To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Some time ago a re-
quest was made by the Illinois Cen-
tral Railroad company to the City
Council to cause to be vacated occu-
pants of boat houses along the river
front, particularly upon certain prop-
erty which said company claims to
own and this petition was referred
to me for report. While I have not
Investigate the ownership of the
lands claimed to be owned by the
Illinois Central Railroad company,
the question of causing to be vacat-
ed the•boathouses and buildings lo-
cated along all of the river front has
received my consideration.
As you know the occupants of
these buildings, consisting largely of
boat house and shacks temporarily
constructed, pay a monthly rental to
the city, for the use of that propetty
and in this way the city provides a
place for these people to live. There
has always been some reason for
permitting these buildings to be oc-
cupied being located, .as they are,
upon city property and that reason,
largely has been humanitarian and
based upon the thought that the peo-
ple who occupied these houses were
unable fo procure better quarters
for themselves and family but our
experience during the past two years
convinces me that this is not the
case anymore. During the past two
years the records of the police court
show that nearly two hundred crimes
of one kind or another, from plain
drunks to murder have been com-
mitted by persons occupying or fre-
quenting these places. The chief of
police advises me that the occupants
of these buildings are a constant
menace to the community and I
share his view that they should be
eliminated. I have asked the chief
to be present at this meeting so
that he could give you his version
of the situation so that you may
have a complete understanding of
the case.
My recommendation, therefor, is
that no lease be given to any .per-
sons to occupy these buildings on
the river front and that the owners
of such buildings be notified to re-
moved the same within thirty days
or at the latest before October 1st
of this year. Any building occupied
after that time or remaining upon
the city property should be removed
therefrom so that the situation may
be fully and finally taken care of.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Melchior moved that
the report of the City Solicitor and
the Chief of Police be approved and
carried out as recommended. Sec-
onded by Councilman Gabriel. Car-

To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, First
National Bank, stands charged with
certain unpaid taxes for the year
1919 and in order to adjust the same
and avoid any further questions re-
garding this tax, there is hereby sub-
mitted to you this offer to compro-
mise and settlement.
The City Council sitting as a
Board of Equalization in 1919 fixed
the valuation of the stock of the
First National Bank at $139,500. This
action was confirmed by the City
Council and a tax levied on that
amount. This tax was not paid due
to the fact that certain legal com-
plication existed which operated to
releave the bank of its assessments
due to thb fact that it was a holder
in good faith of Government secur-
ities. The tax levy for that year
was 15% mills. This bank is sat-
isfied to waive all legal questions in-
volved in the tax and hereby tend-
ers and requests the acceptance by
the City Council of the sum of
$1622.38, the same being the differ-
ence between the total tax of
$2162.25 and $539.87 which we have
already paid, the same to be con-
sidered full payment of all taxes de-
linquent and charged against this
bank for the year 1919. We urge
upon you to accept this proposition
which we voluntarily make and
cause to be cancelled all unpaid
484 Special Session, August 24th, 1925
taxes against this bank upon its
stock for the year 1919.
Respectfully yours,
FIRST NATIONAL BANK,
Wm. Lawther, Jr.,
Vice President.
Resolution.
Whereas, First National Bank has
petitioned this Council to accept in
full payment of unpaid taxes for
the year 1919 the sum of $1622.38 in
order to adjust and compromise a
claim for taxes which is charged
upon the tax books against said
bank: and
Whereas, this Council is desirous
of 'having the matter of delinquent
taxes of First National Bank finally
disposed of and believes that the set-
tlemen voluntarily proposed by said
bank is a fair and equitable one;
now therefore:
Be it resolved by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque that the
petitions and offer of settlement
made by the First National Bank
agreeing to pay the sum of $1622.38
in full of delinquent and unpaid tax-
es for the year 1919 be and the same
is hereby accepted.
Be it further resolved that the City
Clerk notify the Treasurer of Du-
buque County to cancel said tax up-
on his books.
Passed, adopted and approved this
24th day of August, 1925.

