read. as follows:
Dubuque, Ia., Aug. 13, '09.
To the Elonorable Council, City of
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen—I have, since your re-
cent meeting, had under careful con-
sideration the petition of the Illinois
Central Railroad Company, asking
for the use of a portion of Dodge
Street at the north end of the new
fruit sheds for office purposes.
Your honorable body, at its last
regular session, voted to grant the
prayer of the petitioner to the extent
of granting a space of sixteen feet
wide, thence tapering down to a point
on the line of said sheds not on Dodge
Street.
One of the paragraphs in said pe-
tition reads as follows: "The under-
signed would respectfully ask permis-
sion for the use of that portion of
Dodge Street designated herein for the
erection and maintenance of said of-
fice during the time that said fruit
sheds are used and occupied and in
connection with the fruit company's
sheds."
In other words you are asked to
grant the use of a portion of Dodge
Street practically indefinitely. You
are asked to surrender the City's
rights to a portion of the street while
the fruit sheds are used and occupied,
which, because of Dubuque's availa-
bility as a shipping and distributing
center, means for all time to come.
This is radically wrong, and I sincere-
ly hope that you will agree with me
and stop this second attempt by the
Illinois Central Railroad Company to
get a foothold on this street.
When the first attempt was made
to secure nearly a thousand feet of
Dodge Street for their own permanent
use, we were told that unless we ac-
ceded to their demands that the Fruit
sheds would be located in Freeport.
You gentlemen of the Council laugh-
ed at the transparent bluff, and re-
fused to be coerced by it. It was
known then to the Council that Du-
buque was the natural and logical dis-
tributing center for fruits received
from the south by the I. C. R. R.
Company, and this knowledge made
certain the location of the sheds here,
You then voted to preserve Dodge
street intact for the use of future
generations, and why reverse that de-
cision now? Of course you are now
asked to give them comparatively a
small portion of the strr et to what
was asked for then, but if you insist
on granting their petition, you are
detracting from the future uniform-
ity and utility of the street.
I claim that Dodge street should he
preserved and kept intact for the use
of some future generation.
In view of these facts I return to
you the petition of the I. C. R. R.
Company asking for space of eighteen
feet on Dodge street for office pur-
poses, and hereby veto the motion
passed by your honorable body on
August 6. 1909, granting said com-
pany a space of sixteen feet at the
widest point nn said street, thence
tapering to a point no feet wide on
thc lot line of the property of said
company abutting nn the northerly
end of their fruit sheds.
Very respectfully,
H. A. SCHENK, Mayor.
Ald. Rand moved that the prayer
of the petitioners be granted over the
veto of the Mayor, subject to amend-
ed measurements of the City Engineer
and certain restrictions to he em-
bodied in an Ordinance covering the
vacation.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas --Aids. Frith, Haas, Martin,
Rand, Saul and Singrin.
Nays—None.
Ald. Frith moved that the Council
reconsider their former motion in
granting the Illinois Central 16 feet
of Dodge Street for office purposes.
Carried.
Ald. Saul moved that the Illinois
Central Railroad company be granted
the use of a portion of Dodge Street
not exceeding 14 feet from the south
line of Dodge Street for a period of 20
years, and the Ordinance Committee
to prepare an Ordinance granting said
permission. Carried.

272 Regular Session, August 29th, 1909

Also finished riprapping on Couler
Creek for $164.80. The above items
are about the cost I estimated to

