he sustained a doctor bill in the
;amount of $8.50 and bill for medi-
cine in the amount of $16.00. That
since said time he has been unable
to work. After talking the matter

I recommend that his claim be
allowed in the sum of $75.00 and a

Dubuque, Iowa,
April 10, 1946
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council of the City of
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
It is common knowledge that a
serious housing shortage exists
in the City of Dubuque, Iowa. This
housing shortage will be all the
more acute at such time in 1946
as the John Deere Tractor Plant,
now being constructed north of
our city, is placed into production.
In an effort to meet the need for
some of this housing the John
Deere Tractor Plant contemplates
the construction of a number of
homes in Hillcrest Park Subdi-
vision and Hillcrest Subdivision
No. 2, located on Asbury Road,
just west of the city limits of
Dubuque, Iowa, provided that
proper water and sewer facilities
can be made availaible.
The demand for housing will
continue to grow as our industrial
plants expand their production
facilities. Demand for housing
will be further increased in the
event that other factories locate
in our community, and there is
every indication that there are
plants seeking locations here. If
we are to be sucessful in acquir-
ing new manufacturing plants to
locate in our community, we must
make plans to provide for the
growth of our city and to make
plans for building of suitable
homes on suitable home sites.
With this in mind and as a
start toward the acomplishment
of this objective, we earnestly
recommend to your honorable
body the extension of the city
limits of Dubuque, Iowa westerly
in the vicinity of Asbury Road
to embrace the territory shown on
a plat attached hereto. Within
this area is . included Hillcrest
Park Subdivision and Hillcrest
Subdivision No. 2. An appropriate
form .of resolution to extend the
city limits to this territory is also
submitted herewith. We are ad.
vised that the limits can be ex-
tended in this instance by the
adoption of a resolution.
We also petition your honorable
body to authorize the extension of
water mains to serve the terri.'
tory embraced in Hillcrest Park
Subdivision and Hillcrest Sub.
division No. 2. An appropriate
form of resolution for this purpose
is submitted for your considera-
tion I ---
In order that some assurance
may be given to the John Deere
Tractor Company that sewer
facilities will be extended to Hill-
crest Park Subdivision and Hill-
crest Subdivision No. 2 we recom-
mend the adoption of a motion
directing the City Manager to
formulate and submit a plan for
the extension of sanitary sewers
to service Hillcrest Park Subdivi-
sion and Hillcrest Subdivision No.
2 and other property in the vi-
cinity thereof.
It is our belief that the orderly
development of the territory ad-
jacent to the City of Dubuque
should be anticipated and the
problem of additional annexations
should be given a most thorough
study. We urge that you direct
the attention of all the municipal
agencies to this subject and sug-
gest their collaboration with the
committee of the Dubuque Cham-
ber of Commerce, which is now
at work on the problem.
Respectfully yours,
DUBUQUE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
C. E. DOVE,
President
Councilman Van Duelman

In re: Claim of Arthur C. Parker
Honorable Mayor and City
Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Arthur C. Parker for $5000.00 for
damages for injuries received on
December 18, 1945, at a place
where he slipped and fell on part
of the sidewalk on the northerly
side of University Avenue which
crosses the end of the alley be-
tween Alta Vista Street and Cen-
ter Place, it appears that ice and
snow and frozen slush has accumu-
lated at this place and had be-
come uneven, rounded, rough and
In a dangerous condition, part of
which was caused from the dis-
charge of water from a drain on
the abutting property. He re-
ceived a fracture of his hip which
resulted in him going to the hos-
pital, receiving hospital care and
attention and medical and surgical
care and attention. He was in the
hospital from the time of his in-
juries on December 18, 1945 to
March 19, 1946. The hospital bill
is $667.05 and the medical bill
$196.00. From the Mercy Hospital
he went to St. Anthony's home
where he is still confined. At
this time he is walking around
on crutches and probably will be
for some time in the future. He
claims that he .suffered much pain,
discomfort and loss of wages.
After consultation with his At-
torney, Frank R. Lacy, about this
matter, they have agreed to ac-
cept $750.00 in full payment of the
claim. I feel that the condition
of. the walk at the place in ques-
tion was such as to make a jury
question on. the matter of neg11=
Bence:
I recommend that the claim - be
settled for 1750-00- . that a war-
rant be issued payable to Frank
R. Lacy, attorney for Arthur. C.
Parker in the amount of $750.00
and that the same be delivered
when a release properly executed
is filed by the claimant.
Yours truly,

