Andresen, Burch, Frith, Hird, Leist, Plamondon, Stro- bel. Mayor Frith pro -tem stated this meeting is called for the purpose of acting on the report of the special committee composed of City At- torney Czizek and C. C. Mead rela- tive to their investigation of the books of the Dubuque Electric Company, and acting on any other business that might properly come before a regular meeting of the City Council. March, 1. 1920. TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBUQUE. Gentlemen: The undersigned, the Committee appointed by your honorable body to investigate the accounts of the Du- buque Electric Company with the view to ascertain, as far as possible, the increased revenue acquired by the increase in street car fares granted on May 22, 1919, beg leave to report as follows: In assuming the responsibility placed upon us we took it for grant- ed that you did not expect us to make a detailed investigation of the company's books for any particular period of operation, but all that you intended us to do was to learn, as far as we were able, what income was derived by the company from the increase in fares granted to it on May 22, 1919. This we have done. We have also made an investigation of the company's income derived from passenger fares and tickets for the period commencing May 22,. 1918 and ending January 31, 1919, and we have compared this income with the income which the company received from the same source from May 22, 1919 up to January 31, 1920, this being the period during which the increase in fare has been in effect By taking these two periods we show what the increase in pas- sengers for the latter period was as compared with the former period. We show the number of passengers carried for the different fares and how much revenue was. We make these statements that in order that the scope of our investigation may be clear to you and also how our results have been attained. Number of passengers carried Special Session, March 1st, 1920 89 from May 22. 1918 to January 31, 1919 at the different fares. 2888808 at five cents (5c) $144,440.40 349963 at two and one half cents (2 . 87,709.07 3238771 $153,189.47 Number of passengers carried from May 22, 1919 to January 31, 1920 at the different fares. 3,013,264 at six and a quarter cents (6 $188,329.00 579,031 at seven cents (7c) 40,532.17 207,491 (from May to Oct. 1) at 2 5,187.27 3,799,786 $234,048.44 RECAPITULATION. Passengers carried from May 22, 1918 to January 31,1919 - 3,238,771 Passengers carried from May 22, 1919 to January 31,1920- 3,799,786 Passenger Gain in 1919 .... 561,015 Income from fares from May 22, 1918 to Jan. 31, 1919 153,189.47 Income from fares from May 22, 1919 to Jan 31, 1920 234,048.44 Revenue gain in 1919 ..$ 80,858.97 On May 22, 1919 the company was permitted to increase its fares from rive cents to seven cents cash fare or to six and one - quarter cents ticket fare, and this action was taken by council in order to avert a threatened strike of the street car men and this method was adopted to provide revenue sufficient to pay wage increases and it seems that have been the understanding that the company was to pay the increase out of the additional revenue thus acquired. The increase received by the company, based upon the above figures would be as follows: 579,031 at two cents ...$11,580.62 3,013,264 at one and one quarter cents 37,665.80 Amount secured by increase in fares $49,246.42 This last amount represents what the company made from the differ- ence in fare allowed. But as is here- in before shown the total gain from the entire fare was $80,858.97. The company claims that it paid out in increased wages the sum of $43,000.00 and reducing the net in- come which was received from the increase in fares alone, amounting to $49,246.42 leaves a net balance of $6,246.42. This leaves in the hands of the company unexpended the sum of $6,246.42. 88 and 14 in said Block 17; also Cypress street from Cedar street, south westerly to Pine street, and Whereas, Morrison Bros. make the statement that the use of said streets and alleys is necessary for the successful operation of their business, and that buildings have been upon said streets for a great many years last past, and Whereas, said streets and alleys have not been opened up and are of no practical use to any other firm or corporation, and do not interfere with the rights of any other person, and Whereas, said Morrison Bros. con- template expending large sums of money in the erection of buildings and improvements upon said above described lots, streets and alleys, and Whereas, the City Council feels that the use of said streets and al- leys is absolutely necessary to Mor- rison Bros. for the successful promo- tion of their busine s; now therefore Be It Ordained b the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque.

