Resolution No. 11-31.
Whereas, the Iowa State Legisla-
ture has establshed a Primary Road
System financed from a Primary
Road Fund, which fund is largely
supported by present automobile li-
cense fees and present tax on the
,w4ile w ;asoilne, aau
Whereas, the revenue from such
two sources now exceeds the amount
anticipated and is in excess of the
amounts required for said Primary
Road System, and
Whereas, the present increase, and
the anticipated large future increase,
in vehicular traffic on streets of the
towns and cities of the State of Iowa
will cause an enormous annual ex-
pense of maintaining said pavements
and semi -pavements and
Whereas, about 60 per cent of the
State income from Gas Tax and Li-
cense Fees is collected from cities
and towns but now used exclusively
for road purposes outside of corpor-
ate limits, and
Whereas, the present method of
maintaining said streets of the towns
and cities of this State is by.taxation
or special assessment which meth-
ods are approaching the stage of
confiscation in many municipalities.
Now, therefore: Be it resolved by
the Council of the City of Dubuque,
Iowa, that the following recommend-
ations be made to Senator and Rep-
resentatives for presentation and
support in the General Assembly:
1. That the State of Iowa should
grant to each, City and town an an-
nual sum of money for the mainten-
ance and reconstruction of the
streets of the municipality equivalent
to not less than 50 per cent of the
motor vehicle license fees collected
r from said municipality; or grant a
sum of money equivalent to not less
than 25 i I fees collected mer cent of the o
annually frothe tax
1 1 Regular Session, January Sth, 1931
on the sale of gasoline and the fees
from motor vehicle licenses; or
grant a sum equal amount of relief
based on some other plan.
2. That the proposed sums appro-
priated by the States to Cities and
Towns for road purposes should be
required by law to replace present
tax levies on property.
3. That the General Assembly
should not increase gasoline tax.

To the Honorable Mayor January 7, 1931.
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
On December 23rd the application
of Mr. Herman Morris of 1824 White
Street, Dubuque, was referred to the
writer for investigation and report.
Mr. Morris has, within the last
four months, moved to Dubuque
from Meadow, South Dakota. He
has presented his discharge from the
World War service, being designated
as No. 3045 of April 21, 1919. Mr.
Morris is slightly crippled at present
as he has had a bad attack of in-
flamatory rheumatism which has left
his arms partially stiffened. Mr.
:Morris is not affiliated with the local
American Legion.
The writer believes that while this
gentleman has had war service and
the Council has in two cases prior to
this application granted certain in-
dividuals, having war service, per-
mission to peddle fruit and vege-
tables without paying the $50.00
license fee to the City, that to grant
this application would start a pre-
cedent toward favoring unfortunate
individuals from other cities and lo-
cations. I should think it would be
reasonable to expect persons to re-
side in this City at least one year
prior to granting any favors not
granted to the ordinary individual.
Accordingly the writer would sug-
gest that the application be not
allowed.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

the recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved. Seconded by
Councilman Jansen. Carried by the

To The Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:
The Voelker Realty Company and
C. A. Voelker et al have taken ap-
peals from special assessments here-
tofore levied against their respective
properties herein described for the
construction of sewers in Adair
Street, Green Street, and Oak Street.
These appeals are ready for trial at
this term of Court. In preparing
for trial, I discussed with the City
Engineer the various properties in-
volved in these appeals before taking
the matter up with the interested
parties..I then had a conference with
Mr. Kolfenback, representing the
Voelker Company, and his Attorney.
and we came to an agreement for the
purpose of settlement. I might ad-
vise you further that practically all
of these lots have been sold.for tt,p
delinquent taxes and the Citv is
the owner of tax certificates therpnn
so that, if you aunrove the sugees`P I
settlement it will mean thF. anrr—i-
cler of the certificates unon the r nV_
ment of the amounts herein stis-
gested.
In Re Green Street Sewer
The Voelker Realty Company is
theowner of Lots 13, 14, 15, 16 and
17, Mills West Dubuque Addition
and each of these lots was assessed
in the sum of $68.78 for the Green
Street sewer. These. lots have an
actual value as follows: Lot 13,
$1,400 and Lots 14, 15, 16, and 17.
$100 each. The assessment against
Lot 13 will remain as levied but the
assessments against Lots 14, 15, 16,
and 17, will be reduced to $34.00
each and the, balance of the assess-
ments cancelled. This is about fifty
per cent of the original assessment
and I believe is entirely adequate
considering the valuation of the lots.
In Re Adair Street Sewer
The Voelker Realty Company is
the o�cner of Lot 17. in Pinehurst
Addition which has been assessed
for $78.40, for the Adair Street
sewer. The actual value of this lot
is $360 and no reduction in this as-
sessment is recommended.
Chris A. Voelkc,r et al are the
owners of Lots 22. 2:3, 24, 25, 29, 30,
31, 32, and 39, R'oodlawn Park Addi-
tion and Lots 42, 43, 44. 45. 46, .17,
and 4S, and 49, in Rosedale Addition,
which lots have been assessed for
the construction of the sewer in
Adair Street. The valuation of these
lots range from $40.00 to $100.00 and
the assessments against the same
range from $72.11 to $92.49. The lots
are of little value and the prospect
of development for many years is
very uncertain. The reductions
agreed upon are as follows:
Lot 22, Woodlawn Park Addition,
from $7S.40 to $12.50.
Lot 23. Woodlawn I'ark addition,
from $78.40 to $12.50.
Lot 24, Woodlawn Park Addition,
from $75.40 to $12.50.
Lot 25, IVoodlawn Park Addition.
from $78.40 to $12.50.

Lot 43, Rosedale Addition, from
$75.40 to $12.50.
Lot 44, Rosedale Addition. front
$87.79 to $12.50.
In Re Oak Street Server.
The Voelker Realty Company is
the owner of Lot One (1) of Bush's
-Regular Session, .February 2nd, 1931 25
Sub. which was assessed in the sum
of $89.71 for the sewer in Oak Street.
This lot is being sold under contract
and I find that the purchaser has
Paid two installments on this assess-
ment and thereby waived any objec-
tion to the amount of the assess-
ment. Therefore no reduction in
this assessment is recommended.
If the Council approves of these
adjustments I would recommend
that the Treasurer surrender the tax
sale certificates which the City holds
on these lots upon the payment of
the amounts herein stated. The own-
ers of the lots agree to dismiss their
suits and pay the costs.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the report be approved and the
Treasurer be instructed to surren-
der the certificates upon payments
of the amounts. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Andelfinger. Carried by the

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: There has been pend-
ing in the District Court of Dubuque
County, Iowa, a suit by the Jas. F.
Lee Paving Company against the
City, involving somethin} like Four
Thousand Dollars ($4,000) in claims
for work done under a, number of
contracts. This matter has received
your attention for quite a long ttme
and I have given it considerable con-
sideration.
The City had a bill against the
Jas. F. Lee Paving Company for
damage claimed to have been done
to an electric cable at the time Cen-
tral Avenue was under construction.
I have gone into that matter very
thoroughly and have taken it into
consideration in proposing a settle-
ment with the Jas. F. Lee Paving
Company.
Recently I offered Mr. Lee of that
Company the sum of $1,900 in full
settlement of all claims involved in
said law suit and of all claims for
damages to cable held by the City
against said Company. Mr. I.ee has
accepted the offer and has agreed to
dismiss his case and pay the costs.
I believe this is a satisfactory ad-
justment of this controversy and
therefore recommend that a warrant
be drawn in favor of the Jas. F. Lee
Paving Company in the sum of
$1,900.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK;
City Solicitor.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the report and recommendation of
the City Solicitor be approved and
the Auditor be instructed to draw a
warrant in the amount of $1,900.00 in

Company, settlemen in full of all
claims involved in the law suit. Sec-
onded by Council Andelfinger. Car-

To the Honorable Mayor and Court -
ell of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At the present term

vs. City of Dubuque was called for
trial. This was an action for p(�r-
sonal injuries sustained by the
Plaintiff by falling upon an icy side-
walk and suit was brought for Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000). When
the case was reached for trial I of-
fered $100 and the payment of the
costs as a settlement. The offer was
accepted and, in order not to delay
the settlement. I advised the Treas-
urer to issue a warrant, in the sum
of $100 in favor of Walter Koerner.
Attorney for the Plaintiff, to cover
the settlement. The Treasurer has
issued a warrant and the amount is
paid and I request that the settle-
ment he approved.
ThP costs amount to $12.20, and
kindly have a warrant drawn in
favor of R. P. Marshall, Clerk of the
I'iistriet Court, for that amount.
Respectfully submitted.

