Ald. Crawford, chairman of the street
cornmittee reported as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen — Your cornmittee on
streets to which was referred the ques-
tion of a supply of macadam for the
use of the streets department respect-
fully reports that judging from the ex-
perience of past years the city will re-
quire at least from 12,000 to 15,000 yards
of macadam for the proper repair of
streets during the coming season. There
is now on hand belonging to the city
about 3,000 yards of which about 2,000
yards are in the Fifth ward.
As heretofore during the winter sea-
son there are quite a number of citi-
zens of the laboring class in poor cir-
cumstances in each of the several
wards who are out of work and badly
needing employment in order to be
able to procure the necessaries of life
for themselves and families.
If in the judgment of the council the
financial condition of the city will per-
mit, we would recommend that the
council authorize the breaking of a
quantity of macadam not exceeding
10,000 yards during January, February
and March of the present year, the
work to be strictly confined to actual
residents of Dubuque and heads of
families and such others as may have
th- support of families on their hands,
either wholly or in part and are in
need of employment.
In order that the work may be pro-
portioned fairly through the different
parts of the city, we recommend that
It be given only. on permits issued by
the street" corhznissioner on the written
recommendation of the aldermen repre-
senting the several wards; that the
permits shall specify in each case the
locality where the rock is to be broken
and that the street commissioner be
forbidden t measure or accept any
Macadam not of suitable hardness or of
regulation fineness and unmixed with
dirt. Also that the amount of ma-
cadam to be broken by any.dne person
and paid for by the city shall not ex-
ceed thirty yards per month.
, That the prices to be paid for `ma-
ca.dam shall be as follows:
Where the rock shall be, quarried by
the city and placed ready for breaking,
50 cents per cubic yard.
Where the rock shall be quarried by
the person breaking it, 75 cents per
cubic yard.
No macadam to be accepted except
at places convenient for hauling and
arproved by the street commissioner.
We recommend that the amount to
he broken in the different wards be
limited as follows: First ward, 2,500
yards; Second ward, 1,000 yards; Third
ward, 2,000 yards; Fourth ward, 2,500
yards; Fifth ward, 2,000 yards; or 10,-
000 cubic yards in all.
T=- rock to be broken in the Third
ward to be quarried by the city on
Angela street at or near the intersec-
t- of Catherine street and hauled
to the hay market to be broken, that
the street committee be authorized to
have such quantities of rock quarried
on the line of Robinson's alley for
breaking in the Second and Fourth
wards as it may deem expedient,
riot exceeding in amount the quantities
lc be broken in those wards. That all
rock quarried by the city shall be got-
ten out on the lines of streets or al-
leys.
That all quarrying of rock and
breaking of macadam be done by the
street commissioner under the
supervision and direction of the
street cornmittee and subject to
the regulations and limitation speci-
fied in this report and provided further
that no money be paid for macadam
before the second regular meeting in
February.

Regular Session, January 18, 1900. 13
Driving Park, on condition that the city
of Dubuque shall enter into a con-
tract to appropriate every year in per-
petuity, a certain sum of money to be
expended in the improvement and
maintenance of the property by a board
of trustees to be named by him and
who should fill all vacancies occurring.
in their own body and should have
sole control and management of the
park, has given the subject much care-
ful consideration.
While the offer of Mr. Stout is most
liberal and generous the question of its
acceptance under the conditions named
by hiin, presents obstacles, icg ll and
otherwise, difficult to overcome. The
most serious of these is the question of
the legal power of the city council to
enter into a contract to appropriate
every year in perpetuity, a certain sum
of money to be expended by private in-
dividuals in the care and maintenance
of property over which neither the city
government, nor the public. would have
any control or authority.
The report of the city attorney on tnis
question of the legal power of the coan
cin to bind the city for all time, by a
contract of the character named, is
very clear, and apparently most con-
clusive against the possession of such
power by the council, and would seem
to entirely settle the matter for the
present time. And your committee
fully concurs in the opinion of the city
attorney that the council has no legal
authority to enter into such an agree-
ment as is contemplated by the tctms
of Mr. Stout's proposition.
Whether it would be for the best In-
terests and policy of the city, for the
council, in ease it had the power, to
attempt to bind the corporation forever
by such a contract, it is not necessary
to consider in this report. It is very
certain, however, that serious objec-
tions would be interposed. especially
when it is considered that it would in-
volve the annual expediture of a con-
siderable sum of money for the main-
tenance and support of an enterprise
in which neither the city nor the pub-
lic would have any proprietary inter-
est or ownership or controlling author-
ity. Neither, being beyond the limits
of the corporation would the city be
able to afford police protection or en-
force over the grounds any of the rules
and regulations of the municipal gov-
ernment.
In regard to the suggestion con-
tained in the report of the city attorney
that the council could apply to the
general assembly for the passage of a
law which would enable the council to
accept the offer of Mr. Stout under the
conditions named by him we have to
express a doubt whether the legisla-
ture could be induced to enact a law of
such a character, or whether it is wise
for us to ask that it should.
The possession of a power which
would enable a city council to tie up
and bind the city for all time by con-
tracting to appropriate every year in
perpetuity a sum of money to be ex-
pended by private individuals having
no official relation with or responsibil-
ity to the city government for the sup-
port of an institution in which the city
leas no proprietary interest or control
is a most dangerous power and unsafe
to be entrusted to any municipal body
however honest and well intentioned.
We. therefore, recommend that no
further action be taken in the matter
except the mayor be instructed to ad-
dress Mr. Stout in writing, thanking
him for his generous offer, and in-
forming him that under the present
laws the council has no power to agree
to the terms of his proposition.
Respectfully submitted,

Present—Aids. Crawford, Duggan,

Wales.
Mayor Berg stated as follows:
This meeting of the City Council of
tlic City of Dubuque is called for the
purpose of acting upon the report of
the committee appointed by the city
council to negotiate with the Dubuque
Water Company for the purpose of fix-
ing a price at which the water works
plant and property of said company
could be purchased by the said city,
and to enter into and approve of a con-
tract between the city council of the
city of Dubuque and the Dubuque Wa-
ter company for the purchase of the
entire water works plant and all the
property of the said Dubuque Water
company, and for the purpose of pass -
!ng all necessary orders and ordinances
to that erid.
Mayor Berg then read the following
reports and comunmications of the
2ommittee of ten:
fo the City Council of Dubuque, Iowa:
he undersigned, constituting the
committee of ten, appointed by you to
meet the Dubuque Water company, for
the purpose of attempting to agree up-
on a price for the water works and
property of said company to be then
submitted for your action, respectfully
report:
That we have for some weeks carried
on negotiations with said company for
the purpose of obtaining a price which
we felt justified in recommending for
your acceptance; that in such nego-
tiations it was represented to us by
said water company that the actual
cost o fthe new work done by them on
said water works plant since December,
1898, amounted in round figures to $167,-
000, and that such sum, without adding
anything for subsequent rise of mate-
terial or labor, was properly charg-
able to "New Construction Account,"
and it has been understood that any
price agreed upon should be subject to
the verification of said "Construction
Account." It has been further under-
stood that any price agreed upon
should cover the entire plant and prop-
erty of the Water company, which
should be delivered to the city, in case
of purchase, with perfect title, free and
clear of all incumbrance, liens, or com-
plications of any kind.
Upon that basis this committee. after
a long course of negotiation finally
agreed as shown by attached copy
of their communication to the Water
Co., to consider a proposition from said
company to sell said property for $545,-
000, and in reply thereto received from
said company a proposition offering to
accept such price as shown by their
attached reply, which we submit here-
with for your consideration and action,
and upon the verification of said "New
Construction Account" to your satis-
faction, and upon the settlement and
the preparation of a proper agreement
as to all the details of such sale, deliv-
ery and payment, we recommend your
favorable action upon the proposed
purchase of said property at the nro-
posed price, of $545,000 on the within
stated conditions, and that the neces-
sary ste-s he taken to submit the
proposition to the voters as required
by statute, and that upon such ap-
proval by the people, and upon the
consummation of such sale, the pend-
ing litigation be dismissed, and ask
that this committee be discharged.

Dubuque, Ia., Jan. 29, 1900.
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City
of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:—The undersigned, ap-
pointed by your honorable body as a
committee to verify the claim made by
the Dubuque Water company to the
sub -committee of the general commit-
tee, to the effect that since December,
1898, the time when the Dubuque
Water company began making better-
ments in its water works plant and
property, it has expended in the bet-
terment of its said water works plant
and property the sum of about 8167,-
000.00, report as follows:
That the "trust deed" executed and
delivered by the Dubuque Water com-
pany to the Northern Trust company
and Arthur Huertley contains, among
others, the following conditions, to -
wit:
"(a) Two hundred (200) of said bonds
may be certified and delivered to the
party of the first part hereto from time
to time as required to reimburse it,
the said Water company, for and to the
extent of seventy-five per cent of its
cash expenditures made after the date
of this trust deed for improvements to
and betterments upon its water works
plant, not including extensions of its
lines of pipes and mains, provided how-
ever. that no bonds shall be certined
under this paragraph unless the re-
ceipts by the Water company from the
city of Dubuque( the corporation) for
the year then last past for water for
city uses except the sprinkling of
streets, aggregated a sutra sufficient
to pay the interest on all bonds then
outstanding hereunder as well as upon
these bonds at the respective time pre-
sented to the trustee for certification.
By improvements and betterments is
meant in this behalf all such additions
to and improvements upon the real
estate and personal property of the
party of the first part beret° connected
ivith or used fo rthe purpose of Its wa-
ter works plant fled business. as 1n the
judgment of the saki Northern Trust
company, trustee, shall constitute de-
sirable additions or proper benefits to
said water works plant, not including
extensions of pipes and mains."
"Article 13. That It will from time to
time in applying for bonds under para-
graph (a) of article 1 (being the para-
graph and article above set out) of this
trust deed furnished to said Northern
'rust company, trustee, statement of
its expenditures bearing the approval
of said John A. Cole or such other civil
engineer as said Northern 1 rust com-
pany may- select for that purpose."
The council will understand from the
above quotations that whenever the Du-
buque Water company has .'xpended
money in the betterment of its water
works plant and property that It is
authorized to call upon John A. Cole
for a certificate as to amount so ex-
pended whereupon said Northern Trust
company will issue bonds to the amount
of 75 per cent of the sum so certified.
That your committee visited the of-
fice of the said Dubuque Water com-
pany and had produced before it for in-
spection and examination the books of
said company and all papers and
vouchers pertaining to the expenditure
of the said sum of about 8167,000.00
above referred to.
That we found upon such Inspection
and examination that the said John A.
Cole has already approved of vouchers
for the sum of 5t45,914.15 as having been
expended by said Dubuque Water com-
pany in bettering its said plant and
property during the time from Decem-
ber, 1598, to January 2, 1900.
That our investigation further showed
vouchers in the possession of the said
Dubuque Water company for the sum
of $15,588.61 which has been expended
by said company in bettering its said
plant and property. This sum has not
as yet received the approval of said
John A. Cole, but our understanding
with the said Dubuque Water company
Is that we are to accept it as correct
only upon same being approved by said
Special Session, January 29, 1900. 27
John A. Cole in a regular report, under
conditions in said Trust Deed above re-
ferred to.
We further find, subject to the qual-
ifications herein contained, that said
Dubuque Water company has expended
and has outstanding bills amounting to
$7,200 accruing on account of better-
ments to its said water works plant and
property, which bills are not yet due,
but which will be paid by said Dubuque
Water company and vouchers produced
therefor.
That we accept such sum as correct
only in the event that vouchers for
same are secured by said Dubuque
Water company and approved by said
John A. Cole in a regular report made
urder said hereinbefore referred to
trust deed requirement to said North-
ern Trust company.
The investigation of your committee
may be summarized as follows

nation that the above sum of $168,652.76
has been expended by the said Du-

riod of time herein referred to in bet-
tering its said water works plant and

quested to secure and deliver, as per
its promise to this committee, to the
city of Dubuque, an affidavit executed
by John A. Cole showing the total
amount expended, for which vouchers
have been procured, and are within the

suspended for the purpose of hearing
from anyone desiring to address the
council on the subject. Carried by the
following vote:
Ayes—Aids. Crawford, Duggan, Flynn,
Frith, Jones, McLaughlin and Wales.
Hon. Robert Bonson addressed the
council and stated that the Water
company had proposed a conference
with a committee of the council in or-
der to endeavor to agree on a price for
the Water plant and to end all con-
troversies between the city and the
company.
That the company had entered into
the conference in good faith and a price
had been agreed upon, and that the
company was ready to enter into a
contract to carry out the agreement,
but stated emphatically that the coin-
pany would not execute such a contract
unless the suits brought by the city
against the company were to be dis-
missed.
Aldermen Wales, Flynn and Duggan
addressed the council.
Mr. Bonson presented a contract
drawn up by the Water Company and
asked that it be read. The said con-
tract was then read and follows:
This indenture, made this 29th day of
January, 1900, by and between the Du-
buque Water company, a corporation
created and existing under the laws of

tion, under the laws of Iowa, party of

That, whereas, the party of the sec-
ond part, did on the 5th day of Decem-
ber, 1870, pass an ordinance authorizing
S. Chamberlain et al, to construct,
maintain and operate, waterworks and
supply water to the city and citizens
of Dubuque, defining their powers and
prescribing their duties, and the Du-
buque Water company has succeeded
and is vested with the powers, privi-
leges, rights and franchises by said or-
dinance conferred, and
Whereas, It is provided in section 7

buque, at any time after twenty years,

ings, machinery, pipes and all other
property owned by it, with all its rights
and privileges by said ordinance grant-
ed. at such price as may be agreed up-
on by the city council of the city of
Dubuque and said Dubuque Water
company, and
Whereas, Twenty years have elapsed
since the granting of said franchises
and the city of Dubuque has legally

lars; and
Whereas, As provided by section 7 of

five thousand dollars of its bonds, and
such other bonds as are authorized by
the terms of said trust deed; and
Whereas, The Dubuque Water com-
pany, in order to make a transfer of
its property to the city of Dubuque,

erty by the city of Dubuque, to se-
cure the payment of the purchase price
and cost of such waterworks, and in-
tends to raise such sum in no other

