The Honorable Mayor and Council of
the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: On January 31, 1923,
Mrs. John Bohn fell at the alley on
Windsor avenue between Hennepin
and Reece street and sustained a
fracture of her left wrist. The point
where the accident occurred was ex-
amined and found to be quite dan-
gerous by reason of the accumula-
tion of snow and ice which had ex-
isted there for some time. I have
had the matter up with Mrs: Bohn
and she agrees to accept in settle-
ment of her claim the sum of $43.00,
which is the actual doctor bill ren-
dered to her on account of said acci-
dent. As Mrs. Bohn is very reason-
able in this matter it is my. opinion
the claim is justified and I recom-
mend that she be paid the sum of
$43.00 in full settlement of her claim,
and ask that a warrant be drawn In
favor of John Bohn, her husband, in
that amount.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
Solicitor.

Gentlemen: You are hereby noti-

Gow, claims of the City of Dubuque
the sum of $2,500.00 damages sus-
tained by him as the result of per-
sonal injuries received from a fall
on the sidewalk on Harvard street
in said city. On January 4th, 1923,
about 10:00 o'clock a. m., he was
proceeding in a general southerly
direction on Harvard street on the
sidewalk on the west side thereof,
proceeding towards Alta Vista street,
and when he reached a point two to
four feet from the north line of the
lot owned by Wm. Crabtree and
known as 626 Alta Vista street, he
slipped and fell on said sidewalk,
and as a result thereof sustained ser-
ious permanent injuries consisting
of a severe contusion of the right
shoulder and severe sprain of his
back and right ankle, and as a result
of such injuries he was confined to
his home from the 4th of January un-
til the 22nd of February and was re-
quired to employ a doctor and
nurses and purchase medicine.
That at the time he so fell the
sidewalk was quite covered with a
coating of rough and uneven slip-
pery ice, that that condition had ex-
isted for a number of days prior to
the time that he fell, and on the par-
ticular morning that he fell this side
walk with the ice coating thereon
was covered with a skiff of snow
which concealed the location of the
ice covering on the walk.
That he suffered considerable pain,
loss of time and will continue to suf-
fer said pain and be handicapped in
his work in the future, and that he
believes the injuries or some sus-
tained by him are of a permanent
nature.

Notice of Special meeting of the
City Council,
To ..................._._......... ....................Councilman;
You are hereby notified that at
4:30 p. m. at the Council Chamber
in the City of Dubuque. March 10th,
1923, there will be held a special
meeting of the City Council of said
City for the purpose of canvassing
the vote cast by the electors at a
special election held on March 9th,
1923. At which election the ques-
tion of issuing bonds for water pur-
poses was voted upon, and for the
transacting of such other business as
may properly come before a regular
meeting of the Council.
Dated at Dubuque, Iowa this 10th
day of March, 1923.
JOHN STUBER,
City Clerk.
Mayor Alderson read the call and
stated that service thereof had been
duly made, and that this meeting
is called for the purpose of canvass-
ing the vote of the special election
for the issuance of $325,000.00 bonds
for water works purposes held March
9th, 1923, and for the transaction of
such other business as may properly
come before a regular meeting of the
Council.
Petiticn of the Dubuque Baseball
Association, requesting the use of
the Athletic Field for the Season of
1923 from May 1st to Sept. 4th, 1923.
The Association also asks the use
of the park from April 12th to April
30th for training purposes and also
for the dates of Sept 8 -9 -15 and 16th
for exhibition games. They state
further in their petition that the op-
eration of an organized baseball club
is a community proposition and its
promoters have gone forward with
no thought of pecuniary reward. Last
year there was a deficit of some
$3,500.00 which has been taken care
of by several public spirited men in-
terested in the undertaking. This
year the club is again receiving ma-
terial support from many citizens
who believe that baseball is an asset
to a community, and while prospects
for the coming season are bright
there is little possibility of the club
showing a profit.
The Baseball Club, therefore, sug-
gests that the members of the Coun-
cil take these matters into considera-
tion in arranging a proposition for
payment for use of the park.
Respectfully yours,
Dubuque Baseball Club,
W. E. WENDT, Secy.