Resolution No. 21-31.
Whereas, various bills now pend-
ing before both branches of the
Forty-fourth General Assembly of
Iowa provide for the assessment of
real estate by County Assessors un-
der direction of the State Board of
Assessment and Review and for var-
ious forms of new taxation the pro-
ceeds of which are to go wholly into
the treasury of the State and are to
be employed for general State pur-
poses as the Legislature may direct,
the pending bills not requiring that
any portion of the taxes to be col-
lected from new sources shall be ex-
pended in or for the benefit of the
communities providing them.
Therefore, Be it Resolved, that in
the opinion of the City Council of
the City of Dubuque, justice and the
principles of representative govern-
ment require that original jurisdic-
tion of assessments for general prop-
erty tax purposes should remain
with the jurisdiction in which the
taxable property has its situs in all
cases in which the complete unit to
be taxed is found within a single
local jurisdiction.
It is furthermore the opinion of
this Council that the tax burdens
now borne by real estate in the mu-
nicipalities of Iowa cannot be light-
ened by State taxes on individual or
corporation income or other new
forms of taxation in the proceeds of
i2 Special Session, February 16th, 1931
which these municipalities are to
have no share.
Be it further resolved that this
Council go on record as opposed to
any tax measures proposed for adop-
tion by the Legislature of this State
which divests municipalities of the
free exercise of taxing powers, or
interfere with such exercise, or pro-
vides that taxes collected in munici-
palities be paid into the State Treas-
ury instead of into the treasury of
the municipalities that exact them.
The City Clerk is hereby directed
to forward copies of this Resolution
to Dubuque County's Representatives
in the Forty-fourth General Assem-
bly of Iowa and the Chairmen of the
appropriate committees of Senate
and House.
Passed, adopted, and approved this
16th day of February, 1931.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, .Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Complaint has been
filed in regard to the dangerous con-
dition of, West 28th Street westward-
ly from Central Avenue. Upon inves-
tigation it is found that just west
of Central Ayenue, 28th Street is
badly rut tg .4.&has been made im-
passable by reason of an open ditch
carrying water from Park Hill above
Central Avenue.
It is recommended that authority
be granted to the Street Department
to inistall approximately 200 feet of
20;inch vitrified tile in the present
open ditch and that the ditch be
filled in order to make a greater
width of street accessible for high-
way traffic. In the accomplishment
of this improvement it would be the
intention to use the present stone
curb from Central Avenue along the
south edge of the street and near the
present water course to provide fill-
ing in order not to encroach on the
property immediately south of West
28th Street. A concrete inlet will
have to be provided at the upper end
of the new 20 -inch tile drain. The
cost of this improvement can be
charged to the Sewer Bond Fund.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

March 2, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Mr. C. E. Winner, 921
Gilliam Street, requests that the
Council consider the furnishing and
installing of about 80 feet of 30 -inch
vitrified sewer pipe to complete
across his lot a discharge from the
storm sewer system of the Mineral
Street district. This storm sewer
provides an outlet for a considerable
area and includes the draining of
lateral sewer from the swimming
pool at the University of Dubuque.
During such time as this pool is
emptied the water from the storm
sewer flows over a portion of Mr.
Winner's lot to such a degree as to
be a nuisance to him. The reason
that this has become a nuisance is
due to the fact that the storm sew-
ers drain to this discharge, while
previously they had been allowed to
run through open ditches to the
same point of discharge.
It is recommended that this im-
Regular Session, March 2nd, 1931 51
provement be authorized and that
'the cost of same be .charged to the
Storm Sewer Fund.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS;
City Manager.
Councilman Jansen moved that the
recommendation of the City Manager
be approved. Seconded by Council-
man Schuckert. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:

March 11, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attention was called
yesterday to the failure of a retain-
ing wall along the east side of
Thomas Street at the projection of
Humboldt Street. The wall that
failed is approximately fifty feet in
length and varies from eight to ten
feet from the top of the wall to the
ground level at the lower side. The
failure occurred partially at the lot
owned by Louis Oberhoffer at 911
High Bluff Street, and Charles Min-
er, his neighbor on the south.
Yesterday it was believed that the
question of whether or not the City
was liable could remain until Coun-
cil decision March 23rd. Today it is
apparent that a hazard exists, both
on the properties of the above men-
tioned owners, and by reason of the
fact that Thomas Street might slide
in on these properties, endangering
the lives of pedestrians and also au-
tomobile traffic.
The writer has also discussed this
with one or two Councilmen infor-
mally and with the City Solicitor,
and this is to advise that steps were
taken today noon to tear out the
badly bowed stone wall and install
an adequate concrete wall along the
easterly line of said Thomas Street.
I ask for your authority and approv-
al in this connection, which was
deemed an emergency case.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the action of the City Manager be
approved. Seconded by Councilman
McEvoy. Carried by the following
vote:

Trausch Baking Company that he
had been tentatively selected to
serve on the Playground and Recrea-
tion Commission, please be advised
that Mr. Clemens was interviewed
March 9th and states that he will be
pleased to serve on said commission.
It is suggested that this appoint-
ment be ratified immediately.

pointed to fill the vacancies on the
Playground Commission for the un-
expired terms ending July 10th, 1931.

Heating and Plumbing
This is to advise that upon the
approval of plans and specifications
for the heating and plumbing of the
garage addition, that Council approv-
ed an American Radiator Works
Boiler. At the suggestion of the
Kretschmer-Tredway Company addi-
tional alternate bids were permitted
by the architect and prices were re-
ceived this morning. Inasmuch as
not all of the bidders bid on alter-
nates, it is suggested that the base
bid only be considered or else all
heating and plumbing bids be re-
jected and the heating and plumbing
be readvertised. The bids on heat-
ing and plumbing are as follows:
*Nesler & Buechel=Base bid, $5,-
6$5.00; less amount for substitution
of a Weil -McClain Oil Burner,
$335.00; less amount for substitution
of the Trane System, $717.00.
Linehan & Molo—Base bid, $5,-
197.00; less amount for substitution
of a Weil -McClain Oil Burner,
; less amount for substitu-
tion of the Trane System,
**Curtis & Straub --•Base bid, $5,-
395; less amount for substitution of
a Weil -McClain Oil Burner, $300.00;
less amount for substitution of the
Trane System, $650.00.
Mullen Bros.—Base bid; $5,594.00;
less amount for substitution of a
Weil -McClain Oil Burner,
less amount for substitution of the
Trane System,
H. B. McCarten—Base bid, $5,-
455.00; less amount for substitution
of a Weil -McClain Oil Burner,
less amount for substitu-
tion of the Trane System,
Maurice Hill—Base bil, $5,911.22;
les amount for substitution of a
Weil -McClain Oil Burner, $312.00;
less amount for substitution of the
Trane System, $715.00.
*Bid of Nesler & Buechel was ir-
regular as certified check did not
cover 10`yo of base bid.
**Bid of Curtis & Straub was ir-
regular as the check was submitted
Special Session, March 23rd, 1931 73
for approximately 5% of the bid,
whereas 10°/o was required.
It would appear that by readver-
tising a saving could be affected of
from $500.00 to $1,000.00 by changing
the specifications to include another
type of boiler and the Trane System
of piping.

rPntlemen: Attention of the City
EnWilear was directed yesterday to
a chameea in curb grade during the
construction of a new sidewalk on
7th fitrPet faring the newer Roshek
addition between Locust Street and
he alley west of Main Street.
Upon investigation yesterday and
today the fact is established that the
C
ontractor has changed the grade of
the curb between the alley and Lo-
cust Street in such a way that there
is now an 18 -inch step from the top
of the sidewalk at the curb down to
the gutter grade. From this point of
maximum distance from gutter line
to curb grade the walk is so sloped
that the established curb grade is
met at the intersection of Locust
Street and at the alley.
Today a letter has been sent to
Mr. Roshek and a copy to the archi-
tect advising that this walk is con-
trary to the established curb grade
and is condemned by the City Engi-
neer. The reason for the non -appro-
val of this walk is due wholly to the
action of the contractor in rebuilding
the curb to a grade not in conformity
with the Council Ordinance for the
establishment of the 7th Street curb.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVAN.S,

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Complaint has been
made of the inadequacy of the pres-
ent 100 C. P. lamp on Perry Street
at an agle west of Grandview Ave-
nue. This light serves five houses
and it is the City Manager's recom-
gg Special Session, March 30th, 1931 _
mendation that authorization be giv-
en to install in place of this 100 C. P.
lamp a 250 C. P. lamp.
Complain has also been made on
Shiras Street of very poor lighting
facilities. In order to afford proper
protection between Lincoln Avenue
and the entrance to the park it is my
recommendation that two new 400 C.
P. lamps be installed and that from
a section west of the park entrance
to the City line two new additional
400 C. P. lamps be installed. In this
last section there is a gap of approx-
imately 2,000 feet between lamps.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Manager be approved. Seconded by