num.
Sec. 2. This ordinance shall be pub-

Ald. Crawford stated that he had an-
other ordinance to report but before
presenting it he desired to read a re- v
port of the special committee on parks.
By unanimous consent the report
follows:
LAKE PEOSTA PARK.
Ald. Crawford presented the following
report:
Your special committee appointed
some months ago, for the purpose of
investigating the property rights of the
city in the old bed of Lake Peosta, and
of the ponds and sloughs lying between
Lake Peosta and the Mississippi river,
and to consider the feasibility and ex-
pediency of creating and establishing
a public park in that locality, of which
the beds of said lake and of the ponds
and sloughs east of the same should
form a part has given much attention
to the duty assigned it, and now re-
spectfully reports progress made.
We find that the States of Iowa by
two separate acts of the General As-
sembly, the first approved March 3,
1860. and the other April 4, 1896, has
granted to the City of Dubuque all the
beds of lakes, sloughs and pondsof
water in Sections Seventeen (17),
Eigh-
teen (18) and Nineteen (19) of township
eighty-nine (89), north of range three
(3) east of the 5th principal meridian,
which are east of the west meandered
re-
44 Regular Session, February 15, 1900.
line of the west shore of Lake Peosta,
and that the title of the city in the
same is paramount. The bed of Lake
Peosta, once very deep, and navigable
for a large craft, is now nearly dry and
is still being rapidly filled up, especially
at every recurring stage of high water.
The area of the bed of the lake with
that or the ponds and sloughs contained
in the grant by the state to the city
is estimated at something more than
two hundred and fifty acres. The
islands lying between Lake Peosta and
the main channel of the Mississippi
river are the property of various pri-
vate owners .and comprise approxi-
mately about four hundred acres. These
lands, with that already owned by the
city calculated by the assistant city
engineer to amount in all to six hun-
dred and sixty-five acres would form a
park of magnificent proportions, un-
equaled in extent and natural advan-
tages of location by any other in the
Mississippi valley. It would have a
frontage on the main river of a little
less than two miles. As proposed by
your committee the west boundary of
the park would extend from a point at
the south side of the foot of Twelfth
street and thence northerly along the
west line of the original bed of Lake
Peosta to the north line of Section 18,
which is about three hundred feet north
of the foot of Seventh avenue in Ham's
addition. As will be seen by reference
to the map of the city, every cross
street from Twelfth street to Seventh
avenue will intersect with the west
boundary of the park its entire length.
In a direct line north and south from
the northern to the sounthern bound-
ary, the park would be something over
a mile and a half long, and extend
down to a point opposite the central
portion of the city, rendering it easily
accessible to all citizens, whether walk-
ing or driving or boating.
It is unnecessary for your committee
to enlarge on the magnificent possibi-
lities that would be presented by the
creation and establishment of such a
park. It cannot be doubted, that in
time, even when only partially im-
proved, it would become the pride and
boast of the city.
It has been objected by some that the
cost of filling the bed of Lake Peosta,
and of the other ponds and sloughs
within the limits of the park would
be too expensive to be accomplished in
many years. In regard to that it is
not anticipated by your committee that
it will ever be desirable to fill Lake
Peosta, at least its entire area. In
fact we believe that a deep channel
or bayou, perhaps fifty or one hundred
feet wide, should be excavated and
maintained through the entire length of
the old bed of the lake from Eagle
Point to an outlet on the main river
above Eighth street. The excavations
from such a channel, with that obtain-
ed from the construction of the numer-
ous small la.kes and ponds for skating,
bathing, boating and other purposes
that would undoubtedly be provided for
in any systematic plan for improving
the park, would furnish ample material
for filling very much of the remaining
bed of the lake, and for drives along
the river front, or the western bound-
ary, or other portions of the park. In-
exhaustible quantities of material close
at hand, from the bed, and margin of
the main river, could also be had by
means of scrapers and sand pumps very
cheaply for filling of driveways and
walks and the lower portions of the
park as well as from the large surplus
of sand and earth in the vicinity of
the western boundary of the park near
Eagle Point. If thought expedient,
rows of piling across the big slough
at or above its junction with the foot
of the lakes, would soon cause the bed
of the slough to 1111 up to high water
mark.
It is not the intention of the com-
mittee by anything said in this report
t, anticipate any particular plan or
method of improving the nark but only
to suggest in a general way what might
be done in that connection. We should
suppose that before anything in the
way of substantial improvement would
be undertaken, some skilled landscape
engineer, experienced in such work
should be employed to survey the
grounds and present plans for a sys-
tematic laying out and permanent im-
provement of the park. When such
plans would be approved, whatev?r
work might be undertaken, should he in
accordance therewith. It is not the
purpose of the committee at this time
to recommend any action by the coun-
cil except that looking to the acquire-
ment of the lands to be included in the
park. It is one of the merits of the
enterprise that the city will not have
to expend any money or go to any ex-
pense after obtaining the necessary
land unless its financial condition will
justify it, and it can he done without
imposing any burden on the taxpayers.
The park is not a very bad one even as
it is at present.
Scme portion of the lower end of the
lake where the water is still of con-
siderable depth, is yet much used for
landing of lumber, wood and other sim-
iliar purposes. It is not expected that
this use need be interfered with for a
long time to come. if ever. while the
water in the vincrnity continues to be
navagable.
It is not believed by your committee
that the cost of acquiring the land on
the islands between Lake Peosta and
the main river, necessary to compelete
the area of the proposed park, will be
ve^y great. It win certainly be very
rr Berate compared with the object in
view. The total amount of the assess-
ment for taxation by the city, which is
supposed to be on a basis of the full
cash value on all the different tracks, is
Regular Seseion, February 15, 1900. 45
less than six thousand dollars. We are
of the oponion that it can be easily ob-
tained by the city for a moderate
amount, and as the owner of some of
the largest tracts are among the most
liberal and public spirited of our citi-
zens, we are not without hope that
when they comprehend the magnitude
and importance of the object for which
their land is desired, they will see fit
to grant it to the city for that purpose
without cost.
As it is possible that the owners of
some of the land proposed to be includ-
ed in the park, may demand excessive
or exorbitant prices for their property,
and that no agreement can be made
with them for its purchase, we recom-
mend the adoption of an ordinance pro-
viding for the condemnation of land for
parks, in accordance with the provis-
ions of the Code of Iowa.
We also reccommend the adoption of
the resolution accompanying this re-
port, and that the committee be con-
tinued.
Respectfully submitted,

port of the committee. Carried.

sess the damages for the taking of the
same to all the owners thereof, except
in cases where any of such real estate
may be granted to the City of Dubuque

pears of record; in which case the ap-
praisement shall be made of the dif-

peal is taken, and the amount of dam-
ages assessed on the trial thereof has

11202. Cornelius Ryan, Jr., vs. City
of Dubuque:
phis case was tried and judgment
rendered against the city before I was
elected city attorney, in the sum of $1,-
545.67. I appealed the case to the su-
preme court July 31, 1897, and prepared
and flied abstract and argument in
same at the October term, 1897, of the
supreme court. Decision of the supreme
court handed down at the October
term, 1898, reversing the judgment of
the lower court and remanding the case
back to the district court for trial on
7(1 Regular session March 1, 1900
its merits. At the May term, 1899,
of the district court this case again
came on for hearing before court and
jury. During the progress of the trial
the plaintiff amended his petition to
which petition as amended the city de-
murred. Upon demurrer being argued
it was sustained by the court, and
plaintiff refusing to plead further judg-
ment was rendered in favor of the
city, and plaintiff's case dismissed, and
costs of the several trials taxed against
plaintiff. Notice of appeal to the su-
preme court served on me, and on May
22, 1899, received copies of appellant's
abstract of record at law. Case pend-
ing in supreme court awaiting plain-
tiff's argument.
11286. Francis W. Engels vs. City of
Dubuque.
This action was pending when I came
into office. Plaintiff claims to be the
owner of the north 50 feet of lot 13 in
L. H. Langworthy's addition, and that
the city Illegally took possession of said
property, and tore down the buildings
and other improvements thereon, and
turned said premises into a public
street, known as Lincoln avenue. Plain-
tiff's action is to recover said property,
which she alleged to be worth about
$5,000.00, and to recover the sum of $7,-
000.00 for injuries and damages for be-
ing dispossessed of said property. I
tried case to jury in district court at
the May term, 1898. Motion to direct
a verdict for defendant was sustained,
and the jury returned verdict, "We,
the jury, find for defendant." Plain-
tiff flied bill of exceptions and gave
the city notice of appeal to supreme
court. Case pending plaintiff's further
action.
11493. O. G. Kringle vs. City of Du-
buque.
This case was pending when I came

que, Decorah, Alto and Delaware ave-
nues. Issues joined and case ready for

damages in the sum of $5,000.00 on ac-
count of injuries alleged to have been

on the sidewalk at the southwest cor-
ner of Iowa and Eighth streets. Du-
ing the month of March. 1899, I settled
this case for $75.00 and City Council
approved action.

leged change of grade in front of plain-
tiff's property on Grace street. Plain-

caused the flooding of his property with
surface water. I settled this case for
$150.00. City Council approved such
settlement.

ed before I was elected. The amount
claimed is $925.00. At the October term,
1899. of the district court I tried the
case before Hon. M. J. Wade, an ex-
changing judge, from Johnson county,
and he, after hearing the evidence ren-
dered judgment in favor of the plain-
tiff for the full amount claimed. Short-
ly after the trial new evidence vas dis-
covered and I immediately filed a mo-
tion for a new trial basing such motion
on the ground of newly discovered evi-
dence. At request of Judge Wade,
who had gone back to his home county,
I instructed the clerk of the district
court, upon the filing of written counter
showing on part of the plaintiff, to for-
ward papers to Judge Wade that he
may pass 'upon such motion for a new
trial. Case is pending in this condi-
tion.

the statute of limitations. At the

Judge Matthews presiding, such de-
murrer was overruled, and thereupon

demurrer. Case goes to supreme court.

City Engineer Blake reported as fol-
lows:
To the Hon. Mayor and City Council
of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen:
In acordance with instructions from
yaur honorable body, I herewith pre-
sent a plan and estimate of cost of a
storm water sewer on 5th avenue, from
lthomberg Ave. to Lake Peosta, a dis-
tance of 660 feet. While this is a much
needed improvement for that section of
the city, it would be much better to
have the street graded before the sewer
is built, for the reason that the street
will have a cut of over 20 feet in the
deepest part to reach the established
grade of the street, then adding the
depth of the sewer would make a to-
tal depth of 27 feet.
This will make the cost so great that
the city could hardly afford to build the
sewer as proposed.
An estimate of the work, one section
4 feet in diameter and one section 6
feet in diameter would cost $3,859.00.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. BLAKE,

APPROPRIATIONS.
Ald. Crawford, chairman of the com-
mittee of the whole presented the ap-
propriations for the ensuing fiscal year,
which was debated, amended and
adopted, as follows:
To the City Council:
Your committee of the Whole to
which was referred the matter of ap-
propriations for the ensuing fiscal year
having duly considered that subject
submits the follow report:
Before proceeding to flx the amount
of the various necessary appropriations
for the support of the city govern-
ment for any year, the statute makes
it the duty of the council to ascertain
Regular Session, March 15, 1900.
as nearly as possible the amount of the
aut'iorized revenue of the city for that
year.
For the fiscal year ending February
28th, 1900, and as a basis for the ap-
propriations made by this council one
year ago, the revenue of the city was
estimated at the gross sum of $314,000.
From the annual reports of the city
treasurer and auditor just made to the
,•,nrncil it is rhown that the actual net
revenue for the year was $367,000, or
an excess over the amount estimated
of $63,000. It also appears that every
appropriation made by the city coun-
cil a year ago, for the year ending
February 28th, 1900, exceeded the
amount actually expended. The total
sum of these unexpended balances of
appropriations amounts to $48,000.
From these statements the commit-
tee has been enabled to estimate with
reasonable accuracy to revenue of the
city for the year ending February 28th,
1901, as follows:
Unexpended balances of appro-
rlations for the fiscal year$ 48,000
Excess of actual net revenue for
past year over amount esti-
mated 53,003
From taxes on basis of last
year's assessment ($23,600,000)
and same rate of levy as last
year, and not including Water
works sinking fund $236,000
From licenses (including mulct
tax) 44,000
$381,000
Deducting from estimated
amount of receipts from taxes,
as uncollectable 11,000
Total revenue $370,000
Taking the above amount of revenue
as a basis, your committee recom-
mends that the following amounts be
appropriated for the several objects
specified to wit:—
For general expense and conting-
ent fund
For improvement, repair, main-
tenance and cleaning of streets,
alleys and highways 50,000
For expense of fire department38,000
For expense of police department 28,500
For care, maintenance and repair
of sewers (storms and sani-
51,000
tary)...... .................
For expense of engineer depart-
ment, including salaries
For expenses of street lighting29,000
For water for fire hydrants,
••ntalns and flush tanks
For expenses of board of health
For grading fund
For printing
For continuation of Bee Branch
waterway
For interest on bonded and float-
ing debt
For construction of street con-
necting with westerly end of
foot and wagon bridge at Eagle

Point, so much of said sum as
shall be necessary for the pur-
pose . 25,000
(Provided that no money shall be
expended under this appropri-
ation until the first pier of the
bridge shall be built above the
surface of the water in the
river.)
For Peosta Park fund according
to resoultion of council, and
map on file ,or so much of said
sum as shall be necessary 5,000
For taking up of improvement
bonds issued for payment of
special assessment against
parks, fire engine house
grounds and other real estate
of city for paving and ma-
cadamazing of streets and in-
terest on same .. 15,000
For retirement of floating debt.. 10,000
Total amount of appropriation.$370,000
In the opinion of the committee all
the appropriations recommended are
very ample in each case. Some of them
are much In excess of the anticipated
expenditure. 48 shown by the result
of the management of the present coun-
cil it does not necessarily follow that
because a certain sum is appropriated
for any particular purpose that it will
be all expended. On the contrary, while
it has been the policy of this council
to make ample appropriations for every
necessary object, it has seemed to be
the desire of all the members to show
as much of a saving as possible. The
saving of $48,000 from the appropria-
tions of the past year has made this
very manifest. There is no good rea-
son to suppose that it will be other-
wise in the future. Respectfully sub-
mitted,
P. W. CRAWFORD,

