December 28, 1933.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is a bill
from E. T. Cleaver, plumber, ad-
dressed to Mr. Oliver Schrup in the
6 V11'r
sum of $3.90 which work was done
December 18th at night.
The writer was called from a Coun-
cil Meeting on the night of Decem-
ber 18th about 9:30 in the evening
and advised by Mrs. Schrup that
sewer trouble existed in the cellar
at Locust and West 13th. Mrs.
Schrup advised that they had a
plumber and he had determined that
the trouble was in the main sewer;
accordingly, the City Sewer Depart-
ment was immediately instructed to
try and relieve the sewer trouble.
Mr. Sullivan and his department
worked from approximately 10:00
P. M. to 1:00 in the morning and
did find trouble in the 6 inch sewer
on West 13th Street between Locust
Street and the alley west of Main
Street.
When the Sewer Department re-
ported in the same night to the lo-
cation in which trouble existed they
found approximately six feet of wat-
er standing in the manhole in front
of Mr. Schrup's home. This trouble
was caused by roots in said 6 inch
sewer on West 13th Street and the
trouble was eliminated that night
and the following day. Accordingly,
the writer believes that the bill from
the plumber, Mr. E. T. Cleaver,
amounting to $3.90 was caused by
stoppage in the main sewer below
Mr. Schrup's home.
For your information this 6 inch
sewer which had been privately in-
stalled and had been considered a
private sewer was authorized to be
made a public sewer on approval
and authorization by the City Coun-
cil, Petition presented by Messrs.
Schrup, McFadden and Ryan on the
date of October 5, 1931.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman McEvoy moved that
the recommendation of City Manag-
er Evans be approved and a war-
rant in the sum of $3.90 ordered
drawn on the General Fund in favor
of Edw. T. Cleaver, plumber, for
labor and material used at the home
of Mr, Oliver Schrup caused by the
backing up of sewer into his base-
ment. Seconded by Councilman An-
delflnger. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen
Andelflnger, McEvoy and Thompson.
Nays—None,

January 2, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Cquncil,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: As directed by the
motion of City Council of Decem-
ber 26th, the writer discussed the
question with Mr. Joseph Jeannet-
aud today regarding the amount he
desires to be paid from the City of
Dubuque for permitting the City to
construct a concrete sidewalk at the
southeast corner of the Diamond
House at West 8th Street and Jul-
ien Avenue.
Mr. Jeannetaud said that in con-
structing the new concrete sidewalk
on his property, the City broke the
glass, damaged the woodwork by the
window at the intersection of West
8th Street and Julien Avenue and
also that the City broke two wooden
steps leading to his cellar entrance,
both of which have never been re-
paired by the City.
Mr. Jeannetaud said that Mr.
Kratz advised him in 1929 not to
worry about the price to be paid
by the City for the area of Mr. Jean-
netaud's private property that was
taken for new sidewalk, but that
Mr. Kratz resigned and no agree.
ment had been made prior to his
leaving the City and none has been
made since then.
Mr. Jeannetaud advised that he
expected at least $500.00 to be paid
for this small section, but that now
he was willing to accept $300.00.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City
Councilman Andelfinger moved to

Council. Seconded by Councilman

January 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor andCity
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is a letter
Ind a bill for sewer stoppage at the
F• W. Woolworth Company, 739 Main
Special Session, JanuarN• 2nd, 1934
Street. This letter was received this
morning and my attention was di-
rected to the claim at 11:45 A. M.
December 30th.
Mr. Sullivan, the Sewer Inspector,
today advises that he was called to
the Woolworth store December 18th
and observed the sewage that had
been deposited on the Woolworth
basement floor. Upon examination
of the 10 inch main sewer located in
the alley west of the Woolworth
store between 7th and 8th Streets,
Mr. Sullivan found that a stoppage
had occurred just below the lateral
sewer connection from Woolworth's.
Upon cleaning out the stoppage that
existed in the main sewer and push-
ing the same to the 7th Street man-
hole, it was discovered that at least
a bucket of rags had apparently
caused the stoppage in the main
sewer and said rags were removed
from the manhole and shown to the
manager of the Woolworth Company.
Mr. Sullivan's opinion was that ap-
parently these rags had come from
Woolworth's sewer lateral as they
Were located just below the entrance
of the Woolworth lateral into the
main sewer. Woolworth's manager
was advised to warn his help against
allowing any rags to be placed in the
sewer openings in Woolworth's store.
Mr. Sullivan did not know of any
rags being located in the lateral con-
nection between the cellar and the
main sewer. As to the cause or the
placing of these rags in the sewer
is still a question and no informa-
tion is available at this time as to
where these rags may have come
from.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager

Dear Sir: In reference to re-
arranging our rate schedules for do-
mestic consumers I believe that we
can now give you a suggestion that
will meet the spirit of various con-
ferences we have had with yourself
and other City officials.
The revenues in Dubuque are still
decreasing and the economies in
operation have been to some extent
offset by increased expenses due to
the Government's recovery plan and
certain increased taxes.
We believe this reduction will be
an effective move toward helping
our customers at this time, and we
are willing to do our part in meet-
ing the extraordinary condition we
all face today.
The new rates which we desire'to
put into effect March 1st are:
RESIDENT LIGHTING.
First 50 KWH, 7y2c per KWH, net
Next 50 KWH, 6c per KWH, net
Excess KWH, 4c per KWH, net
Minimum—$1.00 per month.
Prompt Payment Discount:
Customer's monthly bills will be
computed at the net rate, and there
will be -added to the total net bill
a sum equal to ten percent thereof
which will be collected from custom-
ers who fail to pay the net bill with-
in ten days of date of bill.
OPTIONAL RATE.
First 40 KWH $3.20
Next 40 KWH 4c per KWH.
Next 100 KWH 3c per KWH.
Excess KWH 2%c per KWH.
Minimum Monthly Bill:
For Residences—The amount at
which the first 40 KWH is billed.
For Commercial Institutions—The
amount at which the first 40 KWH
is billed, or $1.00 per horsepower or
fraction thereof, or equivalent,
whichever is the higher.
Prompt Payment Discount.
Customers' monthly bills will be
computed at the net rate, and there
will be added to the total net bill a
sum equal to ten percent thereof
which will be collected from custom-
ers who fail to pay the net bill with-
in ten days of date of bill.
Availability:
For all residence service, includ-
ing lighting — This schedule is also
applicable to commercial institutions,
for all service except lighting, pro-
vided that no motor in excess of one
horsepower shall be served on this

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Last night prior to
the regular drilling of the Gover-
nor's Greys, the officials of said Gov-
ernor's Greys noticed an apparent
settlement in the floor at the third
floor of the Armory Hall over the
9th Street Fire Engine House. A
complete investigation was made to-
day. From string line measurements,
it appears that the greatest settle-
ment is at a point approximately 50
feet west from the east line of said
building or from the Iowa Street line
and approximately 14 feet north
from the south line of the main
building wall. This settlement oc-
curs at a line of columns that ex-
tends from the basement floor to the
ceiling of the second floor.
A comparative settlement at the
ceiling line of the second floor and
the ceiling line of the first floor was
also discovered, varying from 2 inch-
es to 1% inches as close as rough
string line measurements were pos-
sible. The cellar pier and footing
were roughly examined and it was
not found that any cracking or ap-
parent disturbances exist in the
stone pier at this location. How-
ever, it is not ascertained that a
settlement at the footing has not
occurred. Apparent recent cracks
are in the large timber running east
and west in the line of columns on
both sides of the particular pier that
is settled.
It is known that a slight settle-
ment has existed at this particular
location at the ceiling line of the
first and second floors and also on
the floor line of the third floor for
some time, but it is believed that
the settlement has recently increased
by approximately 1 inch.
In order to preserve the building
and prevent a possible serious acci-
dent, the writer has today issued in-
structions to the Recreation Dept.,
the Governor's Greys and the Fire
Department that no further use
whatsoever is to be made of the
third floor Armory Hall until care-
ful examination is made and possible
repair has been completed. We are
getting opinions and rough figures
from local building contractors which
will be submitted to the City Coun-
cil.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved
that the communication be received
and made a matter of record. Sec-
onded by Councilman Thompson.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Pro Tem McEvoy,
Councilmen Andelfinger, Schiltz and
Thompson.
Nays—None.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the Council meet-
ing held January 2nd a claim of Leo
Wanger in the sum of $32.00 was
presented to the Council for alleged
damaa es caused by his car running
into an excavation at 18th Street
just east of the Milwaukee railroad
tracks. The claim was submitted to
the City Manager for investigation
and report.
Accordingly, I wish to advise that
Mr. Leo Wanger is the son of Mr.
Andy Wanger who lives at 2482
Washington Street. Mr. Leo Wang-
er, on the night of December 19th
at about 7:30, drove a Graham -Paige
sedan, 1929 model, from 17th Street
northwardly in the alley between
Pine Street and Maple Street. This
particular alley, so far as the platted
right-of-way is concerned, ends about
150 feet north of 18th Street, but
for many years the owners of Lots
300 and 301 have permitted public
driving across the rear of said two
lots so that traffic can go from East
17th to East 18th Street and traffic
avoids the very deep gutter cross-
ing at the curb line of 17th Street
and Maple Street by using this al-
ley and rf ar of two private lois.
The obstruction, or sewer hole
mentioned in Mr. Wanger's letter,
which caused the damage is of un-
known origin to city officials. From
residents of the vicinity, it seems
apparent that the former tenant on
Lot 301 dug a hole about 10 feet
north of the south property line of
0
Special Session, January 22nd, 1934
18th Street, said hole being about
20 feet west of the west property
line of Maple Street. The hole was
dug for the purpose of emptying slop
and debris from the house on Lot
301. No permission whatsoever has
been granted by the city for such
a nuisance. Later it seems the hole
was covered by a set of planks laid
on two cross ties at a comparative
area of 3 feet by 6 feet. Some time
recently two planks were removed
from this cover along the south edge
of this wooden construction. Mr.
Wanger claims that his car ran into
the spot where the planks had been
removed and there is evidence on
the first plank still remaining that
his automobile, or some other
vehicle, has struck said hole in the
ground and run up on top of the
plank.
To prevent additional accidents or
this obstruction on 18th Street, the
writer has ordered the south end o'
said hole in the ground, where the
planks have been removed, to N
filled with loose rock. The entire
obstruction is on the right-of-way of
18th Street.
The driver had crossed private
right-of-way before striking this of
struction, but at the time of thi
accident he was undoubtedly on 18t]
Street or at least the wheels on th,
left side of his car were on 180
Street.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager

tions purporting to contain the
names of 4,548 electors of the City

the following proposition be sub-
mitted to the electors of said City
at a special election to be called
therefor, to-wit:—
"Shall the City of Dubuque aban-
don its organization under Chapter
328 of the Code and resume such
special charter?" and
Whereas such petitions were re-
ferred to the City Council for the
purpose of determining the suffic-
iency thereof both as to form and
the number of signers thereon; and
Whereas, a canvass of said peti-
tions reveals the following facts-.—
First:
acts:—
First: Of the total number of sig-
natures, 2,796 are registered at the
given address.
Second: There are 1,825 signa-
tures of persons who are not regis-

fore the petitions were filed, and
Whereas, after making as careful

sible within the limited time allow-
ed, It has been determined that said
petitions contain a sufficient number
of signatures to comply with the
law: and,
Whereas, the City Solicitor has
advised this Council that the peti-
tions are in substantial compliance
with the statute:
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved
by the Council of the City of Du-

