The Anntial Report of the Trustees
of the Carnegie -Stout Free Public Li-
brary, was presented and read.
Report follows:
To the Mayor and Council of the City
of Dubuque.
Gentlement: Agreeable to the re-
quirements of the statute, the board of
trustees of the Carnegie -Stout free
public library herewith submit to you
their annual report of the operations
of the library for the year 1905.
There has been a gratifying increase
in the membership of the library dur-
ing the year, the enrollment increasing
from 7,254 to 8,417.
The number of volumes circulated
was 96,786. There has been some fall-
ing off in the number of volumes is-
sued, owing largely to the closing of
-the library during periods of improve-
ment of the interior.
There has been a material increase
in the number of books in the library
—1,252 volumes by purchase and 529
by gift. The number of volumes now
in the library aggregates 26,536. A
'very complete set of government pub-
lications was presented by Senator Al-
lison from his own accumulations,
numbering about 6,000 bound volumes
and many hundreds of valuable
pamphlets. As these have not yet
been listed and accessioned, they are
not included in the aggregate of vol-
umes above given.
The inventory of books shows 84
volumes lost or not returned. Many
of these will doubtless be found mis-
placed, and will later be accounted
'for.
The following will show the financial
operations of the library for the year:

Extent of Improvement.
Many additions to the facilities of
the library have been made in 1905,
notably the complete and very hand-
some set of metal book stacks, which
not only completely furnishes the
stack room, but will give all needed
shelf room for the library for many
years. The main floor and upper cor-
ridor have also been handsomely
painted and decorated. We have been
enabled to secure these great improve-
ments by the generous donation of
$11,500, made by one, Andrew Car-
negie, which, added to his former gifts,
makes Dubuque indebted to him for
library purposes in the munificent sum
of $71,500. These improvements, we
hope, will make the library more at-
tractiv eto our people and greatly in-
crease the membership and interest
shown. The board sincerely hopes
that the present membership of 8,417
will reach at least 10,000 before the
close of 1906, and that every family
in the city will soon be availing itself
of the education and moral influence
that must come from the use of the
library facilities. Let every one re-
member that all these facilities are his
or hers without cost, and that the
luxury of heat and light and healthy,
quiet, and wholesome reading are
theirs, day and evening, at no cost ex-
cept that of good behavior.
The board feels it but just to give
public expression of its appreciation of
the intelligence, enthusiasm, courtesy
and faithfulness manifested by the Li-
brarian and her assistants in all
branches of the library work.
Special attention is called to the full
and interesting report of the librarian,
herewith appended. It clearly sets
forth the operations of the library for
the year. Respectfully,
BOARD OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES.

REPORTS OF STANDING COM-
M:ITTEES.
Ald. Corrance, chairman of the
Committee on Claims, reported as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, Com-
mittee on Claims and City Attorney,
would respectfully state:
That an action is now pending in
the District Court of Dubuque Coun-
ty, Iowa, entitled "Sarah J. Fenton,
plaintiff, vs. City of Dubuque, defend-
ant," brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover $2,000.00 as damages which she
alleged to have sustained by falling
on an icy sidewalk alleged to have
been in a dangerous and unsafe con-
dition, on Tenth and Locust Streets in
the City of Dubuque, Iowa, on or about
the 21st day of February, 1905, by
reason of which she claims to have
been violently thrown to the ground,
striking her left arm upon the side-
walk, breaking the bones of said arm
near the wrist joint and rendering her
sick and disabled, by reason of which
she was confined to her bed and per-
manently injured, and suffered great
pain of body and anguish of mind.
The undersigned have investigated
the facts of this case and have suc-
ceeded in compromising the same with
the plaintiff, whereby she will fully
release and discharge the City from
any and all liability for said injuries
for the sum of $225.00, she to pay all
costs. Deeming it to the City's best
interest that this case be settled upon
those terms, we would respectfully
recommend that such settlement be
made and that a warrant be ordered
drawn in favor of the Mayor with
which to effect said settlement.
Dated at Dubuque, Iowa, this 17th

Whereas, Senator Crawford has in-
troduced a bill in the State Senate
whereby Sec. 1305 of the Code is made
applicable to cities acting under spec-
ial charters; and
Whereas such a bill would compli-
cate the existing conditions in the
matter of the assessment of property
in this city; and

could more easily be compelled to
pay their just share of their city taxes
by the passage of a law expressly pro-
viding that Section 1306 should not
apply to cities acting under special
•charters, now therefore
Be it Resolved by the City Council
of the City of Dubuque, that the Du-

told the accountants the report must
be here by the 15th of March, in con-
sequence of which the report is not as
complete as it otherwise would have
been, but the accountant stated he
would make a supplementary report
desired.
I want to say here for myself per.
sonally es chairman of the committee.
that I was opposed to this investiga-
tion, not only as a matter of economy
but also because it threw a suspicion
en the honesty and integrity of the
Trustees: but now I am glad to say
that I am more pleased that the inves-
tigation has been had, as we believe
the information furnished the people
of Dubueue is well worth all it cost,
as it shows them the conditions as they
exist, and the remedy to be applied.
All that is necessary for the Trus-
teed to do, is to look out and eet Pay
for all the water that is Humped and
stop all water that is going to waste
throughout the city, and we believe
the water works with 'good economical
management will be made to pay, and

Whereupon Ald. Thomas offered the
following:
Whereas, the firm of Carr, Ryder &
Adams Co. came before the Water
Works Trustees with a demand for an
extra main to give them additional
fire protection, a demand which we
think is proper and needful that it
should be granted without delay; and
Whereas, the Trustees, for lack of
funds, have referred this demand to
us, asking that we tender them finan-
cial aid to make this necessary exten-
sion; and
Whereas, we are not certain that
this Council has the legal right to as-
sist the Trustees in any other man-
ner than by a special tax levy; and we
do not believe that our citizens will
look with favor upon any such ad-
vances made to the Trustees;
Therefore Be It Resolved, that we
cannot grant the request of the Trus-
tees, but suggest to them that they
permit the firm of Carr, Ryder &
Adams Co. to make this extension at
their own expense. Further do we
recommend that the trustees agree
with this firm to purchase the said ex-
tension at the actual cost price and
a fair amount of interest added, so
soon as they have acquired the neces-
sary means to warrant this outlay.

REPORTS OF STANDING COMMIT-
TEES.
Ald. Thomas, chairman of the com-
mittee on claims, reported as follows:
Your committee on claims and city
attorney would respectfully report:
That Frank Schaefle fell on a defect-
ive sidewalk on Hill street in the city
of Dubuque, during the month of March
of this year, from which he suffered
severe injuries to his arm. Arrange-
ments w re made by the committee on
claims o pay Mr. Schaefie the sum of
$25.0 n full settlement for his injuries.
We would therefore recommend that
this settlement be made and that a
warrant be ordered drawn in favor of
the mayor with which to effect same.
Dated at Dubuque, Iowa, this 3rd day
of May, 1906.
Ald. Thomas moved to adopt the re-
port.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Alds. Clancy, Closs, Hines,
Hopkins, McEvoy, Stumpf and Thomas.
Nays—None.
Alderman Thomas, chairman of the
committee on claims, reported as fol-
lows:
Your committee on claims and city
attorney would respectfully report that
there is now pending in the supreme
court of Iowa the case of Gustave
Schnee, admr. vs. The City of Dubuque.
This case was tried at the October term
of the district court in Dubuque county,
Iowa, in 1904, and the plaintiff recov-
ered judgment against the city in the
sum of $2,000.00. This case was brought
for plaintiff by Attorneys Kenline &
Roedell, and was tried in the supreme
court once before, where the case was
decided against the city. The judgment
of $2,000.00 recovered above, if sustained
would draw interest at 6 per cent and
would now amount to about $200.00.
The attorneys for the plaintiff in the
above entitled cause also have a case
against the city now pending in the
district court entitled Edward Farrell
vs. The City of Dubuque, in which the
plaintiff seeks to recover $5,000.00 dam-
ages for loss of services on account of
injuries sustained by his wife, Florence
Farrell, through being injured on a
sidewalk in Dubuque some years ago.
Plaintiff's attorneys and your com-
mittee on claims and city attorney have
come to an agreement whereby both the
Schnee case, in which there is now a
judgment of $2,000.00 against the city,
and the Edward Farrell case will be
settled in full for the sum of $1,800.00
and the court costs in the case of Gus-
tave Schnee, admr. vs. The City of Du-
buque, which court costs amount to
$236.60. As this settlement will be a
saving to the city of nearly $500.00 in
the Schnee case and will dispose of the
Edward Farrell case entirely, we deem
it to the best interest that said cases
be settled on that basis, and would
therefore recommend that warrants be
drawn in favor of the mayor in the
sum of $2,036.60 with which to effect
said settlements.
Dated at Dubuque, Iowa, this 3rd day
of May, 1906.
Ald. Thomas moved to adopt the re-
port.

Nays—None,
Alderman Thomas, chairman of the
committee on claims, reported as fol-
lows:
Your committee on claims and city
attorney would respectfully report that
there is now pending in the district
court of Iowa, a suit entitled Wm.
Radloff vs. The City of Dubuque, in
which the plaintiff claims of the city
of Dubuque the sum of $1,000.00 as dam-
ages for a broken leg sustained by him
in falling on a defective sidewalk on
Burden avenue on or about February
20th, 1906. Your committee have in-
vestigated the facts and the injuries
in this case and have deemed it to the
best interest of the city to effect a com-
promise thereof. They have succeeded
in compromising said case for the sum
of $151.00 and court costs amount g to
$5.05, making a total of $156.05.
We would therefore recommend that
this action be settled on that basis a d
that a warrant in the sum of $156.0 e
ordered drawn in favor of the mayor
with which to effect said settlement.
Dated at Dubuque, Iowa, this 3rd day

Regular Session June 7, 1906
129
Chicago, March 14th, 1906.
Mr. H. Corrance, Chairman,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Sir:—
DUBUQUE CITY WATER WORKS.
in accordance with the instructions
of the Committee of which you are
chairman we have made a thorough
and complete examination and audit of
the books and accounts of the Water
Department of the City of Dubuque,
Iowa, for the period of five years and
seven months beginning June 1st, 1900,
and ending December 31st, 1905.
In a separate schedule wnich is ren-
dered herewith we present statements
showing
(A) Financial condition at the close
of each calendar year to December
31st, 1905, (page 1).
(B) Income account showing reve-
nue and operating expenses for each
calendar year to December 31st, 1906,
(page 2.)
(C) Operating expenses of Stations
for each calendar year to December
31st, 1905, (page 3).
(D) Summary of Trustees' quarterly
reports of cash receipts and disburse-
ments for each calendar year to De-
cember 31st, 1905, (page 4).
In the course of our work we have
gone exhaustively into every particu-
lar of the operation of the Water De-
partment not only for the purpose of
verifying the receipts and disburse-
ment and the accuracy of the books
and records, but also with a view to
presenting to your Committee such
facts and flghres as will enable them
to arrive at dependable conclusions as
to the manner in which the Water De-
partment has been conducted and op-
erated and further to furnish informa-
tion of such character and in such
manner that any possible improve-
ment in the plant or in the adminis-
tration or operation thereof may read-
ily be seen.
In reporting in detail upon the var-
ious points involved we shall refer to
matters in the order in which they ap-
pear upon the statements rendered
herewith under separate cover.
critically and any that could reasona-
be considered as representing repair
or maintenance items were excluded.
The result of a close examination of
all vouchers is that we are satisfied
that the total amount we show as ex-
pended on additions to plant up to De-
cember 31st, 1905, ($61,564.84) are in
fact additions to the plant and increase
its value and efficiency. Wherever we
have been in any doubt as to whether
the expenditure should be classified as
an addition or as a replacement we
nave dealt with it as the latter in or-
der to conservatively state the condi-
tions.
The following statement shows in
some detail the character and location
of the additions to the plant:

Purchase Price of Property and Plant.
It appears that the purchase price of
the plant was $545,000 but that an
amount of $500 cash was paid in by the
vendors in lieu of a certain piece of
land. We have therefore shown the
cost of the property and plant as $544,-
500 and shown the $500 cash separate-
ly. As this transaction pertained to
the purchase of the plant and
not
ifur-
theroperation we did not go
than to make inquiries which re-
sulted as above stated.

sent expenditure for additions and im-

Meters.
While meters are in one sense an
addition to the plant we have shown
them separately as expenditure for
meters has, or should have, a direct
bearing upon the revenue.
During the period covered by our
examination 328 meters were purchas-
ed at a total cost including freight of
$8,946.53.
This amount does not include the
cost of setting meters. There is a
question as to whether the cost of set-
ting should be considered as an addi-
tion to the plant or not, but as stated
above, for the purpose of taking the
most conservative view we have dealt
-with the cost of setting meters as an
operating expense.
Insurance.
A small amount of insurance was
unexpired at the close of each year
'but as the amount was insignificant
except at the 'end of the year 1905, we
did not take time to arrive at the fig-
ure other than to ascertain that it was
so small that it had no bearing on the
general results.
The total insurance in force at De-
cember 31st, 1905, was as follows:
Eagle Point Buildings $11,400.00
Eagle Point Machinery 25,900.00
Eighth Street Buildings 2,875.00
Eighth Street Machinery4,625.00
Level Buildings 1,000.00
Level Machinery 1,500.00

Eagle Point Boiler Insurance 12,000.00
Eighth Street Boiler Insur-
ance ... 8,100.00
Total Insurance Carried...$68,900.00
The adequacy of this insurance and
the propriety of its distribution we
have not inquired into.
Material and Supplies.
This consists of pipe, valves, fittings,
etc., and the amount shown as on hand
December 31st. 1905, has been verified
by detailed inventory showing quan-
tities and prices. No detailed inven-
tories were to be had for the prior
years and we were therefore obliged
to estimate the amounts then on hand.
We believe the figures shown for those
prior years are approximately correct.
Accounts Receivable.
These consist of the estimated
amounts due and uncollected from
consumers at the close of each year.
We attempted to arrive at the exact
amount due from consumers at the
close of each year but found that ow-
ing principally to the manner in
which the consumers' ledgers are kept,
that it would take a length of time not
warranted by the results to be obtain-
ed. We therefore make such tests
and verifications as satisfied us that'
the amounts shown are approximately
correct with the exception that they
may, and probably do, include some
accounts which should have been
closed out on account of shut -offs or
for other reasons. To make our point
clearer, we have included in this esti-
mated amount collectible every ac-
count on the ledger and every service
shown or indicated where reasons for
the discontinuance of the charge does
not appear on the ledger. We includ-
ed all questionable accounts of this
nature for the reason that we did not
feel competent to decide which ac-
counts were and which were not prop-
erly collectible and we mention the
fact because it is almost certain that
the full amount shown as receivable
at December 31st, 1905, will not be
collected.
The balance due for uncollected wa-
ter rentals at December 31st, 1905, has
since then been materially reduced,
many old past due accounts having
been ccllected in January and Febru-
ary, 1906.
Included in the balance of Accounts
Receivable at December 31st, 1905, is
an amount of $9.70 which represents
a bill for supplies paid a second time
in error. when we called attention
to the error the amount was immedi-
ately collected but as that was after
the 31st of December, 1905, we have
dealt with it as an account Receivable
at that date.

