To the Honorable M ayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. gentlemen: In connection with the request of the Continental Oil Corn-. parry, dated June 5th and presented to City Council on the same date, requesting to eliminate the curbing at the northwest corner of Locust and West 5th Streets, please be ad- vised, that the City Council, on the afternoon of June 6th, viewed this location and the decision, was as follows: Due to the fact that the, removal of the curb at this intersection of the, sidewalk on the west side of Locust Street and the north side of West 5th, Street would permit cars to cut around, this corner in such a way as to endanger pedestrians, and in view of the fact that an entrance to the filling station at the intersection of the two sidewalks on 5th and Lo- cust Streets would prevent pedes- trian s from waiting at this intersec- tion for traffic to clear, prior to crossing the street, the Council ruled that they could not grant the request. They did approve, to a modified degree, the original drawing desig- nated B- 1867A -13A which shows a curb at the intersection of the two sidewalks, but Council consented to the - increasing of the said radius. up to a minimum of 20 feet. This will not interfere with the, full 6 -foot side - walk projection at the intersection and will, provide a safe waiting place for pedestrians standing at the, in- tersection, while cars are passing.

Henschel was presented to the City Council "re- questing that Dillon Street be graded and covered with cinders from Grandview to the alley between State Street and South Hill Street, also that the alley between South Hill Street and State Street, at the north end of Dillon Street be graded. This request was viewed by the City Council June 6th and due to the excessive amount of fill that would be necessary, the decision "of Council was that the work could not be undertaken at this time. In order to provide an entrance to the home of Mr. J. A. Henschel on Dillon Street, it was deemed ad- visable to shape up the alley at the south end of this property leading from State Street and to grade slightly said alley at the north end of the same so that a continuous alley would be provided, preventing the necessity of a turn thoroughfare.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On a tour of the City June 6th, City Council were shown a condition that exists at the rear of Mrs. Brede's Lot No. 4 at Vernon and Mt. Pleasant Streets. Complaint has been filed by Mrs. Brede against the City due to the fact that in 1932 the alley east of Lots 4, 5 and 6 had been graded at the request of own- ers of Lots 13 and 14. Since the alley had been graded, the garage on the rear of Lot 4, belonging to Mrs. Brede, which has no footings underneath the walls, has shown signs of failure. The garage was built too high in regard to the grade of Vernon Street and said alley leading south from Vernon Street at the rear of Lots 4, 5 and 6. The decision of Council was that the City was not to blame for the condition of the garage due to the fact that the grade of Vernon Street and the approach of the alley off Vernon Street had been established and the garage had not been prop- erly constructed in regard to the street and alley grades. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman McEvoy moved that the report be made a matter of rec- ord. Seconded by Councilman Schuckert.

Gentlemen: Attached is a request of Mr. M. C. Mai of 438 Main Street, the operator of the former Bruns- wick Billiard Parlor, which was pre- sented to Council May 26, 1933, and referred to the City Manager for fur- ther investigation. Mr. Mai's plea is that on April 10, 1933, he applied for and was issued a license for five pool and billiard tables, totaling $25.00. The license fee was paid on date of issuance of license. At the time of request for license, Mr. Mai discussed with Miss Demkier a possibility of refund on said billiard table license in case of change of occupation on said prem- ises. In his letter to Council, Mr. Mai stated that "no doubt a refund would be made upon application." In our conversation today, I find that he was not guaranteed by this office a refund, but that the thought that possibly he might receive a refund arose in his mind after having seen refunds made on cigarette licenses and other City licenses. Following the approval of the beer act, Mr. Mai was one of the first petitioners for a Class B permit. He was granted and paid for beer per- mit No. 13 issued April 25, 1933, as well as $10.00 for a restaurant li- cense on the same date, totaling $110.00. Immediately on granting of his beer permit, he started to aban- don the pool and billiard tables and Special Session, June 28th, 1933 141 operated said five tables approxim- ately four weeks from April 1, 1933. At the date of issuance of license No. 28 for these five tables, the old Ordinance No. 61, dated January 3, 1920, was apparently in effect. There is no mention in this ordinance of any refund being permitted or not permitted. In Ordinance No. 3, pass- ed April 10, 1933, Section. 306 reads as follows: "No Refund. Section 8. Except as may be provided by law, no refund shall be allowed upon any license which is actually used for a lesser period than that prescribed in the license." According to the new Ordinance, finally adopted April 18, 1933, being designated Ordinance No. 4, the sec- tion devoted to billiard and pool halls has no mention of any refund being permitted or not permitted. Other sections of this same Ordin- ance have conditions upon which a refund cannot be granted. This request for a refund 011 the time basis of 11 -12 of the year for the non -use of said five billiard and pool tables may be in conflict with the above noted Section 306. How- ever, it would seem to the writer that Mr. Mai complied with the Or- dinance of the City of Dubuque even with knowledge that the possibility might exist that within a month he would not use these same tables. It is the writer's belief that if any legal way exists to make this partial re- fund, that it should be done. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Thompson moved that M. C. Mai be granted a refund of $22.88 on pool tables license, this be- ing a refund of 11 -12 of a year and a warrant in the sum of $22.88 be ordered drawn on the City Treasurer in favor of M. C.