Ald. Flynn moved that those receiving
the highest number of votes for the
various offices be declared elected. Car-
ried.
Mayor Berg then delivered his vale-
dictory. The address follows:
Gentlemen of the Council:—Tonight
ends the official career of the present
city council, and with it my first term
as mayor is closed. We have labored
together for two years, and now it may
be well to review our work briefly in
the hope that our successors may profit
by our experience. Often the most valu-
able lessons may be learned by the
study of the past. It is helpful in
teaching us the failures and short com-
ings of men, and how a repetition of
them can be avoided. By the results
of our course we determine with what
degree of wisdom it has been governed.
We have made some mistakes, but no
serious detriment to the interest of the
city has followed. Therefore, we will
pass them, and at this parting hour
look only to the bright side of our
work. You can now, without egotism,
look at the facts as they are recorded.
We have carried out every promise
made to the people at the beginning of
our term two years ago.
The public debt has been reduced,
bonds have been refunded at the lowest
possible rate of interest ,and a contract
has been entered Into by which the
floating debt remaining ($200,000) will
he funded at 3 1-2 per cent interest with
an option to take up $10,000 annually,
thus enabling the city to wipe out the
entire amount in twenty years. You
have reduced the tax levy fro:n twelve
mills to ten mills. You have succeeded
in settling many of the special assess-
ment errors and complications made by
former councils. The improvement
bonded debt has been reduced about
$100,000, and the floating debt about the
same amount.
The code of 1897 placed a limit to the
expenditures in each department, but
you are to be congratulated that you
never reached the limit of a single
appropriation, there being each year a
handsirne unexpended balance in each
fund. This speaks well for your wise
and economical government and proves
that the good results can not altogether
be attributed to the statutory provis-
ions-
The water works question has been
settled, and is now in the hands of the
trustees appointed by the judges of the
district court.
The Bee Branch sewer has been com-
menced, and when completed according
to the plans adopted will relieve the
people from further damage by flood in
the northern part of the city.
We have been fortunate in having
no serious floods, storms or conflagra-
tions.
In conclusion'I take pleasure in say-
ing that our relations have been the
most pleasant, an41 when in years to
come memory wanders back to the
days we have spent together, it will
be marred by no unpleasant thoughts,
no bitter remembrances: but will be
only a series of happy thoughts of two
years spent, in what we deemed to be
labors of lasting usefulness to our city
and its people.
I desire to thank you all for your
courteous treatment, efficient services
and prompt attendance at all meetings.
A word of commendation is due the
various officials and their subordinates
in every department for their diligent
and careful attendance to their respec-
tive duties, by which they have mater-
ially aided us in carrying out our work.
Gentlemen. we now part as a. coun-
cil, you feeling I hope, as I do, that
each and every member of it has dis-
charged his duty to the city and to the
people we have represented the past
two years.
C. H. BERG.

CITY COUNCIL
Regular :esslon, April 12, 1900.
(Official.)
Council met at 8 o'clock p. m.
Mayor Berg in the chair.
Present: Aids. Clancy, Frith, Horr,
Jones, Kintzinger, McLaughlin and
Sheridan.
Mayor Berg then delivered his in-
angural address, which follows:
Gentlemen of the Council—In assum-
Irg the duties of mayor for the second
time, I wish to express my profound
appreciation to my fellow -citizens for
their continued confidence and the
honor conferred. It shall be my earn-
est endeavor to serve the people to
the best of my ability.
In entering upon our duties as a
council, a start in the right direction
is of vital importance; it will go a
great ways in lightening our labors
for the rest of the term and make our
work pleasant and congenial. The
heads of the several departments
should be held strictly responsible for
everthing over which they are placed,
and no alderman, in his individual
capacity, should attempt, or be per-
mitted to interefere. Interference in
any form should be tolerated only by
being brought before the proper com-
mittee and by them reported to the
council.
In all legislative bodies the work is
done by or through committees. This
is equaully true here. The council relies
on the committee report entirely. It
cannot do good work, therefore, unless
the members of the several committees
thoroughly investigate every matter re-
ferred to them prior to reporting to
the council.
If you wish to serve the community
well and with credit to yourself never
neglect your committee work. It is
your most important service as an
alderman, the one upon which
the success of your entire of-
ficial career depends. The chair-
man. after being assigned on the
standing committee, should call his
committee together and obtain all the
information necessary in that particular
branch of the city government.
No alderman should strive to obtain
for his ward what is not necessary and
justifiable, because some other alder-
men has obtained what he was not en-
titled to. In other words, there should
be no strife between aldermen to see
how much they can obtain for their re-
spective wards. Of course, it is the
duty of an alderman to look after the
interest and welfar% of his ward, but
he should remember at the same time
that he has in his charge the welfare
and interest of the whole city, as well
as that of his own ward. It was to
correct this evil of strife between the
108 Regular Session, April 12, 1900.
aldermen to gain advantages for their
particular wards, that the office of ald-
erman -at -large was created by the new
statute, and I want to impress upon the
two aldermen -at -large that they partic-
ularly do not stand for any one ward,
but for the whole city, which has elect-
ed them. They should at all times act
in the interest of the entire city, deal-
ing justly with each and all of the wards
of the city alike.
In union there is strength, and by
a unison of action and purpose our best
results can be obtaind. It is by
mutual co-operation and concessions
to each other, where differences arise,
that good work can be done. Where
we do not agree, we must honestly
strive to adjust matters satisfactorily
to all, and if our own ideas do not
carry, subordinate our personal wishes
to the will of the majority and the
best interests of the city.
I would recommend a change in the
sewer department. The sanitary sewer
force should consist of the foreman
and five men, which, in my opinion, is
ample to take care of the sanitary
sewers. The storm sewers should be
taken care of by the street foreman.
I desire to call your attention to the
appropriations for the fiscal year com-
mencing March 1, 1900; also to the fi-
nance report, from which you can learn
much valuable information.
In couclusion, gentlemen, I wish to
remind you that we have all entered
upon the administration of the affairs
of this city pledged to the exercise of
economy and the conservation of the
public good, I wish to pledge you my
earnest co-operation in that direction.
C. H. BERG,
Mayor.
Mayor Berg then read, for the bene-
fit of the new members of the council
the amount of the appropriations for
the various departments for the fiscal

Assistant City Attorney Maguire of-
fered the following report and reso-
lution:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: As you are undoubtedly
aware the undersigned have been ap-
pointed as a board of water works trus-
tees for the City of Dubuque, and the
city has contracted to purchase from
the Dubuque Water company its water
works plant for the sum of $545,000,
the purchase price to be paid and the
conveyances of the plant to be made
on June 1, 1900. The undersigned trus-
tees are charged with the duty of clos-
ing said contract and the only way the
purchase price of said plant can be
secured Is by the issue of bonds to se-
cure the same. These trustees have
found some difficulty in disposing of
the bonds, as the bond buyers insist
114 Regular Session, April 19, 1900.
on a decision of the supreme court de-
termining the validity of the bonds be-
fore they will purchase them. As there
is very little time in which to get a su-
preme court decision, and as it is not
certain what such decision would be,
these trustcea' fear that the compliance
with such condition would cause the
city to run a risk of losing the water
works, and this is to be avoided above
all for itis a matter of great importance
to the public that we should secure mu-
nicipal ownership of the water works.
Under these conditions a number of the
banks of the city and citizens of the
city confident of the validity of said
bonds and the integrity of the city of
Dubuque have generously offered to
take the bonds unconditionally,
at four and one-half per cent. with-
out obliging the city to resort to a su-
preme court decision provided such
bonds would be exempt from taxation
by the city and county. If these bonds
were sold to persons other than the
banks, non-residents would secure
them, and the city and county would
not be able to collect taxes upon them,
so that by exempting bonds from taxa-
tion the city and county would '.ose
nothing and would at the same time
confer a great benefit upon the city of
Dubuque, whose citizens by a vote of
3,132 to 459 evidenced their desire to
secure municipal ownership of water
works.
Wherefore we ask your honorable
body to exempt from taxation the $515,-
000.00 of water bonds issued by the city
of Dubuque upon the water plant in the
hands of the persons purchasing said
bonds unconditionally, and in the hands
of their assigns.
A. T. LUSCH,
PHILIP F. RYDER,
FRID HEER, JR.,
'Yrustees of Water Works of the City of
Dubuque.
Whereas, The board of water works
trustees of the City of Dubuque desire
to dispose of the waterworks bonds in
the amount of $545,000.00 to secure the
purchase price of the waterworks plant
of the Dubuque Water company, and
can dispose of said bonds at 4 1-2 per
cent unconditionally and without any
question as to their validity, to certain
banks and persons in the City of Du-
buque, Iowa, upon condition that said
bonds are exempted from city and
county taxes; therefore, be it
Resolved by the City Council of the
City of Dubuque: That if the said per-
sons and banks purchase the said bonds
unconditionally at 4 1-2 per Dent that the
said issue of $545,000 of bonds be exempt
from taxation by the city of Du-
que, Iowa, in the hands of said persons
and banks so purchasing said bonds,
and in the hands of their assigns, so
long as the said bonds are held and
unpaid by the said persons and banks
and their assigns; and the city assessor
is hereby nstructed not to assess such
bonds.

The purchasing committee reported as
follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—We, your purchasing
committee to whom was referred the
matter of new steel cages for the city
jail, beg to report that we have re-
ceived the •following bids:
The Champion L•on Co., Kenton. O.,
10 cells, including fixtures $734.00.
Eight cells, including fixtures $579.00.
Two cells, including fixtures, $155.00.
The Vandorn Iron Works, Cleveland,
Ohio. Ten cells, including fixtures,
$752.50; eight cells, including fixtures,
$602.00; two cells, including fixtures,
$170.00.
The Pauly Jail Building and Manu-
facturing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Ten cells,
including fixtures, $774.00; eight cells, in-
cluding fixtures, $598.00; two cells, in-
cluding fixtures, $176.00.
F. W. Johnston, city.
eluding fixtures, $750.00.
Mr, Johnston's bid includes the erect-
ing of the cages, but not the taking
down the old structures for this latter
job he ask $20.00 extra.
The other bids are F. O. B., Dubuque
and the putting up would cost $3.00 per
cell extra. The bids of the Pauly Co.,
and F. W. Johnston are for round ver-
tical bars three-quarters of an inch in
diameter, spaced four inches on center
and horizontal bars 3-8 of an inch by
2 1-2 inches, spaced about 12 inches
apart. This construction is stronger
than that of the other two bidders
whose uprights are but 1-2 inches and
set diagonally in horizontals; this, the
marshal thinks would be dangerous in
case an intoxicated man should fall
against it.
As F. W. Johnston is the lowest bid-
der, and as he guarantees the material
and wrecommendhip of the bestthaWeheould
be

