilll'' } j~b r~~!i,,~ I,~ i ~hii • ~~ r, ;+ '~ ,~ ,~ 204 Special Session, August 21st, 1936 Attached are: 1) A proposal from Mr. F. D. Gil- loon, dated August 15th, 1936. 2), A letter from the Chamber of Commerce Airport Committee, dated August 19th, 1936. 3) Recommendations, in addition, from the City Manager. 3. Recommendations from City Manager. In the study of 1-a, page 1, of Mr. Gilloon's letter, of August 19th, the following is suggested: Quoting: "All planes, no matter by whom owned m' operated, shall at all times have the privilege, without charge, of landing on parking and taking off from the airfield;" The word underscored, °on," is a question. Apparently this w o r d should be eliminated. All planes, etc., shall have privilege, etc., of landing, Parking and taking off, etc., is the meaning of this outline. In the second sentence of 1=a, quot- ing: "Providing further, that nothing herein shall prevent planes operat- ing from bases outside the City of Dubuque from discharging passen- gers destined to Dubuque and taking on passengers destined for points outside of Dubuque," a very appar- ent omission is made. We are now desirous of securing out-of-city planes that will daily provide far de- livery of mail and certain materials into and from Dubuque, in both North-South and East-West direc- tions. hr the above quoted sentence the delivery of "passengers" should also include additional "mail and materials." In Item 2 on page 1 of Mr. Gil- loou's proposed lease the city appro- priation of $300.00, as mentioned, is apparently to provide assistance in winter periods for the licensed pilot. This spring Mr. Tegeler, president of the Dubuque Airways, Incorporated, made a request to the Council to con- sider acontribution from the City of $10.00 per week, For six months, in the winter periods, to assist fin- ancing the pilot when practically no flying service would be .performed, but when occasionally a plane might laud and a pilot should be available in entire daytime. A tentative ap• proval by the Council was made to provide for this assistance. The to- tal sum from October 1 to March 31, equal to 26 weeks, would be $260.00, not $300.00. The City total Airport fund levy for 1935-6 is $660.00. The 1936 levy Yor next year is also $660.00. Pres- ent costs at the Airport include year ly Fire Insurance, $3,000.00, in the Hangar, casting $126.60 per year; yearly Liability Insurance $50,000.00 maximum, on the Airport, costing $68.00 per year; montlily telephone service, equal to approximately $5.00 per month, or $60.00 per year; and grass and weed cutting will likely cost $100.00 or more per season. If the $260.00 is authorized by the Council for the contribution to the airport pilot, then the remaining bal- ance, equal to approximately only $45.00, will have to provide for scrap- ing, rolling and repairing the run- ways, etc. An amount of $300.00 is not yet available for any pilot contribution. In Section 2, of page 2, of Mr. Gil- loon's outline of the conditions, it is also suggested that a definite sched- ule of rates and charges for the fel- lotiving service, including: (a) Storage of planes in the hangar. (b) Delivery of one, or more per• sons, on a single or return trip to any location beyond this City by a plane owned by the Dubuque Air• ways, Incorporated. (c) Any other service to be per- formed by the Dubuque Airways, Tn- corpm•ated, etc., should be included. Either these prices and rates, as to be charged by-the Dubuque Air- ways, Incorporated, should be stated in the '5•Year Contract; or after the contract is approved, the definite schedule of rates should be approved by the City Council and made pub- lic. These rates should be of a stan- dard basis and in comparison to charges made by other similar air- port operators in this section of the country. Another paint suggested for can- sider•ation by the City Council is that possibly next year, or later, a large aviation company may deter- mine to land daily on our Airpm•t. To accomplish this, we may have to agree to store a Plane free, for emergency, or Provide 'a place for a mechanic to be located far service, or other necessary provisions. It is suggested that if any such requests be presented that the Council and the Airway Corporation make every possible Provision to secure this im- portant service. Regular planes are now flying from 200 to 300 miles per hour. Many of our busy citizens de• sire such air way service from Dubuque. In the future, prior to the end of the 5•Year Contract, it will lflzely be necessary to make certain additional provisions between the City and the Corporation, in order to Properly operate the new project. The con- tract should provide for said addi- tional conditions, if necessary. Mr. Dudley Withers, of the Bureau of Air Commerce, 1318 South Alich• igan Avenue, Chicago, was here last Special Session, August 21st, 1936 205 Friday. He advised that at present his opinion was that no airport lights vvere necessary. He further stated that lights should be but a few in- ches above the level of the ground; and that due to our own flooding condition that lights and under- ground wiring for the lights would be damaged by any 14-foot flood stage. He further stated that no posts could be installed to Provide the location of lights 'above the maximum flood stage. We still be- lieve that wiring far lights can be provided by use of water-proof cable on this location. Another question discussed with Mr. Withers was in regard to many local complaints from citizens, where planes were flying over the city on a too low basis for Safety. Mr. With- ers advised that a definite provision should be made by ordinance, or ]ease, that planes flying over the business and residence sections of the City should be at least 2,000 feet above the roof of nay building. Planes starting to fly from the air•• port Should head north, or south, and gain the proper heighth, prior to flying over the thickly settled city areas. In case a plane is 2,000 feet above a roof and the engine should fail, or stop, this 2,000•foot heighth will provide a possible reserve to safely glide the plane and finally land it at the airport without use of the motor. Accordingly, it is suggested that in either the lease, or an ordinance, that all places should be prohibited from flying from om' airport to areas in our business, industrial and resi- dence districts until the minimum of 2,000 foot heighth, above our high- est roofs, has been reached. Another paint should be provided, possibly, by a City Ordinance is the requirement of obstruction lights in all high smoke stacles, highline tow- ers and other hazardous obstruc- tions. It is suggested that a contract, Basel on the determined conditions by the Council, should be made with the Dubuque Airways, Incorporated. Their cooperation should definitely make our flying conditions more ben• eficial. Officials of this corporation have been interested and active in flying for many years. The fact that this corporation will provide for air-' plane service, if granted a 5-year ]ease, should benefit our city. In case a bond ~rrere filed by the Corporation, guaranteeing to comply with all conditions of the contract, it might require considerable time to eliminate any provisions that were not entirely agreed upon. On the other hand, if the entire agree• went were not compiled with by the Cm•paration, the Council could quick- ly correct any defects by cancelling the contract. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved to refer the communication of City Manager Evans to the City Council to meet at the earliest possible date. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz.

