City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The petition of W. H.
Schoch, asking for a reduction of
the assessment as levied against
Lots 22, 23 and 26, Finley Home Ad-
dition, was referred to the City Man-
ager of the last meeting of the
Council.
I have investigated and beg to
advise as follows. These lots are
one hundred and twenty feet deep
and fifty feet frontage. They lie
considerably above the street and
are very fine lots and anyone of
them is, id my judgment, easily
worth $600.00 and are assessed as
follows: Lot 26 is assessed $15.65,
Lot 23 is assessed $76.60 and Lot
22 is assessed for $143.77.
My recommendation would there-
fore be that the petition of Mr. W.
H. Schoch be received and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved, and the peti-
tion be received and filed. Seconded
by Councilman Brede. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior,
Schrempf.
Nays —None.
December 3rd, 1923.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A Mrs. Elizabeth Kep-
pler, who Is a poor widow living on
College street, came in to see if
there could not be a reduction made
in connection with the assessment
as levied against her lots. I have
investigated the matter and wish to
make the following report.
Mrs. Keppler owns Lots 21, 22 and
23, Newbury & Hale's Sub. Lot 21
is a vacant lot with a frontage of
40 feet and a width in the rear of
about seventy feet and a depth of
about one hundred and twelve feet.
Lot 22 is a 50 -foot lot on which is
a frame dwelling. Lot 23 is a 50-
foot lot on College street and fifty
feet along the alley in the rear and
a depth of about one hundred and
twenty feet.
I should estimate the Lot 21 to
be worth $500 with the improvement
in. The assessment against this lot
for the improvement of College St.
is $252.09, a total value of $752.09.
This assessment should be reduced
to $188.02. Lot 22 is assessed for
$245.99. The valuation is well in
excess of four times the amount of
the assessment. Lot 23 was assess-
ed $274.56. I would fix the value of
this property with the improvement
in at $824.56, or the value plus the
cost of the improvement, that is
$550.00 plus $274.56. One - fourth of
this amount is $206.14. This would
mean a reduction of $64.07 in the
assessment as levied against Lot 21
and $68.42 against Lot 23.
If this reduction meets with the
approval of the Council, 1 would
recommend that the City Auditor be
instructed to draw a warrant from
the general funds in favor of the
special improvement fund in the sum
of $132.40 in order to make up the
shortage in the special improvement
fund.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Gabriel moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved and carried

Councilman Gabriel moved that
the previous action taken on the
petition of Anna and Eva Stocks,
remonstrating against the assess -
ment for the construction of a sani-
tary sewer in West 16th street, be
rescinded. Seconded by Councilman
Brede. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior,
Schrempf.
Nays —None.
December 3rd, 1923.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the levying of the special assess-
ment for the sanitary sewer in West
16th street, I find that Lots 11, 12
and 13, Morgan's Sub., were assess-
ed on March 1st, 1900, for a sani-
Regular Session, December 3rd,
tary sewer. The amount assessed
against each lot at that time was
$29.40. The amount assessed at this
time is $94.81 against each lot.
Complaint was made by Eva
Stocks, the owner of Lot 13, of the
previous assessment, but no record
of the assessment was found in the
Engineer's office. In the Treasurer's
office this assessment i not carried
in the regular assessm nt books as
there were no bonds issued for it,
but the record is in a little separate
book and for that reason was over-
looked. My understanding is that
the owners of each of these lots
propose to connect with the 16th
street sewer.
We of course have no right to
assess them a second time for the
construction of a sewer, but at the
same time it would seem to me
that a charge should be made against
any one of these lots in case they
Iater connect with the West 16th
street sewer.
This is only fair in view of the
fact that the latter sewer was con-
structed at a cost of more than three
times what the one built in 1900
cost. I would recommend that the
assessment previously levied, of
$94.81 against the above three lots,
be cancelled and the City Auditor
be instructed to draw a warrant from
the General Fund in favor of the
Special Assessment Fund for $284.43
to make up for this shortage,
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

Gentlemen: I beg to report on pet-
ition of J. W. Neumeister, relative
to sewer and water connections to
lots 453 and 454 Ham's Addition.
Notice No. 744 was served on J.
W. Neumeister June 16th, 1921 by
C. J. McCarthy and return of service
shows that lots 453 and 454 above
referred to, were connected with
sewer and water and gas.
In April 1923, when the James F.
Lee Paving Co., started construction
on Lincoln avenue, the Engineering
Department discovered that no con-
nections were made to these lots.
Mr, Neumeister's attention was call-
ed to this condition and Mr. Lee was
ordered to make connections at once,
he having the contract for this work.
Mr. Neumeister had plenty of time
to make these connections from date
of serving the notice on June 16,
1921 to April, 1922, and as his report
showed connections made, Mr. Lee
was not ordered to connect. these
lots in 1921. The Engineering De-
partment refused to issue permits to
Mr. Burke or Mr. Neumeister as his
time to make connections himself had
expired on August 1st, 1921.
These are the facts in the ease and
I would recommend that the petition
be received and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER H. CULLEN,
City Engineer.
Councilman Gabriel moved that the
recommendation of the City Engin-
eer be approved and carried out as

