City Council, Dubuque. Towa:
Gentlemen: On March 1, 1920,
current deficits were as follows:
Due to damage by floods $ 85,574.68
In General Operating
Funds 60,743.66
Total current deficit $146,318.34
The deficit due to the damage from
floods was taken care of by the ap-
propriations for 1920. The current
deficit, however, was not provided
for.
On April 1, 1921, there was a cur-
rent deficit in the operating funds
amounting to $38,135.39, which
shows during the current year a re-
duction of our floating debt of $22,-
608.27, in spite of the fact that the
current year contained thirteen
months instead of twelve. Assum-
ing the regular expenditures of one
month to amount to $35,000.00, this
would show an improvement of the
financial condition in the eleven
months amounting to about $57,-
600.00. This is in spite of the fact
that some $7,000 has been spent for
new equipment for the street and
a new heating plant and electric
lights have been installed in the
City Hall at considerable expense.
The Apnropriation Ordinance,
adopted on March 25, 1921, covering
the appropriations for the current
fiscar year. leaves a balance beyond
the amount of anpronriation. in the
consolidated levy.' of 371.962.51. T
would recommend that the sum of
338.125.39 be transferred from the
surnlus or contingency fund to en-
iirely meet and wine out the defieeit
in the nnerating funds of the City
on April 1. 1921, and also that the
sum of 89.000 at this time he trans-
ferred from the surplus or con-
tingency fluids in the consolidated
levy, to take care of the current de-
ficit in the nark fund. whirh hereto-
fore has been independent from
other city funds. Tf the above trans-
fers are authoried, there will he a
surplus in the general fend consoli-
dated levy and miscellaneous re-
ceipts amounting to 324 827.12.

Gentlemen: Some time last fail
there was a discussion between Mr.
James Lee, some members of the
Council and myself, with reference
to the payment of special assess-
ments as levied on July 29, 1914, for
the improvement of Angella Street.
The assessments as levied were as
follows:
12, Gilliam's Sub $137.19
11, Gilliam's Sub. _...... 137.19
of 10, Gilliam's Sub. 167.38
East 10 feet Lot 9, Gilliam's
Sub... . 27.44
Making a total of ... $469.29
The arrangements as made, as I
recall then, were that this assess-
ment was to have been settled on the
basis of one-half of the originoi as-
sessment, plus four years interest at
6 per cent, making a total of $290.91.
Also Mr. Lee deposited with the City
Treasurer at the time a check for
this amount, which has not yet been
cashed by the City.
I would, therefore, recommend
that the City Treasurer be authoriz-
se to accept in full an account of

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On October 12, 1916,
there was a special assessment lev-
ied against Lot 13, in Concord's Ad-
dition, for the curbing, guttering and
macadamizing of Coates Avenue,
from Fremont Avenue to Cross
Street. The amount assessed against
this lot for this improvement was
$112.17. On November 19, 1914, the
City Council authorized the Treasur-
er to accept 25 per cent as' payment
in full on account of this special as-
sessment. Settlement was not made
at that time.
Regular Session, May 2nd, 1921
There are also against this lot de-
linquent general taxes from 1905 to -
(late. These general taxes for the
five years prior to 1920, with inter-
est, amount to $11.86; while the gen-
eral taxes for the previous years
without interest amount to $27.45. At
the same time these general taxes
in the years prior to 1909 are levied
on an accessive valuation as they
are reduced $3.80 after 1909.
I would recommend that the City
Treasurer be authorized to accept
$64.00 in full settlement for all taxes,
special and general, as advertised
for sale last December. This would
mean a settlement of the special as-
sessment on the basis as authorized
by the Council in 1914, or $28.04, and
the balance, or $35.96, as payment in
full on the delinquent general taxes.
Respectfulll submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation be approved and
the City Treasurer so instructed, the
City Treasurer to notify the County
Treasurer after the payment is
made. Seconded by Councilman

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: The notice of your
intention to require the Dubuque
Electric Company to repair its pave-
ment lying between the rails thereof
on Central Avenue from Fourth
Street to Eighteenth Street, together
with a copy of the resolution duly
passed by you on May 2, 1921, has
been received by me, as General
Manager of said Company, and I
hasten to advise you of the Com-
pany's attitude in this regard.
We are in complete accord upon
the fact that this pavement consti-
tuting the company's right of way is
in a deplorable condition and in
need of immediate repairs. We are
also convinced that these repairs
must be made at once. The only ob-
stacle which prevents immediate ac-
tion upon our part is the matter of
financing the cost of the improve-
ment. We are not in a position to
Regular Session, May 2nd, 1921 97
do this at this time. However, we
have a proposition to make to your
Honorable Body. If the City should
undertake to make these repairs, by
contract or otherwise, and pay for
the same out of its funds, the com-
pany will agree to reimburse the
City for this outlay and pay a rea-
sonable rate of interest upon the ac-
count. The only thing we ask is,
that our payments be deferred and
spread over a period of years, so
that it will not cause too great a
hardship upon us and result in dis-
aster to the community. If this ar-
rangement can be made, the com-
pany stands willing to agree in
writing to waive any legal formality
or proceeding necessary to make a
binding assessment and unequiv-
ocally agree to pay the cost of the
improvement in full. If such an ar-
rangement can be made, we will be
glad to co-operate without delay.
Respectfully yours,
DUBUQUE ELECTRIC CO.
O. H. SIMONDS,
Its Manager.

pavement. The following bids were

$1.3814 per square yard.
Engineer's estimate: Bituminus
macadam, $1.50 per square yard.
98 Regular Session, May 2nd, 1921
It is an open question as to
whether asphalt or tarvia is the bet-
ter filler for a bituminous pavement.
There are warm advocates for each
material. Personally, everything
else equal, I would be inclined to fa-
vor asphalt filler and yet I am satis-
fled that if properly applied, either
material will give satisfactory re-
sults.
The bid as submitted by James
Saul at $1.29 for asphalt bituminous
macadam is the lowest bid received
for asphalt filler. The bid as sub-
mitted by the Even-Ulrich-Staner Co
at $1.211/2 for tarvia X macadam is
the lowest bid received for this type
of pavement.
I am submitting the report of
these bids without recommendation.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The condition of Bluff Street from
Eighth Street to the intersection
with Locust Street, just north of
Fourteenth Street, is very bad. Last
year I endeavored to repair it with
cold patches, hut was not very suc-
cessful.
I am assured that an asphaltic
binder can be lain upon the present
paving and in that way he built up
to a smoother surface and a wear-
ing surface laid upon this surface
at the expense of not to exceed $1.25
per square yard.
I believe that this improvement
should be made during the present
season and would recommend the
adoption of a resolution for the im-
provement of this street.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
• City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation be approved and
the Engineer be instructed to draw
plans and specifications. Seconded

chior and Rooney.
Nays—None.

May 20, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: I believe that the
City should now make plans for
street improvements for the year
1922, by now making sure that all
lots are connected with sewer, water
and gas and the necessary storm
sewers are in place.
Two streets which I would now
recommend for improvement next
year are White Street from Sixth
Street to Twenty -Second Street and
Twenty -First Street from Central
Avenue to Lincoln Avenue and Linc-
oln Avenue from Twenty -First
Street to Second Avenue (now Ham-
ilton Street).
Prior to the improvement of White
Street, there should be a necessary
relief sewer constructed in this
street from Sixth Street to Fifteenth
Street in order to divert all the sani-
tary sewerage from the hill district
away from the present main sewer,
which is entirely inadequate to serve
the demands upon it. There should
also be a number of storm water
sewers laid on White Street in order
to take rare of the storm water at
this point. instead of letting it flow
112 Special Session, May 20th, 1921
on down to the railroad. Plans and
specifications• with estimates will be
worked out as soon as possible for
covering these improvements, which
will probably have to be financed.
The City Engineer now has plans
practically completed covering the
construction of a storm sewer on
Lincoln Avenue from Kniest Street
to Humboldt Avenue ,now Humboldt
Street). Also the relaying of the
8 -inch sewer on Lincoln Avenue from
Johnson Avenue (now Johnson
Street) to Elm Street (at the pres-
ent time the 8 -inch sewer in John-
son Street takes the flow from three
8 -inch sewers at that point, passing
under the Kniest Street sewer by
syphon, runs uphill from there to
the Bee Branch sewer, where it en-
counters another syphon from the
Bee Branch sewer). The 8 -inch sew-
er is inadtequate as well as improp-
erly constructed.
Plans are also practically com-
pleted covering storm water sewers
in Second Avenue (Hamilton Street)
from the river to Lincoln Avenue.
Also a storm water sewer in Ann
Avenue (now Ann Street) from the
river to Lincoln Avenue and in
Lincoln Avenue from Ann Street to
Middle Avenue (now Farley Street).
By the construction of these storm
sewers much of the water now find-
ing its way to the Bee Branch sewer
will be diverted to the river. Also
all the water now coming on Lincoln
Avenue will be carried underground,
which arrangement should be made
prior to the improvement of this
street.
I also believe that there are funds
available at the present time set
aside for municipal improvements to
enable these sewers on Lincoln Ave-
nue to be immediately constructed.
I am reporting this matter to the
City Council with the request that
the authority be given to the City
Manager to advertise for bids for
the coflatructioeof those sewers, as
soon as the Engineer shall have en-
tirely completed the plans and pre-
pared specificationOoy the work.
Respectfully submitted,

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—I am in receipt of a
letter from Mr. Frank Bresee, who
advises me that the Board of Review
raised his assessment from $500 to
$1,000, and also that he received no
notice of the raise in assessment. I
have investigated the matter in the
office of the City Assessor, who re-
ports that at the time the assess-
ment was made, in 1920, Mr. Breese
was then selling out his stock pre -
June 4th, 1921.
, June 6th, 1921
125
paratory to going out of business.
He is now out of business and he
had very little stock on hand when
the assessment was made. I would
therefore recommend that the Coun-
ty Treasurer be instructed to reduce
the taxes against the personal prop-
erty of Frank Bresee from $14 to $7.
Respectfully submitted,
0, E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Rooney moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved and the Coun-
ty Treasurer be so notified. Second-

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—Some time ago a pe-
tition of property owners on Cox
Street, near Union Avenue, request-
ing that a walk be constructed in
front of Lots 3, 9, 10 and 11, Jack-
son School Subdivision, was referred
to the City Manager for investiga-
tion and report.
Lot 3 belongs to C. E. Gordon and
has a frontage of 100.5 feet. Lots 9,
10 and 11 belong to J. H. Bradley
and have a frontage of 123.6 feet.
Mr. Bradley is one of the signers of
the petition. There are, I believe,
three other improved lots on this
same street which have sidewalks
already constructed.
I would recommend that a notice
be served on these property owners
to construct a four -foot sidewalk in
front of their premises. In the event
of their failure to do so, the City will
award a contract and construct the
same at their expense.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation be approved and
resolutions be prepared covering the
same. Seconded by Councilman Roon-
ey. Carried by the following vote:

June 2nd, 1921.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—Some time ago a pe-
tition for cancellation of taxes, as
filed by Mrs. Anna Fischer, of 929
High Bluff Street, was referred to
the City Manager for investigation
and report.
I beg leave to advise that the prop-
erty referred to is Lot 41, Cooper's
Addition, and was assessed in 1919
at $1,030. I would say it was worth
126 Regular Session,
twice that amount. City taxes now
due on this property amount to
$17.36. In past years since Mr. Fis-
cher's death they have been paid by
Mr. Trewin, who holds an $800 mort-
gage
property ahas been exempted from
County taxes since 1918.
Mrs. Fischer has five children, the
oldest daughter being about twenty-
one and the next daughter about
nineteen. The second daughter is
now working. There is also a little
grandchild at the house. Mrs. Fis-
cher undoubtedly has a very hard
time of it to support her family and
to pay the interest on taxes against
the place.
If it were legally possible to do so,
I would recommend that the taxes
against her property be cancelled.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
matter be referred to the City Solic-
itor to report back to the Council.
Seconded by Councilman Rooney.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas— Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior,
Rooney.
Nays—None.
June 2nd, 1921.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—Some weeks ago, a
petition by Mrs. Margaret Dawson,
592 Cleveland Avenue, in which she
asks for the cancellation of City
taxes, was referred to the City Man-
ager for investigation and report.
I have investigated this matter
and wish to report as follows: This
property was assessed in 1919 at
81,330 and is probably worth, at this
time, double that amount. I find
that there have been no City taxes
paid on this property since 1911.
The 1914 taxes were by order of the
Council, to remain a lien without in-
terest. Similar action was taken by
the Council on September 2d, 1920.
All other years the taxes have been
cancelled. I also find that this prop-
erty has been exempted from the
County taxes since 1919.
I find th2.t Mrs. Dawson has two
fully matured daughters, both of
them are regularly employed and
who live at home. I can therefore
see no reason for either the cancel-
lation of these taxes nor for per-
mitting them to remain a lien with-
out interest.
Very respectfully,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation be approved, the
petition denied and Mrs. Dawson so
advised. Seconded by Councilman

City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation: •
On November 6, 1919, there was
an assessment levied on account of
the improvement of Peru Road,
against Lots 322 and 323, belonging
to Mr. John Heim and his sister. At
the time, a protest was made by Mr.
Heim on account of the assessment
being excessive, in other words more
than 25 per cent of the value of the
property.
No payment on the assessment
was made until Last fall and a pay
ment was made by Mr. Heim with
the understanding that the City
Council would take some action in
the matter of adjusting the assess-
ment.
The assessment of Lot 322 was
$753.32 and Lot 323 was assessed
$235.91. A fair valuation of Lot 322
is $1,000.00, and Lot 323, $900.00.
One-fourth of this would be an as-
sessment of $250.00 on Lot 322 and
$225.00 on Lot 323. I would, there-
fore, recommend that the City Treas
urer be instructed to reduce the orig-
inal assessment as levied against Lot
322 to the sum of $250.00, and the
original assessment as levied against
Lot 323 to the sum of $225.00, which
will be a total reduction on the lots
of $514.24.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
On motion of Councilman Gabriel,
seconded by Councilman Melchior,
the recommendation of City Man-
ager Carr was approved and the City
Treasurer so instructed. Carried by

Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-

Nays—None.
Absent—Councilman Brede.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
For a number of years there has
been talk of opening up the street at
the intersection of Grandview Ave-
nue and Delhi Street. During the
past week I have arranged with Mr.
King, the owner of the property on
this street, for the purchase of a tri-
angular strip, containing about sixty
square feet, which will be needed for
the opening of this street. Price of
this lot is $25.00.
The probable cost of this work,
changing the street and sidewalks,
will amount to between $250.00 to
$300.00. In case the Council O. K.
the purchase of this piece of prop-
erty from Mr. King, we will proceed
with this improvement.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

16, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23, in King's Ad-
dition to the City of Dubuque, and
that through some oversight the
change of title has not been made on
the City tax books and are still car-
ried in J. J. Nagle's naive, the man
from whom he bought these lots;
wherefore, petitioner respectfully re-
quests that your Honorable Body as-
sist him in clearing the title to his
property by allowing him the sol-
dier's exemption he is entitled to on
these lots for the years 1916, 1917,
1918 and 1919, and remove said
property from the City's Tax Sale
List, presented. On motion of Coun-
cilman Gabriel the petition was re-
ferred to the City Solicitor. Second-

men Gabriel, Melchior and Rooney.
Nays—None.
Absent—Councilman Brede.
Dubuque Electric Co. made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
With the completion of Central
Avenue paving east of Fifteenth
Street, we are ready any time to
again route Point cars north bound
on Central Avenue, and Linwood
&ars south bound on lower Central
Avbnue.
On account of the dual attractions
at the end of the Point line, viz.: the
bathing beach and Eagle Point Park,
it is our thought that better service
could be rendered the public if the
Point cars were routed north on
Main Street, rather than on Cen-
tral Avenue, as heretofore, as in so
doing passengers could board the
cars on Main Street and go direct to
their destination, whereas, hereto-
fore it was necessary to board the
cars on Central Avenue or transfer
from a Main Street car at Twenty -
Second Street. It is possible to route
Point cars south on lower Central
Avenue and loop them back on Main
Street at the Juli 11 Hotel corner.
The Dodge Street cars would operate
as at present north on lower Central
Avcnue and south on Main Street
and would be through routed with
the Linwood line, which would enjoy
south bound service on Main Street
Instead of north bound as at pres-
ent, and north bound on lower Cen-
tral Avenue, instead of south bound
as at present.
132
Special Session, June 23rd, 1921
Such an arrangement as above de-
scribed would entail a greater num-
ber of car hours each day than at
present, which, however, we would
be agreeable to, at least during the
summer months, in the interest of
better service to the bathing beach
and Eagle Point Park. The one prob-
lem which confronts us is that the
cars which we would operate on the
Dodge and Linwood line would be
single end, the same as now operat-
ed on the Linwood line, which would
necessitate the use of the Grandview
Avenue loop. I appreciate that we,
are at present enjoined from the use
of this loop, but if you feel that the
service we have proposed is of suffic-
ient improvement to warrant you in
allowing day to day permission to
use the Grandview Avenue loop, we
would be very glad, indeed, to put
the new routing into effect. It would
be your privilege at any and all
times, of course, to revoke this per-
mission at will. In connection with
the use of the loop, I might state
further that our cars would not stop
on the loop, but would go right
around and spend their lay -over on
the straight of way track, as at pres-.
ent.
Presented.
Very truly yours,
O. H. SIMONDS,
General Manager.
Resolution.
Whereas, the Dubuque Electric
Company has deemed it advisable in
the interest of better street car ser-
vice upon certain of its lines to re-
route cars; and,
Whereas, in order to promote bet-
ter service it is necessary that said
company use the loop on Grandview
Avenue to turn its cars that are to
be used upon the Dodge and Linwood
line; and,
Whereas, said company has been
enjoined from using said loop by an
order of court; and,
Whereas, the City Council of the
City of Dubuque feels that better
service will promote the best inter-
ests of the City without committing
any breach of trust to the public or
cousing any inconvenience to traffic;
be it, therefore,
Resolved, that said Dubuque Elec-
tric Company be and it is hereby
granted permission to use said loop
for the purpose of turning its cars to
be used on the Dodge and Linwood
line for such a period of time as the
Council may consider proper, it be-
ing understood that the Council re-
serves the right to revoke the per-
mission herein granted whenever it
desires to do so and the permission
is subject to the exercise of such
power.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—At a meeting held
June 23rd petition of residents on
Elm street between Rhomberg Ave-
nue and Twenty-first street asking
for sewer and water, was referred
to the City Manager for investiga-
tion and report.
Due to the congested condition of
our main sanitary sewer, I felt some-
what averse to recommending an
extension in this street. At the pre-
sent time the sewage stands well up
in the manholes throughout this en-
tire district.
The property owners after having
been advised of the conditions are
still desirous of having sewer and
water. This is one of the oldest
streets in the city and is well built
ul). I would therefore recommend
that the city proceed with the con-
struction of a sanitary sewer in this
145
street ,water also to be installed
as soon as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Mana-
ger be approved, seconded by Coun-
cilman Gabriel. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Yeas—Moyor
man Brede, Gabriel, Melchoir,
Rooney.
Nays—None.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—An inspection of side-
walks in our down town districts
shows some sixty-seven conditions in
need of repair. I have also a list of
some thirty-six in which new walks
are recommended. I would therefore
request that the City Council direct
by proper resolutions new side -walks
to be constructed along the following
lots, the resolution also providing
that in case they are not built with-
in fifteen days of the service of the
notice, the city will award a con-
tract and will have new walks con-
strueted at the expense of the own-
er of the abutting property.
This is the first list of new walks
to be constructed, but probably not
the last, as we wish to get away
from the annual injury to persons
and expense to the city on account
of defective walks in the city.