City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
• Dubuque, June 22d, 1900.
To the Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen:
'The committee on streets referred to
me, for an opinion, the question as to
the liability of the C., M. & St. Paul
R. R. company, with reference to the
construction of the Bee B^anch sewer
under its right of way, and whether the
city could compel said company to con-
struct the Bee branch drain or sewer
under its tracks.
The city has the right to compel any
railway company to construct a drain
across or under its right of way at any
place where the tracks of the railway
cross any street or alley
That if a drain is to be constructed
along a street or alley where it passes
under the right of way of any railway
the railway company can be compell-ld
to construct such drain, or if it docs
not the city can construct the drain
and recover the cost of construction
from such railway company. But the
city cannot compel a railway company
to construct a drain at any oth•:r
place than where the tracks cross an
alley or other public place.
As I am informed by the city engi-
neer the place where the Bee Branch
drain is to be constructed under the
right of way of the C., M. & St. Paul
R. R. Co. is not upon any street, ally
or public place, but is private property,
and for that reason I report that she
said railway company is not under any
liability to pay for the cost of con-
structing said sewer, and the city cal -
not compel it to do so at that place.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
Attorney.
Ald. Frith moved thatithe pinion of
• city attorney be received and flied
and the proposition and plan of the C.,
M. & St. Paul R. R. Co. be referred to
the city engineer for estimate, and the
city engineer report to the council.
Carried.
Later in the session City Engineer
Blake reported as follows:
To the Hon. Mayor and City Council
of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen:
After figuring the work of lowering
the creek bed under the C., M. & St.
Paul R. R. tracks, in accordance with
the plan submitted by R. R. company,
I would consider their proposition to do
said work as being a liberal one. Tlie
work will figure in total as follows:
310 cubic yards of concrete, includ-
ing grading, and at my estimate $5.00
per cubic yard, would amount to $1,550.
this on a basis of the length of the
work being 200 feet. Respectfully sub-
mitted, E. C. BLAKE,
City Engineer.
Ald. Frith moved that the city ac-
cept the proposition of the R. R. coin-
pany, that the said R. R. company do
the work for $1,440, and the work be
done as soon as possible. Carried.
City Attorney Duffy also reported as
follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, June 26, 1900.
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder-
men of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: You have referred to me
the communication of the city marshal
and city engineer relative to their
claims for balance of salaries for my
opinion as to whether or not they are
entitled to recover same.
The Code of Iowa of 1897, Section 944,
provides, "The emoluments of any of-
ficer shall not be increased or dimin-
ished during the term for which he
shall have been elected or appointed
nor shall any change of compensation
affect any officer during his existing
term."
The city council on April 29, 1897,
fixed the salary of the marshal and the
salary of the engineer for the ensuing
year at $1,200.00 and $2,400.00 per year
respectively. These salaries were
fixed for the year commencing May 1,
1897, and up to May 1, 1898. so that up
to the date May 1, 1898, the in-
cumbents of said respective offices
drew and were entitled to salaries of
$100.00 and $200.00 per month respect-
ively.
On April 4, 1898, said marshal and
engineer were elected for two years
to their respective offices. On April
14, 1898, the city council fixed the
salaries of the newly elected officers,
including marshal and engineer, at
$1,000.00 and $1,500.00 per year respect-
ively.
It will thus be seen that at the time
of the election of these officers, April
4, 1898, and up to May 1, 1898, the sal-
aries of the incumbents of the offices of
marshal and engineer respectively were
$1,200.00 and $2,400.00 per year and the
action of the city council changed and
Regular Session, June 28, 1900. 191
diminished said salaries of marshal
during the term of office of Ed. Morgan
and of engineer during the term of of-
fice of E. C. Blake, provided their re-
spective terms of office commenced
with their election April 4, 1898, and not
with their qualification May 1, 1898.
In the case of Cox vs. City of Bur-
lington, 43 Iowa 612, the city aband-
oned its special charter March 1, 1875,
and at that time organized and con-
tinued under the general incorporation
act. The marshal under special charter
drew $75.00 per month salary. A new
marshal was elected March 1, 1875, un-
der general law and city council by
ordinance after his election and before
his qualification fixed his salary at $60.00
per month. The marshal brought suit
to recover $75.00 per month claiming
that the council had no right to dimin-
ish his salary, and the city set up the
fact that it had abandoned its special
charter and started in anew under
general law and the action of the
council did not change but fixed the
salary of the marshal. The supreme
court did not consider this claim. as it
is said that the salary of the office
at the time of the marshal's election
and up to his qualification was $75.00
per month and that if under the mean-
ing of the statute providing that no
salary shall be diminished during the
term of an officer, the term commenced
with his election and not with his quali-
fication, that the salary of said marshal
could not be changed after his election.
The court said the object of the pro-
vision should be considered, and that
it was to require the council to fix each
salary with reference to the office not
the officer, to exclude favoritism, and to
take from the council the power to
thwart the wishes of the people by com-
pelling an officer to resign by diminish-
ing his salary after election. The court
held that the city council could not
change salary of an officer after his
election and that the marshal was en-
titled
n-titled to recover $75.00 per month. This
case is In point here. It may be said
that the salaries of these officers were
never fixed by ordinance and that never
being legally fixed that the action of
the council In April, 1898, was not the
changing of a salary but the fixing of
salaries. In my opinion this proposi-
tion has no weight. The city is es-
topped for setting up its own illegality
or illegal fixing of salaries as a ground
for its avoidance of compliance with a
statute.
It has been held •that city council
cannot avoid its obligation to pay
compensation for changing grades by
setting up the defense that the city
had not before legally established a
grade on the street by ordinance as
it is obliged to do, and that the action
of the council was the fixing of a grade
and not the changing of a grade: for
the reason that the city is obliged to
establish grades by ordinance. If such
a defense could be set up the city need
and it could keep on changing grades
at pleasure without being liable.
So here if the city council could set
up this defense it could avoid the
statute by never legally fixing salaries
by ordinance and thus giving it the
right to change salaries at will and
change them during the term of office
of .a.n ofil^er.
If the statute could be avoided in
this way 1'. would be nugatory, and
the law would not uphold an interpre-
tation of the law that would avoid its
effect.
The policy of the law requires that
salaries of officers shall bc' fixed before
election so that the officers and the
public may know upon what basis the
officers are elected, and that after
their election and during their term
the salary which is attached to the of-
fice shall not be changed.
Goetzman vs. Whitaker, 46 N. W.
Rep. 1058 (Iowa), 43 Iowa 612 Supra.
I am of the opinion that where a
salary is fixed and existing at the
time of the election of an officer, and
that salary is attached to the office
and drawn during the period after elec-
tion and up to the qualification of the
newly elected officer, no matter how
the salary is fixed or for what period,
that it can not be changed so as to
effect such officer, and that he is en-
titled to recover the salary of the of-
fice at the time of his election. ro
hold otherwise would be to vitiate the
effect of the statute and to enable it to
be avoided. From these and other
considerations and authorities I report
that I believe the marshal and engi-
neer are legally entitled to recover
$400.00 and $1,800.00 respectively to-
gether with interest at 6 per cent on
the balance due annually on their res-
pective salaries.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,

Communication of J. B. Miller fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
I respectfully show to your honorable
body that in March last I was awarded
the contract for a portion of the Bee
Branch sewer, extending from Garfield
avenue west 1,000 feet.
That at the time such contract was
let, ther was then already let a con-
tract for said sewer running east and
south (from Garfield avenue and the
worthe perms ofwas dthe er cocontract toand
said work
was. to be completed May 1, 1900.
That I cannot work to advantage on
my contract without excavating the
etnire distance from Garfield avenuee
to Elm street, and having the
way open from Elm street to the river
so that the storm water, coming down
Elm street and other streets, sewers
208 Regular Session, July 19, 1900.
and waterways openings into the ditch,
can pass directly down to the river;
that this cannot be done until the con-
tract below me is completed, and also
the section of the sewer through the
right of way of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St. Paul railway company.
I also find that the part of my work
between Elm street and Garfield ave-
nue which passes over and through the
right of way of the Chicago Great
Western railway company has not been
provided for; that said railway com-
pany has plans for the improvement
and building of that portion of the sew-
er, which said plans materially differ
from the plans and specifications of
my contract, and the said Chicago
Great Western railway company will,
at the present time, only permit me
to open a. drain through their right of
way, but will not permit to do work
and build the sewer under my con-
tract.
I stand ready to complete my con-
tract according to plans and specifica-
tions whenever same can be properly
done; that I cannot do it until the com-
pletion of the lower portions of the
sewer which crosses the right of way
of the Chicago Great Western railway
company.
I would respectfully ask that the cit"
at once conclude its arrangement with
the Chicago Great Western railway
company so that I may know what por-
tion, if any, of the contract that I now
have is to be changed, or the work on
such part done by the Chicago Great
Western railway company.
I further ask that I be permitted to
delay the work under my contract un-
til the portions of the sewer now un-
der contract, and all lying south and
east of my contract to the river, be
completed, so that there shall be drain-
age that will permit me to do the work.
That all the delay so far has been
caused by the failure of the city to
make proper provision for the extension
of the sewer through the right of way
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul railway company, and also the
right of way of the Chicago Great
Western railway company.
I respectfully ask that immediate
action be taken in this matter, as the
present condition is a great incon-
venience to the public, and has caused
loss and damage to me, for which I
shall expect to hold the city if some
satisfactory arrangements are not
made by which the work can be car-
ried on and completed at an early date.
J. B. MILLER.

me by the committee of the whole, as
to the reliability of the Chicago and
Great Western Railway company for
the cost of building Bee Branch sewer
between Garfield avenue and Rhom-
berg avenue, will sta>:e, that the part of
Bee Branch sewer in question runs
through the private property of the

the city will be compelled to defray the
expense of such portion of said sewer.

previous action by resolution, without

Mayor Berg presented and read the
following veto:
Dubuque, Iowa, Aug. 2, 1900.
To the Members of the City Council of
the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: I hereby veto the ac-
tion of the city council of July 19, 1900,
in adopting the report of the com-
mittee of the whole, allowing and or-
dering paid the claims of certain city
officers for back salaries claimed to be
due them, and withheld by reason of
art illegal decrease of such salaries;
my reasons for thus vetoing such ac-
tion are as follows:
This matter has been referred to the
city attorney and he has advised in
favor of allowing these claims, and I
do not desire to be understood as dif-
fering with the city atorney upon his
opinion of the law, or holding that
such decrease was illegal, as not being
a lawyer I have no legal opinion upon
the subject, and I do, not base this
veto upon any legal proposition.
The matter has been referred to the
city attorney merely as a legal adviser
51 30
1 85
25 85
of the city, and as a legal proposition
he has stated that the claim shpuld be
allowed. However, there is another
phase of this matter to be considered
and that is the business proposition.
If the warrants are drawn in this mat-
ter large amounts will be paid out,
without the judicial decision of a court.
If the matter is referred to the court
for a decision the claimants will loose
nothing. for if they are entitled to re-
cover they can recover there. The city
will loose nothing by appealing to the
courts, because if it looses the cases, it
will only have to pay a few dollars •
cost in addition to the amount now or-
dered paid, and if it wins the cases, it
of course, is ahead some thousands of
dollars. The -city has nothing to loose
and everything to gain by referring
the matter to the courts for adjudica-
tion, which adjudication by the courts
will afford more satisfaction to the
taxpayers of the city who are the in-
terested ones. than to have the matter
settled without a decision of the courts.
Besides I am personally interested in
one of the claims. and I feel and be-
lieve the other city officers also feel
that in duty to ourselves and the
citizens who elected us, we should not
take this amount of money from the
treasury Avithout feeling absolutely
certain that we are entitled to it, and
this can only be after a decison of the
court upon the subject.
For these reasons I veto the action of
the city council and have already in-
structed the city recorder not to draw
warrants for said claims.
Respectfully submitted,
C. H. BERG, Mayor.
Ald. Frith moved that the action of
the mayor be approved. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas—Alds. Clancy, Frith, Horr,
Jones, Kintzinger, McLaughlin and
Sheridan. Total 7.
Nays—None.
Mayor Berg stated that the Rumpf
Frudden Lumber Co. would like to get

special tax against the property abut-
ting on or adjacent to such sewer in
proportion to the special benefits con-
ferred upon the property thereby and
not in excess of such benefits. Such
assessments shall not exceed twenty-
five per centum of the actual value of
the lot or tract at the time of levy,
and the last preceeding assessment roll
shall be taken as prima facie evidence
of such value. But in estimating the
benefits to adjacent property no ac-
count shall be taken of improvements,
and eaeh lot or parcel .of land shall be
considered as wholly unimproved. The
cost of any sewer in excess of Three
Dollar per linear foot shall be paid from
the general fund.
Sec. 2. The council shall have the
power to levy a tax not exceeding three
mills on the dollar on the assessed
valuation of all property therein,
for the city sewer fund to pay the
whole or any part of the cost of mak-
ing, reconstructing, or repairing any
sewer within the limits of said city.
When the city has been divided into
sewer districts the council shall have
the power to levy a tax not exceeding
five mills, on the taxable real property
in the sewer district, for the district

construction of a sewer in such dis-
trict, then the maximum percentage of
taxes that can be levied in any one
year shall not be limited to five mills
hut shall be such per centage of the
valuation of such property as will pro-
duce at least one-tenth of the whole
cost of such sewer assessable upon
the real property inart oh f distrihe ct.
When the whole or any P
st

sewer shall be ordered paid from the
district or city sewer fund, the council

tion, levy at one time the whole or any
pert of the cost of such within such

tion 978 of the Code, and acts amend-
atory thereof as the case may be. If
there be property owned by the city
or state or United States or other

sessment may be levied the propor-
tion of the cost of the improvement
which might otherwise be assessed
against such property shall be paid in
like manner.
Sec. 4. Whenever a petition be pre-
sented to the city council asking that
any sewer be constructed or recon-
structed, and said petition shall be
signed by the owners of the majority
of the linear front feet of the prop-
erty abuting on such sewer, and a ma-
jority of the owners of adjacent prop-
erty beneflted thereby and liable to
assessment therefor the petition shall
be referred to the city engineer, to ex-
amine and report whether the same is
signed by the owners of the majority
of the linear front feet of the property
abutting on such improvement, and a
majority of the owners of such adja-
cent property. If he shall report that
a majority of such have signed said pe-
tition, the council may order the con-
struction or reconstruction of such
sewer to be made as hereinafter set
out.
Sec. 5 The city council may when-
ever deemed expedient, order such sew-
er to be constructed or reconstructed

of not less than three-fourts of all the
members of the council.
Sec. 6. Before the council orders any

ment, the extent thereof, the size and
kind of materials to be used, and to

of, and the amount assessable upon
each lot or parcel of land adjacent to
or abutting thereon, and to file such
plat, specifications, and estimate in the
office of the city recorder.
Sec. 7. After such plat is filed, the
city recorder shall cause to be pub-
lished notice of the intention of the
council, to make such improvement,
which notice shall be published in three
consecutive issues of the official news-
papers of the city, stating that such
plat is on file, and, generally the nature
of the sewer, its location, size and
kind of materials to be used and the

before Nvhich objections can be .iced,
which time shall not be less than five
days after the last publication of such
notice..
Sec. 8. The councsil after consider-
ing such objections, if any be filed,
shall determine what change, if any,

such plat and specifications and may
by resolution order such sewer describ-
ing generally the extent of the work,
the size, kind of materials to be used,

or reconstructing same, shall be let in
the name of the city to the lowest bid-
der, by sealed proposals, upon giving
notice for at least ten days by two
publications in the official newspaper
of the city which notice shall state
as nearly as practicable the extent of
the work, and the size and kind of ma-
terials for which bids will be received,
when the work shall be done, the terms
of payment fixed and the time the pr.
posals Witt be acted upon, which notick
shall be given by the recorder. All

envelope with a certified check paya-
ble to the order of the city treasurer in

checks where the bid is not accepted
shall be returned.
Sec. 10. Ah the meeting of the city
council at which bids are to be re-
ceived, such bids shall be opened and
the contract awarded but all bids may
be rejected, and new bids ordered. The
city and the person or persons to
whom such contract is awarded, shall
thereupon enter into a contract for the
making or reconstruction of such
sewer, and no work shall be done un-
der such award until such contract or
a certified copy thereof shall have been
filed in the office of the recorder. Each
contractor for such improvement shall
give bond to the city with securities
to be approved by the council or board
of public works, where such board ex-
ists for the faithful performance of
such contract, and suit on such bond
may brought in the county of Dubuque,
Iowa.

ing for the payment of the assessed
cost of any sewer which has been, or
is to be, assessed upon the property
abutting thereon or adjacent thereto,

