Gentlemen: This is to advise that considerable damage has been done to the north end of the City of Dubuque during the storms on March 30th and July 1st in the particular area from 30th Street to 22nd Street and Jackson Street to Pinard Street due to the fact that the drainage conditions north of the north city line are very inadequate and present a factor that may produce a great deal of damage to our City if pro- July 10th, 1933 153 per precautions are not immediately taken. It is estimated that the total cost to the City of Dubuque for cleaning of mud and debris after these two storms in the above men- tioned area is approximately $3,500. The cause of this new source of trouble is the fact that the drain- age ditch from a point near the Brunswick leading northeastwardly to the Little Maquoketa River, near the mouth of the same, has become blocked at three definite places and at many other places deepening should be provided. Colonel Edgerton, United States Engineer at Rock Island, has been advised of this trouble. He has vis- ited Dubuque, examined personally the conditions of the drainage ditch from the Brunswick to the Maquo- keta River and also viewed the re- puted stoppage at the mouth of the Little Maquoketa River. At our suggegstion, the United States Army Engineers have taken soundings at the mouth of the Little Maquoketa River and have determined that there is a sand bar forming at this location. They have made a rather indefinite promise to clean out this bar at some future time when their equipment is in this vicinity. We have informally suggested to the Supervisors of Dubuque County that R. F. C. labor be employed to remove the stoppage on the drainage area northwardly from the City. To date nothing has been accomplished. We are advised that the Maquo- keat River is very crooked and is rapidly filling its bed to such an extent that a possibility in the very near future may exist that at flood times water will flow southwardly from the Little Maquoketa River to- ward Dubuque rather than emptying into the mouth of the Mississippi River. This matter, together with the inadequate drainage northwardly from the Brunswick Plant to the Maquoketa River had also been called to the attention of Mr. Mc- Donald of Ames College, Ames, Iowa. This man was appointed by the President and is in charge of the Iowa Reforestation and Soil Erosion work. Thus far his prom- ise that he would come and examine this condition has not been. fulfilled. It is suggested that every possible effort be started by the City Coun- cil toward getting relief from this entire trouble that is beyond the city limits through suggestions to the Supervisors, the United States Army Engineers and the department handling the straightening of streams designated the Reforestation and Soil Erosion group. If this con- dition is allowed to continue, heavy e i 1 —1 1 1 1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL (Official.) Special Session, July 24th, 1933. Council met at 7:40 P. M.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the Council meet- ing of July 10th a request from Mr. H. W. Bartholomew to operate a skating rink at 76 Main Street was read to City Council, discussed, and denied. At the special meeting held by City Council July 18th this ques- tion was again reviewed and it was agreed among the four Councilmen present that in case satisfactory toilet facilities for both ladies and men would be provided by the own- er, City Council would remove their objection to the original application. Mr. Bartholomew is an ex- service man and desires to take advantage of the American Legion Convention and has asked that a permit be granted to him to conduct this skat- ing rink. According to Ordinance No. 4, dat- ed 1933, a permit can be granted through the City Manager's office for a skating rink at the rate of $2.00 per day, $10.00 per week, $50.00 per year. Mr. Bartholomew has today agreed to erect satisfactory toilet facilities. Accordingly, I have in- structed Mr. Sigman to issue a li- cense for this skating rink. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Thompson moved that the communication of City Manager Evans be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman McEvoy.