To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: The Planning and
Zoning Commission respectfully
recommends to your Honorable
Body denial of the attached petition
of the Dubuque Packing Company
requesting vacation of part of side-
walk on north side of 16th Street
adjacent to their property. The
Planning and Zoning Commission
continues to consider 16th Street
the main traffic artery to the future
City Island Industrial Project and
feels that it should not be narrow-
ed; instead, it is the considered
Judgment of the Commission that
future traffic demands will call for
considerable widening, possibly to
100 feet or more.
At the meeting at which the
above action was taken, the ex.
pressed attitude of the Planning
and Zoning Commission was that it
would be willing at any time to
meet the Dubuque Packing Com•
pany representatives to discuss al•
ternative measures which may
bring about the desired result.

means by which an outdoor recrea-
tion field, stadium and field house
might be procured for Dubuque, he
is requesting information as follows
with regard to municipal powers so
that the best final decision may be
arrived at in this matter:
1. Is a public facility compris-
ing a stadium and field house in-
cluding a further facility in com-
pliance with Section 500 of the
1939 Code of Iowa, a memorial
building in compliance with Chap-
ter 33 of the 1939 Code of Iowa?
2. Could a River Front Improve-
ment Commisison be set up in Du-
buque which, if established, would
have legal authority to levy a tax
and issue bonds and have charge
of the construction, management,
and*operation of a facility such as
above described, if the electors of
Dubuque desire this type of public
improvements?
126 Special Session, May 24th, 1946
3. We would also like to be ad-
vised if there are any agencies of
the Federal Government which
have the authority to make grants,
or loan funds, for the construction
of such a project.
4. If a River Front Improvement
Commission might be established in
Dubuque would such a body have
the authority to levy a tax for the
maintenance, if such a fund were
necessary, for the maintenance of
this facility in a good state of re-
pair and upkeep, presented and
read.

To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The Planning and
Zoning Commission respectfully
recommends to your Honorable
Body denial of the attached peti-
tion of the Dubuque Packing Com-
pany requesting vacation of part of
sidewalk on north side of 16th
Street adjacent to their property.
The Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion continues to consider 16th.
Street the main traffic artery to the
future City Island Industrial Proj-
ect and feels that it should not be
narrowed; instead, it is the consid-
ered judgment of the Commission
that future traffic demands will call
for considerable widening, possibly
to 100 feet or more.
At the meeting at which the
above actiton was taken, the ex-
pressed attitude of the Planning
and Zoning Commission was that it
would be willing at any time to
meet the Dubuque Packing Com-
pany representatives to discuss al-
ternative measures which may
bring about the desired result.
Yours truly,
DUBUQUE PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION,
By R. V. McKay,
Secretary.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the communication be referred
back to the Planning and Zoning
Commission to meet with the repre-
sentatives of the Dubuque Packing
Company to discuss alternate meas-
ures as suggested in the communica-

May 24, 1946.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the session of the
City Council held May 17th, verbal
p,pplications were received asking
permission to erect "Quonset huts"
for use as dwellings. It was ,toted
that these huts do not meet the
state and local standards for dwell-
ings. The effect of permitting sub-
standard dwellings of rather drab
appearance in established neighbor-
hoods with an attendant deprecia-
tion of property values was also
discussed. It was suggested that
consent of adjacent property own-
ers be first obtained by the appli-
cants and that any permits for such
huts be for a limited period.
The housing shortage in this city
being critical and with veterans and
their families in dire need of shel-
ter, liberal attitudes and interpreta-
tions must be made if suffering is
to be averted. It is my recommen-
dation that a segregated area be
designated upon which "Quonset
huts" or similar structures for use
as dwellings be permitted for a
period of not to exceed five years.
City -owned Lot 3 of Randall's Sub.
at the easterly end of Mt. Loretta
Avenue with the construction of
minor access roadways would lend
itself for this purpose. A lease ar-
rangement could be made with the
applicants for a limited period at
the termination of which the huts
could be removed .
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Moffatt moved that
the recommendation of City Man-
ager Rhomberg be approved. Sec-
onded by Councilman Murphy. Car-

