Resolution No. 41 -32
The City Council of Dubuque, as-
sembled in regular session, hereby
records its earnest approval of that
provision of the Garner bill author-
izing a federal bond issue to com-
plete within five years the internal
waterway projects already author-
ized by Congress. We regard the
bond method of financing the enter-
prise as necessary to the construc-
tion of a nine -foot channel in the
upper Mississippi River at fair cost
and within reasonable time. We fur-
ther look upon this project as'the
best prospect in sight for the return
of prosperity to the Upper Missis-
sippi Valley and its idle working men -
We moreover regard the completion
of the proposed work as a necessary
means of restoring the industries of

Resolution No. 42 -32.
Anthony Schuckert, beloved son of
Councilman H. F. Schuckert, met a
tragic death on May 25, 1932. The
entire community was shocked be-
yond expression. Although only a
young man he had won numberless
friends on account of his pleasing
personality and sterling character.
It is only fitting that this Council
should extend its sympathy to the
parent who has suffered so great a
loss and assure him that the senti-
ment herein contained falls far short
of expressing the genuine sorrow
which each member of this body has
in his heart for him and his family.
Be It Therefore, Resolved, that the
expression of sympathy, as repre-
sented by this Resolution, be spread
upon the p6rmanent records of this
Council and a copy thereof be sent
by the City Clerk to the bereaved
parent and his sorrowing family.
Passed, adopted and approved this
1st day of June, 1932.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Due to defective drain-
age above the viaduct on West 8th
Street west of the intersection of
Hill Street, it seems imperative that
certain repairs shall be made to a
wing wall on the south side of the
tunnel which exists under the via-
duct about 400 feet west of Hill
Street.
It is also our intention to smooth
and oil, as a means of preventing
further wash, the roadway from the
lower end of the viaduct to Air Hill
Street. To prevent accidents after
this street has been made passable,
we intend to erect a large sign at
the tap of the hill warning all traffic
to use Air Hill Street rather than
descending the steep grade.
We trust these arrangements will
meet with the Council's approval.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The petition of Mr. and Mrs. S.
C. Dovi dated May 31st, together
with a sketch showing the request
as submitted to Council June 6th
for a sanitary sewer 235 feet long
extending from the intersection of
Rowan Street on Route 61 in a west-
wardly direction along Route 61,
said sewer to be built at City cost,
was viewed by Council June 18th.
It was determined that this sew-
er should not be built at City cost
as in the past sanitary sewers had
been assessed to abutting property.
It was further determined that until
additional street layouts were pro-
vided for this rather large tract on
Mineral Lot 35, that a temporary
150 Special Session, June 20th, 1932
cess pool would probably be cheap-
er to the applicants.

Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
This is to confirm your decision
made upon the ground June 18th
that after viewing the damage done
by recent storms, that City Council
has authorized the repairing and oil-
ing of the following streets or por-
tions of streets: —
Hempstead Street north of Lo-
well Street toward Kaufmann Ave-
nue to the beginning of the present
concrete paving.
Lowell Street from the west end
of the present asphalt to Woodworth
Street.
The additional intersections on
Stafford Street not as yet oiled.
28th Street from Central Avenue
to Davenport Street.
Lincoln Avenue from the end of
the present asphalt paving to Roose-
velt Street.
The lower portion of Hale Street
starting about 400 feet west of
Grandview Avenue westwardly to
the catch basins at the bottom of
the hill.
East 29th Street from near the
angle about 400 feet east of Pine
Street westwardly to the intersec-
tion of Pine Street.
The Council were advised of the 5-
foot stage of water which flooded
the Page Hotel during the heavy
rain Friday night. The Engineering
Department and the Street Depart-
ment were instructed to prepare
plans and immediately install addi-
tional inlets on White and Fifth
Streets sufficient to prevent a sim-
ilar occurrence.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The attached peti-
tion presented to Council by Mr.
John V. White in March suggesting
that Garfield Avenue be graded and
opened from Marshall Street to
Eagle Point was viewed by the City
Council June 18th.
Due to the fact that excessive cuts
and fills would be required on cer-
tain portions of this street which
could be done only by steam shovel
work, thus providing little source of
relief hand work, and due to the
fact that north of Stanton Street
said Garfield Avenue would require
a viaduct across the railroad tracks,
the decision of City Council was
that Garfield Avenue should not be
graded at this time.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Thompson moves°' that
the report be made a matter of rec-
ord. Seconded by Councilman Kane.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On May 16th the at-
tached petition was presented to
City Council signed by C. H. Agard,
together with other taxpayers and
property owners of the City of Du-
buque,' praying that the Welbes
Field lying west of the City Limits,
north of Pennsylvania Avenue ex-
tended, and in a general way west
of Cherry Street and Green Street,
be purchased for a City playground.
This ground was viewed by City
Council June 18th.
Council was given information
concerning this tract of land, which
includes 11.6 acres, together with the
proposition made by Mr. Welbes to
the City Manager in which the pres-
ent owner agreed to sell to the City
the entire 11.6 acres for $7,000 cash,
making the per acre cost $600.00, or
Mr. Welbes agreed to take $2,000 as
a down payment with the balance
deferred for two years at 6% in-
terest.
The Council, after consideration,
determined that inasmuch as the
tract was outside the City and that
no money had been provided in this
year's budget for such a purchase
and that the per acre price was ex-
cessive, in their belief, that no pro-
position could be considered at this
time.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