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Report on Edward O'Rourke's Sewer
Complaint
Gentlemen: In connection with the
Edward O'Rourke sewer complaint
at 365 West Locust street, which was
presented to the City Council March
23rd and referred to the writer for
investigation, please be advised as
follows:
Mr. Connie Sullivan has known for
some time that the sanitary sewer of
12 -inch diameter terra cotta between
16th and 17th Streets, has been slug-
gish at certain times, but the sewer
has worked without inconvenience to
abutting property owners after the
usual maintenance each year.
To the best of our knowledge, in
the afternoon of November 21, 1930,
Mr. John O'Rourke advised me at the
City Hall that Mr. Edward O'Rourke
at 365 West Locust Street was hav-
ing trouble with the sanitary sewer
system. Mr. Sullivan was advised to
investigate this condition and it was
ascertained Saturday, November
22nd, and by further investigation
Monday, November 24th, that the
main sewer in front of this residence
on West Locust Street was not
clogged, but we found a few roots in
the same. Whereas, Mr. O'Rourke
states that two loads of roots and
sand were removed from this sewer,
it is known definitely by the City
employes that not over one bushel
of roots was taken from the section
in front of the O'Rourke residence.
No sand existed in the main sewer at
the time of the trouble.
By exact measurement we found
that the small number of roots that
we found were located in the sewer
to the north and up -grade from the
O'Rourke connection. The existence
of the roots was at a spot of from 25
to 50 feet up -grade from this loca-
tion. We admit that upon the dig-
ging up of the sewer connection at
the main there were roots also of
small size in the main sewer at the
connection, but not to such an ex-
tent that would cause any stoppage.
We have rodded and scraped this
sewer this week and were able to get
a 9 -inch cutter through the block on
West Locust from 16th to 17 Streets.
It is believed that the elm tree on
the O'Rourke parking between the
sidewalk and curb may be partly re-
sponsible for the root trouble at this
location.
The O'Rourke sewer lateral con-
sists of two lengths of terra cotta
six-inch pipe adjacent to the sewer
Y and from this location about 5 feet
from the main the balance of the
lateral sewer is 6 -inch cast iron soil
pipe.
As to the recommendation as to
whether or not the City should as-
sume the entire bill of $87.55 which
Mr. O'Rourke claims is entirely the
City's fault, we raise the point that
had the owner notified the City that
sewer trouble existed at this location,
we could have rodded and cut the
few roots above the O'Rourke con-
nection at a probable cost of from
$10.00 to $15.00.
We do not understand why this
stoppage occurred at the O'Rourke
property as practically no roots were
found below the connection. No
other houses were flooded by sewage
backing up from this sewer either
up -grade or down -grade from the
O'Rourke connection.
Inasmuch as no serious trouble in
the sanitary main sewer was found
and the evidence of the slight trou-
ble at the O'Rourke connection was
of such minor nature that it was im-
possible to determine whether the
roots had grown from the lateral
sewer into the main sewer or vice
versa, it would seem reasonable that
the City should not assume more
than a portion of this bill, if any.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the matter be referred to the City
Manager with power. Seconded by

City Manager Evans reported on
the drainage of the hill in the rear
of the Holy Ghost Church, which
drains across the sidewalk over a
private driveway owned jointly by
the church and Mr. Woller on Cen-
tral Avenue. He states that the nuis.
ance can be removed by construct-
ing a 15 -inch storm sewer from the
ditch in the rear at the foot of the
hill across church property, with
permission of the church authorities,
to the existing storm sewer in 30th
Street, a distance of 345 feet. The
estimated cost of said sewer amounts
to $445.00 as itemized on attached
sketch. This method will eliminate
the storm water nuisance and is
cheaper than a new adequate storm
sewer run under paving of Central
Avenue from the present driveway
drain to 29th Street.
Councilman Jansen moved that
the report be approved and the
sewer be constructed under the

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the letter of C. Witter of 1433 Wash-
ington Street, dated April 21, 1931,
addressed to the Council and re-
ferred to the City Manager, please
be advised that upon investigation
we find that the garage anticipated
to have been erected about March
28, 1928, by Mr. Witter was never
built. We have checked the records
of the City Auditor and find that he
had been paid at the time of the
request of permit, but the request
for return of the same had never
been granted.
Inasmuch as the building was not
constructed, it is the writer's recom-
mendation that the $3.00 be return-
ed to Mr. Witter.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

herewith attached the original appli-
cation which facts have been veri-

Mr. Elliott has been examined by
Dr. Painter through arrangements

him.

which settlement was made in the

the $5,000.00 was lost in a grocery

May 18, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In accordance with
your instructions and our advertise-
ment, bids were received at 10:00
A. M. Friday, May 15, 1931, for the
installation of Boulevard Lights on
Iowa Street from West Fourth
Street to West Fourteenth Street. I
am attaching hereto a tabulation
sheet on same.
In connection with the bid of Geo.
S. Schugmann of Abingdon, Illinois,
we noted at the letting that the bid
was somewhat irregular. The unit
price of the 57 lamps was not re-
corded, but a total for the 57 lamps
was shown, namely $10,950.00. On
the column in which it was asked
that a unit price per foot -for cable
be named, Mr. Schugmann inserted
$25.00, which he explained verbally
was his total price for 50 lin. ft.
The extra lamp as requested, price
on the total was listed as $125.00.
However, in the column designated
"Total amount of bid," the above
mentioned total for the 57 lamps,
namely $10,950.00, was again writ-
ten on the proposal.
Furthermore, the certified check
was attached to the bid in the same
envelope, whereas the Iowa laws
require that certified check be
separate.
The bid of Mr. Schugmann is the
lowest bid, but pending the advice
of the City Solicitor to the City
Council Monday night, May 18th,
the writer hesitates on the recom-
mendation.
Further analyzing the bids on
boulevard lights we find that the
Keller Electric Company has attach-
ed a blue print of presumably the
Icing type of post which varies from
the specifications submitted by the
Engineer in the following respects:
1. Height from ground to center
of light, City specifications 13'
91/2", King post 14' 2%11. Ad-
ditional height of post as bid is
5".
2. The shape of the base in the
King post is octagonal, where-
as the type adopted by Council
and as noted in the Engineer's
specifications was circular.
3. The door of the base is slight-
ly less than specied dimensions.
4. The weight as required by the
Engineer was approximately 600
lbs., whereas the post bid on
by Mr. Keller weighs 529 lbs.
In discussing these gKelions statesth
the bidder today, r
that in his opinion the details of
the type submitted by him are su-
)erior to the City Engineer's specif-
cations. However, for the purpose
if complying with the strict uni-
ormity, he agrees to furnish the 57
)oats as required all in exact con-
brmity to details, measurements,
weights, design, and finish as shown
)n the Engineer's specifications. He
°urther contends that he could have
lone this originally, but felt that his
dost was a superior product inas-
much as it was a stock standard
:ype that is made for a number of
2ities.
Respectfully submitted,

May 13, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the request of May 11th of Mr. W.
Brunaugh to sell doughnuts in the
City of Dubuque without paying the
usual license fee, please be advised
that the request was referred to the
City Manager for investigation.
I attach hereto the original posi-
tion and wish to add that Mr. Bru-
naugh is 36 years old, was born and
has lived in Dubuque his entire life
with the exception of a few months
Prior to the beginning of the World
War, at which time he was located
in Manchester. The applicant has
Presented discharge papers from the
United States army, No. 2,164,239,
dated June 15, 1919.
The request is in conflict with Or-
dinance No. 153 of 1924, Section 3,
which reads: "No other food ar-
ticles except fruit, vegetables, farm
products, poultry, eggs, and wrapped
butter shall be sold from house to
house." The request is also in vio-
lation of Ordinance No. 62 of the
January 3, 1920, Modified Ordinances
which requires a $50.00 a year per-
mit. However, from Paragraph 466
of the same Ordinance No. 62 Coun-
cil may, under certain necessary
conditions, relieve ex -soldiers from
the payment of the usual fee.
The applicant is the father of five
children and has had no work for
some time. If it is permissable and
legal to grant this application, the
writer would recommend the same,
but that he be not allowed to sell
doughnuts in the City open market
as it will establish a precedent that
has been very hard to control and
will practically upset the present
market regulations.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

fer the communication of the City

May 16, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: From numerous re-
quests the writer would recommend
the installation of a new 400 C. P.
overhead street lamp near the inter-
section of Fourteenth, Algona and
Custer Streets. This location is near
the top of Fourteenth Street hill
and is a very dark intersection at
Fourteenth and Algona, to say noth-
ing of the Custer Street intersection
off Algona Street about 75 feet
south of Fourteenth Street. I be-
lieve one light, however, will be
sufficient for the inadequate illumin-
ation at present.
We have also investigated a com-
plaint of inadequate street lights at
the jog in Washington at Twenty-
sixth Street. We would respectfully
recommend the Council to authorize
the installation of a new 400 C. P.
light at Washington and Twenty-
sixth Streets.
Respectfully submited,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

."Ity closing up a cellar entrance
to the building on Lot 10 on Kniest
Street, please be advised as fol-
lows.
At an informal meeting December

agent:
"(1) The City will remove the
concrete sidewalk around the form-
er stone steps
(2) The City will remove the dirt
cr sand that is placed in the cellar.

