In the matter of the garbage dump
we would most respectfully report the
following:
Upon the accompanying sketch .is
shown a. plan for raising the present
platform six feet high and extending
the same six feet further over the wa-
ter.
This would, in our opinion, be angle
le
for all ordinary occasions. The esti-
mated cost of raising the platforf m
and extending same and building fence
to protect the sides of platform, for
labor and material is one hundred. and
twenty-five (5125) dollars.•, To raise.the
levee up to the present height of Rail-
road avenue from that point to the
dump will require about 2,500 cubic
yards of filling at a cost of 20 cts • pier
yard including the riprapping, making
cost of 1500 and a total cost of 1626.00
Ald. McEvoy moved that the. report

Mayor Duffy deliv?red the following
inaugural address.
Gentlemen of the City Council: We
are at the close of one year's official
service and at the opening of another.
To -day the present council transfers the
guardianship of our city's interest to
its successor. The record of the former
:s made, that of the latter is to be made.
There is much in the record of the re-
tiring council to which it may look with
satisfaction. Notwithstanding the many
embarrassments that beset It from the
beginning of its term to the last days
it has accomplished much for which it
deserves credit and but little for which
it justly merits reproach. In the face
of a monetary stringency that appalled
the most experienced financiers of the
country—while banks were closing their
doors every week—when the business
man retired at night apprehensive of
what the morning might bring forth,
it succeeded in refunding $360,000 twen-
ty year bonds bearing 6 per cent. inter-
est at 4 per cent., thus saving to the
city annually $7,200 and a total of $144,-
000 for the twenty years the bonds have
-to run. It has also prepared the way
for placing $26,000 bonds now drawing
5 per cent. interest at 4 per cent., mak-
ing a further saving of $260 annually
in the interest account, the frightful
burden heretofore of over $200 for every
day of the year which the property
owners of this city have had to bear.
The pleasure afforded by the accom-
plishment of this good work is to a con-
siderable degree diminished by causes
over which the council had but little
or no control. Such an inheritance of
about $25,000 of obligations incurred
under previous councils and paid by
the present; the frightful ravages made
on cur streets by three floods in quick
succession, the destructiveness of which
has never been equaled in this city, and
the falling off in licenses and taxes as
the result of scarcity of money. Not-
withstanding all these obstacles the
credit of our cityhassbeentestae eblliished
in the inoney
t so
frmly that with prudent management
of its affairs In the future there will
be no difficulty in refunding the remain-
ing bonds at a rate of interest that will
72
Regular Se&, ion, April 8, 1897.
save a large amount for the people.
The retiring members of the council
should carry with them the regard of
the people as they do the esteem of
those who were associated with them
officially. Before parting with them I
desire to make acknowledgment for the
courteous treatment I have always
been accorded by them and their cheer-
ful co-operation with me in my efforts
to do what seemed to me best for the
public good. I desire in this public
manner to entend my thanks to Alder-
man Ryder, whose services as chairman
of the finance committee, were of more
•ralue to the city than the public will
ever know. I have abundant occasion
to fe^l n -.y obligations to him when I
remember the trying ordeal through
which he passed last summer and fall.
His retirement from this council cham-
ber is a loss to this city, whose best
itterests he never lost sight of.
To the members of the new council I
will repeat that its record is to be made.
I wish to impress upon them that the
people have selected them to transact
their public business for them and they
look to them as they do to me for a
faithful performance of that trust. They
do not expect anything unreasonable
and they will hold us to a strict ac-
count for the manner in which we dis-
charge that trust. If we do our duty
and are unjustly censured we will have
the consolation that ignorance or un-
worthy motives inspired the censure.
It is our clear duty to watch over
every interest intrusted to us with the
same care and vigilance that we would
bestow on our own business. We should
see need for the expenditure of every
dollar to be spent and not spend one
dollar unless that need exists. A suc-
cessful business man who accumulated
a fortune honestly had for a motto,
"Take care of the cents and the dollars
will take care of themselves." If we
take care of the small sums, the large
sums will take care of themselves. It
is the few dollars spent here and there,
but in multiplied places, which go to
make the aggregate that hangs like a
load of lead on the shoulders of the
property owners large and small. Little
streams make the river. Many of them
make the destructive flood. Guard even
the smallest outlays in every possible
way, a hogshead may be emptied
through a gimlet hole. That you may
be able to do so I will make some sug-
gestions which may be of value to you,
and you will find facts and figures in
the reports of officers embodied in the
report of the finance committe, sub-
mitted to the council today, which will
be worthy of your careful study.
The great drain upon the resources
of our city Is caused by the street work,
the cost of which to my mind is greatly
increased by a system which I believe
is defective and can be remedied. At
present the entire street work of this
city, covering over forty-five miles of
paved and macadamized streets, is in-
•
...............
•
trusted to one street commissioner. It
would be a herculean task if our city
was level as a prairie, but when we con-
sider that from Eagle Point to Mount
Carmel we are hemmed in by hills that
are penetrated and reached by macad-
amized streets of such steep ascent that
the floods that sometimes come wipe
many of them almost out of existence.
it becomes apparent at once that no
man. be he ever so capable, is equal to
the demands upon him.
The new code offers a remedy for this
evil by providing that cities like this
and other special charter cities be di-
vided in districts for street repairing
and cleaning. I would suggest to the
council, to anticipate the state lav, by
dividing this city into as many districts
for street work as it may deem best.
Such districts placed under the care of
a competent foreman will be far better
and more cheaply taken care of than
can be possibly done under the present
system, more expeditiously and with
less waste of time. When the new
method is properly established the ser-
vices of a street commissioner might be
dispensed with.
It appears to be that there is no ne-
cessity for what is known as a sewer
inspector. If the charge of the sewers
were placed where it properly belongs.
under the control of the engineer's de-
partment that work would be better
done and at much less cost than now,
aside from the salary paid to the in-
spector.
Another saving that can be made
without any detriment to the public
service is by dispensing with the ser-
vices of a deputy marshal. I do not
believe such an officer is needed and
no officer should be employed who is
not needed.
Care should be exercised in the ap-
pointment of such officers as you con-
scientiously believe to be necessary and
no man should be chosen from any
other consideration than that of fitness
for the work to do and merit. By all
means look well to it that you do not
place upon the pay rolls of the city by
your appointment any man who is not
strictly a sober and moral man and
worthy of confidence and respect. You
would not take such a man into your
private employ—it falls little short of
infidelity to your obligation under oath
to employ such a man to serve the peo-
ple.
These suggestions may tend to bring
others to your minds. And let me say
here that if the mayor is to be held re-
sponsible for every outlay that is made,
it Is only fair to him that he be ap-
prised of it before it is made that he
may give it proper attention. No com-
mittee member should authorize the
expenditure of money without the
knowledge and consent of the commit-
tee; and no committee should expend a
dollar without the knowledge and con-
sent of the council. Discussion of com-
mittee matters In the council will stop
Regular Se88ion, April 8, 1897