Chas. A. Whitney of the Chicago
office of the National Board of Un-
derwriters, addressed the Council
relative to an in favor of the new
proposed City ordinance prohibiting
theh use of wood shingles within the
City limits, stating and showing by
exhibits the danger of having wood
shingled roofs in the congested part
of thhe City in case of fire.
Messrs John Kerper, C. McCarthy,
and D. Hodges, local lumber mer-
chants spoke against the abolition
of wood shingles outside of the pres-
ent city fire limits.
Mr. Kerper stated that he had no
objection to prohibiting the use of
wood shingles within the fire dis-
trict, but claimed that the so-called
fire -proof roof coverings and shin-
gles are expensive and not yet per-
fected and will work a hardship on
the small builder.
Messrs McCarthy and Hodges
spoke along the same lines. Mr.
Hodges then presented a fire -proof
shingle and demonstrated to the
152 Regular Session, July
6th, 1921
Council that it would burn, by set-
ting fire to it with a match.

City Council,

Gentlemen:—Some time ago the
Council approved my recommenda-
tion for the renumbering of houses
in Dubuque in accordance with the
plans as outlined, I have delayed in
carrying out the instructions, think-
ing that we would be able to use one
our own men in the Engineer's office
for this purpose. Time has pased on
and I find that it is impracticable
and for that reason 1 engaged Ed-
ward J. Hornick, at the rate of one
hundred and thirty dolars ($130.00)
per month to look after the asigning
of new numbers to the various build-
ings in Dubuque which are now with-
out numbers or which have wrong
numbers.
It is my hope that by the middle
of September this work will be suffi-
ciently advanced so that it can be
completed by someone in connection
with the Engineer's office.
It will probably be necessary this
season or the early part of next year
various streets, both for the benefit
to put up the proper names on the
of strangers and for the benefit of
our residents who do not know the
new names assigned to the various
streets.

City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
City Council,
Dubuque. Iowa,
Gentlemen:—At a meeting of the
City Council on July 5th, petition of
property owners for the construction
of a sanitary sewer in Pickett street
from Cornell street two hundred feet
West, was referred to the City Mana-
ger. I have investigated the matter
and would recommend that the legis-
lation be passed necessary to permit
the construction of this sewer.
Most of the property on the North
side of the street is improved and
the North side alone would be as-
sessed for this improvement and I
believe all the property owners are
desirious of having the sewer con-
structed.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved. Seconded by

Special Session, July 21st, 1921
Communication from the City Man-
ager recommending that the neces-
sary legislation be prepared and
bonds issued, dated August , in
order to meet the cost of the three
contracts awarded, presented.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
July 20, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: I have today reported
bids on storm water sewers neces-
sary to be constructed prior to the
improvement of Lincoln Avenue.
These bids total $53,087.67. In ad-
dition to this the City is to furnish
the catch basin and manhole cast-
ings, as well as the brick for use in
the construction of catch basins and
manholes. The total of these im-
provements will therefore amount
to $45,000.00.
We still have another storm sewer
which should be built prior to the
improvement of Jackson Street, the
outlet of which will be in the Bee
Branch Sewer and will be construct-
ed in Nineteenth Street at the Bee
Branch Sewer to White Street and in
White and Jackson Streets in order
to carry the storm water off the
streets. The City has built storm
water sewers in Jackson Street from
Ninth to Eleventh Streets and in
Tenth Street from Jackson to White
Streets, and in Jackson Street from
Eleventh to Thirteenth, in Twelfth
Street from Jackson to White
Streets, and in Thirteenth Street
from Jackson to White Streets.
It will also be necessary to con-
struct some storm water sewers on
the hill district prior to paving cer-
tain streets next year. I therefore
feel that it will be necessary to is-
sue bonds to the amount of $50,000
to take care of these various storm
water sewer projects and would rec-
ommend that the necessary legisla-
tion be prepared and bonds issued
and dated August lst, and disposed
of by the City Treasurer from time
to time, in order to meet the cost of
the three contracts awarded.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Manager
be approved and the City Solicitor
be authorized to prepare the neces-

said sewers. Seconded by Council-

lowing vote:

Communication of City Manager
Carr, relative to a letter received by
him from H. A. Koester, Agent for
May Rogers, stating that on the
Treasurer's Books he finds that May
Rogers is assessed on $6,500.00 on
moneys and credits, and as he under-
stands it, there would be due on this
amount $32.50, but in addition to this
amount the ity has assessed her
$91.00, which he thinks is an error.
He hereby asks the Council to have
this corrected, and the Treasurer in-
structed to take this amount off his
books. Councilman Brede moved
that the prayer of the petition be
granted and the County Treasurer be
notified to cancel the $91.00 personal
taxes against May Rogers. Second-
ed by Councilman Rooney. Carried
by the following vote:
Yeas—Councilmen Brede, Gabriel

City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
July 20, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On June 28th, the
petition of Max Reznick, through
Walter Koerner, his attorney, acking
for a reduction of special assess-
ments on Lots 4, 5 and 6, in Cush-
ing's Addition, levied on account of
the construction of a sewer and side-
walk last year, was referred to the
City Manager.
The assessments as levied July 22,
1920, on account of the construction
of a sewer against these lots are as
follows: Lot 4, $91.77; Lot 5, $75.74;
Lot 6, $108.20. A further assessment
of $46.74 was levied against Lot 4
on acccount of the construction of a
sewer and turbine gutter. I have as-
certained from the City Assessor
that these lots are given on the city
tax books at a value of $200.00 each.
A fair valuation to be used in con-
nection with special assessments
would perhaps be $250.00 each, one-
quarter of which, or the amount to
be levied for any one assessment
would be $62.50. The above state-
ment would be true had the peti-
tioner protested against the assess-
ment on the date of its levy. At that
time we should have levied, under
the law, only $187.50 against these
three lots on account of the sewer,
instead of $275.21, which would have
been a reduction for Mr. Reznick of
$81.28. In view, however, of the fact
that this assessment was levied one
year ago and that it is impossible for
the city to continue to adjust assess-
ments indefinitely, I would recom-
164
Special Session, July 21st, 1921
mend that the petition be received
and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

cilman Melchior.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
July 20, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the meeting of
July 5th, a petition signed by J. H.
Rhomberg for the grading of Wall
Street from the levee front to East
Fourth Street, was referred to the
City Manager for investigation and
report.
Our city map shows this particular
block to be vacated, but I can find
no vacation notice. I, therefore,
think the map to be in eror and that
this is a dedicated street.
The petitioner, J. H. Rhomberg,
has paid no city taxes on this proj-
erty since 1907. I feel, therefore,
that it is not fair and just to the tax-
payers of the City of Dubuque to
spend any money for the improve-
ment of this property until such time
as Mr. Rhomberg has cleaned up his
account with the city. I would there-
fore recommend that the petition be
received and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

July 21st, 1921.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Last January a peti-
tion, signed by Mrs. Mary J. Doyle,
asking for a reduction in special
assessment as levied against Lot 306,
Woodlawn Addition, on account of
the improvement of Delaware ave-
nue, was referred to the City Man-
ager. Shortly after, I reported to the
Council, verbally, on this matter.
Mrs. Doyle is not satisfied and for
that reason I am reporting again in
this connection, in writing.
The assessment for the improve-
ment of Delaware avenue was levied
on October 4, 1919. The assessment
against Lot 306 amounted to $127.88.
The records show that on February
7, 1919, Mrs. Doyle petitioned the
Council for a reduction in this as-
sessment, which petition was re-
ceived and filed.
Mrs. Doyle has paid to date $76.82
on account 'of this improvement,
leaving a balance now due of $51.06
with interest from the date of the
last payment, which was made Au-
gust 28, 1920. Mrs. Doyle also owns
the small home, where she lives at
83 St. Mary's street.
Undoubtedly had Mrs. Doyle peti-
tioned the Council for a reduction in
this assessment at the time the as-
sessment was levied and taken the
other necessary steps In order to
protect herself as required by law,
she would have been granted a re-
duction in her assessment of not
less than the balance now due.
I am not in position to advise the
Council as to the proper policy to
pursue in the way of making a re-
duction in this assessment at this
time.
Respectfully submitted.
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
balance due on Mary J. Doyle's as-
sessment for the improvement of
Delaware avenue, amounting to
$51.06 and interest on same from
date of last payment. August 29,
1920. he cancelled and the Treasurer
be so instructed. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Rooney and carried by the

July 21st, 1921.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: It is quite necessary
that additional water be procured at
>;'agle Point, as at the present time
the production of water is very lit-
tle above our actual consumption
needs. I have conferred with Mr.
Maury in Chicago, with reference to
the hest wnv to increase our supply,
and after discussing the matter with
him. T am fully convinced that the
logical thing for the City to do is to
put in at once say three six-inch
driven wells, which will increase our
watar supply veru quickly.
As these wells are being driven, a
very accurate record will be kept of
Special Session, July 21st, 1921
the nature of the soil through which
the drill passes. In this way we will
determine as to the location of the
best grade pf soil, and later if the
test shows a satisfactory strata of
soil above the hard ground a large
diameter well can be put in which
will itself practically take care of
our present consumption.
These shallow wells will go down
to a depth of between ninety to a
hundred feet and will cost, complete
with strainer anu other accessories,
about five hundred dollars each. If
this proposition meets with the ap-
proval of the Council we will ar-
range to go ahead with the work in
a few days.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and the City pro-
ceed immediately to drill three shal-
low wells. Seconded by Councilman
Rooney. Carried by the following

City Manager Carr made the fol -
165
lowing recommendation:
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: I am handing you
herewith estimated value of the Du-
buque City Water Works as of July
1, 1921. This valuation has been
worked up very carefully by the Wa-
ter Works Superintendent, and I be-
lieve it is an accurate and conserva-
tive valuation of the plant at this
time. I would therefore recommend
that this value of $1,119,367 be set
by the City Council as the value of
the City Water Works Plant, to be
used in connection with the determ-
ination of the limit of indebtedness
of the City.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and that a resolu-
tion fixing the actual value of the
Dubuque City Water Works at
$1,119,367.23 be prepared by the City
Solicitor. Seconded by Councilman
Rooney. Carried by the following
vote:

Remonstrance of Mary A. Halpin,
stating that she is the owner of City
Lot 5R9 in the City of Dubuque, Ia.,
against which the City Council in-
tends to levy a special assessment
for the construction of a sanitary
:ewer in the alley between Locust
and Bluff streets. from the sewer in
Dodge street to a point about 75 feet
south of Jones street. Said assess-
ment to he levied against said lot
and Thos. Robinson et al, as owners
thereof, as per assessment plat on
file in the office of the City Clerk.
That she hereby remonstrates and
objects to the levy of said assess-
ment for the following reasons:
(1) Because said Lot abuts Bluff
Street in said City in which street
there is now a sanitary sewer for
which said Lot has been assessed,
and which sewer is in a serviceable
condition, and serviceably sufficient
to serve said Lot.
(2) Because said assessment con-
templated is not based upon the ben-
efit derived by the property sought
to be assessed, and is, therefore, i1 -
legal and void.
(3) Because the sewer abutting
said Lot in Bluff Street is amply suf-
ficient to serve said Lot and build-
ings located thereon, or buildings
which may be erected thereon, and
the sewer for which said assessment
is contemplated is not beneficial to
said Lot or necessary therefor.
(4) Because said assessment
contemplated against said Lot for
said sewer in said alley designated,
shall be in so made, in the nature of
a double assessment for an unneces-
sary "improvement" and shall be rea-
son thereof be illegal and void.
(5) Because the use if any, which
said Lot could, or would, derive from
said alleged sewer so constructed in
said alley designated, would be sup-
erfluous, as the said sewer in Bluff
169
Street is sufficient for said Lot.
Respectfully submitted,

foot through his attorneys, Lyon &

ging, attorneys for Charles Light-
foot in full settlement of said claim.

To the Mayor and City Council.
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—
We beg to call your attention to
the piece of macadam approach to
the High Bridge (foot of Fourth
street) approximately fifty feet,
which runs from Fourth street ex-
tension brick pavement to the bridge
proper (Toll House).
This short space has been in poor
condition for some time and it is
noly by the efforts of ourselves and
the Dubuque Electric Co., (operat-
ing the bus over the bridge between
Dubuque and East Dubuque) that
same has been kept in condition so
as to allow traffic to come and go
without broken auto springs, etc.
As this is one of the main traveled
road ways to Dubuque proper, which
should be a credit to the City, we
would ask you to give this matter
your early attention.
Respectfully,
DUBUQUE BRIDGE CO.,

the E15 feet S1/ lot 797 and west 40
feet S1/2 lot 796 were assessed for
sewer and same was paid July 3rd,

lot 796 is the only part of this prop-
erty that should rightfully be sub-
ject to this special assessment. Fur-
thermore this sewer abutts only the
E40 feet S1/2 796 and therefore is 20

does not serve the latter, presented.

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On July 25th the mat-
ter of a petition of John Murphy for
cancellation or reduction in 1920
taxes was referred to the City Man-
ager. I have investigated the mat-
ter and find that Mr. Murphy owns
property valued at approximately
$800.00 in excess of indebtedness. On
this basis the present taxes would
Special Session, August 12th, 1921 211
amount to probably under fifteen
dollars.
Mr. Murphy has always been a
good citizen and a hard working man.
On account of ill health he undoubt-
edly finds it very difficult to take
care of his necessary living expenses.
I would say in case it is posible
for the city to do so, that this would
be a case where a reduction of taxes
would be both deserved and appre-
ciated. I am not able to make any
recommendation in this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
prayer of the petition be granted and
that the City Clerk be authorized to
notify the County Treasurer to ac-
cept Seven Dollars and Fifty Cents
($7.50) in full for John Murphy's
taxes for 1920, on the following prop-
erty: Lots 1 of Sub. of Lot 42, Lot 2
of Sub of Lot 44, and Lot 43 in Oak
Grove Add.; also Lot 181, in Union
Add. Seconded by Councilman
Rooney. Carried by the following

Petition of Martha Marlin, et al.,
asking for a reduction in the assess-

foot embankment at one end of the

tent of about $500.00. Councilman
Brede moved that the petition be re-
ferred to the City Manager to effect
a settlement. Seconded by Council-

ty, Iowa; and
Whereas, the City Council of the
City of Dubuque has given careful
consideration to the various plans
which have been prepared and sug-
gestions submitted effecting the pro-
posed improvement and the location
or re -location of the road within the
limits defined, for the purpose of
adopting a plan which would entail
a minimum of expense and at the
same time provide a road which will
comply and meet with all require-
ments relative to modern and scien-
tific road construction; and
Whereas, all plans substantially
agreed as to the location of the via-
duct to be constructed over the
Illinois Central Railroad tracks at
Rockdale, and the City Council of
the Citl, of Dubuque is in accord
with such plans as to the construc-
tion and location of said viaduct,
and
Whereas, cne of the plans sub-
mitted pro\ isle for the re -location of
said road so that, wren completed
said road would intersect Grandview
avenue in the City of Dubuque ap-
proximately one thousand (1,000)
feet South of the present road and
such re -location would necessitate an
expenditure of about Twenty Thou-
sand $20,000.00) Dollars from the
Primary Road Fund, also about Two
Thousand ($2,000.00) Dollars for the
acquisition of the necessary land
right-of-way, and about Six Thou-
sand ($6,000.00) Dollars for grading
within the City of Dubuque, said
road when constructed to have a
grade of about Five and One-half
(5%5-) Per Cent; and
Whereas, should said road be con-
structed in accordance with said
plan, the City of Dubuque would be
renuired to maintain, in addition to
said road. another road in the pres-
ent location, which, together would
require the expenditure of consider-
able money annually without any
apparent or substantial benefit re-
sulting therefrom; and
Whereas, from reliable investiga-
tion and expert advice the City
Council has learned that a very de-
sirable road may be built from the
end of the viaduct, as proposed, to
the city limits and thence along the
present road to its present intersec-
tion with Grandview avenue, by re-
locating and maintaining the road to
the city limits from the viaduct at
an elevation of about Ten (10) feet
above the present road at the city
limits and said road, when thus con-
Special Session, September 2nd, 1921
strutted, would have a maximum
grade of Five and Eight -tenths
(5 8-10%) Per Cent; and
Whereas, the City Council, after
due deliberation and consideration.
is convinced that the present road,
with the changes as to grade and
location outside of the limits of the
city as herein proposed, is the most
practical, and, therefore, the most
acceptable route to be followed;
therefore be it
Resolved by the City Council of
the City of Dubuque, that the pro-
posed plan to re -locate said Military
Road from Rockdale to Grandview
avenue by constructing an entirely
new road be and the same is hereby
rejected.
Be it further resolved, that the
City Council approve the plan to
construct the proposed road from the
viaduct to the city limits so that
said road at the city limits will have
an elevation of approximately Ten
)10) feet above the present road,
and from the city limits to Grand-
view avenue said road shall main-
tain approximately its present loca-
tion, and when said road is finally
completed it shall have a grade of
not to exceed Five and Eight -tenths
(5 8-10%) Per Cent.
Be it further resolved that the City
Council, on behalf of the City of Du-
buque, does hereby announce and
declare that it stands ready to co-
operate with the officials of Dubuque
County and the State Highway Com-
mission in the construction of said
road and does respectfully request
that the Board of Supervisors of Du-
buque County take such steps as
may be necessary for the commence-
ment of the work of constructing the
viaduct with the least possible de-
lay, said Council realizing the fact
that whatever work can be done up-
on this road at this time will aid
materially in relieving the present
condition of unemployment and also
hasten the time when a modern first
class primary road will be built be-
tween Dubuque and Cascade.
Be it further resolved that a copy
of this resolution be sent to the
Board of Supervisors of Dubuque
County and the Dubuque Chamber of
Commerce.

These bonds represent a very at-
tractive investment for a certain
class of people. I believe that they

visions of law enacted by the last
legislature we will now proceed to
dispose of them in that manner.

September 2, 1921.
The City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In 1912 the City of
Dubuque bought a pump engine for
the Fire Department from the Robin-
son Company of St. Louis. This
piece of fire apparatus has been in
two serious accidents. About 1914 it
collided with a telephone pole and
fire hydrant, and in 1918 was in a
smash up with the fire apparatus
from the station on 18th and Couler
avenue. On account of the age of
this piece of apparatus, and on ac-
count of the misfortunes which have
befallen it, it is not in a satisfactory
condition. A few weeks ago, while
being tried out, it broke down en-
tirely; and while it is now in con-
dition fit for service, yet undoubt-
edly if a great deal of service was
demanded of it it would again break
down.
I had hoped that the expense of
this new piece of equipment would
be deferred until next year. It does
seem to me, however, to be a wise
precaution at this time to purchase
a new pumping engine for Fire Head-
quarters. Delivery can probably be
had by the 1st of January, in which
case we will have the benefit of this
additional equipment during that
season when fires are most frequent.
I would therefore respectfully rec-
ommend that authority be given to
advertise for a pumping engine hav-
ing the capacity of 1,000 gallons per
minute, the same to be delivered not
later than January 1st next. The
apparatus manufactured by the
American LaFrance Company, the
Seagrave Company ,and the Agrens-
Fox Company will be satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved and bids be
advertised for a 1,000 -gallon pumper
as mentioned in the recommenda-
tion. Seconded by Councilman Brede.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas — Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior,

Gentlemen: The anpropriations for
the year 1921 carry item of ten thou-
sand dollars for a new fire alarm
station. The City has already spent
two thousand dollars for the ground
and we have had plans prepared for
the building, which plans have been
approved by the National Board of
Fire Underwriters and the Gamewell
Company. The building as designed
will probably cost between five and
six thousand dollars. I would re-
spectfully request that authority to
advertise for the bids for the con-
struction of this building.
Respectfully submitted,

September 6, 1921.
The City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A number of years
ago, probably prior to the paving of
Ninth street, a storm sewer was laid
in Ninth street from Ninth and Iowa
to the alley between Central avenue
eptember- 6th, 1921
243
and White street. This storm sewer
is supposed to take the water from
the intersection of Ninth and Iowa
and Central and Ninth and is a lit-
tle 8 -inch sewer. This storm sewer
terminates at the alley between
Central avenue and White street and
is there connected into a 6 -inch san-
itary sewer.
I cannot understand how any one
at any time would permit such a
piece of construction work. I would
recommend at once that a 12 -inch
sewer be laid from the terminal
manhole of the storm sewer to Ninth
and White street, at this point tak-
ing up the water from inlets to be
placed at Ninth and White streets
and to be extended from Ninth and
White to Tenth and White as a 15 -
inch sewer to connect at Tenth and
White streets with the existing 18 -
inch storm sewer.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

The City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At a recent meeting
of the City Council the petition of
the Knights of Columbus, asking for
the cancellation of taxes levied
against their property located at 780
Iocust street, now for collection by
the County Treasurer, was referred
to the City Manager.
I inquired regarding this proposi-
tion from the City Assessor, who
told me that building was placed up-
on the tax list. This is an error, as
this property is used for fraternal
purposes and for that reason should
not be subject to taxation.
The County Treasurer, therefore,
should be instructed to cancel City
taxes against this property which
are now on the books.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Council Gabriel moved that the
recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and the County
Treasurer be notified to cancel the
City taxes against this property.