From City Manager Douglas and
City Engineer Cullen to Honorable
Council:
Subject: West street.
On inspection of West street we
find that there is no outlet for a
sewer on this street until a complete
system has been laid out for this sec-
tion of the city. Therefore, we can-
not recommend any permanent im-
provement, as paving, until such
time as the sewer has been con-
structed on this street. We how-
ever, recommend that this street be
graded and placed in a passable con-
dition.
Respectfully submitted,
C. E. DOUGLAS,
City Manager.
WALTER H. CULLEN,
City Engineer.
Councilman Melchior moved that

the park, this would go for repair-

A Resolution Correcting the Descrip-
tion of the Location of the
Proposed Improvement of
Julien Avenue.
Whereas, the Resolution of Nec-
essity providing for the improve-
ment of Julien avenue, the resolu-
tion ordering the construction of
said improvement, and the published
notice to contractors, describes the
location of said improvement to be
"The improvement of Julien avenue
from the 4�gqr_�th line of Hill street to ,
the east irOel of Alta Vista street,"
and again to be the "Improvement
of Julien avenue from Hill street
to the east line of Alta Vista street,"
and again to be the "Improvement
of Julien avenue from the west line
of Hill street to the east line of
Alta Vista street," and
Whereas, Hill street and West 8th
street form an intersection with
each other at a point where Julien
avenue begins; and
Whereas, the north line of West
8th street appears to be the point
where Julien avenue commences,
rather than Hill street, and while
no real misunderstanding could
arise from the descriptions hereto-
fore given in prior resolutions and
notices as to the actual location of
the improvement proposed still it is
deemed advisable by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque to more
definitely and clearly fix, establish
and describe said improvement:,
,Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the City Council of the City of Du-
buque that the improvement of
Julien avenue be and the same is
hereby described to be as follows:
,"The improvement of Julien ave-
nue from the north line of West
8th street to the east line of Alta
Vista street,."
Be it further resolved that in all
subsequent proceedings taken by
this Council with reference to said
improvement the foregoing descrip-
tion thereof shall be used as and
for the correct description of the
same.

2nd day of September, 1925.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: My attention has
been called to a mistake which oc-
curred in the office of the County
Treasurer in the collection of a spec-
ial assessment against Lot 89 in Bel-
mont Addition, said lot belonging to
Peter H. Kersch. This lot was as-
sessed for the sewer in O'Neil street.
Mr. Kersch paid the first installment
to the City Treasurer and thought
he had paid the second installment
to the county treasurer but upon in-
vestigation it was found that he was
not credited with the payment of
the second installment. Further in-
vestigation revealed the fact that
another lot located in Ham's Addi-
tion but belonging to a party with a
similar name was assessed for a
sewer in Rhomberg avenue district
and when Mr. Kersch paid his sec-
ond installment his payment was
credited to the lot in Ham's Addition
rather than to his lot. He has now
paid the full amount of his assess-
ment for the O'Neil street sewer and
is entitled to a refund of $6.61, the
amount which he paid as the second
installment. The Auditor should be
directed to draw a warrant in favor
of Peter Kersch in the sum of $6.61.
The City Treasurer should be in-
structed to confer with the County
Treasurer •and corect the error
which shows the payment of the sec-
ond installment levied against the
southeast one-half of lot 443 in
Ham's Addition. The second install-
ment on this lot was not paid by
the owner of that property and the
same should be adjusted.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK.

recommendation of the City Solic-
ior be approved and carried out as

Petition of Thos. F. Kenneally, for
a reducton in the assessment as lev-
ied against his property, Sub. lot 3
of Min. lot 31 of lot 1 for the im-
provement of South Grandview aven-
ue, from Bryant street to Southern
avenue. Amount of assessment is
$1447.45, which he claims is in ex-
cess of 25 per cent valuation of the
property, the property being as-
sessed for taxation purposes at $2560
and he claims that $640 is all that
he oughttb be assessed for.