Cash in hands of City Treas-
urer December 31, 1905....$ 129.51
The Receipts and Disbursements as
shown by the quarterly statements
rendered by the trustees disagree with
the above not only on account of var-
ious adjustments of insignificant
amount made by us but principally be-
cause we show the actual cash han-
dled including all borrowed money and
the repayment thereof. It has been
the practice to include in the Cash
Book a great many Journal entries
which when posted to the Ledger
would of course appear as cash trans-
actions and the quarterly statements
having been taken apparently direct
from the ledger these journal entries
would increase or decrease the receipts
and correspondingly decrease or in-
crease the disbursements. That the
net cash transactions as shown by the
quarterly statements agree with those
shown above will be seen when the
balance remaining on hand at Decem-
ber 31st, 1905, is noted.
The amounts of cash in the hands of
the City Treasurer and in bank have
been verified at the various dates
shown and we were furnished by the
City Treasurer with a certificate stat-
ing that the balance in his hands to
the credit of the Water Department
at the close of the year 1905 was $129,-
.51 as shown.
Bonds Retired.
Acording to the bucks at December
31st, 1905, 101 bonds Nos. 1 to 100 both
inclusive and of $1,000 par value each
have been retired. We have not seen
the cancelled bonds nor did we con-
sider it necessary under the circum-
stances to verify the payment of in-
terest on bonds.
We might mention that we have not
verified the balance remaining in the
hands of the Clay Treasurer at De-
cember 31st, 1905, from proceeds of
the tax levied for the payment of bond
interest and for sinking fund purposes.
Income.
The net income for the five years and
seven months ending December 31st, 1905,
as shown by the books is $48,673.10
From which we have deducted
operating expenses applying
prior to December 31, 1905,
but not charged on the books
at that i.ate 4,372.95

We have also deducted charges

We have used every available means
to ascertain if any accounts other than
the above were owing at December
31st, 1905, and are convinced that we
have shown them all with the possible
exception of an occasional small ex-
pense bill which in the ordinary course
of business would not come in for two
or three months.
From the above list it will be seen
that we have brought in the liability
for interest on overdue accounts, etc.,
which we have also done at the close
of each year as near as may be de-
termined.
136 Regular Session June 7, 1906
Liability to Consumers.
It has been the practice of the Wa-
ter Department to collect on or about
the 1st of June and the 1st of Decem-
ber each year the semi-annual water
rate covering the service to be ren-
dered during the six months succeeding
those dates. Consequently the books
include in the revenue each year a
large amount which does not pertain
to that year and for which five -sixths
of the service is to be rendered in the
following year. As it would have ta-
ken a considerable time to get out ex-
act figures on these advance collections
and as a variation of a few hundred
dollars one way or the other would
not be material to the purposes of
these accounts we have devoted only
sufficient time to this part of the work
to arrive at figures which are approx-
imately correct.
Income Account.
On page two of the schedule here-
with we present an adjusted Income
account showing the revenue and the
operating expenses of the Water De-
partment for each calendar year to
December 31st, 1905. This account
differs materially from the quarterly
statements heretofore rendered by the
Trustees because we show the actual
earning of the Water Department,
whether collected or not, and the ac-
tual expenses, whether paid or not,
while the quarterly statements show
the revenue collected and the expenses
paid.
In verifying the revenue in detail
and the operating expenses in detail
we have entirely readjusted the ac-
counts as shown by the books in order
that the Income account may show
you the actual result of operating the
plant distributed under proper head-
ings. By this we mean that each item
of revenue and expense is described
in the Income account in such maner
that the true character of the earning
or expense is shown regardless of how
or in what accounts the entries are
made upon the books. It will there-
fore not be necessary to refer specifi-
cally to each item in the Income ac-
count. Such items as are not entire-
ly self-explanatory are as follows:
Miscellaneous Sales of Water.
Included herein are sales of water to
masons and builders, circuses, for
filling tanks and cisterns and similar
items.
Taps.
At the rate of $2.50 per tap the num-
ber of new services as indicated by the
amounts collected for taps are as fol-
lows:

1901 .126
1902 116
1903 .....110
1904 127
1905 139
Total 630
Miscellaneous Receipts.
Herein are included all receipts oth-
er than those from sales of water and
from taps. They consist of amounts
received from rent of pasture, sales
of material and supplies and similar
items.
Eagle Point Operating Expenses.
The coal account will be referred to
hereafter. The only account under
this heading showing any material va-
riation is Repairs and Maintenance
which of necessity is more or less ir-
regular. The unusual charge for re-
pairs and maintenance in the year
1903 ($2,987.55) is for extraordinary
boiler repairs.
Trustees' Salaries.
Included in the charge of $1,125 for
the seven months of the year 1900 is an
amount of $375 covering the salaries
of the Trustees for the three months
beginning March 13th, 1900. In the
years 1901 and 1902 a small amount
in excess of $1,500 is charged which
appears to be due to the fact that the
Trustees' term of office does not begin
and end with the calendar years.
Bookkeepers' Salaries.
The variation in these salaries is due
to the fact that a part of the time one
bookkeeper was employed and at oth-
er times two. In the year 1903 in
which $1,720.01 was paid two book-
keepers were employed, one at $60 per
month and one at $83.33 per month.
Office and General Expenses.
Included in this account are charges
for telephone, telegrams, advertising,
light, newspapers and periodicals, of-
fice supplies, etc., which are shown be-
low as "miscellaneous."

The charges under this heading ap-
pear to be legitimate and necessary for
the proper conduct of the Department.
It would seem that such charges.
Regular Session June 7, 1906
137
within reasonable limits are unavoida-
ble in the conduct of any business but
a careful scrutiny of the books and
accounts fail to disclose any such
charges after the year 1902. We are
informed that the Trustees personally
paid all such expenses in the years
1903, 1904 and 1905 but we are not
informed as to the amount thereof nor
have we gone into the question as to
whether there is a liability on the
part of the Water Department for the
repayment of such expenditures in
those three years.
Interest on Borrowed Money.
We were unable to accurately ver-
ify the amount of interest paid during,
and accrued at the end of, each year
a the payments were not uniformly
made and in some instances the vou-
chers and records do not show the
dates from which and to which the
payment applied. We have, however,
satisfied ourselves that the Depart-
ment had the use of this borrowed
money for the length of time covered
by the interest charges and that there-
fore they were proper expenditures
and we have also brought into the ac-
counts the outsanding liability for in-
terest unpaid on time warrants and
open accounts payable at December
31st, 1905.
American Water Works Association
Expense.
Under this heading is shown a total
expenditure to the end of the year
1902 of $266.55, consisting of member-
ships and fees in the American Water
Works Association amounting to $159
and traveling expenses to water works
conventions amounting to $107.55. No
similar charges appear in the accounts
after the year 1902 and we are inform-
ed that the Trustees and Superinten-
dent personally paid such expenses
after that date. We have not gone
into the question as to whether there
is an liability on the part of the Wa-
ter Department for such expenses in
the last three years.
We believe that reasonable exp vnli-
tures of this description are usually
considered necessary and desirable in
the conduct of water works plants and
we would point out that the operating
expenses we have shown for the years
1903, 1904 and 1905 are less than the
actual expenses by whatever would or-
dinarily have been charged on this
account and for general traveling ex-
penses.
Depreciation.
We are unable to introduce into the
accounts any figures on depreciation
for the reason that while a fair rate
may readily be established such rate
would apply not to the purchase price
of the plant but to its original cost
and furthermore it would be difficult
to determine just what proportion of
the expenditure for repairs would have
been necessary under the best condi-
tions of the plant and what proportion
should properly be applied to the re-
duction of the depreciation charge.
We might mention that as near as
we can determine a fair rate of depre-
ciation on plants of this character
would be between one and two per
cent per annum as a going concern.
Perhaps one and one-half pe r cent
per annum would be a fair rate in this•
case but as we have stated it should
be figured on the actual cost of the
plant and extraordinary repairs should
be deducted.
Pumpage.
No pumping records were kept for
June, 1900, and for a part of July and
August, 1900, and we are therefore ob-
liged to estimate the pumpage for those
mouths. Including such estimates the
pump records show the following num-
ber of gallons to have been pumped
into the mains in the seven months
ending December 31st, 1900, and each
year thereafter:

Assuming that the city uses each
day 584,280 -
The amount furnished other con-
sumers would be 3,244,375
Which based on a population of
say 40,000 is a per capita sup-
ply per day of about 81
Cost of Water.
The average cost of water per. one

ing expenses of whatever nature, is as.

Revenue.
Comparison of the total revenue from
sales of water each year with the total
amount of water pumped each year,
shows that an increased pumpage has
not been reflected in a correspondingly
increased revenue. In order to show
this clearly there follows a table show-
ing the percentage of increase in each
year over the prior year of water
sales and of gallons of water pumped.
The black figures indicate a decrease:

For the entire per-
iod 38.65 53.46
Since the rates charged for water
have not materially changed during
the period under consideration the
above table allows of but one or two
conclusions. Either in the latter years
some unknown element of waste has
introduced itself or water is used
which is not paid for. A careful
search of the records failed to show
any indications that service rendered
and collected for in the earlier years
was rendered and not collected for in
the latter years. No material increase
in legitimate waste is known of. It
appears therefore that somewhere the
quantity of water used is entirely out
of proportion to the amount paid for.
A matter of this character is of course
a practical question and can not be
settled conclusively by books and rec-
ords and we therefore can do no more
than raise the question. It may be
that the waste which is unavoidable
under flat rates increases each year
and slippage of pumps may account
for a part of the increased loss but
after considering these points it ap-
pears to us that the loss is unaccount--
ed for. Possibly the placing of meters
on such services as ordinarily use a
large and varying quantity of water
would either reduce this discrepancy
to reasonable limits or on the other
hand increase the revenue correspond-
ingly.
Water Used by the City of Dubuque.
The amount of water used by the
city is of necessity an estimate. The
following estimate is from the best
sources of information available:
Gallons
used
15 large fountains Daily
200,000
10 corner fountains
Flushing sewers, etc8,280
Engine Houses and other City240,000
Buildings
1,000
449,280
10 sprinkling wagons 135,000
Total estimated number of gallons
used each day by the City 584,280
In arriving at the above averages
the fact that for some purposes water
is used during a part of the year only
has been duly considered. Nothing has
been introduced on account of fire pro-
tection.
In order to give some idea of the
amount by which the City benefits by
the above service we add a table show-
ing what is stated to have been for-
merly paid therefore.
339 Hydrants @ $50 $16,950.00
10 Drinking Fountains @ $40 400.00
15 Horse Drinking Fountains
@ $50 750.00
24 Flush Tanks @ $25 600.00
8 Hydrants (Milwaukee
yards) 200.00
City Hall and Engine Houses 85.00
$18,985.00
Add amount which the old
company proposed to charge
for sewer 5,000.00
Add 4 Sprinkling Wagons2,000.00
$25,985.00
Deduct City and County Tax-
es paid by the old company
(about) 6,000.00
Total value of services ren-
dered to the City $19,985.00
In considering the above figures it
must be borne in mind that the City
has paid for the use of water for
sprinkling wagons, $2,500 for the year
1905 and lesser sums in the preceding
years.
Bookkeeping.
We have to report that the books
of the Water Company are clerically
correct and in balance, but the system
which has been in use is not an ade-
quate one and the result is that much
important information could be had
without additional work. The distrib-
ution of the expense accounts has by
no means been uniform. A number of
errors were found in the vouchers, but
they were in each instance of insig-
nificant amount and of such character
as had no bearing on the general cor-
rectness of the accounts. Barring the
fact that the system in use is far
the best for the purpose, the books
must be considered as fairly well kept.
Verification of Disbursements.
The entire expenditure for the five
years and seven months under review
has been carefully verified by the crit-
ical examination of each voucher and
the invoices attached thereto and we
have satisfied ourselves that the ex-
penditure was legitimate and properly
chargeable to the account in which
we have shown it. In a few cases
such as Notes Payable, interest there -

Regular Session June 7, 1906 139
on, etc., invoices of course were not
available for verification and in these
cases we satisfied ourselves that the
money was borrowed and that the
interest thereon was due and payable.
Two or three invoices for supplies, in
each case of small amount, were not
attached to the vouchers but duplicates
have been sent for and we expect to
verify them before this report is ren-
dered.
A number of the vouchers were not
approved by the Trustees, and in some
instances vouchers were approved by
one Trustee only. A few vouch-
ers were not signed, but as in
every instance these vouchers covered
invoices or bills to more than one
party we have accepted them as proper
vouchers after investigating the nature
and propriety of the expenditure.
A summary of the total Cash col-
lected divided between amounts for
which we have seen and examined
proper vouchers and amounts which,
in the sense of not having invoices
attached, were not vouchered is as fol-
lows:

Most of the amounts shown above
as "Borrowed money repaid" represent
the cashing of time warrants by banks
and they are in one sense not a Dis-
bursement. In order, however to show
all transactions, we have dealt with
all such on the one side as cash re-
ceived and on the other as cash dis-
bursed.
Coal.
As the largest expenditure of the
Department is for coal we gave par-
ticular attention to this account and
have verified it in detail from begin-
ning to end even to proving the foot-
ings and extensions of each invoice.
We have also compared the car num-
bers on every available freight and
demurrage bill with the car numbers
shown on the invoices attached to the
vouchers and have furthermore look-
ed over the books of the company
which furnished the largest amount
of coal to the Water Department for
the purpose of ascertaining that the
coal was delivered as billed and that
the Department was receiving the ben-
efit of at least as low prices as other
consumers of like amount. We have
in fact paid particular attention to
this part of the investigation and have
to report that no discrepancies appear
therein other than small errors in
weights or extensions of invoices the
net result of which would not exceed
one or two dollars at the most. The
only further possible verification of the
Coal account would be the checking of
the car numbers shown on the in-
voices against the switching records
of the railroads which would undoubt-
edly take a long time and which point
we consider as fully covered by the
fact that we so checked freight and
demurrage bills on many cars in each
one of the years excepting the year
1902. It appears that it is not the
universal custom to send freight bills
or copies thereof with the invoices and
for the year 1902 none happened to be
on file. In each case where the
freight bill was available we also ver-
ified the weight of the coal thereby.
The Water Department keeps no
proper record of the weight of coal
consumed and in fact appears to have
no proper appliances for doing so. We
attempted to use a partial record
which had been kept but found it quite
unreliable for our purpose. From the
records it appears that the Trustees
in the earlier years had some idea that
they were not receiving the full weight
of coal paid for, as on invoices from
October, 1901, to May, 1902, appear
penciled figures showing what we were
told were the Water Department's
weights. These pencil figures average
about seven per cent under the billed
weights but investigation in to the
manner in which the Department's
weights were gotten showed conclu-
sively that they were unreliable and
as a matter of fact we understand that
when a claim for shortage was made
against a concern which furnished the
coal that proper tests were then made
at considerable expense which proved
to the satisfaction of all concerned
that the billed weights were correct.
The amount of coal used during
each year under review is shown by
the following table:

We inquired closely into the reasons
for the large increase in coal consump-
tion beginning with the year 1903 and
it appears that an entire change in the
method of obtaining water was made
about that time. This change consist-
ed in the installation of an air com-
pressor for forcing the water from the
wells which compressor began to op-
erate early in November, 1902.
In order to give you all the infor-
mation possible on the Coal account
we give the following table showing
from whom coal was purchased and
the weight, kind and price.

The net results of the operation of
the plant for the five years and seven
months ending December 31st, 1905,
would be as follows assuming that the
free service to the City amounts to say
$18,000 per year:

General Remarks.
In the course of our investigation we
have been brought more or less into
contact with many practical questions
upon which, as your Committee has
provided for a physical examination
it is not within our province to re-
port. It may, however, be in order
to briefly refer to some of the more
important points.
Supply -It appears to use that com-
parisons of the amount and quality
of water supplied in the years 1900
and 1905 is an important factor in de-
termining in what manner the De-
partment has been administered.
Fire Protection -The importance of
adequate fire proteetion to the city
can scarcely be overestimated.
Meters -The consensus of experienc-
ed opinion appears to be that it cer-
tainly pays to meter at least fifty per
cent of the service. Beyond that it
may be questionable. It occurs to us
that such an investment in meters
might probably more than repay it-
self through an increased revenue or
through decreased expenses in being
required to furnish less water.
Eighth Street Station -The neces-
sity of continuing this station is not
apparent. The expense of doing so
is apparent. We understand practical-
ly all this expense could be saved
without any appreciable effect upon,
the supply or service.
Comparisons With Other Cities -We
have abstained from referring in any
way to results accomplished by Water
142 Regular Session June 7, 1906
Plants in other cities but we suggest
that the widest understanding of the
conditions of your plant can be ob-
tained by comparing its results in
detail with the results in other munic-
ipalities similarly situated.
Rates—We notice instances where,
principally for domestic purposes, ap-
parently similar services are charged
differing rates and while we found
upon investigation that these varying
rates were continuations of those
charged such consumers by the prior
owners of the plant we nevertheless
suggest that in equity these rates
should be made uniform. In other
words all consumers of one particular
class, having the same service, should
pay the same rate. We notice among
the rules of the Trustees one provid-
ing for a ten per cent penalty on water
bills not paid within a stipulated time
but we do not find that such penalty
has been exacted.
Free Service to the City—Whether or
not the City should pay for its water
is a matter for serious consideration
and it should be borne in mind who,
in the last analysis, really pays for
this service.
Revenue From Extensions.
It appears that no revenue is yet re-
ceived from the following extensions:
West 5th street.
Peaoody avenue. (Additional service
for Mercy Hospital and fire protec-
tion.)
Sixth street alley. (To take out
dead end.)
Queen street. (Fire protection.)
West Locust street. (For better
service to Jackson school.)
Twelfth and Elm streets. (Fire pro-
tection.)
Eighth street. (Changing from low
to high pressure and fire protection.)
T
ten

