City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: I have been endeavor- ing for considerable time to work out a definite proposition in con- nection with the satisfactory turn- around at the end of the improve- ment of Grandview Avenue next to the Mother House. I have a proposition finally which will provide a very satisfactory place to turn around and at a com- paratively reasonable cost. Our res- olution provides for the improve- ment to the east line of Quinlivan's Sub. This line crosses Grandview Avenue in a diagonal manner. Our turn - around starts just before we reach this line of the west side of Grandview Avenue, going through the property belonging to the Sis- ters of Charity, coming back on the east side of Grandview Avenue and taking a little ground from property belonging to George Beach, inas- much as the outside of our roadway is ten feet east of the east line of Grandview Ave. If the street was improved with- out a turn and just to the subdivis- ion line the estimated assessment against the Sisters of Charity would be $608.00. I have finally received permission to use as much of their ground as necessary to construct this turnaround, provided the City bears one -half of what the cost of the improvement would be without the turn- around and provided they are not assessed for any part of the extra cost on account of the turn- around. This means that their as- sessment will be in the neighbor- hood of $300.00 instead of $600.00. This improvement is of great benefit to the Sisters of Charity. The loop itself is of material ad- vantage to them because it encour- ages the stranger to turn at this point instead of going in on their ground. I think the improvement is well worth much more to them than 180 Special Session, the suggested compromise. On the other hand, they were assessed last year for the full share of the Sem- inary and West Locust Street im- provements and the year before they were assesed for a large part of the triangle at the intersection of West Locust and Seminary Street. In the last two years they have had to pay assessments amounting to in the neighborhood of $25,000.00 for which they have not had any reduc- tion. In view of all these circum- stances, •I would recommend that their proposal be accepted and that one -half of what their assessment would be without the turn - around, be borne by the city in considera- tion of their giving the land nec- essary for the turn. On the west side of the street, the city will require for this turn- around, some property belonging to George Beach. Without entering in- to the value of the property taken, Mr. Beach has consented to permit the use of his property from street purposes in consideration of the fact that the assessment line of his property will stop at the short axis of the ellipse which forms the cen- ter of our turn. I would recommend that the Council approve this ar- rangement and that the same be made a matter of record in the Coun- cil Proceedings. Res -ec fully sumbitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Melchior moved that the arrangements made by the City Manager be approved and made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Schremf, Carried by the following vote.

Genlemen: At the meeting of the Council the latter part of April, the petition of property owners along the alley between Glenn Oak and Mt. Pleasant Streets, south of West 14th Street, asking that this alley be improved, using the material taken from 14th Street for this pur- pose, was refrred to the City Man- ager for investigation and report. I beg to advise that the grading of West 14th had been completed and the materials disposed of be- fore the petition was received. I would recommend grading this alley whenever the property owners are ready to have the same improved. I think it would be a wast of time May 15th, 1925 and money to grade the alley until a permanent improvement is desired by the property owners. Respectfully sumbitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.

Gentlemen: At the meeting or the Council the latter part of April, the petition of residents along Goethe Street, asking that a per manent sidewalk be laid on this street, was referred to the City Man. ager for investigation and report. My recommendation would be that a four foot sidewalk be laid on both sides of Gothe Street where walks are not now in place from Sheriden Street and Burden Avenue. The first step in this work would be to serve notice on the owners of abutting property to construct the walks. Later, if they fail to con- struct the walks the city will be in Position to enter into a contract for the work. Respectfully sumbitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.