Gentlemen:
At the May 6th meeting of the coun-
cil the petition of Clarence Strub
et al requesting the grading and
improvement of West Third Street
from North Grandview Avenue to
Algona Street was referred to the
council to view the grounds. De-
velopment of this street to a width
of 50 feet necessitates the pur-
chase of three parcels of land on
the northerly side of the street at
which point the right-of-way is
presently only 25 feet in width.
The southerly 25 feet of Lot 2 of
30 of Ann O'Hare's Sub on the
Grandview Avenue end has been of-
fered the city for $1,000.00 through
H. R. Hanger, agent for Mrs. C. A.
Kearney. I have negotiated with
the owners of the 25 foot strips
needed from Lots 24 and 25 of Ann
O'Hare's Sub. Both owners agree
to sell for $350.00 each.
I recommend that the City Coun-
cil authorize the purchase of these
Parcels by the passage of the at-
tached resolution and that a grade
be adopted for West Third Street
from North Garndview Avenue to
Algona Street.

170 Special Session, June 10th, 1946
lawn, Moningview, Chaney, Ogilby,
Mullin, Valleyview and Hillcrest
Roads at the earliest date.
Our investigation for the sanitary
sewers discloses that two projects
should be undertaken. The first is
the construction by the city of a
new trunk sewer beginning in
White Street at East 16th Street;
thence northerly in White Street
to East 22nd Street; thence wester-
ly in East 22nd Street and in Kauf-
man Avenue to the water level
property; thence southwesterly
along the water level property and
in the ravine between the Clarke
College property and the Bunker
Hill Golf Course to Seminary Street
at approximately the old corpora-
tion line and thence in Seminary
Street to the Asbury Road.
The second project would consist
of lateral sewers in the various
streets of the subdivisions connect-
ing to a wet well, a pumping lift
station near the intersection of
Morningview and Hillcrest Roads,
a cast iron force line from the
pumping station to connect with
the proposed trunk sewer outlined
above at Asbury and Seminary
Streets.
The second project is one subject
to special assessment procedure
and I recommend that plans, speci-
fications and a plat and schedule
be prepared preliminary to the
adoption of a resolution of neces-
sity. The first or trunk sewer pro-
ject outlined is approximately
three miles in length through rath-
er difficult and rocky terrain and
will not only involve a hearing upon
plans and specifications, but a bond
issue to provide the construction
funds required.
The Iowa Development Company
is desirous of proceeding with all
possible speed in the erection of 91
units to [house 104 families and
have requested that every effort
be made to expedite the project.

AN EMERGENCY TAX.
Whereas, The revenue in certain
funds of the municipality set out in
the within application is inadequate
to meet the actual and necessary
expenses which must be paid from
said funds and any extraordinary or
unforseen expense which may arise
during the ensuing fiscal year; and
Whereas, The inadequacy of the
revenue referred to is deemed to
constitute an emergency which re-
quires the levy of an emergency
tax; therefore

buque County, Iowa, that the State
Comptroller be andis to reby levy an

emergency tax for the year 1946, in
the sum of Twenty-four Thousand
Dollars ($24,000.00), (not exceeding
one mill) said tax to be used as set
out below.
The Consolidated Fund is to be
benefited by the transfer of
$24,000.00 from the Emergency
Fund. This is necessary because of
the greatly increased costs of sal-
aries, wages and supplies already in
effect which may further be in-
creased by any extraordinary or un-
forseen circumstances which may
arise during the year 1947.1943.

Resolution No. 97-46
RESOLUTION AND APPLICA-
TION FOR APPROVAL TO
LEVY AN EMERGENCY TAX
Whereas, The revenue in certain
funds of the municipality set out
in the within application is inade-
quate to meet the actual and neces-
sary expenses which must be paid
from said funds and any extraordin-
ary or unforseen expense which
may arise during the ensuing fis-
cal year; and
Whereas, The inadequacy of the
revenue referred to is deemed to
constitute an emergency which re-
quires the levy of an emergency
tax; therefore
Be It resolved, by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque, Dubuque
County, .Iowa, that the State Comp-
troller be and is hereby petitioned
for approval to levy an emergency
tax for the year 1946, in the sum
of twenty-four thousand ($24,000),
(not exceeding one mill) . said tax
to be used as set out below.
The Consolidated Fund is to be
benefited by the transfer of $24,-
000.00 from the Emergency Fund.
This is necessary because of the
greatly increased costs of salaries,
wages and supplies already in ef-
fect which may further be increas-
ed by any extraordinary or unfor-
seen circumstances which may arise
during the year 1947-1948.