City Attorney Duffy reported as fol -
lows:
Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 8, 1900.
To the Hon. Mayor and Aldermen of
the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Reporting on the an-
nexed petition of H. W.
Scott,
a willl
state that on August 3, 1896,
assessment was levied against the lot
referred to in said petition to pay for
the building of a sewer, and such
special assessment was paid by Mr.
Scott. The sewer for which this as-
sessment was levied answered, so far
as this lot was concerned, all the pur-
poses for which sewers are built, and
said lot needed no further sewer, but
on March 1, 1900, a second special as-
sessment was levied, amounting to
$75.60, to pay for another
sewer
and ituiit
lt
on street abutting
to the payment of this second assess-
ment for such second sewer that Mr.
Scott objects. Under the law the
property is liable for such part of the
cost of building the sewer as equals
the benefit to the property from said
second sewer.
In view of the fact that the first
sewer answered all purposes, it would
seem that the benefits to be derived
by the second sewer wo
uld not be
had
much. Mr. Scott, at0 talk k.00 1 fulld
with him, offered to pay $2 I am
of said special assessment, and should
of the opinion that the city
accept this offer and instruct the
treasurer to cancel the remainder of
F, aid assessment.
Respectfully submitted,
$420 30 THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Aid. Iiintzinger moved to adopey and ttthe
report of the city
the city treasurer be instructed to ac-
cept the $20.00 in full payment of the
special assessment against Mr. Scott
for the second sewer and the balance
264 Regular Session, September 20, 1900.
of the second assessment be canceled.
Carried.
City Attorney Duffy also reported:
Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 20, 1900.
To the Hon. Mayor and Aldermen of
the City of Dubuque:
Gentlement: Reporting on the pe-
tition of Mrs. Ann ltooney, will say, I
understand that the cut or grading
about which Mrs. Rooney complains is
the original grading of the alley. and
not a change in a grade already es-
tablished. The city is not liable for
the establishment of a grade, as it is
only to render compensation to the
abutter where there is a change of a
grade previously established, and on
this ground the city would not be
liable. If the grading of the street
or alley makes the bank precipitous
and dangerous to children or other
people passing along the bank, the city
would not be liable as the city has not
established a thoroughfare or sidewalk
so as to invite travel along the bank.
As to the claim that part of her lot
has been taken by the city this is a
matter for the city engineer, and he
joins in this report and states that
he ran the line of the alley and found
that no part of Mrs. Rooney's prop•
erty was taken in the grading of the
street.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
E. C. BLAKE,
City Engineer.
Ald. Kintzinger moved that the joint
report of the city attorney and city
Engineer Blake be adopted and ap-
proved and the petition of Mrs. Rooney
be received and filed. Carried.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen—I herewith submit my
report on the communication of the
Dubuque Telephone Co. I will state
that I hae made a thorough examina-
tion of the streets and alleys and find
that the insulation of the light and
power wires are in fairly good condi-
tion. In some places the outer cover-
ing is ragged, but safe. If the Du-
buque Telephone company would use
better judgment in stringing wires
and not touch wires that do not belong
to them, they would not have their
property damaged or their workmen
injured. RespectfullyWM.HIPMAN,d

Regular Session, September 20, 1900.
Men's Library association in relation
to a free public library. The re-
port follows:
Dubuque, Iowa,, Sept. 20, 1900.
To the Members of the City Council
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Your committee to
whom was referred the duty of ascer-
taining whether the question of the es-
tablishment of a free public library
could be submitted at a general elec-
tion to be held for county officers on
Nov. 6, 1900; report as follows:
The section of the code which pro-
vides for the submission of the ques-
tion. states that it may be submitted
at a general or special election, but
this section is found in a chapter
which has reference only to cities.
We believe that the section means
that the question can be submitted
only at a general or special city elec-
tion ,as there is no provision for sub-
mitting city questions at a county elec-
tion, and it is impracticable to do so
as the city has no control over any of
the proceedings.
The board of supervisors appoint the
judges and clerks of county elections
to request them to furnish said services
without expense to the city.
Respectfully submitted,
C. H. BERG, Mayor,
ALD. JOSEPH L. HORR,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Aid. McLaughlin moved to adopt the
report and the same committee be
continued to make the arrangements
in accordance with the report. Car-
ried.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Ald. Kintzinger, chairman of the
ordinance committee repm•ted hack to
the council the following owlinanror:
An ordinance to provide for improv-
ing streets ;also an ordinance to pro-
vide for the making and reconstruct-
ion of sewers which both had passed
the second reading. Ald. Kintzinger
moved that both ordinances he with-
drawn. Carried .
Whereupon Ald. Kintzinger present_
ed the following ordinances in lieu
thereof:
An ordinance to amend an ordinance
entitled "An ordinance to provide for
improving streets, alleys, highways
nd avenues, by parking, curbing,
axing, gravelling, macadamizing and
tittering same, and to provide for
e issuance of bonds and
rtiflcates and for the levy
and collection of assessments
against abutting property to pay for
such improvement," which was adopt-
ed by the city council of the city of
Dubuque on May 19, 1598.
the county auditor has the ballots a
printed, and the returns of the elec- p
tion are made to the board of super- th
visors who canvass the vote.
However, it can be legally arranged cc
J to call a special city election for the
same date, and the city council can
appoint the same judges and clerks of
the city election as are appointed by
the board of supervisors for the coun-
ty election. The city authorities could
prepare the proper ballot and poll
books and deliver them to the judges
with separate ballot boxes, and the
judges could make the return of the
election on the library question to the
city council who would canvass the
vote.
As the election would be held at the
same polling precincts, the city would
save the cost of rent of these poll-
ing places, provide the board of super-
visors would agree to allow the city
to use them for said purpose. And if
the judges and clerks of election would
agree to perform this extra duty free
of charge, the city would be under
little expense to submit this question
to the people. As the city council is
desirious of submitting the question
to the people, but does not wish to In-
cur any great expense in so doing, and
is a matter of such importance that
II- should be submitted to the people,
and as it would impose very little extra
labor upon them we believe that the
board of supervisors and the judges
and clerks of election would comply
with the request of the city in this
matter. We would therefore recom-
mend that a committee he appointed
to confer with the board of supervisors
and the judges and clerks of election
who are to be appointed by the board,
Ald. Kintzinger moved that the or-
dinance be read the first time, Car-
ried by the following vote:

stench comes from it and that the
Gas company is now erecting a new
boiler room. which when completed
they will connect with the sewer and
in this manner carry off the water,

pany has completed its new boiler
room.

ment of the Dubuque High Bridge
Co. and its petition for cancellation of
taxes for 1899 on the ground that their
receipts over and above all legitimate
expenses will not net an annual divid-
end of eight per cent. beg to report
that the matter was referred to the
city attorney for a written opinion as
to the legality of the exemption from
taxation of the above mentioned com-
pany. The opinion of the city at-
torney (which is hereto attached and
made part hereof being that the
terms of the charter granted the Du-
buque High Bridge company make
said charter a contract between the
city and said company; such being the
Regular Session, September 20, 1900.
case the exemption from taxation is
a part of the contract and cannot
be violated; and further more that
the Dubuque High Bridge company
has the right to pay reasonable sal-
aries to officers charged with duties
other than those of an ordinary stock-
holder, and such salaries should be
considered legal disbursements; we
would therefore recomend that the re-
port of the city attorney be received
and that the prayer of the petitioner
be granted.

City Attorney Duffy's report follows.
Dubuque, Ia., Sept. 12, 1900.
To the Members of the Committee of
the Whole.
Gentlemen: You have referred to me
the question of whether the exemption
from taxation contained in the char-
ter of the Dubuque High Bridge com-
pany is legal. In reply will say that a
mere exemption by the city of any per-
son or corporation from taxation on the
ground of policy without any special
benefit to the city as a municipali4' is
only a license or privilege which can be
revoked by any subsequent council. But
where the city enters into and grants
an exemption from taxation on the
ground of bargain and consideration, or
where for the exemption from taxation
granted, the city receives some legal
equivalent, or the person exempted re-
linquishes somethings, then the ex-
emption from taxation is legal and
binding upon the city. Where the
state or the city acting as the agency
of the state grants a charter with re-
servations for the benefit of the city
therein and the charter is accepted it
becomes a contract so that an exemp-
tion from taxation granted therein is
binding. The city of Duubuque granted
to the Dubuque High Bridge company
a charter, in which charter the said
company relinquishes certain rights
271
and gave certain privileges to the city
of Dubuque, and by the terns of the
charter it is made a contract between
the city and the High Bridge company.
Such being the case, the exemption
from taxation is a part of the contract
made by the city of Dubuque and can
not be violated. About this there can
be no question: Cooley on taxation
(2nd edition.) Pages 66 to 72. See also
Grant vs. City of Davenport 36 Iowa
396. The High Bridge company has a
right to pay salaries to officers who are
charged with duties other than an or-
dinary stockholder and can fix a rea-
sonable salary, and such salaries paid
should be considered legitimate dis-
bursements in estimating the net reve-
nue under the charater, unless such
salary is unreasonable and fixed merely
for the purpose of avoiding this provi-
sion of the charter. There seems to
be nothing showing this or showing
that there is a false return as to sal-
aries, made for the purpose of avoiding
the provisions of the charter and un-
less such is the case no objection can
be made to the salaries reported as
disbursements. THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Your committee of the whole to whom
was referred the communication of
Jacob Rich, et al., stating that a gen-
tleman had offered tv donate $50,000
to the city of Dubuque for the erection
of a substantial home for a free pub-
lic library on condition:
First. That a suitable lot for such
building be furnished.
Second. That the Young Men's
Library Association turn over to the
city all its books and assets and unite
in upbuilding such library.
Third. That the people of Dubuque
vote to establish and maintain said
free public library.
And stating further t.;a.t the Young
Men's Library Association are willing
to comply with the second condition
above mentioned; and agree to under-
take to raise by subscription, as soon
as the people of Dubuque pledge them-
selves by vote to maintain such free
public library, the means necessary to
purchase the lot and will apply their
permanent fund, now about $7,000 to
this purpose; and a tax of one quarter
of a mill would be amply sufficient for
the maintenance of such library, we
would recommend that the petition be
granted and beg to report that they
have appointed a committee composed
of the mayor, the city attorney and Al-
derman Horr to ascertain the most eco-
nomical and feasible manner of hold-
ing the election and also to investigate
all the details of the proposition.
J. W. KNTZINGER, Chairman.
Ald. Kintzinger moved to adopt the
report and that the action of the
special committee on the free public
library be approved. Carried.
Your committee of the whole to
whom was referred the petition of th

Union Electric company to so amend
the ordinance relating to the attaching
of fenders to street cars, as to extend
the time for attaching same to April
1. 1901, would recommend that the
prayer of the petitioner be granted.
J. W. KINTZINGER,
Chairman.
Ald. Kintzinger presented the follow-
ing minority report:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
The undersigned a minority of t
committee of the whole is compelled
dissent from the report of the majors
of the committee recommending th
the petition of the Union Electric co
pany to so amend the ordinance rela
ing to the attaching of fenders
street cars, as to extend the time f
attaching the same to April 1st, 19
be granted and for the following re
sons:
Tho above mentioned ordinance was
adopted by the city council July 6th,
have certainly had sufficient time since
then to conform with the law, had
they the inclination to do so. This
ordinance was adopted with a view of
providing an additional safe -guard for
the public; and so long as the clause
which the petitioner asks to have
amended remains in force, a person in-
jured by a street car, could set
un the claim that such car
was being run in violation of the city
ordinances; and therefore even though
the fenders were not attached the
street car companies knowing that
they were running their cars in viola-
tion of the law, would exercise greater
care and vigilance, and the main ob-
ject of the ordinance, that of prevent-
ing accidents, would be accomplished.
I would therefore recommend that the
petition of the Union Electric com-
pany be received arid filed.

and same judges and clerks, to the
county attorney, Mr. E. E. Bowen, and
he, after giving the matter mature
consideration, reported to the board of
supervisors that such elections could
not so be held, and thereupon the re-
quest of your committee was refused.
Respectfully submitted,

The trustees of the water works re-
ported as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned,
having been appointed by the honor-
able judges of the district court of Du-
buque county, Iowa, trustees of the
water works of said city, hereby beg
leave to submit our report of the con-
dition of said water wroks on the 1st
day of October, 1900, as provided by
law.
After making every possible effort to
place the $545,000 in bonds voted by the
people of Dubuque for the purpose of
purchasing the works, we finally ac-
cepted propositions from the banks and
citizens of this city to take the bonds
at uar at 4 1-2 per cent interest per
annum, payable semi-annually, as we
did not receive any bids from outside
parties at a lower rate. We paid this
money to the Dubuque Wa amdeeds
mpany
on their delivering to us proper
and conveyances for the plant to the
city of Dubuque also abstracts shoving
title clear and the release of their trust
deed to the Northern Trust Co. of Chi-
cago, which have been duly recorded.
We took possession of said plant on
the first day of June and found
devee
same in fair condition. As,
very little had been done in keeping
up the machinery, etc., we were com-
pelled to expend considerable money in
making necessary repairs and in plac-
ing the plant in first class condition;
and we believe now that all engines,
pumps and other machinery are in
good shape. We found it necessary in
order to save water from the Eagle
Point wells, to make a connection with
the river for condensing purposes, by
which method we are saving from 250,-
000 to 300.000 gallons of well water per
whichootno takingcost apossession,
We a he found, 1 was totally in -
that the water supply
adequate and that we must in
some
ie
way obtain a larger supply; and,
order to do this, at the least possible
expense, we made a contract with J. P.
Miller & Co., of Chicago, for the bor-
City
29() Regular Session, October 4, 1900.
ing of a third well at Eagle Point,
which at present, is nearly completed
and will give us at least 300,000 gallons
per day; and we hope that by deepen-
ing same a few hundred feet, the result
will be much more favorable; and we
think that, with the additional water
from this well, and the saving by using
river water for condensing purposes,
we will have sufficient supply from the
several wells and from the level to fur-
nish the required amount of water for
next year. The necessary amount so
expended for new improvements and
for repairs have been very much larger
than we anticipated, but as all ma-
chinery, etc., is at present in excellent
condition we think that the amount to
be expended in the future in this direc-
tion will be very much less. We have
also made a number of extensions as
follows:
500 feet on Grove Terrace.
506 feet between Clay and White
streets.
187 feet on West 16th street.
We are now repainting the stand
pipe which was very much needed and
in fact are doing every thing we can
to bring the plant up to a first class
standard with as little expense as
possible. Attached hereto we re-
spectfully submit a detailed report of
receipts and expenditures to Oct. 1,
1900.

Your committee on streets have in-

the sidewalk would have to be torn
up and on account of the stringers
being rotten it will be impossible to
replace the sidewalk in a satisfactory
manner. We would therefore recom-

if he will inform the street commiss-
ioner when he is ready to relay this
sidewalk, men will be sent to clean oui.