Gentlemen: In connection with
the repair wort: on the sunken pier
and column at the 91h Street En-
gine House, as authorized to be
awarded to the low bider, viz. N.
ors, by
FSchueller & Son,
City Council January 29, 1934, please
be advised that a serious condition
has been discovered, after the start.
ing of the original plan of repair,
which condition has necessitated a
change in design and has increased
the cost.
The original plan of repair was
based on the assumption that the
3' x 3' pier had settled due to inade-
quate footing and we plan ue up tl lye
to increase the footing,
cast iron column and raise the set-
tled floors above the pier. However,
during the first day of work in try-
ing to construct the new footing un-
der the sunken pier, it was discov-
ered that the original footing of said
pier had been placed over a portion
of a three foot diameter open well,
or cistern, of brick construction. The
stone base of the pier has settled In.
to the well. The well is not filled;
it is unsafe and its present depth
is around 16 feet with soft mud and
loose sand at the bottom. It is
deemed unsafe and useless to try
to make the base of the present
Tx 3' stone pier, which has a dead
weight itself of over 10 tons, safe
by filling in the well or shaft. Ac-
cordingly, a new design was pre-
pared and submitted to the contract-
or, including two new concrete foot-
ings, two new vertical 12" I -Beam
columns and two new horizontal 18"
I -Beams to suspend the total load
from the present weak pier to the
new columns.
The analysis of the division of
costs of the original project and the
agreement by the contractor on the
additional costs of the revised plan.
including new materials to be furn-
ished by the City, are as follows

be based upon the possibility. feas-
ability and safe grade that can be
established. It may be necessary to
erect a barricade east of Mr. Abeln's
garage and provide a drop of from
5 to 15 feet in said alley at this loca-
tion. In this case, access to the
Fogarty and Sullivan properties will
have to be made from the south. If
41
Possible, the entire alley will be
opened.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A petition filed with
the City Council January 22nd re-
garding the opening and grading of
West Third Street, east of Algona
Street, was referred to the Council
to view the ground. Accordingly, on
February 3rd the City Council view-
ed and determined that West Third
Street, east of South Algona Street,
should be graded and placed, if pos-
sible, to the approximate true sub -
grade of said street from Algona
Street east as far as possible or to
near the location where West Third
Street is only 25 feet in width.
A serious question arises in this
particular portion of West Third
Street due to the present house on
the Born property being situated
partially on West Third Street. This
question of securing the removal of
this present house from the present
street lines of West Third Street is
to be referred to the City Solicitor
for an opinion.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

February 5, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the meeting of
January 9th the matter was referred
to the City Manager for investiga-
tion and report as to the liabiity of
the contractor, Mr. R. F. Conlon, in
connection with the water breaks in
the private water lateral of Mr. Fred
I Bissell following the construction of
a new sanitary sewer south and
west of the Plymouth Street section.
The following facts have been ascer-
ar,
lar Session, hebruary ith, 1934 43
tained in connection with the water
breaks:
1. That no indication of water leak
occurred during the construction
of this sewer.
2. That the contractor and the City
Engineer did not know of the
position of this water lateral at
the time of the construction of
said sewer. Mr. Bissell's water
line comes through Mrs. Wil.
mott's yard and extends through
Mr. Bissell's corn field.
Accordingly, the writer can see no
reason why the contractor should be
held for a condition that was un-
known to him as this water line was
in a certain portion of the sewer
construction that was tunnelled and,
accordingly, the water line was not
seen.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Thompson moved that
the communication of City Manager
Evans be made a matter of record
Seconded by Councilman McEvoy.

Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A. the Council meet-
ing January 22nd the petition of Mr.
Henry Grewe, et al, requesting that
a street light be installed at 25th
and Washington Streets, was re-
ferred to the City Manager for in-
vestigation and report.
This location was viewed during
the evening of February 2nd and
appears very dark. Inasmuch as the
closest light on Washington Street,
to the south of this location, is at
24th and Washington and due to the
heavy traffic at certain portions of
the year around Comiskey Field, it
is the writer's recommendation that
a new 400 C. P. street light be auth-
orized to be installed at once.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger m o v e d

Manager Evans be approved. Sec-
onded by Councilman McEvoy. Car-
ried by the following vote:

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the written request of Emil Pfalz-
graf filed with the City Council De-
cember 26th requesting elimination
of storm water overflow across his
lots between Mineral and Pearl
Streets, this is to .advise that the
City Council viewed this site Satur-
day afternoon, February 3rd.
The decision reached was that a
15" or 18" storm sewer was to be
constructed, at City expense, provid-
ing proper right-of-way be granted
by Mr. Pfalzgraf along the west line
of Lot 38 and Lot 53 front Pearl
Street to Mineral Street and that
Pearl Street be slightly regraded in
order that the low point north of
Lot 38 will be at the upper end
of the new proposed sewer.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council. Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the matter referred to the Council
on January 15, 1934, to consider the
construction of a storm sewer over
the open portions of the Bee Branch
creek from, 17th Street north to near
22nd Street, this is to advise that
the City Council viewed this site
Saturday afternoon, February 3rd.
The decision reached was as fol.
lows:
That an application be made to
the C. W. A. for appropriations to
construct the sides of this sewer of
quarried stone or possibly the curb
stone from Main Street, said side
walls of the sewer to be erected
vertically with dowels inserted at
the top of said two walls. At the
location where the side walls are al-
ready 2 to 4 feet above the stream
level, said side walls are to be
raised to the required. height of
about 10 feet. At such portions of
the creek where there is no floor, a
stone flooring is to be installed.
Upon completion of the flooring
and side walls, additional appropria-
tion for labor shall be made to the
C.W.A. conditioned upon the City's
ability, at that time, to furnish ma-
terial for reinforced concrete slab
construction from one side wall to
the other side wall to form a rein-
forced concrete top over the sewer.
Yours very truly,
R. NI. EVANS,
City Manager.

terials has been made to the City
of Dubuque upon such improvement
but the money from such grant has
not yet been received from federal
agencies; and,
Whereas, the cost of said improve-
ment must now be levied oagainst
benefited property to pay g
r said

total cost of said improvement in
order that the contractor may be
compensated for work done under
said contract, pending the receipt
from the United States Government
of the money allotted upon the grant
referred to; and,
Whereas, upon the receipt of such
grant the amount realized therefrom
will be applied upon the payment of
the earliest installment and the as-
sessments upon assessed property
shall be reduced thereby:
Now, Therefore.
Be it Resolved, by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque, that the
City Engineer be and he is hereby
directed to prepare the assessments
to pay the whole cost of said im-
provement in the manner provided
by law and that said grant be ap-
plied upon the payment of the ear-
liest installments; and the assess-
ments levied against respective pro-
perties be paid or cancelled accord-
ingly.
Be it Further Resolved, that ac-
cruing interest upon the contract
from the date of the acceptance of
the work to the date of the publi-
cation of the notice of assessments
be assumed by the City of Dubuque
and the total amount thereof be
assessed to the City of Dubuque
and paid from the improvement fund
as the annual assessments therefor
mature.
Be it Further Resolved, that the
City Clerk be and he is hereby di
rected to publish a notice of thf
assessments in the manner provide(
by law.

To The Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Concerning the offer
of Mr. Fred Hertner, of 2456 ROOse-
velt Street for the purchase of the
lot on Roosevelt Street adjacent and
southeast of his home for $25.00
which offer was made at the Council
meeting March 27, 1934 and referred
to the writer for report, please be
advised as follows:
This lot is designated Lot 2 of
Peal's Sub.; is located on the south.
west side of Roosevelt Street; the
lot fronts 60 feet on Roosevelt Street
and is 100 feet deep.
This lot was acquired by the City
September 2, 1921 by tax sale. Up
to March 31, 1931, total unpaid as-
sessments and unpaid taxes against
this lot amounted to $219.99.
The new paving assessment levied
against the same this year is also
$159.40, less the 30% grant.
The contour of this lot is rather
steep. The elevation of the ground
at the rear is about 25 feet above
the level of the curb. However,
other homes in this section have
been erected on land nearby as
steep, by the method of the 11/2
story type of construction.
The writer's firm belief is that
this lot, on a modern paved street,
is certainly worth more than $25.00
and since unpaid assessments in ex-
cess of $200.00 are held by the City,
it is my recommendation that the
offer to purchase this lot for $25.00
be rejected.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Thompson moved that
the recommendation of City Manager
Evans be approved. Seconded by