Gm
he revenue from the remaining ex
sions apparently range from $12
annum from Lincoln avenue ex-
sion to about $75 from South
ve Terrace extension.
We have not been able to get out
the information necessary to present
a complete detailed list of these ex-
tensions at the time of closing this re-
port.
If more detail than the above is re -
aar d we can furnish it within a few
Your Committee having given us to
understand that the report was want-
ed by the 15th of March at the latest,
we thought best not to delay for a sin-
gle point like this.
If further explanation on any point
is desired we shall be glad to furnish
it upon request.
Yours very truly,

Report of John W. Alvord, C. E., Hy-
draulic Engineer.
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council„ City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:—We take pleasure in
forwarding to you herewith our report
upon the Water Works Plant of the
City of Dubuque; the expenditures for
betterment which have been made
since its purchase, their wisdom, the
betterments that are required at the
present time and their cost.
All of this work has involved us in a
report of considerable length and it
may be desirable, in a preliminary
way, to outline the work we have done
for your guidance in studying the
contents of the report.
Our report first takes up the bet-
terments made to the plant and gives
our own independent detailed estimate
of what they must have cost; this
amount we place at $69,711.00, and
we consider that this sum must have
actually been expended in better-
ments we have seen since the purchase
of the plant by the city.
We then discuss the wisdom of these
expenditures, and conclude that for
the larger part they have been wisely
made.
We feel that such expenditures, as
we have been compelled to criticise,
are due to the struggle to obtain nec-
essary water supply under emergency
conditions.
In developing the supply from the
old drive well system we conclude, the
expenditures are not only fully justi-
fied but the supply, thus obtained, is
worth many times its cost to the City
as the solution to a most troublesome
problem.
An appendix to the report gives our
estimate of the value of the improve-
ments made since the acquisition of
the plant in complete detail, and fully
itemized.
We then take up and describe the
present plant and analyze its operat-
ing expense; we find these expenses
to be unduly high, due in part to lack
of adequate supply, but more largely
to the use of machinery not adapted
to the work it has to do, the use of
which has been gradually necessitated
by lack of funds for a proper installa-
ation.
We next investigate the future needs
of the City, its growth and probable
consumption for the next ten or fif-
teen years, and conclude that the con-
sumption ought not to exceed five or
six million gallons by the end of that
time.
We then take up the present sources
Regular Session June 7, 1906
143
of supply and recommend economical
arrangement for the low lift pumping
at Eagle Point, which will greatly les-
sen the operating expense.
We estimate the cost of this installa-
tion at $41,700.00 and conclude that
it will reduce the present operating
expense from $25,167.00 per annum to
$13,293 per annum, a saving of $11,-
874 per annum, as well as increase
the available supply at Eagle Point
to five or six millions gallons daily.
We have analyzed the fire protection
afforded by the distribution system,
and point out twelve places in the
City where a small expenditure for
additional mains will give greatly in-
creased fire service. We estimate
these additions to cost $6,344.
We advise the installation at Eagle
Point of an additional high duty
pumping engine, necessary as a re-
serve, in case of accident to the pres-
ent Holly Pump. This will cost $22,-
000. We suggest that if funds are not
available for this pump a centrifugal
plant may be substituted at less cost,
although it wji11 not be equally as ef-
ficient.
We advise an additional centrifugal
plant at the level, connected with the
new gas engine installed there for
use in emergencies, and estimate the
ccst at $2,000.
We estimate the total of all recom-
mended improvements, including su-
pervision and contingency, at the to-
tal sum of $79,200; or, if the centrif-
ugal plant is substituted at Eagle
Point Station for the high duty pump,
this may be reduced to $63,200. We
believe this sum should be expended
upon the plant at once, in order to
reduce the high cost of operation, in-
crease the water supply and provide
for emergencies.
We have endeavored to point out
clearly that a water plant in a growing
city is never finished and is continual-
ly requiring fresh investment of cap-
ital, to keep pace with changing con-
ditions, increasing population, or mod-
ern requirements, even if growth in
population is slow, conditions in dif-
ferent parts of a City are constantly
changing and require close watchful-
ness and continual betterments to
keep pace with fire protection and do-
mestic needs. We have pointed out
some of these prospective needs which
we have not estimated or recommend-
ed at this time in view of the addi-
tions already urged upon you.
For a full discussion of all these
questions we would respectfully refer
yeti to the report itself.
Thanking you for your consideration
and confidence, we remain,
Very truly yours,

REPORT
upon the
DUBUQUE CITY WATER WORKS.
March 14th, 1906.
JOHN W. ALVORD,
Hydraulic Engineer,
1207 Hartford Bldg.,
Chicago, Ill.
CHARLES B. BURDICK,
Associate.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—We have been asked
by you to make a thorough examina-
tion of the Dubuque City Water Works
and report to you upon the following
matter:
1st. A reasonable estimate of the
monies expended in "better-
ments" to the plant since the
date of transfer to the city on
June 1st, 1900.
2nd. Are the "betterments" that have
been made wise and proper?
3rd. In what respects is the present
plant defective and how can it
be improved? What will the
improvements cost and what
saving or improvement in the
service will they effect?
Pursuant to your request we have
made a thorough and detailed exami-
nation of the plant extending over the
period January 17th to February 21st,
1906, and beg to report therein as fol-
lows, taking up the above subjects in
the order named.
In considering the matters here dis-
cussed sharp distinctions must be
drawn. between "Betterments," "Ex-
penditures to make good deprecia-
tion" and "Maintenance.'
As these terms are understood in
accounting a "Betterment" is in the
nature of an original expenditure to
secure a certain service, or in the im-
provement or enlargement of an ex-
isting service. Thus extensions to
the pipe system to suply new consum-
ers, larger pumps of better economy,
a new supply of water to make good
increased demand or a demand for
purer water, reinforcing mains to
strengthen the pipe system and im-
prove the fire service due to city
growth or more exacting demands by
1"surance companies; all these are in
the nature of original expenditures to
'Tierra s. or improve the service and
m»•et be regarded as betterments.
"Depreciation." as it is ordinarily
144 Regular Session June 7, 1906
understood, is the decrease in value of
a structure due to natural or artificial
causes. It is measured, in account-
ing by the annual sinking fund accu-
mulation necessary to replace the
structure at the end of its life. The
life may be long or short depending
upon the structure, the use to which
it is put, or developments which tend
to render the structure obsolete.
The repair of ordinary accidents to
any structure are properly charged to
"Maintenance" which is a part of the
operating expenses or running ex-
penses of a plant.
No system of water works can ever
be considered as completed as long
as cities continue to grow, provisions
for the protection of health continue
to be better understood and guarded
against, better service- demanded, and
inventions continue to be made which'
tend to reduce the cost of service. A
water works must grow with the de-
mands made upon it. The best wise
procedure can do is to provide for the
near future, with an eye to what can
be done when future conditions de-
mand it.
The Estimated Cost of the Better-
ments and the Wisdom of These
Expenditures.
Estimated Value of Betterments.
The writers of this report were both
connecteu with tne iuouque vvater
Worits under the "Company," imme-
diately preceding and at tne time of the
transfer to the city on June 1st, 1900.
We were intimately acquainted with
the plant as it existed at that time,
and we have in our possession the in-
ventory upon which the valuation prev-
ious to transfer were based.
At your request we have made a
critical examination of the plant as it
exists today, with a view to the esti-
mated value of the betterments to the
plant made since the transfer. We
have questioned those in charge of the
plant and have examined the books
in order to obtain a complete list of
the minor betterments, the existence
of which might easily escape the mem-
ory of those in charge.
Having secured a complete list c;'
the betterments, we made a detailed
examination of the plant, and so far
as was possible identified the enumer-
ated betterments on the ground, tak-
ing such measurements as were nec-
essary to satisfy us as to the amount
of work that was done, and the amount
and kind of material used. We have
noted the circumstances under which
the work was done as affecting its
cost, and the nature of the difficulties
encountered in the construction.
The prices of material and labor
used in the estimates are, so far as it
was possible to obtain them, those
prevailing in the locality at the time
the wort was done. A portion of the
work was done under prices exceed-
ing those prevailing today, and other
portions were done under lower prices.
Taking for instance, the item of cast
iron pipe; the highest price occurred
late in the fall of 1902 when pipe was
worth about p35 per ton, laid down
on the streets. The lowest price oc-
curred in the summer of 1.4 when
pipe could be laid down at $26 per ton.
The average price prevailing through-
out the period when pipe was laid,
since the transfer to the city, taken in
connection with the tonnage purchased
under each price, is $29 per ton on
a total of 388 tons purchased. The
price today is about $31 per ton and
therefore to duplicate the pipe lines
at the present time, the expenditure
for pipe would exceed the price actu-
ally paid by about 6 per cent. Other
materials have ranged in price even
more and labor has shown a regular
increase, so that it is probable that
the cost of duplicating the betterments
today would exceed our estimates by
net less than 6 per cent.
A summary of the betterments, to-
gether with our estimate of the cost
of duplicating them, based upon prices
at the time of construction is as fol-
lows: To those who desire to go into
the details of these estimates we
would refer to the appendix of this
report where all details are fully set
forth.

timated at the prices prevailing dur-
ing the construction.
The Wisdom of the Betterments.
In order to have an intelligent un-
derstanding as to the wisdom of the
improvements that have been made
during the past five years, it will be
best to go back to the date of trans-
fer, June 1st, 1900, and obtain an un-
derstanding as to the conditions pre-
vailing at that time.
The average water consumption of
the city in 1900 was about 2 1-2 million
gallons per day, and the maximum
consumption was about 2 3-4 million
gallons per day. The artesian wells
at Eagle Point were pumped by the
Smedley pumps, drawing the water
from the wells directly by suction.
and thus producing from 1 to 1 1-2
millien gallons per day. The 8th street
station was producing about 1-2 mil-
lion gallons per day, and the flow from
the level varied with the wetness of
the season and fell to about 1-4 of a
million gallons per day during the
summer months when water was most
in demand.
It will thus be seen that the -wail-
able sources were insufficient without
drawing from the river, with its con-
sequent disadvantages. There were
months when the ground water sources
were sufficient, and there were other
times when it was necessary to draw
water from the river in order to keep
a sufficient supply in the reservoir.
The nn desirability of the use of im-
pnriRed river water need not her. he
commented nnnn. as the citizens of Du -
intone are well aware of the unsatis-
faotory anality of this water.
In an attempt to avoid the necessity
of pumping river water, the construc-
tion of the Gth avenue well was be-
gun in July, 1900, but the additional
now secured was not sufficient to meet
even the maximum demands at tnat
timk., and in the summer of 1901 a
small air compressor was installed at
an expense of $800 to augment the
flow from the two artesian wells at
the Eagle Point station. This addition
to the water supply proved insu,ii-
cient, and in 1902 the present large air
compressor was installed, at an ex-
pense of about $3,8uu.
During the same year a nest of 13
2 1-2 inch drive wells about 100 feet
in depth, were sunk at Eagle Point, at
a cost of about $2,500, and the flow of
water from these wells was so sods -
factory that in the following year
(1903) 5 of the old 6 inch drive wells,
which had been constructed by the
company upon the river bank, and
subsequently abandoned, were clean-
ed out by the city and found to give a
good flow when properly pumped.
With the acquisition of the drive wells,
the necessity of going to the river,
even in emergency was done away
with.
During the years 1904-5 the water
ccnsumption of the city increased.
quite rapidly, due, no doubt, in part
to the increasing number of consum-
ers, and in order to keep pace with
the increaseC demand for water six.
additional 6 inch wells were driven
upon the river bank, at a total ex-
pense, including connections and'
cleaning of the old wells, of about
$8.200. In 1905 a second group of 4
G inch wells were driven and connect-
ed, at a cost of about $1,760.
All of the driven wells, including
the 15 6 inch wells and 13 2 1-2 inch
wells (all approximately 100 feet in
depth) are pumped by the old Smed-
ley pumps, installed by the Water
Company. These pumps are of the
triple compound or triple extension
type, are operated with a condenser,
and were designed to pump against the
city pressure. As at present operated
they discharge into the reservoir at
Eagle Point, from which the Holly
pumping engine discharges the water
into the city pipe system and the res-
ervo'r at the level.
As to the wisdom of the above bet-
terments, it is our opinion that they
have, in the main, been wisely made.
We presume there is no one in Du-
buque that will question the undesir-
ability of Dumping impurifled river wa-
ter. or who would not sanction rea-
sonable expet.ditures to procure
ground water of recognized clearness
and purity, providing that it is in other
146