An ordinance to amend an ordinance
entitled "an ordinance to provide for
the making and reconstruction of
sewers, and to provide for the is-
suance of bonds and certificates, and
for the levy and collection of assess-
ments against abutting and adja-
cent property to pay for the cost of
same," which ordinance was adopt-
ed by the city council of the city of
Dubuque, May 19th, 1898.
Be it ordained by the City Council
of the city of Dubuque.
Section 1. The cost or any part
thereof of making or reconstructing
sewers, not in excess of three dollars
per lineal foot shall be assess-
ed as a special tax against the prop-
erty abutting on or adjacent to such
sewer in proportion to the special
benefits conferred upon the property
thereby and not in excess of such
benefits. Such assessments shall not ex-
ceed twenty-five per centum of the act-
ual value of the lot or tract at the
time of levy, and the last preceeding
assessment roll shall be taken as
prima facie evidence of such value.
But in estimating the benefits to ad-
jacent property no account shall be
taken of improvements, and each lot
or parcel of land shall be considered
as wholly unimproved. The cost of
any sewer in excess of three dollars
per linear foot shall be paid from the
general fund.
Section 2. The council shall have
the power to levy a tax not exceeding
three mills on the dollar on the as-
sessed valuation of all property there-
in., for the city sewer fund to pay the
whole or any part of the cost of mak-
ing, reconstructing, or repairing any
sewer within the limits of said city.
When the city has been divided into
sewer districts the council shall have
the power to levy a tax not exceeding
five mills, on the taxable real property
in the sewer district, for the district
sewer fund, to be used to pay, in
whole or in part, the cost of making
or recomstructing any sewer located
in that particular district; provided,
that on petition of the owners of two-
thirds in value of all the taxable real
estate within such sewer district for
the construction of a sewer in such
district, then the maximum percent-
age of taxes that can be levied in
any one year shall not he limited to
five mills but shall be such percentage
of the valuation of such property as
will produce at Least one-tenth of the
whole cost of such sewer assessable
upon the real property in such dis-
trict. When the whole or any part
of the cost of the making or recon-
struction of any sewer shall be order-
ed paid from the district or city
sewer fund, the council may after the
completion, by resolution, levy at one
time the whole or any part of the cost
of such sewer upon all taxable real
property within such sewer district
or within the city, and determine the
whole percentage of taxes necessary
to pay the same, and the pecentage
to be paid each year, not exceeding
the maximum annual limit of such
taxes, and the number of years not
exceeding ten, given for the maturity
of each installment; but no part of
the cost shall be levied against the
property owned by the city, county or
state.
Sec. 3. If the special assessments
which may be levied against such
abutting or adjacent, property shall he
insufficient to pay the cost of such
sewer, the deficiency shall be paid out
of the general fund, or out of the
district or city sewer fund provided
for in Section two of this ordinance
and in sub -division three of Section
1005 and Section 978 of the Code, and
acts amendatory thereof as the case
niay be. If there he property owned
by the city or state or United States
or other property against which no
special assessment may be levied the
proportion of the cost of the improve-
ment which might otherwise be as-
sessed against such property shall be
paid in like manner.
Sec. 4. When such assessment or
installmert thereof or interest shall
become delinquent as stated, the treas-
urer shall cause notice to he given
by publication once each week for
three consecutive weeks in some news-
paper in the city, the last of which

Your committee of the whole beg to
report that the city council entered
into an agreement with the Union Elec-

1900 whereby the said Union Electric
Co. were to furnish the city with 29 ad-
ditional electric lamps, which lamps
were to be in service on or before the
first day of November, 1900.
Acting on this assurance of the Union
Electric company the city council or-
dered the contract with the Welsbach
Street Lighting Co. discontinued, which
was accordingly done: the Union Elec-
tric Co. not having fulfilled its promise
in regard to the date on which the
lamps would be in operation, that part
of the city which has heretofore been
lighted with gasoline lamps is now left
in complete darkness, we would there-
fore recommend that the city recorder
be instructed to notify the Union Elec-
tric Co. that the city council will hold
it responsible for any accident that
may happen, and that may be due to
its failure to provide the lamps within
the time specified. and furthermore
that the city council insists that all the
new lamps shall be in operation by the
1st day of December, 1900, at the very
latest. J. W. KINTZINGER,

and maintenance, and that there were
694 male votes and 38 female votes
cast against such establishment and
maintenance, so the proposition to es-
tablish and maintain a free public lib-

I was requested to notify you of the

soon as convenient, and to request you
when you have procured the lot upon
which said library shall be erected,

City of Dubuque to be deposited in the
library fund, to be used by the trustees
to be appointed as required by law, for
the purpose of erecting a substantial
fire -proof home for such free public
library, and for no other purpose.
The citizens of the City of Dubuque
by the large majority by which they
carried this proposition have shown
their grateful appreciation of your
generosity, and of the magnificent do-
nation of $50,000 made by the person
whose name is unknown to the citi-
zens, and the City Council and Mayor

To the Honorable Mayor and Alder-
men of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—On the 14th, inst., I, act-
ing with the approval of the mayor
and committee on claims, compromised
the case of Cornelius Ryan, Jr., vs.
City of Dubuque. This suit was
brought to recover from the city
$1,645.67 alleged by Mr. Ryan to be due
him on account of grading done on
Southern avenue. The case was first
tried before I came into office and a
verdict for $1.545.67 obtained against
the city. I perfected an appeal to the
Supreme Court and that body reversed
the lower court and remanded the
case back for trial on its merits. When
the case came up again in the District
court the plaintiff amended his pe-
tition to which petition as amended 1
demurred which demurrer was sus-
tained. Mr. Ryan then appealed to the
Supreme Court and that court in its
opinion stated "the plaintiff is entitled
to that portion of his bid that the total
amount of excavation and filling bears
to the total amount estimated."
After coasidering this decision I con-
cluded that it was advisable to settle
the ease and acr dRY n $473.95, he to
prop-
osition to pay Mr.
pay all the court costs in both the
District Court and the Supreme Court,
which costs aggregated about 235.00 of
wh:ch amount $75.75 was payable to the
city.
In order to effect a settlement on the
foregoing basis it was necessary to se-
cure $473.95 cash which amount was
furnished me by the mayor and by me
raid to the clerk of the District Court.
Attached hereto please find Clerk of
Court, Mr. M. J. Mulgrew's receipt.
Alse find hereto attached Clerk's check
for the sum of '175.7:; which the city
receives hack out of sa id $473.95. I
would therefor r!'i,nnn:er.d that this
settlement be approved of by the coun-
cil and that a warrant be ordered
drawn in favor of Mr. C. H. Berg for
the sum of $473.95 to reimburse him in
amount advanced by him for the use of
the city.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.

Your comntitteee on streets to whom

Wilmer Cook for improving West
Chestnut street, and on which the
amount of $200.00 was ordered paid by
the City Council on January 17th, 1901,
beg to report that this estimate is for
75 per cent of the amount due the said
Wilmer Cook under his contract, and
that there would still be a balance of
$100..00 due him after laying the full
amount of the said estimate, which
is amply sufficient to protect the city
and further, that as the said street
has not l' e.1 accepted by the city,
the bondsmen could still be held for
the completion of the work; we would
therefore recommend that a warrant
he ordered drawn on the treasurer for
$129.40 in favor of Wilmer Cook for the
balance due him under said estimate.
Also report in favor of paying the
bill of Vnggenthaler & Ragatz for re-
pairing the steam roller, amounting to

companies, beg to report that we find
said assessment was made in accord-
ance with the law and although we
find a great injustice is being done to
the other taxpayers of the city by this
assessment, still we have no recourse
under the present law; we would there-
fore recommend that the said report
be referred to the city assessor to
make the proper entries against the
above mentioned telephone companies,
and in closing this report, your com-
mittee would recommend that the City
Council memorialize the state legisla-
ture with a view of having the law
amended so that the said telephone
companies will be required to pay taxes
on a fair valuation.

Ald. McLaughlin of the committee of
the whole reported as follows:
Your committee of the whole to
whom was referred the petition of the
fire department, asking for an increase
of wages, would recommend that the
matter be referred to the committee on
fire to formulate a schedule, showing
the number of men now being employ-
ed in the department, in what capacity
they are employed, the wages paid at
present and what amount, in their es-
timation would be fair compensation
for the different positions in the de-
partment.
Also your committee of the whole, to
whom was referred the petition of the
Germania Stock Co., asking for a re-
duction of taxes would recommend that

cordingly.
Also your committee of the whole, to
31 •
whom wag referred the statement of
the award of the jury on the opening
of Lincoln avenue from Jackson to
White streets, would recommend that
the matter be referred to a special
committee composed of the mayor and
Aldermen Sheridan and Horr for fur-
ther investigation.
Also report on the petition of the
Julien House Co., asking that the treas-
urer be instructed to accept payment
on the assessment of $75,000 in full for
the tax of 1900, would recommend that
the valuation be fixed at $87,500 and
that the treasurer be instructed to re-
ceive payment in accordance with this
report.
Your committee of the whole, with a
view of increasing the efficiency of the
fire department, especially in respond-
ing to alarms from the hill district,
on which occasions it is necessary at
present to put two teams on the en-
gine, and as it is impossible to divide
the strain equally between them, one
of the teams is generally rendered un-
fit for service for several days after
such a run; we would therefore recom-
mend that the committee on fire be
authorized to purchase a three horse
hitch for the J. J. Lenihan with all the
necessary appurtenances and also to
make any necessary changes in the
arrangement of the stalls in the Fourth
street engine house.

lot 33 of min. lot 39 had been increased
from $300.00 to $1,000.00 during the same
year, and asking that he be refunded
the erroneous overpayment; beg to re-
port that the valuation of lot 4 min.
lot 21 has not been increased, and still
remains at $2,000.00; on lot 33 of min.
lot 39, however, we find that an error
has been made and we would recom-
mend that the valuation on this last
named lot be placed at $500.00 and the
treasurer instructed to refund the over-
payment.

I: gular Se,sion, March 14th, 1901.
sessed for the year 1900 on Six Hundred
Dollars moneys and credits, and that
he had no money whatever, and ask-
ing therefore that the tax on such
m„neys and credits be canceled, beg
to report that on neither the assess-
ment return, nor the assessment roll
is he charged with moneys and credits;
the assessor having evidently made an
error in making out his tax list, we
would recommend that the prayer of
the petitioner be granted, and that the
treasurer be instructed to cancel the
tax on the aforesaid moneys and
credits.
Your Board of Equalization to whom
was referred the petition of the Du-
buque Brewing and Malting Co., asking
that the City Council instruct the
treasurer to accept their taxes for the
year 1900 in accordance with an or-
dinance adopted by the City Council

chinery and improvements thereon and
appurtenances thereunto belonging, be
fixed at the sum of Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000.00) for the year 1900.

total valuation on the foregoing prop-
erty of Eighty-three Thousand Dol-
lars ($83,000.00).
In addition we would recommend

buque Malting Co. be listed at Seventy
Thousand Dollars ($70.000.00) for the
year 1900, and that the treasurer he
instructed to receive taxes on the fore-
going valuations.

from $800 to $1,400 and asking that the
valuation be reduced to $S00. beg to re-
port that we can find no reason for
the aforesaid increase and would there-
fore recommend that the prayer of the
petition be granted and the treasurer
be instructed accordingly.
Also report on the petition of Amelia
O'Sullivan asking that the valuation on
Lots 5, 6 and 7 of Sub. of Lot 3 of Min.
Lot 91, be placed at $400 for 1900,

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—Your Board of Health at
a meeting held this 14th day of March,
1901, respectfully reports that we have
examined the bills of G. S. Smock, Jos.
H. Berg, Ryder Bros., and Homan &
Roehl, and beg to report as follows.
The bill of G. S. Smock for $125.00 for
fumigating the Windsor hotel, recom-
mend that G. S. Smock be allowed $50
by the Board of Supervisors and that
the City of Dubuque be allowed $15.00
by the board for material paid for by
the city in .said fumigation.
The bill of Jos. H. Berg for compen-
sation for closing the Windsor hotel
during the quarantine on account of
smallpox, amount $1,014.00, would rec-
ommend the payment of $750.00 by the
Board of Supervisors in full settle-
ment of said claim.
Also the bill of Homan & Roehl for
furniture to replace furniture destroy-
ed in the Windsor hotel in consequence
of said reported case of smallpox;
amount $28.90.be paid in full.
Also the bill of Ryder Bros. for tear-
ing off wall paper, etc., in the Wind-
sor hotel, would recommend that it be
referred to the honorable Board of Su-
pervisors without action or recommen-
dation.
Would recommend to your honorable
body that all of said bills be filed with
the county auditor by the mayor, who
is chairman of the Board of Health
with the recommendation from the
council that the bills be paid by the
Board of Supervisors as recommended
and as above set out by your Board

Of the Board of Health.
1 gitlar Session, March 14th, 1901.
AI,I. McLaughlit' moved to adopt the
report. Carried.
Ald. McLaughlin, chairman of the
special committee, to whom was re-
ferred the report of the water works
trustees, reported a.3 follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, March 14th, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—Your special committee
to whom was referred the statement of
the Water Works Trustees for the
period from June 1st, 1900 to December
31st, 1900, beg to report that we have
examined the said statement and find
that the vouchers on file in the office
of the Water Works Trustees, covering
the expenditures for the above named
period, correspond with the amounts
set out in the statement.
Not having full authority in the mat-
ter of buying the supplies, it is im-
possible for us to fully approve the
report. Needless to say, we do not by
this report, mean to cast any reflection
on the honesty or integrity of the
trustees; but when supplies are not
purchased by this Council we have to
rely altogether on the bare figures sub-
mitted in the statement, and therefore
do not feel justified in giving it an un-
qualified approval. We believe a bet-
ter and more satisfactory manner for
them to purchase their supplies, would
be to follow the method employed by
the City Council; that 1s, to advertise
for bids for furnishing material, or
performing labor and open those bids
publicly and award the contract to the
lowest bidder.
We believe that a saving could be ef-
fected for the water works manage•
ment and for the taxayers, whose
agents they are, if the following recom-
mendations were heeded by them:
First. That a competent superin-
tendent employed.
Second. That they remove their of-
fice to the City Hall.
Third. That the telephone in Mr. J.
F. Heer's residence be paid for by that
gentl
e one in his
office is paid man i for himself,
the hWater Works
Trustees.
Fourth. That all street car fare be
paid by the parties using the cars, and
that livery rigs be hired only when ab-
solutaly necessary.
We would also recommend that all
money received by the Water Works
Trustees be deposited with the City
Treasurer in accordance with Section
748 of Chapter 23 of the Code of Iowa,
'and that warrants be drawn on him
for each and every item; that such
warrants bear the same number as
the vouchers they are drawn to cover,
and that each warrant show on its face
the purpose for which it is drawn.
Further we believe that if those in
charge of the water works would take
more pains to give the public com-
prehensive insight into their manage-
ment, they would avoid much unfavor-
able criticism, and receive the credit
due then for much of the really good
work they are doing.
P. H. McLAUGHLIN,
Chairman.
Ald. McLaughlin moved to adopt the
report. Carried.

