Annual receipts for metered water and other flat and fire service during the last six years are as follows: Year 1926 -27 1927 -28 1928 -29 1929 -30 1930 -31 *1931 -32 Metered Service $146.528.01 142,005.95 148,411.64 3.53,810.51 153,422.28 153,000.00* RECEIPTS Other Misc.

These amounts were book transfers only and were offset each year by a counter charge to the Water Department for interest on purchase bonds, credited to consolidated fund. No actual transfer, of cash resulted during either year of 1926 -27 and 1927 -28. The reduction of ten (10 %) per cent on metered sales of water will amount to approximately $15,300 per year. The sinking fund for bond re- demption is now in such shape that at least $8,400 less each year can be deducted from the present annual schedule of $32,400, applied from depart- ment earnings toward the sinking fund. The balance, or $6,900, can be de- ducted from betterments and operation of the Water Works Department. The present rate and the recommended rate of a rduction of 10 %, throughout, for metered water consumption are as follows:— 1 38 Regular Session on final reading this 7th day of March, 1932. W. H.

Gentlemen: The attached recom- mendation to City Council in con- nection with a suggested ten (10 %) per cent cut in the rates for the sale of metered water is in line with studies of the Water Works finan- cial ability started in February, 1931. You are aware that a five (5 %) per cent reduction was discussed with City Council during the budget prep- aration last year. However, it was determined not wise to make a re- duction in 1931, but authority was granted for the Water Department to provide all new service meters and to maintain all ordinary service meters. At this time, in view of the fact that the Water Department has fin- ished a number of required line ex- tensions with not many other exten- sions now necessary to construct . and that materials, supplies and per- sonnel costs are, or are anticipated to be, lower and together with the fact that the Sinking Fund yearly payments can now be materially re- duced, it is the writer's opinion that 40 Regular Session, March 7th, 1932 1st 1,000 Next 1,000 Next 1,000 Next 7,0 Next 5,000 Next 10,000 Next 25,000 Next 50,000 Next 100,000 Over 200,000 QUARTERLY RATES FOR % INCH METERS Present Rate Proposed Rate Amounts of Water in Cu.

M. EVANS, City Manager. Resolution No. 13 -32. On February 28, 1932, Almighty God, in His wisdom, called to his eternal reward, James Saul, former Mayor of the City of Dubuque. His demise, while not altogether unex- pected, was a distinct shock to the citizenry of this city and of Dubuque County. He was held in the highest esteem by all. His friends, 'of which there were legion, share the grief of his passing with his bereaved fam- ily. The City of Dubuque and Du- buque County have lost a truly great man, a man of great personal charm, a man of beautiful character, a man of unquestioned honesty and integ- rity, a public spirited man, one whose life's ambition was service to his community and the well being of all. Although death has claimed him, his worth has been all the more in- tensified and his memory will con- tinue to live on and on. James Saul entered upon his pub- lic career in 1908 when he was elect- ed Alderman of the First Ward. He continued in that capacity until 1914 at which time he was elected Mayor of this City. He was re- elected to this position in 1916 and 1918 and retired to private life in 1920, when the City of Dubuque adopted the Manager plan of government. In 1930 he was elected Supervisor of Du- buque County and held that office until his death. As a public official and as the chief executive of this City, his integrity was always the most pure, his honesty the most in- flexible. No. motives of personal in -' terest ever influenced his conduct. The public welfare was always up- permost in his mind. The Council of the City of Du- buque, fully appreciative of the value of James Saul as a citizen and public servant and in order to perpetuate his memory, Resolved, That this Resolution and Testimonial be spread upon the per- manent records of this Body and that a copy thereof be transmitted by the Clerk to his family. Passed, adopted and approved this 7th day of March, 1932. W. H. MEUSER, Mayor. ED. McEVOY, GEO. O. .TANSEN, H. F. SCHUCKERT, M. B. ANDELFINGER, Councilmen. Attest: .T. J. SHEA, City Clerk. Councilman Andelfinger moved the adoption of the resolution. Seconded by Councilman Sohuckert. Carried by the following vote: Yeas -Mayor Meuser, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jansen, McEvoy, and Sohuckert. Nays -None. Regular Session, March 7th, 1932 41 To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: In accordance with the provisions of law, as Manager, I have prepared an Annual Budget for the fiscal year, 1932, based upon estimates of ex- penses of the various departments of the City of Dubuque.

I am submitting this budget to you for your tentative approval and the 'same will be published as required by law in order that objections thereto may be made before final action is taken theron by you.

Te the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Since the recommen- dation of the Superintendent of Water and the Manager to Council proposing a 10c lower rate for the sales of metered city water, please be advised that a further study has been made of the minimum consump- tion. We find that there are approx- imately 3000 yearly accounts under 800 cu. ft. per quarter and 700 year- ly accounts between 800 cu. ft. and 900 cu. ft. per quarter. Inasmuch as there are 9000 total accounts, it would seem that possibly a slightly better rate should be afforded to the customers using a very small quan- tity of water each quarter. It is hereby recommended that the proposed minimum from 100 cu. ft. to 800 cu. ft. per quarter be further reduced from the originally proposed $2.00 charge to $1.90 charge. This gives a new total difference between the former minimum charge of $2.25 and the proposed minimum of $1.90 of 35c or 15.5 %. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schuckert moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved. Seconded by Councilman McEvoy.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the Council meet- ing of February 4th the petition of Mr. Frank W. Thompson of 1645 South Grandview Avenue was re- ceived. Mr. Thompson requested that Council investigate the sewer trouble that had been caused in this connection from the main sewer to his curbing and asked that he be reimbursed for the cost of correcting same. Mr. Thompson further advised Council of the condition of his lat- eral which had parted near the Y. Accordingly, Mr. McCarten, the plumber, Mr. Cullen, the City En- gineer, and the writer had a confer- ence today and it was explained by the plumber, who did the actual work, that through faulty construc- tion or settlement of the earth un- derneath the sewer that the first joint toward the house from the eighth bend next to the Y had part- ed from the eighth band in such a way that the sewer lateral was blocked. Further, the three joints near the curb had settled so that the sewage from the house had to run uphill to get in the main sewer, and in order to complete this job in a workmanship like manner, the en- tire lateral from the curb to the main had to be replaced. It is Mr. Thompson's belief that the City is responsible for this con- dition of his lateral and he asks the City to assume the entire cost of excavating and replacing of the for- mer sewer lateral. The cost, esti- mated by Mr. McCarten, the plumb- er, is as follows: - 20 feet of sewer ditch, includ- ing partial tunnelling, dig- ging and backfilling at $1.55 per ft. $31.00 20 ft. of 4 inch tile sewer at 20c per ft. 4.00 Labor laying the tile sewer 3.50 Total $33.50 Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman McEvoy moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and that a warrant in the sum of $38.50 be or- dered drawn on the City Treasurer in favor of Frank Tompson to cover the amount of the claim.