April 6, 1934.
To The Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
The attached application of John
B. Wersinger, dated March 15, 1934,
which was referred to the writer by
the City Council on March 19th. for
investigation and report, has been
carefully checked.
I find that Mr. Wersinger has been
granted a free license during 1931,
1932 and 1933. He is a World War
veteran; was not injured in service,
but contracted arthritis. In 1931 his
skull was fractured by reason of a
farm accident. He is still not able
to do heavy work. Since the last
license was granted to the applicant,
an additional child has been born
and now the applicant has six de-
pendents.
The Soldiers' Relief, which
amounted to $2.70 per week, has also
been cancelled. His total assets are
around $1,000.00. He is still operat-
ing his 1926 truck.
After careful investigation, it is
the writer's recommendation that a
free license be granted for another
year.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On March 2, 1934, a
petition signed by Alfred W. Austin,
et al, on Delhi Street near the west
city line, was presented to the City
Council and referred to the writer
for investigation and report. The
request was that due to the condi-
tion caused by construction of a
sanitary sewer from the extreme
west city line eastwardly on the
north parking of Delhi Street for
about seven lots, damage has been
done to the sidewalks, curb and gut-
ter along said Delhi Street.
Investigation and discussion with
Mr. Austin yesterday indicates that
the sidewalk has been rebuilt by
Mr. Ulrich during his two year main-
tenance guarantee. Only two places
of very slight defects exist in the
sidewalk or the relaid sidewalk,
namely two blocks are slightly sunk-
en in front of houses No. 2509 and
2495, which can be raised, and in
front of house No. 2495 there is
about 10 feet of twisted curb.
The gutter, which is of cement,
is low and rough and dangerous in
spots for approximately 50% of the
entire sewer length, or approximate-
ly 150 feet. It is my belief that the
gutter can be repaired by a coat-
ing of cement. There is sufficient
fall in the gutter to prevent water
standing in said repaired section of
this gutter.
The entire request, if approved by
the Council, will not be very costly
as but a few hours work will cor-
rect the defects believed caused by
the construction of this sewer.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved

May 28, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is a revised
copy of the proposed adjustment of
Roosevelt Street paving assessment.
At the Council meeting of May
23rd, Mr. Czizek suggested that the
actual valuations of property includ-
ed in the paving assessments be
based, not on the 1933 assessed ra-
tio, but on present 1934, 100010 valua-
tion. Accordingly, the actual 1934
individual 100% values have been re-
ceived from the Assessor and have
been used in the revised calcula-
tions. The costs necessary to be as-
sumed by the city for city owned
property and the property assess-
ments in excess of 25% of present
calculated actual value prior to pav-
ing, plus 25% of paving assessments
by this method, together with grad-
ing, interest, etc., amount to
$4,643.19, as against $5,444.42 on the
first plan dated May 12th, or a sav-
ing of $801.23 to the city.
A revised summary includes the
following:
Total Costs paid
Contractor ........$23,436.96
Less Actual Grant
Received ............ 6,835.65
Amount to be as-
sessed to Prop-
erty and City .... $16,601.31 —$133.20
Revised Assess-
ments to Prop-
erty .... 11,958.12
Amount to be As-
sumed by City ..$ 4,643.19 -{-$133.20
DETAILS OF CITY SHARE
70% Assessment

ed Lots ..............$ 239.90
70% Costs of Ac-
tual Grading .... 282.69
Additional Inter-
est Due because
of the Delay in
Receipt of 30%
grant .................. 457.69
Revised Total
Amounts of
Various Assess-
ments in excess
of 25% of. new
values 3,604.86 x-$133.20
Necessary As-
sumption by City
of Non -Payment
by Federal Gov-
ernment of 30%

terest due con-
tractor ................ 58.05
Total City Costs-$ 4,643.19
+ 133.20
$ 4,776.39
June 15, 1934.
Questions on the assessments still
apply to the A. L. Rhomberg Lot 2,
Sub. 1 of M. L. 304, A. L. Rhomberg
Lot 12 Johnston's Sub., and the Mt.
Calvary Cemetery property, Lot 1,
Sub. 2 of M. L. 307. It is believed
on the first two that valuations are
not high enough and no valuation is
listed on the cemetery property.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Corrected June 15, 1934, by fur-
ther reduction in the assessment of
Lot 1, Barry's Sub., of Mrs. Ida M.
Higgins of $133.20 making said as-
sessment $227.22 as against $360.42
as approved June 5, 1934.

City Manager.

Council met at 7:00 P. M.
Present—Mayor Kane, Councilmen
Andelfinger, Jaeger, Schiltz.
Absent — Councilman Thompson,
deceased, and City Manager Evans.
Meeting called by order of Mayor
Kane and Councilman Andelfinger.
Mayor Kane read the call and
stated that service thereof had been
duly made and that this meeting is
called for the purpose of adopting a
resolution of sympathy upon the no.
timely death of Councilman Ardenal
Thompson, also for the appointment
of his successor, and acting on any
other business as may properly come
before the meeting.
Resolution No. 56-34.
The tragic death of Ardenal
Thompson, a member of the govern-
ing body of the City of Dubuque,
has stunned his associates and the
entire citizenry with its horror and
suddenness. This Council has met
in Special Session for the purpose of
giving expression to our sincere sor-
row occasioned by his death and to
voice not merely our own individ.
ual appreciation of his public service
but also the appreciation of all citi-
zens of this community.
Ardenal Thompson was a good
public officer. He was sincerely in-
terested in the progress of the City
he loved. He sought always to do
what was just and right. He was
firm in his convictions. Throughout
his public career he appreciated the
full responsibility of his position and
never hesitated to perform his du-
ties sincerely and conscientiously.
He gave full measure of service.
Ardenal Thompson was elected to
this Council in 1932 as one of labor's
representatives and was serving his
first term at the time of his death.
In March, 1934, he was re-elected to
this body by the largest vote cast
for any of the candidates. In this
expression of confidence by the peo-
ple of this City and their approval
and endorsement of his service, we
recognize a high tribute to his char-
acter, his integrity and his ability.
When the hand of Almighty God was
laid upon him he was called away
from his earthly responsibilities and
endowed with his eternal reward.
Individually and as his associates
upon this Council we take this op-
portunity to express the great loss
which we and this community has
suffered by his sudden demise and
to extend our sincere sympathy to

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the daily charge for license for a
circus in the City of Dubuque the
sum required to be paid is $200.00
for the first day. It was contem.
plated that this applied to circuses
of the size of Ringling Bros, and
Haggenbeck & Wallace where seat-
ing capacity varies from 6,500 to
12,000.
On June 13th we had an applica-
tion from Barnett Bros. to hold a
circus in Dubuque on June 29th or
30th, one day only. The agent stat-
ed that his circus could not pay the
$200.00 required by the ordinance.
We find that while some of the larg.
er circuses are handled by railroad
cars varying from 30 to 50 cars, that
the size of this particular circus is
handled by 30 trucks, and seating
capacity is less than 2,000.
The individual members of the
Council were contacted by phone
and the majority agreed that we
could offer this small circus a li-
cense for $100.00 per day. Your of-
ficial action on this application is
desired.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved
that Barnett Bros. be granted per-
mission for the holding of a circus
in the City of Dubuque on the 29th
or 30th of June, 1934, and that the
charge for said license to be $100.00
for one day. Seconded by Council-
man Jaeger. Carried by the follow-
ing vote:

June 19, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On May 23rd the
writer advised the City Council of
the reported damage done to the
home of Mrs. Catherine Weber of
1906 Pierce Street by blasting last
winter on C. W. A. poor aid project
just north of said house. By action
of the Council May 23rd the matter
of this damage was referred to the
writer for investigation and report.
Accordingly, in a few days Mr.
Byrne and I made an examination
of the home and were shown by Mrs.
Weber and her son, Mr. L. A. Web-
er, the damage reported to have
been down. It was almost impos-
sible for us to ascertain as to how
much the blasting had damaged this
property. New paper had been
placed over at least two rooms with-
in the last few months and since the
blasting ceased.
It was my thought at the time to
possibly try to offer a settlement in
the case for as much as $25.00, but
Mrs. Weber and her son felt that
it would be better to have a con.
tractor made an estimate of the
actual damage performed. About a
week ago a man appeared at my
office, asking on what authority Mrs.
Weber desired an estimate. He was
advised that it was unknown to the
writer as to what authority was giv-
en him and we should try to deal
with Mrs. Weber as to what she
actually deemed was the damage per-
formed. Accordingly, today the at-
tached written statement hasbeen
presented for a total of $229.00 as
furnished by Mr. Anton Basten.
There is a grave question in the
June 25th, 1934 193
writer's mind as to whether or not
the blasting did the actual damage
as mentioned in this complete re-
pairing program.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The petition of Mrs,
Philomina Blocker, signed by John
Blocker, administrator, requesting
the construction of sanitary sewer
from their residence on Cherry
Street eastwardly on Cherry Street
to Avoca and southwardly on Avoca
to the present existing manhole at
the intersection of Delaware and
Avoca, was received by the City
Council June 5th and was referred
to the Council to view said site.
Accordingly, on June 15th the
Council viewed the location of this
request. The decision of the City
Council was that a request by Mr.
John Blocker to the City Council for
the permission to build a sanitary
sewer on the east end of Cherry
Street and on Avoca Street from
Cherry to Delaware could be pre-
sented; that the City would not
stand part of the cost of the same,
but that a sworn statement could
be filed by Mr. John Blocker to the
City Council advising of the actual
cost of said sewer construction and
that in the future if other properties
were connected with said sewer built
at the cost of Mr. John Blocker, a
proportionate charge for said addi-
tional connections would be made
on the basis of the total possible
sewer connections.

Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The verbal request of
Mrs. A. W. Newburgh as presented
to City Council June 5th with a plea
for reduction in the pumping assess-
ment in the West Dubuque sanitary
sewer district was referred to the
Council to view the ground.
Accordingly, on the afternoon of
June 15th the Council viewed this
tract of land, including about 162 ft.
on Fremont Avenue and extending
approximately 600 ft. westwardly on
Marion Street for a depth of 150 ft.
This property lies on the south side
of Marion Street. The assessment
for the sewer pumping provision on
the larger of the two tracts, namely
Lot 1 of 3, Babcock's Subdivision,
was $298.79 and on Lot 2 of 5 of
Babcock's Subdivision it was $40.74.
The Council viewed this property;
determined that no sanitary sewer
had been erected on Marion Street;
that no payments whatsoever on the
total assessment had been made and
desired that no reduction was to be
authorized.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Gentlemen: The request has been
In to the writer, through a local

D, of the Industrial Subdivision des-
gnated Rafferty Slough.
This particular area desired faces

y to Lot 3 of said block 184.051.
Charter Street abuts this property
on the south.
The price used for the sale of oth-
er sections in this Industrial Subdi-
vision has been approximately 10c
per sq. ft. The approximate area
of this 75' x 185' section is 13,941
sq. ft., which, at Joe, would make a
minimum price of $1,394.00. In ad-
dition to this, there is a paving as-

ent to $1,037.49 of which the pro.

