To the Honorable Mayor and City Council: Gentlemen: When the improve- ment was made on Fourth street ex tention, the total cost of this im- provement to the Adams Co. was $12.230.63. We have paid all this except two payments on Booth Estate property and the Adams Company property, amounting to $2,417.16. Or in other words, we have paid 99,- 823.47. Besides that, we have paid penalties of $1,590.31. All of this is more than we would legally be rewired to pay according to the assessed valuation of the prop- el iy It was our inten . on at i.ne time to pay this without any con- tention, as we dislike to in any way oppose improvements in the city. On account of circumstances, we would like to have you cancel this amount that is still due, and if you could make it consistent on account of the assessment for the improve- ment being greater than the law re- quires, we would consider it a great favor. Please take into consideration the penalties that we already paid. We would consider it quite a hard- ship to pay a penalty on the balance due, $2,417.16. We are submitting this to you in this form simply to bring it before you. If you have any suggestions to make in regard to it, we shall be pleased to hear them. Respectfully yours, THE ADAMS COMPANY, By Eugene Adams, President. Councilman Gabriel moved that the petition be referred to Mayor Alder- son and Councilman Brede, for in- vestigation and report. Seconded by Councilman Melchior. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Melchior, Schrempf. Nays —None. Absent— Councilman Brede. November 5th, 1923.

Originally I had suggested that in- stead of levying the cost of the hill- side brick paving, the property own- ers be asked to bear only what the cost would have boen had it been possible to use vibrolithic paving on this street. This recommendation was passed up due to the fact that the Council had no right to reduce an assessment unless the property itself is not worth the amount of the assessment as levied. I have endeavored to arrive at a fair value of the vacant property abutting this street. Lots occupied by buildings of course are worth four times the amount of the assessment without question. Also lots back from the street are unquestionably within the proper as- sessment. The vacant lots however, in this block lying between Nevada and Booth streets which face either on Nevada or Booth streets and hav- ing their long side abutting the im- provement are in excess of the 25 per cent value. I have prepared a little table on which the approximate value with improvement in is based upon a re- cent selling price cn a lot in this neighborhood plus the assessed cost of the improvement. I also indicate the present assess- ed values for taxation purposes which are not only rediculously small out are also entirely out of balance. This is cited to show again to the Council necessity of compiling a revaluation of residence property in Dubuque, for taxation purposes. The figures used in this table would indicate a proper reduction in the assessment against S. A.. Craw- ford of $175.93; Frank Hird, $164.33; H. C. Torbert, $239.42; and Philip Erschen, $171.01. These four prop- erty owners being the only ones af- fected by the 25 per cent proposition. The total reduction recommended amounts to $750.69. Regular Session, November 5th, 1923 753 In case these conclusions meet the approval of the City Council, I would recommend that the Auditor be in- structed to draw a warrant on the General Funds of the City in favor of the special improvements fund for $750.69 to take care of this reduc- tion, the improvement of Langworthy street, Councilman Melchior moved that the assessment for Langworthy street from Nevada street to College street be reduced to the cost that it would have been had it been improved with vibrolithic.

Lang - -s orthy Sub., recommended that the assessment against this property for the improvement of Langworthy street from Nevada to College streets be reduced to $162.50. Councilman Melchior moved that the recommendation of the City So- licitor and City Engineer be approv- ed and the reduction be made as rec- ommended. Seconded by Councilman Gabriel.