Leonard Burke, was present on at
least one accasion when these girls
were served. Chief Strub, who was
present at the hearing, informed
me that charges had been filed
against both the bartender and the
proprietor, but that the charge
against the proprietor was dis-
missed and the bartender allowed
to forfeit a $100.00 bond without
any attempt to obtain a conviction.
I recalled that this same tavern
had been involved in a juvenile
case previously, and consequently
looked at the District Court crim-
inal records to find out what dis-
position had been made of the prior
charge. On November 7, 1945, Leon-
ard Burke was found guilty in Po-
lice Court on two charges; per-
mitting a minor to consume beer
on his tavern premises; and keep-
ing liquor on the tavern premises.
He was fined $50.00 and costs on
each charge, and appealed both
convictions to District Court. How.
ever, on January 8, 1946, before
any hearing was had on the appeal,
the fines were paid to the office
of the Clerk of the District Court
and remitted to the City of Du-
buque.
Mr. Arthur A. Witherall, 1845
Bennett Street, addressed the Coun-
cil requesting that a slow sign be

Mr. A. A. Rhomberg, Manager,
City of Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa
Dear Ab: At a recent juvenile
court hearing involving two girls
of 14 and 16 years of age, charged
with forgery, the evidence indi-
cated that on the two occasions in-
volved, the girls, after securing the
money from the forged instruments,
immediately went to the Shangri-
La Tavern on 11th and Main Street
where they were served with beer
by the bartender. The evidence
also indicated that the proprietor,
You will note that on the latest
offense, a bond forfeiture was in-
volved. I believe that on prior oc-
casions when someone has raised
the question about license revoca-
tion under such circumstances an
opinion has been given that a bond
forfeiture does not constitute a
conviction, and that failure to prose-
cute the matter further would pre-
clude the city from revoking the
license. In the cases arising last
November no question of a lack of
conviction exists. I assume that
you and the City Council are fami-

a Petition must be filed in accord-
ance with the provisions of this
chapter. A tax is authorized for the
development, expansion and con-
tinuation of the building. Such

in any public park and upon any
other suitable site.
From a careful examination of
the statute referred to and a num-
ber of cases, including some sub-
mitted to me, I am of the opinion
that the statute is limited to the
erection of a building and does not
contemplate the inclusion of out

in conjunction therewith.

To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: With reference to
the petition of A. Y. McDonald
Mfg. Co., asking for vacation of
certain streets and alley in the
neighborhood of their plant for
expansion purposes the Planning
and Zoning Commission requests
that your honorable body waive
the statutory thirty day limit with-
in which the Commission is requir-
ed to make a recommendation to
Council before the Council may act
Adjourned Regular Sc::i()n, Septemher 3rd, lo4O 287
without such recommendation, in
order to give the Planning and
Zoning Commission more time to
make a thorough study of the sit-
uation.
As you know, the Commission is
about to engage expert advice to
help solve among other matters the
serious traffic problems facing the
City, and one of the first studies
will be that of handling the traffic
from the proposed industrialized
City Island. Until such study is
made it will be difficult to judge
the effects of the changes proposed
by A. Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. Such
a study will probably take more
than thirty days, for this reason
and in view of the objections of
other property owners in that area,
the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion recommends that City Council
take no action until a complete re-
port may be prepared by the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
The Dubuque Planning and Zoning
Commission

August 18, 1946
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: Assuming that U. S.
Highways 61 and 151 are re-routed
as proposed and again assuming
that the removal of such traffic
might threaten the survival of the
upper bridge operation, the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission be-
lieves that it is it's duty to lay be-
fore City Council the apparent con-
sequences of such happenings from
the general traffic standpoint, es-
pecially in view of plans now un-
der way to engage a City Planner
to investigate and recommend
means to meet traffic conditions
now and in the future.
Preliminary plans for the devel-
opment of City Island call for a
major highway from Garfield Av-
enue at Farley St. south along the
west boundary of City Island and
connecting with all open east -west
highways from 11th to 16th Sts.
inclusive. This proposed highway
would take considerable farm -to.
market and tourist traffic off the
Present north -south arteries. Move-
ments to and from Dubuque Pack-
ing Co, plant from South Western
Wisconsin would never clutter up
the present lanes if handled over
a north bridge crossing, whereas,
this same traffic over the four mile
longer south bridge route would
add to the hazards while passing
through the main part of the City
enroute to the Packing Co. plant.
Until the proposed traffic studies
progress sufficiently the Planning
and Zoning Commission believes
it would be in the public interest
for City Council to urge the Iowa
State Highway Department to de-
fer at least temporarily the pro-
posed changes in U. S. Highway 61
and 1.51 routing.
Respectfully submitted,
The Dubuque Planning and Zoning