tection you have given their proper-
ty.
Respectfully,
JOHN DORGAN,
Street Commissioner.
On motion of Ald. Frith the report
of the Street Commissioner was ap-
proved and filed.
City Attorney Lyon reported as
follows:
To the Mayor and City Council of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen:—The undersigned, to
whom was referred the communica-
tion of Hugh R. Markey, in reference
to the payment of the amount he
claims due him as salary as police
captain, would respectfully report
that there are two actions pending in
the District Court of Dubuque County,
one being a mandamus proceeding to
compel the Chief of Police to rein-
state Markey to his position as a
Captain of Police, in which action
said court found in favor of Markey
and ordered his reinstatement, and
the other being an action against the
City of Dubuque to recover the
amount claimed due as salary as said
Captain of Police, in which action the
court rendered judgment against the
City for the amount claimed due, and
it is now for your Honorable Body to
determine whether or not it is your
desire to have my department prose-
cute these actions further. We stand
ready to take both cases to the Su-
preme Court, not having changed our
opinion as to the merits of said ac-
tion.
Respectfully,
GEO. T. LYON,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Rand the report
of City Attorney Lyon was referred to
the Committee of the Whole.
City Attorney Lyon also reported as
follom s:
Dubuque, Ia., Aug. 12, 1909.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen:—The undersigned who
was instructed to investigate as to
what agreement, if any, existed be-
tween Edward Muntz and the City of
Dubuque, in relation to his property
on Alta Vista Street, would respect-
fully report that he finds that on Sep-
tember 16th, 1907, Edward Muntz
and others agreed in writing to dedi-
cate to the public for street purposes
a strip of land through their proper-
ty as shown on a plat attached there-
to, with the proviso that the City
open a street and with further under-
standing that the building on the
northeast corner of Lot One of One
of Mineral Lot 81, as shown on the
plat as encroaching on the proposed
street so dedicated, shoula not be
moved without the consent of the
owner, and said proposed dedication
was accepted by the City Council on
November 26th, 1907.
We further find that thereafter the
owners of the property abutting along
the line of the proposed improvement
presented a plat to said Council,
which was duly accepted, approved,
adopted and attested on February 10,
1908, showing she line of the proposed
street.
While the plat so filed and accept-
ed is equivalent to the execution of a
deed in fee simple to the City of the
proposed street, under the circum-
stances above described we assume
that the plat was executed with ref-
erence to the agreement of Septem-
ber 16th, 1907, above referred to, and
we doubt whether the City would now
under these circumstances have the
right to compel the removal of said
building without the owner's consent.
Respectfully,
GEO. T. LYON,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Rand the report
of the City Attorney Lyon was referr-
ed to the Committee of the Whole.
City Attorney Lyon also reported
as follows:
Dubuque, Ia., Aug. 12, 1909.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen:—The undersigned, to
whom was referred the petition of
Alice O'Herrin, guardian of Gertrude
O'Herrin, with reference to a claim
for damages arising from an alleged
defective condition of a sidewalk on
Emmett Street, would respectfully re-
port that the statement contained in
said petition that she was led to be-
lieve from conversation held with me
that her claim was just and fair, is
an entirely unwarranted conclusion,
drawn by her from any conversation
which I may have had with her. Mrs.
O'Herrin did call at my office on sev-
eral occasions with reference to this
claim, but she was informed by me
that I would make an investigation of
the matter and then take it up with
the Committee on Claims, and that it
was for them to determine whether
or not they would consider an offer
of compromise. I did not intention-
ally hold out any inducements to her
Regular Session, August 19th, 1909 273
which would justify her in refraining
from taking such steps as were nec-
essary to protect her interests. I did
investigate the matter and called the
attention of the chairman of the Com-
mittee on Claims to it, but no further
steps were taken by any one concern-
ed until after the time as provided by
law for filing claims had expired. A
notice of claim was filed and present-