(3) The City will remove the brick
work leading from this opening from
mdewalk into the basement.
(4) The City will remove the pen-
alty on the original assessment, but
must secure the original assessment
,plus 5%„ interest from date of pass-
age.
Regular Session, June 1st, 1931 165
The City will also exempt from
the original assessment that portion
of the sidewalk torn out in the side-
walk cellar opening
The Rhomberg Estate shall, after

ment plus the 5% and the owner
will furnish a suitable and accept-
able covering over the sidewalk
opening."

sition on December 30th and the

talling $164.74, less the area of the
actual opening into the sidewalk at
the cellar entrance, namely 44 It.

cipal of $158.46. Interest is to be

$144.46 and by tax certificate No.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The petition of R. S.
Boyes dated May 18th, referred by
City Council to the writer on May
18th for report concerning Mr.
Boyes' desire to secure a permit
without paying the usual fee to en-
174 Special Session, June 8th, 1931
'er into the junk business, is here-
with attached.
For your information, Mr. Boyes
has presented his discharge papers
from the United States army in 1919.
Mr. Boyes enlisted in service from
Dyersville. He is married, with no
other dependents except his wife.
M:. Boyes is not disabled, but wants
to enter the junk business until labor
work increases. He has worked at
'he Milwaukee Sho»s as a common
laborer for a number of years.
By Ordinance No 46-A, adopted
May 21, 1921, the permit fee for one
Truck engaged in junk collection is
$25.00 per year.
It is the writer's recommendation
that inasmuch as the applicant al.
ready has a truck that could be used
for other than junk work and that
the numerous street improvement
!obs and other work has increased
since the application was received,
that at least the consideration to.
ward granting this application be de-
ferred. This is in line with the peti-
tion from numerous junk dealers
who are already engaged in this
class of business to relieve the pres-
ent junk dealers from the annual
license fees by reason of there be-
ing so little business in which com-
petition exists. I do not believe that
Mr. Boyes would derive special bene-
fit even though the City waived the
annual license fee.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman McEvoy moved that
the report of the City Manager be
approved and the permit be not
granted. Seconded by Councilman
Schuckert. Carried by the following

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Mr. J. A. Clark, treas-
urer of Dubuque County, made re-
quest yesterday that the City Coun-
c.l authorize the purchase of a set
of printed 'forms for the City of
Dubuque special assessment receipts.
He estimates that tae year's supply
will cost from $75.00 to $100.00.
In discussing with him as to why
the City should spend money for
County forms, he advised that on
certain other occasions this expense
nad been split between the County
and City. Last year the City did
not pay anything toward this item.
It seems that the Code does not
specify as to whether the County or
City should stand this expense. Dis-
cussing this question with the State
Examiners, they advise that it is op-
tional and net mandatory on the
part of the Council to authorize this
expenditure. I present this question
to you for your decision.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman JanseL moved that the
;ietition be received and filed. Sec-
onded by Councilman McEvoy. Car-
ried by the following vote:

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The request of Chas.
P. Mettel of fie Metlel Land and Se-
curity Company of .Tune 6th referred
by City Council to the City Engineer
,4nd the writer for report concerning
the location of some 4 x 4 posts set
adjacent to the sidewalk on the pro-
perty at 14th and Jackson Streets
is as follows.
We find that the 4 x 4 posts are
set as close to the inside of the con-
crete sidewalk as is possible. The
rear or inside edge of the sidewalk
-n Jackson Street iR about 2 ft. 8 in.
from the property line and on 14th
Street the sidewalk is about 3 feet
frem the property line. Accordingly
Ile curb aide of the posts is on City
property or the sidewalk space on
Special Session, June 15th, 1931
the two streets between 2 to 3 feet.

tute an obstruction at least to the

To the Honorable Mayor and City

Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On July 2nd our at-
tention was called to the condition
of the bridge across Catfish Creek on
the North Cascade Road southwest
from Wartburg Seminary. At this
time certain repairs were made to
the guard rail of the bridge.
Today, with the Street Superin-
tendent, the writer made an investi-
gation of the entire bridge and found
it to be in such poor condition that
warning signs have been placed this
afternoon at either end of the bridge
warning vehicular traffic of the weak
and unsafe condition of the bridge
and limiting the total gross weight
to two tons.
The columns in this bridge are of
crude and antiquated design, having
become decayed and are absolutely
unsafe at present. We did not have
a chance to examine all the tim-
bers in the bridge, but find that int.
mediate attention should be directed.
I ask for your authority to rebuild
this bridge.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Jansen moved that the
City Manager be authorized to repair
the bridge as requested. Seconded
by Councilman McEvoy. Carried by

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the Alois Hoffman case that was
referred to the City Engineer and
the writer for investigation and re-
port to the City Council concerning
the action of the •City in 1925 in
paving over, and since then using, a
portion of the front of a certain pro-
perty formerly owned by George
Beach on Grandview Avenue, for
Special Session, July 20th, 1931 209
Street purposes, south of the Mt.
Carmel Road, please be advised as
follows.
The area used for street purposes
and a five (5) foot sidewalk toward
the east of the curb includes ap-
proximately 875 square feet, the
width appropriated along Grandview
Avenue is approximately seventy
(70) feet, the widest portion in the
middle of the circle is seventeen
(17) feet.
Your officials have had several
meetings with Mr. Hoffman and to-
day he has given his lowest and
final price for this portion of his lot,
which has been used for street pur-
poses since 1925, as Five Hundred
Dollars ($500.00). This represents
a per foot price of fifty-seven cents
(57c). Mr. Hoffman advises that in-
asmuch as no appropriation has been
set up for this purchase in this year's
budget he will be willing to have
Council approve the purchase of this
particular area on condition that it
be paid within approximately six
months to date.
Yours very truly,
R. M. FJVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman McEvoy moved that
the proposition of Mr. Alois Hoffman
be accepted, the City to pay $500.00
for this strip of ground, payment to
be made April 1st, 1932, without in-
terest. Seconded by Councilman
Schuckert. Carried by the follow-
ing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Meuser, Councilmen
Andelfinger, Jansen, McEvoy, and
Schuckert.
Nays—None.
July 10, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen : Attached is a peti-
tion received last week requesting
a new street light to be installed at
the intersection of 11th and Wash-
ington Streets.
The writer has investigated this
and finds that at this one intersec-
tion no light exists. All four corners
are occupied by buildings or dwell-
ings and due to the fact that freight
cars are allowed to stand along a
southeasterly direction from this in-
tersection, I would recommend, es-
pecially for the safety of women and
children, the installation of a new
400 C. p. street light.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved. Seconded by
Councilman Jansen. Carried by the
following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Meuser, Councilmen
Andelfinger, Jansen, McEvoy, and
Schuckert.
Nays—None.
July 10, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Today Mr. Thomas
Stampfer, representing the Security
Bldg. Co., at the corner of Main and
Eighth Streets, has made formal ap-
plication to the Building Commis-
sioner and the City Engineer for
permission to rebuild a sidewalk
space next to his building on Eighth
Street. We have at hand a set of
detailed plans showing all proposed
arrangements which include a new
reinforced concrete sidewalk to re-
place the present existing sidewalk
on Eighth Street and also a possible
new walk on Main Street, The pro-
posed construction below the side-
walk level is so designed that if
either Eighth or Main Streets are
widened two feet, no change will
have to be made in the construction
of the walk.
Mr. Stampfer has also requested
that permission be granted to him
by the City for a certain modifica-
tion on Eighth Street to the present
show window ledge on the south ele-
vation of this building which extends
out over the sidewalk space for about
two feet. The desire on the part
of the owner is to construct a bulk-
head from the top of the concrete
sidewalk slab up to the floor of the
show window. The purpose of this
is to brace and further make stable
the weak and unsafe condition and
to improve the appearance of the
show windows that extend out over
the sidewalk space. As we under-
stand it, the line of the bulkhead will
be the line of the present show
window.
The Security Bldg. Co. were grant-
ed the right to locate the show win-
dows on the sidewalk space approx-
imately twenty-five years ago for an
indefinite period. We bring this
question to your attention in the be-
half that only the Council can grant
modification or changes in construc-
tion of a building occupying a por-
tion of the public street.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelflnger moved

Building Company be granted sub-

matter is brought to your attention
for decision at this meeting as to
whether or not any repairs are to be
made this year or as to whether you

pared for a proper fireproof vault in
the basement of the City Hall or as
to whether the painting and brick-
ing up of certain windows on the
first floor is to be considered prior
to the vault.

