Gentlemen: On January 17th, 1926, Mrs. Wm. Aird sustained serious in- juries by falling upon an icy side- walk at the corner of West Fifth Street and Paulina Street. The re- sult of this fall was to prevent Mrs. Aird from attending to her ordinary housework duties, as well as contin- uing in her employment and required her to procure the services of physic- ians to attend to her injuries. Mrs. Aird will accept the sum of $300.00 in settlement of her claim which is approximately the amount of her ex- pense. In view of the injury and the condition of the place where it occurred I would respectfully recom- mend that this settlement be made. Some time ago Peter Kunnen ad- dressed the Council with reference to injuries sustained by his daugh- ter, Dolores Kunnen at 29th and Pin - nard Streets, on January 26th, 1926. She broke her left arm above the wrist. The facts in this case are familiar to the Council and upon your advice I have secured an agree- ment from Mr. Kunnen to settle the claim for $100.00. If these settle- ments are satisfactory to your Hon- orable Body, I recommend that the Auditor be instructed to draw war- rants in favor of Mrs. W. F. Aird in the sum of $300.00, and Peter A. Kunnen in the sum of $100.00. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Meuser moved that the recommendation of the City Soli- citor be approved and the Auditor be instructed accordingly. Second- ed by Councilman Schrempf.

Gentlemen: As you recall, some time ago, it was agreed that the case of A. L. Rhomberg et al, vs. the City of Dubuque, involving special assessments for the Eagle Point Sewer in the Eagle Point Sewer Dis- trict be decided upon the question of the actual value of the lots assessed. This was done by the City ap- pointing one appraiser, the plaintiff appointing one appraiser and the two appointing a third. These appraisers were appointed and made an examination of the various lots involved in this action. The appraisers filed their report and based upon this report a decree was entered by the District Court of Dubuque County, Iowa, making certain reductions in the assess- ments and allowing other assess- ments to remain as made by the Council. Hereto attached and made a part of this report is a copy of the de- cree which was entered by the Court. This . decree shows the re- ductions which were made and also confirms the assessments where no reductions were made. I would re- spectfully recommend that this re- port be approved and that the re- ductions in the decree be made by the City Treasurer upon the books of the County Treasurer so that the assessments will appear thereon as corrected. Kindly have a warrant drawn in favor of R. P. Marshall, Clerk of the District Court, in the sum of $100.25 to cover the City's share of Court costs in this action. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Maclay moved that the report of the City Solicitor be approved and carried out as recom- mended. Seconded by Councilman Meuser. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf and Yount. Nays —None. IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF IOWA, IN AND FOR DU- BUQUE COUNTY A. L. Rhomberg, and A. L.

Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf and Yount. Nays —None. O. A. Reynolds, Secretary of the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce, who represented the City of Du- buque at the conference with Sec- retary of War Davis at Washington, D. C., ,relative to river traffic. Mr. Reynolds made a lengthy report of what transpired at this meeting, parts of the report follow: The importance of a larger barge fleet for upper river freight handling than that now being constructed in Dubuque and Midland, Pa., was em- phasized by O. A. Reynolds, secre- tary of the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce, when he appeared before the City Council Monday afternoon to submit his report on the meeting of river shiping interests with Sec- retary of War Davis last week, at which he acted in the capacity of official representative of the city. The report which he submitted contained in brief all of the argu- ments submitted to the head of the war department, and contained in a brief which President Calvin Cool- idge now is making a subject of special study. The early experience of the gov- ernment in the operation of the Mis- sissippi- Warrior barge service on the lower Mississippi and Warrior riv- ers was cited by the middle west- ern committee as an argument in favor of their plan for the construc- tion of additional boats which will increase the size of the proposed upper river fleet to 60 barges and four tow boats. Unless a larger fleet than now contemplated is built, the committee told the secretary of war, there is danger that the first year of operations may result in an embarrassing deficit to the govern- ment. Additional equipment cannot be leased or improvised, and at least a year is necessary for the construe tion of additional equipment. For these reasons it was urged that the Secretary of War authorize the chairman and chief executive of the Inland Waterways Service, General 405 Ashburn, to borrow from the banks, $1,500,00 and with that loan, have built forty -five additional barges and one additional towboat. The com- mittee stated further that should the government not provide the addi- tional barges and towboat, that it will result in a very embarrassing deficit next year. "The committee pointed out to the Secretary of War the sections of var- ious laws that gives him the legel authority to borrow the necessary funds with which to construct the' additional equipment. "The Secretary was advised that the transportation