many leaks and the good effect will be
seen in the summing up of the expense
account for t•he year.
Our duty to save all we can Is plain
to the end that the burden of taxation
may be lightened for our people. They
expect of us only to do our duty. They
have expressed their good will for us
by electing us to office. I feel that you
will do your duty, and I should be an
ingrate if I failed to use my best ef-
forts to do mine. I cannot be insensi-
ble to the evidence of confidence our fel
low -citizens repose in us by re-electing
me to the office on which I enter today
for the second term under conditions
that enhance my obligation and in-
crease my gratitude to the many who
feel so kindly toward me. We owe a
joint debt to the people which we
should strain every effort to pay. To
that end we must work together. I
pledge you my cheerful assistance and,
gentlemen of the council, I ask yours
and expect it in return. Respectfully,
T. T. DUFFY, Mayor.

The mayor submitted the following
remarks and standing committees.
Gentlemen of the City Council:
I .herewith submit to you the commit-
tees which it is part of my duty to ar-
range. I have thought it advisable to
increase the number of members of the
committee on claims from three to five
because the work that comes before
that committee always involves the pay
ment of money and much may be saved
to the city by thorough and careful
investigation or lost for want of mature
consideration, which often leads to an-
noying and expensive litigation.
I have reduced the committee on har-
bors from five to three members be-
cause It appears to me that three are
sufficient.
I have also thought best to dispense
with a second physician on the board of
health and appoint a citizen member
as I believe the law Intends, because I
do not see any need of two physicians
on the board and wish to save the ex-
tra expense created by the appoint-
ment of two.
I have found much difficulty In ar-
ranging the committees to my entire
satisfaction, for reasons which will be
manifest to you ,and may have made
mistakes in placing the dhairman of
some of them. Should I discover such
to be the case it will become my duty at
once to make such change as I may find
advisable.
The following are the committees:
Finance—Berg, Dennert, McEvoy.
Ordinance—Crawford, Dennert and
Stafford.
Claims—Stafford, Cullen, Albrecht,
Crawford and Thomas.
Streets—Cullen, Lagen, Albre2ht,
Crawford, Dennert.

Dubuque, Iowa, June 10, 1897.
To the 'Members of the City Council:
Gentlemen: I desire to call your at-
tention to some maters in connection
with the pay roll for the month of April
last and ask you to determine whether
they are not of sufficient importance to
merit careful consideration by your hln keeper O'Connell for part of the month,
orable body.
I learned :hat a warrant for the sum and say that: the naives found there are
of $52.50 which had been drawn in favor the men who worked for them. Mr.
O'Connell's book, from which the pay
roll was made out, can not be found. I
have examined all the books of the fore
men that were procured and failed to
find the name of the teamster J. Meyer
or the other men on any one of them.
The street commissioner has no
knowledge of them. I have been able
to locate only one of •them. - This man
says he did work in the month of April
and he did give an order jointly with
another to the man who drew :he war-
rant, who also presented orders to the
auditor for the ether seven warrants.
I have also found a few names on the
books to whom more is credited on the
pay roll than the time books of the fore
men show.
I have refrained from giving any
I sent for the second party who said names here, further than was neces-
sary to make this statement clear, be-
cause I have no intention or wish ':o ac-
cuse anybody of actingwrongfully un-
til there is conclusive evidence to that
effect.
You will remember at the regular
same man, who had the order from
Meyer.
I had the time books of all the fore-
men collected except Peter Wertin's,
which was delivered to Mr. Haggerty
that Time -keeper O'Connell might get
the names on it for the monthly pay
roll, which he says was not returned to
him.
Also the book of P. Quinn and Pat
Breen, foremen, the last of which was
mislaid. Both of these have examined
names found in another book of Time -
of one J. Meyer, a teamster, had been
called for at the auditor's office by dif-
ferent parties other than Meyer to
whom Auditor McCarten properly refus
ed to deliver it. I then directed him
not ':o surrender tha: warrant to any-
body until k was ascertained who the
rightful owner is. Within a few days
afterward the warrant was called for
again by one man and shortly after-
ward by another. Each had an order
for the warrant purporting to have
been signed by J. Meyer. On being in-
formed of :his I sent for the first party
who told me chat he had been sent for
the warrant with an order from tete sec
and party, his employers, but that he
had no interest in the warrant or any
knowledge of Meyer
he had given his employe :he order he
had received from another party and
had presented that order for the war-
rant. He said it was drawn in his
own favor and signed by J. ,Meyer; that
he knew nothing about Meyer and nev-
er had any dealings with him, and that May term I called your attention to the

stake amounting to $20.00 is
asked him if yhe panty,,who gave him
the order did not have one also from
Meyer. He said he thotiiht he had. I
told him I would like to have himbring
me that order, the one given to him hav
ing been torn up by the man who gave
it to him and he said he would if he
had got an order for the warra
hle to himself and had advanced him on
ly fifty cents on it. That he had drawn
the order himself making the warrant
payable to the second man and signed
Meyer's name to It. He said he had an or
der in his own favor from Meyer. He
learned from the time -keeper that Mey-
er had money due him for teaming dur-
ing :he month of April. The warrant
is still in the auditor's office.
Ald. 'McEvoy had given me a list
containing nine names which the audi-
tor had handed to him as the names of
men that had not appeared on the pay
roll before. Eight of them were on the
pay roll as laborers in amounts ranging
from $18.90 to $28.35 and one teamster
for the sum of $41.25. These, amount-
ing to $227.55, had all been drawn by the
likely to be made in the pay of two men
It is easy to see that the pay rolls
should be scrutinized by other than the
one who does the work before it is pro-
nounced correct and orders drawn for
the amounts therein stated. The street
commissioner informs me that the pay
rolls were never signed by him, much
less submitted to him, before presenta-
tion in the council, the committee clerk
rk
signing his name when signed,
whiwas not always done.
I have had Committee Clerk