respects satisfactory. There have been
perhaps some inadvisable attempts to
secure deep artesian water, although
the monies so expended have been
small, and may be excused upon the
reasonable assumption that the water
department was cramped for money,
and leaned too strongly toward the
endeavor to increase the supply of wa-
ter at an inadvisably small expense.
The first compressor installed was
evidently of insufficient capacity to
accomplish the desired results
The advisability of the 6th avenue
artesian well may perhapo be ques-
tioned. As it at present exists, it is
practically no use to the water works,
and it is of such small diameter that
its future utility is doubtful, even
when equipped with modern deep well
pumping machinery.
On the other hand the city is to be
congratulated upon the results that
have been secured from the drive
wells.
These wells, at ordinary low stage
of the river, such as existed at the
time of our investigation in February
of this year, produce two million gal—
lons of water per day. The remainder
of the total pumpage (the total pump -
age amounts to between three and
four millions), is furnished by the
artesian wells at Eagle Point, and the
artesian well at the 8th street station.
'The former wells, at certain times,
are pumped by the air lift system,
but for the most part especially dur-
ing reasonable river stages when the
drive wells flow an increased quan-
tity, the artesian wells are not pumped
but flow by gravity to the amount of
about 500,000 gallons per day.
The 8th street well is pumped by
direct suction, and the water there-
from is discharged directly into the
mains, principally the low level pipe
system.
A number of minor betterments
have been adde to the Eagle Point
pumping plant, the principal item of
which is $1,663 for a 4 inch suction
pipe to the river, the construction of
a pit, and the installation therein
of a small steam pump for the purpose
of obtaining river water to supply
boilers and condensers. which tends
to the conservation of the well water.
and further gives a water better
adapted for steaming purposes than
the artesian water or the drive well
water, which is undesirable for this
use. The wisdom of using river wa-
ter for this purnose is not questioned,
but in view of the fact that 2 16 inch
cast iron suction pines at that time
connected the Dumping station and the
.river, it is difficult to see why this line
of 4 inch pipe should have been laid.
About one-third of this expenditure is
useful at the present time.
The remaining expenditures at Ea-
gle Point induce *1,255 for a slate
roof over the old pump house to re-
place a corrugated iron roof which was
in bad condition at the time of the
transfer, a new condenser to handle
the steam from the air compressor,
the Smedley pumps, etc., costing aua2
and a new and stronger floor to enable
a portion of the old pump house to be
used for coal storage, $431; and about
20 minor betterments ranging from $15
to $250, all of which expenditures have
been wisely made, are at present in
use, and tend toward the betterment
of the station.
At the 8th street station we have
estimated the value of the betterments
at $1,022, the largest item of which
($576) is for an additional air cham-
ber. There are nine additional bet-
terments to this station, ranging in
cost from $5 to $100. We believe all
of these betterments were warranted.
We have estimated the value of the
betterments at the Level station at
$2,937, the principal item of which
($2,438) is for a gasoline engine to be
used in operating the high service
pump. At the present tiro" witiinut
this gasoline engine there is no re -
se, ve for the high service district in
:ase of accident to the electric gen-
erating machinery at Eagle Point, or
to the transmission line between Ea-
gle Point and the level, except the 8th
street pumping station, and we are
informed by your superintendent that
the 8th street station. has u^^n sev-
eral occasions, proved insufficient in
capacity to maintain the water level
in the high service standpipe.
The desirability of reserve pumping
apparatus for the high service district.
cannot be questioned. We would go
further, however, in adding a pump to
this gasoline engine, which, so far
as we know, was not contemplated by
the Water Works trustees. We un-
derstand that their plan was, in case
of emergency, to belt the gasoline en-
gine to the present Dean triplex pow-
er pump. This arrangement is a good
one so far as it goes, but in case of
accident to the pump, would be of no
use. We will discuss this matter fur-
ther in our recommendations for the
improvement of the plant.
The minor betterments at the level
include $300 for an addition to the
building to accommodate the gas en-
gine, $158 for an air chamber and
three minor items aggregating $42.
We do not question the wisdom of any
Regular Session June 7, 1906 147
of these expenditures at the level sta-
tion.
In regard to the additions to the pipe
system, including 29 different exten-
sions and aggregating some 3 1-2
miles of pipe, we would offer no crit-
icism. These extensions are, for the
most part 6 inch pipe. One extension,
viz: The alley between Iowa and
Clay, 4th to 7th, consists of 10 inch
pipe, which was laid to replace the
4 inch wooden main which formerly
occupied this alley, and which, for
several years, has been a source of
trouble and expense to the water de-
partment.
The Present Plant and Recommenda-
tions for Its Improvement.
The Present Plant.
The pumping at Dubuflu, is done in
three stations,—Eagle Point, 8th St.,
and The Level. The machinery in-
stalled, and the nature of the service
in the various stations is as follows:
Eagle Point Station.
Holly Pumping Engine, Compound,
Condensing, Crank and fly wheel.
Rated capacity 5 million gallons per 24
hours against 85 lbs. water pressure.
At present pumping 2.8 million gallons
per day against 45 lbs. pressure. This
engine draws water from the Eagle
Point Reservoir, and supplies the low
level pipe system.
Allis Engine—Size 11 in. and 20 in.
by 36 in stroke, Corliss Compound,
Condensing. Rated 103 H. P.
This engine is belt connected to a
75 K. W. alternating current generator,
which supplies the current for the
motor operating the triplex pump at
the Level. The capacity of this pump
is 1 million gals. per day against a
head of 300 ft. The plant works at full
capacity when operating, and at pres-
ent is pumping an average of 600,000
gallons per day.
Smedley Pumps—Two Pumps, Du-
plicates. Direct Acting, Triple Expan-
sion, Condensing. Rated capacity each,
3 million gals. per day against about
100 ft. head.
These pumps were designed to pump
from the river into the low level pipe
system. They are used at present to
pump from the drive wells into the
Eagle Point Reservoir against a total
head of about 36 ft., and delivering
water at the rate of about 2y is million
gals. per day. One pump
ordi-
narily operated.
Stilwell—Bierce & Smith -Vane Air
Compressor—Sim')le, Duplex,
Crank
and fly wheel Condensing. Size, 14
in. by 18 in. stroke, Air Piston 18 in.
Ordinary speed 77 R.P.M. As ordi-
narily operated this compressor fur-
nishes air to operate the water lifts
in the artesian wells. The ordinary
air pressure is about 34 lbs. The air
lifts discharge, when operated about
1,650,000 gals. per day into the Eagle
Point Reservoir at a lift of about 40 ft.
Eighth Street Station.
Two Smedley pumps, as follows:
(1) One direct acting, triple ex-
pansion, condensing pump; size 9 in.
and 12 in. and 18 in. by 12 in. by 18 in.
stroke. Capacity 1 1-2 million gallons
against about 100 ft. water head. This
pump is used to pump water from the
artesian well by suction, and discharge
same into the low level pipe system.
This pump has usually been operated
continuously previous to the last two
years, when it has been run intermit-
tently.
(2) One direct acting, triple ex-
pansion condensing pump. Size 10
and 14 and 22 by 18 by 18 in. stroke.
Capacity. 1 1-4 million gals. per day
against about 400 ft. head. This pump
is intended to supply the high level
pipe system, but is so connected that it
can be used in emergency to supply
the low level pipe system. This pump
has not been operated to any consid-
erable extent in several years.
Level Station.
As before stated, this station is ordi-
narily operated by electric power from
Eagle Point.
There has been recently installed a
76 H.P. Nash Gasoline Engine, which
can be belted to the pump in case of
accident, or to the electric generator
or transmission line.
Cost of Operation, Present Stations.
Upon the following page will be
found a tabulation or analysis (Table
No. 1.) of the operation and main-
tenance expense of the pumping sta-
tions. Upon the next following page
(Table No. 2) will be found a compari-
son of expense and pumpage, and also
a comparison of the pumpage and the
total operating expense of the entire
plant. The information in reference
to the expenditures has been furnished
us by Messrs. Pogson, Peloubet & Co.,
Public Accountants, to whom you have
delegated the examination of the book
accounts.
Examination of the operating ex-
penses shows a gradual increase in
practically all items of expense. As
regards the office expense and the ex-
pense on the streets, meters, etc., the
increase in the expenditures is
not particularly noteworthy. As re-
gards
office
expense,
iincea eis largelya explained by the
lack of office help and the unusually
low salaries paid during the early
years of the city management. At the
present time the street and general
expense is not large as compared with
other works similarly situated.
The operating expense of the stations
is. however, unusually large, and shows
ail unhealthy increase, even when com-
Regular Session June 7, 1906
pared with some considerable increase
in the quantity of water pumped.
As regards the cost of pumpage at
the Level Station, no criticism can be
made. As will be noted, the lift, or
head, pumped against at this station
is about three times that under which
the Holly pump at Eagle Point is
working, and, as you will notice, the
cost per million gallons, lifted 100 ft.
compares very favorably with the
Eagle Point pumpage costs in 1901,
when the Holly engine was doing the
majority of the work.
The operation cost at the 8th Street
Station, when compared with the serv-
ice rendered, shows an extravagance
that should not longer be permitted.
Heretofore this station could not be
shut down, as the water from the
Eighth St. well could not be spared.
You have, however, at the present
time ample water which can easily be
developed at Eagle Point, and with
such water economically developed and
provisions made for emergency by du-
plicate machinery at the Level (which
has now been partly made) the city
can not afford to operate this station.
It is at Eagle Point, however, that
the greatest expenditures have been
made for operation, and to which we
must look for the greatest saving.
Referring to Table No. 2, it will be
noticed that there is a gradual in-
crease in the cost of the water per
million gallons at Eagle Point during
1900, 1901, and 1902. The following
year, however, the cost increased near-
ly 100 per cent., and has remained
practically the same since that time,
although when compared with the
pumpage, a considerable decrease has
been shown since the high year (1903).
This is partly due to a considerable in-
crease in the quantity of water
pumped, and no doubt also partly due
to less use of the air compressor,
which is probably somewhat more ex-
travagant than the Smedley pumps,
as used at present.
The following table will serve to il-
lustrate the growing cost of operating
the station, and perhaps indicate.
where we may look for the cause:

considered.
An examination of the above table
shows that during the early years a
very fair economy was secured. Dur-
ing the first three years the Holly
pump and the Allis engine were doing
the larger part of the work, and the
Smedley pumps, if occasionally used,
as was probably the case, especially in
1902 and 1903, were not running at the
high speed as at present, and were
also no doubt in better condition than
now as they had received a thorough
overhauling in 1899. The economy was
evidently somewhat affected by the
use of the small air compressor in-
stalled in the summer of 1901, as the
station economy for the years 1901 and
1902 shows a gradual decline from 1900.
In November, 1902, however, the
large compressor was installed. Its
effect is somewhat noted in the year
1902, but it was not until the year 1903
(in which the compressor was operated
23 hours per day) that the full effect
was felt in the station duty. In this
year the station economy dropped to
about one-half of what it had been in
former years.
It will be noted that repairs were
large in this year, which is partly ac-
counted for by extensive repairs to the
boilers.
In February, 1903, several of the old
6 in. wells drilled by the Company were
cleaned out and presumably pumped
by the Smedley pumps, although the
station record does not show any con-
siderable use of these pumps until Jan-
uary, 1904. Meanwhile several addi-
tional drive wells had been drilled:
more were driven in 1904 and 1905, and
one of the Smedley pumps has been
operated practically continuously since
early in 1904. The operation of the
Smedley pump is slightly less extrava-
gant than the use of the air lift, and
what has been more important to the
plant, more water has been produced
than has been possible by operating
the air lift. In 1905, the compressor
was operated only about one-half the
time, and is used less at present, it
being operated only a sufficient num-
ber of times to make up the deficiency
of the drive wells.

In order to show more clearly where
the coal is going we have prepared the
following estimate of the coal used at
Eagle Point : based on the records of
total consumption, and some tests of
the machinery that we made during
our investigation. As the relative
economy of the Smedley pumps and
the air compressor do not differ great-
ly we have included them together as
low lift machinery.

An examination of this table dis-
closes the fact that the low lift ma-
chinery, namely the air compressor
and the Smedley pump are doing about
one-fifth .of the work and are consum-
ing two thirds of the coal. An exami-
nation of the machines discloses why
such is the case.
The Smedley pumps, when in good
condition and when operating under
the conditions for which they were de-
signed are doubtless fairly efficient
machines. They were designed, how-
ever, to operate against a water
pressure of 100 feet or more, and as
at present used against a head, (suc-
tion and discharge) of about 36 ft. the
steam cylinders are much too large,
and there are too many of them. A
triple expansion direct acting pump is
not adapted to this lift even when es-
pecially designed for it. The condition
of the water ends, in the pump in op-
eration during our visit, was in bad
condition as is evidenced by the fact
that the speed of the pump was ap-
proximately twice as great as would
be necessary to pump the water (which
was measured) with the plungers and
rings in good condition. It should be
said, however, that it was necessary to
run the pump at this high speed in
order to produce a vacuum on the
drive wells which would produce the
quantity of water demanded by the
city.
In regard to the air lift pumping ap-
paratus, the economy was al
otfous asd
to be unsatisfactory. Such
we were able to make during the lim-
ited time at our disposal show the
facts to be approximately as follows:
the air compressor being at work in
the operation of both of the Eagle
Point wells and in all respects in the
manner as usually operated.

It will be noticed that these figures
correspond quite closely to the record-
ed economy of the station when this
machine was largely operated.
The air lift as a pumping device is
capable of better efficiency than is here
shown but there is machinery now in
the market capable of showing about
twice the economy of the best air lift
plant that we know of, and fully six
times the economy of the plant in-
stalled at Dubuque.
WATER CONSUMPTION PRESENT
AND FUTURE.
Before discussing an improved water
supply and the best lines along which
it should be developed let us first in-
vestigate the requirements present and
future as regards the quantity of water
required.
Upon the following two pages 's a
tabulated statement of pumpages as
recorded at the several stations w!th
allowance in the yearly summary for
the estimated flow of the "Level".
152
Regular Session June 7, 1906
We also herewith present the above
information in the form of a graphical
diagram, which will perhaps show the
facts more clearly. The diagram shows
the pumpage at 8th Street and the nat-
ural flow of the level added to the
pumpage at Eagle Point. This is the
total water consumption of the city. A
portion of this water is, however, re -
pumped at the Level Pumping Stat'on
as is shown by the line at the bottom
of the diagram.
It will be observed late in 1901 and
early in 1902 the pumpage at the Level
Station rose considerably above the
normal. This fact is no doubt due to
had condition of the pump plungers,
which are understood to have been de-
fective at that time allowing an undue
slip past the plungers and, therefore,
apparently registering more water than
was actually delivered.
The flow from the level as measured
at the time of the appraisal was 350,000
gallons per day, which probably nearly
represents the normal flow today. .an
examination of the Level pumpa ge
shows amounts pumped somewhat in
excess of this figure. At the present
time about three-fourths of the water
pumped is obtained from the Level
and the remainder is furnished by the
low level pipe system from Eagle Point
and EI_hth Street.

An examination of the pumpage dia-
gram shows that the total water con-
sumption of the city remained practi-
cally constant throughout the year 1900,
1901, 1902 and 1903; from this point up
to the present, however, the consump-
tion has increased at the rate approx-
imately 1-2 million gallons per day per
year.
The rate of growth in population of
Dubuque has been as follows:
Year 1870 about 18,300
Year 1880 about _22,200
Year 1890 U. S. Census 30,311
Year 1900 U. S. Census 36,297
Year 1905 School Census 42,000
It will be observed that the rate of
increase during the decade ending with
1900 was approximately 600 per year.
During the last five years the rate of
increase has apparently been 1,200 per
year. The school census may, of
course, be somewhat inaccurate, but it
is not unreasonable to expect that the
rate of increase for the next ten years
will equal 1,000 per year and perhaps
more. It may, of course, be very large-
ly affected by local causes. It will be
wise and prudent, therefore, in making
any extensive betterments to the water
works to provide for a population of
between 50,000 and 60,000, which will
probably be reached between 1916 and
1920, and at the same time we should
make our improvements with the idea
in mind that they must ultimately be
still further increased at some future
date.
The present water consumption of the
city is approximately 4 1-2 million gal-
lons per day or 100 gallons per capita.
At the present rate of increase in the
pumpage it will equal 9 1-2 million gal-
lons per day in 1916 or more than 150
gallons per capita. It is our belief,
however, that this rate of increase is
not warranted and with proper care in
the restriction of waste can be pre-
vented. In this connection it will be
observed that during the past two
years about 35 per cent has been added
to the pumpage and only about 15 per
cent to the number of taps, and even
a less amount to the revenues from
water.
The secretary reports 2,525 taps on
December 31, 1905, and at the present
time there are 389 meters in service.
About 15 per cent of the taps, there-
fore, are metered. There were on Feb-
ruary 21, 1906, 176 meters in the shop
of the company, 137 of which were in
bad order. These meters should he
repaired, and properly placed would
accomplish considerable in keeping the
pumpage within reason.
That it is possible to keep the water
consumption within very reasonable
limits is attested by several notable
instances within your state. At Des
Moines with 57 per cent of the taps
metered the consumption is 48 gallons
per capita; at Sioux City with 51 tier
cent of the taps metered the consump-
tion is 43 gallons per capita. At Cedar
Rapids when the city took possession
of the plant in 1902 the average daily
pumpage was about 4 million gallons
per day. By the addition of about 50
per cent to the meters in use (making
1,300 in use today or 32 per cent of the
consumers) and the restriction of a
154 Regular Session June 7, 1906
large waste in the flushing of sewers
the consumption has been cut down to
2 million gallons per day, a reduction
of one-half and this in the face of a
healthy increase in the number of con-
sumers, which aggregate 4,100 at the
present time.
It is our opinion that a source cap-
able of supplying 5 to 6 million gallons
per 24 hours is sufficient to meet the
reasonable needs of the city for the
next ten or fifteen years and possibly
longer.
THE SOURCES OF SUPPLY.
There are three sources of water
supply available at Dubuque. 1st.
Deep or Artesian wells. 2nd. Shallow
Dr driven wells, and 3rd. The Missis-
sippi River.
The first two are of undoubted clear-
ness and purity, and the third,
although the sole supply of more than
one and one-half million people is not
fit for use without purification.
In order that we may better under-
stand the conditions bearing upon the
water supply problem we will discuss
these sources in the order named.
ARTESIAN WELLS.
The upper one-third of the State of
Illinois, the northeastern portion of
Iowa and a large portion of Wisconsin
are particularly fortunate as regards
their water supplies in that they over-
lie one of the most extensive and cop-
ious artesian water supplying stratas
in this country. Two water bearing
sandstones furnish the principal supply
of water, the most important of which
Is the Potsdam, about 1,400 feet in
thickness near Dubuque and penetrat-
ed at a depth of about 500 feet. The
St. Peters sandstone of secondary
water supplying capacity overlies the
Potsdam and is separated from same
by a comparatively non porous stra-
tum, about 100 to 150 feet in thickness.
The St. Peters is probably 100 to 150
feet thick at Dubuque. Both sandstone
stratas, the Potsdam particularly, are
quite open and free in their texture and
freely admit of the percolation of wat-
er; both stratas are practically contin-
uous over the large area named above
and gradually rise to the northward
where they "out crop" or intersect the
surface of the ground, the St. Peters
in south central Wisconsin and the
Potsdam to the northward. The eleva-
tions of these out crops are consider-
ably above Dubuque and the sand-
stones to the southward of the nut
crops are overlaid by impervious
limestones and drifts which confine
the water and prevent its escape to
the surface of the ground.
The sandstone when penetrated at
Dubuque cause the water to rise in
the well and if confined in a pipe the
water will rise some distance above the
surface. If the pipe be tapped at the
surface of the ground the well will
flow and the head which induces the
flew is the difference between the
ground level and the head to which it
would rise if confined in a pipe. By
attaching a pump to the top of the well
we can by suction reduce the head on
the well to a distance of about 20 feet
below the ground surface with a pro-
portional increase in the water drawn
from the well. By lowering a pump
barrel into the well we can still further
reduce the head with a consequ grit
further increase in the quantity drawn.
It has been proven by repeated practi-
cal tests that the flow obtained is al-
most in direct proportion to the head
removed; thus if the water stands in
the well 10 feet above the surface AN ith
no flow, and flows say 100 gallons per
minute if the vertical pipe be tappxd
or removed at the surface, if pumped
by suction to a depth of 10 below the
surface the flow will be 200 gallons per
minute, 20 feet 300 gallons per minute
and so on, so that if we do not draw
sufficient water to seriously affect the
general rock water level of the vicinity
we are limited only, in the quantity of
water that we may secure by the
depth at which it is practicable to
place machinery.
All of the above facts are true
whether the wells give a free flow at
the surface or whether the water
stands in the well several hundred feet
below the surface.
The principal dimensions of the
Eagle Point Wells are as follows:

In order to demonstrate the possibil-
ities of increased pumpage from these
wells, several measurements of their
flow were made under different condi-
tions of water level.

ed by pumping the wells with the air

head on the wells. The results of these

wnicn in audition gives an indication
of what may be expected from the
deep pumping of these wells.
It snould ba said in connection with
these tests that they were not con-
tinued for a sufficient time nor with
sufficient precautions against small er-
rors to male them more than a guide
to the possibilities of deep pumping.
Before definitely laying out the plans
for pumping these wells, additional
tests should be made of longer dura-
tion and with better facilities for
measurement than were possible in
the brief time at our disposal.
In designing machinery for these
wells, due regard must be given the
change in the rock water level
throughout the passage of years. This
rock water level has fallen probably
20 feet in seven years and will no
doubt continue to fall.
It is possible, however, to install
pumping machinery in such manner
that the result of the drop in water
level will only be felt in an increas-
ed left upon the pump the quantity
obtainable remaining practically con-
stant.
After reviewing all the facts it is
our opinion that it is practicable to
obtain a constant and unfailing supply
from these wells of 2 1-2 million gal-
lons per day.
If the water is used somewhat in-
termittently as might be the case
when operated in connection with a
system of drive wells, 3 million gal-
lons per day may be obtained.
It is possible by the installation of
proper machinery to pump these wells
at the above rates at a cost of more
than one-half less than it is costing to
operate the wells at present.
Drive Wells.
The "Company" several years pre-
vious to the transfer to the city con-
structed an extensive system of drive
wells upon the river bank. This well
system according to the company's in-
ventory consisted of six 6 inch wells
and 358 2 inch wells. For some rea-
son not accounted for these wells were
a failure. In view of the good results
obtained by the city in pumping the
old 6 inch wells and additional wells
which have since been drilled by the
city the failure may have been due to
defective connections to the wells or
the improper pumping of same. The
value of these wells was not recog-
nized at the time of the sale of the
plant and the city practically got them
for nothing. The trustees and the
superintendent. Mr. McArthur, are to
be commended for the shrewdness
and skill thus displayed in thus ren-
dering useful a valueless property.
The 6 inch wells are stated In the
company inventory to be 95 feet deep
and the 2 inch wells 64 feet deep.
According to the statement of your
sunerintendent. Mr. McArthur, the
drifts noni'trated in drilling later wells
are as follows:

An examination of the strata pene-
trated shows in part why the e;om-
pany's inert wells failed. Tney were
not deep enough to tap the gravel bed
which furnishes the most plenteous
supply.
The sanitary character of this drive
well water is excellent as is shown
by analysis which we have examined.
This is to be expected from the posi-
tion of the water bearing gravel over-
laid by two layers of blue clay and
hardpan aggregating nearly GO feet in
thickness. This is the ideal situation
for drive wells.
As to the hardness of the water, we
should have preferred to see an anal-
ysis for hardness, but in the absence
of same the fact that no complaint has
been made by consumers during two
years in which this water has made
up the larger portion of the water
pumped is good evidence that the wa-
ter is not materially harder than the
water to which the city has been ac-
customed. The water is said, how-
ever, to be somewhat harder than
that from the artesian wells.
The horizontal extent of the water
bearing area is important as regards
the permanency of the wells. The ex-
tent is not known, but the fact that
these wells have been pumped for two
years, lately at the rate of two mil-
lion gallons per day without apprecia-
bly lowering the ground water level
is good evidence that the area is exten-
sive. It does not prove, however, that
we can increase the pumpage from
this source indefinitely.
As to the source of this water, it un-
doubtedly owes an origin to rain fall-
ing on the land at some place, how
far distant from the wells we do not
know, but probably at no great dis-
tance as compared to the travel of the
water supplying the artesian wells.
The water level of the wells is notice-
ably affected by elevations of the river
The water level of the wells is
noticeably affected by elevations
of the river as would be ex-
pected, which proves a connection
between the water bearing sane
and the river bed. This does not
prove, however, that any large part
of the water comes from the river. It
has been proven again and again that
the natural flow of ground water is to-
ward the streams and not away from
them, and the character of the silts
whichline the usual river bed are
such that as to relieve pressure from
below and allow the ground water to
enter the river, but when it is attempt-
ed to force flow the other way the
sands nninkly seal up and ston the
flow. This fact has been shown in
several attempts to obtain clear wa-
ter in the sandy bottom of Lake 1Vlich-
igan.
What has been said in reference to
the relative head removed or depth
of pumping in artesian wells applies
to the drive wells. With an ample
supply and large water bearing area
the quantity which it is possible to
secure from any system of wells bears
a direct ratio to the amount of head
which we can remove from the well
by pumping. With pumps upon the
surface we are practically limited to
a pull or head removal of about 26
feet. If we can set our pump down
in the well we can increase the depth
of suction, or head removal and cor-
respondingly increase the quantity of
water possible to pump.
This fact has been proven in the op-
eration of the Dubuque station. It has
been noticed that when the river is
high, (and consequently the ground
water is high) the pumpage has been
materially increased, and the reverse
has been true in seasons of extremely
low water in the river. This altera-
tion in the ground water level is in
effect the same as would be secured
by setting the pump at a lower eleva-
tion with a fixed water level, and is a
key to the possibility of materially
increasing the supply from your pres-
ent system of wells.
During our investigation we made a
measurement of the pumpage from
the drive wells and at the same time
noted by means of vacuum guages the
suction or head removal which occa-
sioned the observed flow. The ele-
vations which govern this flow are as
follows. All elevations are in refer-
ence to city data.

lu order to do this economically the
pump should be installed in a pit and
drive wells cut off at the pump level
and piped horizontally to the pump.
In this way one pump can handle all
the wells.
It is possible that the screening well
already constructed can be used for
this purpose. It is deep enough and
probably large enough. The cost of
this screening well was about $1,000.
In working out plans due consideration
should be given to this point. As the
screening well is at present usefal in
screening boiler and condensor water
it may be desirable to construct a new
pit for the operation of the drive wells
at or nearer to the pump house.
Improvements Contemplated by the
Company.
Those familial' with the Dubuque
water works at the time of the pur-
chase by the city win ieeati t.te
provements contemplated by the com-
pany before notice of intended pur-
chase was served.
It was the intention of the company
to concentrate all power at Eagle
Point, and supply the hill service by
electricity. It was further their in-
tention to construct a filter plant and
use the Mississippi river as the prin-
cipal source of supply. It will be re-
membered that contracts were let and
improvements under way at the time
the city served notice of purchase.
At that time and subsequently such
contracts as possible were settled and
the additional water supply was never
developed.
In several respects conditions have
changed since the company formulated
its plans in 1898, the more important
of which are the recent developments
in deep well pumping machinery and
what is equally important the discov-
ery of a large supply of shallow
ground water from drive wells.
In 1898 the only method of securing
deep ground waters in considerable
quantities at a fair economy, lay in
the construction of deep pits in which
pumps were located and tunnels i'^'ti-
ating to several artesian wells. This
method had been developed at that
time at Memphis and Rockford and
has since been resorted to at Elgin
and Fort Worth. The obiections to
this method are large first cost and
Inadantability to large changes in the
ground water level which future con-
ditions may bring forth. These diffi-
culties are obviated by recent im-
provements in the design of vertical
shaft centrifugal numns of small diam-
eter which can be dropped into the
slightly enlarged wellbores of each
well and operated by any convenient
power at tne surface.
This type of pump is in service at
Milwaukee, Waterloo and elsewnere
and is being installed in several Chi-
cago suburban towns. The pump has
tne important advantage that should
future conditions lower the rock: wa-
ter level it is necessary only to drop
the pump deeper and add to the length
of discharge pipe and shaft.
With the above possibilities in the
way of deep rock waters, and an ad-
ditional supply of less lift from drive
wells, the city would not be warranted.
at this time in going to the river as a
source of supply. With the best im-
proved devices good filtration is se-
cured at the price of continued watch-
fulness and anxiety, and should not be
resorted to if pure ground waters are
to be obtained at a reasonable ex-
pense.
Best Method of Developing Ground
Supplies.
In our opinion there is no question
as to the wisdom of applying the ver-
tical shaft centrifugal pump to the
Eagle Point wells. In order to do this
it will be necessary to ream out the
upper portion of the wells to a depth
of about 200 feet and to a diameter
of i5 or 1G inches.
Power can be applied to the wells
either by belting direct from steam
engines or by direct connected verti-
cal shaft electric motors. The latter
are preferable at Dubuque for the fol-
lowing reasons: The present wells are
located outside the station and sep-
arated one from the other by a dis-
tance of over 100 feet. A steam en-
gine to operate the well must be of
the horizontal shaft type and must
be belted to the well shaft by a twist-
ed belt. This arrangement would ne-
cessitate a building of considerable
size over each well, and the conse-
quent disadvantage and expense of
operating several engines widely sepa-
rated in different buildings. Further-
more at some time in the future you
will need more water than can be de-
veloped from the two wells at Eagle
Point and the next step will probably
be the similar development of the 6th
avenue well located 2,000 feet from
the station.
All of the above disadvantages are
overcome by the use of electricity as
s motive power, the pumps being op-
erated by vertical shaft motors. The
motors can be accommodated in a
small house circular in section and
nott over eight feet in diameter built
over each of the wells. The motor can
he operated without attendance fur-
ther than an occasional visit to fill
158
Regular Session June 7, 1906
the oil cups, they may be even start -
ad and stopped at a switchboard in
the pump house if desired.
Electricity is also adaptable to the
pumping of the drive wells. We be-
lieve that the drive wells can be best
developed by the centrifugal pumps
located in a central pit to which all the
wells are connected. These pumps
may be either of the horizontal shaft
type rope driven from the top of the
well or they may be of the vertical
shaft type driven by any application
of power. The pumps should be lo-
cated at or below city datum or low
water of the river.
It is feasible to construct a pit close
to the present pump house, cover it
with an addition to the building, con-
nect the pit with the drive wells by a
deep pipe and drive the pumps by
steam engine. This procedure would
be desirable if it were not for the
fact that electricity is of great ad-
vantage for the operation of the ar-
tesian wells, and with the artesian
wells operated electrically, there is
advantage in operating the drive wells
by the Uame power, in fact taking the
electricity from the same generator.
Electricity is of added advantage in
that the puma pit may be located any
where desirable on the property with
practical eonal facility of operation.
We have elven due consideration to
the possibility of installing a high
duty pluneer pump of the vertical type
with Pump Pnd set low down so that
water may he drawn from the drive
wells and disrhareed into the pipe sys-
te`"` ^+ nun nmmning.
At first thought this arrangement
would seem desirable particularly as
the station is in need of a new pump
to relieve the present Holly which is
now operated constantly. We believe
however that such an arrangement is
not desirable for several reasons. First
because such a pump is high in first
cost, a pump of 5 or 6 million gals.
capacity set with pit and connections
would not cost less than $40,000. Sec-
ond because the drive well supply at
best is only about 60 per cent. of the
total capacity of the pump and the de-
ficiency would have to be made up
with artesian well water lifted to the
reservoir by separate pumps and in
effect dropped again the level of the
drive wells and relifted by the plunger
pump. And third because the matter
of the water . supply is a somewhat
changeable quantity and may be modi-
fiedby future developments.
The system of double pumping is by
no means necessarily extravagent.
With proper machinery almost as good
efficiency can be obtained with two
lifts as with one lift, and with double
pumping your main pumps remain in-
tact regardless of deficiencies or future
changes in your water supply.
Duplicate Service at Eagle Point and
The Level.
In case of serious accident to the
Holly pump at Eagle Point great diffi-
culty would be experienced in supply-
ing the town with water. This pump
has been running day and night for
over five years. Before this station
can be considered as properly equipped
there should be installed a new engine
of duty and capacity equal to the Holly
which can relieve this pump when ne-
cessity arises.
The best pump for the service is a
good compound condensing crank and
fly wheel engine, of either the vertical
or horizontal type. A pump similar in
general features to your Holly can be
installed for about $22,000, a vertical
can be installed for $33,000 and would
barely save the interest or the differ-
ence or cost. These figures are based
upon first-class machinery, which will
pay in the long run.
If the city finds itself cramped for
funds to such degree, that it can not
afford to investin high duty machin-
ery we should recommend the installa-
tion of a steam engine direct connected
to a high lift compound centrifugal
pump, of about 5 million gallons ca-
pacity. Such an arrangement will
show an economy on steady run about
three-fourths of that possible with the
above high duty pumps and the ar-
rangement could be installed for not to
exceed $6,000. The engine could pos-
sibly be so arranged that when not
needed to drive the pump it could be
used to drive an electric generator and
thus serve in a measure to serve as a
duplicate for both the Holly pump and
the drive and artesian well pump.
As stated above in this report, there
is no complete duplicate machinery to
supply the hill service except the Sth
St. plant. The 8th Street as operated
during the past two years has cost
$3,800 per year. To maintain this sta-
tion so that it could be available dur-
ing a fire in case of accident to the
present Level station would cost not
less than $1,500 per year. This is 5 per
cent. interest on $75,000. There has
recently been installed at the Level a
gasoline engine which is intended to
,operate the triplex pump in case of ac-
cident to the electric apparatus. In
case of accident to the pump this en-
gine would be of no avail. An expense
of $2,000 will furnish a pump connect
it to this engine and provide a hous-
ing for it. The interest on this in-
vestment is only $200 per year at 10
per cent. as compared with $1,500 per
year to perform the same service at
8th St. It will be expensive to operate
the gasoline engine continuously and it
should be only used in emergency, in
Regular Session June 7, 1906