Gentlemen: At a meeting of the Council held on October 29th, 1923, the petition of property owners on Angella street, requesting that the street be brought to grade, was re- ferred by the City Council to the City Manager. I beg to advise that the location referred to is at a deep gulley cross-. ing Angella street where Cox street will be located when the same is run through. Prior to doing this fill- ing, a large expenditure should be made to put in a concrete culvert at the bottom of the fill. In my judgment, the City at the present time is not in position to either take care of the expense of the filling or the construction of the culvert which must be placed first. I would there- fore recommend that the petition be received and filed. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Melchior moved that the petition be received and filed. Seconded by Councilman Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Melchior, Schrempf. Nays —None. Absent— Councilman Brede. November 5th, 1923. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On November 29th, 1922, the City Council passed a resolution ordering James B. Hack- ett, owner of Lot 10, Coates Add., City of Dubuque, to cause this lot to be filled. The owner of this property did not fill same and the work was there- fore done by the City through their contractor, the La Crosse Dredging Co. The amount of filling necessary, } 754 Regular Session, November 5th, 1923 as computed by the City Engineer, was 3,832 cubic yards at a cost of $0.18875 per cubic yard, amounting to $723.29. I have unofficially notified Mr. Hackett of the cost of the work, but have from him nothing indicating as to how he wishes to take care of the same. I would therefore recom- mend that the regular procedure in connection with the levying of a special assessment be followed in this case. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. A Resolution. Whereas, the contract for the fill- ing of Lot 10, Coates Add., has been completed, and Whereas, the City Manager has examined said work and recommend- ed the acceptance of said work, now therefore Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Dubuque, that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and the City Engi- neer be and he is hereby instructed to prepare a plat and schedule show - ing the lots or parcels of real estate subject to assessment for said im- provement and file the same in the office of the City Clerk subject to public inspection, and the City Clerk shall upon receipt of such plat and schedule notify the owner • of said assessment, by giving to him a writ- ten notice. personally served and advising him that any objections which he may have to said assess- ment or preliminary proceedings, must be filed with the City Clerk on or bfeore the 3rd day of Decem- ber, 1923, at which time the same will be presented to the City Coun- cil for consideration at a meeting to be held on said date. Adopted November 5th, 1923. Attest: JOHN STUBER, City Clerk. Approved: JAMES ALDERSON, Mayor. THEO. GABRIEL. H. G. MELCHIOR, ED. SCHREMPF, Councilmen. Councilman Melchior moved the adoption of the resolution. Second- ed by Councilman Schrempf. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Melchior, Schrempf. Nays —None. Absent — Councilman Brede. November 5th, 1923. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Some months ago an agreement was entered into by which the City was to sell a cer- tain block in the ground filled in Rafferty's Slough to the Ott Rubber Co. This agreement was to be com- pleted after the City prepared and filed a proper plat by which this property could be described. I be- lieve that this plat will be ready for filing in a short time. The triangular tract of ground bounded by Fourth street extension, Sixth street and the railroad track is owned principally by The Adams Company. The Rhomberg estate owns two lots and the Burlington Ry. Co. owns six lots. Reasonable prices have been placed on the prop. erty owned by The Adams Company and the Rhomberg Estate. I would recommend the reinvest- ment of the money as far as neces- sary, secured from the sale of the tract of ground in Rafferty's Slough to the Ott Rubber Co. in this property. In my judgment this ground can be filled by the City of Dubuque in the course of two years by discon- tinuing the care of the dump at the foot of 13th street and the dump near the athletic field, and concen- trating the dumping, as far as pos- sible, in this vacant hole. In this way the City will ultimately receive returns for at least the time of the roan engaged in taking care of the dump. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Gabriel moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and this mat- ter be referred to Mayor Alderson and Councilman Brede to arrange for the purchase of this piece of property. Seconded by Councilman Melchior. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Melchior, Schrempf. Nays —None. Absent— Councilman Brede. The City Manager reported that the assessment as levied against Lot 460, Ham's Add., owned by the Voelker Realty Co., for gas connec- tions is erroneous and should be cancelled. Councilman Gabriel moved that the assessment as lev- ied against this lot be cancelled and the amount of the original assess- ment be sent to the Key City Gas Company for erroneous connection. Seconded by Councilman Schrempf. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Melchior, Schrempf. Nays —None. Absent — Councilman Brede. Regular Session, November 5th, 1923 75.5 November 5th, 1923. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In connection with the storm sewer now being built in East 24th street and Windsor avenue, the contract for which was let to Uhlrich -Paley Co. for a little over $20,000.00. I beg to advise that the general funds of the City will not stand the cost of this sewer. For that reason I would recommend the issuance of bonds maturing not la- ter than 1938, bearing 4% per cent interest in order to finance this improvement. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Schrempf moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and the pro- per legislation for the issuance of the bonds be prepared. Seconded by Councilman Gabriel. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Melchior, Schrempf. Nays —None. Absent— Councilman Brede. November 2nd, 1923. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Sometime ago the petition of Mr Hammond, regarding an assessment for improvement of Foye street was referred to the City Manager for investigation and report. I have delayed making a report inas- much as I felt that the correction of the error made in the assessment would make the whole thing satis- factory to Mr. Hammond. I find how- ever that that has not been the case. Sub. 1 of 1 of 1 of J. P Schroeder's Add. was assessed $543.52 for the improvement of Foye street and .$32.45 for the improvement of Lowell street. This is a large lot on which Mr. Hammond's house is situated. There is therefore no authority for any reduction in this assessment. There is a little lot about 25x40 feet which forms a corner of the yard and really forms a part of the prin- cipal lot. This is Sub. 2 of 108 Me- chanic's Add. This lot was assessed $80.15 for the improvement of Foye street and $13.78 for the improve- ment of Lowell street. The entire assessment levied against this lot amounts to $93.88 and the assessment levied against Mr. Hammond's prop- erty amounts to $679.85. There will probably be an assessment amount- ing to $600.00 next year for the im- provement of Seminary street. The small lot above referred to, 2 of 108 Mechanic's Add. is probably not worth over $100.00. I would sug- gest that the value of property be taken as $100.00, making the maxi- mum assessment to be levied against it $25.00 which would give a reduc- tion on the assessment as levied amounting to $55.15. My recommendation would be that the assessment be reduced accord- ingly and that a warrant be drawn from the general fund to the special improvement fund in order to make up this shortage in the levy. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Melchior moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and the Treasuer be authorized to accept $25.00 in full for the special assessment against lot 2 of 108 Mechanic's Add., and the Auditor be instructed to draw a war- rant on the General Fund in favor of the special assessment fund to make up the deficiency thus created.

Gentlemen: I am submitting here- with a report made by the City Engineer regarding the assessment on Langworthy street from Nevada street to College street, based on the cost of paving this street with vibrolithic instead of Hillside brick, the cost of vibrolithic being taken the same as the cost was on Booth street. This new schedule of cost is worked out, from my understanding of the desire of the Council, which was to correct the assessment in connection with the improvement to what it would have been had it been possible to use vibrolithic on this street instead of Hillside brick. The total reduction to $4,068.91 with an additional reduction as al- lowed by the Council at the meeting held on November 5th, in connec- tion with the A. L. Rhomberg peti- tion, of $130.84. If the Council wish to have the assessment as levied corrected in accordance with this new schedule, authority should be given to the Auditor to draw a warrant from the general funds in favor of , the spe- cial improvement funds in the sum of $4,199.75. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Gabriel moved that the reduction as above shown be accepted and the Auditor be in- structed' to draw a warrant on the general fund in favor of the special assessment fund for the sum of $4,199.75 to make up the deficiency thus created.

Gentlemen: Some months ago we were appointed as members of a committee to prepare a Building Code for the City of Dubuque. We were also aware of the fact that the reduced insurance rates were depen- dent upon the passage and adoption of a building code by the City of Dubuque at an early date. Copies of the building code of Davenport and Waterloo were se- cured. We have followed along the lines of these two codes, following more closely the Davenport code than the Waterloo code. We are submitting herewith a copy of the building code which we would recommend for adoption by the City of Dubuque. The indepen- dent preparation of a building code is a matter which would require a year or two of time and a consider- able expense. We have therefore tried to adapt those codes that we have followed to meet the conditions in Dubuque. We have also tried to hear in mind the need for more homes in Dubuque and have tried to avoid any requirements which would ^^ease unnecessarily the cost of building. Where the requirements have been made, we believe that the additional safety and prevention of fire which these requirements in- sure. more than counterbalance any additional expense occasioned by the