July 19, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the special Coun-
cil meeting held July 10th a letter
from the writer was presented ad-
vising of a request to the Council to
sell to the Flynn Bros. of Dubuque
the southerly 75.63, section of Lot
1 of Block D of the Industrial Sub-
division of Rafferty Slough. The
requested area desired was approx-
imately 75' x 184' along the north
side of Charter Street. This matter
was referred to the Council to view
the ground.
Accordingly, on Thursday after-
noon, July 12th, Mayor Kane, Coun-
cilmen Schiltz and Jaeger viewed
this site and after careful deter.
mination made the decision that it
was not practical to sell a portion
of Lot 1 of Block D which faced
Locust Street and on the side was
adjacent to Charter Street as this
would quite likely involve a detri-
ment to the sale of Block D. The
request was denied.
The members of the Council pres-
ent were then shown a triangular
section fronting on South Locust
Street north of this particular loca-
tion, designated Lot 1 of 6, 2 of 6
and 3 of 6 of City Lot 551. The
frontage on Locust Street of this
particular triangle is approximate-
ly 1501, with a depth to Harrison
Street of approximately 2641 on the
north line and approximately 287'
on the south line. The approximate
area of this triangle is 19,000+
sq. ft.
After viewing this particular tri-
angle and ascertaining that it was
at the north end of the entire Raf-
ferty Slough property owned by the
City and that the sale of this pro-
perty would not injure any adja-
cent property, the Council deter-
mined that the property should be
offered for sale at the general rate
of 10c per sq. ft. which has applied
to other properties sold in Rafferty
Slough, with a slight reduction be-
cause of the triangular area in-
volved and the fact that practically
no front exists at the rear of the
lot abutting Harrison Street. Ac-
cordingly, the price set on this pro-
posed triangle was $1,900.00. The
Flynn Bros. were advised of this
decision and it is their request that
the property designated by the
above description be authorized to
be sold to them at once for $1,900.00.
The City Engineer has made a
careful survey of the entire area
south and north of this particular
triangle and the determination has
been that the frontage on Locust
Street has been slightly decreased.
The corners of the entire area have
been staked and the property is still
desired by the Flynn Bros.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved
that the sale of said property be
authorized to be made to Flynn Bros.
at the price stated and the City So-
licitor be instructed to prepare the
necessary deed for said transaction
and the Mayor and Clerk directed
to execute said deed on behalf of
the City of Dubuque. Seconded by
Councilman Roberts. Carried by the
following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen
Andelfinger, Jaeger, Roberts and
Schiltz.
Nays—None.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A petition, dated July
9, 1934, was presented to the City
Council on July 19th, 1934, signed
by W. A. Franzen, et al, requesting
that the parking regulations on the
east side of Iowa Street from 11th
to 13th Streets be changed to a diag-
onal angle system. Complaint was in-
cluded, stating that except during
market hours in the morning, a seri-
ous hardship was encumbered on
property owners, tenants and custom-
ers by reason of the required park-
ing system, parallel to the curb.
This matter was referred to the
City Manager for investigation and
report.
Accordingly, the following data is
presented from Chief Giellis, Mr. Mc-
Carthy and the' writer.
For years the farmers and huck-
sters have been allowed to park at
right angles to the east curb of Iowa
Street from 11th to 13th Streets,
conditioned on the front of cars or
trucks facing the center of Iowa
Street. At the City owned apace,
south of 13th Street, seven (7) sPac-
es are now rented. In front of stores
and offices
owa
Street from the tI
alley of 13th
Street, southwardly to 11th Street,
the farmers made definite yearly ar-
rangements with the individrent-
ers or owners of all property nt-
right angle, backed -in catkin market
space
up to 12:00 A-4
days. Such space is paid for by the
farmers to the respective Iowa
Street owners or renters, which, in
certain cases, now amounts to as
much as $22.50 Per year per vehicle.
l.
Formerly $50.00 per year, P
ve-
hicle, was Paid in certain cases.
If diagonal parking of the farmers'
trucks would be required, the maxi-
mum number of such (,kq would
be reduced about 357, and the d1ag-
would extend out toward the middle,

Property toin the itory south 11th Street,of the City
on the east
side of Iowa Street, over one-half
block additional would be necessary
to provide diagonal parking for the
present number of farmers' trucks.
Diagonal parking is dangerous, es-
pecially from the standpoint of cus-
tomers' cars. The customer would
head the front of his or her auto-
mobile next the curb and would later
back out, in this particularly con.
gested district, into the path of on-
coming, northbound traffic.
The recommendations on this
queston are as follows:
(1) fomes to backue eplan for in at right the
to curb, as at present.
(2) To continue the present parallel
to curb parking lines and en-
force such parallel parking gen-
erally, except during market
hours.
(3) To Permit no cars, trucks or
wagons, after market hours, to
head into the curb, diagonally.
(4) However, to permit the local
merchant, or owner, to back in-
to the curb diagonally, especial-
ly after market hours, during
the temporary period required to
load or unload large trucks, con-
ditioned that the position o
such truck on the east side o
Iowa Street shall not be directly
opposite a n o t h e r diagonally
backed truck on the west side o
Iowa Street in front of the sev
eral wholesale industries b
tween 11th and 13th Streets o
said west side of Iowa Street
The Police have been permitting
for years, large trucks to back int
the curb for the period of time ne
essary to load or unload at certai
localities of the industrial and co
mercial sections of the city. As Ion
as the front of the trucks is head
to«^ard the center of the street,
very serious danger to approachi
traffic is apparent when the true
again starts to move.
It is felt that the present situ
tion, as modified by suggestion
4, will relieve the merchants on t
east• side of Iowa Street, also w
not interfere with the wholes
merchants on the west side of Io
i
Street and will not interfere w
fire trucks and general traffic

would. Iowa Street between 1
and 13th Streets, 40' from curb
30th, 1934
curb, is not really wide enough to
permit general diagonal parking on
the conditions of cars or trucks
backing out, away from the curb, in-
to moving, approaching traffic.
If this report is acceptable to the
City Council, no legislative action is
necessary. The Police will cooperate
with the merchants to permit diag-
onal loading and unloading. Every
effort will be stressed to Provide
safe and beneficial parking regula-
tions to the merchants.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Gentlemen: Mr. C. J. Gassman,
In connection with Board of Health
action of July 30, 1934, says that
he has no money to pay for sewer
connections on Eagle Street.
A private sewer built there years
ago would cost him $150.00 plus
cost of sanitary connection from
sewer to his house.
He agrees that if a contract is
let for this Job and the cost is as-
sessed to him for payments in years
to come, that it would be satisfac-
tory to him. However, he wants
the contractor, who takes the Job,
to give at least one of his grown
boys a chance to work on the dig-
ging for the sewer connection.
He only wants one toilet installed
and one water pipe leading to toilet
at this time.
Yours very truly,

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Yesterday morning
Mr. Oliver Kringle stopped me on
Main Street and advised that he had
objections to a new railroad track
being constructed and used on Syca-
more Street. Mr. Kringle advised
that he had recently purchased three
houses on the west side of Sycamore
Street just north of 18th Street.
While the members of the City
Council were viewing this proposed
railroad track location yesterday
afternoon, Mr. Kringle also handed
to Councilman Peter Schiltz a list
of persons objecting to this proposed
railroad track. The petition is here-
with attached.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Lot 27 in Block 26, Dubuque Harbor
Improvement Company's Addition to
the City of Dubuque, for the im-
provement of Fourth Street exten-
sion, levied October 19, 1916, the
City paying the sum of $72.45.
Only July 13, 1925, the City re-
ceived a Treasurer's deed from Mr.
C. E. Mullin, County Treasurer,
which deed was filed for record July
18, 1925. On January 4, 1927, J. H.
Rhomberg, deceased, purchased the
tax sale certificate against the afore-
said property for the delinquent reg-
ular tax of 1924 and 1925, also pay-
ing a subsequent tax on April 27,
1927.
I have since learned from the
Township Assessor, George Bennett,
that the value of this lot is placed
at $72.00.
On January 26, 1926, Mary E.
Waller, to whom this property was
assessed before purchase by the City
of Dubuque, gave to the aforesaid
J. H. Rhomberg, deceased, a quit
claim deed, which was filed for rec-
ord January 15, 1926. At the time of
making of this deed to J. H. Rhom-
berg, deceased, the City of Dubuque
was then owner of this property,
having received a Treasurer's deed
from the County on July 13, 1925.
Mr. J. Anthony Rhomberg, admin.
istrator of the estate of J. H. Rhom-
berg, deceased, is now serving notice
on the City of Dubuque to redeem
this property or at the expiration of
ninety (90) days he will claim title.
I am setting out these facts and
attaching hereto the notice of re-
demption for your consideration.
The cost of redemption as of OctO-
ber 1st, 1934, amounts to $19.63.
Yours very truly,
OTTO F.PULS,
City Treasurer.
Councilman Jaeger moved that the
City redeem Lot 27 in Block 26 in