In re: Claim of Emile Weiss
Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: Upon investigation of
the above claim I find that on or
about July 8, 1946 claimant, while
traveling on a sidewalk in front of
2776 Central avenue, after leaving
work about midnight, fell over a
pile of bricks which had been there
for some time, receiving injuries
to her right leg and to her mouth,
requiring medical and dental care.
She has made a claim of $500.00.
Her actual expenses run about
$75.00. She has agreed to settle for
$100.00.
I recommend that the claim of
Emile Weiss be allowed in the sum
of $100.00 and that a warrant be is-
sued payable to her order for that
amount, delivered to her upon de-
livery to the City of a properly ex-
ecuted release.
Yours truly.

property at the corner of West Lo-
cust and Kirkwood Streets as a
trailer camp was referred to the

ment for investigation and report.

er and I investigated the site.
There were 11 trailers on the prem-
ises; 1 with four occupants, 5 with
two each; 3 with one occupant; 1
empty and 1 for sale. Three dogs
are on the lot. These trailers are
connected with electricity but not
to any other utilities. Water is ob-
tained from a spigot at the rear
of the filling station. During the
hours the station is open from
7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. separate
toilets for both sexes are avail-
able, at night from 10:00 p.m. to
7:30 a. in. the ladies toilet is used
by both sexes. Garbage is placed in
one large covered container which
is hauled away daily by the pro-
prietor. The kitchen sink drainage
of each trailer is run into a per-
forated barrel buried in the earth
beneath. There are no facilities for
bathing or washing of clothes. The
outside bell system attached to the
telephone circuit might well have
a cut-off switch for night use since
it is not possible to respond to
a telphone call when the station
is closed. Wrecker truck service
has operated from this station since
August of this year.

In re: Florence Lemper V. City
of Dubuque.
Honorable Mayor and
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen: On June 9, 1945,
Florence Lemper filed with the City
Council of the City of Dubuque, a
claim in which she stated that the
Statute of Iowa provided that a
police matron should receive a sal-
ary not less than the minimum
salary paid to policemen in the
City of Dubuque, asserting that
from 'March 31, 1944 to May 1, 1945,
inclusive, she had not received the
salary provided by the statute and
330 Special Session, October 28th, 1946
that she was entitled to the' full
amount thus provided for the past
five years. That thereafter she
filed an Amended and Substituted
Petition in the District Court of
Dubuque County, Iowa, upon the
same grounds, claiming that there
was due her the sum of $1,666.00,
with legal interest.
Upon behalf' of the City there
was filed an answer which alleged,
among other things, that plaintiff,
because of her actions and conduct
had acquiesced in the payment of
said salary and was thus estopped
from claiming any more than was
paid to her. A motion was made
by Plaintiff to strike out this part
of the answer which was sustained
by the District Court. An appeal
was taken upon this ruling and the
Supreme Court affirmed the opinion
of the lower Court, striking that
part of the answer in which de-
fendant set up the defense of waiv.
er, acquiesence and estoppel.
In the case of Claser V. Burling-
ton, 231 Iowa 670, the Supreme
Court held that firemen suing the
City for back salary had waived
their right thereto, but in speaking
about that case herein, they stated
that the same did not apply and
that in this case the plaintiff was
entitled to the full salary provided
by the Code. It was because of
this case that an appeal was tak-
en. That matter now having been
dgtermined against the City the
only thing remaining to do is to
pay the claim of Florence Lemper
and the Court costs. The amount
of her claim with interested to
October 15, 1946 amounts to
$1948.39.
1 recommend that a warrant be
issued payable to Czizek & Czizek,
attorneys for Florence Lemper and
that the same be delivered upon
the delivery to the City of a proper
release, and that a warrant be is.