wherein the old papers and records of
the city were stored was too damp and
was causing destruction of said papers
and records, and stated in his judg-
ment that the present vaults used by
the auditor, treasurer, engineer and
recorder might be enlarged with little
expense, whereby said papers and rec-
ords could be stored and kept from
mildew and decay, as now, in the pres-
ent case of storage.
The matter was referred to the com-
mittee on public grounds and build-
ings.
Ald. McLaughlin inquired about the

ance of the rights and privileges here-
by granted."
Sec. 17 of said ordinance provides:
"The said David H. Ogden, his suc-
cessors and assigns shall cause one of
the cars belonging to said street rail-
way to leave the western terminus

over the road as the business may de-
mand, taking not more than 30 minutes
for each single trip."
On the 4th day of November•, 1889,
the City Council of the City of Du-
buque adopted an ordinance granting
to William L. Allen and Thomas O.
Swiney the rights to maintain and
operate an electric street railway over
and upon certain streets and public
places in the City of Dubuque, with
certain conditions, limitations, and re-
strictions, for a period of twenty -11v
years, which ordinance was duly ac-
cepted by the grantees.
Section 4 of said ordinance provides:
"The cars used shall be of the best
modern style and construction; they
shall be comfortably heated during the
Nvinter months, and shall be at all
times properly lighted and ventilated."
Section 12 of said ordinance provides

on the corner of Locust and Dodge
streets on the south; and all branch
lines cars shall be operated at intervals
of 30 minutes."
Section 23 of said ordinance pro-
vides that "The City of Dubuque re-
serves the right to make all usual and
reasonable police regulations concern-
ing the construction, operation, and
management of said street railway."
On the 15th day of July, 1897, the
City Council of the City of Dubuque
adopted an ordinance granting to the
Dubuque Street Railway Company an
extension of the rights and privileges
theretofore granted in former ordi-
nances, for the period of thirty-three
years from the 25th day of April, 1915,
under certain specified conditions, re-
strictions, and limitations, which or-
dinance was duly accepted by the said
street railway company, such exten-
sion of time was expressly made sub-
ject to all the restrictions, limitations
and conditions contained in the form-
er ordinances granting the rights and
privileges together with the express
condition contained In Section 5 of
this ordinance, which provides "It is
hereby provided that the City Council
reserves the right to regulate the ser-
vice of the Dubuque Street Railway
Company, provided such regulation
shall be reasonable."
This is the license and constitutes a
sufficient exposition of the authority,
for the present purpose, under which
the street car system is being operat-
ed in the city. From these excerpts it
clearly appears that the City Council
in the making of every grant of au-
thority to each and all of the . var-
ious lines of street railway which
now constitute the present street car
system, expressly made it a condition
and one of the terms of the grant that
1
Regular Session, March 21, 1901. i;a
the city council at all times have and
exercise the authority of supervision
over the charactyrr of service rendered
the traveling public by said street car
companies. The city's authority to de-
mand good and efficient car service
from the Union Electric Company (the
successor to all former street railway
companies) is absolute, limited only
by reason. Clear and positive as this
authority is contained in each of those
ordinances, granting rights and priv-
ileges, yet there is no provision made
in any of said ordinances providing
the method to be pursued for the en-
forcement of this authority, nor is
there provision made in any of said
ordinances fixing any penalty against
any of such street railway companies
for the violation of any provision of
any of said ordinances relating to
the proper operation of its cars or the
service rendered the public in the mat-
ter of proper transportation facilities.
The ordinances under and by virtue
of which the street car company is now
operating being contracts between the
city and the street car company no
change can be made in them, but
they must be interpreted and acted up-
on as they were when adopted and ac-
ceuted.
If the street car company is operat-
ing its lines or any of them in viola-
tion of the conditions contained in the
ordinances heretofore referred to that
fact can be judicially ascertained and
determined and adequately remedied.
The most efficient and speedy means
for remedying violative acts by the
street car company, of omission or com-
mission such as are indicated in your
resolution of February 21st, 1901, call-
ing for my opinion, is an action of
Quo Warranto.

walls of the Richardson shoe factory
follows:
Dubuque, Ia., April 3, 1901..
To the Hon. Mayor and City Council of
the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:—In relation to the pres-
ent condition of the walls of the Rich-
ardson shoe factory, corner of Bluff
and Third streets, we beg to report
that we have made a close examina-
tion of the entire building and came to
the conclusion that the south half of
the back wall is in a very dangerous
condition. That there is a crack in
the back wall from the ground floor to
top of the fire wall, which also leaves
the south wall in a very dangerous
condition, as there is no support to
either of those walls, and being top
heavy, out of plumb, and more or less
damaged by fire, we consider them
practically unsafe and in our judgment
the two walls above mentioned should
be condemned.
As those walls are very dangerous to
the surrounding property and to the
people occupying the same, we would
recommend that the alley be fenced off
to protect the public from the present
dangerous condition of the walls.
Respectfully yours,
JOE REINFRIED,
Chief of Fire Department.
WM. P. CARTER,
Street Commissioner.

ter be referred to the mayor, chief

Henry B. Gniffke, city treasurer,
and Thos. H. Duffy, city attorney, re-
ported as follows:
To the Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen—On April 12, 1900, a peti-
tion of Jacob Zangmeister, asking the
council to order the city treasurer to ✓
pay city warrant No. 11,398, dated Sept.
3, 1863, face value $33.90 with interest to
date, was referred to the city treas-
urer and city attorney,
We have found it a very difficult
matter to trace the history of this
warrant, owing to the manner of keep-
ing the records at that time. In the
council proceedings of the date of the
warrant, the separate items for which
money was expended are not enumer-
ated, or any mention made of the per-
sons to whom the money was expend-
ed. We find that certain amounts
were allowed to be paid for road, the
total only being given. We have not
Regular Session, April 4th, 1901. 91
been able to Lind the old stub book. or
any record of the warran 1 s issued.
What we have found seems Io show
that the warrant was •never r.;rid and
that it was regularly and properly is-
sued. That it carne into the possession
of Mr. Frank Wise, who kept a grocer
store at that time, and that he pre-
sented it to the city treasurer at that
d ..te, who had no funds, and so endors-
ed on the back of the warrant. Suit -
sequently, at Mr. Wise's death, all his
property passed into the hands of Mr.
Zangmeister by inheritance and he is
undoubtedly the rightful owner of the
warrant. While in law the warrant
may be void, it is our opinion that a
just debt, as this appears to be, should
never become outlawed; therefore we
believe the city council should order• its
payment.
Respectfully submitted,
Henry B. Gniffke, City Treasurer.
Thos. H. Duffy, City Attorney.
Ald. McLaughlin moved that the re-
port be received and that a warrant
be drawn in favor of Jacob Zang-
meister for $33.90 in full settlement of
claim. Carried.
Ald. Horr reported that a cotton
wood tree on the southwest corner of
10th and Iowa streets was liable to be
blown down and might cause damage
and moved that the sidewalk inspector
be instructed to notify the owner to
remove the same within 10 days and
if not removed at the expiration of the
10 days to remove the tree and charge
the expense to the abutting property
owner. Carried.
Ald. Horr stated that the barbed
wire coils were conspicuous in the
streets and moved that the marshal be
instructed to notify said dealers in
barbed wire to remove all such coils
from the sidewalks. Carried.

OFFICERS REPORTS.
City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Iowa, April 6, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen—At a session of your hon-
orable body held on the 4th inst. you
instructed me to furnish you an opin-
ion on the questions, of what steps it
will be necessary for the city to take
to revoke the rights and privileges
granted to the Eagle Point Ferry and
Street Railway company to operate a
ferry at Eagle Point on the Iowa shore
to a point across the Mississippi river
on the Wisconsin shore, and whether
the city can, in view of the rights and
privileges granted to said concern,
grant a franchise to another person or
company to do a competitive business
at this same point.
This franchise or license was granted
by ordinance of the city of Dubuque
adopted Aug. 13, 1883, for a period of
twenty-five years from that date, and
contained certain conditions, limita-
tions and restrictions. The ordinance
did not, however, provide any method
for the violation of the license granted
for violations of conditions contained
therein
The right of the city to revoke the
license granted is absolute If conditions
of the ordinance have been violated.
The method of revocation most com-
plete would be by quo warranto pro-
ceedings.
Paragraph 26 of section 7 of the char-
ter of the city of Dubuque contains the
grant from the state as follows, to -wit:
1
Reccular Session, April 11, 1901
"The city council shall have the ex.
elusive right to license and regulate
ferries, and to establish the rates of
ferriage between Dubuque and the op-
posite bank of the Mississippi river."
Thus it will be seen that by granting
the exclusive power to license the legis-
lature doubtless designed to provide
that the city alone should exercise
such power. But the power to license
or to license and regulate does not in-
clude the power to create a monoply.
It will be noticed that the state grants
the city of Dubuque the exclusive right
to license and regulate, but does not
grant the city power to grant an ex-
clusive license. Under the ordinance
granting this license there is no evi-
dence of intent upon the part of the
city to grant an exclusive license.
The city can only exercise the au-
thority in this particular that is grant-
ed it by the state, and an ordinance
purporting to grant the exclusive right
to operate a ferry would be void.
Burlington and Henderson County
Ferry Company vs. Devis, 48 Iowa, 133.
Chicago vs. Rumpf, 45 Illinois, 90.
Logan & Sons vs. Page, 43 Iowa, 524.
This is the rule where mere power
to license is conferred.
I, therefore conclude that the city
has the right to grant a license to any
persons, company or corporation to op-
erate a ferry at the place designated
in your inquiry.
THOS. H. DUFFY, City Attorney.
City Attorney Duffy stated that he
had been instructed by the council to
draft an ordinance granting another
franchise for a ferry from Eagle Point
across the Mississippi river to a point
on the Wisconsin shore. but had been
to busy with other matters and as the
old ferry had commenced running he
asked if the council still desired the
said ordinance.
Ald. Frith moved to suspend action
on the ordinance for the present and
the report be received and flied. Car-
ried.
Street Commissioner Carter reported
as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—During the fall of 1900
your honorable body referred to me
with power the matter of placing a
drinking fountain in West Dubuque.
I flnd this cannot be done without
permitting the overflow to run onto
private property; not wishing to as-
sume the sole responsibility for any
damage that may occur thereby, I
would ask that the matter be referred
back to the committee of the whole,
to view the ground and determine
exactly where to locate said fountain.
Very respectfully,
W. P. CARTER,
Street Commissioner.
On motion the report was referred
to the committee on streets and Ald.
Kintzinger.

City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Iowa, April 18, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder-
men of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen—At the last meeting of
your honorable body held on the llth
inst.; you referred to me for opinion
as to how and who should pay the
claims made by persons on account of
recent cases of small pox at the Wind-
sor hotel. Agreeable to above instruc-
tion I submit the following:
Section 1028 of the Code provides
that the local Board of Health shall
make rules and regulations for the
prevention of nuisances and the pre-
servation of the public health as said
Board may judge necessary for the
public health; and shall from time to
time report to said Council ordinances
for carrying such rules and regula-
tions and provisions into effect.
On April 21st. 1898, the City Council
adopted an ordinance making applic-
able Section 1025 to 1043 inclusive and
continuing in effect all ordinances,
rtti.•= and regulations not inconsistent
therewith.
Section 1040 of the Code of Iowa
provides that when any person com-
ing from abroad or residing within
such City shall be infected or lately
wok s—
April lti. 1:101. 111:3
have been infected with small pox or
other sickness dangerous to public
health, the Board shall make provis-
ions in the manner by them deemed
best for the safety of the inhabitance
by removing such sick orinfected person
to a separate house, if it can be done
without injury to his health and by
providing nurses and other assistants
and supplies which shall be charged
to the person himself, his parents, or
other persons liable for his support
if able, otherwise to the county. The
city is thus made by law the guardian
of public health and its duty to stand
as a wall between the inhabitants of
the territory over which it has juris-
diction, and dangerous contageous dis-
eases. The State making it the duty
of the local Board of Health to guard
the public health, designates the par-
ticular political corporation which shall
b?. responsible for the necessary ex-
pense incident to this public guardian-
ship and expressly make that expense
payable by the County.
The action taken by the Board of
Health under the designated limita-
tions creates a liability against the
County and against the County alone.
I hardly think it is a proper function
for the Board to exercise to direct in
what manner the County proceed to
satisfy and discharge this obligation.
I would respectfully report that
when the Board of Health properly
identifies the expenditures incurred
and the same is noted upon the claims
of the different claimants, the duty n°
the Board in the premises has been
fully complied with.
Respectfully submitted.