which case fuel to run it will be of no
account.
The Distribution System.
The distribution system, or system
of street mains, is very largely affected
by the peculiar surface conditions
which occur in Dubuque. The surface
topography is probaoly more rugged
than any other city in the middle west.
The elevations which govern the dis-
tribution of water are as follows: All
elevations refer to Dubuque city datum,
or approximate low water of the Mis-
sissippi River:
Elevation of floor, Eagle
Point pump house 23.83 ft.
Elevation of reservoir coping
at the Level 125.306 ft.
Base of standpipe 315.9 ft.
Top of standpipe 390.9 ft.
Owing to the great differences in
elevation, it is impracticable to supply
the entire city from one pumping sta-
tion, and, as is usually the case in cities
of similar topography, the pipe system
is divided into two districts.
The low level districts includes all
territory lying below the foot of the
bluffs except in the case of two or
three streets, such as West Locust
Street, 14th Street, 8th Street, etc.,
where the pipes of the low level dis-
trict extend part way up the bluff.
The narrow valley in the northern part
of the town, including Couler Avenue,
Jackson street, etc., northward to the
Great Western Shops, is also included
in the low level district, as well as all
the low territory adjacent to Rhom-
berg Avenue, between the city and
Eagle Point.
The high level district includes
practically all the territory west of
Bluff street and south of Seminary
avenue, the exception being two or
three mains extending part way up
the side of the bluff upon streets in
in the ravines before mentioned. The
reservoir at the level is connected
with the low level pipe system, and
limits the maximum pressure possible
therein to about 43 pounds at the
pump house and other places of equal
elevation. This is somewhat modi-
fied by the friction of the water in
the mains, and at ordinary rates of
pumpage about 45 pounds is carried
upon the pump at Eagle Point when
the reservoir is full. With this pres-
sure at Eagle Point, the static pres-
sure in practically all of the low level
district exceeds 26 pounds, the only
exception being a portion of Bluff
street, where the static pressure is
about 17 pounds, and on Dodge street,
West Third street, 8th street, 14th
street and W. Locust street, where
for a short distance in each case, a
static pressure of nine pounds pre-
vails.
In the high level district the pres-
sure at the base of the standpipe is
33 pounds when the standpipe is full,
and as the standpipe occupies the
highest ground in the vicinity, there
is only a small area in which the
pressure is less than 40 pounds. As
the edge of the bluffs is approached,
and also the streets occupying the
ravines, the pressure rapidly increases
and throughout the high level district
generally the pressure is 60 pounds or
more, increasing to over 100 pounds
in extreme cases.
The necessary sizes of the pipes
in a city such as Dubuque is governed
almost entirely by requirements for
fire protection. A comparatively small
pipe will furnish sufficient water to
supply the domestic needs in several
blocks of houses, but if even one house
is to be protected against fire, it will
be necessary to concentrate sufficient
water in the locality to supply several
good fire streams, and it is for this
reason that the pipes supplying fire
hydrants must be of large diameter,
even out to the very last hydrant upon
any line of pipe.
The question of fire protection as it
concerns the pipe system, is largely
modified by the practice in Dubuque,
of using steam fire engines. We are
informed by your fire chief that three
steam engines are in use, whose aggre-
gate capacity is 2,400 gallons per min-
ute, or 3 1-2 million gallons per day.
In order to protect the more thickly
settled portions of the city, such as
the business district, or thickly built
manufacturing or lumber districts it
is necessary to concentrate in the lo-
cality protected not less than 10 to 15
good fire streams. All three of your
fire engines, working together, are
barely sufficient to supply the neces-
sary amount of water and your pipe
system should be of sufficient capac-
ity to supply not less than 2,400 gal-
lons per minute to any closely built up
district. Throughout more sparsely
settled portions of the city, such as the
residence district, a less number of
fire streams is sufficient and pipes of
less carrying capacity are permissable.
The district lying south of 8th street
and to the eastward of the Illinois
Central depot is largely occupied by
lumber yards, saw mills and industries. At other manufacturing
the present time it cannot be said
that this district is closely built up.
As the growth continues, however,
in this district it will be necessary
to reinforce the pipe system in this
locality and such should be done as
soon as the condition ofgrowth
war-
rants it, approximately, i
e
with the map which we herewith sub-
mit.
That portion of the city lying south
of First street, is in much the same
situation as the lumber district, al-
though the class of improvements is
16o Regular Session June 7, 1906
not quite of such an Inflammable na-
ture. Additional pipes in this district
should be laid with a view to ultimate-
ly reinforcing the street mains in this
locality, substantially as outlined on
the map herewith submitted.
The main business district is, in
general, supplied by pipes of ample
capacity. Water is brougnt from the
Eagle Point pumping station, three
miles to the northward, through two
16 inch mains as far southward as
Schiller street. From this point to
the heart of the business district water
is brought through one 20 inch main
one 10 inch main and through a more
or Iess tnickly interlaced system of 4,
6, 8, 10 and 12 inch pipes.
There is, however, one unfavorable
feature of the pipe system, through-
out the business district of the city.
The first pipes in the district were
laid in the alleys, and as it was desir-
able to locate the fire hydrants at
street intersections, long hydrant
pipes were necessary (100 to 130 feet
in length, and unfortunately, most of
these long hydrant connections are 4
inches in diameter. In several cases
these long hydrant pipes "take off"
from 6 inch mains, and in one or two
instances 4 inch mains. In order,
therefore, to give adequate protection
to the business district we recommend
the reinforcement of these pipes in
certain localities, as indicated upon
the map which we herewith present.
These improvements are relatively
small in cost as compared to the good
which they will accomplish in insur-
ing a proper quantity of water during
a dangerous fire.
There is another portion of the city
in which future extensions to the pipe
system should be made with a view
to increasing the fire protection at
such time as the value of improve-
ments in the locality are sufficient to
warrant the necessary expense. We
refer to the territory in the vicinity
of Couler avenue and 28th street, near
which point the Great Western shops
are located. You will ultimately need
a feeder main of not less than 12 incn
diam to properly protect this locality.
We consider the pipe system of the
high level district adequate for pres-
ent needs, but future extensions to the
pipe system should be made with a
view to ultimately strengthening this
district, and we have shown upon the
map of the pipe system numerous
feeder lines which should be used as a
guide in future extensions to the sys-
tem.
In certain cases throughout the
whole pipe system, similar future pipes
are shown upon the submitted map.
In order that the pipe system may be
fully adequate for proper fire protec-
tion of the city at the present time,
with reasonable allowance for the re-
quirements of the immediate prospec-
tive growth, we would recommend that
several reinforcing lines be construct-
ed as soon as conveniently possible in
the near future. These lines are indi-
cated upon the map herewith submit-
ted.
The estimated cost of improvements
to the pipe system, which we believe
should be made as early as can con-
veniently be done, are as follows.

It is not to be inferred from the
above criticism that any portion of the
original pipe system of the water
works is useless or diminished in val-
ue. In fact, no portion of the origi-
nal system was improperly designed,
or Is now in any sense, valueless. But
pipe systems not only have to grow
with the growth of cities, but they
have to grow at different rates in dif-
ferent parts of the same city, and
virtually a pipe system in a growing
city, or a city whose conditions are
changing, is never wholly completed,
and it is or ought to be a matter of
constant watchfulness, by experienced
oversight, to keep the fire protection
up to its full efficiency in every sec-
tion of the city as conditions change.
Fortunately, distribution systems are
so elastic that this may nearly always
be accomplished by reinforcement and
interlacing the old pipes with new
ones, so that the old pipes still retain
their full value, and the added cost of
such reinforcement is an addition to
the value of the plant as a whole.
In recommending the above improve-
ments to the pipe system, no effort has
Regular Session June 7, 1906 16t
been male to pick the exact streets
upon which the reinforcing pipes
should be laid, except in a general way.
This is especially true in reference to
the large future mains which reinforce
the lumber district, the manufacturing
district, south of 1st Street, and the
district in the vicinity of the Great
Western shops. It is quite possible
that the routes of these pipe lines
could be altered more or less to ac-
commodate construction to future
growth and local obstacles encountered.
Recommendations.
As a result of our investigations and
studies we would recommend that the
following betterments be made to your
water works, as soon as proper pro-
vision can be made for raising the nec-
essary monies:
lst. We recommend that the pres-
ent artesian wells at the Eagle Point
Station and the present drive wells be
equipped with electric pumping ma-
chinery, and that there be installed in
the station the necessary engines and
generators to produce the current.
With the present wells properly
equipped, there can be produced be-
tween five and six million gallons per
day, which, with proper restrictions
against waste, should suffice for the
next ten or fifteen years. It is not
necessary to go into all the details
of this plant at this time, the detailed
design of which will depend somewhat
upon further tests and study. In gen-
eral, however, the plant should be
made up as follows:
(a) One Pump and Motor, of about
2 million gals. capacity, in north ar-
tesian well. Pump set about 150 ft.
below surface.
(b) One Pump and Motor, of about
1 million gals. capacity in south ar-
tesian well. Pump set about 150 feet
below surface.
(c) Two Pumps and two Motors, of
about 3 million gals. capacity each,
located in a pit in the rear of the pump
station, with low level pipe connec-
tions. Pumps and pipes to be lo-
cated at or below city datum. (Low
water in river).
We recommend that all pumps be of
the vertical shaft centrifugal type. By
the installation of two pumps in the
drive well pit, the plant will be able,
at times to produce as high as five
million gallons therefrom, and this
procedure is desirable because the lift
from the drive wells is less than the
lift in the artesian wells.
2nd. We recommend the installa-
tion of a high duty pumping engine
in the Eagle Point station to supply
the low level city mains, and act as a
reserve to the present Holly Engine.
The capacity of this engine should not
be less than 6 million gallons per day.
3rd. We recommend that the sys-
tem of pipe in the business district
of the city be reinforced as per details
before mentioned in this report.
4th. We recommend that a series
step centrifugal pump be installed at
the Level Station, and connected to the
gasoline engine recently installed.
5th. In the event that it proves im-
practicable to raise all the money nec-
essary to make the above improve-
ments, we recommend that the High
Duty Pumping Engine be omitted and
that there be installed in its place a
Compound Centrifugal Pump, direct
connected to a Steam Engine, and that
this device ordinarily be used for
emergency only. It is possible that,
should this pump be installed, it may
be desirable to increase the capacity
of the generator engines and use the
engines interchangeably in driving the
generators, and this emergency pump.
In case this engine is installed, the
addition to the building can probably
be omitted, and all generating ma-
chinery as well as the emergency pump
installed in the present pump room.
6th. We recommend that as soon as
the above improvements have been
carried out, the use of the 8th Street
Pumping Station be discontinued.
We estimate that to carry out the
aboye recommendations, the following
expenditures will be required:

A greater or less expenditure must
soon be made in order to keep the city
supplied with water. Improvements
equal in capacity to the above are nec-
essary to keep the city properly sup-
plied and protected. We need hardly
call your attention to the fact that the
saving involved is well worth while.
In five years it will make good the en-
tire expenditure.
In closing, we wish to thank your
honorable body for the confidence ex-
pressed in placing this important mat-
ter in our hands. We wish also to
acknowledge the assistance of your
superintendent, Mr. Arthur McArthur,

MISCELLANEOUS BETTERMENTS
TO THE PIPE SYSTEM.
The following miscellaneous better-
ments are taken from the books of the
Water Department, the values given
the various items being book values.
The aggregate of these amounts being
small, and the betterments being par-
ticularly difficult to measure and esti-
mate, it was not considered worth while
to spend the necessary time in coax-
ing an estimate of them.

ing tripped by a loose plank, in said

along side of me stepped, causing the
other end to fly up and knocked me
onto the sidewalk; that said fall re-
sulted in the breaking of the bones in
my right hand.
I hereby agree to accept in full set-
tlement of any claim I may have
against the city for said injuries, the
sum of one hundred ($100) dollars.
Yours respectfully,
JOE ADAM.
The undersigned committee on

God. 2. City Council
spectfully recommend that the above
settlement be accepted and that a war-
rant in the sum of $100 be ordered
drawn in favor of the mayor with
which to effect the same.
Dubuque, June 21, 1906.
Signed
CHAS. T. THOMAS,
MATT CLANCY,
J. A. STUMPF,
J. W. KINTZINGER.
City Attorney.
On motion the report was approved
and a warrant ordered drawn in favor
of the mayor with which to effect a
settlement.
Mayor Schunk presented his veto of
the proposed improvement of Dillon
street, which is as follows:
Referring to the improvement of
Dillon street, ordered at the last ses-
sion of the council, with instructions
for me to enter into a contract with
the lowest bidder for completion of
the work.
Replying thereto: The improvement
of Dillon street is entirely unneces-
sary at the present time, and I doubt
very much whether there will ever be
any good reason for it. The proposi-
tion is entirely a speculative one to en-
able a real estate firm to dispose of a
few lots, and is not at all a matter of
public policy or necessity.
The expense to the city would be
$536 for grading, of itself a sufficient
objection to the project. With the
present depleted condition of the
treasury, we cannot afford to indulge
in a questionable expenditure of this
kind; one wholly unnecessary for the
welfare and growth of the city.
In view of the heavy expense at-
tached to the grading of the street—
an expense we can i11 afford at this
time—and because the improvement
of the street is wholly unnec/ssary as
a matter of good public policy, I here-
by veto the resolution and refuse to
enter into a contract to have the work
done. Respectfully,
H. A. SCHUNK,
Mayor.
Ald. Thomas moved that the veto
be sustained and Ald. Closs seconded
the motion, stating that he had visited
the premises and had found conditions
worse than the mayor had stated. On
the vote on Ald. Thomas' motion
Thomas and Closs voted aye, Clancy
voted no, Hines and Stumpf refused
to vote on the ground they knew noth-
ing of the merits of the case, while
Hopkins and McEvoy were absent.
The mayor announced the veto sus-
tained when Clancy insisted on the
other two aldermen voting. Hines said
Regular Session June 21, 1906
183
that if he must vote he would vote to
sustain the veto.
The veto being declared sus-
tained, whereupon Ald. Clancy raised
the question that the mayor could not
veto the resolution ordering the work
as the resolution had been adopted be-
fore the present council was sworn in
and the time had passed for vetoing it.
The records were investigated and it
was found the resolution was adopted
April 5th by the old council, all the al-
dermen having voted for it. Ald.
Clancy appealed to the city attorney
for an opinion on the veto of the
council's action of two weeks ago
when by motion the mayor was in-
structed to enter into a contract with
James Boyce for the improvement of
the street. The city attorney looked up
the law and the council records and
stated that it appeared the mayor's
veto power related to resolutions and
ordinances and not to motions and
that the only remedy the council had
was to reconsider its action of two
weeks ago. Aid. Thomas moved to re-
consider this action, but as he had
voted against it he was out of order
and none of the aldermen who had
voted for the motion would move its
reconsideration. Mayor Schunk then
stated "It is immaterial to me which
it is. If it is a resolution I have
vetoed it, if it is a contract to be
signed I absolutely refuse to sign it."
Mayor Schunk presented to the
council an ordinance prescribing the
manner of preferring and hearing
charges against any member of the
board of water works trustees and for
determining the same by the council.
Ald. Clancy said the code of Iowa pro-
vided a way for preferring charges
and thought that was sufficient. The
mayor said the council wanted the
trustees under the jurisdiction of the
council the same as other city officials.
The city attorney stated that it would
take a two-thirds vote to suspend thz
rules in order to adopt the ordinance
and as there were not enough alder-
men present he suggested the ordi-
nance be read for the first time. This
was done and the ordinance was then
referred to the committee of the
whole.
Reports of Standing Committees.

tee on streets, presented the following
bills for macadam:

was referred the petition of Emil Koch
et al, asking that Elm street from 24th

titioners be granted and that the prop-
er resolutions be adopted.
Also your committee on streets, to
whom was referred the petition of

Ald. Hines moved to adopt the var-
ious reports of the Committee on
Streets. Carried.
Aid. Clancy, chairman of the com-
mittee of the whole, reported as fol-
lows:
Your committee of the whole, to
whom was referred the petition of E.
E. Frith et al. asking that when pre-
paring specifications for the construc-
tion of the Bee Branch sewer between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets,
provision he made to commence the
work at Eighteenth street and raise
the side walls to such. height that a
bridge might be built across said
sewer at this point, would respectfully
recommend that said petition be re-
eived and filed.
Also your committee of the whole,
to whom was referred the petition of
the St. Joseph's college asking that
Cox street be changed so that the wa-
ter would flow north from West Four-
teenth street, would report that a grade
has already been established on said
street, the changing of which, to
bring about the desired result would
184 Regular Session June 21, 1906
necessitate a cut of eighteen feet at a
point 600 feet north of West Fourteenth
street. As we do not consider such a
change desirable on account of the ex-
pense, involved both .in cost of grading
and in the damages that would have to
be paid to the owners of property on
the west side of said street by reason
of changing the grade thereof, we
would respectfully recommend that
said petition be received and filed.
Also your committee of the whole,
to whom was referred the petition of
John McQuillan in relation to the spe-
cial assessment levied against lots 183
and 184, Union addition, for the im-
provement of Rush street. would re-
spectfully recommend that the city
treasurer be instructed to accept the
sum of $100.00 in full settlement of said
special assessment.
Also your committee of the whole,
to whom was referred the ordinance
providing for the inspection of plumb-
ing, etc., would respectfully recom-
mend that said ordinance be referred
to the Board of Health for revision.
The city recorder to notify the ordi-
nance committee of the plumbers' as-
sociation of the time set for the con-
sideration of the same.
Also your committee of the whole
would respectfully recommend that the
services of Guy G. White be discon-
tinued as assistant to the city engi-
neer.
Your committee of the whole, to
whom was referred the within peti-
tion of Adam Vogel, asking that the
city accept the sum of one hundred
($100.00) dollars in full payment of the
special assessments levied against sub -
lot 675 for the brick paving of Seven-
teenth and Clay streets, would re-
spectfully report:
That they referred the matter to the
city attorney, who has succeeded in
getting an offer of two hundred fifty
($250.00) dollars and the court costs
from Mr. Vogel to settle the lien for the
special assessments against said prop-
erty. The total amount of the princi-
pal still remaining due was three hun-
dred sixty-one and 5-100 ($361.05) dol-
lars. In view of the uncertainty of
collecting the whole amount we would
respectfully recommend that the sum
of two hundred fifty ($250.00) dollars
be received in full settlement and sat-
isfaction of the taxes assessed against
said lots 675 for the improvement of
Seventeenth street and Clay street
abutting thereon, Mr. Vogel to pay all
court costs.
We would further recommend that
upon the payment of said amount to
the city treasurer, that he be and is
hereby instructed to cancel said spe-
cial assessments upon his books.

tension of water mains on North Main

To the Honorable Mayor and City

the mayor to enter into a contract for
the improvement of Dillon street, and
hich was vetoed by the mayor, is in
the nature of a "Resolve," and as such
comes within the meaning of the word
"Resolution" in section 685 of the Code.
The case deciding this point is reported
n Stutsman vs. McVicker, 111 Ia., Page
40.
I am, therefore, of the opinion that it

