To the Honorable Mayor and the City

Gentlemen: Responding to your in-
vitation for bids for lighting the

,of Dubuque with lamps, gas or elec-
tric, or both, we propose to furnish

pose and to install, erect, supply with

are subject to removal upon termina-
tion of contract for their use.

THE KEY CITY GAS COMPANY.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS,
The annual report of the, trustees of
Carnegie -Mout Free Library was pre-
sented and read, as follows:
REPORT (,F TRC. -TEES.
Dubuque. Dee. 31. 19..8.
To the Mayor and council of the City
of Dubuque:
(;entlemen: The board of trustees
of the Carnegie -Stout free public li-
brary. in pursuance of tbe• require-
ment of the statutes, herewith submit
to you their annual rep11rt for the
year 1908.
The progress of the library in every
essential continues very gratifying, as
shown in detail 10 the full and able
report of the librarian, which is also
herewith submitted to you, and to
which your attention is respectfully
invited.
There has been during the year an
increase of new membership amount-
ing to 1,150, making a total of
11,760.
The circulation of books amounted
to 112,381, or an increase over the
entire circulation of last year of
5,652.
Much of this increase has been due
to sub -stations established in six pub -
lie enol one parochial schools. The
I....Tiers do all possible to interest
their scholars in these libraries, and
1 !'emote the reading of the good
books which they carefully select.
Other schools are making application
to be made deposit stations, and the
growth in this direction bids fair to
continue, to the great advantage of
the school children. All engine
houses are also provided regularly
with hooks and reading matter.
The number of volumes added to
the library was 1,611, and the total
Regular Session January 21, 1909 15
number of books is 24,362, not in-
cluding about 11,500 volumes of gov-
ernment publications.
The inventory shows 148 volumes
missing. many of which will doubt-
less be returned.
Notable among the gifts of the year
to the library was a cash gift of $100,
from a lady of the city, who declines
to have her name mentioned, which,
according to her wish, was spent In
magazines and periodicals not previ-
ously included on the library's
shelves. This has made this branch
of our reading matter very full and
satisfactory.
The library was also, by the will of
the late Senator Allison, made a
beneficiary to the extent of $1,000.
This has not yet been received, and
hence is not mentioned in the finan-
cial statement.
Mr. Allison bequeathed his large
and valuable private library to Mrs.
Jennie :\. Brayton, who has. however.
most generously transferred it in en-
tirety to the Carnegie -Stout library,
viii- the single provision that it be
.lv r 1,11ca as a collection and held
as an "Allison Memorial." The
hooks will, of course, be opened to
reading and circulation the same as
other colurnes in the library.
At the elate of this report the books
had not yet been transferred to the
library, and so are not counted in the
enumeration of this report. It is es-
timated that the volumes will number
about 2,:-.0(1, largely of general litera-
ture. so that the board of trustees is
deeply grateful to Mrs. Brayton, not
only for the value of her gift, but for
the opportunity to retain a memorial
to Senator Allison in an institution
which he dill so much to found and
upbuild.
The following will show the finan-
cial statement of the current year:

To the Honorable Mayor and City

Gentlemen:—Complying with your
request I attended the good roads
convention held at the Great North-
ern hotel in Chicago Jan. 27th, 28th
and 29th and heard the discussions of
many prominent road builders, as to
the different methods and materials
used in the construction of streets.
My attention was centered chiefly on
the part that applied to macadam
streets. In company with several
others I examined macadam streets
treated with taroid and tarvia in
South Park, Jackson Park and Grand
Boulevard and found them handsome,
dustless, water -proof and apparently
durable streets. The above streets are
not used for heavy traffic, but are very
prominent for automobiles, carriages
and light . travel. Some of those
streets were resurfaced two years ago
and show no perceptible signs of wear.
Before making any final recommenda-
tion I would suggest a committee of
your honorable body make a personal
investigation.

Dubuque, Ia., February 11, 1909.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: After carefully consid-
ering, in all its phases, what propos-
ition we could make to you in regard
to a strip of ground for widening the
street at First and Iowa Streets, we
make the following proposition.
We will deed to the city a strip
commencing 29 feet and 9 inches
north of the S. E. corner of our lot
when, the present building stands,
known as the Berliner Hof, thence
running diagonally to the corner
where the lot now squares and turns
west on First Street, upon the follow-
ing condition:
First — Two Thousand dollars
($2,000.00) in cash.
Second—That the remaining por-
tion of lots Nos. 529 and 530 and the
improvements added thereto be as-
sessed at no more than heretofore for
a period of twenty-five years.
Third—That the street be paved
and placed in as good condition as
First Street and Iowa Street are at
present and that curbing and cement
walks be laid on the portion so deed-
ed at the expense of the City: after
which we will assume the usual rela-
tions of abutters.
Fourth—That permission be grant-
ed under the usual conditions to the
'C., M. & St. P. R. R. Co., or the I, C.
R. R. Co., as we may elect to lay a
track across First Street onto the
south part of lots Nos. 529 and 530,
remaining the required distance from
the track now located in the alley.
The street as described will take
from us 29 feet 9 inches of frontage
on Iowa Street and will give you a
space about 23 feet wide from nut -
side rail to curb at the narrowest
pont and allow 6 feet for sidewalk
And curbing.
It will require the removal of the
hotel property which we propose
shall be clone at our expense.
As we want to proceed with our
plans it Is important that this should
be ;accepted or rejected not later than
the 20th inst.
Very truly yours,
McFadden Coffee & Spice Co.
By J. M. McFadden, President.