salaries not stated in time books, also
pay of J. Driscoll and Peter Wertin,
which would appear on his book, mak-
ing the sum of $7,519.85, making an ex-
cess in the pay roll of $825.65 over the
time books of the foremen.
I also find on the pay roll sums
amounting to $161.00 due masons whose
names do not appear on the time books
of the foremen. Street Commissioner
Hagerty says they did the work credit-
ed to them. Deducting the amount of
$161.50 from $825.65 it heaves a discrep-
ancy of $664.65 still to 'be accounted for.
How far Mr. Wertin's book, if found,
may do that I am unable to say. He
told me he did not have many men and
teams working for him on short jobs.
If it is possible that such discrepancy
as this may result from mistakes in one
month, it behooves us to take measures
to guard against :t in the future. If It
is •the result of wrongful acts on the
part of anybody, our duty is the more
imperative to guard the people against
such dishonesty by an earnest and hon-
est endeavor to get the truth, however
disagreeable It may be.
I have aimed to learn what I could,
as quietly as possible, for your consid-
eration of facts justifying my calling
your attention to them, that nobody
might me accused or even suspected
without cause. Notwithstanding my
efforts, it was made known publicly
that I was engaged in investigating
some things. There was nothing lost
in the telling of the story and the peo-
ple became alarmed •as well as deeply
interested, and now properly demand
that proper attention be given to the
matter. It :s their right. They will
be pleased I feel, as I know I will, if the
facts prove to 'be Mr different from
what there now seems to be reason to
fear.
I have done my duty in presenting
this communication to you. I ask you
to do what :n your best judgment, the
importance of the matter demands. To
that end I recommend that you appoint
a committee to carefully investigate it
and that your conclusions may not be
charged with ib:as or a desire to evade
such an inquiry, I suggest to you that
you invite a committee of your fellow
citizens, who will be influenced only by
a desire to learn the truth, to assist you.
Respectfully submitted,
T. T. DUFFY, Mayor.

Ald. Crawford, chairman of the or-
dinance committee, reported as follows:
To the City Council of the City of
Dubuque:
Your comm'ttee on ordinances, to
whom was referred the petition of the
Dubuque Street Railway c-mrany for
an extension of its charter for seventy-
five years from the time of the expira-
tion of its present franchise, with in-
structions to prepare and report an or-
dinance in accordance with the petit'on
respectfully submit the following re-
port:
In undertaking to carry out the in-
structions of the council we first care-
fully considered the ordinance submit-
ted by the street railway company
which we found to be very inadequate
and lacking many prov'sions necessary
to preserve the rights and interests of
the city, and we have, therefore, re-
written it and prepared an entirely new
ordinance, which is herewith submitted.
The ordinance reported contains sey-
eral new provisions intended for the
benefit of the city, which are as follows,
to -wit: The right of the city to pur-
chase the entire plant of the Dubuque
Street Railway and proposed park at
any time after April 25th, 1915, at an
approved valuation.
The right of the city to impose a li-
cense on each car used by the company
at any time after the city shall have
attained a population of 75.000.
That the company shall carry all po
!icemen and firemen when in uniform
free of charge.
All present existing regulations and
conditions are preserved and kept in
force by special provisions, which are
very numerous and generally stringent.
All the conditions and requirements
of the entire ordinance are made as
strong and binding as possible.
Unless the company shall extend its
railway to Sageville and crea'e and es-
tablish a public park and lake for a
pleasure resort within three years, the
grant of the extension of its charter
will become entirely null and void.
If the extension of charter, contained
in the ordinance. enables' the company
to dispose of its bonds, it will bring
several hundred thousand dollars of •
foreign money into our city to be ex-
pended in the making of the proposed
improvements and in the creation of
the grandest and most b"autiful resort
in the west, Just beyond our city limits.
Many persons believe that the rail-
way company will never carry out their
proposed enterprise and improvements,
If it does not, then the proposed exten-
sion of charter will not take effect.
If. however, the railway company
shall fully carry out its agreements and
comply with all conditions, as it is
compelled to do by the ordinance and
create a beautiful and convenient
pleasure resort, open to the public,
which any citizen may visit for ten
cents, and extend its line of railway to
its limits, we think the city «•ill be
fully compensated for the concession
proposed to be made.
The reservation by the city of the
right to purchase the park and railway
system. after about eighteen years, at
an appraised value. will enable the city
to acquire a park of its own. including
the lake, and the street railway to be
owned and controlled by the city, if the
citizens of Dubuque shall consider it to
be for their interest to make the in-
vestment. Respectfully submitted.
P. W. CRAWFORD,
FRANK DENNERT.

of the Dubuque Street Railway com-
pany to lay its tracks and to maintain

lows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: You have submitted to
me, for an opinion, the question as to
city's right to license bicycles, and I
herewith submit my report as follows:
The city has the right to license all
bicycles used for hire in the city, but
has no right to impose a license on oth-
er bicycles. However, the city, where
a person makes the renting of bicycles
his principal business has the right to
license the bicycles so used.

stantly keep on hand at its principal of-
fice half fare tickets for sale to laborers,
mechanics and workwomen and girls at

ing, for passage one way from one ex-
treme point of its line of railway to the

pany, and that in case of any failure on
its part to comply with said conditions,
the grant of said extension of franchise
shall become null and void, and the city
council may by resolution declare the

a substantial breach or violation of any
of the provisions of this ordinance shall
have been committed, shall be deter-
mined by the judicial declaration of a
court of competent jurisdiction before a
forfeiture of the rights of said company
under this ordinance shall be declared
by the city council.
We also recommend that sections
twelve (12) and thirteen (13) in the ori-