Ald. Clancy, chairman of the Com-
mittee of the Whole, reported as fol-
lows:
Your Committee of the Whole, to
whom was referred the remonstrance
of Carl Priebe et al. against the con-
struction of the proposed sanitary
sewer in the alley between Providence
street and Lincoln avenue and in High
Bluff streeet, would respectfully report
that it is not now the intention of the
City Council to construct the sewer in
said alley and street and we would
therefore recommend that said remon-
strance be received and filed.
Your Committee of the Whole, to
whom also was referred the petition of
Chas. A. Schepple et al. for, and the
remonstrance of J. W. Neumeister et
al. against the construction of a sani-
tary sewer in Lincoln avenue, would
respectfully report that we referred the
matter to a sub -committee for in-
vestigation. The report of said sub-
committee is hereto attached and made
.a part of this report, and we would
respectfully recommend that the same
be adopted.
MATT CLANCY,
Report of Sub -Committee.
To the Honorable Committee of the
Whole.
Gentlemen:—Your sub -committee, to
whom you referred the petition of
Chas. A. Schepple et al. asking for a
sanitary sewer in Lincoln avenue from
Johnsonto Middle avenue, and also the
remonstrance of J. W. Neumeister et
al. against the construction of . said
sewer in Lincoln avenue but favoring
the same in the alley first westerly
thereof, would respectfully report that
we have given this matter our earnest
consideration and find the grade of
Lincoln avenue to be so much lower
than the grade of the alley first west-
erly thereof, that in the event of con-
structing the sewer in said alley, the
same would have to be placed twelve
to thirteen feet below the surface, while
if placed in Lincoln avenue, a depth of
six feet would be sufficient, and the
amount saved the abutting property
•owners by having the sewer in Lincoln
avenue, not only in the cost of the
main sewer but also in the making of
individual connections therewith,
would more than offset the cost of the
greater distance the remonstrators
would have to go to make said con-
nections. We would therefore recom-
mend that the said remonstrance be
received and filed and that the prayer
.of the petitioners for the sewer in Lin-
coln avenue be granted. We would
further report that we deem it essential
that provision for sewerage be made
without delay for the abutters on the
westerly side of Rhomberg avenue, and
in fact, a resolution was offered at the
session of the City Council held June i.
1906, providing for a sewer in the alley
between Rhomberg and Lincoln
avenues to provide for sewerage from
the west side of Rhomberg avenue and
the east side of Lincoln avenue, but
find that the same condition exists in
this alley as in the alley west of Lin-
coln avenue. that is, the grade of the
alley is so much higher than that of
Lincoln avenue that the sewer in the
alley would have to be laid at least
twelve feet below the surface to be
available for the Lincoln avenue prop-
erty, and therefore very expensive. Li
our judgment, the better plan, and
probably the more economical, would be
to have a sewer laid at a depth of six
feet in the alley between Rhomberg
and Lincoln avenues for the benefit of
the Rhomberg avenue property, and we
would suggest that the proper resolu-
tions be adopted for the construction
of said two sanitary sewers as above
recommended.

and of the sub committee appointed

Report of Ald. Brad Hopkins, chair-
man on water works auditing commit-
tee is as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen—A few days ago an ar-
ticle appeared in one of our city news-
papers stating that the mayor wished
to know what had become of the
auditing committee. While it calls for
a newspaper reply I did not deem it
advisable to make that reply as I con-
sider the proper place for these mat-
ters is in the City Council or the com-
mittee.
In explanation will state that the
members of this committee are Alder-
man Hopkins, Ald. Closs, Ald. McEvoy
and the mayor, as an ex -officio mem-
ber. During the month of May I had
several talks with the mayor regarding
the proper time and the proper man-
ner in which to proceed in the in-
vestigation of these reports. He was
ready after the offices were removed
to the City Hall but did not desire
work on them before that time. I pro-
posed a certain night for a meeting
of this committee to him and unfor-
tunately he had an engagement for
that evening and a few days after that
I was taken sick and have been sick
all of the time since.
These things the mayor must cer-
tainly have overlooked, for he was
conscious of them.
Trusting that you will receive this
204

report and extend further time to the
auditing committee, I am,
Respectfully yours,
BRAD HOPKINS, Chairman.
Replying to the communication May-
or Schunk stated that the delay had.
been no fault of Alderman Hopkins,
because he had been 111 and unable to
attend to his duties.
On motion, further time was grant-
ed the special water works auditing
committee in which to make their re-
port on the statement of the water
works trustees for the quarter ending
March 31. Carried.
Ald. Closs offered the following:
Be It Resolved by the City Council
of the City of Dubuque, That the
Stv eet Commissioner be and he is
hereby directed to construct a wing
at the northerly terminus of the Bee

prevent further damage to the street
at that point.

lution. Carried.

Respectfully sumbitted,
JOHN W. LAWLER,
Committee Clerk.
On motion the report of the commit-

City Attorney Kintzinger presented
the following:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: At your last meeting I
was asked for a written opinion as to
the power of the city council to adopt
an ordinance providing for the payment
of an additional tax by the saloon-
keepers of the city of Dubuque, to that
already provided for in the mulct law,
and also as to its power to prohibit
lunches in saloons.
In compliance with your request, I
would respectfully state:
"That under section 2455 of the code of
1897, cities have power to levy and collect
additional taxes and to adopt from time
to time rules and ordinances further regu-
lating the control of the liquor business
in such cities, in addition to the regula-
tions made by the mulct law. Section
455 reads as follows:
"For the purpose of protecting the prop-
erty of the municipality and its inhabi-
tants, and preserving peace and good
order therein, cities and towns and cities
acting under special charters shall have
ower to levy and collect additional taxes,
nd to adopt from time to time rules and
ordinances for further regulating and
controlling such traffic not in conflict
with the provisions of this chapter."
With reference therefore first to the
right of the city to collect additional
taxes from saloonkeepers, I would re-
spectfully state, that under the author-
ity granted cities by the above sec-
tion of the code, the city council of the
city of Dubuque has power to pass an
ordinance providing for the payment of
additional taxes to the city of Dubuque
by all saloons therein.
With reference to the question of pro-
hibiting lunches in saloons, I would say
further that under section 947 of the code,
cities under special charter have power
to adopt ordinances not inconsistent
with the laws of the state, etc.; and to
enforce obedience to such ordinances by
a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprison-
Regular Session, July 19, 1906.
207
ment not exceeding thirty days. This
section reads as follows:
"Such cities shall have power to make
and publish from time to time ordinances
not inconsistent with the laws of the
state for carrying into effect or discharge
the powers and duties conferred by this
chapter, and the charters thereof, and
such as are necessary and proper to pro-
vide for the safety, preserve the health,
promote the prosperity and improve the
morals, order, comfort and convenience
the same. If there was no regulation
of such cities and the inhabitants there-
of; and to enforce obedience to such ordi-
nance by a tine not exceeding $100 or by
imprisonment not exceeding thirty days."
Under sections 947 and 2455 of the code
cities have the right to pass any ordi-
nances regulating the liquor traffic not
in conflict with the state regulating
on this question by the state law, then
the city council of the city of Dubuque
would undoubtedly have the right to
adopt an ordinance regulating the same.
Section 2448 of the code regulates the
-condition under which the liquor business
may be conducted in the state of Iowa.
The provisions of this section are gen-
erally understood and need not be set
out entirely. Paragraph six of this sec-
tions provides as follows: "There shall
be no gambling or gaming with cards,
dice, billiards, or any other device, nor any
music, dancing or other form of amuse-
ment or entertainment, either in the
room where said business is carried on
or in any adjoining room or building con-
trolled by the person, partnership or
-corporation carrying on said business."
Under the provisions of this paragraph
lunches are prohibited in saloons. For a
breach of Its conditions or for a viola-
tion of this part of the mulct law, of-
fenders become liable to all the penalties
of the liquor law and can be prosecuted
either civilly or criminally for keeping a
nuisance, can be prosecuted for
unlawful sales or can have their
liquor confiscated. Such is the penalty
for violation of the mulct law under the
statute.
Any ordinance adopted by the city
--council can only provide for a penalty of
not exceeding a fine of $100 or imprison-
ment not exceeding thirty days, as pro-
vided by section 947 hereinabove referred
to. Such a penalty would be in conflict
and inconsistent with the penalty pro-
vided in the state law for the violation
of the provisions of the mulct law, and
under both sections 947 and . 2455 of the
code, the city would have no authority
to pass such an ordinance. As the state
law has already legislated upon this sub-
ject the city cannot by an inconsistent
ordinance legislate further upon the same
subject.
Our supreme court in the case of Iowa
City vs. Mclnnery, reported in the 87
N. W. page 498, uses these words:
"We cannot presume that the state is
not fully competent to enforce its crim-
inal laws; if so, it does not need the aid
of municipal ordinance. On the other
hand the attempt of the city to take &ur-
isdiction of criminal offences, to punish
by different penalties from those adopted
by the state, might easily have the effect
to impair the administration of criminal
justice."
In the case above referred to, the de-
fendant was accused of keeping his sa-
loon open on election day contrary to
vx.
the provisions of an ordinance of the
city of Iowa City. The ordinance was
by the supreme court held invalid be-
cause the same was inconsistent and in
conflict with the provisions of the mulct
law. In that case the court said further
relating to the ordinance passed by the
city council of Iowa City: "It simply re-
iterated the conditions of the mulct law
and made violation thereof punishable by
a fine as before stated. This fine was very
much less than that imposed by the sta-
tutes of the state and the enforcement of
the ordinance would no doubt have a
tendency to impair the administration of
criminal justice. The rules and ordinances
referred to in the statute are additional
to those imposed by statute and an at-
tempt at making a breach of the condi-
tions of the mulct law, an offence against
the municipality is in conflict with the
provisions of the chapter. We really have
no occasion to go into the vexed question
of the power of the city to punish acts
made criminal by the laws of the state.
It is enough to say that municipalities
as a general rule gain their power and
authority from the legislature and in
passing their ordinances are in effect
enacting special laws, which to a great
degree supersede the general law within
the territory limits of the corporation.
Surely then an ordinance covering a sub-
ject, or fully covered by an act of the
legislature, is in conflict therewith. Our
conclusion is that the ordinance is not
for further regulating and controlling the
liquor traffic and that it is in conflict
with the provisions of the chapter known
as the mulct law and cannot be sus-
tained."
So the adoption of an ordinance by the
city council of the city of Dubuque im-
posing a penalty of not more than $100
fine or imprisonment for thirty days for
the violation thereof, would be in conflict
with the provisions of the mulct law of
the state wherein a penalty is already
provided, different from any penalty that
could be imposed by ordinance for a vio-
lation of the same act.
In my opinion, therefore, without dis-
cussing the question further, the city
council would have no right to adopt
any ordinance on the lunch question in
the city of Dubuque.
The mayor, as the executive officer of
the city, has as much authority to control
this matter under the state law, by en-
forcing that provision of the mulct law
relating thereto, as it would be possible
for him to have under any city ordi-
nance even if the city had power to
adopt one. The mayor now has authority
to eliminate lunches in saloons by en-
forcing that part of the mulct law pro-
viding against it.
Respectfully submitted this 19th day of
July, 1906. J. W. KINTZINGER,
City Attorney.
On motion the report of the city at-
torney was received and tiled.
City Attorney Kintzinger also pre-
sented the following:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen:—The undersigned, Com-
mittee on Claims and City Attorney,
respectfully report:
That there are now pending in the
Federal Court of the United States and
208 Regular Session, July 19, 1906.
Dubuque, Iowa, three cases entitled
"The Chicago Great Western Railway
Co., plaintiff, vs. City of Dubuque and
Herman W. Brinkmann, Treasurer of
said city, defendants, The Illinois
Central Railroad Co., plaintiff, vs City
of Dubuque and Herman W. Brink -
mann, Treasurer thereof, and The Chi-
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
Company, Plaintiff, vs. The City of
Dubuque and Herman W. Brinkmann,
Treasurer thereof, defendants, being
injunction proceedings to restrain the
city from the collection of the balance
of the unpaid taxes levied against said
railroad companies for the years 1902,
1903, 1904 and 1905. Heretofore said
companies claimed that they were li-
able for one-fourth of the amount of
taxes assessed against said companies
under the state law. The city claimed
the right, however, to assess said com-
panies on full valuation and each year
entered into a stipulation by the terms
of which one-fourth of the taxes were
paid as they became due, and the bal-
ance was to remain standing until the
question was decided by the Supreme
Court of our state. The same question
was litigated in court by the cities of
Cedar Rapids and Davenport and in
Cedar Rapids it was held that the city
could not make an assessment on more
than one-fourth valuation, and in Dav-
enport it was held that they could.
Both cases were appealed from to the
Supreme Court, which consists of six
judges, and this court was equally di-
vided on the question as to whether
this could be done or not. As the ques-
tion has therefore not been determined
by our Supreme Court these cases were
begun by the railroad companies in the
Federal Court.
The undersigned, Committee on
Claims and the attorneys representing
said companies, have come to an
agreement whereby said railroad com-
panies will pay to the city of Dubuque
an additional one-fourth of the taxes
levied for those years, making in all
the, payment of one-half of the amount
of tax levied by the city against said
companies.
The amount is to be paid under the
terms of this compromise from the va-
rious companies is as follows:
C. M. & St. P. Ry. Co. $1349.58
Dub. & S. C. R. R. Co. 1295.49
C. G. W. Ry. Co. 800.90
The undersigned committee would
therefore recommend that the forego-
ing amounts be received from said
railroad companies in full settlement
and compromise of the balance of their
unpaid assessments for those years,
and that the city treasurer be instruct-
ed and authorized to cancel the as-
sessments against said companies upon
the payment of those amounts to him.
The undersigned would also state
that the C. B. & Q. Ry. Co. paid in a
similar proportion of the assessment
against their line in the city as they
became due for the years 1902, 1903,
1904 and 1905. The balance of their
unpaid assessment has not yet been
adjusted nor has any action been ta-
ken for a settlement of the same. We
would, however, recommend that upon
the payment of another one-fourth of
the entire assessment against said
company, amounting to $489.44, that
the city treasurer be instructed to can-
cel the balance of their unpaid assess-
ment.

Be it ordained by the City Council of
Dubuque, Iowa:
Section 1. That all sidewalks now
or hereafter constructed or recon-
structed in said city upon any streets
or parts of streets in conformity with
the established grade of such streets or
parts of streets are hereby declared
to be permanent sidewalks, and shall
be governed by the rules and regula-
tions relating to such sidewalks. All
sidewalks now or hereafter construct-
ed or reconstructed upon streets
or parts of streets not in
conformity with the established
grade, or upon streets where no grade
has been established, are hereby de-
clared temporary sidewalks and shall
be subject to the rules and regulations
relating to such sidewalks. All per-
manent sidewalks now or hereafter
built or rebuilt shall be constructed
of brick, stone or cement, and shall
be of the width specified in the resolu-
tion ordering the same, but not less
than four feet wide in the resident
parts of said city and shall extend
from lot lines to the curb in the busi-
ness parts of the city, and shall be of
uniform width in each block.
Sec. 2. The City Council may, at
any time, by resolution condemn any
sidewalk now or hereafter in use in
the city which is constructed of mater-
ials or in a manner different from
what is herein specified, and may or-
der and compel the walk to be built
in conformity herewith.
Sec. 3. That whenever a petition
purporting to be signed by the owners
of a majority of the lineal feet of the
property abutting upon or lying along
any street or avenue, or any part
thereof, shall be presented to the City
Council, asking for the construction or
reconstruction of permanent sidewalks
thereon, the petition shall be referred
to the City Engineer to examine and
report whether the same is signed by
the owners of the majority of the lin-
eal front feet of the property abutting
or lying along said contemplated im-
provement. If he shall report that a
majority of such have signed said pe-
tition, the Council may proceed by
vote of a majority of the Council to
order such improvement to be made.
And the City Council may. whenever
deemed expedient, to improve any
street or avenue in said city by laying
down or relaying permanent sidewalks
thereon, order any such improvement
made, without a petition therefor hav-
ing been presented: Provided, the
same shall be so ordered by the af-
firmative vote of not less than three-
fourths of the whole number of the
members of said Council.
Sec. 4. If the City Council by a
majority vote or by a three-fourths
vote of all the members of the Council,
as provided and required by the pre-
ceding section are in favor of making
such improvement, it shall direct the
City Engineer to prepare a plat show-
ing generally the location and nature
of the improvement and the extent
thereof, and the kind of material to be
used, and an estimate of the entire
cost thereof, and the amount and cost
of such improvement, and the amount
assessable upon any railway or street
railway company, the amount and cost
thereof to be paid by the city, if any,
and the cost thereof and amount as-
sessable upon each lot or parcel of
land adjacent to or abutting upon such
improvement per front foot, and file
such plat and estimate in the office
of the City Recorder. The City Re-
corder shall thereupon publish in three
consecutive issues of a newspaper pub-
lished in the city, a notice stating that
such plat is on file, the location and
nature of the improvement, kind of
material to be used, and an estimate of
its cost and the time before which
objections thereto can be filed and the
time fixed for hearing, which time
shall not be less than five days after
the last publication of such notice. On
and after the day fixed in said notice
the Council shall consider the matter
of making such improvement and con-
sider the objections and suggestions
of the parties interested and deter-
mine what changes, if any, shall be
made in the plans and estimates shown
and made by such plats of the City
Engineer, and if assented to by three-
fourths vote of all members of the
Council, unless a petition signed by
the owners of a majority of the lineal
front foot as herein specified was filed,
and then by a majority vote of all the
members of the Council, it shall be
lawful and such Council may order
any street to be improved by the con-
struction of permanent sidewalks

thereof assessed against said prop-
erty and the owner or owners thereof,
and collected in the manner prescribed