To the Honorable Mayor and Mem- bers of the City Council; Gentlemen: I beg to report teat I have examined the petition of Na- than McClain, relative to being al- lowed a Soldiers Exemption while in service in the U. S. Army, and find the facts as stated in his petition are true and correct, so if the Law so states that a soldier or sailor is en- titled to have his taxes exempted while in service in the U. S. Army, the above mentioned Nathan Mc- Clain should have his one -half inter- est exempted in the following ues- cribed property, Sub. M. L. 149 East 25 ft. of Lot 7, Sub. M. L. 149 Lot 8, Sub. 2 of 5 of M. L. 149 East 25 ft. of Lot 1, Sub. 2 of 5 of M. L. 149 South 20 ft. of Lot 1, and Sub 14 and 15 Bush's Sub.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: Gentlemen: I beg to report that I have ex- amined the petition of Stanley N. Meyer relative to a Soldiers Ex- emption on his 1919 taxes, while he was in service of the U. S. Army, and find that the facts as stated in his petition are true and correct, he being the owner of Lot 24 Oxford Heights Add., also a personal valua- tion of $1,500.00 on Merchandise. So if the Law so states that a soldier is entitled to an exemption of his taxes while in service of the U. S. Army, he should be granted the exemption as asked for in his petition. Respectfully submitted, PETER J. KIES, City Assessor. On motion of Ald. Leist the report of the City Assessor was approved and the City Treasurer instructed accordingly. Dubuque, Iowa, Feb. 28th 1920. To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council. Gentlemen: I beg to report that I have ex- amined the petition of W. J. Brown, relative to an over charge on the 1918 tax, on Mineral Lot 128, and find that the above mentioned Min- eral Lot 128, was tarred to the John Deery estate in 1918, under two descriptions, the west two - thirds of Mineral Lot 128, valuation for 1918 tax was $600.00, and the undivided one -half of the east one -third of Mineral Lot 128 was carried for a valuation of $1,740.00 for the 1918 tax, so there is no doubt in my mind but that this $1,740.00 valuation car- ried against the undivided one -half of the east one -third is an error, and the valuation should of been carried for $170.00 for the 1918 tax, so the $21.98 which he. states in his petition, as being an over - charge is correct, as he paid $24.36 on the un -I divided one -half of the east one -third of Mineral Lot 128 for 1918 tax, whereas the tax for 1918 on this un- divided one -half interest in the east one -third of Mineral Lot 128, should have been $2.38, so the Deery estate overpaid on the above mentioned part of Lot $21.98 on the 1918 taxes. Respectfully submitted, PETER J. KIES, City Assessor. On motion of Ald. Strobel the report of the City Assessor was ap- proved and the City Recorder in- structed to draw a warrant in the sum of $21.98 in favor of W. J. Brown, agent John Deery estate. Dubuque, Iowa, March 2nd 1920. To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council. Gentlemen: I beg to report that I have ex- amined the petition of Mary and Josephine Wolfie relative to a re- duction in taxes on the south 32 feet 4 inches of the south 66 feet of the south two -fifths of City Lot 446, and find that valuation as stated in their petition was placed on the above mentioned piece of property in 1914, the year that the Somers' System made a revaluation of all City property, and has been carried Regular Session, March 4th, 1920 95 every year for the same valuation ($5,950.00) since 1914.

They then took up the question of the one -man "safety car" and found after a thorough in- vestigation these cars would mean a solution to the problem by taking less men to operate them, quicker service to the public and more cars in operation, and would ultimately *mean a 60c wage scale to the oper- ators of the one -man "safety cars" and, providing the men accept the wage scale submitted to them, and the City Council repeal the ordinance regulating the number of men re- quired to operate street cars for pub- lic service in ,the City of Dubuque, he company are in a position to start operating street cars tomorrow, and as chairman of this committee rec- ommended that the City Council re- peal this ordinance.

Hon. James Saul, Mayor. Dubuque, Iowa. Dear Sir: We wish to acknowledge service of the resolution passed by the City Council, March 1920, notifying us to "effect a settlement with our em- ployes and proceed to operate our street cars within twenty -four hours from reecipt of notice." The report of the Civic Committee appointed by you to investigate our affairs informs you Honorable' Body that we are unable to pay the men "under present circumstances" the wage demanded, and we have asked you, who can change those "preSl ut circumstances" to make it possible for us to 'offer our employes an ac- ceptable wage. Towards that end your Honorable Body has up to this time extended no relief, so that it is still impossible, as the recent Committee reported, to offer the men anything beyond the propositions previously submitted by us, and refused by them, if considera- tion is given the financial condition that is imperative, if we are to render the service that is due the people of Dubuue. Very respectfully, Dubuque Electric Company. By H. B. Maynard, Vice President. On motion of Ald. Strobel the com- munication' was made a matter of record. . Ald. Burch offered the following: Resolved, That the City Attorney be instructed to take such legal steps against the Dubuque Electric Company necessary to bring the street car strike with its employes to a speedy end, commence operation of its street cars on its lines and to protect the rights of the citizens of Dubuque.

Petition of the Dubuque Retail Merchants Association taken just taken from the Committee of the Whole as follows: Dubuque, Iowa. March, 15 1920 To the City Council, City of Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa. The executive Board of the Du- buque Retail Merchants Association has considered very carefully the situation in Dubuque created by the existing street car strike. It has become apparant that action must be taken as soon as possible to al- leviate the conditions brought about by this strike. The Executive Board therefore desires to express to the City Council their opinion that the existence of the Ordinance on the statute books of the City prohibit- ing the operation of one -man safety cars is at the present time standing in the way of a settlement of the present strike more than any other one thing. They do therefore earn- estly urge the City Council to im- mediately repeal the Ordinance pro- hibiting the operation of one -man safety cars in this City and from that point on make the utmost speed in bringing about a settlement of the existing strike. Respectfully submitted, Dubuque Retail Merchants Associa- tion. R. M. Plaister, Secretary. Presented and read. Ald.