All Crawford moved to take up the re
port of the April pay roll investigating
committee. Carred. The report was
read as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Dubuque: Your committee
appointed to investigate alleged irreg-
ularities in the city pay roll, beg leave
to report -as follows:
Our first work was to compare the
April pay roll with the time books kept
by the street foreman and street com-
missioner. These books were all pro-
duced with the exception of Peter Wer -
tin's hook, which could not be found.
Committee Clerk O'Connell's hook,
which contained all the names alpha-
betically arranged, is also missing.
We find forty-nine names on the
April pay roll, which do not appear on
the time book. and for which warrants
have been drawn amounting to $599.6Q.
Mr. Wertin was able to identify nine of
these names as being on his book: the
remainder are unaccounted for.
We also found ninety-three names on
the pay roll for amounts in excess of
time hooks. The total sum of pay roll
in excess of time books for such names
is $396. Wertin's time book would pro-
bably account for a few of these names.
some men having worked with him, and
also with other foremen during the
month. Some of these discrepancies
are no doubt due to corrections in
March pay roll, some laborers not hav-
ing been given full credit for March,
and the ba:ance duethem was added to
the April pay. thus showing more on the
pay roll than on the time hooks, but
where this is the case the March time
honks should show to the laborer's credit
correspondingly more than the pay roll,
and the accounts for both months
should balance. Several such cases
were discovered, but much the larger
part of the discrepancies remain unex-
plained.
Your committee decided that it would
be impossible within any reasonable lim
it of time to thoroughly investigate all
of these discrepancies. It, therefore,
selected from the list several names for
special attention: which being for large
sums would be more likely to be remem
tiered by the foremen and street com-
missioner and by Mr. O'Connell, who
made up the pay roll. All the fore-
men (who also act as time keepers)
were separately brought before the corn
mittee and questioned, and not one of
them, except Peter Wertin, knew any of
the following persons whose names are
on the pay roll: R. Bradley, J. Dona-
hue, John Fitzpatrick, J. Fenton, J.
Gelb. R. Hansen, H. Mullens. P. Welch,
J. Smith, J. Myer, Pat Sullivan, Wm.
Moore.
1112
Regular Session, July 8, 1897.
Mr. Wertin identified two—Fitzpat-
rick and Gelb—as working for him in
April. Geib could not be found, but
Fitzpatrick was brought before the com
mittee. He told a rambling, incoher-
ent story, much of which was utterly
disproved by other witnesses. He is on
the hay roll for fifteen day's time, but
his memory was so poor that he could
not remember the names of but two
men who worked with him. These were
Lanty Cahill and J. Geib. Cahill was
called and denied that he and Fitzpat-
rick had worked together, and no other
witnesses who worked w.:th Wertin in
April remembered Fitzpatrick working.
This evidence, combined with Fitzpat-
rick's evasive and contradictory ans-
wers, his assumed stupidity and ina-
bility to recollect on which particular
part of a street he worked, how long he
worked, what he was doing, who was
with him. or any other important fact.
convinced your committee that If he did
any work at all for the city in April it
was only a very small amount, possibly
three or four days. Both he and Geib
gave an order to Mr. Tim Shea, whom
they owed for board, which reads as
follows:
April 3, 1897.
Please pay Tim Shea for my time in
the month of April as he advanced me
the :noney.
John Fitzpatrick,
John Gelb."
Very little of the work could have
been done at that date. On this order
Mr. Shea drew $20.25 for Fitzpatrick
and $20.25 for Gieb, these amounts be-
ing to their credit on the pay roll. Who
handed in their time we cannot learn.
It may or may not be on Wertin's book,
which is missing.
Thus far the investigation has re-
vealed the fact that there were on the
pay roll for large sums several names
which do not appear in the city direc-
tory, and which nobody knew, and it
seems clear that gross errors or frauds,
and probably both had been committed
It also appeared difficult to undedatand
how errors to any great extent could
occur which Messrs. O'Connell or Hag-
erty should not be able to explain, and
that no frauds of any magnitude could
be perpetrated without their knowledge
or connivance. It was, therefore, hoped
that their evidence would throw some
light upon the subject. Whether it did
en or not your honorable body may be
able to decide after reading the replies
to questions asked by the committee. A
condensed report of all the testim)ny
taken is herewith submitted for your
consideration.
Committee Clerk O'Connell was non-
committal and evasive in all his re-
plies, and his lack of memory was so
marked that it confirmed the suspicion
of his having knowledge which he wish-
ed to conceal. Substantially the only
fact developed by his answers was the
prevalence of a loose system of time
keeping. To all questions as to who
handed in the time of any of the forty-
nine names on the pay roll and not on
time books his invariable reply was: "I
don't know; it must have been handed
in by somebody." As O'Connell took
all the time handed in, except that on
the time keepers' books, as he had held
the position of committee clerk for six
or seven years and is better acquainted
with the men who work for the city'
than perhaps any other man in the city,
it seems incredible that so many fictiti-
ous names should appear on the pay roll
without his knowledge. Your commit-
tee, however. wished to give him the
benefit ci° every doubt,so it furnished him
a list of names on pay roll and not on
time books, and also of names on pay
roll for more than on time books, and
requested him to look the parties up
and get an. explanation from them if
possible and report at a later meeting.
He promised to do so and four or five
days later he was called again, and ad-
mitted that he had been unable to ob-
tain any information which would ex-
plain the discrepancies. Mr. O'Connell
has the list of names and promised to
report anything he learned which would
throw light upon the subject, but so far
has failed to do so. Until some expla-
nation is forthcoming, the evidence of
his connnivance in the frauds, while not
positive, is too strong to justify this
committee in doubting it.
Mr. Hagerty as a witness was a de-
cided contrast to Mr. O'Connell He was
bold, positive, contradictory and defi-
ant in his statements. O'Connell told
too little. Hagerty told too much. He
seemed to think he must pretend to
know some of the fictitious names on
the pay roll to account for their being
there, so he told an uncorroborated
story of hiring a man named Myer,with
a new wagon box. and never seeing
him again, and of giving Fitzpatrick
work because he was a friend, though
the Latter said that Wertin hired him
and that he only knows Hagerty by
sight, and does not remember of speak-
ing to him more than once or twice.
In a clumsy attempt to account for er-
rors Mr. Hagerty said that O'Connell
went around and took some of the time
in April and that some of this same
time might also have appeared on the
foreman's book. Every foreman and
O'Connell himself had previously testi-
fled that he (O'Connell) did not go out
on the streets in April and took no
time whatever. But the most serious
assaults upon Mr. Hagerty's veracity
were made by himself. In his first ex-
amination he was asked if his time
book contained any time that was on
the books of other time keepers and
he answered "No," explaining at length
that he kept only the time of men
whom he had working here and there.
by themselves, or with no foreman over
them. At the second examination he
declared just as emphatically that he
often went around and copied time
from the foreman's books into his
own. When asked if he handed In this
time to O'Connell he said he did, and
-'1
Regular Session, July 8, 1897