To the Honorable Mayor and Cit,
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The question of th
request dated September 4, 1934, for
the continued Agricultural Exemp-
tion on certain portions of the Bunk-
er Hill Golf Course, owned by Mr.
L. B. Estabrooks, was referred to
the City Manager for a report by
action of the City Council, Septem-
ber 4, 1934.
On November 21, 1927, a petition
from Mr. L. B. Estabrooks was sub-
mitted to the Council requesting
Agricultural Exemption on the fol-
lowing tracts: Min. Lot No. 189
(17.25 acres), part of M. L. 265 (12.05
acres), M. L. 200 (19.63 acres), M. L.
202 (12 acres), part of M. L. 201
(5.03 acres), M. L. 340 (18.35 acres),
or total acreage of 84.31 acres. The
action of the Council was that the
request be referred to the City So-
licitor for report.
Accordingly, at the meeting of
March 27, 1928, Mr. Czizek recom-
mended that certain portions of the
area petitioned to be exempt were
entitled to Agricultural Exemption,
while other parts were not. The
tracts recommended and authorized
by Council for Agricultural Exemp-
tion March 27, 1928, were M. L. 200
(19.63 acres), M. L. 1 of 189 (17.25
acres), Lot 1 of 265, Lot 1 of 202,
and part of Lot 201 (22.51 acres) or
a total of 59.39 acres.
Again on December 4, 1928 the
same question was presented to
Council. The action taken was that
the same Agricultural Exemption be
continued for 1928 as was authorized
for the 1927 taxes.
Mr. Estabrooks advised today that,
since his original petition and auth-
orization by Council portions of var-
ious tracts belonging to him had
been taxed on Agricultural Exemp
tion basis until the 1933 levy for 1934
taxes.
On August 7, 1933, the Budget of
Expenditures for the year 1934 was
revised by the striking off of the
Agricultural Exemptions on Mr. Es-
tabrooks' tracts including M. L. 200,
M. L. 189, Lot 1 of M. L. 265, Lots
1 and 2 of 202, including a total
acreage of 48.72 acres. Other form.
er Agricultural Exemptions were al-
so eliminated at this time.
At a conference with the Assess-
ors September 8th, Mr. Bennett
showed facts that the Assessors had
placed valuations on all the Esta.
brook property without Agricultural
Exemptions. The Council had pre-
viously adjusted, yearly, the certain
area exempt, but the Assessors were
not advised of the exemptions.
It was ascertained that in the As-
sessor's records a reduction in Esta-

Mr. Estabrooks reports that his
total taxes for the portions of the
Golf Course land within the City,
(part of his tract, including his
home, is beyond city limits) and as
follows:
1931 Levy for 1932 Taxes ...... $205.82
1932 Levy for 1933 Taxes...... 197.06
1933 Levy for 1934 Taxes...... 243.34
Mr. Dstabrooks stated that his
first nine holes were opened for use
June 17, 1927; the second nine holes
were started in July, 1927, and op-
ened for use in June, 1928.
Mr. Estabrooks further stated that
his estimate of the use of his 86
acres within the city includes 41.0
acres for golf; 40.0 acres of timber
In various locations and 5.0 acres
of non -used land. He stated that
xto cows were pastured on his land,
but hay along the rough in the fair-
ways had amounted to as much as
6 tons in 1932, but none this year.
The hay was used by Mr. Bradley.
The request of September 4, 1934;
for Agricultural Exemption on the
lots including
Mineral Lot 200 ..................19.63 Acres
Mineral Lot 189 ..................17.25 Acres
Lot 1 of M. L. 202............ 5.47 Acres
Lot 2 of M. L. 202............ 6.67 Acres
Total ................................49.02 Acres
The present request for Agricul-
tural Exemption is 49/86 of the total
tract while the exemption of 1927
and 1928 were 59/96 of the total.
There may be a legal question of the
division of Lots 1 and 2 of M. L. 202,
both less than 10.0 acres. The sta-
tlttPs (6210) provide that no exemp-
tion is permitted on tracts under 10.0
acres of area and same must be used
for farming purpose or preservation
of timber (2605). No map is avail-
able of the specific location of the 18
golf holes. it is estimated that each
and every one of the various tracts
contains one or more golf holes.
Slight variations exist in the various
acreage.
This question rests with the Coun-
cil. In August, 1933, the previous
exemptions were first denied, since
1.927, by the City Council action.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In accordance with
the authorized agreement of May 7,
1934, between the City and Mr. Nich-
olas Welbes for the use of Welbes'
playground field up to September
4, 1934, for the sum of $50.00, please
be advised that the time limit of
the playground use of this private
property has expired. The children
of the west end are still using this
field and Mr. Welbes objects to con-
tinued use.
At a conference today with Mr.
Welbes and Mr. Syl. McCauley, Mr.
Welbes finally agreed to permit the
use of his land for football, skating
and other recreational features for
the next eight (8) months, or to
May 1, 1935, for the sum of fifty
($50.00) dollars, which is the sante
amount paid to hien for four months
of use this summer.
Within the last few days several
requests and complaints have been
filed to secure the Welbes tract
for playground purposes this fall
and this winter.
Mr. Welbes was advised that if
the City Council did approve and
authorize the further use of his tract,
that likely no payment for the same
could be made until next spring.
The playground situation in the
west end of the City is critical. If
this tract can be used, it will pro-
vide a safe location for many hun-
dreds of children this fall and
winter.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Jaeger moved that
authority be granted for the rent-
ing of Welbes Field for an addi-
tional 8 Month period till May 1st,

ation Fund when appropriation is

tain city street crossings of railroad
lines to electrically operated Bash-
ing signals operating 24 hours per
day.
Information was also given, indi-
rectly, that possibly all the local
Railroad Companies favored the use
of the modern electric flashing sig-
nal system and that possibly a flash-
ing signal system could be secured
at all street crossings, whereas at
present many street crossings are
entirely unprotected and some other
crossings have a flagman only at cer-
tain hours of the day and at cer-
tain times of the year. Special dang-
erous conditions exist at East 16th,
East 17th, Lincoln Avenue, 29th
Street, etc.
In a copy of a letter at hand from
Mr. T. H. McDonald, Chief of Bureau
of Public Roads, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, to District Engineers,
it is stated that the Joint Committee
on Grade Crossing Protection of the
American Railway Association ap-
proves certain types of electric
flashing signals with additional stop
signs in case of current failure. This
committee favors uniform signals
that have already proved success-
ful and efficient in actual service.
In the City of Des Moines, Iowa,
also at DeWitt, Iowa, several cross-
ings have recently been changed to
the electric type. In Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ohio and Pennsylvania many
electric signs are now in service
at main crossings where fast rhov.
ing trains cross Federal Highways.
The cost and maintenance of all
the possible new electric signals at
all city railroad crossings would be
up to the individual railroad, or in
a few cases, to two or more rail.
roads involved at certain crossings.
The questions to be considered
are whether or not the City Coun-
cil would favor this change of some.
what antiquated protection service
to the modern type; whether or not
the ordinance should be changed re.
quiring electric signals at present
gate and watchman locations and at
Possibly all crossings in the City;
and whether or not the local rail-
road companies will agree to this
change at this time.
It is suggested that this electric
signal service be investigated and
secured if possible for increased
safety to every grade crossing in
our City.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the $75,000.00 transfer from the
Dubuque Bonded Debt Sinking Fund,
it seems absolutely necessary that
an application be made to the State
Comptroller for permission to delay
the repayment of this transfer for
another year.
The City Council, on January 15,
1934, authorized the application, by
Resolution to the State Comptroller,
for permission to temporarily trans-
fer $75,000.00 from the Bonded Debt
Sinking Fund as follows:—
—AL
Special Session, October 8th, 1934 291
(a) $55,000.00 to the Consolidated
Fund.
(b) $20,000.00 to the Fire Main.
tenance Fund.
On January 16, 1934, Mr, C. B.
Murtagh, State Comptroller, ap•
proved the transfer, conditioned up.
on (1) the City not using more of
the $75,000.00 approved transfer
than was absolutely necessary and
(2) that definite plans be made to
return this money during the year
1934, in order that every possible
effort be made to retire bonds when
the same shall become due.
The reason for the requested
transfer in January, 1934, and the
present reason for the desired de.
lay in repaying the $75,000.00 to
the Sinking Fund is entirely due
to the delinquency in tax collections.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In response to the in-
structions of the City Council made
several months ago that the City
Manager investigate and report on
certain conditions of the Interstate
Power Company regarding (1) the
number of and availability of the dif-
ferent rates for light and power in
the City of Dubuque, (2) general
facts concerning valuations, rev-
enues and costs of the Interstate
Power Company and (3) a summary
of recent light and power rate re-
ductions, including also the possibil-
ity of additional reductions as have
been promised at such time as may
be possible, please be advised as
follows:
COOPERATION
The officials of the Interstate Pow-
er Company, for several weeks, have
co6perated in every possible way to-
ward preparation and presentation
of data and facts, as you have re-
quested.
Certain of data on revenue, costs,
savings by rate reductions has been
prepared in detail by the Interstate
Power Company officials. Mr. George
Taylor and Mr. Chas. Dove both ad-
vise that their entire records are
open to the City Council for check
and examination, if so desired.
(1) NUMBER OF RATES IN
EFFECT
Upon examination of the Council
Records of the City of Dubuque, the
following public Light 'and Power
Rates, all of which have been re-
duced once, or several times since
1930, are on file and have had the
last approral as stated below by the
City Council:
(A) Small Residence Lighting Rate
—13y Ordinance, Jan. 22, 1934.
(B) Optional Residence L i g h t 1 n g
Rate — By Ordinance Jan. 22,
1934.
(C) Commercial Lighting Rate—By

There is also on file a Special City
Water Department Rate, effective
since July 1, 1924.
Certain other rates are in effect
for services by the Interstate Power
Company, in all cases of which the
costs to the consumers are less than
the above maximum rates approved
by the City Council. A complete list
of the light and power rates in use,
but not in our file, including the
number of customers within the City
on each rate, is as follows:

IOWA STATUTE PROVISIONS
(1931 Code)
"6143. Regulation of rates and ser-
vice. They shall have power to re-
quire every individual or private
corporation operating such works or
Plant, subject to reasonable rules
and regulations, to furnish any per-
son applying therefor, along the line
of its pipes, mains, wires, or other
conduits, with gas, heat, water, light,
or power, ;and to supply said city or
town with water for fire protection,
and with gas, heat, water, light, or
Power for other necessary public
Purposes and to regulate and fix the
rent or rate for water, gas, heat,
light, or power; to regulate and fix
the rents or rates of water, gas, heat,
and electric light or power; to reg-
ulate and fix the charges for water
meters, gas meters, electric light or
Power meters, or other device or
means necessary for determining the
consumption of water, gas, heat,
electric light or power, and these
Powers shall not be abridged by or-
dinance, resolution, or contract."
t
cial Session, October 8th, 1934
In accordance with the above Sec-
tion of the Code in which the City
Council has the power to regulate
and to fix the rates for electric
light and power, it is apparent that
all rates for light and power should
be considered and approved by the
City Council and should remain on
file for general information.
Another question that has been
considered is the fact that certain
rate reductions, as approved by the
City Council on Dec. 22, 1930, and
January 4, 1932, were in the form of
letters describing the reductions and
the action of the City Council was
by a motion in 1930 and by a Reso-
lution in 1932 to approve the same.
Later, on January 22, 1934, certain
further reductions were authorized
by the City Council by an Ordin-
ance. ........................................
RECOMMENDATIONS ON LIGHT
AND POWER RATES
A. That all rates now in effect, as at
present, approved by motions or
Resolutions of the Council, be fur-
ther authorized by Ordinance.
B. That each and every special rate
now in effect, and not filed with
the City Council, be submitted to
the City Council and be author-
ized by an Ordinance.
293
C. That hereafter no special rate for
new or increased or any service
be permitted to be entered into
until the same has been sub-
mited to the City Council and
approved.
D. That hereafter all revisions in
any and all rates for light and
power shall be required to be
submitted to and approved by the
City Council, prior to the use of
service and approved by Ordin-
ance.
The aim of the above recommen-
dations is to guarantee that all users
of current in each and all classes of
the same use shall be billed at the
same rate basis and that all rates in
effect shall be approved by the Coun-
cil, as is required by law.
It has been learned from officials
of the Interstate Power Company
that their action has been to elim-
inate special rates, since their pos-
session of the Dubuque light and
power interests in 1924. In 1924 there
were numerous separate and special
rates in effect for power. The pres-
ent plan of elimination of special
rates is in strict accordance with an
agreement made by Mr. George Tay-
lor with the City Council, under for-
mer Mayor Wm. Meuser's adminis-
tration in 1930.

Balance, $204,220.28, Divided by Valuations in Dubuque (2-13) (includ-
ing $100,000 working capital, totalling $5,155,651.13) = 3.96%.
Estimated Return on Investment on Basis of the following described
Two Rate Reductions offered (viz. Oct. 1, 1934 and April 1, 1935) on
Commercial Lighting = $204,220.28.
less estimated loss in revenue by reductions equal to $25,500.00 = net
amount available for interest = $178,720.28 or a factor of 3.46 +%
return on investment.
The present 3.96% of return on investment, and, due to the later de-
scribed rate reductions reducing the same factor to 3.460/c is much less
than the factor of return that is necessary to meet bond interest alone.
No allowance was made for additional costs and losses, not above
mentioned, including
amortization of old trolley system, and costs of moving towers,
Poles and wires for new Air Port site which last item exceeded
$8,000.
F. COMPARISON OF INCOME TO TOTAL LOCAL EXPENSES.
Facts are available and can be investigated to the extent that local
gross revenue from customers within the City received by the Inter-
state Power Company is less yearly than payrolls, taxes and local pur-
chases paid by the same company in Dubuque, Iowa.
III—RATES
A. RATE REDUCTIONS TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1934
In accordnace with instructions from the City Council received by the
writer in the fall of 1930, investigations were made, conferences held with
the Interstate Power officials and a reduction in all filed rates was sub.
mitted to and approved by City Council on December 22, 1930.
Later, another set of reductions in Residence Lighting, Optional Resi-
dence Lighting, Commercial Lighting and City Street Lighting was obtained
and approved by City Council January 4, 1932.
Again on January 22, 1934, a reduction in Residence Lighting and Op-
tional Residence Lighting Rates, together with a reduction in penalty from
$•01 per K.W.H. to 10% of bill for both the Residence and Optional rates
was Presented and approved by the City Council.
In December 1930 a promise was made by Mr. George Taylor that, as
t
Special Session, October lith, 1934 29;
quickly as possible, light and power rates would be reduced in Dubuque.
Since 1930, three reductions in each of Residence and Optional Rates, to.
gether with changes in penalties on both, one reduction in Small Power
Rate, two reductions in Commercial Lighting and reductions in Street
Lighting Cost have produced the following savings: -
SAVINGS BY CUSTOMERS AND TAXPAYERS THROUGH
LIGHT AND POWER REDUCTIONS
From January 1, 1931 to August 31, 1934
Savings in Residence Lighting (Small ............... $120,170.84
(Optional
Savings in Commercial Lighting 40,034.70
Savings in Small Power ._........................................ 5,577.01)
Savings in Large Power ........................................... 39,498.57
Savings in Street Lighting ................. ..... .......... . 11,166.40
TOTAL ACCRUED SAVINGS OBTAINED IN 44
MONTHS................................................................ $216,447.59
The Savings to customers for the last 12 months on present basis of
Usage and Equipment as Compared to Rates in Effect Dec. 1930, amounts
to approximately $100,000.00 per year. The proposed two reductions of
$25,500 In Commercial Lighting will increase this reduction per year to
approximately $125,000.
The results, since 1930, in Residence Lighting reductions apply to the
greatest number of customers and the largest factor of revenue. The pro-
posed savings in Commercial Lighting will also apply to the next largest
factor of revenue from present service.

CONCLUSION
It is the writer's recommendation
that the proposed two (2) Commer-
cial Lighting Reduced Rates, as
above outlined and described, be ap.
proved by the City Council by Or-
dinance.
With splendid co-operation from
the present officials of the Inter-
state Power Company, my opinion
based on present new promises and
assurances from those in authority,
is that additional reductions in var-
ious classes of rates will be made
as quickly as conditions and earn-
ing shall warrant. Even at this
time, further studies are being made
in an attempt to forcast future
changes in certain other rates.
Yours very truly,

October 19, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with the
report from the City Manager dated
October 6th, which was referred to
the City Council October 8th, please
be advised that the action to the
City Council is as follows:
The City Solicitor, Mr. Czizek, has
prepared an Ordinance fixing rates
for light and power service which
will apply to each and every custom-
er in the City of Dubuque from and
after October 1, 1934, and one spe-
Lial rate for commercial lighting that
will be effecteive April 1, 1935.
These detailed rates have been
carefully checked. The officials from
the Interstate Power Company have
made the statement that absolutely
no increase in any rate has occurred
I verify this statement after a care
ful check.
My analysis of the entire rate or
dinance includes the following infor
mation :
Rates that have been previous13
filed with the City Council includ(
the following schedules: 1, 2, 6-a
6-b, 7 and 9. Rates that have no'
been previously filed with the Coun
cil include schedules 3, 4, 5, 8, 10
11 and 12.
DESCRIPTION
SCHEDULE. 1.
RESIDENCE SERVICE.
Includes a statement as follows
"Where residence service is meas
u•ed to apartment buildings through
)ne meter, service shall be billed at
:he residence service rate, the blocks
A energy of which shall be multi-
plied by the number of apartments
served, etc." This has never been
stated previously, but there has been
a statement as follows: "The resi-
dence lighting rate shall apply strict-
ly to single homes or single apart-
ments." No change is apparent in
Schedule 1 since March 1934.
SCHEDULE 2.
RESIDENCE SERVICE—
OPTIONAL
The same notation on blocks of
energy is included in the optional
residence service as is in the resi-
dence service Schedule 1. The same
previously mentioned description
that optional service includes only
single family homes is also in prev-
ious statements on rate reductions.
No change is apparent in Schedule 2
since March 1934.
SCHEDULE 3.
COMMERCIAL SERVICE—
OPTIONAL
This rate provision includes cer-
tain commercial service where pow-
er service is included therewith not
in excess of one horsepower. This is
a new rate schedule. However, the
costs of current and the minimum in
Schedule 3 is exactly the same as in
Schedule 2 above mentioned and op-
tional service was applicable to sev-
eral commercial institutions as men-
tioned in Ordinance 2-34 passed Jan-
uary 22, 1934.
SCHEDULE 4.
RESIDENCE WATER HEATING
SERVICE
This rate was never filed before
with the City Council.
SCHEDULE 5.
COMMERCIAL WATER HEATING
SERVICE.
This rate was never filed before
with the City Council.
SCHEDULE 6-a.
COMMERCIAL SERVICE.
Includes the described rate reduc-
tion effective October 1, 1934, for
commercial service. In addition to
the reduction in energy service,
there is also a new clause ill this
schedule which reduces the former
1c per KWH penalty for non-pay-
ment within ten days from date of
bill to a fiat 10`70 cpenalty harge,
on the
basis of the energyharg
SCHEDULE 6-b.
C0?4MERCIAL SERVICE.
includes the second revision in the
Commercial Service that will be of
fective APril 1, 1935. This also in
M1
al Session, October 19th, 1934
eludes the continued reduction in
the penalty clause on the basis of
the 10% rather than the le per
KWH.
SCHEDULE 7.
GENERAL POWER SERVICE
Includes no change in the energy
charges, but does include a reduction
In the minimum monthly bill effec-
tive October 1, 1934, by which the
former minimum of $1.00 per horse-
power of installed equipment has
been reduced to $1.00 per horse-
power of installed equipment up to
and including the first 5 horsepower
and thereafter 50c per horsepower.
Additional reduction in this Sche-
dule 7 also includes the change in
penalty to 10% of the energy rate
rather than le per KWH.
SCHEDULE S.
COU1fERCIAL REFRIGERATION
SERVICE.
This is a new rate which has nev.
er been filed. before with the City
Council.
SCHEDULE 9.
INDUSTRIAL POWER SERVICE.
No change in the demand or en-
ergy charges is included. This rate
was effective in January 1931. How-
ever, in the minimum monthly bill
the minimum has been reduced from
$1.00 per connected horsepower or
fraction thereof to 50c per horse-
power or fraction thereof.
SCHEDULE 10.
LARGE. INDUSTRIAL POWER
SERVICE.
This rate was never filed before
with the City Council.