curb break on Algona Street, please

July 23, 1931
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: This is to advise that
Miss Louise Pitchner, of 2285 Delhi
Street, Dubuque, has today appealed,
through the City Manager to the
City Council for relief toward a cer-
tain water leak in her home on Delhi
Street.
Miss Pitchner states that in the
early Spring of this year an inspect-
or from the Water Department look-
ed over the water meter in her base-
ment and that after his test, for
some unknown reason, water was
noticed to accumulate in her base-
ment. The owner notified the Water
Department and after an investiga-
tion. Mr. John McEvoy advised by
letter, June 3rd, that he believed the
water was coming from a water leak
in the service line somewhere from
the street to the house and was fol-
lowing the water pipe through the
wall into the cellar. He advised that
in this connection it was up to the
property owner to assume the cost
of the necessary repairs.
Accordingly Miss Pitchner had
Chas. Pape & Son, local plumbers,
remove and repair the service line
from the curb into the building. The
total cost of the plumbing work was
$16.05 and excavation $10.00 addi-
tional. While the water line was dug
up at or near the curb, a small leak
was discovered and repaired and the
plumber noticed that a considerable
volume of water entered his ditch
from a storm sewer in the street
near the curb line. The City Sewer
Department was notified and made
repairs to the storm sewer. These
repairs caused the water to stop run-
ning into the owner's teller and it
was deduced by the owner that her
trouble was not from a leaking wa-
ter pipe, but largely from a leaking
storm sewer, the water from which
followed the water line into the
basement.
The total cost to Miss Pitchner for
the repairs was $26.05. She asks the
City to assume $10.00 of this cost by
reason of the cost of the leak in the
storm sewer. The City was saved
the investigation and excavation of
this leaking sewer by reason of the
plumber's ditch being open.
Mr. Connie Sullivan advises that
the storm sewer pipe was not bro-
ken and that the bell of the joint
that was discovered leaking was not
broken, but the cement had loosen-
ed to such an extent that a small
leak was caused at times when the
owner of a garage up the street was
washing cars.
It is the writer's belief that the
water from the storm sewer may
have followed the service line, but
it is impossible to advise after inves-
tigation that it was storm sewer wa-
ter that caused the trouble.
We present this matter to you for
your decision.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman McEvoy moved that
the prayer of the petition be grant-
ed and a warrant be drawn on the
sewer fund in the sum of $10.00 in
favor of Louise Pitschner. Seconded
by Councilman Schuckert. Carried
by the following vote:

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Along the eastern side
of Valley Street, approximately 600
feet north of Southern Avenue,there
is in existence today a stone culvert,
which culvert is approximately 5
feet square and the flow south of
which is about 15 feet below the
ground level. On the upstream side
of this culvert the drain raises ap-
proximately 10 feet in 100 feet.
The residents on Valley Street
have repeatedly suggested that the
culvert be extended by means of
pipe upstream approximately 100
feet and that the dangerous hole
now at the side of Valley Street be
filled in after the pipe has been
placed. Investigation discloses the
fact that the mouth of the culvert
offers a hazard to children who live
in this vicinity.
We would recommend approval
from Council to utilize a few sec-
tions of 48 -inch corrugated pipe now
in our possession at the Street De-
partment yard and eliminate this
hazard.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman McEvoy moved that
the recommendation be approved

"Regarding sewers in alleys be -

Jansen, McEvoy, Schuckert.
250 Special Session, August 17th, 1931
the City Engineer advises that no
main sewers exist in any of the
sites proposed. If there be sewers
in the alleys, the same are lateral
sewers only and supply the build
Ings erected at this time on either
side of said alley. These sewers
can be eliminated."
Mr. J. Ryan, the surveyor for the
Government Post Office site, asked a
question today as to whether or not
the City had made any plans to re-
move the sanitary sewer in the al-
ley between Bluff and Locust Streets
from Sixth Street to the southern
end of the Government Property,
namely 183% feet from the property
line of Sixth Street.
The thought has occurred to the
writer that if a diversion of sewage
has to be made at this point, that
the necessary connection from the
alley between Bluff and Locust
Streets by way of Sixth Street to
the alley between Main and Locust
Streets, should be made prior to the
resurfacing of Locust Street.
In discussing same with the City
Solicitor prior to the letter of De-
cember 17th, it was not clear in our
mind as to the assessment of cost on
the proposed diversion of sewer. It
might be that the City cannot as-
sume this sewer and in this case I
would suggest that we build the
same with our own forces at a very
early date in order not to interfere
with the resurfacing of Locust
Street.

July 24, 1931.
Mr. Alois Hoffmann,
1497 Central Avenue,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Sir: This is to advise that
at the meeting of the City Council
of Dubuque held July 20th the report
on negotiations between yourself, the
City Engineer and the City Manager
of the City of Dubuque was present-
ed to the Council.
Council has agreed to pay to you
the sum of $500.00 Tor the portion
of Grandview Avenue used as a
street with the additional reserva-
tion of five feet outside the curb for
future sidewalk purposes, providing
you will issue a deed to the City for
this property and that you will agree
to wait until approximately April 1,
1932, for the payment of the $500.UU.
If this is in line with your under-
standing and is acceptable to you,
kindly advise.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Below is a list of em-
ployees of the City Street Depart-
ment and City Garage. The writer
recommends that the monthly rate
of compensation be eliminated and
that an hourly rate be established,
as indicated, to certain employees,
for the following reasons: -
1. Balance of Street Department dri-
vers, roller operators and labor
are paid at hourly rates.
2. Monthly men have been paid in
the past for two weeks vacation,
making it unfair to hourly men
doing same work, who do not re-
ceive a vacation.
3. In times of storm and extra work
it is easier to work hourly men
overtime than monthly men. It is
my intention this winter to work
snow removal straight through, if
necessary.
4. For purpose of providing as much
employment to local, needy, mar-
ried men this fall and winter, I
propose to work most of the street
labor four (4) days, or less, per
week and on an eight (8) hour
basis.

To the Honorable Mayor and City

Gentlemen: This is to advise that
on November 13, 1930, a new 250
C. P. street light was installed, after
having received Council's authority
about ten days prior to said date,
on Langworthy Avenue midway be.
tween Hill and James Streets.
During the period of installation
and every few weeks since then so
many objections and complaints have
arisen from the operation of the lamp
and finally today Dr. V. A. McGuig-
an, 990 Langworthy Avenue, requests
that the lamp be removed. The com-
plaints have included the following:
That the light attracts a great many
children from other sections of the
block; that the noise of playing
children is intolerable; that the light
interferes with rest in the bedrooms
adjacent thereto; that the lamp at-
tracts bugs that formerly were not
objectionable and that the lamp is
not needed as there are practically
no large trees in the block.
Accordingly the writer would rec-
ommend the removal of said lamp.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The request of Mr.
S. F. Corken of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Railroad Company,
dated August 7th, was referred by
City Council to the writer on August
17th for a report and recommenda-
tion concerning the requested new
1
light at the Third Street railroad
crossing.
Please be advised that the closest
lights to Third Street are those ori
the double standard post erected at
the northwest corner of Central and
Third and a light on a pole about
ninety feet west of the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy Railroad freight
station. The space between these
two lights is approximately 500 feet.
There is an angle in Third Street
near the middle of the railroad
tracks which prevents the light shin-
ing from either direction if cars are
on the sidings. This offset is ap-
proximately 50 feet.
The writer would recommend the
Installation of a new 400 C. P. street
light on the pole at the angle in the
street about the middle of this exist-
ing darkened space. 1 find that
there are ten tracks here that are
unprotected to a considerable amount
of traffic at certain hours of the
evening.

R. M. EVANS,

September 3, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The further question
of widening 12th Street from Locust
to Bluff Streets was referred to the
City Engineer and the City Manager
August 31, 1931.
Upon examination of the trees on
the present parking, we find that 1"t
will be impossible to widen this
street on either side and still main.
tain the trees. It is recommended
that four and one-half feet be the
width widened on each side in order
to save one tree on the south side
and two trees on the north side.
The City Engineer and the Man-
272 Postponed Re
Session, September 8th, 1931
ager met with Rev. Badger and Mr.
Albert Anderson of St. Mark's Luth-
eran Church September 3rd. We
were advised that a congregational
meeting had been called for Sep-
tember 13th, at which time the wid-
ening of 12th Street will be discussed.
We were advised that the church
council has already met on this ques-
tion and determined that they will
not sign any waivers for the widen-
ing and paving of their half of the
street. They felt that if waivers
were signed and the two properties
north of the church property were
assessed for a certain portion of the
paving and they refused to sign
waivers, the entire cost of the north
side would then be assessed to the
church.
Mr. Braun made request today that
if the legal requirements of the pro-
posed widening would prevent the
actual construction this Fall, prior
to freezing weather, that the con-
sent of the City Council would then
be requested to permit the Masons,
at their own expense, to widen and
pave, by some contractor satisfactory
to the .City, the proposed portion of
the south side of the street.
Another question that has arisen In
the construction of a new sidewalk
along the north side of the Masonic
Temple between Bluff and Locust
Streets is that request is hereby
made that Council authorize the
eight foot sidewalk to be laid adja-
cent to the curb, allowing the three
foot parking space to exist next to
property line.
The conclusion is that the waivers
on the street cannot be secured and
that the paving of at least the north-
erly half can be completed only 'by
due recourse to the legal method of
assessments.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the City Manager and Engineer pre-
pare plans and specifications for the
widening of 12th Street from Locust
to Bluff Streets. Seconded by Coun-
cilman McEvoy. Carried by the fol-