Communication of the Dubuque
Electric Co., relative to new fran
chise, presented.
September 15, 1921.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Dubuque in common with the en-
tire nation must, and soon will
emerge from the depression of the
last two years, and it is necessary
that public utilities be ready to meet
the demands of those improved con-
ditions. For years we have been
forced to the closest economics of
operation and to the lowest limits of
additions and improvement, but as
demands arise we must be able to
respond to the full measure of our
obligations to the public. If we are
to be prepared when these demands
arise it is imperative that we begin
to increase our production facilities
at the earliest possible moment, be-
cause the delivery and installation
of the necessary improvements will
require considerable time, labor and
money. For this the required cap-
ital must be secured and you are
aware of the impossibility to market
a bond which outruns the franchise,
and also the limited market and
burdensome terms which confront a
short term bond.
With these facts in mind we are
submitting herewith two proposed
franchises covering the future opera-
tion of our properties in this city
for which we ask consideration by
your honorable body, with the hope
that the provisions thereof will dis-
close themselves so distinctly in the
line of preserving the regulation and
control of our operation in the hands
of the city government, that you will
order the submission of the propo-
sitions to the legal voters for their
a pproval.
It may be helpful to know that
among the principal additions that
improved conditions will demand are
the completion of the steam plant
and accessories, already begun but
discontinued by reason of money
conditions, and the installation of a
new generating until of approxim-
ately 10,000 horse power capacity.
These will provide a total capacity
equal to all the hoped for demands,
and furnish the additional capacity
which the welfare of the city and its
industries are entitled to as a safety
factor, thus insuring quantity and
continuity of service.
Respectfully yours,
H. B. MAYNARD,
Vice -President.
Mr. Maynard addressed the Coun-
cil and stressed the importance of
early action for reasons express. in
his letter submitting the franchises.
Action was deferred as a sufficient
number of copies of the proposed
franchise had not been prepared for
distribution to the individual Coun-
cilmen.
Petition of J. R. Wallis, Trustee,
and Sarah O'Neil Wallis, by their
Attorneys, Frantzen, Bonson and Gil -
loon, to compromise the tax penalties
imposed by the City of Dubuque
against their property, presented.
Penalties imposed were as follows:
Against J. R. Wallis, Trustee, for
the year 1914, $77.09; for the year
1915, $315.14; for the year 1916,
$217.71; for the year 1917, $66.96;
making a total of $676.90.
Against Sarah O'Neil Wallis, for
the year 1914, $15.80; for the year
1915, $25.82; for the year 1916,
$12.40; for the year 1917, $5.60.
The petitioners claim that the said
taxes became barred four years from
the first day of January in the year
in which the tax books containing
the same were placed in the hands of
the City Treasurer, and that more
than four years have elapsed since
the tax books containing the taxes
254 Special Session, September 19th, 1921
for the last of said years were plac-
ed in the hands of the City Treasur-
er, and it, therefore, follows that the
penalties due on taxes for the last
year, as well as for all preceding
years, are barred, and the petitioners,
however, hereby offer to compromise
all of said taxes by the payment of
One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) and
ask that your Honorable Body auth-
orize and instruct the County Treas-
urer to accept the said sum of One
Hundred Dollars ($100.00) in full of
all tax penalties above referred to.
On the advice of City Solicitor
Czizek to accept the proposition,
Councilman Brede moved that the
prayer of the petitioners be granted
and the City Treasurer be instructed
to accept $100.00 in full of all tax
penalties assessed against J. R. Wal-
lis, Trustee, and Sarah O'Neil Wal-
lis. Seconded by Councilman Gab-
riel. Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.
Petition of S. B. Lattner, referee,
for the Richard Waller Estate, pre-
sented. The petitioner states that
through error an assessment of
$10,000.00 against money was enter-
ed in the Assessor's books in the
City of Dubuque for the year of 1920,
and that said assessment was void
by reason of the provision of Section
1310 of the supplement to the Code
of Iowa, which provides for a tax of
five mills on the dollar on moneys
and credits. And that it further pro-
vides that said millage tax shall be
in lieu of all other taxes upon
moneys and credits, and shall be col-
lected by the County Treasurer.
Your petitioner, therefore, respect-
fully asks that said assessment be
ordered cancelled in the sum of
$140.00.
Councilman Brede moved that the
prayer of the petition be granted,
and the County Treasurer be in-
structed to cancel the taxes on
moneys and credits, assessed against
the Richard Waller Estate on the
City's tax books. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Gabriel. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.
Petition of J. E. Boyle, asking per-
mission to remodel the front of the
Dreamland Theatre, Corner Fifth
and Main Streets, presented.
Councilman Melchior moved that
action on this be deferred until the
improvements on the back and side
walls of said building have been sat-
isfactorily completed and plans of
the proposed change of the front
submitted to the Council. Seconded
by Councilman Brede. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.
Petition of Mrs. Theresa Hemmi,
stating that the water of the recent
rains has damaged the property be-
tween Strauss and Lawther Avenues
and repairs be so made that this
will not happen in the future, pre-
sented. Councilman Rooney moved
that the petition be received and fil-
ed. Seconded by Councilman Brede.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.
Report of the City Treasurer, to
whom was referred the petition of
Elizabeth Aureden, owner of Lots 17
and 18, Hamburg Addition, present-
ed. Petitioner stated that her prop-
erty was not proportionately assess-
ed with other property in the same
neighborhood and asked for a reduc-
tion in taxes for 1920. The Treas-
urer's report shows the assessed val-
uation of six other property owners
in the same neighborhood, which
compare favorably with Mrs. Aure-
den's assessment.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the Treasurer's report be accepted
and that the petition be received and
filed. Seconded by Councilman
Brede. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.
Report of the City Treasurer and
the City Clerk, to whom was refer-
red the petition of Winifred Carney,
relative to penalties for failure to
pay taxes promptly, presented.
Petitioner stated that she had pe-
titioned former Councils at three
different times to reduce her assess-
ment. She also stated that the As-
sessor at t hat time told her that
there would be no interest to pay
while her petitions were pending.
We find on investigation that she
petitioned the Council for a reduc-
tion in taxes April 1, 1915. This pe-
tition was referred to the committee
of the whole. We find nothing more
relating to this petition.
We find that December 22, 1916, a
petition of Winifred Carney, relative
to a reduction of taxes on her prop-
erty was referred to the City Assess-
or. He reported as follows: That
the land value on Lot 1 of 16, First
King's Addition, owned by Winifred
Carney, was assessed for 1914 and
1915 without deducting the 10% on
i
Special Session, September 19th, 1921
255
land allowed by the Council. The re-
vised valuation should be $6,400.00
instead of $7,130.00 land value. I
therefore petition your Honorable
Body to instruct the City Treasurer
to have this amended on his books.
Respectfully submitted,
FRED HELLER,
City Assessor.
On motion of Alderman McLaugh-
lin the report of the City Assessor
was approved and the City Treasurer
instructed accordingly.
On examining the tax books we
find that the Assessor's recommenda-
tion was complied with, the land
value reduced and Winifred Carney
given a credit of $9.94 December 28,
1916; receipts No. 5989 and No. 5647.
Respectfully submitted,
OTTO F. PULS,
City Treasurer.

report of the City Treasurer and City
Clerk be approved and the petition

Communication of the Dubuque
Chamber of Commerce presented:
Dubuque City Council, Dubuque, Ia.
Attention, Mr. O. E. Carr.
Gentlemen: For the past eleven
years Dubuque has had a Municipal
Fireworks exhibition on the night of
July 4th in lieu of the periodic
"celebration" which is carried out in
many towns. This policy has result-
ed in decreased fire risks and has
been a saving to the businessmen.
Up and until last year the City has
always donated $200.00 to the ex-
pense of this fireworks display. From
this fact came its name, Municipal
Fireworks Exhibition. Last year the
expenses were paid out of the Com-
munity Chest Fund. This year in
an effort to centralize and co-ordi-
nate all funds that are raised from
the business men, the Chamber stood
sponsor for the exhibition.
The total xepenses of this year's
e hibition amounted to $1,074.39,
$800.00 of which was spent for fire-
works and the balance for the band
concert which preceeds the exhibi-
tion, the war tax on admissions and
various miscellaneous matters, such
as printing tickets, lighting the
grounds and building the band stand.
The Chamber would appreciate
very much the assistance of the City
Council by their donating the usual
$200.00 as was given in the past. This
sum is included in the budget so
this will not be a deviation from
your Budget, page 17, No. 142,

Gentlemen: In order to eliminate
the confusion in the city on account
of new street names and numbers,
which is causing a delay in the com-
piling of the new City Directory, in
making up the telephone directory
and also in the postofflce, I have felt
it desirable to put additional people
at work to complete this work as
soon as possible. To make matters
worse, Professor Hornick, who had
been engaged on this work during
the summer and who I had expected
would stay indefinitely, advised me
on Sept. 8th that he had discontinued
this work and had accepted other
employment on the 6th.
I have arranged with Mr. C. E.
Bradbury, Mr. F. W. Faherty and
Miss Martha Considine to carry on
this work at a rate of $4.50 per day.
I would also like to employ addition-
al help at the same compensation.

September 26, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In accordance with
your instructions, bids were receiv-
ed on Tuesday, September 27, for
the furnishing of one triple combina-
tion pumping chemical and hose
wagon for the Fire Department.
Each company agreed to supply
the apparatus in full accordance
with the general specifications of the
city and detailed specifications of
their own. The following bids were
received:
The Stutz Fire Engine Co., $13,000.
American La France Co., $13,360.
Seagrave Co., $13.300.
Ahrens Fox Fire Engine Co.,
$13.850.
The pumper furnished by the
Ahrens Fox Co. is a piston type of
Pump.
The pumper furnished by the Sea-
261
grave Co. is a centrifugal pump.
The American La France and the
Stutz both equip their apparatus
with a so-called rotary pump.
The apparatus furnished by the
Seagrave, American La France and
Ahrens Fox Companies have all
stood excellent tests for years, giv-
en by the Underwriters' Associotion
and are all old established compan-
ies. The apparatus furnished by any
of these three companies would un-
questionably meet the requirements
of the City of Dubuque in a very sat-
isfactory manner.
The Chief of the Fire Department
Joins me in recommending to the
City Council that the proposal of
the American La France Co. be ac-
cepted and that the execution of a
contract between this company and
the City of Dubuque be authorized.
The difference in price is not suf-
ficient to be given very much con-
sideration. Each company, however,
was asked to state the amount which
they would give for the old Jumbo
pumper, on delivery of the piece of
apparatus which they might furnish.
On the •basis of their offers for the
old piece apparatus, the American
La France Company's proposal will
mean a somewhat less outlay of cash
for the equipment than the proposal
of any of the other three companies.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the recommendation of the City Man-
ager and the Chief of the Fire De-
partment be approved and the City
Manager be authorized to enter into
a contract with the American La
France Co. for one triple combina-
tion pumping, chemical and hose
wagon for the Fire Department.
Seconded by Councilman Brede. Car-

Petition of Annie M. Dolan pre-
sented. She states that she is the
owner of the North Middle twenty
(20) feet of City Lot 83, in the City
of Dubuque, and that shortly here-
tofore she learned that the property
was sold on or about the 25th of
April, 1921, for special assessments
as follows: Sewer, $35.48; alley,
$61.19; Second Street improvement,
$56.19; Locust Street improvement,
$128.97, making a total of $281.83;
that this sale carries with it a pen-
alty of 8r< and 8e; interest from
the 25th day of April, 1921, making
a total of $314.66. She further states
that she made payments on these
special assessments on December
14th, 1917, as follows: On alley be-
tween Main and Locust, $13.50; on
Second Street, $12.30; on alley be-
tween Main and Locust, $20.50, mak-
ing credits in the sum of $46.30;
stating that she has receipts of the
properly accredited officer of the
City for the same. She further rep-
resents that she is a widow, has
little or no property and lives un-
der very frugal circumstances, and
will experience hardship in redeem-
ing this little property from this
burden of special assessment and
penalty under sale. She therefore
prays your Honorable Body for a
,cancellation of the interest and pen-
alties assessed against her and re-
duction of the amount due from her,
in order to redeem to a minimum
consistent with the good conscience
.of your Honorable Body.

Communication of James F. Lee,
contractor, stating his reasons for
not completing the contract of the
Bluff Street improvement from 8th
Street to the intersection of Bluff
and Locust Streets, presented.
Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 7th, 1921.
City Council, City Manager, Du-
buque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In reference to the
extension of time for the comple-
tion of my contract on Bluff Street,
I beg to submit the following for
your consideration:
I was awarded contracts in April
for the improvement of Heeb Street,
Jackson Street and Washington
Street, from Eighth to Eleventh
Streets. I started work on Jackson
Street April 19, or just as soon as
the weather conditions permitted. A
severe snow storm prevented my
starting on this job earlier. Within
one week, or on April 25th, the City
forces took possession of the north
end of this street in the construc-
tion of sewers, catch basins and in-
takes until about the first of July
and this street was not put in its
original condition as found until
some time later. We started work
on the improvement of Heeb Street
on April 28th. The contract date for
the completion of this job was Sep-
tember 1st. The actual working
time for completing this work was
not over ten days, and the work
was completed May 22nd.
I started work on my Eleventh
Street contract on May 6th. The
City immediately took possession of
this street in the excavation for
water mains, new hydrant connec-
tions, storm sewers, sanitary sewers
and gas, and continued operations
on this street until July 14th. On
account of the City's occupancy of
Jackson Street and Eleventh Street
during this interval, I was not able
to make any definite plans or map
268
Regular Session October 7, 1921
out any program for the completion
of my work within the contract time,
as I was unable to get any informa-
tion from the City Engineer relative
to the City's intentions in regard to
snaking the above mentioned exca-
vations. During this time I en-
deavored on four different occasions
to get the necessary instructions
from the City Engineer relative to
the Washington Street improvement
from Eighth Street to Eleventh
Street, but owing to some con-
troversy regarding the location of
new railroad track he was unable
to give me the necessary instruc-
tions. With this situation exisiting
at that time, I was fortunate to se-
cure a contract for the improve-
ment of the car tracks on Central
Avenue which permitted me to keep
my organization intact. This job
was awarded to me on May 20th and
work was started on May 26th. The
date of completion as per contract
was placed at August 15th. The
original contract on this street was
increased over 50% and .the work
was completed July 2nd, including
a delay of five days on account of
weather and the street railway com-
pany's operations in preparing the
work ahead. This contract was com-
pleted in 27 working days. After
completing this contract, we again
started work on Eleventh Street, in
the laying of brick gutters, but I
was unable to complete •the work of
surfacing the street or make any
definite plans for the same, as the
City's forces were still working at
the White Street intersection sub-
sequently at the Jackson Street
and Washington Street intersections,
making storm sewer connections.
After the City had completed opera-
tions on Jackson Street, I was given
to understand that a track extension
was to be made above Tenth Street,
but I was unable to get any definite
information as to the starting point
of this track extension on the north
until about July 14th. A delay of
four days occurred after this in
awaiting delivery of new ties and
new rails on this street by the I. C.
R. R. Company. On July 30th we
started excavation on Washington
Street, at Eleventh Street, working
south. Up to this time nor for some
time later could I get any definite
information regarding the railway
trackage as above mentioned. About
September 10 I was advised that a
new line of track would be placed
along the curb line on the east side
of Washington Street from Eighth
Street to Tenth Street. I immedi-
ately started excavating for this
track and had almost completed the
same when we were advised that it
was not properly located. After a
delay of some two weeks in adjust-
ing a controversy betwen the rail-
road company and property interests
on this street, we got final and
definite instructions as to the loca-
tion of this track, which involved ex-
tra and additional expense to me in
making new excavation for the
above trackage. On June 4th I was
awarded a contract for the improve-
ment of Washington Street from
Seventh 'Street to Eighth Street
which would have been completed
within the contract timewere it not
for the intervening of the City as
before mentioned and the delay en-
countered in the location of the rail-
road trackage.
On July 26th I was awarded a
contract for the improvement of Bluff
Street. I was advised in a letter
from the City Ma:nager, dated Aug.
31st, that I would not be permitted
to start any work on Bluff Street
until the completion of the above
mentioned contracts were assured. I
endeavored on two different occa-
sions to get the necessary informa-
tion from the City Engineer regard-
ing the completion of the Bluff
Street contract. About September
10th I was again advised by the
City Manager that I would not be
permitted to start work on this con-
tract until the completion of the en-
tire three contracts (Jackson, Wash-
ington and Eleventh Streets) was as-
sured. On September 21 I again
asked for instructions as to the com-
pletion of this work and was ad-
vised in a letter from the City Man-
ager on the day following that I
could not start until the completion
of Jackson Street and Washington
was assurred. At that time I had
one day's work to complete on Jack-
son Street and it was completed
within the contract time. In con-
nection with the aforementioned
contracts, I am able to show that I
am in no way responsible for the
delays whcih have occurred and at
the present writing I am complet-
ing the track work on Washington
Street from Tenth Street to Elev-
enth Street, on my attorney's ad-
vice, at considerable additional ex-
pense to me in being compelled to
excavate under rails and ties, hav-
ing had verbal orders from the City
Engineer on July 30th to omit this
particular track work. I beg to state
further in this connection that I
have been delayed and handicapped
by the interventions of property
owners along this Washington Street
contract in dictating the construc-
tion of this work. The time fixed
for the completion of my work on
Dodge Street is November 1st. I
am also pushing the completion of
this job in every way possible, al-
1
Regular Session, October 7, 1921
though I have factors to deal with
over which I have no control. I am
willing to submit to any penalty you
niay deem proper for my failure to
complete either of these contracts or
any contract that may be awarded to
me in the future within the allotted
time, but I shall expect the City to
assume the same obligation with me
in the way of penalty for any delays
sustained at their hands.
I have asked for an extension of
time for the completion of Bluff
Street, for which I feel that I am
rightfully entitled, in view of the
above circumstances, and I am still
awaiting your action in this matter.
Yours very respectfully,
JAS. F. LEE.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: —In accordance with
your request, bids were received at
2:00 o'clock p. m., October 6, for the
furnishing of all labor and material
necessary for the construction of a
fire alarm building, the same to be
located on city property at Central
avenue and Eighteenth street. The
following bids were received:
Anton –wack $6,648.00
.lames Gregory $7,927.00
Ulrich Willy ............ . $8,150.00
Albert Ney .._ $5,989.00
The last bidder, however, did not
include in his price the cost of
plumbing and steam heating. Our
estimate would be that the cost of
plumbing and steam heat would be
not less than $1.500.00. This being
considered, the hid of Anton Zwack
is the lowest bid received for the
construction of this building and is
also in line very • closely with the
estimate of the architect, Mr. Karl
Saam. Mr. Zwack also assures the
completion of this building ninety
clays alter the award of contract for
the building.
I would therefore recommend that
the e
rection of a
building tfor the fireract for llalarc
alarm and police

