The Mayor reported on the West Lo-

Dubuque, Iowa, August 1, 1901.
Gentlemen:—At the regular meeting
of the Council, held July 18th, 1901, you
awarded the contract for constructing
a sanitary sewer in West Locust
street, by only five Aldermen voting
in the affirmative. Previous to
awarding the contract a remonstrance
from nine abutters was read, referred
to the Committee of the Whole, the
rules were suspended and one of the
remonstranstrators in open session ob-
jected to the construction of the san-
itary sewer on said street.
The action of the Council in enter-
taining the remonstrance, and suspend-
ing the rules for that purpose, makes
it necessary in my judgment that a
three -fourth vote of the entire Council
be had to make their action legal.
Not having received the required
three -fourth vote of the Council, I
have not executed the contract for
95
2 94
constructing said sewer on the part of
the City.
C. II. BERG,
Mayor.
Ald. Sheridan moved that the re-
port be received and filed. Carried.
Ald. Sheridan moved that the action
of the Council July 18th, 1901, on the
remonstrance of Patrick Hughes et al
protesting against the construction of
a sanitary sewer on West Locust street
be reconsidered. Carried.
Ald. Horr moved that said remon-
strance be received and filed.
Ald. McLaughlin said he desired the
City Attorney's opinion on the ques-
tion of the legality of the awarding the
contract for the construction of the
West Locust street sewer by the Coun-
cil July 18th, 1901.
Mr. Nelson, the Assistant City At-
torney, being present, stated that in
his opinion the contract vas legally
and properly awarded by the Council,
July 18th, 1901. That there was noth-
ing in the Code of Iowa or the Ordi-
nances of the City of Dubuque re-
quiring a three-fourths vote of the
Council to award a contract. Both the
preliminary and the resolution order-
ing the construction of said sewer had
been passed by a three -fourth vote of
the Council.
Ald. Horr's motion to receive and
file the remonstrance was then car-
ried.

zinger, was suspended and the fol-
lowing gentlemen addressed the Coun-
cil in favor of the construction of the
sewer:

soon as the sale of the bonds for con-
structing the same was vouched for.
Mayor Berg also read the following:
Dubuque, Iowa, August 1, 1901.
Gentlemen of the Council: I have
to inform you that I did not execute
the contract awarded by you at a meet-
ing of the 18th of July for sprinkling
the streets in certain districts of the
City.
My reason for this action is that the
appropriation for sprinkling was not
properly made and is contrary to Sec-
tion 970 of the Code, which provides
that -the Council shall divide the City
into not less than three road districts,
or may make each ward a separate
road district, for the purpose of clean-
ing, sprinkling and repairing the
streets, and provide for the manner of
doing the same and for the payment of
the cost thereof out the district road
fund, and shall determine the amount
necessary for such purpose in each dis-
trict, and make appropriations there-
fore at the time and in the manner in
192 Regular Session, August 1, 1901.
this chapter provided for making ap-
propriations for other purposes.
C. H. BERG, Mayor.

port be adopted and the action of the

lowing vote:

Sheridan. Total 3.
Nayes—Aids. Clancy. Frith, Jones
and Kintzinger. Total 4.

sired to come to some understanding

bonds which it is claimed were illegal-
ly issued and he referred the matter
to the Finance Commitee.

City Attorney's Opinion.
Dubuque, la.. Sept. 5, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:—In compliance with your
motion passed August 22. 1901, instruct-
ing me to submit a written opinion in-
forming your body as to the right of
the city to enter into a contract for the
discovery of property omitted from
taxation I present the following:
Section 1010 of Chapter 14 of the Cocle
of 1897, relative to cities acting under
special charters, provides that "The
council shall have power to levy and
collect taxes for all general and special
purposes in this chapter authorized,
upon all property within the city not
exempted from taxation by the general
laws of the state.'
The same section further prowill,,
11 -
"for the assessing and placing 111)
tax list all property that may have been son as the
omitted, overlooked, brought into the point, and when such property has
city before the levy of said tax. or been fraudulently withheld from as-
otherwise not returned by the a,-
sessor."
This contains the express grant of au-
thority, from the state, to cities acting
unuer special charters, for the t -
ing and placing upon the tax list all
property that niay have been omitted.
overlooked, brought into the city before
the levy or otherwise not rctlrne;l l.y
the assesor.
This general power of coum'ils is to
levy and cause to be assess• •l and col-
lected a tax not merely upon the prop-
erty
p-
erty that is returned for taxation but
upon all property that is subj'ct to
taxation.
This general power is worthless unless
it carries with it the right to use means
efficient for its enforcement.
Public policy demands that every tax-
payer contribute his just pronorti ,n to
the expense of government.
The grant of authority to the city to
place this omitted property upon the
tax list carries wi41 i1 the :1 itlun'ity
to pay for credible information disclos-
ing or unearthing con. 11e11 property.

tive to cities un i r -1,••,•i.d ell:,r:c•rs
provides that ".All i•oporty of in-

and the duty of owner,ntr„lt of gthe

or individual having o
same to assist the assessor in listing
the same, and the penalties for his neg-
lect or refusal so to do, shall be as pro-
vided for in title 7 of t code,
ano not
so far
as the same may be applicable
in contravention of any of the pro-
visions herein, or of the charters of
such cities."
Section 1374 of title seven, referred to,
is as follows:
"When property subject to taxation
is withheld, overlooked, or from any
other cause Is not listed and assessed,
the county treasurer, shall
witl in ape
prised thereof, at any
time years from the date at which such as-
sessment shoulhave

or other party

sessment, there shall be added 1n the
sum found to be due a penalty of 50 per
cent upon the amount, which shall be
included in the judgment. The amount
thus recovered shall be by the treas-
urer apportioned ratably as the taxes
would have been if they had been paid
according to law..'
Whether section 1374 is made appli-
cable to cities acting under special
-charters, by section 1011 as hereinbefore
set out, is a question that has never
been judicially passed upon and is one
upon which lawyers will differ and
which cannot be considered as settled
until ruled up by our supreme court, but
since the contract proposed to be en-
tered into between the city and the
"ferrets" provides that all litigation of
whatever kind or nature shall be prose-
cuted at the expense of the "ferrets"
and without expense to the city, and
they are to receive no compensation
whatever from the city till they cause
to be turned into the treasury fifty
thousand dollars as the result of their
work the city is taking no risk in ac-
cepting this opportunity of having this
question fully and finally determined.
Respectfully submitted.

City Attorney.

received and filed and that it be
published in the council proceedings.
Carried.

$9,000 from the resources of the Young
\Ion's Library Association.
L, view of these facts, the Board of
'rustc,s voted to enter upon the con-
struction of the building as designed,
and have this day signed a contract
tvith Mr. Field as the lowest bidder,
and for the first time have matter
of definite importance to report to
your honorable body.
An examination of the contract will
show that by its terms the Trustees
will secure the erection of the build-
ing in accordance with the approved
plans without the City incurring any
, ost or liability in connection there-
with. 1t will be necessary, however,
that drafts upon the donation made
by Mr. Carnegie be made in accord-
ance with his custom in sucn matters
and we therefore submit this report to
to your Honorable Body, asking for
the adoption of a resolution authoriz-
ing drafts to be drawn upon Mr. Car-

Vice President of the Board of Library
Trustees and to be countersigned by
the Honorable Mayor' of the City.
Very respectfully,

ed, approved and filed; and that all
monies donated to the City of Dubuque
for construction of said Library build-
inb be drawn in accordance with the
desire of the donors, upon drafts
drawn by the President or Vice -Presi-
dent of the Board of Library Trustees,
countersigned by the Mayor of the
City of Dubuque.
Ald. Sheridan moved that the reso-
lution be adopted.
Adopted by a unanimous vote of

Judge O. P. Shiras addressed the
Council and said in part, although the
new library building would cost up-
wards of $72,000 and that Mr. Car-
negie's first donation was but $50,001,
the City of Dubuque would not he put
to any additional expense, as arrange-
ments had been made to raise the ad-
ditional amount from other sources.

original donation $10,000, and that

see that the remainder would be rais-
ed.