City Solicitor.
Councilman Murphy moved that

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: At the meeting of
October 28th the communication of
the Retail Merchants' bureau rela-
tive to decorative lighting on the
streets was referred to the Manager
and City Electrical Inspector for
report and recommendation.
We find that it is not practicable
nor desirable to connect the decora-
tive lighting suspended over the
streets with the boulevard lighting
system because of the high voltage
of the latter. We recommend that
electrical energy be furnished from
the secondary circuits of the Inter-
state Power System, limited to 115
volts to ground, which is available
within the alleys adjacent to all
of the intersections involved.
Respectfully submitted,

County, Iowa, City of Dubuque,
claiming damages in the sum of
$5000.00, because of an injury re-
ceived on or about February 10,
1946, from a fall by plaintiff on a
sidewalk while walking west on the
South sidewalk on Fourteenth
Street, when she reached a point
about twenty feet, west of the south-
west corner of the intersection of
Fourteenth and White Streets, at
a place where it is claimed the
sidewalk was covered with rough,
rounded, uneven ice, which condi-
tion was caused by water discharg-
ed from a down -spout from a filling
station building owned by the Iowa
Oil Company; that because of said
fall plaintiff suffered serious and
permanent personal injuries con-
sisting of a fracture of the neck of
the left femur, and general nervous
shock, causing her to suffer ex-
cruciating pain, nervousness and
discomfort, and permanent injury.
That she incurred expenses for
medicine, surgical treatment and
hospitalization.
After Annie Steffan commenced
action in the District Court of Iowa,
Dubuque County, I filed proceedings
requesting the court to order the
Iowa Oil Company to be brought in
as a party defendant. The Court
entered such order, and the Iowa
Oil Company is now defendant in
the action with the City of Dubuque.
That negotiation for settlement
have been had with the Attorneys
for the plaintiff and defendants,
and plaintiff has agreed to settle
this case upon payment of $1800.00.
The Insurance Company for the
Iowa Oil Company has agreed to
pay $1200.00. 1 am of the opinion
that the city should pay the balance
of $600.00.
I recommend that this case be
settled upon the city paying $600.00
to plaintiff Annie Steffen, and that
a warrant be issued to Kenline, Roe -
dell, Hoffman & Reynolds, Attor-
neys for Annie Steffan, in the, sum
of $600.00, and that the same be
delivered, upon delivery to the city
of a release, properly executed to-
gether with a dismissal of the ac-
tion.
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor
Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Solic-
itor Kintzinger be approved and the
City Auditor instructed to draw a
warrant in the amount of $600.00
in favor of Kenline, Roedell, Hoff-
man & Reynolds, Attorneys for
Annie Steffan, as settlement in full
of her claim, and that said warrant
be delivered upon receipt by the
City of Dubuque of a properly ex-
ecuted release together with a dis-
missal of the court action. Second-
ed by Councilman Moffatt. Carried
by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Wharton, Council-
men Moffatt, Murphy, Thompson,
Van Duelman.
Nays—None.

384. . Special Session, December 16th, 1946
December 14, 1946.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In the case of ex -
police matron Mrs. Florence Lem -
per vs. the City of Dubuque the
District Court found that police
matrons shall receive not less in
any case than the minumum salary
paid to policemen in the city in
which they are appointed. (Section
5667, 1939 Code of Iowa). The City
was directed to pay the salary dif-
ferential for a period of five years
back with 5% interest, which has
since been done.
Miss Mary Burke, police matron,
is entitled to similar treatment.
She was not paid the minimum
salary of policemen until November
16, 1945. Therefore there is owing
to her the salary differential for
the five year period from Novem-
ber 16, 1940 to November 16, 1945
with interest to date. As com-
puted by John Brady, timekeeper
for the Police Department, and
Robert Marshall, City Auditor, this
amounts to $1,296.40 net difference
in salary, $232.39 in interest, or a
total of $1,528.79 after the amount
of $13.10 has been retained for pen-
sion payments.
I recommend that the City Coun-
cil direct the issuance of a warrant
in favor of Mary Burke in the sum
of $1,528.79 and a warrant in favor
of the Police Pension Fund in the
sum of $13.10 as payment in full of
the salary of Mary Burke, police
matron.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of City
Manager Rhomberg be approved
and the City Auditor directed to
draw a warrant in the amount of
$1,528.79 in favor of Mary Burke
and a warrant in favor of the Police
Pension Fund in the amount of
$13.10 as payment in full of the
salary of Mary Burke, police mat,
ron. Seconded by Councilman Mur.

December 16, 1946.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Request has been
rade to the Building Department
for variation from the building code
In regard to chimneys. One code re-
luires a chimney of masonry or
other approved incombustible
materials from the foundation to at
[east two feet above the highest
point of the roof, having a soot
clean-out and to be lined through-
out with terra cotta flue lining.
It is requested that in lieu of the
above, the City permit the use of
transite pipe or equal extending
from the top gas burning heating
units to a point two feet above the
point of the roof from which the
flue issues. The question is pre-
sented to the Council for determi-
nation.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. Rhomberg,
City Manager.
Mr. James Goddard addressed the
Council in support of the request
made to the Building Department.

