This letter was con- sidered by Council March 21st and was referred to the Council to' view the site, Following the special meeting Thursday, March 28th, four members of the City Council, excluding Mayor Kane, viewed the situ at 2nd Street east of Iowa and in consideration of the elimination of the present drain- age difficulties and the need far pro- viding for a loading platform for the large industrial building at this site and duo to the non-use of the pres- ent wide width of the street paving, the Council agreed to permit the street to be narrowed approximately 10 feet. This work is to be done under relief appropriations and the. owner of the building is to provide j for all costs of widening and raising the sidewalk space from the curb to the property line. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager, Councilman Schiltz moved that the decision of the City Council be approved, Seconded by Councilman Jaeger.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Towa, Gentlemen; In connection with the instructions from the City Coun- cil to the writer to investigate the possibilities of securing for the citi- zens on Central Avenue possible full service in the present blanked street lights, please be advised as follows; At 3:00 P. M, today Mr. Chas. Dove of the Interstate Power Com- pany finally agreed to a reduction in all street lights that will permit ,practically all the blanked lights, now shut off, to be again turned on, on the condition that all boulevard lights, except on earners, shall con- tinue to be shut off at 11:00 P. M. and further on condition that all- night lights will continuo to be on the b~asia of 15 minutes per day leas than the 4000 hour yearly period. The 1935-36 budget set-up for the appropriations to be paid to the Interstate Power Company includes $57,800.00. The approximate cost of street lights today, at the prevailing rates, is $57,390.00. If all the blank- ed lights were turned on at the pres• ent rate agreed early in 1933, the additional cost would have been $2,130.00, or making the cost before this reduction for al] lights to be turned on, including the lights in the middle of the block, equivalent to $59,520.00, At Mr. Dove's agreed to- tal cost today, the cost to the City for next year for all lights, condi- tioned on the boulevard lights in the middle of the block being shut off at 11:00 P, M, and also the 15-minute daily reduction on al] other lights, will be $57,998, or a reduction of approximately $1,522,00 on the pres- ent rates, In order to provide for this Cen- tral Avenue condition and all other places in the City where boulevard lights are shut off, it will be neces- sary to transfer from the Allowance for Reserve, which totals $1,544.00, the sum of $200,00 for present erect- ed lights. It is also my recommen- dation that an additional $400.00 be transferred to take care of five lights that we have petitions for at present and also a few others that Session, may be necessary within the next year. In other wards, by an addi- tional $000.00 from the Allowance far Reserve, $200.00 of this will be sufficient, under the new rates, to relight all blanked lights and the $400.00 additional is for emergency and new considerations by the Council, Respectfully submitted, , R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved and the transfer authorized. Seconded by Councilman Roberts, Carried by the following vote; Yeas -Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz, Nays-None. Communication of J. W.

It would seem that a complste annual report would now be desired by the City Coun- cil for the year 1934 and that the Key City Gas Company should be also advised in connection with the decision regarding power rates that a semi-annual report should be made, In other words, if the 1934 report were made, the next report should be at the end of June, 1935.

On April 3rd the Council viewed this location and no decision was made because of the fact that the exact extent of the improvement was not specified. By phone today Mr, Reynolds re• quests that the alley be stoned or made passable at all times of the year about 200 feet from Fremont Avenue or to the rear of the gar- ages and stables on both sides of this alley. He did not request that the private drive over the vacant lot west of the garages to a single house on St. Joseph Street be in• eluded. Accordingly, if so desired and authorized by the Council, we can grade slightly and stone by relief labor, the portion of the alley start- ing at Fremont Avenue and extend- ing westwardly to the end of the garages.

Flynn, requesting the right to install on the sand filled Lot 30 south of Railroad Street and east of Route No, 61, a billboard of ap- proximately 15 feet length, was pre• sented. Later Mr. Flynn advised the City Manager that he desired to use tho available space south of the first billboard closest to Rai]• road Avenue. ' The City Council viewed this lo• cation April 3rd and raised the ques• tion as to what price the other us• ere of billboards on this lot were paying per year. Upon investigation today, it is found that since Decem• ber 10, 1923, permission was granted by the City Council to permit Mr. Louis Murphy, by a verbal agree~ went made with Mr. Carr and auth• orized by the City Council, to erect up to 10 billboards on this location conditioned that there would be no rental for any period, based on the agreement that he would include on one billboard, statements offering new subdivision sites far sale to the public. This last condition has been done and several of Mr, Murphy's billboards have been torn down or blown down. Accordingly, it seems that no revenue is received from any of the three present billboards on this lot. Mr. Flynn of4ered $10.00 per year fora billboard of approximately 16 Paot length. The present rates charged to Mr. Molo far the large billboard on South Locust Street is $20.00 per year. The ,Julien Hotel aleo pays $20.00 per year for a large sign on East Fourth Street. Other charges through the City for the smaller type billboard of approxi- mately 16 feet are $10.00 per year. Accordingly, it would seem that if Council desired, authority could be granted to Mr. Flynn for the erection of a small bilboard at the location he desires, for $10.00 per year, Yours very truly; R. M, EVANS; City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the recommemdation of City Manager Evans be approved.

Gentlemen: This is to advise that Mr, Syl, McCauley, Director of Re- creation, is planning to carry on the night use of the Municipal Athletic Field for local night baseball games under the auspices of the Dubuque City League as has been done for the last two years. The agreement established in 1933 by the City Council was that for each night's use of the Athletic Field for baseball games a fee of $15.00 shall be collected and that the particular team or organization us- ing the Ball Park for each night shall pay the entire cast of the elec• trio current for night ]amps, In the past no trouble has been involved in collecting the $15.00 fee per night for the use of the Athletic Field by the local City League, of which Mr, Wm. Fitzpatrick is Treas- urer. It is suggested, however, from now on that organizations using the Municipal Athletic Field for night baseball games which are under the control of the Recreational Director, shall pay the $15.00 per game fee in advance prior to the night of the game. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the report of City 114anager Evans be approved. Seconded by Council- man Jaeger.

Gentlemen: In connection with the request from the Chamber of Commerce, dated April 13th, toward the consideration of abandoning the dumping of rubbish on the city owned property west of the Ball Park on 4th Street, please be ad- vised that we have made an investi- gation of this situation and find from information from industries and ho• tell in this section that the smoke and the blowing of papers and the odors from this dump are very ob• jectionable, especially in Summer- time. From another angle, as you prob• ably all know, the smoke and odors from this area while baseball games or other recreational activities are held at the Ball Park causes object lion from many of the persons at• tending these games, We have considered the diversion of the dumping from this area, es- pecially in the Summertime and have chosen three sites, one in the south and of the city, one near 16th Street and the filling of Dock Street east of the railroad tracks toward the Airport. If our plans can be pro- perly carried through, the city can stop the dumping on this land just went of the Bal] Parlt, ~at least this Summer. Another question to be considered is the possible request to Farley & Loetscher Mfg. Ca., who own prop- erty west of the area being filled near the Ball Park. Possibly they would also consent tc prohibit Sum- mer dumping on this land, especially if in the Winter time we would con- centrate and help fill in this low portion of the area. Respectfully submitted, R, M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved, Seconded by Councilman Jaeger.