Gentlemen: I beg to advise that the improvement of Foye Street from West Locust Street to Merchants Lane, by paving the same with sheet asphalt, Central Engineering Com- pany,. contractors, has been com- pleted. I therefore recommend the acceptance of this work. The En- gineer's estimate carried 65 cubic yards of rock. The actual quantity used was 177 cubic yards. This ex- cess was due to the fact that at the intersection of Merchants Lane and Foye Street there was no macadam suitable for the asphalt top. The section had to be excavated and con- siderable new macadam had to be placed before the top could be laid satisfactorily. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. A RESOLUTION. Whereas, the contract for the im- provement of Foye Street from West Locust Street to Merchants Lane, by paving said street with sheet as- phalt, has been completed and the City Manager has examined the work and filed his certificate stat- ing the same has been completed ac- cording to the terms and stipula- tions of the contract and recom- mends its acceptance, now therefor Be it resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque, that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and said improve- ment be and the same is hereby ac- cepted and the City Engineer be and he is hereby instructed to pre- pare a plat and schedule showing the lots or parcels of real estate subject to assessment for said improvement and file the same in the office of the City Clerk subject to public in- spection and the City Clerk shall, upon receipt of such plat and sched- ule, publish the notice of said as- sessments. as required by law, Be it further resolved that _ the City Treasurer be and he is hereby directed to pay to the contractor from the funds realized from the sale of improvement bonds issued upon the above described improve- ment an amount equal to the amount of his contract, less any retained percentage provided for therein.

Gentlemen: I beg to advise that the improvement of Frances Street from Kaufman Avenue to West 23rd Street, by paving with sheet as- phalt. Central Engineering Company, contractors, has been completed. The Engineer's estimate carried 216 cubic yards of rock. 418 yards was the actual amount used. This in- Special Session, May 15th, 1925 181 crease in rock used beyond the es- timate was due to the fact that the gutter grade had to be raised to permit the new gutter to be placed on top of the old rock gutter. This leaves a much more satisfactory street than would have been secured had the old gutter rock been taken out. This change was made at the request of the abutting property owners. Very respectfully, O. E. CARR, City Manager. A RESOLUTION. Whereas, the contract for the im- provement of Frances Street from Kaufman Avenue to West 23rd street, by paving said street with sheet asphalt, has been completed, and the City Manager has exam- ined the work and filed his certifi- cate stating the same has been com- pleted according to the terms and stipulations of the contract and rec- ommends its acceptance, now there- for Be it resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque, that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and said improve- ment be and the same is hereby ac- cepted and the City Engineer be and he is hereby instructed to prepare a plat and schedule showing the lots or parcels of real estate subject to assessment for said improvement and file the same in the office of the City Clerk subject to public in- spection, and the City Clerk shall, upon receipt of such plat and sched- ule, publish the notice of said as- sessments, as required by law, Be it further resolved, that the City Treasurer be and he is hereby directed to pay to the contractor from the funds realized from the sale of improvement bonds issued upon the above described improve- ment an amount equal to the amount of his contract, Less any retained percentage provided for therein.

Gentlemen: I beg to advise that 182 Special Session, May 15th, 1925 the improvement of West 14th Street from Audubon Street to Alta Vista Street, by paving the same with sheet asphalt, . Central Engineering Company, contractors, has been com- pleted. I would therefore recom- mend its acceptance by the City. At the same time I wish to call atten- tion to the fact that the cost of the work was somewhat less than the estimate except for the rock item. The Engineer's estimate called for 1179 cubic yards of rock, but unfor- tunately in carrying forward these figures, the 1000 was left off and only 175 cubic yards was carried in the estimate. The actual quantity required was 1119.31 yards. This error makes no difference in the comparison of the bids as the price on rock as bid was the same by the two lowest bidders. Also on the flat portion of the street the crown is about 14" as against 10" standard. The extra crown was left in the street rather than to disturb too much of the old macadam by cutting down the crown to the required heighth. It would have required a new foundtion for the sheet asphalt pavement if the macadam had been disturbed to cut clown the crown. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. A RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, The contract for the improvement of W. 14th street from Audubon street to Alta Vista street by paving said street with sheet as- phalt has been completed and the City Manager has examined the work and filed his certificate stating the same has been completed accord- ing to the terms and stipulations of the contract and recommends its ac- ceptance, now therefor Be it Resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque, That the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and said improvement be and the same is hereby accepted and the City Engineer be and he is hereby instructed to prepare a plat and schedule showing the lots or parcels of real estate subject to as- sessment for said improvement and file the same in the office of the City Clerk subject to public inspection and the City Clerk shall upon re- ceipt of such plat and schedule pub- lish the notice of said assessments, as required by law.