S'T'ONE QUARRY POWER

This rate was never filed before

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Sealed bids were re-
ceived from four (4) companies up
to 11:00 A. M. today in regard to
our requested prices for a new
Tractor and Bulldozer. Our present
second hand, 8 -year-old 60 H. P.
Caterpillar and Bulldozer is broken
down and will likely cost about
$1500 to repair. It seems very nec-
essary to consider the purchase of
a new, modern, but smaller tractor
and bulldozer for necessary use of
opening snow drifts in the residen-
tial sections this winter and for im-
mediate use at the Airport.
For your information, there are
available for study and comparison,
five sheets of detailed specifications
submitted by the individual bidders
today, also a copy of the Nebraska
State tests made on the same foul
models on which prices were
,submitted.

ment plan ..........................$3,820.00
3. Bid of the Austin -Western Road

pany's Model "Cletrac"-35—Hill-
side, wide -tread, 44.2 H.P. at draw

ental Roll and Steel Foundry

buque for $4,627.10, less trade-in

ferred payment plan ........ $3,827.10
4. Bid of the J. D. Adams Co., In-
dianapolis, Ind., by C. C. Antle of
Waterloo, for 1 New Inter-
national Harvester Company's

on deferred payment $3,833.20
plan............................
Prior to requesting the bids on
these four outstanding units, all bid-
ders were advised that it was neces-
sary to defer all payments on the
leasing of equipment as follows:
50% of the net price of the ac-
cepted bid to be paid on or before
May 1, 1935.
312 Regular Session, November 5th, 1934
50%, of the net price of the ac-
cepted bid to be paid on or be-
fore May 1, 1936.
Accordingly, all bids were based
on the above outlined method of de-
ferred payment.
The bids received are all from re-
liable and competent companies
who have made this equipment for
several years.
The lowest bid, viz. Allis-Chalmers
W. H. Tractor, includes only a 15"
tread on each of the two tracks.
All three other bids quoted on 16"
widths. It is stated today that 16"
width track can be secured at very
little additional cost, as even 18"
wide tracks would cost only $15.00
more than the 15" tracks.
Certain other minor comparative
features in other makes of tractors
and bulldozers might appear slightly
more beneficial. However, due to
the fact that the Allis-Chalmer's bid
Is over $400.00 less than the next
lowest bid, and due to the fact that
tractor parts for replacement can be
secured from Des Moines, or Spring-
field, 111., at the plant, on 24-hour
service and bulldozer parts also
from Springfield, Ill., at the plant
there, and due to the fact that there
are over 300 No. 35 models in opera-
tion in Iowa at this time, the writer
does accordingly, respectively rec-
ommend the purchase of the Allis-
Chalmers Tractor and Baker Bull-
dozer, the lowest bid submitted.
We wish to thank all the bidders
for the wonderful cooperation and
Information submitted by them on
various trips taken at their expense.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Roberts moved to re-
ject all bids and that the City Man-
ager be instructed to draft instruc-
tions for separate bids for the pur-
chase of a Tractor and Bulldozer.

November 19, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The Main Street pav-.
Ing contract was awarded to the K-
M Supply Co. in the fall of 1933 and
the wage scale, according to P.W.A.
regulations, was 50c per hour for
common labor, $1.20 per hour for
skilled labor and no wage rates set
for semi -skilled labor.
At the time Mr. Mulgrew started
the construction of the Main Street
improvement, he was required to
submit to Mr. P. F. Hopkins, P.W.A.
Engineer at Des Moines, and Mr. E.
Boeke, P.W.A. Federal Inspector on
this project, the hourly wage scale
he proposed to pay semi -skilled la-
bor. Mr. Mulgrew did as requested
and his rate for cement finisher,
classed as semi -skilled labor, was
60c per hour. The semi -skilled rates,
as submitted by the K -M Supply Co.
were approved by Mr. Hopkins on
April 7th, 1934, and by Mr. Boeko on
April 9th, 1934.
The K -M Supply Co. completed
their portion of the contract and
paid 75c per hour to cement finisher
which was 15c per hour more than
the minimum required.
At about the time that Mr. JameE
Lee, sub -contractor, started construe
tion on the last block of Main Street
both the contractor and the City o1
Dubuque received word that thf
Federal Government had finally set
a wage scale for semi -skilled labor
and the rate for finisher was 80c per
hour. Up to this time the contractor
had more than compiled with al
Government requirements and, ii
my opinion, should not be require(
to pay additional compensation t(
the cement finisher.
After lengthy discussion by cor
respondence between myself and thi
Government, Mr. Hopkins came ti
Dubuque in August and we diE
cussed the situation for severs
hours and he wrote to Washington,
giving our side of the story.
Included in the Government de-
mand was the requirement that we
pay our engineers and inspectors,
who were regular City employees re-
ceiving a fixed salary per month,
$1.20 per hour to which we objected
and this requirement was finally
waived, but they still insist that we
have the contractor pay the 80c rate
and are holding up the pavement of
$1,000.00 of our 30% grant until such
payment amounting to $87.00 is
made and certified to them.
I discussed the situation with Mr.
Czizek and Mr. Evans Saturday, No-
vember 17th, and Mr. Czizek agrees
with me that the contractor should
not be required to pay the additional
amount, and that the City of Du-
buque could legally pay this in-
creased cost to the contractor and
in this manner clear up the situation
and the City of Dubuque would re-
ceive the $1,000.00 that is being
withheld.
Attached are Mr. Hopkins' letter
to Mr. R. M. Evans and Mr. A. H.
Martin's letter from Washington, D.
C. Also a detailed copy of the under-
payment for the various types of
labor.
Mr. M. H. Czizek will give you his
opinion on how the City of Dubuque
can pay the difference in hourly
wage rates.
Very truly yours,
W. H. CULLEN,
City Engineer.
Councilman Schiltz moved that

November 15, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On November 12, 1934,
the letter to the City Council from
Reverend L. Salzmann, dated No-
vember 7th, in connection with the
request to give aid to Miss Rosine
Durand on tax questions, was re-
ferred to the writer for investigation
and report.
Today, after my investigation, it is
Special Session, November 23rd, 1934 329
apparent that the letter very clearly
outlines the conditions faced by the
very aged and deserving Miss Dur-
and. Miss Durand advised me of cer-
tain specific information today, as
follows:
She is 83 years old, very small,
stooped and weak. However, she,
alone, is caring for her bedridden
brother-in-law, Mr. George Hoefler,
aged 80 years, who has been con-
fined to bed at Miss Durand's home
for the last seven months.
Miss Durand .stated that she has
no money, but that she does not owe
many bills. This property is now
willed to her niece, Mrs. A. A.
Thome, 308 East 5th Street, Rock
Falls, Ill. Miss Durand stated that
she had paid $1,550 for this Elm
Street property about 1924 and no
mortgage now exists on said one-
half lot and small house. The lot is
about 25 feet wide. The small, two
story, frame home is located near
the alley, west of Elm Street. The
front portion of the one-half lot near
Elm Street is vacant except for gar-
den. The City record of year 1932
for assessed valuation is $900.00.
Mr. Allen Daykin assisted at the
Court House in obtaining the follow-
ing information on taxes:—
Taxes up to 1928 must have been
exempted as no prior delinquency
existed at the year 1928.
The 1928 levy was exempted by
the Board of Review.
The 1929 levy of $32.40 was not
paid by Miss Durand and had not
been cancelled or suspended. These
taxes, with penalties, were paid by
the Ed. Muntz Estate at a total sum
of'$35.09. Again in 1931 the 1930 levy
amounting to $33.41 was also paid
by the Muntz Estate, together with
a special assessment of $8.81, or a
total paid by the Muntz Estate equal
to $77.31. The 1931 and 1932 levies
were also exempted by the Board of
Review.
Special assessments still unpaid
on this property include: Yearly as-
sessments due in 1933 and 1934 for
the paving of Elm Street, City Fund
No. 649, amounting to $17.54 which
includes interest to December 1st,
1934. No other unpaid special as-
sessments are recorded against this
property.
After a visit with Mr. Alfred C.
Cartigny this afternoon, Mr. Car-
tigny advised that it was not in-
tended to force Miss Durand from
her home and that the Muntz Estate
had agreed to accept from the Coun-
ty or City the amount of actual cash,
with interest, that they had invested
in the total payments.
Today Mr. J. J. Shea advised of
the receipt of a further request to
suspend the 1933 levy and for 1934
taxes. It would seem that suspen-
sion should be considered by the
City Council, due to the willing of
the property in the future to Miss
Durand's niece.
If Council and the Board of Super-
visors can be advised that legally
they can pay the principal of $77.31,
plus interest to the Muntz Estate
and then suspend these taxes, to-
gether with penalties for the tax lev-
ies of 1929, 1930 and possibly 1933,
and charge all such suspensions to
the S. % of Lot 138, East Dubuque
Addition, Miss Durand will be great-
ly pleased. If such a plan is impos-
sible, it would seem that Mr. Car-
tigny's promise to not try to secure
this property while Miss Durand is
able to live there would still be suf-
ficient to assure Miss Durand that
she will have her property for her
own use for at least her lifetime
In case some agreement is de-
sired to be made with the Muntz
Estate, definitely agreeing in writing
that no change from their present
plans will be made so as to force
Miss Durand from her property,
please advise.
Trusting that this is the informa-
tion desired, I am,
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
P. S.—See letter of offer from the
Muntz Estate filed after my report
was written.