Aid. Jones, chairman of the commit-
tee on steel cages, reported as follows:
Your special committee appointed to
sul,erintend the erection of the steel
c ags and who were given power to
make such alterations as were rendered
necessary by the introduction of such
cages, beg to report as follows: It was
the intention at the time the contract
was let, to have the eight cages in the
large room built in a block; four on
either Bide, divided by a sheet steel
back. It was found, however, when
the old cells were removed that the
brick wall which divided them was also
the support for the joists and could not
be removed without danger to the
building and quite a heavy expense;
the committee thought it better and
more economical to have the cells cut
in two sections and one section placed
on either side of this wall.
In order to keep the floor clean, it
was decided to have a cement floor
laid under and around the cells and
constructed on such an incline that the
water would readily run off and into
the conduits which we had constructed
to carry it to the sewer. We adver-
tised for bids for doing this work and
received the following bids:
James Lee $106.00
Emil J. Schilling 100.00
Mr. Schilling being the lowest bidder
he was awarded the contract. As the
work progressed it was discovered that
in order to thoroughly flush the floor
some extra work would have to be clone
for which Mr. Schilling was allowed
$38.95 additional.
We had as much of the woodwork
as possible removed from the room,
ceiling, wanscoating, casing, in fact
everything that offered a refuse for
vermin. We then advertised for bids
for plastering and calsomining and re-
ceived the following:
W. H. Chapman $65.00
., F. Hamel 65.00
-It was decided to award the contract
to Mr. Hamel. A door had been rough-
ly cut out at the west end of the brick
wall, to square up which Mr. Hamel
was allowed $1.50 extra.
The gas fixtures also had to be
changed on account of the new condi-
tions. The committee decided not to
use the soil buckets mentioned in the
contract and therefore made a deduc-
tion of $20.00 from the amount to be
paid for the steel cages complete. We
then instructed the City Engineer to
prepare plans and specifications for
water closets for the eight cells in the
large room. Bids were then advertised
for and opened in the committee of the
whole, with the following result:
McDermott & Gow $155.00
Phillip Breithapt 148.00
Pape & Jacquinot .. 170.00
Lenlhan & Molo .................. 215.25
Mullen Bios 165.00
Cleaver & McCarten 217.00
R. Junk .. 154.00
W. J. Nessler 153.50
M. Mullen 153.00
John Mullen 138.25
The committee of the whole referred
the Lids back to the special committee
who awarded the contract to John Mul-
len, he being the lowest bidder; the
style of closets called for in the speci-
fications could not be used on account
of the steel back to the cells and had
to he changed; the contractor made an
extra charge of $9.00 for this. For fail-
ure to vent closets a deduction of $S.00
was made from the contract price.
The committee to prevent cutting
tools, etc. being passed to the prisoners
from the outside, had steel wire
screens of close mesh securely attached
to the windows on the south side of
the building; and in order to keep the
lodgers from tampering with the cells
or their occupants. a steel grating was
constructed about five feet north of the
cells, extending from the floor to the
ceiling and the full width of the room,
with a door at either end.
In the small room two cells were
placed. After they were erected your
committee thought it better not to have
them face the street and therefore had
them changed, which entailed a slight
additional expense.
All the cells were given a double coat
of paint and the staircase, shutters,
doors and windows one coat.
The work throughout is done in a
workmanlike manner and is entirely
satisfactory to the committee.
The following is a complete list of
the expenditures:
Cost of steel cages, $750.00, less
10 soil buckets at $2.00, $20....$ 730 00
Cutting cages in two 50 00
Laying cement floor 100 00
Extra cement work....... 38 95
Carpenter work . 19 25
Plastering and colsomining 65 00
Squaring door in brick wall..... 1 50
Changing gas fixtures .. 14 75
Putting in water closets 130 00
Changing bowls for same 9 00
Steel grating 130 00
Steel wire window screens .. 25 00
Removing old cells, $10.00, less
amount for cleaning cala-
boose, $1.60 18 40
Painting cells and woodwork33 00
Total $1,365 10
We would recommend that a warrant
be ordered drawn on the treasurer in
favor of E. J. Voggenthaler for $195.00,
which amount represents the twenty-
five Der cent held back under the con-
tract until the work was accepted.
We attach all contracts, plans and
specifications connected with the work
to this report.

Chairman.

City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, May 2d, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder-
men of the City of Dubuque:
I hereby report that on yesterday I
caused notice to appear and defend in
the action of John C. Bauer vs. City of
Dubuque to be served on A. A. Cooper,
Sr., the owner of the property on which
the sidewalk on which plaintiff In such
case claims to have been injured, abuts.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Kintzinger moved that the re-
port he received and filed and the act-
ion of the City Attorney be approved.
Carried.
Also the City Attorney reported as
follows:
On the 25th day of April, 1901, you
instructed me to ascertain if a bridge
tax is levied by the County on the
the property in Julien Township, and,
if so, whether the said tax can be
used for building and repairing bridges
within the City of Dubuque, and also
whether part of the tax levied in Jul-
ien Township, by the County, can be
used for repairing streets within the
limits of the City of Dubuque.
Reporting on these propositions I
state as follows:
Section 888 of the Code provides that
"Cities of the first class may annually
levy a tax not exceeding three mills on
a dollar to be known as a city bridge
fund" and Section 758 of the Code pro-
vides that "Cities of the first class
shall have full control of the bridge
fund levied and collected as provided
by law and shall have the right to use
the same for the construction of
bridges, culverts and approaches there-
to, repairing the same, and paying
bridge bonds and interest thereon is-
sued by such city, and shall be lia-
ble for defective construction thereof,
and failure to maintain the same in
safe condition as counties now are
with reference to county bridges, and
no county shall be liable for any such
bridges or injuries caused thereby."
The foregoing sections are made appli-
able to special charter cities and
contained the only authority for levy-
ing a Bridge Fund tax upon property
within the limits of a city of the
flrst class, the fourth subdivision of
Section 1303 of the code expressly pro-
hibiting the Board of Supervisors
from making such levy upon property
subject to assessment within the lim-
Its of a city of the first class.
The records of Dubuque County show
that no such levy was made by the
Board of Supervisors since the year
1896. There is no road tax levied up-
on the property in Julien Township
by the Board of Supervisors or Town-
ship Trustees subject to disbursement
through the City Council of the City of
Du buc.ue.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Sheridan moved that the report
be received with regrets. Carried.
Also reports as follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, April 30th, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder-
men of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At a session of the City
Council held Nov. 2nd, 1896, the report
of a jury appointed under the city or-
dinance to assess the damages caused
by the opening of an alley between
Cleveland avenue and Rush street and
Mountain Lane and Union street was
approved.
(Council Record Book 26, page 285.)
From the action of the council in ap-
proving such report two of the owners,
Bernard May and Wm. Hintrager ap-
pealed to the District Court claiming
that the award of the condemnation
jury was inadequate.
On motion filed by the city the appeal
of Mr. Hintrager was dismissed on
grounds of misjoinder of parties and
as the time for renewing his appeal
had elapsed he wah and is bound by
the award of the jury which condemn-
ed his property. The case presented
to the court and trial jury on May's
appeal was as to whether the award
of the condemnation jury was adequate
to compensate Mr. May for the prop-
erty taken and the trial jury found
that the property taken was worth
$60.00 instead of $50.00 the amount
awarded by the condemnation jury.
This difference in amounts awarded by
the two different juries threw the court
costs on the city.
Since the trial of the May case Mr.
May has died and the property which
\vas the subject of controversy passed
into the hands of Mr. Julius C. Good -
house from whom the city now gets
its title.
Some time ago several of the par-
ties interested in the opening of this
alley petitioned your honorable body
to take such steps as would be neces-
sary to open the alley to public travel
and in compliance with their request
you instructed me to procure deeds
from the owners, who had not there-
fore given deeds, which instruction 1
have followed and herewith submit
the necessary deeds, except a deed
from William Hintrager, which I have
been unable to procure. I attach

Burch the City of Dubuque, in common
with the afflicted relatives, is deeply
grieved:
That as mayor of the City of Du-
buque, during the three terms he oc-
cupied that high office, he at all times
performed his duties with unswerving
fidelity, with strict impartiality and
was wholly uninfluenced in all his acts
by fear or favor, that his ability and
integrity, both as public officer and
private citizen, were never questioned;
that in his sudden death the citizens
of Dubuque have lost a life-long
friend, who was closely identified with
the business life, growth and prosper-
ity of this City up to the moment when
he was so suddenly cut off from a
vigorous mental and physical life, still'
so active and full of business cares;
that we recognise in his death a great
loss to the City of Dubuque, which
cannot be easily Oiled; that we deeply
mourn his death, and extend our sin-
cere sympathy to his afflicted relatives
in this their hour of sadness; and that
these resolutions be spread upon the
records of this City Council and a copy
thereof be sent to his family.

The mayor stated that the city at-
torney was ready to report, whereupon
City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Iowa, May 4th, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder-
men of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—At the last regular ses-
sion of your honorable body you adopt-
ed a resolution ordering the bills pre-
sented by Joseph H. Berg and G. N.
Smock, growing out of the recent
smallpox case, paid out of the gen-
eral fund in the city treasury, in
amounts as follows: $75 00 to Smock
and $750.00 to Berg, and your resolu-
tion further provided "If said sums
are accepted the city attorney is here-
by requested to have executed the
necessary receipts and papers so as to
fully protect this city and report his
doings in writing to this Council."
I would respectfully report that the
portion of the resolution "so as to fully
protect this city" is open to double
construction and not sufficiently spe-
cific in meaning for me to intelligently
act upon.
In view of the opinion which I have
heretofore rendered and to which I
still adhere there is no liability on the
part of the city to those claimants
so that "receipts" and "papers" could
not lessen or remove what does not
exist. If, however, it is not simply
the intent and purpose of
that the pacrt
of the resolution to protectthose
y
against future demands by
claimants but to preserve
the
thus paid by the city,
against the county upon which legal
proceedings for recovery shall in the
future be instituted by the city pre-
sents a very different problem, and
one which will inevitably involve the
city in litigation.
I would therefore suggest that the
resolution be made more specific it.
the particulars herein set out.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.

To the Hon. Mayor and Aldermen of

The attached petition c'omp'a'ning of

Also reported as follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, June 22. 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder-
men of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:—Agreeable to your di-
rections I have investigated the merits
of the attached claim for $12.18, filed
by M. Tschirgi, Jr., and find the facts
relating to sa.d claim to Le as fol-
lows:
On Nov. 9, 1885, the city adopted
"An ordinance grant ng to A. A.
Cooper and B. E. Linehan, their suc-
cessors, associates and assigns, the
right to construct and operate a line
of sewers in the alleys betwe:n Main
and Locust streets, from First to
Eighth streets, and regulat ng the
same."
Section 5 of which o-•di;tance is as
follows: "raid parties may charge for
the right to connect abuttin4 property
tvith said sewers at any titn> during
the construction or upon the com-
pletion of said sewers not to exceed
the sum of sixty-five cen s pe, 1:neal
loot, and the add.t'cnal sum of 8 per
cent. per annum on the rate per foot
hece.n named, to ail uerson: connect-
ing their piping with said sewers
after the compl(tion of the :arae, such
additional sum to be calculated from
the time of completion to the time of
connecting w'th said sewers."
This franchise ordinance was subse-
quent:y ass gned by aid A. A. Cooper
and B. E. Linehan to M. Tschirgi, Jr.,
and on Jan. 26. 1899. said M. Tschirgi,
Jr., transferred his rights in said sew-
ers to the City of Dubu lue subject
to the following reservation., to -wit:
"In consideration of the above trans-
fer as a public sewer the City of Du-
bunue agrees to ray to the said M.
Tschirgi. Jr., one-half of the amount
to be collected from at utters along the
c -
k
v
July 1, 1901. 107
line of said sewers who have not as.
yet connected with said sewers a list
of sa.d abutters being hereto attached
and made a part of this contract. The
amount to be paid by the City only as
collected by the city."
On June 2, 1900, the estate of T.
Kavanaugh had connection made with
the said sewers and there is due from
such estate to the city of Dubuque on
account thereof the sum of $33.x0. On
May 6, 1901, Annie Kavanaugh had
connection made with sa.d sewers and
there is due from her to said city on
account thereof the sum of $31.17.
I would therfore recommend, as
neither of said amounts have been
pa.d, that the city engineer be in-
structed to make both or these parties
so connecting and place such accounts
in the hands of the city marshal for
collection, and that upon his collecting
same and turning the amounts into
the city treasury that warrants be
drawn in favor of M. Tschirgi, Jr.,
for one-half of each of sa.d accounts.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUF'FY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Frith moved that the report he
adopted and the recommendations car-
ried out ai.d the claims of
M. Tschirgi, Jr., in relation to the

Dubuque, July 1, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Agreeable to instruc-
tions received from your honorable
body your ordinance committee and
City Attorney have examined into the
facts and the law applicable to the
attached communication asking that an
amendatory ordinance giving certain
rights and privileges to the Fenelon
Place Elevator company be drafted.
We ascertained that the only ordinance
relative to such elevator company in
force is one adopted July 5, 1893 (Coun-
cil Record 23, Page 97). This ordinance
does not fix a term during which it
shall be in force and effect. It should be
borne in mind that in contemplation
of law this elevator company is a
street railway company.
Section 955 of the Code of Iowa rela-
tive to the granting of franchises to
street railway companies provides,
among other things, as follows: They
may also grant individual or private
corporations the authority to erect,
maintain or purchase railways or street
railway systems for the term of not
more than twenty-five years, and may
renew or extend the term of such
franchise for a period not exceeding
twenty-five years; but no exclusive
franchise shall be thus granted, ex-
tended or renewed, and no franchise
shall be granted or authorized until
after notice of the application thereof
has been published once each week for
four consecutive weeks in some news-
paper published in such city.
Thus far the notice above prescribed
has not been published and the under-
signed therefore return the or$inance
hereinbefore referred to with the rec-
ommendation that the necessary pre-
liminary steps be taken before the
council proceeds to comply with the
request of the company.
Respectfully submitted,
J. W. KINTZINGE1 ,
E. E. FRITH,

Dubuque, Iowa, July 6th, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—The attached petition of.
George Marshall was referred to the
undersigned for investigation and re-
port.
We find that the petitioner is the
owner of Lot Seven (7) of the sub. of
the West 1-2 of Block One (1) in Du-
buque Harbor Company's Add., to the
City of Dubuque.
Our former City Assessor adrof Block
concluded that Lot 7,
176 Regular Session. July 18, 1901.
1, had been subdivided into an East
and West half and placed a valuation
on each of the supposed halves. When
the petitioner paid his taxes he sup-
posed he was paying on all of Lot 7,
when in fact he was paying on only 1-2
of sant lot.
As the said Lot 7, was never divid-
ed and as the valuation placed on each
of said supposed halves was just what
the valuation on the full lot should
have been, we recommend, that the
City redeem Mr. Marshall's said prop-
erty from the tax sale referred to in
his petition.