Communication of H. R. Hanger
acting secretary of the meeting of
the following interests held Dec. 8th,
1923 at the Chamber of Commerce,
relative to the proposed Building
Code. Retail Merchants Bureau,
Master Builder's Assn., Dubuque Mfg.
Assn., Real Estate Owners, Banking
Interests, Chamber of Commerce,
Wholesale and Retail Lumbermen,
Wood Working Industries, Building
Material Men, Automobile Assn. At
this meeting the proposed Building
Code was discussed. It was the con -
census of opinion that the proposed
Code is of vital interest not only
to the industries represented, but the
City at large as well. It was further-
more agreed that considerable time
would be required to study the pro-
visions of this proposed code, and
it was deemed advisable to recom-
mend to the City Council that no
action be taken until the various in-
, terests had an opportunity to fam-
Special Session, December 10th, 1923 821
iliarize themselves with the provis-
ions of this code.
The interests represented as above
indicated, request the City Council
to refrain from taking any definite
action on this proposed code for the
time being and we would suggest
that the matter be deferred until
February lst, 1924. In the mean-
time representatives of this meeting
held today will take steps towards
securing data and information with
the view of assisting the code com-
mission in reviewing the proposed
code so that it will meet all require-
ments without working any unneces-
sary hardships on property owners.
Signed H. R. Hanger, Secretary Joint
Meeting.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A short time ago a
petition signed by Judge Maguire
and others, for the vacation of a
portion of the alley lying between
Alpine and Neveda streets and be-
tween Langworthy avenue and Solon
street was referred to the City
Manager for investigation and report
to the Council.
I have talked the matter over fur-
ther with Judge Maguire and would
suggest that instead of vacating a
portion of this alley that the alley
be relocated, taking the west 20 feet
of Lot 48, Julia Langworthy's Sub.,
and the north 20 feet of the same
lot for the turn to its present loca-
tion. Such a change would be satis-
factory to Judge Maguire and I be-
lieve to most of the other petitioners.
It would also be better if the con-
nection between the present alley
and the alley as relocated could be
run on a diagonal rather than re-
quiring to right angle turns in order
to make this turn. I think that
Special Session, December
probably this could be worked out
satisfactorily.
My recommendation would be that
on the dedication to the City of the
location of this alley, that the pres-
ent alley west of Lot 49 and 50 and
part of 51 be vacated and be re-
moved to the new location.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

a track to the company and also to
the public. The matter was left in
the hands of the City Solicitor to
draft an ordinance and present it to

To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The petition of Frank
R. Lacy asking for a reduction in
the assessment levied on November
20, 1923, against Lot 7, O. Taylor's
Subdivision in the sum of $157.01
and Lot 25 Taylor and Cooley's Sub-
division in the sum of $157.01 to pay
for the construction of a sanitary
sewer in Pleasant street, was refer-
red to the undersig for investi-
gation and report.
The principle ground of complaint
in this petition is directed to the fact
that the assessment is in excess of
the benefits conferred upon said lots
and also in excess of 25 per cent of
the actual value of said lots. We
beg to advise your Honorable Body
that, from an examination of the en-
tire matter we cannot agree with the
objector in either of his contentions
because we feel that the benefits de-
rived from the construction of the
sewer equal the assessment and also
that the amount of the assessment
are not in excess of 25 per cent of
the actual value of these lots on the
market today.
We therefore respectfully recom-
mend that the petition be received
and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
WALTER CULLEN,
City Engineer.
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Melchior moved that

To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The petition of Sis-
ters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin
Mary of St. Joseph, Dubuque, Du-
buque, Iowa, asking the cancellation
or reduction of the assessments
which have been levied against prop-
erty owned by them and described
in the petition, to pay for the im-
provement of Seminary street, have
been referred to the undersigned for
examination and report.
We beg to advise that this prop-
erty was assessed on account of the
intersection which is located immed-
iately west of this property and has
a very large area. In distributing
the cost of this intersection a rule
was adopted which provided the only
reasonable method of distribution of
this cost. We do not believe that
any fairer distribution could have
been made and yet we are aware of
the fact that the amounts of the as-
sessments appear to be rather heavy
but that is due to the fact that the
intersection is very large at this
place. We don't know of any rule
whereby this cost could be distribut-
ed in any other manner and neither
do we feel that this cost should be
born by the City as a whole because
the property which has been assessed
is being benefited by the improve-
ment in an amount equal to the as-
sessment. For this reason we are
830 Special Session, December 18th, 1923

ition be received and filed.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the meeting of the
Council held on December 10th, pet-
ition of Mrs. T. M. Cahill, protest-
ing against the assessment of $361.39
as levied against lot 20 O'Neill's Sub.
No. 2, was referred to the City Man-
ager for investigation and report.
1 beg to advise that the value of
this property as carried on the tax
rolls is $1,140.00. My judgment
would be that this property today is
worth not less than $3,000.00. That
being the case there are no grounds
for a reduction of an assessment of
$361.39. For that reason I would
recommend that the petition be re-
ceived and filed .