cil's intention to levy a special as-
sessment as provided by law and to
issue bonds to pay for the improve-
ment of Asbury street from the west
line of St. Ambrose street to the
City limits.
Remonstrance of Bridget Monahan
and the Bernard Monahan Estate,
against the assessment, claiming
that the assessments against this
property totaling $964.90 for street
improvement and $94.20 for water
connections are excessive, and in
contravention of the laws of the
State of Iowa. She claims that the
sewer connections are unreasonable
because they cannot be used in con-
junction with the lots, furthermore
she is old and infirm and her weans
are small and if obliged to pay the
full assessment she will be deprived
Of her only means of support.
Remonstrance of T. J. Stierman
against the assessment and the issu-
ance of bonds, also • Lillian Kinsella
remonstrating against the assess-
ment and the issuance of bonds,
stating that the council failed to
publish the proper resolutions, that
the letting of the Contract was il-
legal, because there were no com-
petitive bids.

and Frank Hickson, stating that
the assessment against their prop-
erty is too high, and they hereby
ask that the assessment be reduced,
as does also Wm. J. Latimer.

poses and recommends that the taxes

titled to a refund of $5.52.

These refunds are due petitioners
on the 1924 taxes, and I would re-
spectfully recommend that a warrant
be drawn in favor of the owners
named herein and that the City
Clerk instruct the County Treasurer
to cancel the unpaid portion of such
taxes.

The City Solicitor reported on the
following cases against the City:
Gertrude Corbett vs. City of Du-
buque. This case involved a per-
sonal injury for which plaintiff
674 • Special Session, October 26th, 1925
sought to recover the sum of
$5,000.00. This case was tried once
and a verdict rendered against the
City for $2,500.00. A new trial was
granted which was called for trial
again at this term. I considered it
advisable to effect a settlement.
This settlement was made and agreed
upon for the sum of $1,000.00, the
City to pay the costs. ,If this is sat-
isfactory kindly have awarrant
drawn in favor of J. W. Kintzinger,
attorney for plaintiff, for $1,000.00
and another warrant in the sum of
$151.05 in favor of Robert Marshall,
clerk of the District Court.
Mary Fortune vs. City of Dubuque.
This was a claim for personal in-
juries sustained in a fall upon a de-
fectiveapron at the corner of West
Third and Bluff streets. Suit was
brought in the sum of $5,000.00. An
adjustment has been agreed upon for
the sum of $750.00, the plaintiff to
pay the costs. If this is satisfactory.
kindly have a warrant drawn in fa-
vor of Kenline, Roedell, Hoffmann &
Tierney, attorneys for plaintiff, in
the sum of $750.00.
In each of these cases the liability
of the City was carefully considered
and my recommendation is based up-
on the thought that it would be ad-
vantageous to the City to settle for
the amount stated rather than have
the same tried.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.

` 'Jacob Gail -ten -5M addressed the
Council and stated that he objected
to the vacating of said alley, for
the reason that if he wanted to sell
his property which is an estate, left
by his parents and is for sale now,
it would be harder to sell without
an alley than with an alley, he has
no objections to Mr. Paley using
said alley for his garage as he is
doing at present, but he thinks it
would be unwise for the city to va-
cate and sell this alley.
The City took no further action
on this matter, the Manager stating
that he would see Mr. Paley and
make arrangements whereby he may
use the said alley; and pay the City
a small rental therefor.

Subject: Tax Sale Certificate
against Lot 1 of 2 of 7 of M. L.
158.
Mr. A. Kniestedt, owner of Lot 1
of 2 of 7 of Mineral Lot 158, is re-
questing an adjustment of a tax sale
certificate amounting to $30.13 plus
costs and penalties, which make a
total of $40.18.
Mr. Kniestedt is willing to pay the
original $30.13, but as he knew
nothing about this assessment at the
time he bought the lot he feels that
he should not pay the penalties.
This assessment was not on record
at the time his abstract was made.
therefor it did not show up as being
charged against the lot.
The City bought in this assessment
at a tax sale. I would recommend
that we settle with Mr. Kniestedt for
the original assessment of $30.13.
Respectfully submitted,
C. E. DOUGLAS,