City Solicitor be requested to pre-
pare a proper ordinance to amend

men Moffatt, Murphy, Thompson, should be suspended, stated as fol-
lows:
Van Duelman. "In answer to your second ques-
Nays—None. tion, if the old age recipient and
his deceased wife left no issue,
then the property would descend
directly to the husband, if the
property was valued at less than
$7,500,00. In this situation, it is
our opinion that the auditor
should suspend the taxes. How-
ever, if the old age recipient and
his wife left issue, the husband,
of course, would only get one-
third of the property upon his
wife's death. It is our opinion
that in this situation, the auditor
should not suspend the taxes as
it would hardly be practicable
to suspend one-third of the taxes
and collect the other two-thirds."

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: Referring to the at-
tached petition of Welkin H. Mauer
requesting the rezoning of his prop-
erty at 2215 Green St. to Two Fam-
ily Classification, the Planning &

your honorable body that the peti-

January 6, 1947
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: The attached peti-
tion of Edmund L. Dideseb et, al.
requests the rezoning of his prop-
erty at 923 W. 3rd St. (the old
Burch residence) to Multiple Resi-
dence classification, but due to lack
Of authority to rezone a single
piece of property the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommends to
Your honorable body the denial of
the petition.
In this connection, however,
since Mr. Didesch's petition bears
the names of the owners of much
of the adjacent property and since
it is the seasoned judgment of the
Planning & Zoning Commission
that the trend in this general area
is toward Multiple Residence sta-
tus the Planning & Zoning Com-
mission recommends to the Hon-
orable City Council that the entire
area bounded by West Third St.,
Burch St. and Hill St. not already
zoned as Multiple Residence be re-
zoned to Multiple Residence Classi-
fication, as per attached plat.

Dear Jay: The report of the Du-

January, 1947 Term of Court, which
was submitted to me on Saturday.
included a request that a copy of
said report be forwarded to the
Dubuque County Board of Super-
visors, and to the City Council of
the City of Dubuque.
I enclose herewith a copy of the
report and ask that you submit it
to the City Council at their next
meeting.
Yours very truly,
MILTON J. GLENN, Judge
19th Judicial District of Iowa
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF
IOWA, IN AND FOR DUBUQUE
COUNTY REPORT OF
GRAND JURY
January Term, 1947
To the Honorable Milton J. Glenn.
Judge of the District Court of Du-
buque County, Iowa:
Comes now the undersigned mem-
bers of the Grand Jury for the
January 1947 Term of the District
Court in and for Dubuque County,
Iowa, and present this report to the
District Court.
The undersigned members of the
Grand Jury have been in session 3
days and have investigated all cases
of law violations coming within the
jurisdiction of the said Grand Jury.
This Grand Jury returns 1 indict-
ment and further state that they
have dismissed no cases and have
exanlined during the period that
I llvil,llf beell 111 session I witlless,
This Grand Jury further states
that in addition to the above listed
cases and witnesses, they have ex-
aulined one witness, have investi-
gated the complaints of said wit-
ness, and have taken no further ac-
tion thereon. This Grand Jury fur.
ther state that they have made an
inspection of the Dubuque County
Court House and the Dubuque
County Jail and are familiar with
the condition of the City Hall of
Dubuque, Iowa and in connection
with said three buildings, submit
the following findings and recoln-
mendations:
The present Court House was
constructed 56 years ago, the pres-
ent County Jail was constructed
nearly 100 years ago, and the Du.
buque City Hall was constructed 89
years ago. All are now inadequate
for their purposes, all contain fire
and health hazards and their con-
dition is such that the cost of up-
keep is prohibitive and attempted
renovation would be a waste of
public funds.
The Court House has no fire-
proof vault for the preservation of
County records; over -crowded con-
ditions in many of the offices re-
sult in important records being
stored on the upper floors, outside
of any vault; the top floors, parti-
cularly, constitute a fire hazard;
the tall steeple may be in such con-
dition as to constitute a hazard to
Court House personnel and passer-
by; the leaky condition of the roof.
the antiquated toilet facilities, and
condition of other parts of the
building, indicate that many re-
pairs or replacements are needed
at the present time.
The County Jail is being main-
tained efficiently and adequately;
however, it is so antiquated and
out-tnoded, that it does not furnish
fit facilities for the confinement of
human beings. The second and third
tier cell gangways are still in a
dangerous condition.
The cost of maintaining these
three old buildings is a constant
drain on public funds which will
continue and increase. The Grand
Jury are informed that fire officials
have recently ordered that fire es-
capes be placed on the Court House
Special sessl oil, T:utuary 15th, 19-17 I11
and that such addition may cost
twelve thousand dollars.
This Grand Jury is informed that
in many communities throughout
the nation, a Court House, County
.Tail and City Hall have been com-
bined into one unit, resulting in
efficiency. convenience, and de-
creased maintenance costs.
Wherefore, this Grand Jury re-
spectfully recommends and sug-
gests that the members of the Du-
buque County Board of Supervisors
and of the Dubuque City Council,
either by themselves or through
a Committee to be appointed by
them, investigate and consider the
possEibility of replacing the present
Court House, City Hall and County
.Jail with a single new unit, and if
this plan is found feasible, that the
necessary legal steps be taken to
submit the question to the votef s.
so that such unit may be construct-
ed as soon as building conditions
permit.
The Grand Jury requests the
Court to forward a copy of this
report to the Dubuque County
Board of Supervisors and to the
City Council of the City of Dubuque.