City Council,
rubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the meeting of the
City Council held on November 26th,
petition of Stella F. Sheridan, asking
for the vacation of the alley for a
distance of one hundred feet west
of Lots 1 and 2 and part of Lot 3
and east of Lot 47 in Sheridan's
Addition, was referred to the City
Manager.
This is that part of the alley run-
ning down from Davis avenue back
of the lots facing the corner of Wind-
sor and Davis avenue. This alley is
a continuous alley running parallel
to Windsor avenue through both
Sheridan and Burden and Lawther's
Additions.
My own judgment would be that
it would be a mistake to vacate any
portion of this alley. At the present
time, as I understand it, the property
is entirely unimproved and I know
of no immediate prospect of improv-
ing. If the people about to build
on some of these lots were desirous
of having the alley vacated the mat-
ter would seem rather different to
me but I can see no particular reas-
on for vacating an alley at this time
running through unimproved ter-
ritory
Respectfully submitted,

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Some time ago a pet-
ition of Mr. Hazelton, asking permis-
sion to tear up Hill street in order
to connect with sewer, water and
gas, was referred to the City Man-
ager. I have deferred reporting on
this matter on account of the fact
that there was an uncertainty about
the building going forward.
The contract for the building is
now let and the request to open the
street is repeated. I have investi-
gated and see no other way possible
to secure sewer, water and gas for
this building except through the open-
ing of Hill street and would there-
fore recommend that the permission
be granted, providing arrangements

City Council, •
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the assessment for sewer in Stafford
street and Pleasant street, I beg to
advise that Isadore Ehrlich is the
owner of Lots 1 and 2 in Taylor's
Sub. Lot 1 has a frontage of 119
feet on Stafford street and Lot 2 has
a frontage of 50 feet on Pleasant
street.
In levying the assessment Ehrlich
was assessed for a 150 foot frontage.
My personal thought is that an as-
sessment for 69 feet on Stafford
street and 50 feet on Pleasant street
would be fairer and more in accord-
ance with the benefits, as well as
the assessments as levied on the
other property.
If the Council concur in this re-
port, it would mean a reduction of
the assessment on Lot 1 Taylor's
Sub. of $48.68 which amount the city
will have to assume, the same being
paid out of the general funds of the
city.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Gabriel moved that
Mr. Ehrlich be given a reduction in
the assessment as levied in the sum
of $48.68 and the Auditor be instruct-
ed to draw a warrant for this amount
on the General Fund in favor of the
Special assessment fund to make up
this shortage. Seconded by Council-
man Melchior. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Yeas— Councilmen Brede, Gabriel,
and Melchior.

Absent —Mayor Alderson, Council-

Henry Becker addressed the Coun-
cil relative to the special assessment
as levied against lot 4 of sub. 144 for
the making of sewer and water con-
nections to this property on Fremont
street, stating that he had this mat-
ter before the Council and that they
reduced the ases`sment some, but that
it is still too high and he hereby
asks that the Council reduce this
another $50.00, he will pay the as-
sessment at once, as he thinks that
this will be nearer right, but still
a little high.
Councilman Melchior moved that
Mr. Becker be given another reduc-
tion of $50.00 on this assessment.

A petition of the Amalgamated
Sheet Metal Workers Union, asking
that the City Council delay action on
the Building Code now being con-

the code as written would increase
the cost of installing hot air furnace^
to such an extent that the average
home builder would be prohibited
from installing same, and it makes
installation of this class of furnaces
in houses already built, impossible.
City Manager Carr stated that he
had already notified the petitioner to
be present at the meeting of the
Council to be held Jan. 9th, 1924.
No further action taken.

shown on receipt as "Fund 356" cov-

He states that he, had never re-
ceived written notice, and only se-
cured telephone information on No-
vember 16th, 1923 and therefore be-

connections on the improvement of
Kirkwood street from the south line
of West Locust street to the east
line of Alta Vista street, presented.
Also a remonstrance against the
assessment as levied against lots 26
of 74A and 81A which the owner,
A. L. Rhomberg, claims are too low
to connect with sewer and water and
connections should not have been
made, also the rest of his lots abut-
ting on this street, connections
should have been made one connec-
tion for every two lots, claiming
that this was the understanding be-
tween himself and the Council. The
assessment as levied amounts • to
$1,249.40, he asks that this be reduced
to where it would be had the con-
nections been made as agreed upon.

when the waiver was signed by the
abutting property owners waiving the
regular formality as required by law
he did not sign the waiver, however
he does not object to the improve-

ment as placed against his property
is much higher than the value of the

pay $25 00 for each of the full lots

claims would be 25 per cent of the