to the question if O'Connell in making
up the pay roll would not find the same
man's time on both books, and give
him too much credit, he explained that
the dates would be there, and O'Connell
would know by the dates and would
give the man credit only for what was
on the foreman's books. This evidence
was apparently offered for the purpose
of showing that any discrepancies or
errors were due to the faulty system,
rather than to an intent to defraud.
O'Connell, who was brought into the
room at this juncture, and heard the
statement, corroborated it, and said he
often found it that way and had to be
very careful, in making up the payroll,
to pick out of Hagerty's book all time
that was on the foreman's books. A
comparison of Hagerty's book with the
foremen's books for April fails to veri-
fy these statements. When Hagerty
was confronted with his former posi-
tive statement that he put in his book
only the time of men who had no other
time keeper, he denied having said It,
and intimated that the record lied. He
weakened on that point, however, and
said if he had expected the committee
would ask such fool questions he would
have thought longer before answering,
and he asked to have his evidence eras-
ed and the examination begun over
again.
The name of J. Kerwin appears on
Hagerty's book for the month of March
thirteen days and April twelve days.
Only one J. Kerwin can be found in the
city and he did not work for the
city in either month. When confronted
with Mr. Kerwin and asked to explain,
Mr. Hagerty said it was another Ker-
win, a stranger to him; he thought he
lived in the upper part of the city, but
did not know where; he thought he was
a railroad man; thought he had moved
away; hadn't seen him since April.
When questioned how he came to give
so much work to strangers, he said
this man begged for work, said he had
a suffering family, and he wanted to
get money enough to move out of town.
This is all the information we could
get from Hagerty and no one else could
be found who knew anything about
Kerwin. Mr. Hagerty could not re-
member the names of any other men
who worked with Kerwin. In view of
the fact that Kerwin's warrant for
twelve days' work in April remains in
the auditor's office uncalled for, not-
withstanding the extreme poverty of
this
the man described by Hagerty,
committee has grave doubts whether
any J. Kerwin worked for the city dur-
ing that month. It also believes Ker -
win's name was placed on
time book to defraud the city, and that
the amount paid for work in March was
not earned by T. Kerwin; neither did
anyone of that name collect the money.
As Street Commissioner Hagerty him-
self reported the time for J. Kerwin,
unless he can produce him or satisfac-
torily account for him this committee
is constrained to believe that in this
cause a fraud has been perpetrated.
There are several other things connect -.
ed with the time keeping and pay roll
for which Mr. Hagerty is responsible.
For instance, he admits having taken
the books of some of the foremen, and
inserted the names and time of men
who had not worked for such foremen.
When questioned as to his motives, he
boasted that he had a right to do as he
pleased and If any foreman had ob-
jected "he would have got the worst
of it." When questioned as to his mo-
tives in giving single men like Fitzpat-
rick, and stangers. employment, not-
withstanding the well known policy of
the council to the contrary, he said
when a friend asked him to give a
man work he always gave it.
The whole evidence of Mr. Hagerty
shows that he considers it his chief
duty as street commissioner to see that
his friends and his friends' friends are
on the city pay roll.
As the pay for a majority of the
names on the pay roll for large
amounts and which are not on time
books was drawn by one person, Mr.
Timothy Shea, the coincidence was
deemed of sufficient importance to de-
mand explanation, Ind Mr. Shead was
given a hearing.
keen
regret at the reflections upon hiss fair
name which the newspaper publica-
tions had caused. He assured the com-
mittee that he had purchased the war-
rants in good faith and was deeply
grieved that there should exist any
suspicion to the contrary. He had pur-
chased orders for April warrants from
the following persons, only two of
whom he could give any account of,
ham before
R.vB dleyr $27; J neveseen eor
Donahue,
John Fltzpatrick, $20.25; J. Fenton,
$21.60; John Gelb, $20.25; R. Hansen, $27;
H. Mullens, $15.90; P. Welch, $22.95; J.
Snaith, $41.25; J. Myer, $52.50; Pat Sulli-
van, $45. The three her
e on
the pylasteamsts.tamed two
whom Shea knew were Fitzpatrick and
Gelb, whom he claims boarded with
him. J. Myers' warrant for $52.50, he
had not drawn, although several at-
tempts were made r pay

not occurred to him as remarkable that
a man having a city warrant for $52.50
to his credit at the pity hall, witch e
could have by caIDing for .t,
d
pawn a to him for ninety cents (90c).
After Myer had gone it dawned s phe
Shea "to see what was in it,"
wrote out an order for C. Atkinson and
signed Myer's name to it and told At-
kinson to get the money. Most persons
having an r of

endorse it over to tkind

wished to draw the money, but Mr.
Shea being of an or`.ginal and inven-
tive turn of mind set a precedent by

signing another man's name to his
document. He explained that if any-
thing was wrong about the Myer or-
der he felt that he was good for the
money. Mr. Shea also solemnly assur-
ed your committee several times that
he was telling the truth. His story, as
told, would indicate that he had been
imposed upon by bad men. who, tak-
ing advantage of his innocent and
conflditlg nature, sold him claims
against the city for warrants in their
names which this committee is confi-
dent were in most cases unearned.
These warrants amount to $325.05 and
all, with the exception of the Meyer
warrant, Mr. Shea has collected. Now,
that investigation has failed to show
that more .than ane or two of these
persons worked for the city in April,
Mr. Shea's high sense of honor will no
doubt Impel him to refund to the city
treasury at least $332.00 of the money
he collected, as he intimated he intend-
ed to do had anything proved to be
wrong with the Myer order.
We find that there have been placed
on the pay roll at various times names
of severs, citizens who did no work for
the city, and that several April war-
rants remain undrawn. These per-
sons, as a rule, were entirely ignorant
of the use made of their names. All
that seems necessary for parties in a
conspiracy to do is to present or cause
to be presented fraudulent orders for
warrants, and draw the money. Your
committee would advise that the audi-
tor hereafter deliver no warrants to
any unknown persons until their :den-
,tlty has been vouched for by responsi-
ble parties. As the praotice of selling
time is also responsible for many of
.the grossest frauds committed, your
committee would recommend' that the
council forbid any of the officials cer-
tifying the time or warrants to the cred-
it of anyone.
While your committee has not had
time to examine all the suspicious dis-
crepancies that appear on the Apni1
pay roll, nor. to sift the matter to the
bottom as It should be done, it has dis-
covered enough, taken in connection
with the character of the testimony
and the manner of the witnesses whsle
testifying, to convince tit that the city
has been defrauded to the amount of
several hundreds of dollars in April
and in our judgment such fraud could
not have been committed without the
connivance of O'Connell or Hagerty, or
both.
This conviction, which is strengthen-
ed by their utter failure to credibly ex-
plain anything, compels this commit-
tee to recommend the immediate re-
moval of Street Commissioner Hagerty.
The office of street commissioner is evi-
dently the most responsible position in
the gift of the council. None other
presents such temptations and op-
portunities for fraud and favoritism; in
no other position is dishonesty or in-
competency likely to prove so disas-
trous to the public interests. It is,
therefore, incumbent upon the council
to choose a man for this position of
proved integrity and ability.