of sugar, coffee and sisal from New Orleans to Up- per river points, together with can- ned goods and other commodities now moving up the river would fur- nish tonnage far in excess of the ca- pacity of the fleet. While the grain, mill stuffs and other commodities will furnish tonnage for transpor- tation down stream. "The Twin Cities delegation in- formed the secretary that grain for export should be shipped direct from the point where it is loaded on to the barges, to the point where it is unloaded into the ocean going vessels for export. The question of transferring grain at St. Louis or Cairo was discussed and it was stat- ed that grain shippers prefer not to have their grain transferred after it is once loaded at their point of shipment. The opinion was express- ed that should a transfer be neces- sary between point of shipment and New Orleans, that it would decrease the volume of export grain moving by the barge line. "A number of very important ex- hibits were presented to the secre- tary and I am attaching hereto cop- ies of these because they contain information that should be studied with a great deal of care by our dock commission, as these exhibits con- tain estimates as to the profit and loss from operation on the upper river. "The question of the suitability of the channel for the operation of the barge fleet on the upper river, has been raised from time to time, so the committee thought it important to advise the secretary fully regard- ing this matter. It was stated that improvements on the upper Missis- sippi river have progressed so far that there is now an unobstructed channel of not less than five feet of water at a zero stage between Min- neapolis and St. Louis. "The secretary of war seemed i much impressed and the Minnesota delegation was exceptionally opti- mistic after the meeting.

Councilman Meuser moved that the report of Mr. Reynolds be ap- proved and a vote of thanks be tend- ered to him for the efficient man - ner in which he represented the City at said conference. Seconded by Councilman Maclay. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf and Yount. Nays —None. Attorney Frank Gilloon addressed the Council in the interest of the Temple Securities Co., stating that the company had filed a petition with the Council some time ago ask- ing for cancellation of the balance of the assessment levied against lots 1 of 8 and 2 of 8 Cooley's Sub. This assessment was levied Oct. 20, 1924, for the improvement of Mont- rose Terrace, the first installment on these assessments have been paid. The Company receives no ben- efit from this street owing to its situation, and owing to the fact that the City owns adjoining property, they are willing to deed to the City the hillside parts of the lots for park purposes providing the City cancels the assessment. Councilman Maclay moved that the City accept this proposition. Seconded by Councilman Meuser. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf and Yount. Nays —None. Attorney Walter Koerner ad- dressed the Council in the interest of the owners of Parkside Dance Hall, asking permission to conduct Sunday night dances in said hall.

There being no further business, Council adjourned. JOHN STUBER, City Clerk. Approved 1926. Adopted 1926. Councilmen Attest: City Clerk. CITY COUNCIL (Official) Special Session, November 22nd, 1926. Meeting called by order of Mayor Melchior and Councilman Schrempf. Council inet at 4:30 P. M. Present — City Manager Douglas, Mayor Melchior, Councilmen Ma- clay, Meuser, Schrempf, Yount. Mayor Melchior read the call and stated that service theroef had been duly made and that this meeting is called for the purpose of levying special assessments and authorizing the issuance of bonds to pay for the improvement of West 5th Street, Ascension Street, McCormick Street, Finley Street, West 16th Street, Henion Street, and Sanitary Sewer in Prospect Street, and levying spe- cial assessment for construction of cement sidewalks in various parts of the City, and acting on any other business that comes before a reg- ular meeting of the Council. November 18th, 1926. To City Council. Subject: Garage in alley between Hill and West Third Streets. The petition of Dick Hoerner, re- questing permission to build a gar- age in the alley between Hill Street and West Third Street, west of Algona Street, has been refused. Mr. Hoerner has built his garage on his own property. Respectfully submitted, C. E. DOUGLAS, City Manager. Councilman Meuser moved that the report of the City Manager be approved. Seconded by Councilman Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf, Yount. Nays —None. November 18th, 1926. To City Council. Subject: Opening of Thomas Street. I have viewed the ground for the opening of Thomas Street from Prescott Street to High Bluff Street. 