June 27, 1932.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: We attach the peti-
tion dated June 13th from Mrs. Ame-
lia Curtis which was presented to
Council June 20th. in regard to her
desire that certain sidewalks order-
ed in on Avoca Street in front of
properties owned by herself be elim-
inated or at least delayed for the
time being. The requst was referred
to the City Manager for investiga-
tion.
I attach herewith a sketch for
your information showing the loca-
tion of the Curtis property in rela-
tion to other lots on Avoca Street
and also indicating the present side-
walks installed.
In accordance with the informa-
tion contained in Mrs. Curtis' letter,
upon investigation it is found that
a bad fill exists on Lots, 320 and 321.
The sidewalk space is irregular in
front of these lots and will have to
be filled in some places and cut in
other places. The fill along the prop-
erty line of Lots 320 and 321 indi-
cates a slippage towards the rear of
the lots. This fact is further borne
by the conditions of the gutter
which has sunken possibly 6 to 8
inches in front of this property. It is
the writer's suggestion that prior to
the construction of sidewalks, in
• front of Lots 320 and 321 on Avoca
Street, that the gutter should be
raised to its proper height; that the
sidewalk should be properly graded
and sufficient time should elapse
prior to the construction to deter-
mine that the fill will not further
settle along this sidewalk space.
In regard to Mrs. Curtis' conten-
tion regarding Lots 328 and 329, we
find that a frontage of approximate-
ly 160 feet exists on this property
facing Avoca Street. The lot front-
age is of such very narrow depth,
averaging from 10 to 72 feet, that it
would seem almost impossible for
the. property to stand a sidewalk as-
sessment. If her deal can be con-
summated whereby she acquires the
vacation of an alley immediately
west of Avoca Street from Cherry
Street to the south line of Lot 329
and can buy a portion of or all of
Lot 165 abutting said alley and
fronting on Cherry Street, this prop-
erty would then have a depth of ap-
proximately 100 feet.
It is suggested that an extension
until October 1st be given Mrs. Cur-
tis for this construction.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

the traveling public would be great-

investigation of the paving proce-

that the proper legislation should
be promptly enacted.

June 27, 1932.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
. Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is the pro-
test filed by Miss J. E. Kemler of
850 Bluff Street dated June 13th, pre-
sented to City Council June 20th and
referred to the City Manager for in-
vestigation. The protest advised that
the City had repaired a sidewalk in
front of the house and vacant prop-
erty at 1520 West Third Street,
owned by Miss Kemler, without suf-
ficient notice to the owner to repair
the same through her own concrete
contractor.
This is to advise that we have
investigated the case and find that
notice was served personally by Mr.
Sullivan of the City Engineer's force
on April 21st to Miss Kemler. The
walk was allowed to remain the 15
days in which notice called for re-
pairs to be made and another 27
days or in all 42 days from original
service until the time the City actu-
ally made these repairs. To the best
of our knowledge, Miss Kemler nev-
er advised the City Engineer in writ-
ing or by phone that she would have
the work done by her contractor. It
seems that Mr. Ed. Carney, a tenant
of hers, was to have done this work,
but insufficient advice was given us
prior to the time our City forces
actually did this work for us to
know that he was contemplating
making the repairs.
The original notice called for cer-
tain repairs at raised slabs and the
actual work performed by the City
includes six new slabs 4 x 4 feet each
and one new slab 4 x 2 feet, the total
cost for this work which will be bill-
ed to Miss Kemler is $6.80.
Miss Kemler was advised today
by the writer of the actual condi-
tions in regard to this protest. After
this investigation, it is the writer's
belief that no reason exists why
Miss Kemler should not be billed for
this work. •
The day that this work was per-
formed on West Third Street by
Miss Kemler, by accident the City
Engineer ran onto the fact that Mr.
Ed. Carney was to do certain work
on Glen Oak Street in front of prop-
erty owned by Miss Kemler. Our
sidewalk repair crew was ready to
move to en Oak Gl O 1 Street walks when
ney intended doing this work and
the result was that the City crew
was stopped and Mr. Carney imme-
diately put in the Glen Oak Street
walk.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the report of the City Manager be

E. Kemler be received and filed.