CITY ATTORNEY'S OPINION.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—You have referred to me
the ordinance in relation to extending
the franchise of the Dubuque Street
Railway company for an opinion as to
ids legality.
I report that said ordinance is invalid
and dllegal in this:
That it contains and relates ito more
than one subject, in thalt lit grants and
extends the franchise of a street rail-
way, and also granite and extends the
franchise of an electric light plant, and
an ordinance can not be legally enacted
by the city that con.adns and relates to
more than one subject.
That the ordinance in addition to ex-
tending the franchise of a street rai1-
way also grants and extends the fran-
chise of an electric sight plant for a
period of 33 years from 1915 and ithe city
cannot grant a franchise to an electric
light plant that will extend beyond ithe
term of 35 years, and cin not extend the
franchise of said electric bight plant
more than 7 years beyond 1915, and an
extens'on for ithe period of 33 years is
illegal.
'That section 10 of said ordinance re-
lating to ithe purchase of said street rail-
way is inoperative and of no effect as
the city has not the power to purchase
or operate street railways.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows: 1897.
Dubuque, Ia., July 29,
To the Hon. Mayor and City Council of
the City of Dubuque:
. Gentlemen:—At a regularon the meeting of
your honorable body held
th
lg!r7 inst.,you instructed, me to examine and
/
consider the evidence taken by the com-
mittee appointed to investigate the Ap-
ril
p-
ril pay roll matter, and instructed me
Mayor. to formulate charges against any c
ity
officer that I might deem guilty.
I have carefully and at length exam-
ined and considered the evidence refer-
red to me. As a result of such examin-
ation and consideration I beg leave
to
29, 1897. report. as follows:
That while it is true that the investi-
gation of said matter disclosed the fact
that the city's business in the street
commissioner's department has not been
attended to in accordance with .good
business methods and while t is true
that there can be no doubt but that cer-
tain persons have been systematically
defrauding the city by means of pad-
ding the pay roll of said city, and While
in my opinion the grand Jury of this
county at its first session should thor-
oughly investigate the very shady
transaction that the committee's
inves-
tigationfrom unearthed, I am
the evidence submitted to me to findg
facts upon which to base charges
against any present city nt
I appreciate the fact that at p ics! es
the public knowing that dishonesty has
been practiced is desirous of having the
guilty parties brought to the bar of
justice; no citizen desires that the guil-
ty parties, for there was certainlyaI Pore
than one person implicated,
be hended more than I do, as a desire it
not only as a citzen but also as
of-
foficermylyu1 t any
citizen, be he layman or lawyer, who is
unprejudiced, examine the evidence sub-
mitted to me and he can not but agree
that there are not therein sufficient
facts upon which to base charges of ex-
p. m.
178 J?e9Ular Seaxion, July 29, 1897.
pulsion. I•t is true that the office of
street commissioner could very well be
less open to suspicion. I desire It un-
derstood that while I am of the opinion
that the evidence submitted to me does
not warrant my deeming any present
city officer guilty that there is about
the April pay roll matter a certain de-
gree of mystery that should be cleared
up.
From The evidence referred to me I
find no proof of facts sufficient upon
which to base charges against any city
officer. However, I do not wish to he
understood as stating that no city offi-
cer is not guilty or that charges should
not be preferred against any city officer,
but I do want to be understood as stat-
ing that the evidence referred to me is
ndt sufficient to base charges upon. and
such preferred evidence is all that is be-
fore me. As the city council has no
jurisdiction to try charges against pri-
vate citizens I have not prepared any
charges as to private citizens.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Dennert moved that the report

Carred.
Ald. Berg, chairman of the c anmittee
of the whole, reported as follows:
On the question referred to it at the
last session of the council, of an exten-
sion of the centraet between the city of
Dubuque and the Star Electric Co., for
lighting the streets of the city by elec-
tric arc lamps, :he comms:tee of the
whole reports as follows:
i,ftcr a conference with tl e er..
tatives. of :he company, and a caret.'ul
consideration of the situation ard cI-
cum :ances. the commie ee finds the fol-
lowing condition to exist:
The present contract is very favor-
able in all respects for the city. The
price per light is lower than that Data
by any other city In the west, and less
than any other electric c^.mp my in hu_
i'uque would undertake to furnish
lights for. The reoresentativos if beth
the other electric lighting plants in this
city have repeatedly stated to members
of the committee that the price paid the
Star Electric is much lower than they
c)uld afford to take. for furnishing s,imi-
lar lights. The present cmn:ract with the
Star Electric will expire in less than ore
year. It was awarded to that- com-
pany after the city hal pub icly adver-
tised for proposals in all the otf,c'al
newspapers of the city. At the time the
Star Electric's bid was more than ten
dol'a's less per lamp than that of either
of the other eteatric companies having
plants in Dubuque. It has invested a
very large amount of money in con-
ntruction of ,':s pjwer plant, and erec-
tion of its piles and wires, and has
rendered very satisfactory service. In
order to keep up and renew its plant
and machinery, so as to give satisfac-
':cry service, and extend its system to
meet the demands of the public and the
order of the city council, it Is under the
constant necessity of making large ad-
ditional outlays and expenditures. It
ie apparent that with only a short con-
tract, it cannot afford :hese large and
continual investments of money for the
extension and maintenance of a system
and plant which would be compa a-
bively worthless, if for any reason, 1e:s
contract with the city should be termin-
ated. The recent orders of the council
requiring extensions of its lines and the
erection of new lights which would ne-
cessitate a large exb ense for work and
material and additional machinery,
which would be a dead loss in case of a
failure to renew its contract, has com-
pelled the company to remonstrate
against being compelled to carry out
the orders referred to under the circum-
stance with le=s than a year until the
expiration of the existing c n'ract, the
members of the committee are compel-
led to recognize the justice of the re-
monstrance of the company. It Teems
unjust to compel th con-pany to go on
n eking large expenditures for the ex-
tension of its system without some as-
surance that they w:11 meet with same
return.
In view of this condition of things, it
would seem that an extensirn cf the
contract is 'he only fair solution cf the
question and taking into ccnsideration
the large amount t f capital already in-
ve-t?d and the continua' expenditure
necessary fir addition 3 and extensions
of the system in oder t- m -et the re-
quirements of the city and the wants of
the public, a p:riod of ten years exten-
sion of the contract seems to ur com-
mittee only fair and just and we re-
commend that an agreement for •he
sane be entered into for that time.
The committee further recommends
the approval and adoption of the
agreement and stipulation for the ex-
tension of said contract herewith pre-
sented which has met with the aprroval
of the committee and of the c'tv attor-
ney who have examined its provisions,
also that the mayor and city recorder
be auth-rized and instructed to execute
the same on the part of the city in du-
plicate, on the company jrining in its
execution, and moved the adoption
Carried.
Also report in favor of receiving and
filing pet'ticn of the Dubuque Butchers,
asking council to cancel and annul sec-
tion 8 of chapter 21 of the revised ordin-
ance and moved to adopt. Carried.
Your committee aI'o ask further time
to report on the matter of granting a
new telephone ordinance to R. W.
Stewart and en motion it was granted.

tee on police and lights, reported in fa-

Ald. Lagen, chairman of the special

supposed nuisance of Farley & Loets-
cher Mfg. Co.. reported that the com-
mittee had visited said factory and that
the proprietors have promised to use
either water or steam to keep the shav-
ing dust from annoying any one, and
would be in favor of giving said Farley
& Loetscher £0 days' time to put in said
water sprinkler, or steam, that the city
recorder so notify said company, and
moved the adoption of the report. Car-
ried.