cil saw it that way to suspend pay-
ment of the rent to the end of the
season. The rent to be the same as
last year, (1922) and if there is a
deficit the rent be cancelled.
Councilman Brede moved that the

for, at which election the follow-
ing question was submitted to the
electors of said City, as provided by
Section 1306 -b of the Supplement

"Shall Bonds be issued for Water-
works Purposes ?" and

or of the issuance of bonds for water-

owners, also a remonstrance of prop-
erty owners on Washington street
from 20th to 24th streets, signed by
7 abutters. Both petitions object to
the use of vibrolithic paving for
said street. Stating that Vibrolithic
paving is more or less of an experi-
ment. They further suggest to the
Council that the specifications pro-
viding for said improvement be re-
vised in such a way as to lower the
crown of the street, and eliminate
rock filler, which is proposed to be
put under soft top pavements. They
further suggest that it is their de-
sire that the plans and specifications
be revised as above suggested and
the street be improved with either
Bitulithic or sheet asphalt.

onded by Councilman Gabriel. Car-

Attorney F. Gilloon, addressed the

tion, he stated further that the rea-

that Washington street is required to
carry considerable flood water, and
if the crown is raised to any ma-
Special Session, March 16th, 1923 137
terial extent above its present eleva-
tion, the result will be that the flood
waters will overflow the curbs into
the adjoining property and cellars.
He stated further that the reason
the petitioners ask for the bitulithic
or sheet asphalt paving is that it is
cleaner and quieter, and that they
are satisfied with its wearing
strength, and that they hereby ask
the Council to give careful consid-
eration to these objections and act
favorably upon them. There being
no remonstrance against any of
the other streets proposed to be im-
proved.

The revenues • and expenditures of the City Waterworks, the Athletic
Field and the Municipal Bathing Beach are not included in the above
tabulation.
The total moneys accruing to the General Fund, both from taxation
and miscellaneous revenues, as shown previously, are expected to amount
to $384,011.43. The . total proposed to spend from the General Fund
amounts to $383,366.97, which leaves a small balance.
The Water Department is placed on an independent footing. The city
charges the water department rental and interest on the money collected
by taxation to pay for the cost of the plant. In turn the water department
Charges the various city departments for water used and for hydrant rental.
The result is about the same but is rather more businesslike and at the
same time answers some of the thoughtless critics.

The following communication and

The main sources of revenue of
the Visiting Nurses Association in
the year 1922.

Directors' l ...._...._.....
For the p C t en (10 1711.80
) Metropolitan
the
nurses have mad lec 2229 ons Metropolitan
visits, and 4221 Visiting Nurses As-
soci
The ation Visiting visits. Nurses Association
gives advisory and educational care
from every angle that effects the
health of any member of the family,
except the school child who comes
under the care of the school nurse
for advice and health instruction.
The Metropolitan nursing service
is essentially for the acutely ill. A
chronic may not have more than six
(6) visits, and maternity case is
allowed only eight (8) for the mother
and baby. We all know that ten (10)
visits is the very least we can give
the mother, and very often are
obliged to give fourteen (14) to the
baby. In these cases, as in the tub-
erculosis cases, the work is contin-
ued by the Visiting Nurses Associ-
ati on.
T he Fresh Air School, and the
Fresh Air Camp, are supported by
the sale of the Health Seals at
Christmas. In our report for 1922,
the balance at the end of the year
was a little over $2600.00, practic-
ally all of which was from the seals,
so that our general fund is so de-
pleted that we shall in any case have
to dismiss one of our nurses, and if
the City appropriation is cut, it will
mean a more serious curtailment.
The work that the Visiting Nurses
Association is doing, in bedside nurs-
ing and preventive work is of inval-
uable assistance to the Board of
Health and the physical welfare of
the City. The City Health Officer,
Dr. Steelsmith, or any physician will
verify our statements as to the value
of the Visiting Nurses Association
service to the community.
Councilman Brede moved that the
petition be referred to the Health

ounil Melchior. Carried
by by the foll g