Itich reported as follows:
Dubuque, Sept. 5th, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque, Iowa:
gentlemen:—The Board of Library
Trustees of the City of Dubuque have
for some months had under considera-
tion the matter of securing designs,
plans and specifications for the proposed
free library huilcling. Delays haveoccur-
ed much beyond our anticipation or de-
sire but seem to have been unavoida-
ble. About the middle of August, the
full plans and specifications were re-
ceived, and bids thereon were generally
and widely invited, with notice that
said bids would be opened on the third
day of September. A considerable
number of bids were received, many
fur the different sections of the work,
and several fdr the construction as a
Nvhole. The bids were very carefully
tabulated by the Construction Commit-
tee of the Board and the Architects,
and it was found that the lowest bid-
der was John Field, of Omaha, Ne-
braska, whose bid included the whole
work under the plans and specifications
and amounted to $72.117.
The bids and the probable resources
for construction were carefully con-
sidered by the Board of Trustees, and
the members of the Board present
agreed unanimously that at the present
price of material and labor, it was a
fair price for the building contemplat-
ed. And that it would be very unwise,
and indeed very unjust to the people of
Dubuque, for whom this will probablY
be the only structure for library use
for many yetars, to attempt to dwarf
this building in proportion or detract
from its attractions for the public.
In the earlier c•onsid9ration of what
was requisite in a modern library struc-
ture for a community like Dubuque, it
was quickly seen that it was necessary.
if possible, to increase the sum avail-
able for construction. The board
promptly laid this feature of the case
before Mr. Andrew Carnegie, through
Senator Allison, and had his assur-
ance of an increased gift up to $60.000
and contingently of more. The re-
sources for construction the board feel
safe in estimating at least $60,000 cash

Mayor Berg addressed the council as
follows:
Gentlemen of the Council:—This city,
this nation and the whole civilzed
world are stricken with grief because
of the tragic death of the Hon. Wm.
McKinley late president of these Unit-
ed States, at the hands of a foul as-
sassin. A great and good man has
fallen and the world mourns. I hax e
called a special meeting of the city
council 'of the city of Dubuque that
we may on behalf of the city and its
people give formal expression of our
feelings of sorrow, and words of con-
dolence to Mrs. McKinley and in a
fitting way express our abhorrence of
the crime that has brought to an un-
timely end the career of a broad minded,
patriotic statesman, a typical Ameri-
can citizen, a Christian gentleman."
Gentlemen, what is your pleasure?
Whereupon, Ald. Horr offered the
following resolution:
Whereas, Almighty God, who rules
all that is done for human good, has
willed that our late beloved president,
William McKinley, be removed from
the duties of this life and stand with
Lincoln and Garfield in the Temple of
Martyrs; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the life of Presi-
dent McKinley, who, in every station,
whether as private citizen, soldier, or
chief magistrate, unswervingly trod the
pathway of duty, we recognize an ex-
ample of simplicity, purity, and virtue
which are the crowning glories of a
successful public career. That while
watching with the deepest emotion the
appalling tragedy, his patient struggle
for life, and the destined end, we bow
to the Supreme Ruler and repeat after
the president, "It is God's way, His
will, not ours, be done."
Resolved, That in testimony of our
veneration and affection for the illus-
trious dead, the mayor of Dubuque re-
quest all business to be suspended on
the day of the funeral, and private
residences and business houses draped
in mourning; and order the flags on
all municipal buildings to be display-
ed at half mast.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be transmitted to his sorowing
wife, Mrs. Ida McKinley, in assurance
of the profound sympathy of the
citizens of Dubuque in her deep per -
serial affliction and of their sincere
condolence on the late national be-
reavement.
Ald. Horr moved that the resolution
be adopted and that they be properly
engrossed and signed by the Mayor
and attested by the Recorder and sent
to the grief stricken wife, Mrs. Ida
McKinley.
Unanimously carried.
Ald. McLaughlin moved that a war-
rant be ordered drawn in favor of
Mayor Berg for $100, for the purpose
of defraying the expense of the ser-
vices to be held next Thursday, Sept-
ember 19th, 1901 in memory of our
much lamented late President Wm.
McKinley.
l'nanimously carried.
Ald. Horr moved that the city coun-
cil recommend that a. representative
meeting of the jobbers, manufacturers,
hankers, retailers, societies and citizens
in general be called at the rooms of
the Dubuque Retailers association Tues
day, at 11 a. m. for the purpose ..f
advising and arranging for a suitable
program for public memorial services
to be held Thursday, the day of the
burial of our late lamented president,

appoint a committee of three alder-
men to attend said meeting as an
advisory committee: also that the

was adopted:
Your special committee appointed at
the last Council meeting to look up a
suitable site for a hospital for contag-
ious diseases, would respectfully re-
port that Mr. Al. Ithomberg has gener-
ously offered to the City, free of con-
sideration, a half block of ground sit-
uated on the east side of Hickory
street, between Seventeenth and Eigh-
teen streets, on the bank of Lake Pe-
osta. This ground can be reached over
Sixteenth street, and although not a
half mile distant from the City hall, it
is removed some five blocks from the
nearest factory, habitation or thor-
oughfare. The committee inspected
the proffered site and found the ground
slightly elevated, permitting drainage:
the air good and pure. and the water
to be had by a drive well at a nominal
expense. Your committee therefore
recommend this site to the Council as
in their judgment the best that can be
obtained.

Office of the Dubuque, Fire and Ma •
Time Insurance company.
Dubuque, Ia., Sept. 24th, 1901.
Finance Committee of the City Coun-
cil of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—Before leaving for Chi-
cago, I submitted the several proposi-
tions made for assessing (he capital
stock of this company to our principal
Mock holders.
They are all decidedly of the opinion
that in view of the deductions to
which we are entitled for taxes paid
the state of Iowa, and for the stock
in the Office Building company, also
for real estate and other matters that
I explained to you, a basis of $200,000
the same as made by the County, is
.as high as they will concede without
litigation. They claim that even
$200,000 is too high in comparison with
the assessment of other local corpora-
tions. If the basis is made over
•$200,000 our proposition to pay $2,000
in compromise for the taxes now on
the books is withdrawn.
The best I can therefore do is to
renew my proposition made last night,
which is to pay $2,000 in full settle.
ment of the old claim and to assess
the stock at $200,000 for 1901, with a
guarantee on my part that not over
$50,000 shall be claimed as an offset for
individual indebtedness.
Respectfully Submitted,
N. J. SCHRUP,
Secretary.
Whereupon Aid. Horr of the Finance
Committee reported as follows:
Your Committee on Finance would
respectfully recommend the acceptance
of the proposition of the Dubuque Fire
and Marine Insurance company as fix-

cluding 1901: the $2.000 for taxes up to

Dubuque, Iowa, October 14, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder-
men of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: In accordance with in-
structions received, from your honor-
able body, at the last session of the
Council I submit the following opinion
on the question of your right to in-
crease or decrease the salary of any
of the several clerks attached to the
city offices.
• The City Council are the sole judges
of the price that shall be paid by the
city for clerk hire.
They have a right to either increase
or decrease, as their honest judgment
dictates, the salary to be paid any
clerk employed by the city.
What could have raised this question
in the minds of the council must be
Section 944 of the Code of Iowa which
has no application whatever to this
subject but refers to officers of the
city and not to clerks employed by
the city.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.

opinion of the City Attorney be receiv-
ed and filed, and that the recommenda-

Honorable Mayor and City Council.
Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen: Enclosed please find bill
•from the Herald Printing company for
small pox certificates referred to me
by your honorable body. The bill in
.question is correct and I recommend
payment of the same.
When the order for compulsory
-vaccination of school children was is-
sued I was directed by the Board of
'Health to arrange the details of its
•enforcement and in order to insure
thoroughness and uniformity I had
certificates printed as per bill. As
there has been no general vaccination
for many years it did not occur to
me that there were certificates on
hand, especially as large as a number
as were required.
Very Respectfully Yours,
JOHN C. HANCOCK.

Your Committee of the Whole to
whom was referred the petition of
John Schromen et al., asking that the
City use its influence with the Union
Electric Co. to have it grant the same
privileges to the workingmen using
the Eighth street line that are in
vogue on the down town lines, would
recommend that the Union Electric Co.
be requested to grant the desired con-
cession.
Your Committee of the Whole, to
whom was referred the plan and
estimate for steps in the alley from
Fenelon Place to West Third street,
would recommend that the Street Com-
missioner be instructed to have said

recommend that the Mayor be author-
ized to give the Board of Supervisors
a written guarantee of the free use of