Zwack.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—I beg to advise of
the appointment of Mr. J. F. Correll,
188 West 14th street, as City Elec-
trician, at the salary of $140.00 per
month, which is the rate of compen-
sation provided for in the appropria-
tion ordinance.
Mr. Correll has had a vast exper-
ience on electric work in various
parts of the country and is well qual-
ified for the work in connection with
the maintenance of the fire alarm
system and also for the duties de-
volving upon a regular City Electric-
ian who will also act as inspector of
electric wiring in the city when such
inspection is required by city ordin-
ance.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the action of the City Manager be
approved. Seconded by Councilman

October 7, 1921.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: During the past year
there has been accumulating a large
number of requests for additional
al streets lights. Practically all of
these requests are fully justified. On
the other hand, we have to consider
the fact that our budget for 1921 in-
cludes $50,290.10 for street lighting.
Also in this connection there is no
estimated need for the placing of ad-
ditional street lights. It is therefore
necessary for me to present my rec-
ommendation to the City Council for
additional street lights in order that
the appropriation may be secured
for the money necessary in order to
maintain these additional lights from
November 1st to April lst next.
My recommendations are as fol-
lows:
That the street light at the corner
of Davis Avenue and Johnson Street
be transferred to the corner of Queen
Street and Clinton Street.
That the street light at the corner
of Davis Avenue and Burden Avenue
be transferred to Marquette Place.
That an additional street light be
placed at the corner of Dubuque
Avenue and Audubon Avenue.
That an additional street light be
placed at the corner of Algona Ave-
nue and Dubuque Avenue. Also:
At the intersection of Twelfth and
Jackson Streets.
On Rhomberg Avenue at Stanton
Street (Sixth Avenue).
On Rhomberg Avenue at Emerson
street (Fourth Avenue).
On Kane Street at the angle north
of Kaufman Avenue.
Two additional lights on White
Street, the exact location to be
worked out.
One additional light on Grandview
Avenue at Bennett Street.
These lights, in my Judgment, in-
clude those most badly needed.
These arcs will cost the City $65.00
per year, for a 600 candle power
light and $57.50 for the 400 candle
power light.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Manager
be approved and the lights be in-
stalled. Seconded by Councilman
Gabriel. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.

To the City Manager and the City
Council.
Gentlemen: Have interested my-
self toward acquiring another School
Nurse to assist Miss Dolan with the
work in connection with the Pa-
rochial schools as per your resolu-
tion a few weeks since.
We have approximately 4,000 pu-
pils enrolled in the Parochial schools,
entirely too many for one School
Nurse to properly care for, however
efficient she may be.
I recommend that Miss Dolan be
paid a salary of $130.00 per month.
She is experienced in the work and
has proven to be willing and capable.
Her past and present salary of
$120.00 per month is clot comensurate
with her services.
I further recommend the employ-
ment of Miss May Ryan as assistant
to Miss Dolan, at the salary of
$120.00 per month for the remainder
of the fiscal year.
I feel this action is entirely neces-

mentioned are both fair to our em-

be approved, and Miss Dolan's salary

other property owners, I would rec-

Gentlemen: Some time ago the
petition of Mrs. Harriet Marlin, cor-

sessment levied on June 3, 1915, for
the improvement of Quince Street
be reduced, was referred to the City
Manager with power to effect a set-
tlement and report the terms of set-
tlement to the City Council for their
approval.
I beg to advise that a settlement
has been effected on the basis of the
amount of the original levy for this
improvement, or $222.04, plus 75c ad-
vertising costs and county fees.
There is, in my judgment, no rea-

Dubuque City Council, Dubuque,
Iowa.
Gentlemen: I wish to petition
your Honorable Body in behalf of
Mrs. John Heery and Marcella
Heery, of Cascade, Iowa, Dubuque
County, to reduce the amount of
the special assessment against her
Lots 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Outlot 712.
Quigley's Sub., in this City. The
present assessment being in the
amount of $341.03, plus interest, said
assessment being levied August 21,
1902. We ask for this reduction in
view of the fact that the lots sold
for far less than the above assess-
ment. We are willing to propose a
settlement with the City in the
amount of $62.50.
Hoping that your Honorable Body
will be in position to favor the above
proposal, and thanking you in ad-
vance for all interests shown in the
matter,
Yours truly,
MRS. JOHN HEERY AND
MARCELLA HEERY.

Petition of Bessie Kennedy pre-
sented.
Honorable Mayor and City Commis-
sioners of the City of Dubuque,
Iowa.
Gentlemen: In June, 1915, special
assessment for the improvement of
Hill Street was levied against Lot
14 of Geo. W. Rogers' Sub., in the
City of Dubuque, Iowa, in the name
of Miss Bessie Kennedy for the
amount of $S0.32. This assessment
has never been paid because Miss
Kennedy felt that the amount of the
assessment is in excess of the lot
value.
About a year ago Miss Kennedy
interviewed Manager Carr regarding
a settlement and Mr. Carr, at that
time, suggested that Miss Kennedy
pay one-half of the original assess-
ment, or $40.16 and costs, exclusive
of interest, and that he thought such
an amount would be satisfactory in
lieu of the claim. At that time Miss
Kennedy did not think this a fair set-
tlement. Since then, however, after
thinking the matter over, and wish-
irg to bring the matter to a settle-
ment, she has considered the offer of
Mr. Carr a fair one and now petitions
your Honorable Body to settle the
claim on that basis: One-half of
the original assessment, plus costs,
exclusive of interest.
Mr. Carr in a talk with the writer
a few days ago, expressed his ap-
proval of the offer of the settlement
as above, and it is hoped that the
Council will look with favor upon
the proposal.
Respectfully yours,
MISS BESSIE KENNEDY.
By W. A. Kennedy, Agent.

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: During the past sea-
son the Park Board has improved the
drive into Eagle Point Park beyond
the entrance by laying a concrete
pavement. That part of Shiras Ave-
nue from the park entrance to the
end of the present improvement is
and has been for years in very bad
condition.
In order that Eagle Point Park
be made properly available to the
public, this stretch should be paved
at the earliest possible time. Also,
prior to paving, it is necessary that
the street be graded and t hat a
couple of culverts and a retaining
wall be constructed. The present
time, to me, seems an opportune
time to do this work.
The work of improving Rhomberg
Avenue from the old end of Rhom-
berg Avenue to Lincoln Avenue will
be completed tomorrow. If the prop-
osition of the improving of Shiras
Avenue at this time is acceptable to
the City Council, I would further de-
sire to go ahead and do this work
by day labor, giving immediate em-
ployment to any men who may at
this time need work. Our estimates
are not yet completed. Each of the
culverts, however, will require some -
think like sixty yards of reinforced
concrete and something like two tons
of reinforcing steel.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and the work be

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: During the present
year, delinquent tax penalties
amounting to approximately two
thousand dollars have been collected
by the City, or the payment has been
arranged for. There are still out-
standing quite a good many of these
delinquent tax penalties, which, in
justice to those who have already
paid their own, should be collected
by the City.
The City Solicitor advises that
most of these penalties are legally
collectible. I would, therefore, sug-
gest that the Council direct the City
Solicitor to advise these parties who
are still delinquent in the payment
of these tax penalties of the neces-
sity for them to pay these penalties,
and if they are not paid they will
be turned over to the County for col-
lections with other delinquent special
assessments and personal taxes
which were not turned last
year.

June 2, 1921.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—Some time ago, a pe-
tition for cancellation of taxes, as
filed by Mrs. Anna Fischer, 929 High
Bluff street, was referred to the City
Manager for investigation and re-
port.
I beg to advise that the property
referred to is Lot 41, Coopers' Addi-
tion, and was assessed in 1919 at
$1,030. I would say it was worth
twice that amount. City taxes now
due on this property amount to
$17.36. In past years since Mr. Fis-
cher's death they have been paid by
Mr. Trewin, who holds an $800 mort-
gage against this property. This
property has been exempted from
county taxes since 1918.
Mrs. Fischer has five children, the
oldest daughter being about twenty-
one and the next daughter about
nineteen. The second daughter is
now working. There is also a little
grandchild at the house. Mrs. Fis-
cher undoubtedly has a very hard
time of it to support the family and
to pay the interest on taxes against
the place.
If it were legally possible to do
so, I would recommend that taxes
against her property be cancelled.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
prayer of the petition of Mrs. Fis-
cher, asking for exemption of taxes
on the above property be granted,
and the Treasurer be so notified.

Remonstrance of D. J. Lenehan,
protesting against the assessment for
the construction of said sewer
against his property, for the follow-
ing reasons, presented. 1—That no
Dart of objector's property, proposed
to be assessed for the construction
of said sewer, was or is benefitted
in any manner by the construction
of said sewer. 2—The alleged cost
or expense of said sewer is not equal-
ly or fairly distributed upon the
property abutting upon the same, or
adjacent thereto; and is not an
equitable levy of the cost thereof in
Proportion to any benefits derived
from said improvement. 3—The pro-
posed assessment is not in compli-
ance with the law regulating the
same, and is excessive as to the
total sum proposed to be assessed
and levied, and is in excess of the
amount authorized by law to be lev-
ied as the cost of such construction.

Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 20, 1921.
Mr. 0. E. Carr, Mgr. City of Du-
buque, and Councilmen.
Gentlemen:—We place the follow
ing request before you to be taken
up by you with the City Councilmen
at the earliest possible elate, so that
a favorable decision will, without
delay, permit us to make slight
changes in the arrangement of the
space occupied by the Dubuque
L'•oys' Club.
During a period of years part of
the second floor of the City Hall
and practically the entire third
floor of the same building has been
occupied by the Dubuque Boys' Club.
1 endering a service to hundreds of
under -privileged boys. During the
summer the trustees of the Dubuque
Loys' Welfare Association, (spons-
ors for the Dubuque Boys' Club) de-
( 'clod that the work with these boys
c:,ust increase in scope or eventually
dwindle. This due partly to the in-
ability of Miss Van Duzee, Dubuque's
boy enthusiast, to give the work the
time required. It was therefore nec-
cssary to hire a paid superintendent
and we have secured a most capable
pian in the person of Earl G. Cook.
We have come to the time when
, e, the trustees and works, con-
sider it advisable to have a definite
understanding with your body with
reference to continued use of pres-
ent quarters and possibilities for
slightly increasing space used, and
it is with that in mind that we are
addressing you.
We are confident that this space
in our City Hall cannot be used to
better advantage, and we see no
reason why it cannot be understood
that the quarters are available for
this work as long as the work con-
tinues, and in reference to the extra
space, we believe this can and will
be arranged, if possible. Otherwise
we, of course, will have to get on
with our present quarters. We are
in hopes that some day some re-
arrangement of a second floor will
permit of an extension of our quar-
ters and perhaps at this very mom-
ent this is not entirely impossible.
In talking this matter over with you
a few days ago, you stated that it
might be well for possibly Mr. Cook
and myself, and perhaps other trus-
tees, to appear before your Body. If
you think it advisable, we will glad-
ly appear. Please remember that
eve are all busy people, and if things
c an be worked out with less appli-
cation of time it is better for all
concerned.
We sincerely appreciate �ieciate the very
great favors extended to the Boys'
Club by the present anhpas city
administrations. They ave
possie
ble the development of thmadis
work and we are sure that the city's
294

interest and the interest of the in-
dividuals call for a furthering of
this work and a granting of our, re-
quest, as surely we must all appre-
ciate that . work of this kind de-
velops our citizenship and indirectly
reduces considerably our direct cost
for prosecution, care, keep, etc.
Yours very truly,
DUBUQUE BOYS' WELFARE
ASSOCIATION.

Petition of Finley Hospital pre-
sented.
Honorable Mayor and CCity Council.
Gentlemen:—At the last meeting
of our Directors, it was called to
our attention that automobiles pass-
ing Finley Hospital were evtremely
noisy and were disturbing many of
our patients, especially those who
were confined to the Hospital on
account of nervous conditions.
We beg to ask permission to erect
two signs, which will state that this
is a quiet zone and will request
motorists and others to observe it.
Our idea would be to place one sign
on the south side of Delhi street
between the Hospital and the corner
of Grandview avenue, and another
sign on the west side of Delhi street
between the hospital and the corner
of Fifth street. This would place
the two signs approximately two
blocks apart. We would probably
want a sign similar in size and shape
to those placed near some of the
schools.
Yours respectfully,
FINLEY HOSPITAL.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: — Mrs. Anna Hug,
whose address is 85 Lime street,
owns property at that address. She
says she cannot pay her taxes this
year. City taxes amounted to $10.00
last year. I have inquired regarding
Mrs. Hug and believe that hers is a
very worthy case. She is an old lady
past eighty years of age and is with-
out any means of support, except
what little she raises on her ground
and with what she gets from board-
ers which she keeps. Then, too, she
has to support a grandchild whose
father has refused to help support.
At the request of Mrs. Hug, I am
calling this matter to your attention.
Respectfully submitted,

October 28, 1921.
City Council,
Gentlemen: —In connection with
the improvement of Jackson street
next year, it is very important that
provisions be made for taking care
of the surface drainage. The plans
by the Engineer provide for a 60 -
inch sewer under the tracks of the
Milwaukee Railroad Company, at
the foot of Nineteenth street, and
extending up to Washington street,
ebr,nging in size at Elm street to
54 -inch, the 54 -inch extending to
.Ta Orson street and a 36 -inch sewer
in Jackson street to Twenty-first
street. It is also our intention to
lay a similar sewer south on Elm
street and south on Jackson street,
in order to take care of the drain-
age from the various street inter-
sections. The Engineer estimates
the cost of the above mentioned
sewers, namely, the 60 -inch. 54 -incl:
and 36 -inch together with manholes,
Lead wall. etc., to be approximately
$27,000.
Tinder the Appropriation Ordin-
ance, passed last March, the Coun-
r it appropriated for sewer construc-
tion, from current revenues, the sum
295
of $35.290.98. There is also avail-
able from the bond issue of $50,000
•made for the construction of the
Lincoln avenue sewer, something
like $5,000. Of this total there is
now an unincumhered balance
amounting to about $30,000. Thera
has been, however, expenditures
made for which no appropriation
was made, for the construction of
the gutters along Dodge street,
amounting to in the neighborhood of
$3,000. There should he, therefore,
still available from the funds already
authorized, a balance sufficient to
pcy for this new construction:
The plans for this work have been
ready for some time. I have de-
ferred placing the matter before the
City Council on account of the fact
that the consent of the Milwaukee
R.tilroad Company has not yet been
secured, to pass under their tracks.
In case their consent is withheld,
we will have to change our plans to
connect with the Bee Branch sewer
on the west side of their tracks.
This will reduce the cost materially
but will not be as satisfactory from
an engineering point of view.
I would ask for authority from the
City Council to receive bids on this
work, bids as received to cover both
locations. This work can go ahead
immediately and aid in taking care
cf the unemployed in the city.
Respectfully submitted.
O. E. CARR.
City Manager.

recommendation of the City Man-

October 28, 1921.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—At a meeting of the
Council held on October 24, the peti-
tions of George Fritsch and Mrs.
Tuegle, both requesting permission
to tear up Central avenue for the
purpose of making water connec-
tions, were referred to the Ctiy
Manager.
I find that on April 3, 1913, the
City Council directed that notices he
served upon all people along Collier
avenue from Twenty-sixth street to
Peru road, advising them to make all
necessary connections and at the
same time a resolution was passed
forbidding anyone to open this street
for a period of ten years after April
23, and providing for a fine of one
hundred dollars for each violation of
such resolution. Inquiry along this
street shows that notices were duly
served upon all of the abutting prop-
erty owners.
I understand that Mrs. Tuegel's
only means of support is the brick
building located at 2247 Couler ave-
nue, and I also assume that she felt
at the time that she could not afford
either the connection or the use of
city water. My suggestion would be
that she arrange to hook onto the
tap of one of her neighbors until
such time as it will be possible to
permit her to tear up the street.
'.!'hese taps are very conveniently
situated and a connection can be
made and both houses can be sup-
plied from the same service. While
this is contrary to the Water Works
rules, yet in my judgment it is the
best solution to this proposition.
The matter of the petition of J.
Fritsch is different. The lot at 200
Central avenue runs from Central
avenue to White street. Mr. Fritsch
lives on White street. This lot was
properly connected with both sewer
and water years ago. The lot on
`White street has since been divided
and the portion on White street im-
proved. The house occupied by Mr.
Fritsch on White street has been
supplied with water from some time
and has already been installed with
the necessary fixtures. There seems
to have been sort of a neighborhood
quarrel and the party living next to
him has disconnected the water sup-
plied to Mr. Fritsch, which had pre-
viously passed through their 'home.
Assuming that there would be no
difficulty in making the connection
on Central avenue, Fritsch has al-
ready laid the lateral across the
other lot to the curb on Central ave-
nue. In view of these facts, I would
suggest that a special permit be
granted to Mr. Fritsch to make the
connection on Central avenue. The
water main is located only about
eleven feet from the curb line, which
will not mean very much of an
excavation in the street.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
report of the City Manager on the
petitions of Mrs. Tuegel and Joe
Fritsch be approved. That Mrs. Tue-
gel connect onto the tap of one of
her neighbors, and Mr. Fritsch he
given a special permit to conned
with water mains on Central avenue.

charged soldier of the War of the
Rebellion, is entitled to exemption
from taxation as provided by sta-
tute. Mrs. Larkin was the owner of
Lot 12 of 2 of City Lot 720 in the
City of Dubuque, Iowa, and has al-
ways received a tax exemption on
s..id property. Early in the year of
1920 this property was sold to Mar-
thr Eckler, and Mrs. Larkin became
the owner of Lot 1 of Dillon's Sub-
division. This property being assess-
ed to Henry C. Bechtel and by error
he property formerly owned by Mrs.
1 -akin is being carried as being sub-
jf ct to an exemption, while Lot 1 of
Dillon's Sub. is still assessed to
Henry C. Bechtel, and Mrs. Larkin
has not received the exemption she
is entitled to for the year of 1920,
while Martha Eckler who was not
t,ntitled to an exemption is receiving
the exemption on her property. I
respectfully request your Honorable
Body to have the necessary correc-
tion made in order that the under-
signed may receive the exemption
that she is by statute entitled to.