Car- ried by ,the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett,. Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays-None. August 21st, 1936. Honorable•Mayor and City Council, Dubttgtte, Iowa. Gentlemen: On August 14th, 1936, there was presented to the City Cotmcil, a requeat from Mr., Carl C. Krakow to reduce the assessment on his property, including lots 29 and one half of lot 30 of Finley Home Addition, located on West 3rd Street, south of Finlay Hospital. As basis of request was due to objections in regard'to the pastur- ing of sheep, the burning of ashes and the odot•s, etc., from the Fin- ley Hospital, this question was re- ferred to the City Manager for an investigation and report. In regard to the keeping of sheep within the city, it is quoted from Article 2-Section 4 of the Dubuquo Zoning Ordinance: "The keeping of sheep, rabbits, goats, or cattle is prohibited except on premises con- taining over one acre, and except tivithin an inclosure distance of at least fifty feet from any side lot lice or ahy street line Mr. Fred Lattner, of Finley Hos- pital, was contacted in regard to this question and it is known iu the past that the sheep were practically graz- ing and standing on the entire pro- perty within but a few feet from the alley north of Mr. Cat•1 C. Krar kow's lot. Now Mr. Lattner has been advised and has agreed to move this fence at least fifty feet not•th of the north side of this alley. The Finley Hos- pital property contains approximate- ly four acres of land, and in ac- cordance with the ot•dinauce they are entitled to use sheep in any case where property used for graz- ing is over- one acre. Mr. Lattner advised that it is necessary to keep the sheep at or near the hospital as they are used for laboratory pur- poses. In regard to the other complaints, it has been determined that the manure from the sheep is now to be collected at least twice a week, and the manure is to be stored in a can, and spread on the garden of the hospital. The hospital officials have now agreed to use shavings or straw in the barn for bedding of the sheep. This will also be changed often and will not become dirty. No rags or cotton are to be burned in the open, and we ate advised that in the recent periods, at least, all such materials have been disposed . of in the incinerator located south of the hospital. In regard to the serious complaint of the burning of cinders on the hos• pital land,, we have discovered that this summer and in past periods, for weeks at a time, these cinders have been burning and smoking. We have advised Mr. Lattner that if the cinders are burning at any time, the officials of the hospital are to elim- inate the fire, or they are to call the City Fire Department or they are to provide chemicals to prohibit burning in accordance with the agreements that have been now pro- vided, for tho betterment of the com- plaints of the people living on West 3rd Street. It world now seem that very little interference would result in the using of the West 3rd St. properties. In case the present outline of changes- and improvements a.re not efficient and satisfactory, 1ve shall have to contact the Finley Hospital officials for even greater coopera- tion. Respectfully snlimitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. that Councihuan Chalmers moved the communication of City Manager Evans be received and filed. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz.

Gentlemen: A test has been made as to the dumping of dead auimals, chicken feathers, and other refuse that creates odors at the area west of the East 4th St. Bal] Park. Cer- tain organizations of the City were advised and stopped front damping ~ any odorous materials there now and in the future. The City is still dumping the reg- ular ash and can service, on certain days of the week, at this location. We shall always attempt to prevent Special Session, tlugust 21st, 1936 Zpy odors. The reasons for City use of this area for out- dumping is to fill up the area west of the ball park to protect the bleachers and due to the fact that this area is closer to our heavy section of rubbish col- lection'and this location saves costs of hauling a mile or more in farther directions. The Health Department Inspector is instructed to eliminate any odors at this site. Respectfully submitted,, R. M, EVANS, City Manager.