September 8, 1931.
The Honorable Mayor and Council-
men of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At your last meeting
there was referred to me the peti.
tion of Joseph J. King, in which Mr.
King requests a vacation of a strip
of ground which was formerly a part
of Delhi Street and which abuts up.
on the North line of his property,
described as Lot Two (2) of One (1)
of Two (2) of One (1) of Boxleiter's
Subdivision of Lot One (1) of Min-
eral Lot 160, and the granting there-
of to him in exchange for a deed
from him of a portion of said lot
which is now being used by the City
for sidewalk purposes. This lot is
located at the intersection of Grand-
view Avenue and Delhi Streets.
I beg to advise you that I have
examined said petition and also the
facts relating thereto and have come
to the conclusion that it would be
entirely proper for the Council to
make such exchange. In order to ac-
complish this exchange a plat should
be prepared of said lot wherein said
lot is subdivided so as to show the
portion thereof which is to be deed-
ed to the City and after this plat is
Put on record a deed should be given
to the City by the owner of the lot.
After the deed is received by the
City the portion of the street that
Is to be granted to said King should
be vacated by an Ordinance pre-
pared for that purpose.
From all the facts in the case it
would appear that the City would be
held to have abandoned that portion
cf the street which it is proposed to
vacate and that Mr. King has occu-
pied the same by permanent build-
ing so as to give him prior title
thereto.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the report be approved and made a

cilman McEvoy. Carried by the fol-

Gentlemen: The Consolidated

ings Bank foreclosed a mortgage
against the property of the Ott Rub-
ber Company, judgment in foreclo-
sure being for approximately
$64,000.00.
In 1929 Railroad Avenue was im-
proved and assessment made against
the real estate of the Ott Rubber Co.
abutting thereon in the sum of
$2,095.53. No payments of any kind

ly installments. The first of these in-
stallments became due on August 16,
1929; a second and third installment
became due March 31, 1930 and 1931,
respectively. The three installments
riow in arrears amount to $628.68,
with 5% interest on the whole
amount to this date, or making a
total payment now due $843.48.
Wherefore, your petitioners ask
that the City Council pass a resolu-
tion authorizing and directing the
City Treasurer and County Treas-
urer to accept in full and complete
Payment of the first three install-
ments on said street assessment the
total principal sum thereof in the
sum of $628.68 and interest on the
whole amount at 5% to this date
$214.80, or total sum of $843.48, and
that these petitioners and their suc-
cessors in interest be authorized to
pay the remaining portion of said
assessment in installments as the
same become due.
Signed by the Consolidated Na-
tional Bank and Union Trust and
Savings Bank.—By Frantzen, Gilloon

ing that up until eleven o'clock A.M.
Sept. 21st sealed formal bids would
be received for refunding of the

However, representatives from the

The bidding started by Mr. Beck

for 4% bonds. On a spirited bidding
the final offer was made by Mr. Hill
of the Bechtel Company on the basis
of 4% bonds and an exchange agree-
ment to the City of Dubuque in the
sum of $651. We were advised that
this is on the basis of approximately
37/s% interest.

proposal made by Mr. Hill offering
to refund this issue. We have at
hand in the Treasurer's possession
also a check, No. 15207, from the
Bechtel Company in the sum of

tered into.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In regard to the peti-
tion for a new street light at Dela-
ware and Ashton Streets, please be
advised that the petition has been
Investigated and the writer finds
that no light is installed at present
on Delaware Street for two short
blocks to the east and none at the
end of the block to the west. There
is a light toward the west of this
particular intersection of Cherry
Street, but the house on the north-
east corner of Avoca and Delaware
hides this light. Toward the south
from Delaware Street on Ashton
Street there are in all six houses un-
protected by any street light in this
vicinity.
The writer would strongly recom-
mend the installation of a new 400
C.P. at Delaware and Ashton Streets.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with the
petition of Mr. F. Hintz, 3594 Gree-
ley Street, that he be permitted to
construct a new concrete sidewalk
of two feet width from King Street
southwardly on the eastwardly side
of said Greeley Street, please be ad-
vised that this proposed walk would
benefit the properties of Mr. Hintz
and Mr. F. J. Berens of 3578 Greeley
Street. The present sidewalk space
on Greeley Street appears to be 6%
feet from the back of the curb to the
property line. In this portion of the
block on the eastwardly side of the
street and south of King Street there
are three large trees.
The writer discussed with both
property owners the feaseability of a
three-foot sidewalk being located at
the regular position one foot from
the property line and a tentative ac-
ceptance was made by both property
owners in case Council will permit
of three-foot walks until such time
as the trees are removed.
The walk southwardly from King
Street will never benefit any but
these two properties as there is a
bluff just south of the house at No.
3578. Accordingly the writer would
recommend that approval be given
for a three-foot walk temporarily
and construction be made in such a
manner that would permit of addi-
tions to said walk toward the curb
in the future.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

ager be approved. Seconded by Coun-

ing a store building, and on account
of shutting off the street it is hard

store.

Gentlemen:
The petition of Herman H. Morris
of 849 Seminary Street, Dubuque,
Iowa, dated September 21st, was re-
ferred by Council to the City Man-
ager for investigation and report on
the same date.
Please be advised that Mr. Morris
is a man about forty years of age
who has lived in Dubuque since
August 5, 1930. He formerly worked
in South Dakota. Mr. Morris is a
World War veteran, enlisting in 1918
and having received his honorable
discharge in 1919. He is married
and has two children.
Mr. Morris was not injured in ser-
vice, but has since contracted rheu-
matism and is unable to perform
hard work and, in fact, has had
no work except raising vegetables
for nearly a year. For a short time
he was employed at the Brunswick
Plant, Dubuque.
He has a small car and desires to
secure a permit to sell vegetables
and fruit from house to house in the
City without paying the usual per-
mit fee. It is the writer's recom-
mendation that, due to the physical
condition of this man and the fact
he is a World War veteran, that a
license be granted without charge
until April 1, 1932.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

recommendation of the City Manager
be approved. Seconded by Council-

Gentlemen:
At a special meeting of the Play-
ground and Recreation Commission
held Wednesday, September 23, 1931,
a motion was passed to the effect
that your Honorable Body be request•
ed to set aside Block F Rafferty's
Slough Subdivision for playground
purposes until such time as its use
for industrial purposes becomes nec.
essary.
The above action was deemed ad
visable due to many requests coming
to the Recreation office for the con-
version of part of that field into a
playground on the ground that no
adequate play facilities are available
for the south end of town. The
Commission considered this a worthy
project and favorable action from
your Honorable Body will be greatly
appreciated.

Gentlemen:
The complaint of Mr. Ed. Kuebnle
regarding the blocking of East Fif-
teenth Street between Jackson and
White has been investigated by the
Chief of Police and the writer.
Please be advised that after dis-
cussing the question of Mr. Kuehnle,
it was decided to abide by the desire
of the incoming tenant in regard to
this blocking procedure of Fifteenth
Street even to the extent of not per-
mitting the street to be entirely
blocked. Due to the small school
yard on the northerly side of Fif-
teenth Street, we may have to per-
mit the use of the northerly half of
the street from White to the alley
between Jackson and White.
It is felt that this matter can be
worked out to the satisfaction of
Mr. Kuehnle in the future

A delegation from the Dubuque
Trades and Labor Congress appeared
before the Council, and several of
their members addressed the Council
objecting to the cut of wages for
laborers on city work from 50 cents
per hour to 40 cents, and hoped that
the Council would put the wage back
to 50 cents per hour. Spokesmen for
the Organization were Frank Hying,
Art Wolff, Geo. Hendricks, John
Quinn and Mr. Freeman. Mayor
Meuser explained that the Council
had approximately $16,000 available
for work which was taken from other
funds, and after considerable debate
on the subject the Council came to
the conclusion that by making the
wage at 40 cents an hour. it would
give employment to more men, there-
fore the wage was made at this fig-
ure. Councilman Schuckert also ex-
plained the situation.