requirement. We trust that the code as sub- mitted for adoption by the City Council will be adopted without many changes. To take up the sub- jects covered, one at a time and to give them full discussion will take a considerable time and after being thoroughly discussed, the probabil- ity is that public opinion will be divided about equally. Our sugges- tion would be that the code be adopted practically as submitted, leaving changes to be worked out in the course of time and after a full 768 Special Session, November 12th, 1923 Special Session, November 12th, 1923 769 opportunity has been afforded to see just what the requirements are and the effect of these requirements on building operation. The above suggestion does not apply with the same force to certain portions of the gide. For instance, the first chapter covering the organ- ization of the department and the fees charged as well as the next to the last part which deals with the fire limits can be amended in any way that the Council feels desirable without effecting the code. The fees charged in this code are practically the same as those charged in Davenport and Waterloo. From corresponding with these two cities we find that the fees in Da- venport and Waterloo are practically enough to take care of the expense of the inspection. Whether or not the fees will be adequate will de- pend very largely on the amount of building done. The code as submitted is to be effective January 1st, 1924. It is the thought of your com- mittee that Dubuque should have had a building code years ago and that the adoption of a building code should not be very much delayed. Respectfully submitted, W. D. YOKOM, KARL F. SAAM, O. E. CARR, Committee. A communication of the Dubuque Real Estate Board, asking that as builders and property owners the board be allowed sufficient time to study the revised building code be- fore its final adoption; that the Building Code Committee may report back to its membership, as a whole, the effect of the various changes contemplated. Councilman Melchior moved that a copy of the code be filed in the of- fice of the City Clerk for public in- spection, and the Clerk shall notify the Dubuque Real Estate Board of its action, also not to allow the code to be taken from his office unless a check or cash of $25.00 is deposited as a guarantee that the code will be returned.

Gentlemen: The budget for the year 1923 carried with it an appro- priation of $600.00 for the Visiting Nurses Association. Previously the appropriation had been $100.00 per month or $1,200.00 per year. Dr. Steelsmith advises that the Visiting Nurses Association has co- operated to the fullest extent with his department and are taking care of quarantine and isolation of com- municable diseases together with their other work. This being the case, I would rec- ommend that a further appropria- tion of $100.00 a month, or $600.00 for the rest of the year, be made as remuneration for the public health work being done by the Visiting Nurses. Respectfully sumbitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and the Auditor be instructed to draw a warrant on the General Fund in favor of the Health Fund for $600.00.

Gentlemen: In accordance with your instructions bids were received at ten a. m. Saturday, November 10th, for the furnishing of all labor and materials necessary for the con- struction of a sanitary sewer to serve the Eagle Point district in ac- cordance with the Resolution of Nec- essity previously passed by the Council. The totals of each bid received, based upon the unit prices as bid for this work are as follows: Uhlrich -Paley Co., Dubuque, Iowa, $46,751.25. National Construction Co., Daven- port, Iowa, $48,037.30. James Saul, Dubuque, Iowa, con- crete pipe), $48,254.19; (vitrified tile pipe), $48,623.49. • Anton Zwack, Dubuque, Iowa, $58,905.90, Cook & Kean, Dubuque, Iowa, $66,559.20. Engineer's estimate, $51,608.99. Certain parts of the work were rather difficult to figure on account of the deep sand cut along the bank adjacent to the Milwaukee tracks. This accounts for the considerable work. I would recommend that the con- tract be awarded to the Uhlrich - Paley Co., at their bid, as theirs is the lowest bid received for this work. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Resolution. Whereas, a technical omission has inadvertantly crept into the notice to contractors which was published for the construction of the sewers proposed to be built in the Rhom- berg Avenue district, which omission might result in the invalidating of a contract let pursuant thereto; Be it therefore resolved by the City Council of the City of Dubuque that it is deemed advisable to cor- rect the notice to contractors in this respect and therefore all bids re- ceived pursuant to such notice be and the same are hereby rejected and the Clerk is directed to re- adver- tise for the doing of said work and return to the respective bidders their certified checks.