P. L. Rood et al., which petition is
hereto attached and made a part of
this report, would recommend that the
Prayer of the petitioners be granted
and that the City Treasurer be in-
structed accordingly. Petition fol-
lows:
To the Honorable. the Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—The undersigned res-
pectfully request that their respective
assessments on national bank stock be
canceled. Petitioners, Mrs. Rood, O.
E. Guernsey and Mrs. Gibbs listed in-
debtedness exceeding the amount of
their respective holdings of national
bank stock under oath before the
Board of Equalization, and also claim-
ed the right of deduction of such in-
debtedness to the Assessor of the city.
C. H. Eighmey listed $26,200 indebted-
ness and claimed the right of reduc-
tion from the national bank stock re-
turned by him. He gave evidence
before the Board of Equalization with
reference to the indebtedness. The
Assessor allowed the deduction of in-
debtedness to be made by petitioners,
but the Council refused to allow the
same as returned. In view of the
decision of the Dubuque District court
holding that the right of reduction
existed, petitioners ask that the tax
records of the city be made to con-
form to their respective assessments
as returned by them in the first in-
stance, and that the taxes levied
against them upon their national bank
stock be cancelled.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. PAULINA L. ROOD,
O. E. GUERNSEY.
MRS. F. L. GIBBS.
C. H. EIGHMEY.
Your Committee of the Whole to
27G Regithir Ses&ion, October 17, 1901.
whom was referred the proposal of
Edwin A. Fengler in relation to right
of way through his premises for an
approach to the Dubuque and Wiscon-
sin Bridge, would recommend that the
said proposition be received and filed.
Your Committee of the Whole would
recommend that the matter of purchas-
ing oversoats and winter caps for such
members of the police force as may
require them, be referred to the Com-
mittee on Police and Light, and that
the sum of $10.00 be allowed by the
city towards defraying the cost of each
overcoat.
Your Committee of the Whole, to
whom was referred the remonstrance
of B. J. O'Neill against the passage of
the ordinance substituting the name of
J. K. Deming. trustee, for that of Geo.
B. Burch, trustee, in Chapter 6S of
the Revised Ordinances of 1901, of the
City of Dubuque, world recommend
that said remonstrance be received and
filed and that the City Attorney be in-
structed to inform the City Council
as to whether or not a forfeiture of
the rights of the Second National Bank
under said Chapter 68 of the Revised
Ordinances of 1901 has been worked by
reason of the non -operation of a fac-
tory in the "Dee Basket Factory"
within the time specified in said Chap-
ter 68 and the subsequent extensions.
We would further recommend that
the City Recorder be instructed to no-
tify Mr. L. W. Johnson, the prospec-
tive tenant of said factory that in the
event of the City Attorney deciding
that the rights of the Second National
Bank have been forfeited, that the
City will give him the same or better
terms than those proposed by the said
bank.
J. W. KINTZINGER.
Chairman.
Ald. Kintzinger moved to adopt the
reports of the Committee of the Whole.
Carried.
Ald. Kintzinger asked the Mayor if
he had signed the ordinances, one en-
titled an ordinance to amend Sec-
tion 11 of Chapter LVI. of the Revised
Ordinances of 1901, of the City of Du-
buque, by striking out of the eight
line of said Section the word "two"
and inserting the word five" in lieu
thereof.
The other entitled an ordinance au-
thorizing the City of Dubuque to en-
ter into a contract providing for the
discovery of property that may have
been omitted, overlooked, or otherwise
not returned by the Assessor, and for
the listing of such property and the
collection of taxes thereon.
Mayor Berg replied that he had not
signed either of said Ordinances, the
main reason for not sigi.ing the latter,
or "tax ferret ordinance so-called, was
because Ald. Kintzinger making the
report of the Committee of the Whole,
recommending the several amendments
to said ordinance, did not move to have
report adopted, and that there was no
vote taken on the report of the Com-
mittee of the Whole, therefo:e
the report of the committee
was not adopted. Also said.
that he did not desire to veto the
Ordinance but wished to call the at-
tention of the Council to the proceeding
had Oct. 3d, 1901. in relation to sail
Ordinance, because it is an important
Ordinance and he wanted it to protect
beth the City and tax agents, an 1
that if the Ordinance suited the Coun-
cil he had nothing more to say.
City Attorney Duffy read the Council
proceedings of Oct. 3d, as printed and
decided the Ordinance was legally.
adopted.
Aid. Kintzinger said he would post-
pone the presentation of the contract
between the City of Dubuque and the
tax agents until the next session of the
Council.
Ald. McLaugh'in of the Bu
Health, moved that the bi referred

the various watchmen at quarantined
small pox places and the bills of John
Veeiker for fumigating he paid and

Proper resolution for the issuance of
Bonds to pay for the construction of
a sanitary sewer in Rest Locust
' street from C'au•l: street to Union
avenue, and the City Engineer be in-
structed to give the necessary descrip-
tion of property. Curried.
Ald. Jones asked that the Commit-
tee
ommi-
tee on Public Grounds and Buildings
be instructed to have the Armory hall
in the Ninth street engine house re-
paired.
Ald. Kintzinger moved that the re-
pair of the Armory be referred to the
Committee on Public Grounds and
Buildings with rower and the expensr
for said repairs not to exceed $40.00.
Carried. •

Mayor Berg called for a report from
the City Attorney.
Whereupon City Attorney Duffy re-
ported as follows:
IZeegular Session. November 7, 1901.
Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 21, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:—In compliance with a
motion adopted, at a tneeting of the
committee of the whole, on October 16,
1901, directing me to ascertain and
make report whether the Second Na-
tional Bank had forfeited the rights
acquired under and by virtue of an or-
dinance adopted by the City October
5th, 1896, granting to George B. Burch,
trustee, the right to maintain and op-
erate a factory on part of Lot 2 of
Mineral Lot 106 in the City of Du-
buque, Iowa, which rights had been by
the City Council extended till October
1st, 1901, I would respectfully submit
the following:
The facts upon which this opinion
rests are meagre and indefinite since
the motion calling for this opinion was
not presented in writing but must be
reproduced from the memory of the
assistat city attorney who attended
/hat meeting of the committee of the
whole where a general discussion of
the subject was in progress at the time
the motion was offered.
if then, I am correct in my assump-
tion that this inquiry is limited to a
determination of the question as to
whether a forfeiture of the rights and
privileges granted under the ordinance
hereinbefore referred to, since the 1st
day of October, 1901. has operated by
reason of the fact that the grantee had
not upon that date a factory in actual
operation upon the premises as required
by the terms of said ordinance I would
state, that an examination of the coun-
cil proceedings shows that, at an ad-
journed regular session of the City
Council held September 20th, 1901, the
following proceedings were had:
"A communication from the Second
National Bank asking that the name of
J. K. Deming be substituted for that
of Geo. B. Burch, as trustee for said
bank in an ordinance adopted October
5th, 1S96, in relation to the Dee Basket
factory and that the said trustee (J.
K. Deming) be granted until the 1st
clay of January, 1902, to iiegin to oper-
ate the plant, and that the said Deming
be permitted to grant to L. 1C. Johnson
or his assigns. by lease or otherwise,
the rights which are grante,1 to him
by said ordinance. All. 1. Kintzinger
moved to grant the privileges asked
and that the Ordinance committee and
city attorney be instructed to draft the
necessary ordinances. Carried."
From this it clearly appears that the
bank which had certain equities in the
premises took steps to securely con-
tinue and preserve those equities. It
was, unquestionably within the author-
ity of the Council to extend the time
limit, and the proper manner of doing
so was by ordinance as indicated in the
motion.
If a consideration for this extension
of time has been parted with by the
bank, either directly to the city, or in
the form of expenditures upon the
premises, made in view of a reliance
placed in such action of the Council,
a court of equity would enforce the ex-
tension of the time limit to the date
fixed in such resolution. But as to
aahether the improvements and expen-
291
ditures, mentioned during the discus-
sion of this subject, on October 17th,
when your motion was made referring
this question to my office, partake of
the character that would constitute
them a good consideration for such ex-
tension, my information both as to the
nature of the improvements and the
time when they were made, is not suf-
ficiently definite for me to intelligently
pass upon that phase of the question;
nor is it necessary for the present pur-
pose that I should present any findings
upon that feature of the proposition as
will appear from my final conclusion.
It evidently was the intention of the
City, though not clearly stated, to pro-
vide by the forfeiture clause of said
ordinance that if at any time during
the continuance of the lease the bank
should fail, for a period of six months,
to operate said premises for manu-
facturing purposes a forfeiture of the
grant should thereby work.
If during the said time limit, or a
proper extension thereof, the grantee,
as is claimed, had a lease placing his
machinery in position upon the prem-
ises, In good faith, for the purpose of
engaging in a manufacturing enter-
prise, it is my opinion this would be a
substantial compliance with the re-
quirements of the provisions of the
ordinance, since forfeitures are not
favored by the courts: and it is my
final conclusion that the City Council
has not the authority, in and of itself,
to declare a forfeiture of this char-
acter, but must invoke the decree of
a competent court to determine and es-
tablish that fact.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
On motion the report of the city at-
torney was ordered received and filed.
Ald. Kintzinger moved that the or-

The special assessment about which
complaint is made were levied in the

fray- the expenses of certain streets. al-

inally issued in denominations of one
thousand dollars, anti whereas bonds
of this denomination have proven
themselves to be both inconvenient
and uneconomical for the city. as it is
impossific to call in these bonds un-
til the full amount of their face has
been collected from the abutter, and as
it often happens that large amounts:

cumulates in the hands of the treas-
urer and must be held by him and can-
not be utilized. therefore be it resolved,
that under and by virtue of the ordi-
nances of the City of Dubuque and the
powers conferred upon said city by
Sections S4S and 549. Chapter S. Title
V., Code of Iowa of 1S97. certain bonds
hereinafter mentioned be refunded,

tion of two hundred and fifty dollars

Assistant City Attorney Nelscn re-
ported as follows:
Dubuque. Nov. 21, 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—In compliance with the
requirements of your motion of the
14th instant referring to the City
Assessor and myself the subject of
Railroad Taxation, for report, I re-
spectfully present the following with-
out the acquiescence of the City As-
sessor:
The City's right to levy and collect
taxes is derived from the State
through an express grant of authority
and the scope of this authority is
limited and prescribed by the express
terms of this grant. Section 1010 of
the Code authorizes the City to levy
and collect taxes (fur all general and
special purposes in this chapter au-
thorizes) upon all property within the
City not exempt from taxation by the
general laws of the State.
Code Sections 1334, 1335, 1333 provides
the method of assessing the property
of Railway companies by the state ex-
ecutive council, and Code Section 1333
fixes such assessments as constituting
the taxable value of such property
308 Regular Session, November 21, 1901.
for taxing purposes: and Code Sec-
tion 1339 makes all such railway prop-
erty taxable upon said assessment at
the same rates by the same officers and
for the same purposes as the property
of individuals.
I therefore conclude that the City is
bound by the asae.sment made by the
state executive council and must make
its levy upon the assessed valuation
returned by the County Auditor under
the terms of Code Section 1338 and
upon no other basis.
Respectfully Submitted,