as the basis for the future de-

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council.
Gentlemen:
The attached petition of the Du-
buque Packing Company asking for
the vacation of certain streets and
alleys in the East Industrial Area
was referred to the Planning and
Zoning Commission for recommen-
dation and report. A great deal of
the time and attention of our con-
sultant, Justin Hartzog, has been
used in the study of the problem.
The Commission has devoted a
number of meetings to the subject
and several conferences have been
Regular Session, March 3rd, 1947 35
had with the representatives of the
Packing Company.
Agreement has not been reached
with the Packing Company repre-
sentatives. However the Commis-
sion has attempted to meet the
requirements of industry while at
the same time safeguard the public
interest. It is to be noted that the
Hartzog report and the attached
plan "B" contemplates the use of
a widened Ash Street instead of
Lynn Street, which was the first
choice for a north -south thorough-
fare. This compromise was made
in order to assist the Packing
Company development.
To implement the plan for the
development of the area, the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission re-
spectfully recommends to- your
honorable body the vacation of the
following:
1. East 17th Street as follows:
From the east line of Sycamore
Street to the west line of Lynn
Street; from the east line of Lynn
Street to a point 36 feet west of
the west line of Ash Street; from
the east line of Ash Street to the
easterly line of East Dubuque Sub-
division.
2. East 18th Street from the
east line of Lynn Street to a point
36 feet west of the west line of Ash
Street and from the east line of
Ash Street to the east line of East
Dubuque Subdivision.
3. Lynn Street from the north
line of E 15th Street to the south
line of E. 16th Street.
4. The easterly 32 feet of Lynn
Street from the north line of E.
16th Street to the south line of E.
18th Street.
5. Marsh Street from the north
line of E. 16th Street to the south
line of East 19th Street.
6. 'Hickory Street from the
north line of E. 16th Street to the
south line of East 19th Street.
7. The alley between Sycamore
and Lynn Streets from the north
line of E. 15th Street to the south
line of E. 16th Street and from the
north line of E. 16th Street to the
south line of E. 17th Street.
8. The alley between Lynn and
Ash Streets from the north line of
East 15th Street to the south line
of E. 16th Street and from the
north line of East 16th Street t(
the south line of East 19th Street
9. The alley between Ash and
Harsh Streets from the north line
)f East 15th Street to the south
ine of East 16th Street and from
the north line of E. 16th Street to
the south line of E. 19th Street.
10. The alley between Marsh
ind Hickory Streets from the
north line of E. 16th Street to the
south line of E. 19th Street.
It is further recommended that
the vacated portion of the streets
and alleys as outlined above and
as shown on the attached plat be
conveyed to the Dubuque Packing
Company upon the conveyance to
the City of Dubuque of a strip of
land 36 feet in width adjacent to

Special Session, March 14th, 1947 43
tion. The request is for rezoning
of a single piece of property which
is illegal and the petition is signed
only by the interested parties.
This is a modest but fast im-
proving residential area, which the
Commission feels is entitled to pro-
tection just as is any other resi-
dential district. At present, it
would seem that there is no gen-
eral need for the facilities of a
Local Business District in this sec.
tion.

sion learned that she wished to
add a room to her home to make
room for herself as well as a mar-
ried G. I. son. She may do this

Is no apparent general need for
rezoning in this area, the above
action is recommended.