matter be referred to the Council

October 5, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
In laying out the storm sewer pro-
posed for Locust Street, particularly
between First and Second Streets,
the question has arisen as to the
most logical location for this sewer.
The City Engineer and the writer
had determined that the present loca-
tion of existing street car tracks
would be the logical position for the
storm sewer inasmuch as there are
no gas pipes, water pipes, or other
sewers at this point.
We have discussed the same with
the Interstate Power Company as to
their share in removing the present
rails and ties if the location was
decided. On conference with Mr.
Maddock and Mr. Smith of the Inter-
state Power Company this afternoon,
the Power Company officials have
agreed to remove the rail on Locust
Street from First to Second and to
cut off the present steel ties 5 feet
In the trench which will accommo-
date the 30 inch pipe.
The brick taken from this section,
which originally belonged to the In-
terstate Power Company, will be the
property of the City of Dubuque and
can be used for catch basin and
manhole construction.
Inasmuch as the City would have
to provide an asphalt top over the
concreted section if the sewer had
settled, it is deemed fair to the
Power Company that the City will
assume the entire cost of this asphalt
top. We are losing about 2 feet in
the asphalt construction as the pre-
sent brick is 7 feet wide, whereas
the sewer trench will be approxi-
mately 5 feet wide, yet it is recom-
mended that this agreement be ap-
proved by Council inasmuch as the
street car company will immediately
start to work on the above mentioned
conditions and that the City gains
the usable brick in the 7 foot sec-
tion.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved
that the recommendation of the City
Manager be approved. Seconded by
Councilman Schuckert. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Meuser, Councilmen
Andelfinger, Jansen, McEvoy, Schuck-
ert.
Nays—None.
Resolution No. 181-31

Treasurer's Office of the City of Du-
buque an inactive fund not needed
for current use and which is being

bonds of said City, the interest of
which is being used for the same pur-

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
There are two drainage conditions
on West 32nd Street, one at approxi-
mately 7-10 of a mile west from Cen-
tral Avenue and the other about 9.10
of a mile west of central Avenue
which should be corrected by storm
sewers.
The first case mentioned is in
front of property owned by Mr. Adam
Stoltz at 1090 West 32nd Street.
The wash from the ravine coming
down from the north side of the
street is damaging a bridge across
the Bee Branch open channel. The
solution to this wash would be the
installation of a 24 inch pipe starting
near the north edge of 32nd Street,
running underneath the entire width
of the street and about 10 feet to
the edge of the open channel—in
all about 60 feet. Mr. Stoltz has
agreed to give us right-of-way for
the 10 feet across his property. This
proposed sewer would not only eli-
minate the trouble which is damag-
ing Mr. Stoltz's bridge, but would
also remove the mud and water from
a low place on 32nd Street which is
impossible to drain at this parti-
cular time.
Yours truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Gentlemen:
In connection with the proposed
storm sewer as recommended to be
constructed in the report submitted
to the Council September 11th from
Fremont Avenue toward the west
along lot lines between 7 and 3 and
also 11 and 12 towards Stetmore
Street, please be advised that we
have found it impossible thus far to
secure right-of-way across land
owned by Mr. E. C. Peaslee.
In further studying this drainage
system, it is recommended that the
original scheme be abandoned; that
a sewer be constructed in the park-
ing on the west side of Fremont Ave-
nue from the present catch basin
discharge at a low place in the street
southwardly to St. Joseph Street
a distance of approximately 200 feet
and that, instead of running down
through private property toward
Stetmore Street, that a sewer be
provided on St. Joseph Street for
approximately the same distance,
which would carry it below the pre-
sent houses on St. Joseph Street and
would make it available for the .City
in the future to construct catch
basins on St. Joseph Street.
We ask your authority for the
change as above enumerated.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
In connection with the authoriza-
tion to proceed with work on storm
sewer relief at Pierce Street south
from West Locust Street, please be
advised that the pipe is actually laid
in nearly this entire original pro-
posal. In other words, the pipe is
laid from a stub off Locust Street
along the west side of Pierce Street
up to the property of Mr. McInerney
and will, in a day or so, connect with
the present pipe through Mr. Mc-
Inerney's yard.
Mr. W. J. Huber and other proper-
ty owners along Pierce Street above
the actual authorized sewer con-
struction make request that the
Pierce Street sewer be extended
from the McInerney property up the
hill in a southwestwardly direction
to or near Angella Street. This addi-
tional construction would take ap-
proximately 300 feet of 24 inch sewer
pipe, costing about $750.00.
This matter is called to Council's
attention for immediate decision in
order that the work can be extended
without removing tools and equip-
ment from this street.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The case of Mr. L. J. Hall of 115
Nevada Street concerning his request
that the City stand 50% of a bill
amounting to $37.62 for certain sewer
repairs at the junction of his lateral
and the main sewer on Nevada
Street has been inevstigated and
please be advised as follows.
Mr. Hall's contention is that the
City is responsible for the fact that
his men discovered a broken bell
on the joint just below his Y. Mr.
Hall claims that the roots grew from
the tree across the street from his
home through this broken bell and
entered the main sewer and eventu-
ally into his sewer lateral which was
upstream in the direction of the
flow of sewage. Our sewer men
claim that roots do not grow up-
stream; that the force of sewage in
all cases causes the thin roots to be
washed downstream and roots usu-
ally find crevices below the opening.
It would seem that the City is
responsible for the main sewer and
records at the City Hall do not ad-
vise upon what authority the Y
branch was installed in an improper
manner. We believe that the owner
is responsible for his lateral and
since no serious trouble was found in
the main sewer, we cannot see why
the City should stand 50% of the
cost of repairing the sewer.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

October 19, 1931.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
In September trouble arose at the
sewer pump on Gilliam Street which
was caused, we believe, by the cast
iron sewage discharge pipe coming
loose at the connection at a flange
through the wall of said tank from
the line leading to the free discharge
near Grace and Algona Streets.
Messrs. Uhlrich and Paley, the con-
tractors on this work, were imme-
diately notified and they advised that
inasmuch as they had no skilled
mechanics at hand, that the City
take charge of the work and correct
the same and charge any costs en-
countered thereunder to the Uhlrich.
Paley Company.
At the same time the Fairbanks -
Morse people were notified in Beloit,
Wisconsin. They sent a man here
who diagnosed the trouble in that
the design of the apparatus did not
include a bead from the sewage pipe
at the flange to prevent the same
from pulling loose as did occur after
the lead had been packed around the
joint.
The purpose of this letter is to
advise that repairs to the two motors
that were flooded by sewerage were
made by the Orne Electric Company
of this City. The total cost for this
service was $169.15. Today Mr. Orne
presented his request to the City
that inasmuch as the Uhlrich-Paley
Company had not paid the bill for
$169.15 and that Mr. Uhlrich advised
that they were waiting to hear from
Fairbanks -:Morse in this connection,
that the City pay this bill and charge
324 Special Session, October 19th, 1931
the amount to the contractors, Uhl -
rich -Paley. Telephone verification
from Mr. Frank Uhlrich disclosed
the fact that the City pay this cost
and charge his company until such
time as adjustment was secured from
Beloit. Accordingly, on advice of
City Solicitor, Mr. Orne was paid a
check for $169.15 today and Uhlrich-
Paley Company was charged for the
same amount.
We attach herewith a copy of a
letter from Mr. Orne to the City in
which he assigns his service, upon
receipt of the cost of the samb, to
the City of Dubuque.
This matter is brought to your at-
tention for matter of information.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