Ald. Jones moved a subtsitute to the
subtsitute that the report be received

Ald. McLaughlin presented and read
a minority report of the Committcc
of the Whole.
The minority report follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 21. 1901.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen.—The undersigned, a mi-
nority of the Committee of the Whole.
would most respectfully submit the
following minority report on the "Tax
Ferret" contract and ask that it be
adopted in lieu of the report of the
report of said committee for the fol-
lowing reasons:
1. While we do not believe that the
tax dodger should be allowed to evade
the payment of his taxes, still we con-
sider it a part of justice that niriely-
nine guilty men should escape rather
than that one innocent man be made
to suffer; and there is not the slight-
est doubt that the contract now exist-
ing between the County of Dubuque
and the Tax Ferrets has wrought
hardship to many persons, some of
whom are in very meager circumstan-
ces.
2. The Tax Ferrets have been em-
ployed by the County, and under this
contract they are permitted to assess
concealed property for a period of five
years back. To the regular assess-
ments, they add a penalty of 50 per
cent., and on top of all they charge 6
per cent. interest. Should the City
employ them, they would make the
same charges against those same in-
dividuals, thus doubling the penalty
merely because a person happens to
live within the corporation limits.
3. Without meaning to cast any re-
flection on the honesty and integrity
of the gentlemen to whom it has been
proposed to grant this contract, it is
clear that there is no means by which
we can ascertain whether or not all
Regular Session, December 5, 1901. 325
the concealed property which they dis-
cover will be placed on the tax list;
such being the case, collusion between
the tax dodger and the tax ferret
would be possible; in which case it
naturally would be the large and not
the small evader that would be im-
plicated.
4. The taxes on concealed property
cannot be collected until charged on
the books of the treasurer, and then
become ' public property; the written
evidence that such concealed property
exists, forms part of the records of the
County and is also public property.
The people of the City of Dubuque,
paying as they do a large share of the
total tax of Dubuque County are en-
titled to any information that has been
discovered in this line without further
expense.
5. Since the information necessary to
secure the taxes on concealed property
belongs to the public, the City Asses-
sors, who are sworn officers, can read-
ily secure the same and the City Coun-
cil having the matter under its con-
trol, can exercise clemency, where jus-
tice requires it and also compel the
wealthy tax dodger to bear his fair
share of the burden of taxation, and
would therefore recommend that the
City Treasurer be instructed to collect
all back taxes.
Ald. McLaughlin moved to adopt the
minority report.
Lost by the following vote:
Ayes—Aids. Clancy, Jones and Mc-
Laughlin. Total 3.
Nayes—Alds. Frith, Horr, Kintzinger

ple was carried by the following vote:

Total, 2.
Ald. Horr moved to reconsider the
action of the Council at its last ses-
sion. November 21st, 1901, in relation
to the petition of the Ernsdorff Buggy
Company asking that the alley be va-
cated between Elm and Pine streets
and Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets.
Carried.
Ald. Horr moved the following in
lieu of the former action of the Coun-
cil:
I move that the action of the City
Council at its last session in so far
as granting the Ernsdorff Buggy Com-
pany the exclusive right to the alley
between Elm and Pine streets and
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets be
amended to read as follows: That
the abutting property owners be grant-
ed the exclusive use of said alley for
the purpose of erecting manufacturing
buildings . or warehouses thereon, or
for such other purpose as they may
deem necessary in connection with
their business as manufacturers.
This privilege is granted with the
distinct understanding that the City
does not relinquish title in said alley
and is to be in force only while said
abutting property is being used for
manufacturing purposes.
Carried unanimously.

City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque. Iowa. December 19. 1931.
To the City Council of the City of Du-
buque: Gentlemen:
You have referred to the Mayor and
City attorney, for investigation and
report. the fol owing questions relative
to the Bee Branch sewer:
First—Has the city the right to con-
struct a storm -water sewer across the
right-of-way, of the Chicago Great
Western company, from Rhomberg
avenue to Garfield avenue?
Second—Has the city the right to
compel the railway company to con-
struct such sewer or to assess the cost
of construction against the property
of the railway company?
Third—If the city shall construct the
sewer under the road -bed of said
railway company what character of
culvert must it build under said road-
bed?
In company with Mayor Berg we
visited the premises in question and
I would respectfully report as follows:
First—The city has the authority,
under section 960 of the code, to pass
through private property and condemn
the same for the purpose of deepen-
ing, widening, straightening, walling,
filling, covering, altering or changing
the channel of any water -course or
part thereof flowing through the city-
Second—The city has the right to
assess against abutting property bene-
fited by such improvement, so much of
the cost thereof as shall not exceed
the benefits and not to exceed the sum
of three dollars per lineal foot thereof.
But the assessments shall be uniform
upon all the abutting property benefit-
ed by the improvement and the prop-
erty of one person, firm or corporation
cannot be specially assessed and all
the other property equally benefited be
exempted from special assessment.
The city has not authority to compel
the railway company to construct this
server through its private property.
Third—The sewer must be construct-
ed so as to leave the railway com-
pany in possession of the full enjoy-
ment of its property in the uses and
purposes for which it 15 devoted.
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.

RESOLUTIONS.
Ald. Horr of the Finance Committee
offered the following resolution:
Whereas a number of the improve-
ment bonds of the city issued to de-
fray the expenses of certain streets, al-
leys and other improvements made
along and in front of the abutting
property benefited thereby were orig-
inally isued in denominations of one
thousand dollars, and whereas bonds
of this denomination have prover.
themselves to be both inconvenient and
uneconomical for the city, as it is im-
possible to call in these bonds until
the full amount of their face has been
collected from the abutter, and as it
often happens that large amounts;
but less than a thousand dollars ac-
cumulates in the hands of the treas-
urer and must be held by him and can-
not be utilized, therefore be it resolved,
that under and by virtue of the ordi-
nances of the City of Dubuque and th
powers conferred upon said city b

REPORTS OF STANDING COMMIT-
TEES.
Ald. Horr of the Finance Committee
reported as follows:
Your Committee on Finance begs to
report that Mr. L. A. Rhomberg ap-
peared before it and submitted the
following proposition: That of the
City will cancel so much of the special
assessment against his property as
was levied for the improvement of var-
ious intersections on Rhomberg avenue
not including those for which he has
already paid, he is willing to pay the
balance of said assessment with inter-
est. After giving this matter due
consideration, we have come to the
conclusion that as the owners of all
other corner lots in the city have been
assessed with the cost of improving
intersections, the granting of this re-
quest would be a discrimination, and
would also establish a precedent that
would result in trouble and loss to the
city. We would therefore recommend
that the above mentioned proposition
be not accepted.
Also, your Committee on Finance, to
whom was referred the communication
of F. B. Hoffman, City Auditor, in re-
lation to a block of 6 per cent. bonds
amounting to $15,400 00, and becoming
due February 1, 1902, begs to report
that a meeting of this committee was
held December 27, 1901, at which the
City Treasurer was instructed to ad-
vertise for bids for refunding the above
mentioned bonds, which bids are to be
in January 9, 1902.
On account of the amount of cor-
respondence involved, and the limited
space of time elapsing before these
bonds become due, we would recom-
mend that the matter be referred to
this committee with full power.
JOSEPH L. HORR.
Ald. Horr moved to adopt the report
of the Finance Committee. Carried.
Ald. Frith, Chairman of the Street
Committee reported as follows:
Your Committee on Streets would
respectfully state that they have ex-
amined the work done by O. G. Krin-
gle, contractor, for the improvement
of Angella street from Pierce street to
the east line of lots 11 and 18 of Quig-
ley's sub, of out lot 709. In consider-
ation that the city will retain from
said O. G. Kringle the sum of $200.00
as a guarantee that the said O. G.
Kringle will place said street in con-
dition to roll same when the weather
will permit, we would recommend
that the said work be accepted by the
city.

with power. Carried.
Ald. Frith. chairman of the Com-
mittee on Markets, reported as fol-
lows:
Your Committee on Markets begs to
report that upon investigation they
find that Noel & Wagner were acting
as city weighers in accordance with
the information that they had received
from their predecessors, and with no
intention of usurping a position that
did not belong to them.
As we consider a hog scales in this
vicinity a necessity. we recommend to
his honor. the Mayor, that one of the
members of the above named firm be
appointed city weigher, with the un-
derstanding that they are to remove
the weighing platform at the end of
the hog weighing season; that is, about
March 1, 1902.
In accordance with the foregoing
recommendation, J. B. Noel was sworn
in by the Mayor on December 21, 1901,
as city weigher.