Ald. Crawford, chairman of the com-
mittee on ordinances, reported as fol-
lows:
To the City Council of the City of Du-
buque: Your committee on ordinances
to which was referred the ordinance
providing for the repeal of sections 8
and 17 of chapter 21, of the revised or-
dinances of 1893, respectfully submit the
following report:
Chapter 21 is entitled "An ordinance to
establish and regulate matk.ts, and the
sale of meats, etc." Sections 8 and 17
contains the provisions requiring but-
chers and ether dea'.e s in fresh meats
poultry, or fish, to pay a 1icmse fee for
the privilege of carrying on their bus:-
ness.
The ordinance was passed more than
forty years ago, and the greater por-
tion of its prov°cions are obsolete and
no lcnger enfore.d. In the opinion of
your commhtee, the requirement of
the ordnance comrellieg butChers to
pay a license Yee is the survival and re-
1ic of a system and t'me when all mer-
chants and dealers of every descriptor
doing business in the city were required
to take cut a license.
When the ordinances impos'ng a li-
cense upon rr er harts and other dea'ers
were repealed. the butchers and fresh
meat dealers seem to have been over-
looked.
In the judgment of your committee,
the omission ought now to be corrected.
We can see no good reason why fresh
meat merchants should be singled cut
and required to pay a special tax for the
privilege of carrying on their business.
which is legitimate and honorable, as
well as useful and necessa y to the com_
munity at large.
We, therefore, recommend the adopt -
tion of the ordinance.
Respectfully subm'tted,
P. W. CRAWFORD,
MATT. STAFFORD.
Ald. Crawford moved the adoption of
the report. Adopted by the following

His honor. Mayor Duffy, returned un-
signed the ordinance enti.led an ordin-
ance to reneal section 8 and 17 of chap-
ter 21 of the revised ordinance of 1893
of the city of Dubuque, with the follow-
ing veto message:
Mayor's office. Dubuque, Ia., Nov. 18,
1897.
To the members of the city council:
Gentlemen: At your regular met-
ing held on the llth of this mon'h, you
passed an ordinance entitled an ordin-
ance to repeal section 8 and 17 of chap-
ter 21 of the revised ordinance of 1893,
of the city of Dubuque:
I deem it my duty to withhold my
signature from the same for tihe follow-
ing reasons:
First.—Because my approval of said
ordinance would deprive the city of a
part of the revenue heretofore enioy-
ed by it, amounting to over $1200.00
which it can not now afford to loose.
The need of revenue increases with
the growth of the city from year to
year, and we should not, in view of the
necessity for money to meet their new
demands deprive ourselves of such
means of revenue as are now available.
Second.—The precedent established by
making the ordinance effective would b'
bad. for it would he an incentive to all
others who now pay a license for the
prosecution of their business to appeal
to council to relieve thein from what
they might justly call discriminating
legislation on its part, there is no rea-
son that can be fairly urged in advo-
cacy of this ordinance that will not ap-
ply with equal force to auctioneers,
conductors of billiard tables, boat
houses, hotels, boarding houses, restau-,
rants, livery stables, carriage and
hack lines, as well as to teamsters. ex -
pressmen, hucksters, peddlers andothers
who are now required to contribute to-
wards the expense of our city. It is easy
to see that this would prove a serious
matter even if we were better altuated
financially.
We now feel unable to grant what ap-
pears to be a meritorious request com-
ing from a member of our most sub-
stantial business men to add to the ef-
fc'ency of our fire department because
the council does not believe it advisable
to increase at this time the additional
expense occasioned thereby, which ex-
pense would probably be fully met by an
amount of money that the passage of
this ordinance will deprive the city of
now.
Third. If the measure is designed
as a protection to the butchers of our
city it w'll fail, for it will invite compe-
tition. not always honest from all di-
rections. with no restrictions such as
have heretofore existed. The field is
open for any and every one to engage
in the sale of fresh meats, poultry and
fish, which there is much reason to fear
will prove a disappointment to the
butchers as well as an i.niury to the
consumers of these articles.
Fourth. I apprehend evil results
from the liberty extended to everybody
to engage in the sale of these necessary
articles of food. by opening the door
to men who. will consult the people's
health less than their owe pecuniary
profits by selling articles unfit for con-
sumption, an evil which I fear can be
guarded against only by the constant
employment of a meat inspector, an ex-
pense which we have not felt able here-
tofore to insure. At the hands of our
regular butchers. who are amongst our
most honorable business men we have
nothing to fear in this regard. With
all the barriers thrown down to vender
of meats. fish and poultry come from
where they may or be they what they
may it might be very different.
But recently our board of health, at
the solicitation of the butchers to wham
the animal had been sold by a party
outside the city limits, had the meat ex-
amined after the animal was slaughter-
ed. in the presence of the board physi-
clan and Dr. Whitwell and it was
found so full of disease that it was ab-
solutely poisonous.
The conscience of the man who sold
that live animal to be slaughtered for
food knowingly would not long deter
him from selling the vile meat directly
to the consumer if he had the privilege
without a license to do so.
I therefore return said ordinance un-
signed with these my reasons for with-
holding my signature from the same,
subject to your further pleasure.
T. T. DUFFY, Mayor.