Gentlemen: Attached herewith is a statement of account from Du- buque County in connection with en- gineering work on the construction of Rockdale Road. When this contract was let we had an understanding with the County Engineer's office that they would look after the engineering work within the city limits for the city Special Session, May and that we would pay for that serv- ice either the actual cost or the pro- rated cost, based ou the cost of the work done by the engineers inside the city limits and the cost of the work done outside. This arrange- ment continued through July, 1923, when the county advised that they could no longer handle the work for the city and we put our own crew on the job to take care of the work from that time on. After the work was completed I had verbal assurance that there would be no bill submitted to the city for this work. The county later became involved with the contractor in some disagreement about claims for interest on county warrants and other things. The county while they recognized the justice of_ the claim of the contractor they were un- able to legally pay without litigation, the amount of the claim by the con- tractor. My understanding is that among the' various 'claims that the county has assigned to the contractor is this claim which the city agreed to pay when the work was started. I am submitting' the matter to. the Coun- cil prior to payment in order that it may be made a matter of record and that a full understanding of the prop- osition may be had by all concerned. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Gabriel moved that this matter be referred to the City Solicitor. Seconded by Councilman Melchior.

A Resolution When the Manager Plan of gov- ernment was adopted by the City of Dubuque in 1920, the first import- ant duty of the newly appointed Council was to secure a, capable Manager, one whose honesty, integ- rity and general character would qualify him for the important posi- tion as administrative head of the municipal government of the City of Dubuque. In the selection of Ossian E. Carr time has proven the soundness of the Council's judgment. He came here at a time when it was gener- ally recognized that the affairs of the City needed thorough reorganiz- ation. Upon his ability depended the success of the new plan. Within the comparitively short period of five years under his administration Du- buque has made marked progress. Perhaps no other city in Iowa has gone forward so rapidly. The many notable improvements for which he has been directly responsible stand as monuments . to his courage, to his ability and to his uniring determin- ation. He has served this commun- ity well What he has accomplished in Du- buque has attracted the attention of other cities. Recently he has accept- Special Session, May 19th, 1925 185 ed the offer of an appointment as Manager of the City of Fort Worth, Texas, and has submitted his resig- nation to the City Council of the City of Dubuque. This Council real- izing that Mr. Carr will have amuch greater opportunity for service in a City of the size of Fort Worth than he has had in Dubuque, felt that in justice to him his resignation should be accepted. Be it therefore resolved by the City Council of the City of of Du- buque that the resignation tendered by Ossian E. Carr as Manager of the said City, be and the same is hereby accepeted. Be it further resolved that in ac- cepting this resignation this Coun- cil, both as a public body and as the individual members comprising the same and as expressing the united sentiment of the people of this com- munity thoroughly and sincerely re- gret the severance of his connection with the City Administration and his loss as a citizen and resident of Dubuque, and there is hereby ex- tended to him felicitations and hope of success in his new undertaking, to which this Council looks with - confidence. Be it further resolved that this Resolution be spread upon the per- manent records of the City Council of the City of Dubuque, this 15th day of May, A. D., 1925. Signed: JAMES ALDERSON, Mayor. L. H.

Forward rel- ative to a compromise settlement for regular and special taxes due and delinquent on Lots 37 and • 44 of Grandview Heights Addition to the City of Dubuque, by the payment of the City of the sum of $100.00, was referred to the undersigned for in- vestigation and report. We beg to advise you that we rec- ommend that the owner of this prop- erty should be required to pay the regular taxes which have been as- sessed in the years 1912 to 1919 for the amount of said assessments, as we see no reason why this property should not pay its fair share of the taxes Wt reference to the special as- sessments against these lots levied in the year 1913 we beg to advise you that the total amount that the City paid when it purchased the certificate was $437.74. We believe that it would be fair to the property owner to accept in full settlement of said assessments the sum of $125.00, which would be one - fourth of a valuation of $500.00, and this amount we consider a fair valuation for these lots. If the owner of the property is satisfied with this adjustment the City should return for cancellation the certificate which it holds. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. M. H.

AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO INTERSTATE POWER C 0 M- PANY A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE, ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, THE RIGHT TO CONSTRUCT AND MAINTAIN AN "A" FRAME STEEL TOWER ON EMERSON STREET AND TO CROSS CERTAIN STREETS WITH ELECTRIC TRANSMIS- Special Session, May 19th, 1925 189 SION LINES AND PRESCRIB- ING THE CONDITIONS UPON WHICH SUCH PERMISSION IS GRANTED. W H E R E A S, Interstate Power Company, a corporation of Delaware. has petitioned the City Council of the City of Dubuque for permission to construct and maintain an "A" Frame Steel Tower approximately 85 to 90 feet in height on Emerson Street near its easterly terminus for the purpose of carrying and support- ing electric transmission lines from its power plant over and across cer- tain streets and private, property within the City of Dubuque. BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Dubuque: Sec. 1. That the Interstate Power Company, a corporation of Dela- ware, its successors and assigns, be and the same is hereby granted per- mission to construct and maintain an "A" Frame Steel Tower approxi- mately 85 to 90 feet in height, to be used for the purpose of supporting electric transmission lines originat- ing at the power plant of said Com- pany and extending over and across certain streets to a point north of Prescott Street and then northerly to the City limits and to maintain in such transmission lines heretofore referred to. Sec. 2. That such permission is expressely granted upon the follow- ing conditions, to wit: let. That in the construction and maintenance of such transmission lines said Company shall exercise due care for the protection of, per- sons and property to the end that no damage or injury shall be done to persons or property by reason of the location and maintenance of such transmission lines. 2nd. That said Company, its suc- cessors and assigns agree to save the City of Dubuque harmless from any damage or injury which may be sustained by persons or property by reason of the permission herein granted, to wit, the right to con- struct and maintain said Tower and carrying the transmission lines over and across streets and private prop- erty. In the event that damages or injury should arise by reason of the permission herein granted to per- sons or property, said Company shall defend any suits arising therefrom which may be brought against the City of Dubuque and assume re- sponsibility for the payment of any judgment • which may be secured thereon. 3rd. That said Company, by its authorized officers, accept the terms of this ordinance within thirty (30) days from its final passage and adoption, but such time may be ex- tended by the Council if requested 188 Special Session, May 19th, 1925 care of the drainage of the street without taking out a large part of the curb. In taking out a part of the curb it was found that a large part of the remaining curb was not fit to leave inasmuch, as there was not, ap- parently much cement used except- ing the finishing coat and it could be broken up with a pick without difficulty. Then too, a large portion of this curb was already broken where the gutter joined it. For this reason a very large por- tion of the curb and gutter was re- placed. Some of the property owners feel that it is unfair to ask that they pay for a new curb and gutter again so soon, in connection with the im- provement of this stret. I am rather inclined to agree with them in their contention. If the Council feels that they are right in their contention and would now instruct the Engineer that the city will assume any cost for re- placing curb and gutter on this im- provement it would save an argu- ment upon the completion and ac- ceptance of this work. Respectfully sumbitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and the City En- gineer be so instructed, Seconded by Councilman Gabriel. Carried by the following vote.