Also find Treasurer's receipt for $3 36

Would respectfully recommend that

Ald. Clancy, chairman of the Com-
mittee on Fire reported as follows:
Your Committee on Fire begs to re-
port that on Sunday, December 22,
1901, about 8 o'clock p. m., the steamer
J. J. Linehan was considerably dam-
aged while proceeding along Alpine
street, in answer to an alarm for fire.
Upon investigation, it was found that
the street at the place where the ac-
cident occurred, is rather sidling and
was at the time very slippery; so that
when the driver was compelled to
leave the street car track, the heavy
engine swerved and slid against the
curb, striking It with sufficient force
to throw it. The damaged parts of
Regular Session, January 2, 1902. 7
the engine were sent into the makers
without delay, and we hope to have
everything in good repair again with-

cumstances, and therefore attach no
blame to anybody.

on Sewers, reported as follows:
Your Committee on Sewers, beg to
report that we have examined the
sanitary sewer in Fourth street from

factory, Steuck & Lenihan, contractors

said sewer be accepted and that a
special assessmnet be levied against

Committe on Finance be instructed to
provide for the payment of the same.

drew Ring, asking that so much of the
special assessment against Lot 209
Union addition, as was levied to de-
fray its proportion of the cost of im-
proving the intersection of Rush and
Union streets be canceled, begs to re-
port, that on account of the subsequent
vacation of Union street by the city,
lot 209 is no longer a corner lot; and

structed to reduce the amount of said

lay.

to whom was referred the petition of
the Dubuque Altar company, askin:I
that the C. G. W. R. R. company

the St. Joseph's Mercy hospital, by
Sister Mary Pius, president, asking
that portion of Peabody avenue be-
tween James street and a point 223
feet east of said James street be va-
cated, would recommend that the
prayer of the petition be granted, pro-

City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Ia., Jan. 22, 1902.
To the Hon. Mayor and Aldermen of
the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:—Reporting on the annexed
communication, presented to the Coun-
cil by John Long, and by the Council
referred to me for an opinion, I submit
the following:
On November 5th, 1894 (Book 24, Page
29) a marshal's jury appointed to assess
the damages to property caused by the
widening of White street between 23d
and 24th streets, awarded $35.00 damages
to the owner of Lot 268, which lot abuts
on said White street. The City Coun-
cil approved of the award of said jury,
but because of the fact that a barn
would have to be moved, at his ex-
pense, the owner of the property re-
fused, at the time, to accept the war-
rant drawn as per award of the jury.
After such warrant had remained in the
possession of the auditor for some con-
siderable time the Counicl ordered it
canceled, and thus far the property
owner has not received the $35.00.
From the understanding which I have
had with a representative of the owner
of the property, the barn will be moved
off the sidewalk, where it now is, and
the award of the jury accepted as soon
as a new warrant for $35.00 is ordered
drawn by the Council. Wherefore I
would recommend that a warrant for
$35.00 be drawn in favor of John Long,
such warrant to be delivered to him
upon satisfactory proof to the mayor
that the barn heretofore referred to
has been moved off the sidewalk.
Respectfully submitted.
THOS. H. DUFFY,

Ald. Frith moved to adopt the report

Dubuque, Ia., Jan. 31st, 1902.
To the Hon. Mayor and Aldermen of

Locust street owned by Mr. E. H.
Sheppley, is liable for the special as-
sessment recently levied against it to

sessment and I therefore recommend
that Mr. Shepply's communication to
the Council be received and flied.
Respectfully submitted.

OFFICERS' REPORTS.

follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, March 5th, 1902.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque:
Gent:emen:—Your Commitee on
Claims and City Attorney to whotn
were referred for report, the annexed.
statements of judgment • respectfully
submit the following: Exhibits, A. D.
C. and D. are on account of judg-
ment for cost rendered against the
City in special assessment cases in
which the City was enjoined by the
District Court, from selling the proper-
ties of the plaintiffs to collect the cost
of the improvement of the streets
abutting such property.
In these cases the Mayor failed to
sign the resolutions ordering the im-
provement.
The trial court, following several
rulings of the Supreme court in like
cases, found that such pretend-
ed resolutions without the sig-
nature of the Mayor, no resolution
and that all acts done under it were
without authority in law, and that
therefore the plaintiffs were entitled
to the relief sought and to judgment
for cost.
Exhibit "E" is on account of judg-
ment for cost against the city in an
action brought to have cancelled cer-
tain taxes, on personal property,
charged to the plaintiff.
He claimed the right to deduct from
such personal property his liabilities.
The City Council denied this right.
On application to the District Court
his contention was sustained, tnd
judgment rendered against the City
for costs.
Wherefore we would recommend
6 ; Regular Session, March 6, 1902.
that a warrant, in the sum of $130.10
the aggregate amount of the above
referred to statements for judgments,
be drawn in favor of M. J. Mulgrew,

these claims.

To the Honorable Mayor and A:dcr-

Gentlemen:—Attached hereto see
statement of judgment in case of Al.
Tschirgi vs. City of Dubuque.
is an action brought to recover
ment against the City on account of
balance due for grading Rush street.
At the October term, 1901, after some
of the evidence had been introduced,
[ settled this case, allowing plaintiff
to take judgment for $350.00, with In-
terest from December 3rd, 1901 ,and
for costs. As the City could not dis-
prove the c:aim of plaintiff, and as
this settlement saved the city about
$100.00, I recommend that a warrant
be drawn in favor of M. J. Mulgtew,
Clerk of the District Court for lne
sum of $412.25 to pay said judgment
and costs.

lowing. This claim is for costs in a

enjoined the City from collecting the

favor of M. J. Mu'grew, Clerk of the
District Court to pay these costs.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Anril 10, 1902.
To the Hon. Mayor and Aldermen of
the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Attached hereto find
statement of judgment in case of F.
D. Lyman vs. City of Dubuque. In
this action the plaintiff sought to re-
cover from the city the sum of $5,000.00
on account of personal injuries receiv-
ed by him in slipping, tripping and
falling on a rough, rounded and un-
even formation of ice and snow which
had been allowed to remain for a con-
siderable time on the sidewalk in front
of store building No. 544 Main street.
Case was tried to jury at the Octo-
ber term, 1901, of the District court,
and a verdict for $769.00 was returned
against the defendant. After the ver-
dict I caIIed a meeting of the Claims
Committee, with the mayor, when it
was decided that, as the injuries to
the plaintiff were severe and perma-
nent and the verdict, under the cir-
cumstances, a small one, that the city
should not appeal the case.
I therefore recommend that warrants
be drawn in favor of M. J. Mulgrew,
Clerk of the District Court, for the
sum of $919.93, this being the full
amount now due, it including interest
and court costs.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Sheridan moved that the report
be adopted and warrants ordered
drawn in accordance with the report.
Carried.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Ald. Kintzinger, chairman of the
Committee of the Whole, reported a
recommendation that the city attor-
ney draft an amendment to the ordi-
nance relating to the appointment of a
chief of police so that the appointment
be made at the last regular meeting in
April instead of the second regular
meeting after the city election.
City Attorney Duffy said he did not
think it was advisable to make this
amendment at this time. He stated
the ordinance was defective in another
particular and ought to be remedied
before the appointment was made.
Ald. Kintzinger asked in what par-
ticular the ordinance was defective,
but the city attorney did not enlight-
en the council, although he said he
could do so if they so wished.
The city attorney is of the opinion
that the ordinance Is defective in pro-
viding for the approval of the appoint-
ment by the council. He holds that
the mayor has the sole power of ap-
pointment and that the council is with-
out authority in the matter.
The council adopted the report of the
Committee of the Whole instructing
the city attorney to draft the proposed
amendment, by the following vote:
Ayes—Alds. Clancy, Frith, Horr,
Jones, Kintzinger and Sheridan. To-
tol 6.
Absent—Ald. McLaughlin.
When the city attorney had com-
pleted the draft of the ordinance, Ald.
Kintzinger, chairman of the Ordinance
Committee, presented the ordinance'
and moved that it be read for the first
time. Carried by the following vote:
Ayes—Alds. CIancy, Frith, Horr,
Jones, Kintzinger and Sheridan. To-
tal 6.
Absent—Ald. McLaughlin.
The ordinance was then read.
And. Kintzinger moved that the rules-
be suspended for the purpose of read-
ing the ordinance the second time.
Carried by the following vote:
Ayes. Alds. Clancy, Frith, Horr,
Jones, Kintzinger and Sheridan. To-
tal 6.
Absent—Ald. McLaughlin.
The ordinance was read the second
time.
Ald. Kintzinger moved that the ordi-
nance be alopted as read.
Carried by the following vote:
Ayes—Alds. Clancy, Frith, Herr,
Jones, Kintzinger and Sheridan. To-