1 find that the opening of this street will pass through the lots which abut on Lincoln Avenue and that the street would primarily be of benefit to these property owners. The cost to the City for right -of -way and grad- ing would be a considerable amount and I can not see enough benefit to the City to justify the expense. Therefore, I recommend that this street be not opened. Respectfully submitted, C. E. DOUGLAS, City Manager. Councilman Meuser moved that the report of the City Manager be approved, and carried out as recom- mended. Seconded by Councilman Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf, Yount. Nays —None. November 18th, 1926. To City Council. Subject: Garage on Air Hill Street. I have inspected the location of 848 Air Hill Street where Mr. Jo- seph Ley requests a permit to build a garage in front of the lot .line. I find that there is no reason why this garage should not be built back ten feet as provided in the Building Code. I therefore recommend that there be no change from the estab- lished line. Respectfully submitted, C. E. DOUGLAS, City Manager. Councilman Meuser moved that the report of the City Manager be approved, and carried out as recom- mended. Seconded by Councilman Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council1 in en Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf, Yount. Nays —None. November 18th, 1926. To City Council. Subject: Alley between Prospect Street and Needham Place. Relative to a communication from Mr. A. L. Rhomberg, regarding the condition of the alley between Pros- pect Street and Needham Place, after the construction of the sani- tary sewer, I wish to state that the earth has been left high over this sewer in order to take care of the settlement that will occur during the winter. Owing to the location of this alley it is absolutely impossible to ruh a city roller over this alley. We had our small roller over the alley, but found that it was exceed- ingly dangerous to attempt to oper- ate a roller therefore, we ordered it off. There is an excess amount of dirt there at present, but should we take it away at this time it will be necessary to replace it in the spring. 1 therefore recommend that this dirt be allowed to remain until such a time in the spring when we will be able to level the alley. Respectfully submitted, C. E. DOUGLAS, CED /C City Manager. Councilman Meuser moved that the report of the City Manager be approved, and carried out as recom- mended. Seconded by Councilman 408 Special Session, November 22nd, 1926 Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf, Yount. Nays —None. November 18th, 1926. To City Council. Subject: Petition for light at Gar- field Avenue and Windsor Avenue. Relative to the petition of the property owners in the vicinity of Garfield Avenue and Windsor Ave- nue, asking for the installation of a street light, I have inspected the location and find that while there is no light at this corner there is a light within a block in all directions and I believe when the trees are properly trimmed this will be all that is necessary for the proper lighting of this corner. As our appropriation for street lighting is exhausted for this year, I recommend that no light be placed at this corner. Respectfully submitted, C. E. DOUGLAS, City Maneger. Councilman Meuser moved that the report of the City Manager be approved, and carried out as recom- mended. Seconded by Councilman Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: - Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf, Yount. Nays —None. Councilman Schrempf moved that the rules be suspended for the pur- pose of giving anyone present who wished to do so an opportunity to address the Council. Seconded by Councilman Yount. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf, Yount. Nays —None. Reverend A. R. McLaughlin, repre- senting the Dubuque Ministerial Association, addressed the Council protesting against Sunday dancing, stating that the church -going people in the city objected to this, and furthermore there is a State law prohibiting these dances, and hoped that the Council will act accord- ingly. Mrs. Bessie Braun addressed the Council relative to damage done to her property on account of the city street flusher running over the curb on Heeb Street and damaging the back part of her house. She claims that if the curb had been a few in- ches higher, as she requested the City Engineer to make it at the time the street was improved, this might not have happened, and she also asks that the fee she had to pay tor a permit to repair this damage be returned to her. The fee amounts to $3.00. The City Manager and Engineer will take care of this mat- ter, no motion. Petition of Mrs. Mary Vitzthum stating that she is the owner of Lot 119, Mechanics Add.; that she bought this property from Mrs. M. J. Schmitt; that there was an as- sessment, this for $27.20, levied in 189,6 which she knew nothing about, and it was sold to the City at tax sale October 9th, 1921. There is al- so a delinquent assessment against this property for the improvement of Lowell Street, levied August 17th. 1923, amounting to $22.38; the prop- erty was sold for this assessment December 1st, 1924. She offers to settle this matter and asks the Council to make a reasonable re- duction, she being a widow and has a. small income. Councilman. Meuser moved that the City Treasurer be instructed to accept $3.00 in full for the first as- sessment, and $22.38 for the second assessment, totaling $25.38, and up- on receipt of this amount to cancel the tax sale certificate. Seconded by Councilman Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Melchior, Council- men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf, Yount. Nays —None. The matter of the Canfield Hotel was again brought to the attention of the Council. Councilman Schrempf stated that the Canfields had not lived up to their agreement to have metal frames and Wire -glass windows placed in the West wall of their new addition to their hotel. Wm. Can- field, Jr., denied that they had made such an agrement. The question as to whether or not the City could under the building code force the hotel proprietors to, make the proposed changes in the windows was unanswered at the end of the council meeting. Likewise the question of whether or not the Canfields had agreed to this partic- ular specification was also unans- wered, councilmen and labor repre- sentatives declaring that such an agreement had been made, Mr. Can- field denying