Whereas, The Payne 'Tariff Bill,
nosy pending before the ['cited States
Congress, provides for an increase in
the tariff on Crude Asphalt from $1.511
per ton to $3.36 per ton, and means,

the cost of asphalt paving, but a rela-
tive increase in the cost of other
kinds of paving; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved, That we, the City
Council of the City of Dubuque, here-
by protest against any increase in
the duty on Crude Asphalt and As-
phalt Products, and urge upon our
senators and representatives our ob-
jections, and, that the property own-

JOHN O'ROURKE,
Chairman.
Ald. O'Rourke moved the adoption
of the report of the Committee of the
Whole recommending the payment of
the Martin & Strelau coal hills. Mo-
tion seconded by Ald. Frith.
During the discussion which fol-
lowed Ald. O'Rourke stated that there
was some misunderstanding about the
appeal of the case to the Supreme
('hurt. that he was of the opinion the
suit should have been brought against
the Water Works Department in the
first place. that there was a doubt,
in his mind, whether or not the
action was correct, and stated that he
wanted a written opinion from the
City Attorney before taking final
action on the bills.
Ald. Martin asked if the City paid
the coal bills, whether or not a suit
could be instituted against the old
\Vater Works Trustees and their
bondsmen, he having been informed
that such an action could be had;
also, that no action could be taken
against them; that he was as anxious
and v:illing to pay the coal hills as
anyone, but would not vote to pay
same, unless a suit could be brought
against the old Trustees and their
bondsmen.
Ald. Frith stated he believed in
paying an honest bill, which he be-
lieved these coal bills were, until he
was shown otherwise; that if there is
so much evidence as there is rumored
to be, let it be brought before the
Committee of the Whole; that. as the
matter now stands, he was willing to
pay the coal bills.
.\Id. Ittntrl stated that he vnted to
pay the hills in the Committee of the
Whole with the undorstanlling that
the bilis were correct: that he had
made it personal investigation in
some mailers. which would lead him
to believe the bills were about right:
he found that at the time the old
Trusters were in charge of the Water
Works it required four bailers to do
the work, while at the present time
two boilers were doing the work:
that the plant under the management
of the present Trustees used only half
the amount et' coal in run the plant
that was used by the former Trus-
tees, due to the fact of more improv-
ed methods and machinery, and that
at the present time it costs about
$16,000.00 per year for coal with but
two boilers; consequently, he was of
the ottinien that with double the
number of boilers being used the
amount of coal consumed would be
about twice the amount: that with
such conditions he believed the coal
was used. and that some one had
furnished the coal.
Ald. lingrin said that he had no
cause for changing his vote from the
way he voted in the Committee of the
Whole, stating he was not a party to
creating the debt; consequently. he
would not vote to pay Um som.
Mayor S'hunk then spoke. stating
that he questioned the right of the
City to pay the hills under the ex-
isting conditions; that in his mind the
suit should have been instituted
against the Water Works Depart-
ment and if a judgment had been oh-
tained against. them, and if they
lacked the funds to pay same, then
they could have certified same to the
Council, -who could then have made
a levy to pay the judgment; that he
want..1 a written opinion from the
City .Attorney whether or not the suit
was brought properly and if so,
whether or not the City could make
a levy or bond issue without consent
of the water works Trustees.
Ald. O'lleurke asked that the
Mayor endeavor to procure a state-
ment of the kind and amount of pipe.
plugs, valves, meters, etc., there was
on hand 111 the Water Works Depart-
ment at the time the transfer was
ntado from the old to the new trus-
lies: ;I1se the exact amount of old
accounts due and afterwards collected
by the new 'Trustees and if same were
turned into the City Treasurer's of-
fice or the \\'cher office, and to sub-
mit sante to the Committee of the
Whole, which the Mayor ;(greed to
furnish, if possible.
Ald. O'Rourke also inquired wheth-
er the Water Works Department
showed that it was self-sustaining or
not during the time the Mayor man-
aged the stne, to which the Mayor
replied that it was ',HP -sustaining and
112 Adjourned Regular Session, April 26th, 1909.
that there was a surplus of about
$100.00 cash on hand at the time. he
turned the management of the Water
Works Department over to the new
Trustees.
Ald. O'Rourke, with the consent of
Ald. Frith, who seconded his motion,
then withdrew his motion to adopt
the report of the Committee of the
\\'hole, after which Ald. Rand moved
that action on the report of the Com-
mittee of the Whole be deferred and
report be referred back to the Com-
mittee of the Whole and the City .\t-
torney be instructed to submit ;t writ-
ten opinion to the Council as to the
various questions asked by the mem-
bers of the City Council as soon as
porsibre, Parried.
City Attorney Lyon asked that
whatever questions the various mem-
bers of the Council wished answered
In submit same to him in writing as