Report of the City Solicitor
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: The City of Dubuque
acquired through tax sales deed of
the north 29 feet 2 inches of lot 240
of Glendale Addition, belonging to
Rose Francois. This sale was made
for delinquent tax for the improve-
ment of Washington street and the
certificate was acquired in 1921 and
the deed in 1924. I have taken the
matter up with Nick Francois the
husband of the owner of this prop-
erty and he advises me that there
are certain circumstances connected
with this matter which entitled them
to consideration.
I agree entirely with his position
and for that reason I would recom-
mend that the City cause to be exe-
cuted a deed of this property to Rose
Francois upon payment to the City
of the sum of $92.23, this being the
amount which the City has invested.
If this is agreeable I would recom-
mend that the resolution attached
hereto be adopted.
Respectfully submitted.
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Mercurio Pusateri has
brought suit against the City for
damages resulting from personal in-
juries and damages to an automobile
which was struck by a falling tree
on Jackson Street on the 26th day of
December, 1924. As you remember I
discussed this case with the Council
the time of the accident and I am
convinced that the City was to blame
for the conditions existing there at
the time.
When Jackson Street was improved
the roots of a tree were cut off, and
this weakened the support so that
the tree was blown over and onto
the car of the plaintiff.
Suit was brought in the sum of
$2.250.00 and was based upon per-
sonal injuries as well as damages to
the car. I have affected a settlement
in this case for the amount of the
repairs to the car amounting to
l226.75, and I would recommend that
this settlement be approved and that
a warrant be drawn in favor of
Frantzen, Bonson & Gilloon, attor-
neys for plaintiff. The plaintiff will
pay the costs.
Respectfully submitted.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Fred Gasser, an em-
ployee of the City, was injured in
July this year and the City was re-
sponsible for medical attention as
well as ordinary compensation.
In order to determine the extent
of the injuries, and to see that he-
ceived proper care, I arranged with
Doctors Moes and Palen to take an
x-ray and furnish him with ordinary
medical attention. 1 have received a
statement which is attached hereto
for $30.00 for this service, and I
would recommend that a warrant be
drawn in favor of Doctors Moes and
Palen for this amount.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: At a recent meeting
of this Council settlement was made
with Dr. A. N. Fosselman in the sum
of $750.00 for damages sustained by
him in a fall on the 20th day of Jan-
uary, 1925.
When this case was brought
against the City I notified the North-
western Telephone Co. that the City
claimed that it was responsible for
the accident and requested that they
interest themselves to the extent of
settling the same or defending.
I have had several conferences
with the attorney representing this
Company and was assured that if the
City settled the same for $750.00 the
Company would reimburse the Cit
to the amount of the settlement.
This transaction has now been made
and there is hereto attached the vou-
cher check of the Northwestern Tele-
phone Company in favor of the City
of Dubuque in the sum of $750.00,
which reimburses the City for its
outlay in this case.
I would recommend that the City
Treasurer endorse this voucher as
City Treasurer and that he be sb in-
structed to do so by motion of this
Council.
There is also attached hereto a
Release and Settlement which should
be executed by the City Manager up-
on instruction from the Council, and
I advise that a motion be made di-
recting Mr. Douglas to execute this
settlement agreement on behalf of
the City of Dubuque.
Respectfully submitted,

To the Mayor and City Council of
the City of Dubuque, and to
M. H. Czizek, City Attorney.
Gentlemen:
In re: Appeals of Birdena E. Bush
and Virg E. R. Robinson from pav-
ing assessments.
In this matter when I appeared be-
fore you the City Manager and some
of you had already examined the
property and had decided upon cer-
tain reductions in the assessments
upon the various lots. At that time
I advised you that the reductions
were so inadequate that as to certain
of the lots the owners would elect
to allow them to be confiscated ra-
ther than pay the proposed tax.
I have just gone over the matter
with my clients and I find they have
definitely decided to allow the City
to take Lots 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22
rather than pay assessments upon
them. They would be glad to have
the assessments cancelled and they
would then deed the lots over to the
Park Board if the Park Board would
accept the lots; otherwise they
would allow the City to sell the lots
for the taxes and let them go. We
are proposing this to you and in con-
nection with it would ask that you
grant upon the remaining lots the
reductions which you had contem-
plated granting at that time unless
you would in the meantime feel that
fairness would require still greater
reduction. The remaining lots would
be Lots 1, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.
This formal letter is in confirma-
tion of a conversation which I have
just had with the City Attorney and
I am presenting it to you because 1
believe it will appeal to your sense
of fairness when you take into ac-
count the value of the property. 1
have said frankly to the City Attor-
ney that I believe I can find no way
to stay in court upon the appeals
which I have taken and the City At-
torney understands that I am claim-
ing no technical legal rights growing
out of said appeals.
I would appreciate it if you would
give the matter attention and advise
us at your earliest opportunity what
reductions will be made upon the re-
maining lots and in what manner
you would care to have those lots
numbered 18 to 22 inc. turned over
to you.
Very truly yours,
HURD, LENEHAN, SMITH
& O'CONNOR.
—By W. A. Smith.
Councilman Brede moved that the
reductions on this property be made
as recommended by the Council at a
previous meeting, and the Council
will accept a deed for Lots 18, 19, 20,
21 and 22 as offered in the petition.

