To the Honorable Mayor and City Council: Gentlement: Your petitioners would respectfully call your atten- tion to the fact that the voters at an election held June 7th, 1926, fav- orably voted to pave the primary roads of the County and also favor- ably voted for a Bond Issue to sup- ply the necessary funds to cover the cost thereof. Inasmuch as the Board of Supervisors of Dubuque County have expressed their determination to pave immediately the Key West road, to the City limits, it forcibly brings forth the fact that the portion of the Rockdale road connecting with South. Locust Street should be in- cluded in the same project. As experienced previously on this pro- ject, when grading, draining and rough surfacing, the economical method proved that the entire con- tract should be let in conjunction with the County as contractors would bid less on the larger work. This organization would therefore respectfully request that your Hon- orable Body take such immediate ac- tion as you deem best. Respectfully submitted, L. H. BREDE, Chairman Finance Com. KENDALL BURCH, • Member Executive Coni. • Councilman Schrempf moved that the communication be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Maclay.

Subject: Fire Equipment. We received bids sometime ago on fire equipment and at that time I recommended the purchase of two pieces of equipment from the Ameri- can La France Fire Engine Com- pany. The bids on the same type of equipment from the American La France and the Ahrens Fox Co., were within $20.00 of each other, the Ahrens Fox being $20.00 higher. Since that time I have been look- ing into the maintenance of the equipmnet that we have in service furnished by both companies. I find that the American La France equip- ment for some reason, is costing us more to maintain. In addition to this the Ahrens Fox Co., has bid on their latest improved automobile tractor drawn service ladder truck. The advantage that this truck has over the other service ladder trucks is that it has six wheels and has a steering apparatus known as the Tiller in connection with the rear wheels. This makes the machine much more flexible and will be much more serviceable on our hills and crooked streets. The cost of the piece of apparatus is $1450.00 more than the four wheel service ladder truck. Since the bids have been received Chief Fisher and the Mayor have had the privilege of seeing one of these new trucks. The Chief has gone over it in detail and is of the opin- ion that this truck would give us much more service than the other ladder truck of either make and would be a piece of equipment that would last the city many year longer than the four wheel type and would do better work for us. We have the same proposition from both companies for terms and interest on deferred payment so that 158 Special Session, June 10th, 1926 the only difference in the original recommendation to the council and this recommendation is that we will get a larger and better service lad- der truck with chemical attachments than was proposed heretofore. After going over all details thor- oughly with Chief Fisher I am con- vinced from his experience that the Ahrens Fox pumper and the tractor drawn ladder truck will be the best and most economical purchase for the city to make. The attached proposal shows a cut of the trailer on Form 757 and a cut of the ladder and chemical equip- ment on Form 758. I therefore recommend the pur- chase of this equipment from the Ahrens Fox Co., in place of my prev- ious recommendation. Respectfully submitted, C. E. DOUGLAS, City Manager. Councilman Schrempf moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved, and a contract be entered into with the Ahrens Fox Company for fire pumper and tractor drawn ladder truck, and all former action on this matter be rescinded. Seconded by Councilman Meuser. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, and Schrempf. Nays —None. Absent — Councilman Yount.

Petition of Sarah Wiehl owner of lot 1 of Sub. of lot 10 of Sub. of lots 138, 140, 142, L. H. Langworthy's Add., stating that she was assessed $196.88 for construction of sanitary sewer in Foye Street Nov. 2nd, 1925, claiming that this is a hillside lot of very little value. She offers to pay $25.00 in full for this assessment. Referred to the Council at a former meeting. The Council upon viewing same, decided that Sarah Wiehl be notified to pay $50.00 for this assessment, and if satisfactory the Treasurer be notified to accept same and cancel the assessment on his books. Councilman Maclay moved that the assessment be reduced to $50.00 and Mrs. Wiehl be so notified and the Auditor be instructed to draw a war- rant on the general fund for the dif- ference to make up the shortage.

Petition of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan Dubuque, Ia., June 24, 1926. The Honorable City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On August 28, the Dubuque Coun- ty Klan No. 20 will hold their' an- nual Klonklave on their field just north of Dubuque. At that tune we expect to have a great number of visitors in our city again, the same as last year, and it is our desire to hold a parade in' conjunction with this event. Accordingly, we petition the Coun- cil to grant us a permit to parade on Aug. 28th, said parade to beld at a late afternoon or early even- ing hour. This parade will comprise mostly Dubuque people, but, of course, visiting Klan folks will also participate in this parade. We feel that we are entitled to this consideration, and trust you will see fit to grant us our prayer and render us a permit to parade on that date. We might add that a great num- ber of people will come to the city to view this spectacle again, and it will mean quite a bit for the busi- ness men on Main Street • and the downtown sections of the city to have such a parade, inasmuch as it will bring the folks down there and they will naturally trade when they are in the business section. If you refuse us the permit, natur- ally everyone will stay on the grounds, the same as last year, thus working against the interest of business in this city. We might also refer to the order- ly way in which the crowds were handled last year. Your police offic- ers will testify to this and tell you that there never was a more orderly crowd than that on the Klan field, and that everything was taken care of without any confusion whatso- ever. To our knowledge, there were no additional arrests made that day in spite of the thousands of people in Dubuque for the Klonklave. Our Special Session, June 25th, 1926 197 previous record speaks for itself, hence trust that we may be granted this permit. • So far this year to our knowledge and recollection, no city in the state has refused a permit to the Klan to parade. The city of Des Moines gave the Klan a permit to parade this year, and the state also permitted them to form their parade on the capitol grounds. This parade will not be a mask af- fair; all visors will be raised as is customary in all Klan parades which have been held. Trusting we may have the pleas- ure of receiving this permit, we re- main Sincerely yours, KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN, DUBUQUE COUNTY KLAN NO. 20,_REALM OF IOWA. Per Committee.

Gentlemen: On September 4th, 1923, a permit was issued to J. J. Grode, 662 Lincoln Ave., for tear- ing down a barn and building a gar- age. As I understand it, this was a short time before our building code went into effect and all per- mits that were issued before that time were to be void unless work had been started. This work was not started and Mr. Grode now wish- es to do the work under the old permit. I do not feel that I can give him authority to _go ahead without the sanction of the Council.