Gentlemen:—In about September.
1917, the undersigned, J. P. Frantzen
and E. F. Lusch, executors of the
estate of Rose M. Walker, filed ob•
jections to special assessments
axainst Lots 28, 29 and 30 in Finley,
Waples and Burton's addition in the
City of Dubuque, abutting O'Hagan
street, which said property was as-
sessed to Rose M. Walker. The re-
monstrance which we made against
the assessment was received and
filed, and we thereupon took an ap-
peal to the District Court of Du-
buque County, Iowa, which said ap-
peal is still pendicg. The total as-
sessment against said three lots was
as follows: $150.00 against Lot 2S,
463.88 against Lot 29 and $28.04
against Lot 30, being a total of
$241.92. That at one time we offer-
ed to compromise for $150.00 in full
payment of the $241.92 assessed
against the said three lots. Since
that time we have paid the sum of
$33.64 on Lot 30. We still stand
ready to make settlement on the
basis of the former offer of $150.00,
less the $33.64 which we have paid:
or, in other words, pay in a balance
of $116.36 in full payment of said
special assessment against said lots
for the improvement of O'Hagan
street. We might say incidentally
that the Assessor made a mistake in
assessing these lots together, and in
that manner it has been impossible
for us to pay the City taxes against
this property which, if this matter
is settled, we will pay in addition to
the special assessment.
Respectfully,
ROSE M. WALKER ESTATE.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—The improvement of
Bluff street from Eighth street to the
intersection of Bluff and Locust
streets, James Lee, contractor, has
been completed. I would recommend
the acceptance of the same by the
City. The total cost of this improve-
ment will be slightly under $2.00 per
sq. yd. The asbestos bitulithic top-
ping was placed for $1.21 per sy. yd.
The street required considerable bin-
der in order to build it up sufficient-
ly to apply the surface. This binder
cost about 75c per sq. yd. instead of
25c as originally estimated.
When we actually began to secure
a grade to drain the street, it be-
came evident that the previous pave-
ment had been put in without follow-
ing any real line or grade. The fact
that the work was done without pro-
per engineering was largely respons-
ible for the extra 50c per sq. yd. for
binder.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
A Resolution.
Whereas, the contract for the im-
provement of Bluff street from the
north property line of Eighth streat
to the intersection of Locust and
Bluff street has been completed, and
Whereas, the City Manager has
examined said work and recom-
mended its acceptance, now there-
fore be it
Resolved by the City Council of
the City of Dubuque, that the recom-
mendation of the City Manager be
approved and that the City Engineer
be and he is hereby instructed to

provement and file the same in the

Clerk shall upon receipt of such plat

said assessment as is required by
law.

Application for Suspension of Taxes.
The undersigned being the guar-

her and her Estate respectfully peti-
tions that the taxes for the year
1920 be suspende dand in support
hereof states:
That Mrs. Wagner is about 80
years old and in a helpless condi-

no money or property except the
above described real estate from
which she derives any profit or ben-
efit, and it is impossible for her to
secure sufficient funds with which to
pay the taxes assessed against her
for the year 1920 upon the above
described real estate.
Wherefore, your petitioner prays
tliat you may order the County
Treasurer to suspend the collection
of taxes assessed against Mrs. Wag-
ner, her polls and estate for the
year 1920 and make a proper record
of your action upon the same.

November 7th, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Last year at the time
of the December tax sale, we had
not yet exhausted all reasonable ef-
forts in the collection of delinquent
taxes on personal property. For that
reason the delinquent taxes on per-
sonal property were not certified to
the County for collection.
Through an error, a considerable
number of pieces of property which
were duly advertised for sale last
year were not sold, as was determ-
ined only by checking back on the
Treasurer's books with the tax cer-
tificates as purchased by the City
land other purchasers. Inasmuch as
the last year's tax sale was finally
adjourned in September, these pieces
of property must now again be cer-
tified to the County and re -adver-
tised.
The deferred payments on these
assessments levied prior to April
12th, 1920, are still being collected
by the City Treasurer. There are
some delinquent assessments on
these lists, together with a few de-
linquents which were not advertised
,last year through either an error or
promise of the owners to take care
of the payments within a few months.
I would therefore recommend that
the City Clerk be instructed to cer-
tify to the County Treasurer for col-
lection, all delinquent general taxes
on personal property due in 1920 or
previously, and on delinquent taxes
on account of special assessment, re-
gardless of the date of special assess -
315
went or of the reason why the same
was not paid.
This certification must be in the
hands of the County Treasurer not
later than Wednesday evening, No-
vember 9th, in order to be taken care
of in the regular way.
Respectfully submitted,

Gentlemen: The petition from the
University of Dubuque, asking for
cancellation of City taxes against
Lot 28 of Reche's Subdivision was
referred to the City Manager at the
last meeting of the City Council.
I beg to advise that I have inves-
tigated the proposition and wish to
report as follows: Lot 28, Reche's
Subdivision, is located at the north-
west corner of Hall and Grace
Streets. It is improved by a small
dwelling. The man occupying the
dwelling is employed at the Uni-
versity of Dubuque as engineer. This
man states that each month a sum
of $20.00 is deducted from his regu-
lar compensation on account of rent.
al of the house he occupies and
which belongs to the University of
Dubuque.
I present these facts for your in-
formation, without recommendation.

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Some time ago the
report of the City Solicitor, with ref-
erence to the petition of Mr. Mullen
and others, regarding the location of
Dorgan Place, was referred to the
City Manager. This was done, I be-
lieve, at my suggestion that the true
location of Dorgan Place could be
definitely proven by the City Engi-
neer.
It develops, however, that the lo-
cation of Dorgan Place, as originally
platted, is not the location which the
residents desire to have continued at
316 Special Session, November 7th, 1921
this time, but, instead of the loca-
tion as originally platted, they wish
Dorgan Place to be located, as the
same has been used for the past
twenty or thirty years. A building
recently erected encroaches on this
traveled thoroughfare. This matter,
in my judgment, is a legal one and
I believe that it should be investi-
gated by the City Solicitor and, if
the facts warrant doing so, action
should be taken to cause the person
who recently put up this structure
on the traffic right of way to remove
the same.
Respectfully submitted,

Gentlemen: On Friday, November
4th, bids were received for the clean-

Dubuque for the next current year.
The following bids were received:
J. Wunderscheid, 14c per cubic foot
on the hill, 13c per cubic foot on the
level.
J. Fondell, 16c per cubic foot on
the hill, 14c per cubic foot on the
level.
J. Robinson, 14c per cubic foot on
the hill, 12c per cubic foot on the
level.
Joe Burke, 14c per cubic foot on
the hill, 12c per cubic foot on the
level.
Guy Hitchcock, 18c per cubic foot
on the hill, 16c per cubic foot on the
,leyel.-;.
w The prices' bid by Mr. Robinson
and Mr. Burke are the same. I un-
derstand that Robinson hires other
men to do the work for him, because
he has no equipment, while Burke
has a team and is ready to begin
work at once, and in that way is in
a position to give better service.
Last year the contract was awarded
to J. Robinson at a price of 20c on
the hill and 18c on the level. I
would therefore recommend that a
contract be authorized between the
City of Dubuque for the cleaning of
all vaults. that may be required to
Abe cleaned during the next current
year.
Also that a bond in the sum of
$250.00 be furnished prior to the ex-
ecution of the contract.

I have got in touch with the City
Engineer of Milwaukee, whore the
Mid -Western Construction Co. has
been doing considerable work. He
has advised me that they have never
had any trouble with the company
and that company would now be
awarded the contract with the City
of Milwaukee if they were the low
bidders. Mr. Hewitt, while the Mil-
waukee insists upon the use of pre-
cast concrete pipe underneath their
tracks, assures us that the Chiet
Engineer will be agreeable to the
substitution of concrete built in
place and his price is $14.00, and it
,covers the railroad portion as well
as the part away from the railroad
tracks.
Previously the Milwaukee Engi-
neering Department had advised us
that they would consider nothing un-
der their tracks or across their prop-
erty but precast concrete pipe. The
local superintendent of the Milwau-
kee also states that this is the only
type of construction that they will
have put in at this time of the year.
I wired the Chicago office tor con-
firmation that they would permit
pipe to be built in place, but have
not yet received a reply. The bid
as submitted by the Even TJhlrich-
Staner Co. Is complete in every way
as called for in our advertisement
We advertised for the use of precast
concrete pipe under the railroad
tracks. The Mid -Western Construc-
tion Co. did not bid on any precast
pipe. Omitting this section of three
hundred feet underneath th raeilroad
tracks where precast concrete ppe
is required by the railroad company
the bid of Even-Uhlrich-Staner Co.
is somewhat lower than the bid as
submitted by the Mid -Western Con-
struction Co., inasmuch as we have
been directed by the Milwaukee to
use nothing but pre -cast concrete
pipe under their tracks and while
this direction is still mandatory, I
do not feel that it would we wise to
award a contract for the use of any
other type of pipe. I would, there-
fore, recommend the acceptance of
the bid as submitted by the Even-
Uhlrich-Staner Co.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) 0. E. CARR,
City Manager.

City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
November 22, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On August 28, 1893,
special assessments were levied
against Lots 153 and 153 Woodlawn
Park Addition, for the improvement
of Fourteenth Street and Auburn
Avenue. For the improvement of
Auburn Avenue, an assessment of
$124.16 was levied against Lot 154.
332 Special Session, November 22d, 1921
For the improvement of Fourteenth
Street, Lot 153 was assessed $82.72.
For the improvement of the same
street, Lot 154 was assessed $106.94.
The total of these assessments
amounted to $313.82. Interest on the
same at the time of the advertised
sale amounted to $75.30.
The City of Dubuque bought in
this property at the September tax
sale and secured tax title to it. The
regular taxes have been regularly
paid on this property. The owner
only recently learned of these old
special assessments against it. I
have at hand a check drawn in fav-
or of the City of Dubuque by Will-
iam Lawther, Jr., for $160.00, it be-
ing understood that this check
should be taken by the City as pay-
ment in full for the surrender of the
tax titles.
These assessments having been
levied twenty-eight years ago, the
property having passed from the
owner at that time into the hands
of the purchaser, who has paid taxes
on the same for many years without
being aware of the existence of any
cloud on the title of this property,
I would recommend the acceptance
of this check as payment in full for
the lien which the city has upon the
above listed property.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Gabriel moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved and the check
for $160.00 be accepted as payment
in full for the cancellation of the
lien which the City has upon the

Petition of Elizabeth McGreavy
resented. She states that she is the
owner of Lot 53 and part of Lot 54
in Oak Park Add. to the City of Du-
buque, on Valley Street; that said
property is advertised for sale for
1920. taxes; that the taxes amount
to between $19.00 and $20,00, and
that said property is mortgaged for
$350.00; that this mortgage also in-
cludes the 1919 taxes; that she
finds it impossible at this time to
borrow any money; that she is not
regularly employed, and has no
means to get the money wherewith
to pay the taxes as assessed against
the property. She therefore peti-
tions your Honorable Body to pass
an order directing the County Treas-
urer to accept one-half of said taxes
in full of the taxes due from her
and cancel the other one-half of said
taxes upon the ground of her pover-
ty and inability to pay the same.

petition be referred to the City Man-

The City Council of the City of
Dubuque does hereby direct you to
make the following correction in th,
city assessment upon the property
belonging to Oscar Papin, as Po'
lows:
Said Oscar Papin is the owner of
Mineral Lot 301-A and Mineral Lot
302; that both of these lots contain
more than ten (10) acres each and
are used wholly for agricultural pur-
poses; that for said reason, under
the law, said lands are not liable to
general city taxes but are. only 11a
able for Road tax and Library tax,
and said combined taxes for the
year 1920 amounte to 33'4 mills upon
Special Session, November 22d, 1921 333
the taxable valuation of said prop-
erty, which figured in dollars
amounts to the following:
Upon Lot 302 $3.62
Upon Lot 301-A $ .76
You will kindly correct your tax
list accordingly and permit said tax
payer to pay the above sums with-
out interest because said assess-
ments were illegally made.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN STUBER,

December 1st, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
On June 17, 1893, Lot 225, Davis
Farm Add., was assessed on account
of the improvement of White Street
for the suns of $59.93. This amount
was never paid. The property was
then assessed to Rhomberg and
Meuser. These owners later sold
the property to the H. B. Glover
Company, who are the present own-
ers. This piece of property was
among other pieces for which the
tax titles were recently purchased
by the city. The H. B. Glover Com-
pany are desirous of clearing the
title of this property and have of-
fered to the City Treasurer the orig-
inal assessment plus costs.
In view of the fact that this as-
sessment was levied twenty-eight
years ago and that it has passed
into the hands of what might be
considered an innocent purchaser, I
would recommend the acceptance of
the original assessment plus costs,
by the City, as payment in full on
this account.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
report of the City Manager be ap-
proved, prayer of the petition be
granted and the tax sale certificate
be submitted to the County Auditor
for cancellation. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Melchior. Carried by the
following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On November 2nd,
Miss Ottilia Frick was placed at
work in connection with the Health
Department at a salary of $90.00 per
month.
Special Session, December 1, 1921
it is quite necessary that some-
one be employed in connection with
the work of the venereal clinic. This
is the work Miss Frick is expected
to take care of. We also expect that
she will employ her extra time in
connection with the work of the Po-
lice Matron.
I am reporting this to the City
Council for their approval and in or-
der that the funds required for her
salary may be authorized.
Very respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Gabriel moved that
the action of the City Manager be
approved. Seconded by Councilman
Brede. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.
Report of the City Manager on
the petition of Helen Meehan, re-
ferred to him at a previous meet-
ing, asking that the general taxes
and special assessment on account
of sidewalk construction as levied
against City Lot 553 be allowed to
remain as a lien against the prop-
erty, presented.
The City Manager reports as fol-
lows: This lot is improved by a
large two-story brick house, at the
corner of Dodge and Locust Streets,
while on the North 25 feet there is
a small frame house in which Helen
Meehan lives. The brick building
is and has been constantly rented
for $50.00 per month. In 1919 this
property was assessed for $4,280.00
and in 1920 taxes amounted to
$66.35. In view of these facts, I
would recommend that the petition
be received and filed.
Councilman Brede moved that the
petition be received and filed. Sec-
onded by Councilman Gabriel. Car-

quired by the City for the change
in Delhi Street at Grandview Ave-
nue. In view of the fact that we

this property, I would recommend
that this receipt be kept as a mat-
ter of record.
Respectfully submitted,

November 26th, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The matter of the
petition of Elizabeth McGreavy,
asking a reduction in taxes on Lots
53 and 64 in Oak Grove Add., was
referred to the City Manager at the
last meeting of the City Council.
I have investigated the matter and
wish to report as follows: Lot 54
is improved with a small frame
house in which Elizabeth McGreavy
lives. Lot 53 is unimproved. I be-
lieve her circumstances are as set
forth in her communication. My
recommendation to the Council
would be that on the filing of a
proper petition, the general taxes be
allowed to remain a lien against the
property until paid.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and the Clerk be
authorized to notify Miss McGreavy

Petition of business men on West
Main Street, asking that the name
be not changed to Schields Street,
presented, stating that on account of
the shortness of the street it would
be difficult for a stranger to find it
on the City map, and if the name
is changed to Schields Street, it
will, no doubt, be the direct cause
of loss of business to us. Signed

Petition of John M. Lee, owner of
Lots 17, 18 and 19 in Buseman's
Sub., presented. He respectfully re-
quests the City Council to reduce
the special assessment against these
lots for the construction of a sani-
tary sewer in Leibnitz Street, which
was completed in 1919 and the as-
sessment levied at that time. He
states also that he had filed a peti-
tion at the time the levy was made,
remonsrating against the assess-
ment, but failed to follow it up. As
a result the assessment stands as
levied, amounting to $57.00 on each
lot, while the value of the lots is
only $40.00 each, for which amount
he is perfectly willing to sell.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the petition be referred t othe City
Manager for investigation. Second-
ed by Councilman Rooney. Carried
by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.

Petition of John Leithold, owner
of Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Lot 145 in L.
H. Langworthy's Addition to the
City of Dubuque, presented. He
states that on September 7th, 1920,
the City of Dubuque levied a special
tax for the construction of a sani-
tary sewer in Valeria Street against
said lot, amounting to $192.05; that
said lot runs from Kaufman Ave-
nue to Valeria Street, i s62 feet front
and 330 feet deep; that his house
is on Kauffman Avenue and he is
using the sewer which runs through
Kaufman Avenue, consequently the
sewer in Valeria Street is of no
benefit to him and never can be
until the North % of said lot is
sold and a building erected thereon.
Said North % is of but little value
and at its best would not bring more
than $200.00, it being valued by the•
Sourer system at $3.00 a front foot.
He therefore asks that the special
assessment be reduced to $50.00 or
to an amount equal to 25 per cent
of the value of the North % of said
Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Lot 145 in L. H.
Langworthy's Addition.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the petition be referred to the City
Manager and City Solicitor for in-
vestigation. Seconded by Council-
man Brede. Carried by the follow-

Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:
Some time ago a list of persons
indebted to the City of Dubuque for
personal property tax which had be-
come delinquent was turned over to
me with instructions to collect the
same, even to the extent of bring-
ing suit thereon. I beg to advise
you that I have notified by personal
letter each person upon that list of
the amount due, including accrued
interest thereon. In some cases the
taxes have been paid to me. In
others I am convinced that taxes
should not have been assessed
against the person, in other cases
the tax is wholly unavailable, and
still in others no response has been
made to my letter. In these latter
cases I shall start suit for the Janu-
ary Term of the District Court to
enforce collection.
The following collections have
been made by me and checks cover-
ing the same as herewith returned:

The name of C. F. Cleaver appears
upon my list, but he had already
paid his taxes to the Treasurer and
received his receipt therefor. This
same situation is true in the case
of Mrs. Toten.
The Little Star Theatre is no
longer being operated and the owner
thereof at the time the tax was
levied had departed from the city.
Tax of 1919 should be cancelled.
The Vyverberg Auto Company has
failed and has no personal property
at this time. The tax of 1919 should
be cancelled. Ed. T. Sprengelmeyer
has been out of business since 1911
and should not have been assessed
upon prsonal property since that
time. Taxes from 1912-1919 should
be cancelled.
The Studebaker Company is also
out of business and the taxes for
1918 and 1919 should be cancelled.
Andrew Weimer has left the city
and has no property here. The
taxes for 1916-1919 should be can-
celled.
The taxes included within these
collections do not go back any far-
ther than 1916 and in each instance
where there are taxes due beyond
1916 where settlements have been
made as herein stated, these taxes
should be cancelled.
I have also made a few collections
from persons owing penalties upon
past taxes. These are as follows, for
which checks are attached:

Report of the City Solicitor on the
petition of Mrs. Lizzie Cutts pre-
sented, as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:
The petition of Lizzie Cutts, ask-
ing for a Union Soldier's exemption
upon Lot Two (2) of Lot Six (6)
of Finley Home Addition, she be-
ing the widow of an honorably dis-
charged Union Soldier, was referred
to me for recommendation and re-
port. I beg to advise you that this
exemption should be allowed in the
amount provided by law and the
County Treasurer instructed ac-
cordingly for the year 1920. The pe-
tition is hereto attached.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Solicitor
be approved, the prayer of the pe-
tition be granted and the County
Treasurer be instructed accordingly.