duce net annual sums as hereinafter
provided.
Section 2. Said taxes shall be col-

Council stating that when the City
constructed the Southern Avenue
District Sewer, he gave the privilege
to construct the sewer through and

were before the sewer was construct-
ed. This was not done, and further-
more the contractor placed a man-
hole in one of the lots, which de-
preciates the value of this lot very
much. If the City has this manhole
_ removed and_the lots, -levied -as they
were he will be perfectly satisfied.

manhole moved as soon as the weath-

before. the sewer was constructed.

tion of a sanitary sewer in Roose-
velt Street from the end of the

spectfully asks that these assess-
ments be reduced to these figures.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At the present term
of the District Court of Dubuque
County, Iowa, two cases involving
February 1st, 1.92h
personal injuries have been disposed
of. The nature of these actions is
as follows:
Josephine Gantenbein vs. City of
Dubuque, This case was brought, to
recover damages on account of a bro-
ken leg which plaintiff sustained by
failing on a sidewalk abutting the
tin shop of F. C. Luther, 2230 Central
Avenue. Plaintiff sustained rather
serious injuries and brought suit for
$10,000. After all of the evidence
had been introduced, 1 made a mo-
tion to direct a verdict in favor of
the City which the Court sustained.
May Phillips vs. City of Dubuque.
This action was based upon personal
injuries which plaintiff sustained on
the night of May 2, 1925, when an
automobile in which she was ridin
struck and run onto a pile of dirt
located at the corner of Delhi and
Algona Streets. An excavation was
made in the street at that point by
Mr. Rellihan, plumber, and the dirt
thrown up onto the street. The auto-
mobile turned over and Miss Phil-
lips sustained terrible injuries, most
of which are permanent and have
renderd her a cripple. Damages were
asked in the sum of $25,000. 1 no-
tified Mr. Rellihan to defend in the
suit as he was covered to the extent
of $1,000.00 by a bond in the Fidelity
and Deposit Company of Maryland.
The case went to trial and after
plaintiff had introduced a great part
of her testimony, negotiations for
settlement were undertaken. The
result was that I agreed to pay
$3,500.00 plus the costs. Cf this
amount, however, the bonding com-
pany will pay $750.00 and the City
will be reimbursed to 'that extent.
Under all of the circumstances sur-
rounding this action, I consider this
settlement very advantageous to the
City and trust that it will meet with
your approval. If is does, I respect-
fully recommend that a warrant for
$3,500.00 be orderd issued upon the
Treasurer in favor of John Knoll and
Milton Glenn, attorneys for May
Phillips, and the amount of the costs
will be reported to you as soon as I
learn what the amount is.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
Solicitor.
Councilman Brede moved that the
report of the City Solicitor be ap•
proved and his recommendation be
carried out and the City Auditor be
instructed to draw a warrant in the
sung of $3,500.00 in favor of John
Knoll and Milton Glenn, attorneys for
May Phillips, settlement for personal
injury claim. Seconded by Council-
man Gabriel. Carried by the follow-
ing vote:

against their respective properties

ferred to the City Solicitor at a pre-

ment roll be changed so, as to dis-
tribute the sum of $362.50 upon the
lots of Mr. Jones, and the balance of
$1,615 be divided equally among the
lots of Mrs. Ilg, Mr. Buettell and Mr.
Stampfer, so that each of these three
parties be assessed the sum of $417.50
with interest that has accumulated.