To the Honorable Mayor and City council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At a special meeting of City Council held Tuesday after- noon, July 18th, the request of Mr. Barber, architect for the Federal Post Office Building on Sixth be- tween Locust and Bluff Streets, re- questing that the widening on the south side of Sixth Street, between Locust and Bluff, be reduced from 4 feet 5 inches to 4 feet was con- sidered. The original agreement between the Federal authorities and the City Council was that Sixth Street would be widened 5 feet on the south side between Bluff Street and Locust Street. Due to the roots of certain trees, it was previously determined by Council that a space of 4 feet 6 inches should be widened and the cost borne by the City on the con- dition that the contractor for the Federal Post Office would construct, at his expense, a new curb. At this time, upon the excavation for this new curb, it is found that roots of trees are still being affected by this 4 foot 6 inch widening pro- cedure and accordingly the request of today for reduction to 4 feet was made verbally by Mr. Barber. After consideration of the ques- tion, Council approved of the second change in the widening of this street to a new width of 4 feet. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman McEvoy moved that the decision of the City Council be made a matter of record. Sec- onded by Councilman Schuckert.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In connection with the parking question for cars that will be in Dubuque for about four days in the second week of August, this is to advise that the Chief of Police and the writer met with a committee from the American Le- gion, consisting of W. T. Donahue and L. J. Grabow, and viewed cer- tain sites and have the following suggestions to offer in order to se- cure full authority for the Legion to conduct a properly guarded parking area for the full day and night period. The Legion committee have in mind and have already secured the following private property: 1. The lot on the east side of Main Street between. Mulgrew's and and the International Harvester Company. 2. The Molo dump on the west side of Main Street south of Dodge Street. 3. The Hurd -Most Sash and Door Co. lots on the north side of Dodge Street between Main and Locust Streets. 4. The Cooper lot at 3rd and Lo- cust Streets. 5. The Rider- Wallis property at 4th and Locust Streets. 6. The A. Y. McDonald lots on the north side of East 12th Street. 7. The Ott property on Southern Avenue and Valley Street. In addition to these private stor- age tracts, in case of emergency, the Legion Committee request that auth- ority be given to park cars for a twenty -four hour period, day and night, on the following streets: 1. Jones Street from the Illinois Central tracks to Terminal Street. Parallel parking on one side, angular parking on the oth- er side. 2. Along Terminal Street from the ice harbor south as far as pos- sible, with provisions for no blocking of the entrance to the river terminal. 3. South Main Street from a point south of the Witwer Grocery Company southwardly to Railroad Street, with angular parking on the west side and parallel park- ing on the east side and the use of the sidewalk space where pos- s`ble on the west side of said street for parallel parking. This sidewalk space has no used side- walk at present and will not in- terfere with any pedestrian traf- fic. Of course where private in- dustries exist, no blocking will Session, July 31st, 1933 169 be allowed. Parking of cars will not be permitted near the Stan- dard Oil Company or Inter- national Harvester Company on the east side of this section. 4. Railroad Street from Main Street to South Locust Street, angular parking on one side, parallel on the other, with use of the side- walk space on the south side of the street, where possible for parallel parking, with provisions for no parking at one or two of the used buildings on this space. 5. Southern Avenue from South Lo- cust Street southwestwardly to the first angle at the catch basin locations, parallel parking on both sides, with provisions for no parking at the Milk Depot, or in front of three homes. 6. South Locust Street from Rail- road Street northwardly to house No. 74 south of the Seippel Lum- ber Company's storage plant. Parking parallel to curb only on the east side. The intention of the Legion Com- mittee is to keep the parking in the south end of town if possible, us- ing the McDonald lots and 12th Street fill only in case of emergency. As is understood by the Legion Committee when Council granted the use of the Ball Park on 4th Street, the same grant included the use of all City owned property on 4th Street east of the railroad tracks. It is the intention of the parking committee of the Legion not to use this location for the dead parking space that may be needed for the four days continuously, but rather to use the 4th Street Ball Park parking sites for the use of pa- trons coming to the various events to be conducted in the mornings, after- noons and evenings at the Ball Park by the Legion. Other space that may have to be used for individual Le- gion affairs at the 4th Street Ball Park may include available parking spaces at Fisher's, Conlin & Kearns, and The Adams Company. If possible, the parking will be confined to private properties, but in case of an excess of 1,500 cars, it may be necessary to use the streets with personal inspection thereon during day and night. Due to the fact that parking is prohib- ited on streets at ordinary times for day and night, this report is written to you for your consideration and, if possible, your approval. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schuckert moved that the recommendation of City Manager Evans be approved.