Report of the City Solicitor on the
petition of the Catholic Women's
League presented.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen.
The petition of the Catholic Wom-
an's League, requesting cancellation
of the 1920 tax upon the South %
of the North Middle 1-5 and North
% of the Middle 1-4 of Lot 479, has
been referred to for a report. The
petition also requests that this prop-
erty be exempt from taxation in the
future as long as it is owned by this
organization.
From my examination, I am con-
vinced that this organization, com-
monly known as the Neighborhood
House, is purely a charitable insti-
tution and its objects and purposes
are to aid in the welfare of the poor
and needy. It has no working capi-
tal nor any profit plan, but its whole
aim is to assist worthy persons in
the community. I do not think that
there is any question but what the
petition should be granted and I
therefore recommend that the taxes
for 1920 upon this property be can-
celled and the County Treasurer in-
structed accordingly and that the as-
sessor be notified that this property
should be carried as exempt from
taxation as long as it is owned by
this society. The petition is hereto
attached.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Gabriel moved that
the recommendation of the City So-
licitor be approved, the prayer of the
petition be granted and the County
Treasurer be instructed accordingly.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: The case of the City
of Dubuque vs. the County of Du-
buque, involving the collection of the
City's share of the taxes collected by
the County Treasurer upon moneys
and credits for the years 1918 and
1919, has been compromised and
settled for the sum of Five Thous-
and ($5,000.00) Dollars, the County
to pay the costs of suit in addition
to said sum. The manner in which
this payment is to be made is as
follows:
Immediate upon the passing of the
attached resolution the County will
pay to the City the sum of Twenty -
Five Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollars on
account and the remaining Twenty -
Five Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollars
will be paid on March 1, 1922.
I request that you pass the attach-
ed resolution so that the records in
both the City and County will be
clear upon this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Resolution
Whereas, an action at law was in-
stituted by the City of Dubuque
against the County of Dubuque to en-
force payment of the City's share of
the taxes collected by the County
upon moneys and credits for the
years 1918 and 1919, the same being
in the sum of Seven Thousand Five
Hundred Eighty -Eight Dollars For-
ty -Five Cents ($7,588.45), the same
being Law Number 20260; and,
Whereas, owing to a controversy
arising involving the legal right of
the City to insist upon such pay-
ment by the County because of cer-
tain matters which directly affect
the substantial rights of the parties,
it was deemed advisable to compro-
mise the claim of the City and mut-
Regular Session, December 5, 1921 34')
ually adjust the same and thereby
save the expense and delay neces-
sarily incident to a law suit of ' this
kind.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the City Council of the City of Du-
buque, that, in consideration of the
payment to the City of Dubuque by
the County of the sum of Five
Thousand ($5,000.00) Dollars, to-
gether with the costs of suit, said
City of Dubuque does hereby settle
all matters involved in said action
and release said County from any
further liability or obligation arising
thereunder or from any future claim
involving the matters upon which
said action was brought and the City
Solicitor is hereby instructed to dis-
miss the action now pending against
the County.
Be it further resloved that said
County shall pay to the City said
sum of Five Thousand ($5,000.00)
Dollars as follows:
Immediately hereafter there shall
be paid to the City the sum of
Twenty -Five Hundred ($2,500.00)
Dollars and the remaining sum of
Twenty -Five Hundred ($2,500.00)
Dollars shall be paid on or before
March 1, 1922.

Report of the City Solicitor on the
petition of Margaret C. Larkin, pre-
sented.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen. The petition of Mar-
garet C. Larkin, asking for a sol-
dier's exemption upon Lot One (1)
of Dillon's Subdivision, has been re-
ferred to me for report.
Mrs. Larkin is the widow of an
honorably discharged soldier of the
War of the Rebellion and as such is
entitled to an exemption in the
amount provided by law. Up to the
year 1920
the Lot
Twelve (12) ofLotTwo (2)rof ofCity
Lot 720, and received her exemption
upon said property. In 1920 she sold
this property to Martha Eckler and
acquired the property which she now
owns, namely, Lot One (1) of Dil-
lon's Subdivision from Henry C.
Bechtel. It appears from the peti-
tion that the soldier's exemption to
which she was entitled was granted
to Martha Eckler upon Lot Twelve
(12) of Lot Two (2) of City Lot 720,
which is an error. Mrs. Eckler is
not entitled to this exemption.
350
Regular Session, December 5, 1921
I beg to advise you that the Coun-
ty Treasurer should be instructed to
grant to Margaret Larkin the sol-
dier's widow exemption upon Lot
One (1) of Dillon's Subdivision,
which is assessed to Henry C. Bech-
tel in the amount allowed by law,
and that such soldier's exemption as
has been granted to Mrs. Eckler up-
on Lot Twelve (12) of Lot Two (2)
of City Lot 720 should be cancelled.
Mrs. Eckler should be notified that
this was an error and she should
be called upon to pay her proper tax
for the year 1920. Kindly have the
City Clerk notify the County Treas-
urer of these corrections. The pe-
tition of Mrs. Larkin is hereto at-
tached.

December 14, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In the levying of the
assessment fQr the improvement of
Bluff Street, from Eighth Street to
Locust Street, the suns of $515.54
was assessed against the city lot on
which the Public Library stands.
To me it seems quite important
that every distinct municipal acti-
vity through its financial statement
should show the entire cost of the
municipal activity. It is, therefore,
important that this assessment be
paid by the Library Board and out
of the library board funds.
The above assessment was not
foreseen when the library tax levy
was determined for 1920. They have
therefore no money available with
which to meet this unforeseen cost.
I would recommend that the sum of
$515.54 be transferred from the Con-
tingency Fund of the General City
Funds to the Library Fund in order
to enable then to take care of this
assessment.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and the City Au-
ditor be instructed to transfer
$515.54 from the Contingency Fund
of the General City Funds to the Lib-
rary Fund in order to enable them to
take care of this assessment. Sec-

December 7, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On December 1, 1921,
the natter of a petition of John M.
Lee, asking for a reduction in the
special assessments levied against
Lots 18, 19 and 20, Buseman's Sub.,
on account of the construction of a
sanitary sewer in Lowell Street (for-
merly Leibnitz), was referred to the
City Manager for investigation and
report.
I beg to advise that this work was
done and the assessment levied in
1919. Each of the three lots were
assessed $58.11. The tax books for
1919 assess each of these lots at
$60.00, which is probably a fair value
without the sewer. I would recom-
mend that a deduction in the assess-
ment against each of the above lots
of $33.11 be made, leaving a balance
of $25.00 puns interest paid on ac-
count of the sewer assessment.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Rooney moved that
the recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved, and the Treasurer
be instructed to accept $25.00 plus
interest for each of the above lots,
payment in full of special assess-
ment for the construction of a sani-
tary sewer in Lowell Street( former-

asking for a reduction of taxes on
Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, in Block 27, Du-
buque Harbor Company's Addition to
the City of Dubuque, Iowa, stating
352 Special Session, December 14, 1921
that the building thereon had been
destroyed by fire July 9, 1919; that
the property had been assessed for
$9,000.00, assessable valuation in the
County $3,037.00, and -taxes paid for
1919. And now they find that the
taxes for 1920 are still the same as
in 1919, which is incorrect, and re-
spectfully ask that the taxes on this
property be cancelled and the lots be
reassessed at $100.00 per lot, making
evaluation of $400.00.
Councilman Brede moved that the
valuation on this property be placed
at $150.00 per lot, making a valua-
tion of $600.00, and the County
Treasurer be instructed to accept
the taxes on this valuation for said
lots for the year 1920. Seconded by
Councilman Gabriel. Carried by the
following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.
December 9, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Ia.
Gentlemen: In the matter of the
improvement of Eleventh Street,
from Central Avenue to the railroad
tracks, the actual cost was consider-
ably beyond the original estimates.
This was due very largely to the fact
that a much greater amount of bin-
der was laid than had been estimat-
ed. The individual assessments
were also higher than we had figur-
ed, on account of the fact that of
the entire cost of the paving of this
street the street and alley intersec-
tions amounted to 33.88% or over
one-third.
It has been for years the practice
of the City to require the owners of
property to pay for all street inter-
sections. At the present time the
municipal finances, in my judgment,
do not warrant a deviation from
this principle. On the other hand, it
is a little unfair to require people
abutting certain streets to pay for
the street and alley intersections,
while people abutting streets run-
ning in the opposite direction have
no alley intersections to pay.
We also find that the cost of the
paving of the alley intersections
amounts to 9.3% of the total cost of
the improvement of Eleventh Street.
In order to equalize the paving
costs and also in order to make some
reduction on the very large cost of
the abutting property owners on ac-
count of the improvement of this
street, I would recommend that the
City assume, on account of the alley
C.
10% of the entnre cost
of this improvement, which will
amount to something in the neigh-
borhood of $2,500.00, and that the as-
sessments of all those assessed for
this improvement be reduced 10%.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Rooney moved that the
recommendation of the City Manager
be approved and that the assess-
ments of all those assessed for the
improvement of Eleventh Street,
from Central Avenue to the railroad
tracks, be reduced 10%. Seconded
by Councilman Gabriel. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.
December 9, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Lot 1 of 1 of Min.
Lot 67, containing fifteen and eight -
tenths acres, was assessed on ac-
count of the improvement of Dodge
Street, from Bluff Street to South
Dodge Street, for $1,533.44. The
above property belongs to W. A. Mc-
Lean and is carried on the Assessor's
book at $2,040.00.
Mr. McLean wrote to me asking
that some arrangements be made for
a reduction in this assessment. I
suggested to him that an assessment
on account of the improvement of
Dodge Street, amounting to $600.00
based on a $2,400.00 valuation of
property, would be in my judgment
a fair proposition to all concerne.
Mr. McLean concurs in this feeling.
I would, therefore, recommend that
the total assessments as levied
against this Lot 67 be reduced by
the sum of $933.44, leaving a bal-
ance to be collected of $600.00.
Respectfully submitt ed,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved and that the
special assessment of this lot (67)
be reduced to $600.00 and the Treas-
urer be instructed to accept said
amount in full of payment for as-
sessment against this lot for the im-
proving of Dadge Street. Seconded
by Councilman Rooney. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The accompanying pe-
tition of Ida M. Reid for a reduction
in the assessment on account of the
improvement of Angella Street and
Cox Street, which was levied against
Lot 2, Kringle's Sub., which she
owns, has been investigated and I
wish to report the following facts:
Special Session, December 14, 1921
353
In the first place, the improvement
of Cox Street and the improvement
of Angella Street were separate im-
provements. Both were levied on
November 6, 1919. The assessment
on account of the improvement of
Cox Street was $69.12; $19.74 of this
assessment has been paid, leaving a
balance of $41.38. The assessment
against the lot on account of the im-
provement of Angella Street amount-
ed to $126.56, of which $36.16 has
been paid, leaving a balance of
$90.40. Assuming that the value of
this lot is $200.00, which is a fair
value, Miss Reid would be entitled
to a reduction in the outstanding as-
sessment on account of the improve-
ment of Angella Street.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and that the
money paid on the assessment
against Lot 2, Kringle's Sub., for the
improvement of Cox and Angella
Streets be accepted as payment in
full for said improvements and the
Treasurer be notified to cancel the
balance ($90.40), which is still on
the books against this property.

Petition of Dr. M. P. Slattery,
relative to delinquent taxes and spe-
cial assessments against his prop-
erty, presented. He states that the
property has been subdivided on two
different occasions, making the mat-
ter confusing and misleading both to
himself and to the City officials.
That this property has been subject
to both special assessment forpaving
Special Session, December
and part delinquent taxes, a portion
of both of which have been paid,
having paid $1,248.26 to the City and
$1,023.88 to the County, which
amounts to $2,281.41 and with this
year's taxes will amount to over
$2,500.00, and further that the spec-
ial assessments levied in 1915 for
paving seems out of all proportion
to the value of the property. He
therefore petitions the City Council
to investigate and try to arrive at
some fair and reasonable basis in
settlement with the City.
Councilman Brede moved that the
petition be referred to the City So-
licitor and City Manager for adjust-
ment. Seconded by Councilman Mel-

Petition of John A. Mangner pre-

To the Hon. Mayor and City
Council:
On November 5, 1914, a special
tax was levied against Lot 1 of Lot
188, Union Addition, in the City of
Dubuque, for the improvement of
Union Street, which tax amounted to
$100.41. The assessed value of said
lot at that time was $180.00. On Au-
gust 23, 1921, said lot was sold by
the County Treasurer to the City of
Dubuque for the non-payment of said
taxes, interest and costs. That said
lot has recently been sold for the
sum of $190.00. The undersigned
would respectfully ask your Honor-
able Body to accept the sum of $90.00
in full satisfaction of said special
assessment.
Respectfully,
JOHN A. MANGNER.
—By A. P. Abeln, Agent.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:
The petition of John Leithold,
asking a reduction of a special as-
sessment which was levied by the
City Council to pay for the laying
of a sanitary sewer in Valeria
Street, was referred to the under-
signed for examination and report.
We beg to advise you that Lot One
(1) of Lot Two (2) of Lot One Hun-
dred Forty -Five (145) in L. H. Lang -
worthy's Addition to the City of Du-
buque in the sum of One Hundred
Ninety -Two Dollars Five Cents
($192.05). This lot extends from
Kaufmann Avenue to Valeria Street
and has a residence upon that part
of the lot which fronts upon Kauf-
mann Avenue. The remaining por-
tion of the lot is unimproved and
the lot has not been subdivided. The
width of said lot is Seventy -One (71)
lineal feet and the sewer runs the
entire width of the lot. After a full
examination of the circumstances
surrounding this assessment, togeth-
er with the amount thereof, as com-
pared with the valuation of the lot,
we beg to report that we find no er-
ror in the assessment and for that
reason recommend that the petition,
which is hereto attached, be received
and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Man-
ager and the City Solicitor be ap-

Yeas—Councilmen Brede, Gabriel
and Melchior.
Nays—None.
Absent — Mayor Alderson and
Councilman Rooney.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:
The following is a supplemental
report upon collections made by me
upon delinquent personal property
taxes turned over to me by your
Honorable Body some time ago.
Since my last report I have collected
the following sums from the follow-
ing persons:
William Gow $ 84.48
Bennett Brothers 24.83
Lenehan & Heller 5.60
$114.91
In the case of William Gow, taxes
were collected for the years 1919,
1918 and 1917 with interest and for
1916 without interest. The tax of
1915 should be cancelled.
In the case of Bennett Brothers,
the tax was collected for the years
1919, 1918 and 1917 with interest and
for 1916 without interest.,Taxes
from 1910 to 1915, both iclusive,
should be cancelled.
In the case of Lenehan & Heller,
taxes were collected for the year
1916 without interest and the taxes
for the years 1912 to 1915, both in-
clusive, should be cancelled; also the
.fax for the year 1914 against Lene-
han & Wiegand, because this is a
duplication.
I further recommend the cancella-
tion of the following taxes:
J. A. Benson, for the year 1919,
$1.55; American Surety Company,
for the year 1919, $1.55; Joseph Die -
bald, for the years 1912 to 1919, both
inclusive; Dr. A. E. Fosselman, for
the year 1919; John D. Langdon( for
the year 1919; Alex Seezer, for the
year 1919. These taxes should be
cancelled because in each instance
the parties are out of business and
have no property subject to execu-
tion.
I also recommend the cancellation
of the taxes levied against J. I. Mul-
lany for the year 1911 to 1919, both
inclusive, because Mr. Mullany has
368 Special Session, December 20, 1921
•
been dead for some years and his
estate has been closed and dis-
tributed. Also the taxes assessed to
Mrs. Catherine Salot for the years
1915 to 1918, both inclusive, because
this was an erroneous assessmen.t
Also the taxes of Mrs. Harry F.
Salot for the years 1911 to 1914, both
inclusive, for the reason that these
parties are no longer residents of
the City of Dubuque.
I also recommend the cancellation
of the taxes assessed to Simon W.
Straus, S. W. Waring and Saul F.
Weiser, for the reason that these as-
sessments were illegally levied.
Also the tax against Charles Van
Valkenberg for the year 1919, be-
cause this party has no property sub-
ject to execution.
I beg to advise you further that
I have started suit for the January
Term of the District Court against
W. C. Fosselman, Princess Theatre,
B. Tenner and L. M. Warren.
You will find hereto attached my
check in the sum of One Hundred
Fourteen Dollars Ninety -One Cents
($114.91), covering the collection
made by me as shown by this report.
I respectfully recommend the ap-
proval of this report and suggest
that the treasurer be instructed to
make the cancellations herein re-
ferred to.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.

Petition of Miss J. E. Kemler,
agent, presented, as follows:
Dubuque, Jan. 2nd, 1922.
City Manager and City Council of
Dubuque.
Gentlemen:
Last year when a sanitary sewer
was laid in Seminary Street I pro-
tested against the assessment for
same which was levied against Lots
3, 4 and 5 and East 27 feet of Lot
6 of Littleton and Sawyer's Add.,
because these lots from point of
actual value would stand but a very
small assessment, and from point of
benefit derived, being from 20 to 30
feet below the street, these lots
would derive no benefit f rom the
sewer.
The amount assessed against each
lot is $58.11, or a total of $213.56.
I paid the full assessment o none
lot above the street.
I would ask you to accept $50.00
in full settlement of the aforesaid
assessment as against said Lots 3,
.4 and 5 and East 27 feet of Lot 6
of Littleton and Sawyer's Add.
Respectfully yours,
J. E. KEMLER,
Agent.

petition be referred to the City

the condemned buildings on south-

buildings stand until the 1st of

ing and the owner does not receive
any rent for her, and the other build-
ing is only rneted for $5.00 per
month, and if that you will allow
her to retain the buildings until the
above time stated, she will have the
buildings moved promptly at that
time. We have the selling of this
property and we write you this let-
ter with full understanding that she
shall comply with your instructions
in the matter.
Very truly yours,
FORWARD LAND CO.,
By Chas. J. Forward.

petition for water and sewerage on
said street; also that a grade be es-
tablished i nthe alley of said street.

Communication from Dubuque Nat-
ional Bank.
December 20th, 1921.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:
I have been requested by the
Board of Directors of the Dubuque
National Bank to advise you that
since its purchase of part of Lot 21
at the northeast corner of Main and
Sixth Streets, the Board has made
the repairs and improvements to
the building on the premises which
have been suggested by the Chief of
the Fire Department to make the
building secure and safe until the
Bank shall erect its proposed build-
ing on the site. The Board has also
2
Regular Session January 2, 1922
notified all tenants in the building,
occupying rooms at night, to remove
therefrom and no tenant will be per-
mitted in the future to sleep on the
premises when the present tenants
have been disposed of.
In rsponse to your request for
definite information as to when the
building will be wrecked and re-
moved, we can only say that a writ-
ten lease of the first floor of the
building will not expire until Octo-
ber, 1922. Our lease of the build-
ing now occupied by the bank will
expire February, 1924. The removal
of the building and the erecting of
the new structure will undoubtedly
occupy more than a year. So at
some time between the two lease
periods the building will be removed,
but we assure you, however, that it
cannot and will not be unnecessarily
delayed. Yours truly,
D. J. LENEHAN,
Director.
Councilman Brede moved that the
petition be referred to the Chief of
the Fire Department to see if his
requirements are complied with.
Seconded by Councilman Rooney.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.

December 31st, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Some time ago a pe-
tition regarding the straightening of
Alta Vista Street where the angle in
the same Just south of Julien Ave-
nue was filed with the City Council
and referred to the City Manager.
The plat has been prepared show-
ing the property necessary to ac-
quire as well as the plans for the
straightening of said street, a copy
of which is submitted herewith.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
A Resolution.
Be it resolved by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque, That it
is deemed necessary and advisable
to straighten Alta Vista Street, just
south of Julien Avenue. To do so,
it is necessary to acquire a strip of
Lot 46, Oxford Heights Addition, be-
longing to Mr. E. Muntz.
Be it further resolved that the
City Engineer be and he is hereby
instructed to make a plat and sur-
vey of the land and lots through or
over which the improvement will ex-
tend, and file such plat in his office
for public inspection.
That after such plat and survey is
prepared and filed, said City Engi-
neer shall give the owner of the
property through which this im-
provement is to be made notice of
said improvement as provided by
Section 251 of Ordinance No. 43 of
the Revised Ordinance of the City of
Dubuque.
Adopted January 2nd, 1922.