ed to this Council. I advised the
Council that the claim was barred
because not filed within the proper
time, and the claim was received and
filed.
Respectfully,
GEO. T. LYON,
City Attorney.
On motion of Aid. Frith the report
of City Attorney Lyon was referred
to the Committee of the Whole.
City Attorney Lyon also reported as
follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen:—The undersigned, to
whom was referred the petition of A.
B. Brown, asking that the Key City
Gas Company be required to extend
its mains from its present line on
Delhi Street to his residence on
Louisa Street, a distance of some two
hundred feet, would respectfully re-
port that under Section four (4) of
Chapter four (4) of the Revised Or-
dinances of 1901 of the City of Du-
buque, being an ordinance pro-
viding for the extension of the
right of the Key City Gas Com-
pany to lay mains, etc., it is provided
that the said company shall agree to
furnish gas for illuminating, cooking
and heating purposes in all cases
where buildings to be supplied are
situated on or contiguous to the line
of the streets or alleys in which the
gas pipes of said company may be
laid.
Under the construction placed upon
similar provisions by courts of last re-
sortin different states, "contiguous"
means "abutting" or "adjacent' 'or
"adjoining," and I therefore do not
believe that the Key City Gas Com-
pany could be compelled to lay its
mains along another thoroughfare
for the accommodation of any indivi-
dual under circumstances like those
in the instant case.
Respectfully,
GEO. T. LYON,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Frith the report
of City Attorney Lyon was referred to
the Committee of the Whole.
City Attorney Lyon also reported
as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen:—In reference to the
matter of the petition of Lacy, Brown
& Lacy, attorneys for the estate of
Wm. Hintrager, deceased, asking that
the treasurer be instructed to accept
$545.93 in full settlement of certain
assessments, and alleging that said as-
sessments are no longer collectible
because of the bar of the statute of
limitations and because of sale for
general taxes of some of the property
involved, and in reference to the mat-
ter of the petition of Julia Kunz, of
a like nature, tendering $50 in full
settlement of special assessments,
which petitions were referred to me
for an opinion relative to the possibil-
ity of collecting on these assessements
I would respectfully report:
The assessments referred to in the
Hintrager petitions were all levied be-
tween the years 1894 and 1897, and
the assessments in the Kunz petition
were levied in the year 1895. All but
seven of the lots referred to in the
Hintrager petition were sold Decem-
ber 4, 1907, for the taxes of the year
1898.
In my opinion all of the assess-
ments referred to in both petitions are
not collectible because action on the
part of the City to enforce payment is
barred by the statute of limitations
There are numerous cases decided by
the supreme court of this state hold-
ing to that effect. F'or all assess-
ments delinquent for more than five
years before the bringing of the ac-
tion no recovery may be had. They
are barred by the statute (Code, sec.
3447). See City of Burlington vs. B.
& M. R. R. Co., 41 Iowa, 134; Fitz-
gerald vs. Sioux City, 125 Iowa, 403;
Brown vs. Sully & Painter, 44 Iowa,
369.
With reference to the lots against
which special assessments were levied
described in the Hintrager petition,
and which were sold for the taxes of
the year 1898. No recovery may be
had on such special assessments un-
der the holding of our supreme court.
The sale of land for taxes divests the
land of the lieu of all prior unpaid
taxes, and the rule operates as well
in favor of the owner who redeems
from a sale as the purchaser at fax
sale. Haugh vs. Eeasley, 47 Iowa, 330.
A 'ale of land for taxes frees it in the
hands of the purchaser from any and
all lieus thereon for delinquent taxes
for prior years. Preston vs. Van Gor-
der, 31 Iowa, 250; Fitzgerald vs.
Sioux City, 125 Iowa. 403. Under the
authorities as found in the decisions
in this state, therefore, the assess-
ments referred to are not enfcrcible.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. T. LYON,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Rand the report
of the City Attorney was approved
274 Regular Session, August
19th, 1909
and City Treasurer to be instructed
to accept $545.93 in full settlement of
special assessments of Wm. Hintra-
ger est., and $50.00 in full settlement
of special assessments of Julia Kunz.
City Attorney Lyon also reported

