Gentlemen: At a meeting, of the City Council, held April 14th, 1924, the petition of C. E. Reynolds ask- ing that the assessment be seduced against lot 8 Lois Add. was referred to the City Manager and the Mayor x�r iuvesti ration and iepurt We have investigated this lot and would recommend that no reduction be granted, at this time. This as- sessment levied in October, 1922, and there has been plenty of time prior to April, 1924, in which to ask for a reduction in this assessment. Fur- thermore the assessment as levied amounts to $222.87. It is the assess- ment as levied which is limited to 25 per cent of the value and not the interest accruing on account of nonpayment. It is our judgment that this lot is worth four times the amount of the assessment on account of the im- provement of Alpine street. For this reason and also on ac- count of the fact that one and one- half years have elapsed since the levy was made, we would recom- mend that the petition be received and . man Schrempf moved that Respectively submitted, O.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun- cilmen, City of Dubuque, Iowa: Gentlemen: We note that a con- tract has been awarded for the im- provement of Jones 'street east of Main street. Our Company has a short spur of track approximately eighty feet in length extending east on Jones street from Main, which track must be ele- vated several inches to conform to the new level of the street after same is resurfaced. In as much as this particular spur of track is of practically no value in the operation of our street car system, we would much prefer to remove the track entirely, replacing the paving in as good condition as at present, thus allowing th eentire width of the street at this point to be resurfaced under the same speci- fications as those governing the por- tion of the street exclusive of that now occupied by our track. We presume that since the con- tract has already been awarded, it will be necessary that our Company assume the expense of resurfacing a strip 8 feet in width after the tracks have been removed and the present paving eplaced, and this we are willing to do. Respectfully, Dubuque Electric Company, By T. T. Parker, General Manager. Councilman Gabriel moved that the prayer of the petition be grant- ed. Seconded by Councilman Schrempf.