Nays—None.
January 2nd, 1922.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Some weeks ago a
report was received from Mr. Dab-
ney Maury, Consulting Engineer, in
regard to improvements at the Eagle
Point Water Works Station.
In line with these recommenda-
tions, I would recommend that the
City proceed with the rehabilitation
of the large eight -foot well. This
well, when first put into service,
tested three million gallons of water
a day. It is now flowing at the rate
of fifty thousand gallons a day. Mr.
Maury assures us that at an expense
of approximately eight thousand dol-
lars this well can be made to pro-
duce not less than two million gal-
lons a day. This would mean prac-
tically that much of a permanent wa-
ter supply. Mr. Maury also advises
that if this work is done it should
not be done by contract, but through
force account, as it is quite difficult
to contract for work to be done, not
knowing exactly the nature of the
work until the same is started. The
present season of the year is the
best time to do the work. I would
therefore recommend that the City
Manager be instructed to proceed
with the rehabilitating of this well
along the lines as recommended by
Mr. Maury.
Respectfully yours,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that be-
fore proceeding with this work the
City Manager be authorized to com-
municate with Mr. Meade, a consult-
ing engineer of Madison, Wis., rela-
tive to this well. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Gabriel. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and
Rooney.
Nays—None.

Petition of Edward Muntz, remon-
strating against the proposition of
widening Alta -Vista Street, pre-
sented.
Dubuque, January 17, 1922.
To the Honorable Manager, Mayor
and City Council.
Gentlemen:—I, the undersigned,
owner of Lot 46, Oxford Heights, in
the City of Dubuque, respectfully
oppose the changing of South Alta
Vista Street, as proposed, for the
following reasons:
First: It was a part of our dedi-
cation of said addition, and accepted
by the City Council of the City of
Dubuque, Iowa, and approved by
Mayor H. A. Schunk, November 30,
1907, that the City would open a
street as now located, and the build-
ing on the northeast corner of Lot
1 of Min. Lot 81, as shown on said
plat encroaching on said street, shall
not be removed without the consent
of the owner.
You will find hereto attached a
copy of said record, you will note
in said notice it states, if said street
would not be laid out as said plat
indicated by the City Council, then
said dedication would be null and
void.
Second: It would depreciate the
value of said ground to a great ex-
tent, if said proposed street would
be opened or changed according to
present plat—in fact would not be
worth much of anything for building
purposes, levying only 48 feet deep.
Yours respectfully,
EDWARD MUNTZ.
Attached to petition is a copy of
Record of Plat of Oxford Heights,
recorded in Book of Plats No. 5,
page 366, dated September 16, 1907.

relative to his petition, stating that
all he had to say was embodied in

petition be referred to the City So-

Petition of John Teal presented.
Dubuque, Iowa, January 16, 1922.
Honorable Mayor and City Council.
Gentlemen: --I, the undersigned,
the owner of Lots 16, 17 and 18
Kringles' Sub., hereby petition your
Honorable Body to grant me a re-
duction in the special assessment
levied against these lots for the
construction of the sanitary sewer in
West 17th Street.
The assessment levied against
these lots was $128.91 each.. The
value placed on them by the Sommer
System was $390.00 each. There is
a building on Lot 18 valued at
$300.00, bringing the value of that
lot to $690.00. The assessment on
this lot is within the required 25%,
but on the other two lots it is $30.00
in excess of the 25%. Even with the
bringing of this assessment within
the limitation of the law, I feel that
the amount is far in excess of the
benefits conferred, and would re-
spectfully ask that the amount of
said assessment be placed at $300.00.
Respectfully yours,
ELIZABETH TEAL.
—Bx John Teal.
Councilman Brede moved that the
petition be referred to the City Engi-
neer to verify the facts as set forth

I beg to advise that there is a sewer
in lgona and Atlantic Avenue which
runs to the middle of Fourteenth
Street. I would recommend that the
above petition for extension of the
sewer be granted and that the Engi-
neer be instructed to prepare the
necessary plans for the same. The
sewer is to be placed from Atlantic
Avenue to within about one hundred
feet of Algona Avenue. The sewer
in Algona Avenue already serves the
property adjacent.
The matter of extending the wa-
ter mains has been considered. The
same is needed in West Fourteenth
Street to bolster up the service on
Delhi Street. I think that it is a
matter the City will be able to take
care of during the coming year.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Man-

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—Peter M. Herber was
assessed on December 5, 1912, on
account of the paving of Eagle Point
Avenue. One payment on this as-
sessment was made. The balance of
$125.35 remains, with interest ac-
cumulated to the amount of $30.08.
The City bought the tax title certif-
icate on this property at the sale
held in June, 1920. At the same time
the improvement tax levied on June
3, 1915, on account of the improve-
ment of the alley between Queen
and Prince Streets was included in
the tax certificate as above mention-
ed. This assessment amounts to
$49.18 with interest amounting to
$11.80.
Mr. Herber has a large family and
is not able to earn a large salary.
He wishes to pay the amount of the
special assessment remaining un-
paid, namely $174.53 plus the adver-
tising costs and cost of the tax cer-
tificate and to have the City waive
the $41.81 interest charge. This is,
I believe, in line with the suggested
settlement made to the Council some
time ago in the above connection.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Gabriel moved that
the proposition of Mr. Herber be ac-
cepted and the Treasurer be so in-

Gentlemen:—At the tax sale on
January 3, there was certain prop-
erty offered for sale on which the
taxes should be cancelled as the
same belongs to the City and Is used
by the City for street purposes. Lot
2 of Subdivision 3 of Mineral Lot
141, supposed to belong to Mary
Hennig and has taxes from 1915 to
1920, inclusive, charged against it.
This property was sold in 1891 to
the City by Mr. Jacobs and has since
that time been occupied by Fremont
Avenue.
Also the west 20 feet of Lot 1
and the west 20 feet of Lot 2 in
L'ng's Subdivision was given to the
City for street purposes several
years ago.
The City Council, I believe, should
direct the County Treasurer to can-
cel taxes against this property as
the same belongs to the City and is
used for street purposes.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
report of the City Manager be ap-
proved and the County Auditor and
County Treasurer be notified to can-
cel the taxes against the above de-

taken off the tax books. Seconded

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—Your committee ap-
pointed at a meeting of the City
Council on January 2, 1922, in re-
gard to the reduction of the special
assessment levied in 1920 on account
of the construction of a sanitary
sewer in Seminary Street, have in-
vestigated the conditions and beg to
advise as follows: Lots 3, 4, 5 and
8 Special Session,
east 27 feet of Lot 6 of Littleton &
Sawyers' Addition, covered in the
petition of J. E. Kemler, lies much
below the level of Seminary Street,
and the sanitary sewer in Seminary
Street is about eight feet deep at
that location. It is too high to serve
properly more than forty feet of the
property in question.
We would therefore recommend
that the special assessment be re-
duced from $213.56 to $52.12 on ac-
count of the performance of this
work and that the County Treasurer
he hereby authorized to accept the
sum of $52.12 plus interest and ad-
vertising costs as payment in full
for the assessment as levied in 1920
against Lots 3, 4, 5 and the east 27
feet of Lot 6 in Littleton & Sawyers'
Addition on account of the con-
struction of the sanitary sewer in
Seminary Street.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,

January 17, 1922.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:—About a year ago,
the pay of firemen on entrance was
fixed at $100.00 per month. Just at
that time it seemed as if conditions
would rapidly adjust themselves to
something like the pre-war level.
The entrance pay was kept down on
account of the difficulty of reducing
pay at a later time. The cost of
living has not continued to decline
as rapidly during the pats year as
it did the last few months of 1920.
We have now nineteen men who
have been on the force less than a
year. Among this number are some
of our very best men. These men
are working for $100.00 per month.
I have also recently made a com-
parison of rates of pay in the var-
ious cities in Iowa and find that the
City of Dubuque pays less on en-
trance than any other city over
10,000 excepting Council Bluffs and
Muscatine.
Dubuque may well be proud of her
Fire Department in every way. The
energy, intelligence and efficiency of
her firemen are worthy of recogni-
tion in the way of a more adequate
January 17, 1922
compensation. I would recommend
the following rates of pay:
First year men... $110.00 per month
Second year men. $120.00 per month
After two years $125.00 per month
Lieutenants—Engi-
neers in charge
of pumpers $130.00 per month
Captains $140.00 per month
The above recommendation would
mean an increase of $10.00 per
month for the first year, over the
present schedule; an increase of
$10.00 for the second year men, be-
yond their compensation for the first
year; an increase of five dollars for
men after two years; an increase of
five dollars for third year men who
are lieutenants and engineers in
charge of pumpers, and an increase
of ten dollars for captains over lieu-
tenants. This means no increase for
the regular third year men.
Inasmuch as there are seven cap-
tains and three pumping engineers
who would be given an increase of
five dollars per month, and nineteen
first year men who will be increased
ten dollars per month, the total in-
crease will amount to $240.00 per
month. We will have on the first of
April, a balance of approximately
$4,000.00 in the salary division of the
Fire Department funds. If the above
recommendation is agreeable to the
City Council, I will be glad to place
the same into effect as of January
15.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: — During the present
term of court the cases of Lester
Hahn vs. City of Dubuque, Law
20136; Harry Stevens, Law 20240,
and Daisy Martyr, Law 20145, were
set for trial and I deemed it advis-
able to effect a settlement in each
one of these cases. These cases
arose out of snow and ice accidents
and in each instance some injury
was received.
In the case of Hahn against the
City, I settled for the sum of Eighty -
Three ($83.00) Dollars and the costs
of suit. In the case of Harry Stev-
ens, I settled for One Hundred
Twenty-five ($125.00) Dollars and the
costs. The case of Daisy Martyr
against the City I settled for One
Hundred ($100.00) Dollars, the plain-
tiff to pay the costs. This makes a
total settlement in the three cases
of Three Hundred Eight ($308.00)
Dollars.
In nay judgment these settlements
are very advantageous to the City
and it was proper to make them. If
you approve my action in this mat-
ter kindly have awarrant drawn in
favor of Walter Koerner, attorney
for Lester Hahn in the sum of
Eighty -Three ($83.00) Dollars; also a
warrant in favor of Walter Koerner,
attorney for Harry Stevens in the
sum of One Hundred Twenty-five
($125.00) Dolars; also a warrant
drawn in favor of Lattner & Pais-
ley, attorneys for Daisy Martyr, in
the sum of One Hundred ($100.00)
Dollars.
I trust these settlements are satis-
factory to you.
Respectfully yours,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Soicitor.
Councilman Rooney moved that
the action of the City Solicitor be

To The Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentemen:—Since my last report
I have collected on account of de-
10 Special Session, Januar- 17, 1972
linquent personal property taxes the
sum of Sixty-one Dollars Ninety-
three Cents ($61.93), the same being
represented by my check which is
hereto attached and which is in pay-
ment thereof. The taxes which I
have collected are as follows:
At the January Term of the Dis-
trict Court I started suit for the
CCity for the collection of the taxes
assessed to B. Tenner for the year
1917 and 1918 in the total sum of
Forty-one Dollars Forty-eight Cents
($41.48). After suit was started Mr.
Tenner made settlement with me by
paying to me the sum of Forty-one
Dollars Forty-eight Cents ($41.48)
and the court costs and the action
was thereupon dismissed. Of this
sum of Forty-one Dollars Forty-eight
Cents ($41.48) Ten Dollars Sixty-
eight Cents ($10.68) represents in-
terest and the remaining Thirty Dol-
lars Eighty Cents ($30.80) is the tax
which was certified to me.
I have also collected Twenty Dol-
lars Forty-five ($20.45) from M. D.
Cooney et al for the assessment
against one E. W. Smith. Upon the
list which was certified to me E. W.
Smith owed taxes for the years 1917,
1913 and 1919 which with the inter-
est amounted to Fifty-eight Dollars
Eleven Cents ($58.11). In 1920 Smith
sold out his interest in his business
to Mr. Cooney and others and they
were not aware that there was any
unpaid taxes. The property which
came into their possession was of
very small value since all the re-
maining property was covered by
liens and incumbrances. Mr. Cooney
has been willing to pay the 1919
tax which was the tax due in 1920
when he became one of the owners
of the property. This tax amounts
to Seventeen Dollars Five Cents
$17.05) plus Three Dollars Forty
Cents ($3.40), or a total of Twenty
Dollars Forty-five cents ($20.45). In
view of the fact that the property
which the purchasers acquired from
Smith was of small value and be-
cause of the further fact that Smith
has no property of his own and a
judgment against him would be of
little value, I consider it advisable
to accept the sum of Twenty Dollars
Forty-five Cents ($20.45) for the 1919
taxes and cancel the 1917 and 1918
taxes as unavailable.
I would therefor recommend that
the taxes assessed to E. W. Smith
be cancelled by the payment to the
City of the sum of Twenty Dollars
Forty-five Cents $20.45) and the
taxes of 1917 and 1918 be declared
unavailable. My check hereto at-
tached covers these amounts.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.

Petition of the Klauer Mfg. Co. by
their attorney, D. J. Lenehan, pro-
testing against the relevy of a spec-
ial assessment for the improvement
of Washington Street presented, and
giving the following reasons:
lst. Because the assessment le-
vied against its property is unequal-
ly distributed upon the lots not
abutting upon the street improved,
not spread over the entire taxable
area and properly apportioned ac-
cording to benefits as required by
the statute, but is assessed accord-
ing to linear frontage of the adja-
cent property.
2nd. The relevy of the assess-
ment for the improvement of Wash-
ington Street is illegal and defective
in that the assessment of the rail-
road company has been reduced as
excessive, and the increased cost of
the improvement made necessary by
the manner of the construction of
the railway company's tracks is im-
posed upon the owner of abutting
and adjacent property without auth-
ority of law.
3rd. The improvement of Wash-
ington Street in front of the Klauer
Mfg. Company's property is improp-
erly and unfairly constructed, not
upon the established grade or pro-
12 Special Session,
per conformation of the same, but
above the established grade on the
West side thereof, so that all water
falling upon or flowing over Wash-
ington Street, between Eighth and
Tenth Streets, is thrown over upon
the East side thereof, and stands
thereon to the great damage of the
Klauer Mfg. Co.
4th. That the schedule prepared
and filed of such proposed re -assess-
ment of the case of the improvement
of Washington Streets does not cor-
rectly show the amount to be as-
sessed against each lot or all of the
lots of the Klauer Mfg. Co., and the
amounts to be assessed against the
railway company tracks in said
street. KLAUER MFG. CO.

Report of the City Engineer on the
petition of Elizabeth Teal, asking for
a reduction in the -assessment
against her property, Lots 16, 17 and
18, Kringle's Sub., for the construc-
tion of a sanitary sewer in West
17th Street, presented and approved.
The assessment as levied against
these lots was $18.91 each. The
value placed on the mby the Som-
mers System was $390.00 each.
There is a building on Lot 18 valued
at $300.00, bringing the value of that
lot to $690.00. The assessment on
this lot is within the required 25
per cent but on the two other lots
it is $30.00 in excess of the 25 per
cent. Even with the bringing of this
assessment within the limitations of
the law, I feel that the amount is
far in excess of the benefits con-
ferred, and would respectfully ask
that the amount of the assessment.
be placed at $300.00.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH TEAL.
By John Teal.
Councilman Gabriel moved that
the prayer of the petitio nbe granted,

Petition of Miss J. E. Kemler, Pre-
sented.
City Manager and Council of the
City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Lots 3-4-5 and the
East 27 ft. of lot 6 of Littleton and
Sawyers sub. were advertised to be
sold at the last tax sale for the 1920
taxes. No mention being made of
due for any prior year. Wishing to
clear the title of lots 5 and 6 at once
. 32 paid the 1920 tax thereon. Then
the abstracor on making his search
told me he had found tax for 1914 to
1919 appearing on the books to be
unpaid, also an old charge for re-
pairing sidewalk. I looked on the
City tax book for 1920 and on the
1921 County tax book and find no
entry of such unpaid tax for those
years nor any other notation of
same. .
If, as Iam advised, this means
that the omitted taxes aro therefore
no longer a lien and the property
cannot be legally sold for same. I
would ask that propor action bo tak-
en by you to show all old taxes can-
celled on the records. Respectfully,
J. E. Kemler, Agent.

Petition of Bessie Baule, present-

Dubuque, Iowa, Jan. 30th 1922.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen:
It is my request that your atten-
tion be called to the assessment for
the improvement of Dodge street
levied against Lot Sub. 5, of City Lot
730, Lot 1 Union Add., $47.95, re-
corded as owned by Frank Baule.
The first installment of this assess-
ment I have paid under protest.
The improvement of Dodge street
has added nu value to this proper-
ty, which consists of a rocky hill-
side, upon which no dwelling can be
built, and is of no value for quarry
or pasture purposes. I therefore
ask that the assessment be annull-
ed or at least reduced to half he
amount, which I believe you will
agree is ample for such a piece of
ground.
Respectfully your,
Bessie Baulo.

petition be referred to the City Man-

Gentlemen: Under the provis-

passed cn January 24th, all electric
wiring and fixtures hereafter install-
ed in the City of Dubuque must be
examined and approved by the City
Electrical Inspect
I have gone over carefully the
available local men for appointment
and believe that S. E. Triller, 993
Garfield avenue, will be able to take
care of the work in a satisfactory
way. He is a local man of consid-
erable experience and moreover, he
has not for a number of years been
connected with any local firm. Mr.
Triller is ready to begin work Tues-
day morning, Fehruary7th, at a sal-
ary of $165.00 per month, the same
to be subject to a revision down-
ward in case going wages are re-
duced. It is expected that the fees

ficient to make the position self sus-

provision made for the payment of

Ordinance. It will, therefore, be
necessary for the Council to author-
ize this expenditure.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Some time ago, the
City sold the cld Fourth Street En-
gine Hors. , which has been for the
past year and a halt, used for a City
garage. It w'll be necessary for us
to erect a City garage on some other
location. For convenience, this loca-
tion should be as near the City Hall
as possible.
I have gone over the available
sites feel personally, that the best
location for this garage is along Elm
street, between 14th St. and 15th St.
on the south end of the block which
the City already owns. My thought
would be to build the garage on the
Elm street end and have the ground
adjacent to the Groat Western rail-
road, available as a storage yard
bcth for street and sower supplies,
as well as water works supplies.
If this location is satisfactory to
the City Council, I will go ahead
and have the necessary plans pre-
pared for the construction of a gar-
age adequate to take care of the
present and prospected future needs
01' the City.
Respoctfally submitted,

ters of the Visitation. His reasons

if the City improves the street at

to repair or improve it again in a
short time, on account of the heavy
traffic that there would be on the

Remonstrance signed b;, 18 proper-

against the improvement for the
following reasons:
This street in our judgement, does
not require repavement or recon-
truction in any form. A reasonable
amount of rc,pair, taking into consid-
eration the amount of travel over it,
will put it in good condition for some
time to come.
Taking into account, the width of
this street, the great expense of the
proposed improvement, the compar-
atively few re3idences upon North
Alta Vist^ street, and the small pL
amount of travel over it, does not
warrant at this time the assessment
of a large and heavy burden of tax-
ation upon the abutters.
We earnestly request that this pro-
posed improvement be postponed
until it shall be more urgently re-
quired, and we are better able to
pay the expense of it.
Signed. COLUMBIA COLLEGE
EDWARD D. HOWARD, Pres.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
46 Special Session, February 14, 1922
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: The petition of J. E.
Kemler, agent, asking for the can-
cellation of taxes from 1914 to 1919
upon Lots 3, 4, 5 and the East 27
feet of Lot 6 of Littleton and Saw-
yer's Subdivision has been referred
to me for an opinion and report.
I beg to advise you that I have
examined the records and find the
statements contained in the petition
to be true. Through an over -sight
of some kind in the taxes upon this
property was not carried forward
as required by law and when the
tax payer paid the taxcs for the
years of 1920 and 1921 the previous
years failed to be shown upon the
tax books and they ceased to be a
lien upon that property, under the
law. I would therefor recommend
that the prayer of her petition be
granted and that the Treasurer be
instructed to cancel as unavailable,
the taxes for the years 1914 to 1919,
both inclusive.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. Czizek.
City Solicitor.