Council:

Ald. O'Rourke, chairman of the
Committee of the Whole, • also re-
ported as follows:
Your Committee of the Whole, to
whom was referred the petition of
I.c uisa Lange, with reference to the
improvement of Wilbur Avenue and
Olive Street, respectfully reports:
That they have examined said prop-
erty; that that part of Olive Street
lying between the southerly line of
Jefferson Street and the northerly line
of Wilbur Avenue as same is shown
in the plat, is not practicable to be
improved or used as a street, it be-
ing on a steep side -hill; that W. H.
Day, Jr., owns the ground on both
sloes thereof and is in possession of
said part of Olive Street and claims
to own same; that the petitioner,
Louisa Lange, who owns the proper-
ty on the southerly side of Wilbur
Avenue opposite the property in ques-
tion, now requests that Wilbur Ave-
nue be widened to a width of forty
feet westerly from the easterly line of
Clive Street, a distance of fifty-six
feet, ten inches, and that said Wil-
bur Avenue be improved by being
graded, guttered, curbed and macad-
amized, from the westerly end of the
present improvement, which is the
easterly line of Olive Street, westerly
a distance of fifty-six feet, ten inches.
To accomplish this it will be required
to use the southerly twenty -feet of
Olive Street as now platted and to
use the easterly twenty-four and one-
half feet of the southerly twenty feet
of lot twenty-nine (29) in Farley's
Subdivision in the City of Dubuque,
which lot belongs to W. H. Day, Jr.
the said W. H. Day, Jr., is willing to
relinquish to the city any claim that
he may have to the southerly twenty
feet of Olive Street as shown by the
pian and to deed to the City the east-
erly twenty-four feet six inches, of the
southerly twenty feet of Lot 20, in
Farley's Subdivision, all of said prop-
er ty so relinquished and deeded to be-
come part of Wilbur Avenue, he to
assume the burden of erecting such
r taining wall as he may require along
this property so relinquished and con-
veyed to the City and relieve the City
Prem any obligation to construct a re-
th'ning wall there, providing the City
will vacate the remainder of Olive
Street as shown by the plat Lying
sc utherly of the southerly line of Jef-
ferson Street. Such retaining wall as
he may build to be on line with the
existing retaining wall easterly of said
property, the foundation of which ap-
parently encroaches a few inches on
the street. Said Louisa Lange con-
senrs to the vacation of said Olive
Street as proposed by said Day, pro-
vided said Wilbur Avenue is widened
01:0 improved as above stated without
unnecessary delay. Your committee
recommends the acceptance of these
proposals and with aview of carrying
them out recommends the adoption of
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the City Engineer
be and he is hereby directed to make
011(1 report to the Council at its next
meeting an estimate of the cost of
making the necessary excavation and
grading to improve Wilbur Avenue
from the westerly end of the present
improvement to a point fifty-six feet
and ten inches westerly thereof and
also that he ascertain whether or not
the filling to be taken out to make
such improvement can be disposed of
and what can be realized therefor.
We also recommend the adoption of
the following resolution:
Whereas, A proposition is now
pending before the Council to vacate
to W. H. Day, Jr., that part of Olive
Street between the southerly line of
Jefferson Street and the northerly line
of Wilbur Avenue, being the ground
lying between Lot 29 in Farley's Sub-
division and Lot 3 of the subdivision
of Outlot 687, in the City of Dubuque,
both of which Lots belong to said W.
H. Day, Jr.; now, therefore,
Resolved, That the City Engineer
be and he is hereby directed to make
a survey and plat of that part of
Clive Street proposed to be vacated
to be filed in said Engineer's office,
subject to public inspection, and to
give the notices required by ordinance
to all owners of property abutting said
ground proposed to be vacated and to
publish the notice required by ordi-
nance of the said proposed vacation.
Your committee also recommends
that Wilbur Avenue as widened be
improved from the westerly end of
the present improvement to a point 56
feet, 10 inches, westerly thereof by
grading, curbing, guttering and ma-
cadamizing it, and that the necessary
resolution for making this improve-
ment be adopted at the next regular
meeting of the Council.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Mayor Schunk presented the follow-
ing veto:
Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 10th, 1909.
To the Honorable Council City of
Dubuque:
Gentlemen: I have had under con-
sideration the report of your Commit-
tee of the Whole recommending that
the west side of Couler Avenue from
22nd Street to 24th Street be im-
proved, and that the cost thereof be
taken from the Grading Fund, adopted
by your honorable body in regular ses-
sion September 2nd, 1909.
I am not at all disposed to hinder
or in any way delay this important
work, but the absolute fact that the
Grading Fund has been by actual ex-
penditure, contracts made, and work
ordered, practically exhausted, bars
the taking out of any portion of the
proposed expense out of said Fund,
even if the proposition were legal,
which it is not, it would be out of the
question to carry out your action.
I, therefore, return to you the Com-
mittee of the Whole report adopted by
your honorable body on September
2nd, 1909, and hereby veto the mo-
tion that carried adopting same.
Very Respectfully,

City Attorney Lyon reported as fol-

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
buque:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, to
whom was referred the plat and the
schedule of assessment of St. Ambrose
Street, for my opinion as to the le-
gality of the assessment, would re-
spectfully report that as far as ap-
pears upon the face of the schedule
the same seems to be in accordance
with the provisions of the statute re-
garding special assessments.
Section 792A of the Supplement to
the ('ode of 1597, provides among
other things. that special assessments
shall he in proportion to the special
benefits conferred upon the property
thereby and not in excess of such
benefits, and further provides that
such assessments shall not exceed 25%
of the actual value of the lot or tract
at the time of the levy.
Assessment by the front foot rule
under this provision of the statute is
thereby illegal unless everything re-
specting the property to be assessed
is equal then the front foot rule in
apportioning the cost among the sev-
eral lot owners could be applied.
There is no fixed rule laid down by
the law for arriving at the proper es-
timate, and what shall he taken into
consideration in determining to what
extent the property has been enhanc-
ed in value by the improvement must
depend upon the circumstances of
each particular case. The Council
may consider the size, shape and lo-
cation of the lot, also take into ac-
count not only the present conditions
but also the future benefits. In other
words it is for the Council to act up-
on its own judgment regarding the
value of the property and the amount
of benefit conferred and in the ab-
sence of any fraud its judgment is
conclusive unless an appeal is taken
therefrom, and in the present in-
stance, if in the opinion of the Coun-
Regular Session, October, 7 1909 349
cil the proportionate share of the im-
provement as shown upon the sched-
ule is in accordance with the special
benefit conferred upon the respective
property the assessment as made
would be legal.