it, and his attorney expressing ignorance of the question and asking the Council not to take any action until he had an oppor- tunity to learn from his partner, Frank A. O'Connor, who had repre- sented the Canfields at the time of the settlement, whether or not such an agreement had been made. A report of the settlement of the Special Session, November 22nd, 1926 409 controversy at the time the Council had agreed to permit the hotel to operate while the, changes outlined by the Building Commissioner were being made stated that the opera- tors of the hotel "had agreed to make any alterations or additions that would be necessary to conform to all requirements, both local and state." It is the . contention of the hotel operators that the building code does not make this require- ment. When the question of the hotel was brought before the meeting Building Commissioner McInerny, at the request of Councilman Yount, declared that he,. had ordered the windows changed, but that the changes had not been made, the Canfields declaring that the former Building Commissioner had granted tbem permission to install the pres- ent windows. The Council then ask- ed Mr. Canfield if he had agreed to make these changes and he said that there had been .no agreement; but that he had been ordered by the City to make the changes. Attorney Smith then introduced the question as to whether or not the building code required the changes as specified. The Council went back to the question of the agreement and Building Commissioner McInerny said that he had no agreement with the Canfields regarding the changes, but that it was an understood fact that the changes would be made in accordance with his specifications. City Clerk John Stuber was dis- patched to look through his files for a copy of the report made to the Council by City Solicitor Czizek and Building Commissioner McInerny in July when the changes were ordered made to determine whether or not this report included anything of the legality of the changes was again taken up with Mr. Smith declaring again that the City had no legal right to order the windows changed. It was during the discussion that followed that Councilman Schrempf declared that the "Canfields agreed they would do these things and whether it is lawful or unlawful they should carry it through." After some further discussion as to the legal right of the City to make the hotel company change the win- dows, which resulted with no deci- sion as to whether or not it was legal, the report of the settlement was brought into the meeting by the Clerk and read by the City Solicitor. During the discussion that fol- lowed John T. Quinn, East Dubuque, representative of the Trades and Labor Congress, took part. lJp until this point J. C. Lewis, president of the State Federation of Labor, who had been sitting with Mr. Quinn among the spectators, had not joined the discussion. Mayor Melchior asked the Federation Pres- ident if he cared to make any re- marks. After charging that the hotel had been operated in violation of the law the State Federation, President made the charge that influences were be- ing brought to bear on the Governor and Attorney General of the State to prevent them from enforcing the law in Dubuque. At the conclusion of his remarks the State Federation President, in reply to , questions from Attorney Smith, agreed that under the state housing law that the question as to whether or not the hotel should be operated rested with the local build- ing commissioner. When the attor- ney then asked Mr. Lewis if it was not true that under the building code the Building Commissioner had the same authority, the State Federation President ignored the question and declared that the city and state had been deceived by the hotel company Mr. Smith interrupted to bring back the question of the building commis- sioner's authority, but the Federa- tion president continued and again made the charge that the hotel is being operated in violation of law. For a time, at this point, the dis- cussion became heated, with Mr. Quinn giving a review of the entire controversy and Mr. Smith declaring that the hotel company had tried to go by the law, had submitted plans for approval and that 110 one had been hurt but Mr. Quinn. The general discussion was finally brought to an end when Councilman Schrempf made the motion that the Building Commissioner be instruct- ed to enforce the specifications re- garding the windows. It was at this point that Councilman Meuser ques- tioned the regularity of the motion because of the Council having taken a similar action and because of the Building Commissioner having re- ported that he had repeatedly or- dered the windows changed, but that they still remained unchanged. Councilman Yount had seconded Mr. Schrempf's motion and after Coun- cilman Maclay had declared that if the Building Commissioner found himself unable to have the changes made that he should seek the advice of the City Solicitor as to his next move, the Council passed the Schrempf motion. Councilman Schrempf moved that the Building Inspector see to it that the proprietors of the Canfield Hotel 1 410 Adjourned Session, November 23rd, 1926 411 pense at 4.58876 per cent, $8.88; interest at 6 per cent, $1.68; total 204.05 Rosa Hansdorf and Elsa Hust, Corriella Dubuque, pt. of Lot 6; concrete paving, curb and gutter cost, $193.49; extra expense at 4.58876 per cent, $8.86; in- terest at 6 per cent, $1.68; total 204.05 Rosa Hansdorf and Elsa Hust, Corriella Dubuque, pt. of Lot 7, concrete paving, curb and gutter cost, $193.49; ex- tra expense at 4.58876 per cent, $8.88; interest at 6 per cent, $1.68; total 204.05 J.