on the river front for the Kinawha,

To the City Council,
City of Dubuque:
For a number of months past this
board has been investigating the
feasibility and desirability of pro-
viding a coal terminal at some point
on the river front. After careful and
continuous consideration and months
of negotiations, we now wish to say
to you that we feel that the time has
come when, in order to take advan-
tage of our opportunity to further
benefit from our location on the Mis-
sissippi River, we should move for
the establishment of said Coal Ter-
minal.
We have had plans drawn for the
terminal to be located north of the
lower high bridge and south of East
Eighth Street fronting a slough
through which Eighth Street runs to
the river.
We propose to use the land at that
location deeded to the city for park
purposes, and the city has had it
appraised for the purpose of carry-
ing out the conditions of the deed.
The other land which we propose
to use and which is contiguous to
the park property above mentioned
is under an option which expires
October 29th. To the north of this
property and under water are some
lots over which an easement will
be necessary.
This easement has been promised
us. It is anticipated that the pur-
chase of the land, the building of the
sea wall, the filling behind it, the
relocation of a street, the building 01
a railroad track and the necessary
super structure consisting of unload
ing, screening, weighing and other
equipment and the necessary build
ing can be constructed at this time
for not more than $150,000.
A contract for leasing of this ter-
minal has been negotiated with offi-
cials of the Kanawha -Mississippi
.Coal Company, a West Virginia cor-
poration, which contract has been be-
fore you and has beed subject to dis-
cussion; therefore, you are familiar
with its provisions.
In view of the above we hereby
recommend the building of a Coal
Terminal at the location named and
request that bonds to an amount not
to exceed $150,000 be issued as
needed and when the said Kanawha -
Mississippi Coal Company can show
that it has not less than $200,000
paid into the Company as capital.
Board of Dock Commissioners,
By P. S. FAWKES,
President.
By J. A. KERPER,
Secretary.
An agreement made and entered
into in duplicate this 26th day of
September, 1931, by and between the
City of Dubuque, Iowa, acting by and
through its Commissioners of Pub-
lic Docks, Party of the first part, and
the Kanawha -Mississippi Coal Com-
pany of West irginia, A corporation
organized and existing the laws of
State of West Virginia, Party of the
Second Part. Signed by Kanawha -
Mississippi Coal Company of West
Virginia.
By N. Y. GARVEY,
President,
By ERNEST C. MER -
RILL, Secretary,
City of Dubuque, Iowa,
By Commissioners of,
• Public Docks,
By P. S. FAWKES,
President,
By J. A. KERPER,
Secretary,
By J. W. WINALL,
Commissioner.
Presented and read. The rules
having been suspended, the following
Citizens addressed the Council rela-
tive to the proposed Dock Terminal.
Geo P. Rose, on addressing the
Council stated that he is in favor of
anything that is for the good of the
City. He said that the contract is
practically all in favor of the Kan-
awha -Mississippi Coal Company. Un-
der this contract it is almost im-
possible for our Industries to get
Coal from any other Company.
He stated that this is an organiza-
tion formed in West Virginia with an
authorized Capital stock of a Mil-
lion Dollars, but only $60,000 has
been paid in and some of this has
already been spent for development
purposes among themselves. This is
a contract in which the City puts up
332 Special Session, October 26th, 1931
a large part of free ground and a
coal dock which goes under the con-
trol of the coal company. This com-
pany wants an exclusive control of
the dock facilities, virtually shutting
out shippers from all other coal
fields whose coal is used in Dubuque
the most.
If the contract was entered into
with a $60,000 corporation they are
not financially responsible to comply
with the terms of the contract and
retire $150,000 bonds in 20 years.
These bonds are a direct obligation
of the City of Dubuque.
It would be better to insist that
the coal company put up a bond to
secure the City or else put up a suf-
ficient amount of cash into their
Treasury to insure their responsibil-
ity. Or, let the City build and lease
the clock on a tonnage basis.
Messrs Eugene Adams of the
Adams Co., and J. C. Collier of the
Carr, Ryder & Adams Co., also ad-
dressed the Council, coinciding with
Mr. Rose.
John A. Kerper of the Dock Com-
mission stated that the contract will
not become effective until the Kan-
awha Coal Co. has $200,000 paid in
capital. He said that the reason the
company hasn't any more money
subscribed is because everything is
Predicted on the obtaining of con-
tracts with the cities along the river.
They have the money and the coal
but no place to go, and there is no
good reason why they should throw
money in a pot until they know how
they are fixed as to terminals.
P. S. Fawkes also made a strong
talk favoring the contract, as did also
the City Solicitor, M. H. Czizek.
Mayor Meuser stated that he un-
derstands that several men of the
Kanawha -Mississippi Coal Company
will be in the City the latter part of
this week and suggested that the
Council, Dock -Board and any other
citizens interested meet with them,
the meeting to be called when it is
definitely known when they will be
here.
Councilman Andelfinger moved
that a meeting be called as suggested
by the Mayor. Seconded by Council.

(official)
Special Session, October 30th, 1931.
Meeting called by order of Mayor
Meuser and Councilman Jansen.
Council met at 8:00 o'clock p. in.
Present—Mayor Meuser, ,Council-
men Andelfinger, Jansen, McEvoy,
Schuckert and City Manager Evans.
Mayor Meuser read the call and
stated that notice thereof had been
duly made and that this meeting is
called for the purpose of approving
the contract entered into by the
Dock Commissioners of the City of
Dubuque, with the Kanawha -Missis-
sippi Coal Company of West Virginia
for the construction of a Coal Ter-
minal on the river front and authoriz-
ing the issuance of Municipal bonds
in the amount of $150,000 and act-
ing on any other business that may
properly come before the meeting.
There were also present at this
meeting Martin Garvey, President,
and Ernest M. Merrill, Secretary, of
the Kanawha -Mississippi Coal Com-
pany, Members of the Dock Com-
mission and approximately one hun-
dred interested citizens. .
Mayor Meuser stated that this is
an open meeting for discussion of
the proposition of entering into a
contract with the Kanawha -Missis-
sippi Coal Company and the issuing
of bonds in the amount of $150,000,
and anyone present who wishes to
do so, may speak on the subject,
for or against the proposition, and
asked John A. Kerper, Secretary of
the Dock Commission to explain the
contract which the Dock Commis-
sion and the Coal Company have
agreed upon, and that all persons in-
terested would have an opportunity
to ask questions on any points they
desired to have explained.
Mr. Kerper told of the negotiations
the Dock Board has had with the
Coal company executives over a
period of several years and then ex-
plained the terms of the contract.
He said that there is not an item
in the contract that wasn't thorough-
ly discussed. Everything was thor-
oughly thrashed out, and the Dock
Commissioners feel that they did
the best they could and have suc-
ceeded. The coal terminal will bring
about industrial development; will
tend to reduce fuel costs for every
body and is a good thing for all con-
cerned.
Questions relating to the financial
responsibility of the Kanawha -Mis-
sissippi Coal Company, performance
bond, coal prices and other points in
the contract were asked by J. C. Col-
lier, Eugene Adams, Lowell Watkins,
John Quinn, E. H. Scheppele and
Mr. Richards, and were answered by
Messrs Garvey and Merrill of the
Coal Company.
Messrs Garvey and Merrill both
stated that their corporation has an
authorized capital stock of One Mil-
lion Dollars, with $60,000 paid in at
the present time and that the paid
in capital stock will be $200,000 by
November 10th, and that the capitali-
zation will be completed when the
company is assured of having ter-
minals along the Mississippi river.
He said that the group of men that
he and Mr. Merrill are associated
with own coal mines, steamboats and
barges and at the present time he is
shipping 365,000 tons annually by
water.
As to a performance bond, he said
that his company will not consider it
as he believed the city is asking too
much, inasmuch as the company is
to pay for the terminal site and
equipment in Dubuque in 20 years,
by retiring the bonds, and the City
will always own the site and equip-
ment. He said that his company
must also maintain the terminal and
equipment and assume liability for
anything that might happen while
the terminal is operated.
They must also move not less than
50,000 tons of coal to Dubuque every
year by water.
Mr. Merrill augmented Mr. Gat-
vey's statements and explained the
benefits that will be derived by the
City and inland waterways transpor-
tation as a whole if Dubuque goes
through with the terminal.
City Solicitor Czick made a strong
plea for the approval of the contract
which he assisted the dock com-
mission to draw up. He stated that
the Dock Board had entered into
the execution of the contract with
the intention of doing something for
the people of Dubuque.
This contract was nothing that
was conceived in a moment. He said
it took a long time of investigation
before it was executed. The Dock
Board members believed that this
contract was going to rebound to
the interest of 40,000 people in Du-
buque. He stated that he had heard
that the contract is one sided, that
the dock board and the City Solici-
tor sold out the City to the Coal cor-
poration. That does not sit very
well. They thought they had done a
fairly man's size Job, and thought so
concientiously.
He then explained that the idea
of a performance bond was his own,
Put finally decided that he was argu-
ing for an unreasonable thing. The
only proposition involved in the
whole controversy is this: Is the
coming of these men to Dubuque a
good thing for a community of
334 . Special Session, October 30th, 1931
40,000? If not, cut it out; let's not
throw up a smoke screen on account
of other collateral issues.
The Chamber of Commerce has for
years demanded the city own Ham's
island. Committees of the chamber
have been busy getting options on
this property because they feel that
Dubuque must have it if the City is
to keep pace with other river cities
in river development.
The Dock Board have decided to
put Ham's Island in the picture. It
was good judgement.
He stated that through the ter-
minal contract Dubuque will acquire
a great part of Ham's Island, and
will have a site on the river front
suitable for any kind of an industry,
all of which will be worth $100,000
That $35,000 will be expended for
labor and thus relieve the unemploy-
ment situation, and Dubuque will ob-
tain a new industry. He also dis-
cussed other clauses in the contract,
and in closing said we all want to
see the old town shoot ahead, that
Dubuque is the only city between
St. Paul and St. Louis that has four
railroads and our hope for our future
rests in the future of the Mississippi
river, if we don't help to make this
river a real transportation line, Du-
buque will still be a city of 40,000
population in 50 years from now.
We are not bargaining away the
City's interests, and to him this coal
terminal looks like a direct and in-
direct benefit to every man woman
and child in this community. Direct-
ly, by the low cost of fuel, indirectly,
to induce other industries to locate
here. We will have river transporta-
tion and fuel to offer, and if that
does'nt bring them here nothing else
will. He feels there is not much of
a gamble in this thing. Dubuque
might reasonably undertake this pro-
position.
Jos. J. Ott, and H. G. Melchior, a
former mayor of Dubuque also spoke
in favor of the Coal terminal pro-
ject.
Councilman McEvoy moved that
the matter be referred to the Coun-
cil for further consideration. Second-