GEO. T. LYON,
City Attorney.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Mayor Schunk presented and read
the following veto:
To the Honorable City. Council of
the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: I have had under con-
sideration the report of your Com-
mittee of the Whole recommending
that the bill of M. Tschirgi & Son for
extra work on the Thirty-second
Street storm water sewer, amounting
to $157.20, be paid, adopted by your
honorable body in regular session Oc-
tober 7th. 1909..
I find from the City Auditor's books
that the amount left in the Thirty-
second Street storm water sewer ap-
propriation is only $103.46 and of this
amount the 5O10 retained from amount
due contractor, $45.66, must be de-
ducted, leaving available in the fund
only $57.50, making it impossible to
comply with your instructions.
T, therefore, return to you the re-
port of the Committee of the Whole,
adopted by your honorable body Oc-
tober 7th, 1909, and hereby veto the
motion that carried adopting the
same.
Respectfully,
H. A. SCHUNK,
Mayor.
Market Master Katz reported as
follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: I wish to call your at-
tention to the Market House scales,
which were repaired recently and are
again out of commission by reason
of planks binding on the side; also
the approaches are filled with gravel,
which is continually lodging between
the frame and the scale platform.
Please have this matter attended to
as soon as possible.
Respectfuly.
C. W. KATZ,
Market Master.
On motion of Ald. Haas matter was
referred to Committee on Markets
with power.
City Attorney Lyon reported as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: In the matter of the
pettiion of Fred Mussehl, stating that
he is willing to pay half the cost of
the special assessment levied against
his property for curbing and gutter-
ing the south side of Davis Avenue
in the City of Dubuque, which peti-
tion was granted April 26th, 1909,
subject to a later opinion of the City
Attorney, I would respectfully report
as follows:
Special assessments must be levied
in accordance with the special bene-
fits conferred; if, therefore, in the
opinion of the Council, the assessment
in the instant case should be reduced
in the amount allowed by the Coun-
cil in order to make the assessment
comply with this provision of the
statute, the action of the Council
would, in my estimation, be legal.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. T. LYON,
City Attorney.
Ald. Frith moved that report of
City Attorney Lyon be approved and
the City Treasurer be instructed to ac-
cept one-half the special assessment
levied against Fred Mussehl in full
settlement of special assessment for
improvement of Davis Avenue abut-
ting his property. Carried.
City Attorney Lyon also reported
as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: Replying to your writ-
ten inquiry relative to the right of the
City to favor private interests by
spending money appropriated for the
Third Ward Bee Branch sewer, in
arching said sewer for the Dubuque
Packing Co., I would report as fol-
lows:
It is, of course, illegal to expend
public funds for private interests;
however, the sewer in question is a
public, municipal enterprise, and if,
as I understand the fact to be, the
sewer at the place where it is pro-
posed to arch the same, runs along a
public alley, the arching of the sewer
would enable its use by the general
public as well as by the Dubuque
Packing Company, and the work
would be of a public nature, even
though incidentally beneficial to the
Dubuque Packing Co.
As the appropriation made for
work on the ewer in the Third Ward
does not seem to have been made for
any particular kind of work, such as
the extension of the sewer, the money
could be devoted to any work inci-
dent to the imprnvement in question.
Respectfully submitted.