figure these assessments as stated
upon the Treasurer's books and after

CITY COUNCIL
(Official.)
Special Session, April .12th, 1926.
Meeting called by order of Coun-
cilman Ed. Schrempf and Mayor
Melchior.
Council met at ten A. M.
Present—City Manager Douglas,
Mayor Melchior, Councilmen Maclay.
Meuser, Schrempf and Yount.
Mayor Melchior read the call and
stated that this meeting is called
for the purpose of adopting a reso-
lution of condolence on the death
of Ex -mayor Chris. Berg and a reso-
lution of condolence on the death of
Ex -mayor Daniel Haas, and any
other business that may come be-
fore the Council.
Resolution of condolence on the
death of Ex -mayor Chris Berg pre-
sented.
On the occasion of the death of
Hon. C. H. Berg, the City Council of
Dubuque desires to express that ap-
preciation of his useful life which
the citizens of this community gen-
erally entertain.
Mr. Berg was a resident of Du-
buque and vicinity for practically the
entire active period of his life of S5
years. He was a gallant soldier in
the Civil War, and, coming to Du-
buque from Galena after his period
of military service, took up his trade
of printer and became and remained
to the end of his career one of the
successful business men of our city.
He was president of the Union Trust
& Savings Bank for many years and
until his . death.
Mr. Berg's attractive personal
qualities, his mildness, kindness and
courtesy, drew the attention of his
fellow citizens to his eligibility for
public life. He was chosen alder-
man from the Fourth Ward in 1896
and served as chairman of the City
Council Committee on Finance in a
difficult period, with such demonstra-
tion of ability that in 1898 he was
chosen Mayor. He served in this
latter position for four terms, or
from 1898 to 1906, and his admin-
istration was distinguished by care-
ful, capable and economical manage-
ment of the financial affairs of this
municipality and by genuine regard
for the interests of the taxpayers.
Following his retirement from the
mayoralty, Mr. Berg resisted every
appeal for his return to public life,
but continued his activity on behalf
of his comrades of the Civil War and
his interest in their affairs. He was
for many years, and until his death,
'I l
commander of the Hyde Clark Post,
Grand Army of the Republic, of
which he was a charter member, and
this body and this community sin-
cerely sympathize with his comrades
in the loss of their devoted and be-
loved leader.
Be it resolved by the City Council
of the City of Dubuque that the sen-
timents expressed in this resolution
be made a matter of record in the
permanent council proceedings of
this Council and that a copy hereof
be sent to the bereaved family of
said deceased.
Councilman Yount moved the ad-
option of this resolution. Seconded
by Councilman Maclay. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Melchior, Council-
men Maclay, Meuser, Schrempf, and
Yount.
Nays—None.
Resolution of condolence on the
death of Ex -mayor Daniel Haas pre-
sented.
The City Council of Dubuque re-
cords with regret the death of Hon.
Daniel J. Haas, former mayor of the
City of Dubuque and former member
of this city's board of aldermen.
Mr. Haas entered the public life
of this community as alderman-at-
la.rge and served in this capacity
with such usefulness and fidelity
that his election to the mayoralty
followed. He retired from this posi-
tion with an honorable record of
public service to resume his profes-
sion of pharmacist which engaged
his attention for the remainder of
his life. His was the career of which
America affords so many examples,
that of the young emigrant appreci-
ating the opportunities afforded by
our country and struggling unaided
to improve himself until he obtained
honorable recognition in business
circles and also in public life. His:
unpretentious demeanor, and nis
democracy of spirit, evidenced in his
kindly consideration for all, begot.
for him the large degree of favor he
enjoyed in private business and In
public affairs.
Resolved by the City Council of
the City of Dubuque that the senti-
ments expressed in this resolution
be made a matter of record in the
permanent council proceedings of
this Council and that a copy hereof
be sent to the bereaved family of
said deceased.