Petition of Louis C. Scherling.
To the City Manager and City Coun-
cil of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The writer finds that
in the matter of payment of taxes
for his mother Lena Scherling, that
there is an apparent error.
You will kindly note that on tax
receipt unmber 433 in the name of
Lena Schei ling, that she paid a sum
total of $105.30. While the writer
believes that this sum should have
been $32.50 as this was a tax on
money and credits of $6500.00 and
he believes that the City was not
justified in collection of corporation
tax in the amount of $72.80. As he
thinks the error so apparent on the
face of it, that he wishes you gen-
tlemen would give the matter your
attention and if Mrs. Scherling is
entitled to a refund, that you will
see that she gets it.
Yours truly,
Louis C. Scherling.

A petition of The Martin Strelau
Company and the Chicago, Mil -
waukee and St. Paul R. R. Company,
by their attor:ieys, Brown, Lacy and
Clewell, presentd, remonstrating
against that part of the proposed im-
provement, lying Easterly of the
East line of Washington street, and
which abutts the ;roperty of the
two parties making this protest,
asking that the improvement be not
made at the present time, and pre-
sent the following reasons:
1—The undersigned are the sole
owners of the property abutting that
part of Seventh street which it is
proposed to improve, that lies East-
erly of the East line of Washington
street, and the improvement of the
property would result in a heavy tax
against each of the parties hereto.
2—It is our understanding that the
owners of property abutting Seventh
street between Jackson and Wash-
ington street do not object to the
proposed improvement. Washing-
ton street has been improved from
the North line of Seventh street,
and if the improvement now pro-
posed is carried down to the East
line of Washington street, it will
make the connection with the im-
proved part of Washington street,
and there would seem to be no nec-
essity for expensive improvement of
that part of Seventh street East of
Washington street at the present
time, nor in any event until such
time as Seventh street Easterly of
the railroad tracks is similarly im-
proved. This part of Seventh street
is in passable condition and com-
pares favorably with that part of
Seventh street lying Easterly of the
railroad tracks.
3—The undersigned Martin-Stre-
lau Company, have been put to a
heavy expense for the improvement
of Washington street Northerly of
Seventh street and it seems to them
to be a great hardship to have ad-
ditional burden put on them of the
expense of the improvement of Sev-
enth street East of Washington
street at this time.
4—The cost of improvement of
this character is still somewhat high
y1
50 Special Session, February 24, 1922
and the financial conditions of the
undersigned, C. M. St. P. R. R. Co.
as well as the Railroads in general
is such, that it is desirable and nec-
essary that expenditures for im-
provements be limited to those that
seem to be essentially necessary.

Petition of C. M. St. P. Railroad
Company, presented.
To the Mayor and City Council of
Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The undersigned C.
M. & St. P. Railroad Co. protests
against the proposed improvement
of Fourth street from the East prop-
erty line of Main street to the East
property line of the alley between
Central avenue and White street,
as set out in resolution of necess-
ity heretofore proposed by the
,Cbuncil, and joins in the protest of
other abutters heretofore made or-
ally to the Council, and respectfully
asks that such improvement, espec-
ially that part of it Easterly of Cen-
tral avenue, abutting this company's
property, be not made at the pres-
ent time, and for the following reas-
ons:
1—The part of the proposed im-
provement Easterly of Central av-
enue abutts this company's property
and the improvement would result
in a considerable assessment
against this company.
2—The street is now in an entire-
ly serviceable condition, being brick
paved and as we understand, the
criticism of its present condition is
that it is in some places somewhat
rough, but that part of it Easterly
of Central avenue which abutts this
company's property is in very good
condition.
3—The cost of improvements of
this character is still somewhat ab-
normaly high and the financial con-
dition of this company as well as of
the railraods in general is such that
it is desirable and necessary that
expenditures limited to those that
seem to be essentially necessary.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Sometime ago a pet-
ition regarding delinquent general
and special taxes due from Dr. Slat-
tery, was presented to the City Coun-
cil and referred to the City Solic-
itor and City Manager for further
negotiation. I beg to advise that a
check has ben handed to the City
Treasurer for the amount of $2,175,-
.13, the same being the amount of
the regular taxes and the amount
of the special assessment as lev-
ied, without interest. Penalties on
the above taxes amount to $521.43.
There are a number of reasons
to be given in favor of a reduction
in these special assessments. The
special assessment as levied covered
also the amount of property given
over for the construction of North
Booth street prior to the levying of
the assessment for the improvement
of Julien avenue. In view of this
and other facts and also in view of
Dr. Slattery's condition, I would rec-
ommend the acceptance of the
checks as handed to the City Treas-
urer as payment in full for all de-
linquent City taxes on this property.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. Carr,
City Manager.
Councilman Rooney moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved, the check be
accepted as payment in full of taxes
and special r.ssessments of Dr. Slat-
tery on this property, and the Coun-
ty Treasurer be notified. Second-
ed by Councilman Gabriel. Carried
by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior, Roon-
ey.

To the Honorable Mayor and the
City Council of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Two years ago, the
Mount Calvary. Cemetery .Associa-
tion started a movement to improve
Davis avenue, from the entrance of
the Cemetery to connect with Wind-
sor avenue.
With subscriptions from such, who
own burial lots in this Cemetery, to-
gether with liberal assistance from
the Sisters of St. Francis Convent,
enough money was collected to
build an eighteen foot wide concrete
road, from tha Cemetery gates to
the West line of the St. Francis
Convent property, some 535 feet.
It now is the wish of the parties,
who had interested themselves in
this, to improve the balance of Dav-
is avenue in the same way, a dis-
tance of about 650 feet.
St. John's Cemetery Association
and the Sisters conducting the St.
Francis Home for the Aged, whose
properties abut the unimproved part
of Davis avenue, have subscribed
enough to cover one-half of the cost.
Of the unimproved portion, one-half
is in the City -Limits and the other
in the Country.
The undersigned committees, rep-
resenting all parties interest in the
improvement, figure that the cost
would be three thousand($3,000.00)
dollars, and respectfully ask the City
Council and the Board of Supervis-
ors of Dubuque County to assist
them to the extent of seven hund-
red and fifty ($750.00) dollars, each.
Mt. Calvary Cemetery is used by
the following parishes: St. Mary's,
Holy Ghost and Holy Trinity. St.
John's Cemetery is used by the fol-
lowing: St. John's, St. Peter's, St.
Mark's, St. Mathews and St. Paul's.
We mention this as it will give
you an idea as to the travel there
is on Davis avenue and for which
reason the street should be put in
first class condition.
The improvement already made
was done under the supervision of
the Mount Calvary Cemetery Asso-
ciation with day labor and It is the
purpose, providing it is agreeable to
the City Council and the Board of
Supervisors, to make the intended
improvement in the same way, sub-
ject to the supervision of this joint
committee.
The undersigned would be glad to
meet with the City Council at any
time or place that would be conven-
ient and agreed upon. This improve-
ment should be made as early as the
weather will permit and for this
reason, we respectfully ask for an
early consideration in this matter.

Dr. D. D. Burrell representing the

measures be enacted by the Council

the varieties of dancing now found
in the public dance halls of the City.

was degenerating the characters of
the young people that attended these
public dances.
He also asked that steps be tak-
en to eliminate the front window
curtains of pool halls and soft drink
parlors, stating that if the business
is being conducted in a legal man-
ner, there is no reason to hide it
from public view. Halalso informed

now pending and that action on
them would be taken in the near
future.

Gentlemen: In accordance with
your request of February, 24th, bids
were received at two o'clock p. m.,
Monday March 6th, for filling of
Rafferty's Slough by dredging some
400,000 cubic yards from the river
and depositing the same into the
slough.
Only one bid was received; that
of the La Crosse Dredging Company,
under which proposal they agreed to
do this work for a price of 18%
cents per cubic yard. They also
agree to start this work as soon as
the Mississippi River opens for the
movement of their equipment. They
also agree to complete the work dur-
ing the coming season.
The representative of the North-
ern Dredging Company, of Minneap-
olis, was also in the City, but had
no equipment available for this work
before next October and for that
reason refrained from giving us a
bid.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
No action taken, the City Solicitor

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: On February 24, 1922,
your Monorable Body referred to me
the petition of Catherine Rea, ask-
ing for a reduction in her special
assessment for the construction of,
a sanitary sewer in West Seven-
teenth street, which assessment was
levied against Lot 1 of Quigley's Sub-
division, Outlot No. 712 and is in the
sum of one hundred twenty-eight
($128.00) dollars. Mrs. Rea offers to
pay fifty per cent (50%) on said as-
sessment and asks a remission of the
balance upon the ground that she is
old and has limited means and is
therefor unable to pay the entire as-
sessment.
I beg to advise you that this as-
sessment is not excessive, based up-
on benefits of her lot, and is within
the legal limitation. The actual
value of this lot, as shown upon the
tax books, is one thousand ($1,000.00)
dollars.
There is no provision in the law
authorizing the Council to remit any
part of a special assessment for the
reasons urged in the petition. There-
fore, for the reasons stated above,
I am constrained to advise you that
this petition should be received and
filed.

Gentlemen: The petition of Leo
Schmied, for remission of terms for
the year of 1921, upon the ground
that he is sick and disabled, and
therefore unable to contribute to the
public revenue, was referred to me
for a report.
As you are aware the Barr re-
quires all petitions of this character
to be filed with the Board of Sup-
ervisors and by them referred to the
Council for its approval. But in pre-
senting such a petition, it must show
that the person is unable to contrib-
ute to the public revenue by reason
of age or infirmity, and must con-
tain a statement of all property;
real or personal, owned or possessed
by the applicant, and must be duly
sworn to. Unless these matters are
compiled with neither the Board of
Supervisors or the Council would
have jurisdiction to act. I therefore
recommend that the petitioner be ad-
vised of the above requirements of
the law so that he may take the
steps necessary. The petition which
is in the form of a personal com-
munication should be returned to the
petitioner.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of City Solicitor Czizek,
giving his opinion as has been re-
quested by the Council at meeting
of March 6th, relative to the right
and power of the city, as a muni-
cipal corporation, to enter into a
contract for the filling of property
owned by the City and commonly
known as Rafferty's Slough. Pre-
sented.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: My opinion has been
requested relative to the right and
power of the City, as a municipal
corporation, to enter into a contract
for the filling of property owned
by the City and commonly known
as "Rafferty's Slough." Incident to
the power to enter into such a con-
tract and ' related thereto is the
method of financing the work con-
templated by the contract. In this
project is also contained the ques-
tion of the City's right to acquire
by purchase or gift other property
adjacent to the property owned by
the City and to which private par-
ties have title, and fill the same to
the grade of the street. In treating
this question in this opinion, I am
always mindful of the reason for fill-
ing such lands, because the entire
scheme must be kept in sight in or-
der to apply the legal tests.
The questions in their simplest
forms, are these:
(1)—Can the City expend funds
upon the improvement of publicly
owned property with the intention
of making such property useful for
private enterprise?
(2)—Can the City acquire by pur-
chase or gift real estate and expend
public funds for its improvement
with the intention of making such
property useful for private enter-
prise?
In answering these questions the
fundamental principle of municipal
law must be recognized and that
principle provides that municipal
corporations have and can exercise
such powers only as are expressly
granted by their charters or legis-
lative acts, or are necessarily im-
plied therefrom or are necessarily
incidental thereto. Under the laws
of this State, Cities have the power
to own and hold real estate. They
also have the power to acquire real
estate by gift or purchase. But in
each instance there is a limitation
upon these powers, which limitation
substantially provides that these
powers must be exercised in the in-
terest of the public. It is true, also,
where Cities have acquired real es-
tate for public purposes and the
same is no longer useful or necess-
ary for the purposes for which it
was originally acquired for, such
real estate may be disposed of. It
must also be admitted that the City
may hold and own property which
might not be necessarily devoted to
public purposes, but this right to
hold and own such property cannot
be extended to the right to acquire
such property by the expenditure of
public funds.
The right to improve property
owned by the City is incidental to
the right to have and to hold but
the right to improve means the ex-
penditure of public money, and this
right can only be exercised when
the improvement is a public improve-
ment.
There isn't any question about
the City's right to expend money
upon property owned by it in order
to abate or remove a nuisance or
in the exercise of its police powers,
that is, to preserve the public
health, morale, comfort and conven-
ience. But again, a limitation must
be recognized here and that is, that
only so much money can be expen-
ed as will remove or abate the
nuisance or accomplish the end in-
tended.
With these princ'ples in mind we
come now to the main question. (1),
Can the City expend public funds
upon the improvement of publicly
owned property with the intention
of making such property useful for
private enterprise?
My answer to this question, nec-
essarily, is in the negative. Nowhere
in the law is such power given. In
fact it is most emphatically denied.
The Courts all over this Country
deny such right and for very good
reasons. The primary purpose in
improving this property would be
to convert useless property into use-
88 Special Session, March 9, 1922
1111 property. Ordinarily that would
be considered a laudable purpose. It
would mean that property which to-
day is of no value may, by the ex-
penditure of money, be made valu-
able and become a profitable invest-
ment. But a City cannot do the
things that a private person can. A
City has no right to go into the
real estate business nor has it a
right to develop property for a spec-
ulation. Councils are merely trustees
for the entire community and that
trust is sacred and surrounded by
legal limitations. Funds cannot be
expended except where and when
authorized.
If it were the intention of the
Council to reclaim this property and
expend money in doing so in order
to erect a necessary public building,
or for some other purely purpose,
there wouldn't be any question about
the power provided, of course, that
the legal proceedure were followed.
But here is a case where the purpose
of the expenditures of public funds
is to create lands for sale or as an
investment with the hope of profit,
or, in other words, as a speculation
proposition. This power, as I have
said, does not exist. The mere fact
that should the property be sold at
a profit and the City Treasury would
be enriched doesn't change or effect
the rule. Now does it matter that
the community, as a whole, is bene-
fited by great manufacturing estab-
lishments which are made possible
by providing sites for their locations.
Where the ultimate purpose is pri-
vate instead of public the expendi-
ture of public funds is denied.
If we conceded that the power to
improve this property were given
under the law, we would still be
confronted with the question of how
to finance the improvement. In the
first place bonds could not be is-
sued. In order to issue bonds there
must be expressed specific authority
from the legislature. No such
authority is provided for to meet
cases of this character. If this ex-
penditure could be made, it would
have to come from the general funds
of the City and from no other source.
Bonds executed without authority
are void. I refer to this question
merely in order to show your Hon-
orable Body that in attempting to
finance a contract of this character
by the issuance of bonds would be
absolutely illegal and void.
The second question "Can the
City acquire, by purchase or gift,
real estate and expend public funds
for its improvement with the in-
tention of making such property use-
ful for private enterprise?" is an-
swered by the foregoing conclu-
sions. That right does not exist.
If the City could not expend public
funds in the development of its own
property for private purpose, with
greater force it could not do so with
property acquired by it.
Before rendering this opinion, I
have made an exhaustive study of
the entire question, and my con-
clusions are based upon the laws
of this State and other States where
the questions have been raised. I
have also tried to find a way where-
by the improvement might be made
but must confess my failure to do
so. While you have been inspired
by the most laudable motives and
what, in your Judgment, was for the
best interests of the community, the
law does not authorize you to pro-
ceed.
Respectfully yours,
M. H. CIZIZEK,
City Solicitor.

igation.

Report of City Manager Carr.
March 15th 1922.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The City Council is
to be congratulated on the very low
bids received for the paving work,
which bids were opened on Monday,
March 13th.
The low price on Sheet Asphalt
was $1.35 per square yard compared
with $2.65 last year, a reduction of
49%. The low price on Bithulithic
paving was $1. 43 per square yard,
compared with $2.40 last year, a re-
duction of over 40%. The low price
for brick paving on a concrete base
was $3.05 as compared with $3.74
last year, a reduction of about 18%.
The reduction in the cost of brick
paving is probably justified by a re-
duction in costs. The reduction in
Sheet paving costs is, in my Judg-
ment not justified by the reduction
in paving costs particularly when it
is understood that our specifications
for Sheet pavement are more rigid
than last year. The total reduction
in cost of the 80,000 square yards
where Sheet or brick pavement was
bid this year as compared with the
price in 1921 amounts to$
This should be good news to the
property owners who in the end will
be called on to pay for the work.
These low prices were brought
about tthrough real competition be-
tween the bidders. There was an
active bidder here from another
state. Then too, our specifications
were opened up to permit the lay-
ing of a concrete pavement with a
granite wearing surface, which gave
competition in a line not controlled
by the state paving contractors or-
ganization, which organization di-
vides the sheet paving work among
their own members. All competi-
tive bidding between state contract-
ors puttting in the sheet pavement
is more apparent than real. I am
not saying that the state organiza-
tion promoting vibrolitic pavement
is operating any differently, but still
there is competition between the two
organizations and between the mem-
bers of the two organizations which
are picked by the organization to
handle the various jobs corning up.
In making my recommendations
regarding the kind of pavement to
be laid, I have had in mind the
importance of retaining for the peo-
ple of Dubuque this continued com-
petition. I have also bourne in mind
the cost, and the desirability of the
different types of 'pavement to meet
the traffic on the different streets.
I am also forced to consider the fact
that 82,000 square yards of paving
are included in these proposals and
while one contractor should be able
to lay this work in one season with-
out difficulty, yet from past perform-
ances here it would seem wise not
to expect too much of one contract-
or. I, also, in fairness to all types
of paving wish to state that the total
comparative costs are probably
somewhat high for bithulithic, as
there is a cost for binder included
in the estimate which we are assur-
ed will not be required or necessary.
Omitting the binder cost the differ-
ence in cost between sheet asphalt
and bithulithic will range between
eight cents per square yard and six-
teen cents per square yard, the sheet
asphalt being the cheaper in every
case.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

Based upon unit prices and ap-
proximate quantities the low sheet
asphalt bid for brick amounts to
$12,032.39; the low bithulithic bid
amounts to $14,251.64; the low bid
for brick amounts to $15,239.64. The
J. F. Lee Paving Co., is low on all
three of these types of pavement.
Even-Uhlrich-Staner Co., is low on
vibrolithic, their bid amounting to
$15,684.78.
I would recommend that this
street be improved by paving with
sheet asphalt (Mexican 13rand in
accordance with proposal,) Dubuque
has a. great deal of asphaltic con-
crete paving and a considerable bitu-
lithic paving, but to date, there has
been no sheet asphalt laid in the
city. Other cities are using sheet
asphalt considerably for the paving
of streets on which a considerable
amount of traffic falls. They are
using this type of pavement in com-
petition with brick and bithulithic.
I feel that this type of pavement is
suited to meet the requirements of
West Fifth street and as the price
is materially less than bitulithic, I
would recommend that the contract
for the improvement of West Fifth
street be warded to the J. F. Lee
Paving Co., who are the low bidders
on this type of pavement.

Jackson Street is bound to become
the street on which most, of the
heavy traffic to the north part of the
city will follow. After preliminary
investigation, I was satisfied with
vibrolithic for a street of this char-
acter and included vibrolithic in our
specifications. Within the past few
weeks I have had reports from a
number of cities where vibrolithic
pavement has been used for a num-
ber of years, and, based upon these
reports togetaher with a personal
investigation of some three miles of
vibrolithic paving outside the city of
Chicago, I would recommend vibro-
lithic pavement for this street and
would therefore recommend that the
contract be awarded to the Even-
Uhlrich-Staner Co., as their bid is
the lowest one reecived for this type
of pavement.