Ald. Martin moved hat resolution
for the covering of all be ankwithsl ith
an asbestos covering
858+ Adjourned Regular Session, October 11, 1909 •
from the Committee of the Whole.
Carried.
Ald. Martin then offered the follow-
ing:
Whereas it is deemed necessary and
advisable to take every possible pre-
caution to safeguard the city from
a disastrous conflagration, and
Whereas it is the duty of the City
Council to safeguard the lives and
property of its citizens and to reduce
the chances of a fire obtaining head-
way to the minimum; therefore,
Be It Resolved by the City Council
of the City of Dubuque, That all
tanks holding gasoline, kerosene or
other highly inflamable oils be cov-
ered with an asbestos covering of not
less than one inch in thickness, and
be it further
Resolved, That the City Attorney
and Ordinance Committee be instruct-
ed to prepare an Ordinance providing
for the enforcement of the aforesaid
regulation.
Ald. O'Rourke moved that rules be
suspended to grant Mr. Robinson,
manager of the Standard Oil Co., per-
mission to address the City Council
in the matter. Carried.
Mr. Robinson then spoke, giving
reasons why asbestos covering would
not be of any protection in case of
tire and not at all practical.
Ald. Martin then moved the adop-
tion of the resolution. Not seconded.
Ald. O'Rourke moved that matter
of Ordinance requiring covering of all
oil tanks with asbestos covering be re-
ferred to the Chief of the Fire De-
partment to investigate the conditions
of tanks of different oil companies

cil with recommendations. Carried.

Ald. Haas stated that the two
bridges across the alleys north of
Thirty-second Street and East and
West of Couler Avenue were in bad
shape and it would be necessary to
do something toward improving their
condition and that he had taken the
matter up with the Mayor to see if
the expense of replacing said bridges
with stone or concrete culverts could
be taken out of the Expense Fund,

the matter and found the fund in such
condition that same would warrant
the expense of paying for the culverts .
from the Expense Fund.
Mayor Schunk then made the fol-
lowing statement: "When recently I
expressed the opinion that the expense
fund would not stand the expense for
two culverts in the Fifth Ward, it was
an expression of fear rather than of
knowledge of the facts. I have since
the fund and I find that in my pre-
carefully investigated the condition of
vious assertion I was mistaken, and
can now state that the fund will stand
the expense and I will gladly sign a
contract for such expenditure, pro-
vided it does not exceed $700.00."

corder be instructed to advertise for

fore the 21st of November. Then re-
moval for non-payment of wharfage

change suggested would systematize

420 Special Session, November 15, 1909
REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
'Mayor Schunk presented and read
the following veto:
Dubuque. io\ya. Nov. 10, 1909.
To the honorable Council, Pity of
Dubuque:
Dear Sirs: T have had under care-
ful consideration the report of your
committee of the vvhole. adopted Oc-
tober 27, 1909. recommending that the
petition of Air. John Olinger for re-
duction of the 1905 tax on Boulevard
Addition from the hoard of equaliza-
tion's valuation to that returned by
the assessor for that year. be received
and filed.
i)uriii all the time this natter huts
born under consideration. there has
been a Made in my mind of the legal-
ity of the board's action in raisin:;
this' assessmca\t without making cor-
respu0ding raises in yaeant properties
in the inimedi;ito vicii ity of \Ir. Olin-
ger's property. The idea of equaliza-
tion in law as interpreted by the
To\wa sepri me court, is not to arbi-
trarily raise ono man's taxes. unless
the same course is pursued with all
adjacent property where values are
low and inequaliti,s exist. The ()lin-
ger property is easily worth the as-
sessment put on it by the beard of
equalization of 190S, and the action of
the latter was fully justified in fixing
the value it did, because it was on
the merits of the property involved. a
fair valuation. Yet the absence of art
equalization of assessed values with
that of other property in the vicinity.
raises the question of regularity. and
creates a well defined doubt as to the
legality of the proceedings.
In view of this fact, 1 would recom-
mend to your honorable body that the
petition of Mr, John Olinger be re-
ferred to City Attorney Lyon with a
request for an early opinion as to the
legality of the board of equalization's
procedure in the matter of the in-
crease in his assessment, and asking
from the attorney a report of recom-
mendation as to what course the city
should pursue to safeguard its right.
and best interests in the premises
legally and fairly to all concerned.
To again bring this matter before
your honorable body for reference to
the city attorney, and to enable us to
get a report and recommendation
from him, T herewith return to you
the committee of the whole report
recommending that the petition of
Mr. John Olinger be received and fil-
ed, adopted by the City Council Octo-
ber 27, 1909, and hereby veto the mo-
tion that carried adopting the same.
Respectfully,
H. A. SCHtJNK,
Mayor.