To the Honorable Mayor- and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The case of Beutin
et al vs. City of Dubuque, Equity
21,825 was an appeal taken from the
levy of certain special assessments
for the construction of a main sew-
er and laterals in the Eagle Point
Sewer District. Many questions
were involved in this action and
among them was the objection that
the assessments were In excess of
25 per cent of the actual value of
the lots upon the date of levy. The
case came on for trial at this term
of Court and it was deemed advis-
able by the Council and myself, in
order to lessen the expense incident
to the trial of the case which ap-
parently would take considerable
time to dispose of to appoint a com-
mittee of disinterested citizens who
would act as appraisors of the in-
dividual lots and fix the value and
the assessment would be based up-
on one-fourth of such value. It was
agreed that three appraisors be ap-
pointed, one by the City, the other
by the plaintiffs in the suit and the
third by these two and the expense
incident to such appralsement to be
borne partly by the City and partly
by the Plaintiffs. This anpraise-

The matter of purchasing two new
pieces of Fire Apparatus was again
brought before the Council, action
116 Special Session, May 17th, 1926
having been deferred at the prev-
ious meeting. In connection with
the purchase of the two new pieces
of apparatus, members of the Coun-
cil engaged in some discussion re-
garding keeping within the budget.
All members of the Council intend
to keep within the budget, regard-
ing expenditures. It was shown how-
ever that at the time of the budget
the replacement of fire equipment
had not been anticipated, and would
not have been made if it were not
for the fact that continued use of
the equipment would endanger hu-
man life.
The prices quoted were as follows:
The American La France Company
for the two pieces being $23,500,
they allow $5,000 for the two old
pieces, making a net price of $18,500.
The Ahrens, Fox Company quoted
a price of $22,075 and made no al-
lowance for the old equipment.
Councilman Schrempf moved that
the City Manager be authorized to
purchase the Fire Apparatus needed
from the American LaFrance Com-
pany, theirs being considered the
lowest bid. Seconded by Council-

A communication from the Du-
buque Trades and Labor Congress.
To the Honorable City Mayor and
Councilmen of Dubuque, Iowa:
"Dear Sirs:
"At the regular meeting of the Du-
buque Trades and Labor Congress I
was instructed to notify your honor-
able body that the members of the
Labor Congress are protesting
against the violations of and actual
indifference to the building code by
our City Manager and the Building
Commissioner.
"We wish at this time to call your
attention to the fact that these viola-
tions were called to their attention
at various times with no results.
They were called to their attention
at various times, so that worn out
excuses and alibis could not be giv-
en for the purpose of not enforcing
the code. And with these facts in
view the members of the Labor Con-
gress protest to your honorable body
against the indifference and viola-
tions that are allowed. It is also
contended by the members of the
Labor Congress that the present
code was drawn up by men who
were thoroughly versed in their pro-
fession, and that it was not their in-
tention . to allow construction that
was considered 'just as good,' in-
stead of what was known to be best,
safest and most practicable.
"We further insist that the various
heads of the departments should en-
force the code to the letter and that
no leniency be shown unfair con-
tractors; what is good for one is
good for another. And we respect-
fully request that the various depart-
ments give due and just considera-
tion to complaints brought before
them in the future.
DUBUQUE TRADES AND
LABOR CONGRESS.
Art Wolff, Secretary."

Petition of Dubuque County Good
Roads Assn., June 9th, 1926.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlement: Your petitioners
would respectfully call your atten-
tion to the fact that the voter's at
an election heljl June 7th, 1926, fav-
orably voted to pave the primary
roads of the County and also favor-
ably voted for a Bond Issue to sup-
ply the necessary funds to cover the
cost thereof. Inasmuch as the Board
of Supervisors of Dubuque County
have expressed their determination
to pave immediately the Key West
road, to the City limits, it forcibly
brings forth the fact that the portion
of the Rockdale road connecting with
South Locust Street should be in-
cluded in the same project. As
experienced previously on this pro-
ject, when grading, draining and
rough surfacing, the economical
method proved that the entire con-
tract should be let in conjunction
with the County as contractors
would bid less on the larger work.
This organization would therefore
respectfully request that your Hon-
orable Body take such immediate ac-
tion as you deem best.
Respectfully submitted,
L. H. BREDE,
Chairman Finance Com.
KENDALL BURCH,
Member Executive Com.
Councilman Schrempf moved that
the communication be made a matter

hereby asks the Council to investi-
gate and remedy this condition.
Councilman Schrempf moved that
the matter be referred to the City
Manager to investigate and report