Gentlemen: During the present summer the four year guarantee will expire on Jackson street from Eighth to Eleventh' street, on Wash- ington street from Seventh to Elev- enth streets and on Eleventh street from Central avenue to the C. G. W. R: R. tracks. May 18th, the Engineer and I ex- amined these streets: Washington and Jackson streets seem to be is good condition. Eleventh street needs considerable attention. There are a number of holes in this street between Wash- ington street and the C. G. W. R. R. tracks. There is an occasional 'crack across the street all the way from Central avenue to the railroad tracks. These cracks should be cut out and filled with new material. The pavement is chipped and broken around a number of the water valve boxes and sewer manholes. The Council should take proper action to instruct the contractor, J. F. Lee Paving Co., to, repair this street at once. West Fifth street from Hill street to Nevada street, which was put down in 1922, has a number of cracks which should be given atten- tion. There are a number of places chipped around boxes and man- holes. There are a number of other places that need repairing, notably near South Alta Vista street. I call- ed the matter to the attention of the contractor last year but without any results. I think the Council should instruct the contractor, J. F. Lee Paving Co., to make repairs on this street at once. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City' Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the City Solicitor be instructed to notify - the contractor, J. F. Lee Paving Co., to repair all these streets, and in- cluding Allison Place, at once. Sec- onded by Councilman Gabriel.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: At the March term in the district court, 1925, the case of Hugh, Kear- ney vs. City 'of Dubuque was tried and a jury returned a verdict in fav- or of the plaintiff in the sum of $6,000.000. The motion for a new trial was made by the defendant and the Court sustained the motion about the 14th day of May, 1925. Immediately thereafter the case was again put on the calendar for trial at the present May telm. I have now negotiated a settlement in this case with the plaintiff whereby the city is to pay the sum of $1,750.00 and the costs in the action. This case arose out of a claim for personal inuries sustained by the plaintiff in January, 1924, by falling upon a walk located on the south side of Rush street. The con- dition of this walk has been known to the City for many years and it was permitted to remain in a dan- gerous condition due to the fact that it was constructed of cinders and dirt and the water cut a trench through the same making it uneven for travel. At the time of the acci- dent there were several inches of snow on the walk which has been permitted to remain until about a week. Mr. Kearney in passing over the walk fell and broke his leg. He is an old man and his injuries are permanent. There has never been any question in my mind about the liability of the city in the case and I believe that under all of the cir- cumstances the settlement proposed is as favorable to the City as can be expected. I desire to recommend further that the City proceed without delay to construct a cement sidewalk at th point in question because a great deal of complaint has gone to the City on account of the conditions which prevail at this point. There has been pending against the City for the past two years an action for damages on account of personal injuries sustained by one Elizatbeth Baston who fell and broke her wrist on the east side of Pine Street between 15th and 16th streets. She brought suit against the City in the sum of $5,000.00. At the place where the accident occur- red there is no sidewalk other than some plank laid on stringers for a distance of about fifty feet. These plank have become more or less de- cayed and uneven and at the time of the accident sprung up when walked upon, making this place a rather dangerous condition. Mrs. Baston, in passing over the walk one night fell and broke her arm at the wrist. Her wrist is deformed as a result of the accident and she has practically lost the use of her hand. She is a poor woman who earned her own living through work that she did for others and at the time of the accident I had made a very care- ful examination of the condition and recognized liability. This case was called for trial at the present term and I negotiated a settlement with the plaintiff in the sum of 550.00, she to pay the costs. I believe that this settlement is a very fair one and is consider- able less than could be recovered if the case went to trial, Here also I would recommend that a sidewalk be laid because there is considerable travel over this street although it is occupied to a very large extent by railroad tracks. Special Session, May 27th, 1925 If your honorable body approves these settlements I would recom- mened that a warrant be drawn in favor of Lyon and Wilging in the sum of $1,750.000 as attorneys for Hugh Kearney, that another war- rant in the sum of $88.65 be drawn in favor of Robert Marshall, Clerk of the District Court as costs in this case. Iwould further recommend that a warrant be drawn in favor of Frant- zen, Bonson & Gilloon in the sum of _ $500 as attorneys for Elizabeth Bas - ton. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Gabriel moved that the recommendations of the City Solicitor be approved and carried out as recommended, seconded by Councilman Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor pro -tem Brede, Councilmen Gabriel, Schrempf. Nays —None. Abesent —Mayor Alderson, Conn-. Gilman Melchior, Councilman Gabriel moved that the City Clerk is hereby instructed to approve and sign all vouchers and pay -rolls in the absence of the City Manager.