Adjourned Regular Session, April 10, 1902.
Ald. Kintzinger moved that all the
candidates receiving a majority or a
plurality of the votes cast be declared
elected. Carried.
Mayor Berg then read his valedictory
and inaugural address, which follows:
Gentlemen of the Council:
It is customary at the beginning of
each year for the mayor to say some-
thing about what has been done by
the council during the past year, and
make suggestions concerning the fu-
ture. Following this custom I will
briefly review some of the work that
has been done during the past year.
When the appropriations for the fis-
cal year commencing March 1st, 1901,
were made, $25,000.00 were appropriated
for constructing an approach to the
proposed new Dubuque and Wisconsin
high bridge. At that time it seem-
ed doubtful to the members of the
council that the bridge would be com-
menced during the year. But not-
withstanding these doubts, the enter-
prising gentlemen of that company
commenced the work and have about
completed the structure, and the city
has built a substantial approach and
abutment, at a cost of about $20 000.00.
The Bee Branch sewer was extended
up to and across Eagle Point avenue,
at a cost of about $15,000.00. The
Dodge street storm water sewer has
been completed to the river at a cost
of about $6,000.00.
The approach to the bridge and the
Dodge street sewer -are completed, but
the Bee branch sewer needs further at-
tention, especially that part of it cross-
ing the Chicago Great Western rail-
way. This portion of the sewer should.
be completed before any further exten-
sion north is commenced. If neglect-
ed, the city may become involved in
serious trouble with adjoining property
holders, on account of damage that
may be sustained by them.
The city calaboose has been re-
modeled, and new steel cages placed
therein, and this department is now
in excellent condition.
The public parks have been well
taken care of during the year.
Our principal streets are all in good
condition.
The fire department, as usual, nas
been most efficient, consequently no
serious loss by fire has occurred dur-
ing the year. For the work done I
respectfully refer you to the report
of the chief of that department.
The police department has been
vigilant. Being situated at the cor-
ner of three states, on the river, and
on the lines of four railroads, we are
subject to incursions by law -breaking
classes and tramps of all kinds with
whom it is difficult to cope. The ab-
solute suppression of crime is impos-
sible, but our community has been
comparatively peaceful; and my in-
vestigation into the police departments
and records of other cities, convinces
101
me that our own compares most fa-
vorably with all others. In Marcn
an order was issued from the mayor's
office relating to the government of the
saloons. This has been strictly ob-
served and will continue to be enforced
during my incumbency of the mayor's
office.
The board of health has had a great
deal of trouble, occasioned by the
prevalence of small pox, but the con-
tagion is now about stamped out.
Prior to the completion of the Deten-
tion hospital, the board had much fric-
tion with persons violating its rules.
In fact, the board has been in trouble
all the time in attempting to enforce
the. ordinances in relation to throwing
garbage and other refuse matter on
the streets and alleys. I take this
opportunity to appeal to all our citi-
zens of every class to co-operate with
the board of health in making Du-
buque a clean and healthy city.
Every citizen should subordinate
small individual interests to the pub-
lic good.
The water supply the past year has
been good and pure.
The financial standing of the city
has never been better than now. Our
bonds and loan warrants are in de-
mand at home and abroad. (I refer
you to the finance report for full par-
ticulars in regard to the outstanding
debt of the city and the low rate of
interest thereon.)
In conclusion, I desire to express to
you, gentlemen, and all the various de-
partments, my sincere thanks and ap-
preciation for the aid given me in the
administration of the city's affairs. I
have endeavored to do the best I could
for Dubuque. Its interests are near
my heart. If mistakes have been
made, it was an error of judgment awl
not of purpose.
In entering upon my duties, for the
new term, I desire to express my pro-
found appreciation of the honor con-
ferred upon me by the people of Du-
buque, and assure them of my earnest
purpose to be faithful to the trusts
they have reposed in me, and ask you,
gentlemen, to give me the same aid
that has been so generously extended
heretofore.
C. H. BERG,
Mayor.
April 10, 1902.
Kintzinger Saye Farewell.
Ald. Kintzinger, the retiring council-
man from the Fourth ward, addressed
the meeting as follows:
"It is customary to say a word before
going out and I wish to say I am grati-
fied to his
council and toe have en a mem
r partthin

provements the past two years which

of the heart. I am very grateful to
all members of the council for many
courtesies extended to me. This coun-
cil has been one of the most harmoni-
ous that I have ever heard of. For
the entire two years we were almost
a unit on every question. I thank the
members of the council and those of
the various city departments and also
the mayor for many kindnesses ex-
tended to me."
On behalf of the council Mayor Berg
replied that their relations with Ald.
Kintzinger had always been most cor-

City Attorl1 y.
Dubuque. Iowa, Feb. 8, 1912.
To the I-ionorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of 1ttthn,111e:
t;enllern e—.\t a meeting of the com-
n•ittee c.I' tlae whole on the 31st ult., you
11;r1,11.itu d to my o11'iee for opinion a
different phase of the Peabody avenue
matter, to -wit: "Has the city council
ower to vacate that portion of the
street as prayed for by the hospital'? If
that portion of the avenue is vacated in
whom will the title vest after such va-
cation''" These proposition 1 will di
rose cf in i verse order.
in my former opinion upon this sub -
eel, in which other propositions were
answercii, 1 set out the character of the
dedication, also the provisions of the
statute in effect at the time, providing
thst in cases of dedications for street
purposes the city took an absolute fee
simple title to the land dedicated.
Whether our supreme couprt would
reco,_ni-e and enforce the conditions of
the dedication, or hold that the dedica-
tor should have taken notice of the
statute in effect at that time, and de-
termine that the city took a. fee sial le
title to the land in accordance with the
provisions of the statute, is a question
which is decisive of the inquiry as to
whom the title to the land vests in when
the street is vacated by the city.
We find this proposition squarely de-
cided in the case of the city of Dubuque
vs. Benson, Twenty-third 'Iowa. 248. The
dedications in that and this case are
identical, and a like statute, relative to
dedications, was in force. Judge Dil-
lon, who wrote the opinion, said: "It is
not claimed that the street in question
was dedicated otherwise than the instru-
ment above referred to. If the city
claims under that, it must take it euro
onere.
"In the light of the charter, the general
laws and the special circumstances, we
construe that instrument to mean that
the dedicators give the public the right
or easement of passage in the streets,
the right to use and work them as pub-
lic ways and like, but reserve all other
rights, such as the right to take mineral
therefrom." And he concludes: "But
if, as in this c.Yse, a claim is made under
a grant. if that be the only source of the
right claimed, then the 'terms, conditions
and qualifications attached to the grant,
must be looked at to determine the
rights which it confers."
There is a seeming conflict between
this ruling and that in the case of the
city of Des Moines vs. Hall, 24 lowa, 234.
In the latter case the dedicators platted
and dedicated to the city of Des Moines
a body of land which. they called Hall's
addition to said town. They conveyed
the streets and alleys marked on said
plat to Polk county for the use of the
public. In that case the court says:
"The statement which, in this case, the
proprietors make on the plate, that they
conveyed the streets and alleys of their
addition to the county of Polk, for the
use of the public, eau have 11,, h.g:d >i
niticance or effect. It is the elat
nowledged and re:orded th it con \, -
title under Section Gl7 of the role. sa,

While this ease clots not appear in th,•
t,•i orts till aft c t• the Dubuque -Benson
case. and alight therefore be censidetea
r=ing it, the flint is that it was
i ', d 1.. fore that ease, but was held
1„ titling a rehearing, and 1 f, r, ace ..`
aide to it. and a distinction drawn I.
the court between it and the ihtbuqu
,ase In the opinion rendered In the lat-
ter case.
The principle upon which effect is
dt nied a limitation. such as that con-
tained in the Des Moines case, is that 11
r.ltempts to confer upon an extraneous
corporation the control of the streets in
t city and thus deprive the proper mu-
nicipal corporation of the 1' tttrol give•
to it by law.
i therefore conc•lnde, that under deli
cations, with limitations and reslrt.
tions, such as are contained in the Itres
ent case, the granters do not part with
the fee in the premises and when til,•
city vacates such streets, diseontimies to
use them for the purposes for which th. -y-
were dedicated, it forfeits all right to
them, and the title, or more core !1y
sneaking, the right of enjoyment is 1 —
vived in the dedicators.
As was said in my f'„, iaian• th.
charter of this city lir,,\ i that the
city council shril h;:\ e l o\c, r to open,
alter, extend. \yids stabash and va-
cate its streets.
Our supreme court has too frequently
sanctioned and approved the authority in
a proper case to vacate a street, 1.. 1et10e
it longer an open question. 'These de-
cisions are so numero•ts that i deem it
unnecessary to make citation of any of
them at this time. Yet this is not an
absolute authority without Iimitatinns
and restrictions. Its exercise should la.
seasoned with deliberation and discretion
The rule governing in such cases
well stated by our sunreme court in tit,
case of Williams et al., vs. Carey et al.