City Recorder.

the owner or his agent, if found, at
least ten days before the time stated
in their resolution for beginning the
work of laying the sidewalk; and the
return thereof shall forthwith be made
to the office of the City Recorder and
,)reserved among the records. In case
the owner, or his agent, of such prop-
erty is not found, then the return of
such notice shall show such fact,
whereupon the City Recorder shall
cause the said notice to be published
in two consecutive weekly issues of
some news!;aher of general circulation
published in the city; the last publica-
tion thereof being at least ten days
before the time stated in the resolu-
tion for the beginning of said improve-
ment; and a record of such publication
duly verified shall be preserved in the
office of the City Recorder.
Sec. 7. Immediately after such im-
provement shall be ordered the City
Engineer shall furnish the necessary
grades and lines of such improvement,
and, no work on such improvement
shall be commenced until a grade on
the sidewalks so to be improved, shall
be adopted, and be established by the
City Council, by ordinance. If a grade
has heretofore been established by the
City Council, by resolution, or in any
way than by an ordinance, then be-
fore such work shall be commenced
said grade shall be confirmed and es-
tablished by ordinance. No such im-
provement shall be made, until after
the bed therefor shall have been grad-
ed so that such improvement when ful-
ly completed, will bring the sidewalk
up to the established grade as above
set forth. The City Engineer shall
see that the work conforms to the es-
tablished grade, and is in accordance
with the ordinance or resolution of the
Council and shall make all estimates,
plats and schedules.
Sec. 8. In case of the failure, neg-
lect or refusal of the owner or owners
of the property fronting or abutting on
such proposed sidewalk to make such
improvement within the time fixed in
the resolution and notice set out in
Sections 5 and 6 of this ordinance, the
same shall be done by contract in the
manner set out in the following sec-
tion, and the cost thereof shall be as-
sessed upon the real estate abutting
thereon in the manner hereinafter pro-
vided.
Sec. 9. All contracts for the con-
struction or re -construction of perma-
nent sidewalks shall be let in the

sible bidder by sealed proposals, upon
giving notice by the City Recorder for

in a newspaper published in said city,
which notice shall state as nearly as
practicable, the extent of the work and
the kind of material for which bids

244 Regular Session August 2, 1906.
the time when the proposals will be
acted upon. But all bids may be re-
jected and new bids ordered. All bids
must be accompanied by a certified
check, payable to the order of the City
Treasurer, in a sum to be named in
the notice for bids, as security that the
bidder will enter into a contract for
the doing of the work, and will give
the required bond. Each contractor
shall execute to the city a bond with
resident or authorized fidelity com-
pany sureties, to be approved by the
City Council, conditioned, for the faith-
ful performance of the contract in ac-
cordance with the plans and specifica-
tions, and as evidence of the charac-
ter of the work and material, to keep
such improvement in good repair for
one year after its construction and to
replace all defective material and re-
construct all defective work, and that
in case of a breach in any of the con-
ditions of such bond suit may he
brought therefor in Dubuque county.
The city and the person or persons to
whom such contract is awarded, shall
thereupon enter into a contract for the
making or re -construction of such im-
provement, and no work shall be done
under such award until such contract
or a certified copy thereof shall have
been filed in the office of the Recorder.
Sec. 10. That as soon as practicable
after the expiration of the time speci-
fied in the contract within which the
improvement is to be completed, the
Council shall make or cause to be
made, an examination of the work,
and if the same be not completed or
not done in the manner provided in
the contract, the Council may direct
the Sidewalk Commissioner co com-
plete the same in the manner provided
in the contract, and the expense of
completing the same shall be deducted
from whatever money may be coming
to the contractor under his contract.
When the work is completed in accord-
ance with the contract, it shall be ac-
cepted.
Sec. 11. When such work shall
have been completed and accepted, the
Council and City Engineer shall ascer-
tain the cost thereof, including the
cost of the estimates, notices, inspec-
tion and preparing the assessment and
plat, which cost (except that portion
assessed against and ordered to be
paid by any railway or street railway
as hereinafter provided) shall be as-
sessed as a special tax against the
property abutting such improvement
in proportion to the special benefits
conferred upon the property thereby,
and not in excess of such benefits.
Such assessment shall not exceed
twenty-five per centum of the actual
value of the lot or tract at the time
of levy, and the last preceding assess-
ment roll shall be taken as prima
facie evidence of such value.
Sec. 12. In assessing such cost of
any sidewalk improvement against the
lots or parcels of ground abutting
thereon, the Council shall cause to be
prepared by the City Engineer a plat
of the streets or part thereof on which
the said improvement shall have been
made or re -constructed, showing the
separate lots or parcels of ground, or
specified portions thereof, subject to
assessment for such improvement, the
names of the owners thereof as far as
practicable, and the amount to be as-
sessed against each lot or parcel of
ground, and against any railway or
street railway, and the City Engineer
shall file said plat and schedule in the
office of the City Recorder, which shall
be subject to public inspection, and
after the filing of the plat and schedule
referred to the Recorder shall give ten
days' notice, by publishing same three
times in two newspapers published in
said city, one of which shall be the
official newspaper, that such plat and
schedule are on file in the office of the
Recorder, and, that within twenty
days after the first publication all
objections thereto, or to prior pro-
ceedings, on account of errors, irregu-
larities or inequalities, must be made
in writing and filed with the City Re-
corder.
Sec. 13. The Council after having
heard such objections, and having
made the necessary corrections, shall
by resolution levy the special assess-
ment shown in such plat and schedule,
as determined, corrected and approved
by the City Council, against the prop-
erty abutting upon such improvement,
or against such railway or street rail-
way.
Such assessment shall be duly en-
tered on the tax books of the city, and
shall be then due and payable at the
office of the Treasurer, and be col-
lected like other ordinary city taxes
as provided by ordinance.
Sec. 14. All objections to the cost of
construction or reconstruction of
permanent sidewalks and to the
assessment therefor, as here-
in provided, against the lots or parcels
of land in front of which same are
constructed, and all objections to the
prior proceedings on account of errors,
irregularities or inequalities, must be
made in writing and filed with the
City Recorder prior to the date fixed
for said assessment, and all objections
not so made shall be deemed waived
except where fraud is shown.
Sec. 15. If the owner of any lot or
parcel of land against which an
sessment for permanent sidewalks as
is
made shall, at the time of making said
special assessment, or within thirty
days thereafter, promise and agree in
writing endorsed on a certificate, or in
aa separate agreement, that in consider-

ation of having the right to pay his
assessments in installments, he will
not make any objection of illegality or
irregularity as to the assessment or
levy of such tax upon and against his
property, and will pay said assessment,
with interest thereon at such rate,
not exceeding six per cent per annum,
as shall by ordinance or resolution of
the Council be prescribed, such tax,
so levied against the lot or parcel of
land of such owner, shall be payable
in seven equal installments, the first
of which shall be due and payable on
the date of said assessment and the
others, with interest on the whole
amount unpaid, annually thereafter, at
the same time and in the same manner
as the ordinary city taxes; but where
no such promise or agreement in writ-
ing shall be made by the owner of any
lot or parcel of land, then the whole
of said assessment so levied upon and
against the property of such owner,
both assessment and interest shall be-
come due and payable thirty days
after the levy of said assessment with
interest from the date of such levy,
and shall become delinquent on the
first day of March next after their ma-
turity and shall bear the same rate of
interest with the same penalties as
ordinary taxes, and shall be collected
as other city taxes.
Sec. 16. A certificate of levy of such
special assessment, fixing the number
of installments and the time when
payable, certified as correct by the
City Recorder shall be filed with the
City Treasurer. Each installment of
any special assessment shall bear in-
terest from the date of the assessment
at six per cent per annum.
Sec. 17. Such assessment, or each
installment thereof, with interest
thereon, shall be paid at the office of
the City Treasurer. The owner of any
property against which a sidewalk as-
sessment has been levied shall have
the right to pay the same, or the un-
paid installments thereof, with all in-
terest as the case may be, up to the
time of said payment, with any penal-
ties and costs of any proceedings for
the sale of the property for such spec-
ial assessment or installments, at or
before the time said property is sold
for taxes. All special assessments
shall be a lien upon the property
against which the same are assessed,
from the date of the resolution of the
Council ordering the construction or
re -construction of the sidewalk im-
provement, or work for which the as-
sessments or levy are made, and shall
be prior and superior to all other liens
except ordinary taxes, and shall not
be divested by any judicial sale of
the property. The lien of different
special assessments shall take priority
in the order of their levy. No part
of the line of any railway or street rail-
way shall be released from the lien
for any part of any unpaid assessment
which has been made against it for
sidewalk improvement, until the whole
assessment shall have been paid. If
any owner of property subject to such
special assessment shall so divide the
same so that the feet fronting on such
improvement are contained in two or
more lots or parcels, he may discharge
the lien upon any one or more of them,
by payment of the amount unpaid,
calculated by the ratio of square feet
in the area of such lot or lots or parcel
or parcels to the area of the whole lot.
Sec. 18. The City Recorder shall
immediately after the passage of the
resolution of the City Council levying
said assessments, make out and de-
liver to the City Auditor a duly certi-
fied copy of such resolution, and take
his receipt therefor. The City Auditor
upon receiving the certified copy of
such resolution, shall forthwith enter
upon the "Special Bonded Assessment
Book" kept by the Treasurer, the spec-
ial tax so levied by the Council, and
shall charge the Treasurer therewith.
Sec. 19. It shall be the duty of the
Treasurer forthwith to give notice by
one publication in the official paper
of the city that such assessment has
been levied, and that in case of the
failure of the persons or owners,
against whom such assessment is
made, to agree in writing within thirty
days from the time such assessment
is bevied that they will not make any
objections of illegality or irregularity
or to the assessment or levy of such
tax upon and against their property,
and will pay said assessment with in-
terest at the rate of six per cent per
annum in seven equal installments,
the first of which shall become due
and payable with interest on the whole
amount, thirty days after the levy of
said assessment, and the other install-
ments of which shall become due and
payable with interest on the whole
amount unpaid, one at a time annually
after the date of which the first in-
stallment becomes due and payable,
then the whole of such assessment
shall mature at one time and be pay-
able thirty days after said levy of said
assessment with interest from the
date of such levy, at six per cent per
annum, and that a failure at any time
to pay said assessment or the install-
ments thereof within thirty days after
the same shall become due and pay-
able as prescribed by ordinance, will
cause the same to become delinquent
and subject to collection, the sale of
the property against which the assess-
ment is made as provided for in non-
payment of ordinary taxes.
Sec. 20. Property against which a
special assessment has been levied for
permanent sidewalks may be sold for
any sum of principal or interest due
246
and delinquent at any regular or ad-
journed tax sale in the same manner,
with the same forfeitures, penalties
and rights of redemption, and certifi-
cates or deeds on such sales shall be
made in the same manner and with
like effect as in the case of sales for
the non-payment of ordinary taxes.
Sec. 21. For the purpose of provid-
ing for the payment of the assessed
cost of any permanent sidewalk im-
provement which has been or is to be
assessed upon the property abutting
thereon or adjacent thereto, including
railways or street railways liable for
the payment thereof, the Council is
authorized from time to time as the
work progresses or is completed, to
make requisition on the mayor for the
issuance of Sidewalk Certificates, as
herein provided, in such denomina-
tions as shall be deemed best, in an-
ticipation of the deferred payment of
the taxes, levied or to be levied for

duty of the Mayor to make and exe-
cute certificates accordingly, to an
amount not exceeding the cost and
expense of such improvement to be

ble for the payment of the same; the
certificates shall bear the name of the

larly described in the resolution

Reported as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: Your Board of Health
would respectfully report that at a
meeting held July 30, 1906, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved by the Board of Health of
the City of Dubuque, that we do here-
by recommend to the City Council of
the City of Dubuque that they com-
mence proceedings under Section 31
of Chapter 34 of the Revised Ordin-
ances of 1901, providing for the man-
ner of making the connections with

We further report the following mo-
tion was unanimously carried, that
relative to the complaint that sewage
is running over the Bonson farm from
the insane asylum, the following rec-
250 Regular Session, August 2, 1906.
ommendation to the City Council be
made:
To the Honorable City Council, City
of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—The Board of Health,
who have had under consideration the
complaint of Mr. Robert Bonson that
sewage from St. Joseph's Asylum for
the Insane is running over his farm,
causing him discomfort, and endanger-
ing the health of his family residing
in the neighborhood, also that same is
polluting the water supply drawn from
the level by the City, and asking that
the water level be abandoned as a
source of city water supply, respectful-
ly report and recommend as follows:
That there being no evidence of
pollution of the level water by the
sewage referred to, and the fact that
no ill effects having ever followed its
use, and that repeated tests have es-
tablished the purity of the water be-
yond a doubt, therefore the matter of
abandonment of said level is out of
the question, and your Board will not
for a moment seriously entertain such
a proposition from any source.
To safeguard our people in this mat-
ter an analysis of the water has been
ordered, and will be obtained by
Health Physician Palen, as soon as
possible.
The Board of Health is satisfied
that Mr. Bonson has a well founded
grievance, because the sewage from
the Asylum is allowed to run over the
Bonson farm, creating a decidedly un-
sanitary condition, but that is a mat-
ter for adjustment between himself
and the management of the Asylum.
Both the Asylum and Mr. Bonson's
residence are outside of the city lim-
its, hence not within the jurisdiction
of this Board. They should be able
to settle this matter among them-
selves.
We would suggest that a proper and
rational way to settle the difficulty
would be for the Sisters at the Asylum
to have placed in their institution a
septic tank for the destruction of
sewage and impurities of all kinds.
This would do away with the present
unsanitary condition of the Bonson
farm, and amicably adjust the matter.
Of course the fact that the city
water supply is not affected, and also
the fact that the Asylum is not located
within the city limits, prevents the
Board from ordering the placing of a
septic tank at the Asylum.
Therefore the suggestion is only in
the nature of a recommendation to
obviate the condition there existing.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF HEALTH.
By Dr. Chas. Palen, Health Physician;
H. A. Schunk, chairman; N. J. Close,
Chas. T. Thomas, E. P. Peryon and
Joseph Scanlon.
Ald. Closs moved the adoption of
the report.
Ald. Hopkins then stated that he
wanted to go on record as being op-
posed to that part of the report con-
cerning the water level, because he
considered it advisable that some ac-
tion be taken to remedy the condi-
tions complained of. Whereupon Ald.
Clancy moved that the report of the
Board of Health be separated and that
that part ordering sewer connections
be approved, and that the report of
the Board of Health on the sewage
from the Insane Asylum be referred
back to the Board of Health.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Ald. Clancy, Hines, Hopkins,
McEvoy and Stumpf.
Nays—Closs and Thomas.

To the Hon. Secretary of War,
Washington, D. C.
From a meeting of prominent river
men hold at Keokuk on the 13th of
August instant the City Council of Du-
buque has learned that a dam and lock
is about to be constructed at Keokuk,
Iowa, on the Mississippi river by the
Keokuk and Hamilton Water Develop-
ment Cn. under a charter from the
United States.
That the contemplated lock to be
constructed coincident with the build-
ing of said dam is to have no greater
dimensions than the longest of the
present three locks at Keokuk, viz: 350
feet by 80 feet, which even now is too
small to pass the steel boat being I
built at Dubuque. This boat is 89 feet
wide over all. Two steel boats pre-
viously built at this port were com-
pelled to leave one guard off in order
`o get through the locks at Keokuk.
This Council humbly asks the Secre-
tary of War to permit no lock less than
600 feet long and at least 200 feet wide
to be constructed at the Des Moines
Rapids or elsewhere on the Mississippi
river.
It may be unnecessary to remind the
Secretary of War that rafts even
longer than 600 feet including pusher
and bow boat may be frequently seen
on the river and steamboats with
barges on each side as well as in front
and astern have not been and will not
be uncommon when a portion of Pan-
ama Canal's commerce will move on
the great river.

thereon, the petition shall be referred
to the City Engineer to examine and
report whether the same is signed by
the owners of the majority of the lin-
eal front feet of the property abutting
or lying along said contemplated im-
provement. If he shall report that a
majority of such have signed said pe-
tition, the Council may proceed by