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa: Gentlemen: On October 28th, 1921. the City Council levied a special as -, sessment against lot 2 of Yates and Pickett's Subdivision, City of Du- buque to pay for the construction of a sanitary sewer in Pickett street from Cornell street westerly. The _ amount of the assessment was $186.92. Lot 2 has a frontage on Pickett street of 50 feet and under the law an assessment for sewer cannot exceed $3.00 for a linear foot. D. J. Lenehatl the owner of said lot, remonstrated against said assess- ment and took an appeal to the Dis- trict Court, and this appeal was tri..d before said court at the present term. The Court after hearing the evidence which was submitted and the law in the case, entered a de- cree in favor of the City in the sum of $150.00 with interest thereon at the rate of 5 per cent from the date of levy. The assessment which was levied by the Council was found to be ex- cessive to the extent of $36.92 and the amount was cancelled by the Court. Judgement was also rendered against the appellant for the cost of the proceedings. Attached hereto you will find a copy of the decree which was entered by the Court in the case and I would recommend that the Treasurer be in- structed to correct the assessment according to this decree. In view of the fact that the as- sessment was reduced to the extent of $36.92 I would further recommend that a warrant be drawn upon the General Fund in favor of the Special Assessment Fund for the sum of $36.92. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Schrempf moved that the report of the City Solicitor be approved and the Treasurer be so instructed. Seconded by Councilman Gabriel. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, and Schrempf. Nays —None. Absent — Councilman Melchior. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: On the 20th day of July, 1922, the City Council levied a special assessment against City lot 589 in the sum of $96.11 to, pay for the construction of a sanitary sewer in the alley between Locust and Bluff streets, beginning at a point 75 feet south of Jones street, and Mary A. Halpin the owner of said lot ap- pealed from said assessment to the District Court of Dubuque County, Iowa. I beg to advise that at the present term of Court I secured the consent of the .executor of the es- tate of said Nary A. Halpin, de- ceased, to pav the assessment in full together with interest thereon from the date of levy. This has been done and the Treasurer now has the check for the full amount. T find however that this lot was sold at tax sale to the City of Du- buque last year and the City now holds the tax certificate for the same. This should not have been done be• cause the property could not be ad- vertised for sale while the appeal is pending. This fact however was not known to the Treasurer and since the property was not listed in the name of Mrs. Halpin it slipped through and the City became the pur- chaser of the tax certificate. I would recommend that the Treasurer be instructed to cancel the tax certifi- cate, execute a receipt in full for the Special assessment which has been paid. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Brede moved that the report of the City Solicitor be ap- proved and the recommendation car- ried out, and the Treasurer be so instructed.

To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: On January 24th, 1922 the City of Dubuque levied a special assessment against the Klauer Mfg. Co., to pay for the improvement of Washington street from the north property line of 8th street to the south property line of llth street. This Company protested against the .assessment and subsequently ap- pealed to the District Court of Du- buque County, Iowa. This appeal has been pending ever since that time. Some time ago I had a conference with Mr. Wm. Klau- er and with his attorney and with the City Engineer and at that time it was understood that the assess- ment would be paid. However the case has been pend- ing in the District Court, and at this term I made an effort to have the same disposed of. yesterday Mr. Klauer was in to see me and • advised me that his company would pay their assessment in full togeth- er with the interest charged upon the same. • He made this request, Special Session, November 22nd, 1923 however, that said Company be per- mitted to pay its assessment on the installment basis and agreed that if this is done the Company would pay all of the assessment with in- terest which are due at this time, and would pay the subsequent as- sessments when they became due according to the installment plan. I advised him that I was not in a position to consent to an arrange• went, because under the law an as- sessment which is not paid within thirty (30) days after the same is Attest: levied the whole of the assessment _ .._. __....._._...._.._ . becomes due at one time. The only City Clerk. way the installment plan can ba car- ried out is where the property own- er pays the first installment within 30 days after the levy and signs a waiver that he will pay his assess- ment without objection. I told him that the Council may waive this rule if it desired to do so and I promised that I would submit the same to the Council for its consideration. If such an arrangement is agree- able to the. Council it should instruct the City Treasurer to accept from the Klauer Mfg. Co. that portion of the assessment with interest which is due at this time and distribute the balance upon the books in the County Treasurer's office under the remaining installment period. I submit this for your consider- ation and action. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Gabriel moved that the report of the City Solicitor be ap- proved, and that the Klauer Mfg. Co. be allowed to pay, their assessment on the installment 'plan. The first three assessments to be paid at once with interest and the balance of the assessments to be distributed upon the books in the County Treasurer's office under the remaining install- ment period, and the Treasurer be so instructed.