If the vacation of the street 111 ques-

bestow it with the present limited capac-
ity. Therefore your committee would

Your special Bee Branch Sewer Com-

the merits of this claim, being
aided by the City Engineer, and
find that in bidding $3.32 per

161
cubic yard Miller kept the city from.
awarding the contract to the next lowest
bidder whose bid was $4.07 per cubic yard,
and gave the city an opportunity of ad-
vertising again for bids with the result
that the contract was awarded and ccni-
pleted for $3.49 per cubic yard, or at a
saving to the city of 58 c• ata per cultic
yarn. which, according to the estimated
number of cubic yards in contract meant
a saving to the city of $2,030.1u. While

yards of grading, removed most of
the old stone sewer in Garfield Avenue,

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
City Attorney Barnes reported as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen of
the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At the regular session of
your honorable body held on the 19th day
of June, 1902, the petition of Jacob Grode
et al asking your honorable body to stop
the operation of the planing mill and box
factory located near the corner of Rhom-
berg Avenue and Elm street, and asking
you to condemn the building as a nuis-
ance and remove the same, was referred
to me for my opinion as to what auth-
ority the city had in the premises.
The city ..f Dubuque, by virtue of the
ordinances passed by the said city on
the subject of nuisances, is clothed with
the power to prevent and abate the nuts
ances therein referred to. Upon the
quostion of your authority to condemn
this .building as a nuisance, I desire to
call your attention to section 374 of Dil-
lon's Municipal Corporation, which is as
follows: "It is to secure and promote the
public health, safety, and convenience
that municipal corporations are so gen-
erally and so liberally endowed with pow-
er to prevent and abate nuisances. This
authority and its summary exercise may
be constitutionally conferred on an in-
corporated place, and it authorized its
council to act against that which comes
wilbia the legal notion of a nuisance;
but such power, conferred in general
terms, cannot be taken to authorize the
extra judicial condemnation and destruc-
tion of that as a nuisance which. in its
nature, situation, or use Is not such.
Speaking upon this subject in a very im-
portant case, where the city, under au-
thority to prevent and restrain encroach-
ments In rivers running through it, com-
menced summary proceedings to remove
a private wharf, an eminent judge uses
this Language, "but the mere declara-
tion by the city council that a certain
structure was an encroachment or ob-
struction did not make it so, nqr could
such declaration make it a nuisance un-
less it In fact had that character. It is
a doctrine not to be tolerated in this
country, that a municipal corporation,
without any general laws either of the
city or of the state within which a given
structure can be shown to he a nuisance,
can, by the mere declaration that it is
one. subject It to removal by any person
stip sed to be grieved, or oven by the
city itself. This would place every house,
every business, and all the property In
the city. at the uncontrollable will of the
teutper;u•y local :urtholittos.•.
There is nuthiug 8181)d in the petition
which brings the blurring referral to
within any of the ordin:uu•cs relating to
nuisances. and I am consequently of the
opinion that it is beyond the power of the
city through > our' honorable hotly to de-
clare this building a nuisance or to grant
the prayer of said petition.
Bearing furtht•r un tin. rights of peti-
tl:.ners, 1 will Siy that section Su;\ 1, the
code of Iowa r.l' ls:t;, 41) 1111 s ;;. m•I•ally
what ore nt,isan,•ts in this slab,. If the
building in tquistien111)l, lata
within any of the pro ishms of said st•e-
tiou. petitioners can bate the saute de-
clared a nuisance I.y kiln -jug the proper
proceedings in court. and the court upon
a prop 1' shc.wing has i netr to order the
abatement cf the same.
Respectfully submitted,
G. A. BARNI':S,
City Attorney.
Ald. Sheridan moved that the report of
the City Attorney be approved. Carried.
City attorney Barnes also reported as
follows:
'1'o the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At t'ne meeting of
the committee of the Whole held
on the 11th day of June, 1902,
you referred to me the petition of M. C.
Blake. praying for the cancellation Of the
special assessment levied on lots 8 and 9
in Porter's sub -division for the improve-
ment of Seminary street, for my opinion
as to whether or not said lots are assess-
able for the improvement of Seminary
street.
Foye street lies between Seminary street
and the lots in question, unless Foye
street has been vacated. :\ pint showing
the proposed vacation of that part of
Foye street lying between Seminary street
and the lots in question, was presented to
the council of February 15, 1594, and was
by the council referred to the committee
of the Whole. The printed record of the
proceedings of the city council fails to
show that the committee of the Whole
ever made any report either recommend-
ing the vacation as prayed, or otherwise.
I find that at the regular session of the
council held April 9, 1896, a resolution
was offered calling for the improvement
of Foye street between \Vest Locust
street and Gold street, which resolution 15
in the usual form and calls for the im-
provement of that part of Foye street
upon which these lots abut. This would
indicate that there had been no vacation
of that part of Foye street at that date.
Section S, Chapter 30, of the Revised
Ordinances of 1893, which was in force at
the date of the presentaton of said plat,
provides. "that any public highway in
said city may be annulled in like manner
by resolution of the city council; pro-
vided, that no street, alley or highway
duly established shall be altered or an-
nulled, until after the proposed action
thereon shall have been submitted to the
City Council at two regular sessions, nor
until tett days' notice thereof shall have
been published in the city papers." The
records of the proceedings of the said
Adjourned Regular Session, July 10, 1902.
177
Council fails to show that any resolu-
tion was ever passed vacating that part
of said street in question. or that the re-
quirements referred to in said section
were ever complied with. The plat, itself,
does not appear to have ever been record-
ed. as It undoul,t, dl>; would have been
had the part of said street in question
been vacated. 1 can find noshing that
shows that that part of Foye street in
question has ever been vaeated by your
honorable Body. As this street lies be-
tween Seminary street and the lots in
question, I am of the opinion that saki
lots are not assessable for the improve-
ment of Seminary street.
Respectfully submitted,
G. A. BARNES.
City Attorney.
Ald. Sheridan moved that the report of
the City Attorney be approved, and the
Treasurer he instructed to cancel the
assessment. Carried.

mitted to me for my opinion, the peti-
tion of Mrs. J. B. Nohe and other pri-
vate hoarding house keepers, praying the

evidences

ly been

entity and constitutionality. I am of

JOSEPH L. HORR,
-Chairman.
Your committee on Police and Light, to
whom you referred the proposition of the
-inion Electric company. in relation to
the substitution of enclosed arc for the
urn arc system of lighting, beg to report
11i ,t we have given the matter our best
a t i ntion and have also written to other
cities to obtain information from
our investigations:
1. That the enclosed arc lamp is not
affected by the weather; this reduces the
number of outages.
2. There is a more even distribution of
the light; no dark shadows being cast
immediately under the lamp.
1. The lamp burns absolutely steady,
eliminating flickering.
4. If an opal inner globe is used, the
glare of the light will not blind the eyes
when looking directly at it.
We would therefore recommend that
the Union Electric company be permitted
to make the change, provided that the
original contract be not affected there-
by; and also that the City Attorney be
instructed to draw up an amendment
to the original contract with said com-
pany, granting it the right to make the

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
City Attorney Barnes reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Iowa, October 24, 1902.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen of
the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Reporting on the title of
the property proposed to be deeded to the
city for the extension of Lincoln Avenue
between White and Jackson streets will
say: That the owners of the West half
of the South forty (40) feet of lot forty-
one (41) and the West half of lots forty-
two (42) and forty-three (43) in L. H.
Langworthy's Addition to the City of Du-
buque. And lot four (4) of the subdivision
7 50
6 50
6 25
6 97
5 89
6 50
of the East half of lots forty-two (42)
and forty-three (43) in L. H. Langworthy's
Addition to the City of Dubuque, known
respectively as the Drasda and Fossel-
mann property, have submitted to me ab-
stracts of title to their respective pieces
of property. a part of which is proposed
to be deeded to the City for the purpose
of the extension of said street, and said
abstracts are herewith presented for fu-
ture reference. With regard to the Dras-
da property it appears from said abstract
that Frank Draska and Mary Drasda, his
wife, on the 5th day of May, 1891. made
a mortgage to George L. Brower for
Fifty -Five Hundred ($5.500) Dollars, which
has not been satisfied. Upon investigat-
ing I find that said mortgage is in the
hands and under the control of Peter
Kiene & Son of this city, who have in
their possession a satisfaction of said
mortgage properly executed and will de-
liver the same to the City or file the
same for record upon the payment of the
amount due. With the above exception
the title to said property appears to be
clear.
With regard to what is known as the
Fosselmann property, the abstract shows
that on the 10th day of September. 1896,
said property was deeded by John Fossel-
mann, (widower) to Catherine Deckert.
(widow), and the title to said property
now rests in her. It apears from said ab-
stract that the second half of the county
taxes for the year 1901 are not paid and
the special City taxes levied on June 19th,
1902, amount $17.32, appear by said ab-
stract as not paid. These amounts have
been paid since said abstract was deliver-
ed to me for examination and the title
to said property as appears by said ab-
stract is good.
I have examined the deeds of Catherine
Deckert (widow) and Frank Drasda and
Mary Drasda, his wife. now in the hands
of the City Recorder and the same are
in proper form and properly executed.
No abstract of title has been presented
to what is known as the Nix property.
and no deed has been presented by the
owners of that property. There being
minors interested, proceedings in probate
are necessary in order to secure the right
to convey the interest of the minor heir:
to the City. I am informed that the par-
ties interested are now willing to take the
necessary steps in order that legal title
may be given to the City to the property
condemned for said street. In this con-
nection I would recommend that the nec-
essary money to pay for all the property
condemned for said extension of Lincoln
Avenue be set apart in the Treasury, as
provided by Ordinance, and that a war-
rant be drawn in favor of Catherine
Deckert (widow) for the sum of Sixteen
Hundred ($1.600) Dollars. That a warrant
be drawn in favor of Frank Drasda for
the sum of Thirty-four Hundred $3,400)
Dollars and that provisions be made for
the payment of the Nix heirs in accord-
ance with the terms of the resolution
heretofore adopted by your honorable
body. Respectfully submitted,
G. A. BARNES.
City Attorney.
Ald. Frith moved that the report of the

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
City Attorney Barnes reported as fol-

