A communication of the Dubuque Electric Co., relative to the one -man car system, presented, stating that as evidenced by the operating re- Ports of their street railway depart- ment for some time past there is a pressing need for financial relief of some source. That in addition to this they find themselves confronted with an application from their street car employees for an increase of Regular Session, May 7th, 1923 241 wages, that they do not believe it in their power to increase revenue by an increase in fares, and it is simply a question of reducing operating ex- penses to allow an increase in the wage scale. They feel that a consid- erable economy may be effected by one -man car operation and at the same time offer the public more satisfactory service. They feel that the Dodge- and - Linwood, and the Ea- gle Point lines are well adapted for one -man operation and desire per- mission to give the matter a fair trial on these lines. Mr. T. E. Par- ker, general manager, addressed the Council on the merits of the peti- tion. Action on this matter was de- ferred to the next meeting of the Council.

The officers and directors of the Chamber are convinced that Dubuque will only get a share of this money by going after it in a forceable manner and believe that a River and Harbor Commission should be appointed for the purpose of outlining plans for river and harbor development cover- ing a number of years.

May 5th, 1923. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the meeting of the Council held on April 30th, a peti- tion of property owners asking for a number of things in connection with Algona street, was referred to the City Manager. First, the request is made that Al- gona street be extended north to Rosedale avenue. I think this is most desirable and should be effect- ed as soon as possible. Second, the request is made that Algona street be paved from West 14th street to Rosedale avenue. Sewer, water and gas are now in Algona street as far as from West 14th street to Delaware street. The stretch from Delaware to Rosedale is not supplied with either sewer, wa- ter or gas. The street certainly should be paved as soon as the ex- tension is made and utilities are placed on the ground. Scarcely any real benefits will accrue from paving Algona street until the same can be laid through to Rosedale avenue and Rosedale avenue is also improved to furnish improved streets clear to the new high school. Third, • the request is made that the Council order the poles of the Dubuque Electric Co. moved from Algona street to the alley between Algona and Auburn street. This last request I do not feel is practical at this time. I appreciate the fact that th poles are more or less objection- able, but the City must cause the streets to be lighted and unless the property owners wish to take care of some other method of lighting the street than from the arc lights which are now supplied it would not be 244 Regular Session, May 7th, 1923 practical to move the pole line off the street. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. No action taken. May 5th, 1923. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Some time ago a peti- tion of property owners on Shiras avenue, north of the entrance to Eagle Point Park, was referred to the City Manager for investigation and report. Since that time other property owners have called on me to protest against the improvement. I have been out over the street and feel that the improvement unques- tionably should be made. In fact all of the property owners want the street improved, but do not feel like paying for the cost of the same. After going over the pros and cons of the matter, I would make the fol- lowing recommendation. First, that the City grade the street. Second, that they haul and place as a Telford base for a bitum- inous macadam pavement, the gutter rock discarded by the contractor in connection with other street improve- ments this year. Third, that later in the year, a contract be retained for the laying of a 3 -inch bituminous surface on the Telford base prev- iously placed by the City. The City has some obligation to perform to make this street passa- ble. The property owners are, some of them, unable to pay for the cost of the improvement. In handling it this way the assessed cost will not be over $1.00 per front foot abutting on the street. I believe this will be within the means of most of the property owners and will come un- der the 25 per cent of the actual value of the property. I also know that the people living beyond the city limits are anxious enough to have this improvement made to aid some of the property owners who themselves would have difficulty in meeting an assessment of even $1.00 per front foot. In the above recommendation it is expected that an 18 -foot bituminous macadam roadway will be construct- ed about 4 feet from the west prop- erty line of this 40 -foot street and that the waterway will be crowded ever to the east 14 feet of the street. If this plan meets with the approval of the Council. we will start work on the grading within a few days. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and the work be done as suggested. Seconded. by Council- man Melchior. Carried by the fol- lowing vote: Yeas — Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior, Schrempf. Nays —None. May 5th, 1923. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: There have been a large number of sewers petitioned for in the past few months. Work is proceeding satisfactorily on the big proposition for supplying Bag Point with sewerage facilities. There remains the necessity of securing right -of -way over a considerable pri- vate property, which will be done as rapidly as possible. The Engineer, however, has pre- pared plans covering the following sewer extensions: Julien avenue district which in- cludes Julien avenue from Wood street to Delhi street; Stewart street from Julien avenue to Delhi street; Atlantic street from Julien avenue nearly to West 14th street; Auburn street from Delhi street nearly to West 14th street; Auburn street from Delhi street nearly to West 14th street; Custer street from Al- gona street to Atlantic street. Stafford street from Merz street to Ries street; Pleasant street from Stafford street to Viola street; Hen- nepin street from Windsor avenue down to Brecht's Lane, and from Brecht's lane to Stafford street. Alley between Forest Lane and West 5th street from Glen Oak street to the end of the alley. West 16th street from Cornell street to Catherine street and in Catherine street to West 17th street. The above plans are completed. I would therefore request authority to advertise for bids for the construe. tion of each of the above improve- ments. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Gabriel moved that the authority to advertise for bids for the foregoing sewers as request- ed be given. Seconded by Council- man Brede.

Gentlemen: On the 9th day of De- cember, 1895, an assessment was le- vied for the improvement of Locust street. The north 35 feet of City Lot 477, owned by J. H. Shields, was assessed for $204.56. On December 10th, 1898, $96.76 on the principal and $17.46 on the in- terest was paid. This was all that Mr. Shields felt he should have paid for the improvement as the City as- sessed the entire cost of the inter- section to the four adjacent lots, which under his contention was not in accordance to the benefits. This property was advertised for sale in December, 1920, and pur- chased by the City at an adjourned sale. Mr. Wm. Lawther, Jr., wishes to clear any cloud on the title to this property and for that reason offers to pay the sum of $50.00 as settlement in full for the sale. His check is now in my hands made out in favor of the City Treasurer, for this purchase. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.

To the City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: In 1910 a special assessment was levied upon adjoining lots and tracks of railways on Iowa street, between First and Third streets in the City, for brick paving on Iowa street. The various amounts of assess- ments were subsequently changed, and as shown by the correspondence the I. C. R. R . Company paid $1,341.98 in payment of the assess- ment for the improvement adjacent to and between tracks. It appears that a portion of this assessment was not cancelled in the sum of $322.27. The treasurer has made a demand for the payment of this as- sessment levied March 25th, 1910. Your petition respectfully requests that the Treasurer be directed to cancel this assessment of record.

City Manager and the City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen:— As your Health Officer, 1 desire to call your attention to a condition relative to the City Milk supply that is of immediate importance. All dairy herds supplying raw milk at retail have, within the past year and a half, been tuberculin tested. Some few dairy herd owners have of their own accord, applied and re- ceived a retest, free, from the Fed- eral agents now operating in the community. The findings of tubercular react- ing dairy cows in large number in some of these herds supplying raw milk indicates that the former test was unreliable or some very infecti- ous animals were added to the test- ed herd after the test was made. According to Section 12 of the Milk Ordinance enacted late in the year 1921 it lies within the Power of the Board of Health to require that this test be applied once each year or oftener if they deem it necessary for the protection of the Public Health. I, therefore, recommend that your Honorable body give this matter Prompt consideration. Very resepectfully, Director of Health, Field Agent U. S. P. H. S. Councilman Gabriel moved that Dr. Steelsmith be ordered to order all herds furnishing raw milk to Du- buque, be tested for tuberculosis, seconded by Councilman Melchior, carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Melchior, Schrempf.