OFFICERS' REPORTS.
Street Foreman Morgan reported $2,-
290.10
2;290.10 due street laborers for the first
half of November, 1897.
Ald. Cullen moved that the report be
received and warrants ordered drawn to
pay said laborers and the report refer-
red back to the street committee. Car-
ried.
Sewer Inspec+o•r Broadhurst report-
ed $253.95 due the laborers on sewers for
the first half of November. 1897.
Ald. Berg moved that the report be
received and warrants ordered drawn
to pay said laborers and the report re-
ferred back to thesewer committee
Carried.
City Attorney T. H. Duffy rep'rted
as follows:
I.n relation to the petition of Mr. D.
J. Lenehan for the improvement of Mt.
Pleasant avenue. the cost of improving
1-2 of the inter'ection of Mt. Pleaeant
avenue. formerly Broad street, with
Vern^m st-eet, is not assessable against
Mr. Lenehan's Iota. Under the law in
force at the time this improvement amd
assessment was made the law nrovided
that the cost of intersections eihou'd be
naid out of a nav'ng fund provided for
that purpose and was not then assess-
able against his property. As to the
mistake claimed as to the curbing the
city engineer informs me that the es-
timate is correct and that he stands
willing to explain that point to Mr.
Lenehan. I recommend that the pray-
er of the petition relating to the reduc-
tion of .his assees^nen,t by deducting the
cost of 1-2 the intersec'ion of Mt. Veto -
ant avenue with Vernon street be grant-
ed and that the matter of the petition
relating to mistake in curbing he re-
ceived and filed.
Respec'f»l.ly s'ibm"tted.
T. H. DUFFY. City Attorney.
Ald. Berg moved that same be refer-
red to the committee of the whole. Car-
ried.
Also report in relation to the widen-
ing of lane or alley between Stafford
amd Middle avenues. The property
taken or sought to be taken has been
condemned according to ordinance, and
a jury has assessed the damages to
which the property owners are entitled.
The arward of that jury governs if the
city desires to establish and widen the
alley ,unless either the city or abutters
wish to appeal therefrom, which each
has the right to do. As a matter of
fact if the city does not deem it .expe-
dient to widen the alley it need not do
so; if the city deems it expedient to
open and widen the alley the proper
thing to do is to proceed to so open and
widen the alley by resolution as pro-
vided by ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,
T. H. DUFFY, City Attorney.
Ald. Stafford moved that same be re-
ceived and filed. Carried.
Also reported in relation to deed of
right of way through lot 31, Union ad-
dition to the city of Dubuque. At a
regular session of the city council held
on the 7th day of October, 1897, you ad-
opted a report of Alderman Cullen of
the special commPtee of tine First ward
alderman relative to right of way
through lot 31, Union add to the city
of Dubuque. Iowa. Said committee
reported in favor of paying to Mr. Geo
M. Robinson, the owner of said prop-
erty. the sum of $175.00 upon his exe-
cuting proper deed to the city. I have
rrenare1 the deed and Mr. Robinson and
his wife have executed same according
to law. Deed is herewith s'jbm'tted. I
wou'd resnec'fuiy recommend that the
deed together With city engineer's plat
showing the property as taken for
str^et nurnoses be fi'ed in the county re-
corder's office of Dubuoue county.
Reepeotful'y submitted,
T. H. DUFFY, City Attorney.
Ald. Berg moved to adopt same and
the recommendations be carried out.

His Honor, Mayor Duffy, presented.
read the following communication to the
council:
Mayor's Office,
Dubuque, Iowa, Dec. 2. 1897.
To the Members of the City Council:
Gentlemen—There appears on Sewer
Inspector Broadhurst's pay -roll for the
latter half of October last the name of
F. Brake for nine days' work, amount-
ing to $13.50. Mr. Broadhurst called at
the auditor's office for the warrant
which had been made in favor of F.
Brake, claiming that he had advanced
the money to Brake, and on being re-
fused the warrant by Mr. McCarten he
produced a receipt purporting to have
been signed by Brake for that amount.
The auditor still refused to deliver the
warrant to Mr. Broadhurst until he was
satisfied that the signature to the re-
ceipt was that of the party to whom the
warrant belonged. Mr. Broadhurst
called my attention to the matter, and
I considered it important enough to in-
quire into. Mr. Broadhurst informed
me that he knew Brake well; that he
had worked with him on the brewery
building when his brother or cousin
was killed by falling from a scaffold,
I believe. He was unable to locate him,
hut thought he was in the county about
Dyersville, New Vienna, or in
tatg vi-
cinity. I ascertained by
to
these places that a man named Joseph
Brake, who had worked on the new
brewery building with Mr. Broadhurst.
and whose brother had been killed
there, was employed in a creamery in
Joseph isatisfiedlle. Feeling Brake and the F. Brake on Mr.
Broadhurst's pay roll were the same
person, I wrote to him and inquired if
he had worked for Mr. Broadhurst on
the sewers in the rnmonth nth of ffomOctober
or
him for
had received any
such work. He replied that he knew
344 Regular Seexion, December 2, 1897.
Mr. Broadhurst very well, that h: had
worked on the brewery with him when
his brother was killed, but that he had
never worked for the city anywhere or
at any time and had never received
money from Mr. Broadhurst for any
work. Further that he had been stead-
ily employed at the creamery In Dy-
ersville every day since the first day of
last March and has not been in this
city since that time. This man's state-
ment as to his being employed at the
creamery, how long and his not being
in Dubuque since is corroborated by
Philip Heuse, of Dyersville, to whose
niece he is married and with whom he
lives in the same house: also by the
widow of Brake's dead brother. I do
not care to say more about this matter
now, because I do not want to preju-
dice Mr. Broadhurst's ease and want
him to have every possible opportunity
to set himself right before this council
or any committee you may see fit to ap-
point to inquire further Into it. I feel
it to be my duty, however, from the
information now before me to recom-
mend that youdispense with the ser-
viees of Mr. Broadhurst, as sewer in-
spector, until you are satisfied from
further evidence that he is a proper
person to retain in the public service.
This matter emphasizes the necessity
of more carefulness in delivering war-
rants in the auditor's office to parties
until it is positively known that they
are rightfully entitled to them. A num-
her of warrants were delivered to Mr.
Broadhurst on his representation that
the owners had worked for him and
that he had advanced the money on
them. The auditor has furnished me
with a list of seventeen such names,
some of whom were known to him, but
some of them were unknown in the
auditor's oflfee nor does Mr. Broad-
hurst know who they are or their pres-
ent whereabouts. Their names do not
appear in the city directory. The
amount of these warrants is 882.75. 7
do not want to be understood as say-
ing that no such men did work in the
sewer department, but it will be read-
ily seen from the difficulty in deter-
mining whether men whom the sewer
inspector himself does not know ever
worked for the city, or not, the need of
being satisfied on that point before
the warrant is delivered to pay for the
work. There should be such vigilance
exercised that there may be no diffi-
culty in the way of settling questions of
doubt when they do arise, the auditor
should be instructed to deliver no war-
rant to any one until he is satisfied
that It Is to the rightful owner.
T. T. DUFFY, Mayor.
Ald. Crawford moved that the may-
or's recommendation, as far as the sus-
pension of Sewer Inspector Broadhurst,
during the investigation be adopted,
and that Street Foreman Morgan be put
In charge of the sewer department for
the present. Carried:
Aid. Lagen said he desired to hear
from Sewer Inspector Broadhurst.
Mr. Broadhurst addressed the coun-
cil.
Ald. Stafford moved that the matter
of investigation of Sewer Inspector
T:roadhurst be referred to the commit-
tee on sewers. Carried.