To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen—On. the 2nd day of October,
1902, you referred to me for my npinlon.
the petition of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway Company, asking your
honorable body to cancel an assessment
made against it 00 account of the sani-
tary sewer constructed in Tihrteenth
Street. As such assessments are only
to be levied in proportion to the speciaa
benefits conferred upon the property
along which the improvement is made,
and as the railroad company can receive
no benefits from the construction of said
sewer, 1 would recommend that the
prayer of the petition be granted.
G. A. BARNES,
City Attorney.
Ald. Sheridan moved that the report he
approved and the Treasurer be instruct-
ed to cancel the assessment. Carried.
City Attorney Barnes also reported as
follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen—I desire to call your atten-
tion to the case of John Pier vs.
City of Dubuque, which is an injunction
proceeding instituted to enjoin the City
from collecting a special assessment lev-
ied against the plaintiff's property on
Seventh and Clay Streets, to pay the
cost of a sidewalk abutting said prop-
erty, and other damages alleged to have
been sustained by the building of said
sidewalk by the City.
The plaintiff offers in settlement of
this case the sum of $17.25; this being the
amount that it would have cost the plain-
tiff to have built a brick sidewalk in
front of the lot in question. The plaintiff
will pay this amount in full settlement of
said special assessment, the City to pay
the costs, which amount to $29.55.
The plaintiff claims that he was con-
structing the walk along said lot on
Seventh Street and had the material on
the ground to build the walk on Clay
street at the time the then Engineer
let the contract for a cement walk along
said lot on Clay Street: and that he
would have built said brick walk and
completed the same in a short time had
not the City proceeded to do so.
I have examined into the merits in this
claim on part of the plaintiff and I am
satisfied that the City, through its En-
gineer, in acting as it did in this mattter.
acted hastily and without regard- to the
rights of said plaintiff and I would rec-
ommend that the proposition of the plain-
tiff be accepted and the case settled ac-
cording to the terms above set forth.
Respectfully submitted,
G. A. BARNES,
City Attorney.
Ald. Corrance moved that the report
be approved, and the Mayor and City At-
torney be impowered to make a settle-
ment. Carried.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Mayor Berg reported as follows:
Dubuque, December 4, 1902.
To the Honorable City Council of the
City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen—The undersigned, appoint-
ed by your honorable body to secure the
opinion of an expert on the merits of
the new steam, roller, beg to submit
herewith, for your consideration, the
written opinion of Mr. Fred Thornley.
C. H. BERG,
JAMES H. BOYCE.
Committee.
The report follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 28, 1902.
Hon, C. H. Berg, Mayor City of Dubuque:
Dear Sir --In compliance with your re-
quest I have made a careful examination
of the new steam road roller and beg to
report as follows:
I find that the various parts are well
and substantially made. The appliances
for feeding, firing and cleaning the boiler
are very complete and handy. The
power steering gear is especially well ad-
apted to its purpose of enabling the op-
erator to handle the roller with ease and
safety. On the 26th inst. two trial runs
were made from, Bluff street to the top
of Third street hill. The gcvernor belt
was thrown off and the engine operated
with the throttle valve. The run was
made up the hill in six minutes with an
average steam pressure of 110 lbs. The
first run was made with the injector
feeding, the second with the injector shut
off without uncovering the flues. The
descent in each case was made under
steam pressure. No attempt was made
to back up the hill as that would tend
to cause priming, 1. e., to pass water in-
stead of steam into the cylinder.
I am bound to say that the perform-
ance surprised me as judging from a the-
oretioal standpoint, the boiler, which
does not figure up more than 10 horse
power nominal, was altogether too small
for continuous duty, but judging from
the performance on Wednesday It appears
to be ample, providing the operator un-
derstands his business and the fuel fur-
nished has first-class steaming qualities,
Regular Session, Dec. 4, 1902. 289
two very Important factors in a machine
of this description.
The sided raft to tire furnace appears
to me to be not only inconvenient, but at
times quite detrimental. The material in
the wheel rims appears to be softer than
accords with good wearing quality and the
master gear and steering gear miters al-
ready show signs of wear and might with
advantage have been made of steel. On
the whole I am of the opinion that the
machine in question is a good service-
able one and that with proper care it
will do gojd service for many years. Re-
spectfully submitted,
F. THORNELY.
Aid. Sheridan moved that the report be
received and filed and the committee be
discharged. Carried.

Ald. Frith moved to adopt the Resolu-

Carried by the following vote:
Yeas-Alds. Clancy, Corrance, Frith,
Flory, Jones, Raymond and Sheridan,
Nays -None.
City Recorder Arendt also presented the
printed notice certified to by the publish-
er, of the Council's intention to con-
struct an 8 -inch Tile Pipe Sanitary Hewer
in Langworthy Avenue from Nevada
Street to Hill Street.
No remonstrance being filed the Mayor
asked if anyone present had any objec-
tion to said Sewer.
No objection being stated, on motion of
Ald. Sheridan the Notice was received
and filed.
Mayor Berg presented and read the first
annual report of the board of trustees of
the Carnegie -Stout free Public Library.
Report follows:
To the Mayor and Council of the City of
Dubuque:
The statute of the state relating to the
establishment and maintenance of free
public libraries provides that boards of
trustees of such libraries shall make re-
ports for each year ending Dec. 31st.,
which shall include "a statement of the
condition of the library, the number of
books added thereto, the number circu-
lated, the number no•t returned or lost,
the amount of fines collected, and the
amount of money expended in the main-
tenance thereof, during said year, to-
gether with such further information as
may be deemed important."
In obedience to this requirement the
board of trustees of the Carnegie -Stout
Free Library of Dubuque beg leave to
submit their first annual report. At the
close of the year 1901, the work of the
board did not seem to require official re-
port, as it has consisted simply of prep-
aration of plans for the new building, the
letting of contracts, and carrying fur -
ward something of the structural work.
8 Regular Session, Jan. 8, 1903.
The work of construction commeuc, d
about the middle of October, 1901, and
the building was completed and furnl-,h-
ed, ready for operation, about the mid-
dle of October, 1902. In the meantime the
library work was carried forward by the
directors of the Young Men's Library as-
sociation. who permanently closed the
old library on the 15th day of .August,
1902. At that time the books passed un-
der the control of your board of trustees;
Enid under the skillful superintendence of
the librarian, Miss Bessie Sargeant Smith,
a very large amount of work Was done by
herself and faithful assistants in the way
of repairing, rebinding, relabeling and re -
cataloging then], preparatory to removal
to the new building. The removal of
the stacks and hooks from the old to the
new building took place early in Septem-
ber, and was done with remarkable east,
ard celerity. And by the time the need-
ed furnishing was completed In October,
the books, with many new accessions,
were ready for the use of the public.
The building was thrown open to the in-
spection of the mayor and council and
the press of the city on the 17th day of
October, and to the people of Dubuque
on the af[erncons and evenings of Oct.
20, 21 and 22. This plan of inauguration
proved very successful, for nearly every
family in the city sent one or more rep-
resentatives to view the building and
contents, and these tock away with then;
a feeling of pride and interest in the
beneficent institution. In no other way
could their sense of proprietorship in the
library have been more strongly impress-
ed, or its use by them more effectively
invited.
This has• been proved by the rapid
growth in the membership and the con-
stant use made of the books, reading
rooms and other facilities. The children's
reading rooms daily a delightfully im-
pressive scene, filled to overflowing, as
it is after school hours with lloys and
girls intensely eager for the pleasure that
the bucks so clearly afford them, and who
are surly being intelectually and mor-
ally benefited thereby.
The December report of the librarian
shows that the membership has reached
3691, and is' steadily growing. Also that
since the library was opened Oct. 23rd
the e have been drawn from the shelves
and carried to the homes of our pcopie
2.1,510 volumes. When the library was
transferred by the Yoting Men's Library
Association, it catalogued 19,371 volumes,
in addition to which there were about
5.000 volumes of government publicatiors.
To these there have been added by pur-
chase 1.095 volumes, and by gift 252 vol-
umes, making a total at the close of the
calendar year of 10,648 volumes. No books
are reported lost. but many have to he
temporarily withdrawn for repal: s and
re -binding. This work is so large and
continuous as to force the employment
cf an extra assistant.
The purpose and spirit of the manage-
ment, both of trustees and librarians, is
one of general and courteous invitation.
And everything will he done within the
limits of the support fund to extend the
advantages of the library to all classes
and conditions of our people. There is
reason to expect that the present large
clfentage of the library will be constantly
and greatly increased and that the edu-
cational influences of the institution will
be carried into most of the homes of our
city. With very rare exceptions the con-
ditct of those who have used the library
has been in accord with the quiet, orderly
and restful spirit of the place, and there
have been hut few abuses of the trustful
policy of the management that has given
free access to the shelves and privileges
of the institution.
The artistic tastes and generous im-
pulses of Judge and Mrs. Shims, to-
gether with the gifts of the Art Associa-
tion and others, have made the art de-
partment of the work most creditable
to our city. Considerable material Is In
sight and promises to make useful and in-
teresting the historical and special mu-
seum rooms, but the board is now without
the means to properly furnish these
roosts so as to attract gifts or exhibits.
The financial statement of the present
year naturally divides itself into two
paras. First, income and expenditures
for construction and furnishing; second,
the support fund raised by taxation and
ex_pendit;;res therefrotn.