To the Honorable Council.
Subject: Fire Equipment.
We received bids sometime ago
on fire equipment and at that time
I recommended the purchase of two
pieces of equipment from the Ameri-
can La France Fire Engine Com-
pany. The bids on the same type
of equipment from the American La
France and the Ahrens Fox Co.,
were within $20.00 of each other,
the Ahrens Fox being $20.00 higher.
Since that time I have been look-
ing into the maintenance of the
equipmnet that we have in service
furnished by both companies. l find
that the American La France equip-
ment for some reason, is costing us
more to maintain.
In addition to this the Ahrens Fox
Co., has bid on their latest improved
automobile tractor drawn service
ladder truck. The advantage that
this truck has over the other service
ladder trucks is that it has six
wheels and has a steering apparatus
known as the Tiller in connection
with the rear wheels. This makes
the machine much more flexible and
will be much more serviceable on
our hills and crooked streets. The
cost of the piece of apparatus is
$1450.00 more than the four wheel
service ladder truck.
Since the bids have been received
Chief Fisher and the Mayor have had
the privilege of seeing one of these
new trucks. The Chief has gon.•
over it in detail and is of the opin
ion that this truck would give us
much more service than the other
ladder truck of either make and
would be a piece of equipment the
would last the city many years
longer than the four wheel type and
would do better work for us.
We have the same proposition
from both companies for terms and
interest on deferred payment so that
158 Special Session, June 10th, 1926
the only difference in the original
recommendation to the council anti.
this recommendation is that we will
get a larger and better service lad-
der truck with chemical attachments
than was proposed heretofore.
After going over all details thor-
oughly with Chief Fisher I am con-
vinced from his experience that the
Ahrens Fox pumper and the tractor
drawn ladder truck will be the best
and most economical purchase for
the city to make.
The attached proposal shows a cut
of the trailer on Form 757 and a cut
of the ladder and chemical equip-
ment on Form 758.
I therefore recommend the pur-
chase of this equipment from the
Ahrens Fox Co., in place of iuy prev-
ious recommendation.
Respectfully submitted,
C. E. DOUGLAS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schrempf moved that
the recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved, and a contract be
entered into with the Ahrens Fox
Company for fire pumper and tractor
drawn ladder truck, and all former
action on this matter be rescinded.
Seconded by Councilman Meuser.

Petition of Sarah Wiehl owner of

Add., stating that she was assessed
$196.88 for construction of sanitary
sewer in Foye Street Nov. 2nd, 1925.
claiming that this is a hillside lot of
very little value. She offers to pay
$25.00 in full for this assessment.
Referred to the Council at a former
meeting.
The Council upon viewing same,
decided that Sarah Wiehl be notified
to pay $50.00 for this assessment,
and if satisfactory the Treasurer be
notified to accept same and cancel
the assessment on his books.

Street from the old corporation line
to Dodge Street and Locust Street
from the south line of Dodge Street
to the north line of West 17th Street
and that triangular portion of Bluff
Street where Bluff and Locust
Streets intersect near West 16th
Street.
Remonstrances were filed against
the improvement of said street by
I. C. R. R. Co., objecting to the
assessment proposed to be levied
against said Co., claiming that they
would be assessed for more feet than
they should be. Also remonstrance
filed by about 80 signers objecting
to the improvement of this street
for the reason, that the street was
built in 1916, only 10 years ago,
and that it would be unjust and un-
fair and places an unjustable burden
on the property owners abutting,
said street, to compel them to pay
fol a new street when the old one
has given less than 10 years service.
Signed by 80 signers.
Petition of A. A. Cooper Inc., re-
monstrating against the improving
of South Locust Street, stating that
the street is in pretty good condi-
tion and all it needs is a little re-
pairIug, here and there.
Petition of Helen Meehan, Mrs.
Maud Jacobs et al, remonstrating
against the improvement, stating
that some of the abuttrrs just got
through paying for the improvement
of this street and to again assess
them for improving it, when the
street is in fairly good condition and
could be easily repaired, would work
a hardship on the abutters. Signed
by 20 signers.