Evans to the City Solicitor for inves-

curb between 9th and 10th Streets.
The purpose of this request is to
prevent water, as in the past years,
from running over the low curb and
entering Mr. Mifflin's yard and cellar
the perto doesnot
f inn
t gutter
properly
the flat gu
drain the surface water, due to ac-
cumulation of ice.
This question has been presented
to the City Council before. Delay
was caused due to our belief that
the Main Street new catchbasins
330 Special Session, November 23rd, 1934
might relieve this source of rain
flooding trouble. Mr. Millin now says
that the melting of heavy snow has
been the chief trouble.
The City Manager suggests that
authority be granted to install this
catchbasin to be charged to the
present Bonded Storm Sewer Fund;
that the catchbasin be connected to
the storm sewer in Iowa Street at
a certain manhole near there.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Jaeger moved that the
recommendation of City Manager
Evans be approved. Seconded by
Councilman Roberts. Carried by the

Consideration on the final award
must be given to the entire com-
bined equipment as bid.
The lowest combined bid for Mr.
Grover Blunt includes the Tractor
made by the Allis-Chalmers Co. This
tractor is of 15" wide track tread
while the other three bids includ
stated track
Mr. Bluntthat18" wide
treads 'can be secured for $15.00 ad
ditional. The draw -bar H.P. ratin
of the Allis-Chalmers Tractor is th
highest of all the bids, viz. 49.5
H.P. as compared with Bid 2-45.F
H.P.; Bid 3-44.2 H.P. and Bid 4-
38.65 H.P. However, the lowest bid,
Allis-Chalmers, includes only three
speeds forward as compared with
five speeds forward in Bid 2. The
International Harveser Company's
Bid 2, Tractor is rated at a higher
pound pull at low speed and at high-
est speed than the Allis-Chalmers
Tractor, at lowest and highest
speeds. All the other specifications,
except Allis-Chalmers, include trans-
mission oil pumps and filters.
Regarding use of Tractors, Mr.
Blunt states that about 300 No. 35
Models are .now in use in Iowa. Mr.
Antle for the International Harves-
ter Company states that there are
over 1000 TA 40 models in use in
various states. Mr. Geo. Bock states
that there are 15,000 gasoline "Cater-
pillar" No. 35 models in use in the
world. The "Cletrac" Tractor Com-
pany at Cleveland is also a large in-
dustry and has recently sold the U.
S. Government a large order.
Regarding the use of the blade
equipment that must be attached to
the Tractor, Mr. Blunt states that
his type Gradebuilder 121-A is new
in this section and that no definite
assurance can be given that any
models are in use in this section.
However, this design has been used
in the west, but not made by the
Baker Mfg. Company.
We have data from several
sources that the Continental Trail -
builder, included in Mr. R. C. Fos-
ter's bid and that also of the Austin -
Western Company's bid has been in
use for about 8 years; that over 300
models of this type have been sold
and that after investigation, the U.
S. Forestry Service this year bought
60 new models. The LaPlante-
Choate Roadbuilder, included in Mr.
Bock's bid, is also known to be in
use for ing
Our old 60aModel included d this type.
In connection with the supply of
tractors or smaintenance of the four
the following
sources are available:
Bid 1. Allis-Chalmers Co.—$70,000
in stock parts carried in Des
Moines, Iowa, including about 24-

ried to extent of $20,000 at Cedar
Rapids; Factory at Peoria, Ill. For
the attached Roadbuilder, as bid,
the LaPlante-Choate Factory is at

Due to the need of this equipment
for snow, etc., protection service, it
seems that an early decision should
be determined.

City Manager.

November 23, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the fire that seriously damaged the
three story brick building on the
east side of Main Street, numbers
438 to 448, on April 28, 1934, a ser-
ious effort has been made to have
this unsafe structure removed or re-
built, but no results to date have
been secured.
On July 10th a protest was filed
With the City Manager by other
property owners of Main Street
complaining about the delay of raz
Ing or repairing anis unsafe struc-
ture.
Two minor fires have resulted
since the initial fire April 28th, due
to boys playing and starting fires in
the basement, which basement is
dangerous and should not be
entered.
Advice has been given that insur-
ance was paid on the fire loss in
June, 1934.
On July 12th, after contact with
the Sisters of the Holy Ghost, we
were advised to wait until Father
O'Malley would return from Europe
about August 1st. This gentleman
was interviewed and stated that the
Sisters were planning either on the
sale of the burned building and land
or rebuilding the structure into a
two-story building. No definite plan,
however, as yet can be secured from
the Sisters.
On October 6, 1934, the Sisters of
the Holy Ghost were again notified
in writing by Mr. Bartels of the re-
quirement of the Building Code, Sec-
tion 542, that this decision and ac-
tual reconstruction must be per-
formed by October 28th, six .months
after the fire.
Since then the officials of the
Chancery have been interviewed and
the question has been submitted to
His Grace, Archbishop Beckman.
Attached is a report from Mr.
Bartels, dated November 20, 1934,
advising that no one will now take
action to clean up these ruins.
Accordingly, this serious hazard is
now presented to the City Council,
in accordance with Part XIII, Sec-
tions 542 and 544 of the Building
Code, for the consideration, by legal
procedure, of condemnation.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,

November 30, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: By action of the City
Council of November 23, 1934, the
petition of Mr. K. L. Dooley, of Wa-
terloo, Iowa, dated November 23,
1934, requesting the right to install
and operate a Furniture Auction
Market at the Austin Building,
southwest corner of Main and Third
Streets, was referred to the City
Manager for investigation and
report.
Accordingly, an interview was
held with Mr. Dooley November
28th. Attached is a letter from him,
also, dated November 29, 1934, stat-
ing more fully his desired method of
business which includes:
1. Period of operation, indefinite.
Desired to continue as long as
business conditions would be
favorable.
2. Purpose is (a) To buy and sell at
auctions used furniture; (b) To
retail used and new furniture.
3. The used household goods to be
sold at auction and at retail shall
be secured:
(a) From local Loan Companies
as repossessed furniture.
(b) From local persons breaking
up housekeeping.
4. Furniture will be either bought
outright or sold at auction or re-
tail on a commission basis.
Attached is a sketch of the terri-
tory described in Ordinance 4-1933
within which NO such auction busi-
ness can be conducted. Inasmuch as
the proposed location at the south-
west corner of Main and Third
Streets is definitely WITHIN the re-
stricted area, I can see no possibil-
ity of recommending the approval of
this business at this site.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schiltz moved that
the communication of City Manager
Evans and the petition of K. L.
Dooley be received and filed. Sec-
onded by Councilman Jaeger. Car-

November 28, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: During the early sum-
mer of 1934, by Council action, the
Dubuque Humane Society was re-
quired to move the shelter from its
Present location at 2508 Jackson
Street, as quickly as possible, to an-
other site not objectionable to the
neighbors.
The delay was largely due to the
fact that Miss Bess G. Bissell was
ill for some time at Lutson, Minne-
sota. Miss Bissell has now returned
to Dubuque. Recently, Miss Bissell
Regular Session, December 3rd, 1934 339
and other officers of the Humane
Society have been trying to secure
an outlying city tract suitable for a
new and more modern shelter. Thus
far, no property in the city, or out-
side the city, has been secured.
Reports, practically every week,
have been transmitted to the Hu-
mane Society from our officers at
the City Hall regarding filed objec-
tions to the present use of the shel.
ter at Jackson Street.
Accordingly, Miss Bissell advised
me on November 26th, 1934, that the
plan was to close the Jackson Street
Shelter by December 15th, 1934;
that no additional animals would be
cared for after December 1st and
that attempts between December 1st
and 15th would be made to find pro-
per homes for the rest of the
animals.
If no new location is found prior
to December 15th, the Humane So-
ciety will, at least temporarily, be
unable to care for any animals until
such time as new property is se-
cured in an approved location.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is the peti-
tion filed September 17, 1934, by
residents of Mt. Loretta Avenue ask-
ing that City Busses be operated on
and over Mt. Loretta Avenue.
The report from the Interstate
Power Company, dated September
28, 1934, is also attached hereto,
stating reasons why it is impractical
to serve this street with transpor-
tation service under present condi-
tions.
Since this September
8th report
attempts
was received, additional
were made to try to secure this de-
sired service, but no favorable re-
sults have been obtained.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,

December 3, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is a letter
from M. E. Brooks, dated September
5, 1934, and invoice from Mullen
Bros. amounting to $7.37 for service
performed by Mullen Bros. on Au-
gust 16th at residence owned by Mr.
Schuster at 870 So. Grandview Ave-
nue, opposite the entrance to Over-
view Court.
Trouble existed in the main sewer
on Grandview Avenue just below
this residence. We were advised af-
ter Mullen Bros. had attempted to
relieve this sewer connection, but
could not open the same, as sewage
continued to run into this cellar af-
ter Mullen's work was finished.
Connie Sullivan discovered that
the main sewer was stopped due to
a large accumulation of mash. The
mash was removed and no further
trouble existed in this section.
The delay in presenting these facts
to the Council was due to our in.
vestigation to try to determine from
where this mash was dumped into
the sewer. Thus far no actual deter.
mination has been made. The fam-
ily, or families, dumping this mash
should be required to stand the en-
tire bill of expense.
Mr. Brooks requested last week
that this matter be adjusted.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger m o v e d
that the bill of Mullen Bros. & Co.
in the amount of $7.37 for wiring
out sewer and repairing the same at
the property of Mr. L. J. Schuster,
located at 870 South Grandview Ave-
nue, caused by the backing up of
the sanitary sewer into the basement
of said building, be allowed and a
warrant in the amount of $7.37 be
ordered drawn on the City Treas-
urer in favor of Mullen Bros. & Co.
to cover the amount of said bill.
Seconded by Councilman Jaeger.

for 1935. We have entered this con-

Benefits have been outstanding
and our results certainly qualify the
sending to them of our monthly and
annual reports, as is required in the
entrance plan.

November 30, 1934.
City Council as Board of Health,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A question has recent-
ly been raised as to fees collected
from individuals pertaining to Vital
Statistics, not being turned into the
City Treasurer.
On August 17, 1933, the City Coun-
cil, acting as the Board of Health,
Page 188 of the 1933 Council min-
utes, did make the following appoint-
ment:
"Councilman Schuckert moved
that Dr. W. J. Connell, Director of
Health, be appointed as Registrar
of Vital Statistics for the City of
Dubuque in Julien Township for a
term of four years. Seconded by
Councilman McEvoy. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen
Andelfinger, McEvoy, Schuckert,
Thompson.
Nays—None."
A previous letter was filed by Dr.
W. J. Connell August 7, 1933, Page
179 of the 1933 Council minutes, ad-
vising that Mr. Robert Marshall's
term, as Registrar of Vital Statistics,
would expire in August 1933 and
stating that the local Health Depart-
ment was desirous of having local
records kept in the City Hall and
further quoting from Section 2389 of
Chapter 114 of the 1931 Iowa Code
that in cities of over 30,000 popula-
tion the local Board of Health has
the power to appoint a Registrar of
Vital Statistics.
.In the 1929 Council minutes, on
rP 355 d 485, mention was
s a of Dr. Connell's reasons
wh a City Registrar should be
appointed.
Chapter 114 of the 1931 Code, in-
cluding Registration of Vital Statis-
tics, does not state that fees secured
by a local Registrar shall be turned
over to the City. Dr. Connell'.s offer
several years prior to his 1933 ap-
pointment included the remark that
he, would ..do this additional work
for the city.
It was the writer's belief that all
funds to be received from Vital Stat-
istics would be turned over to the
city. The 1934-5 fiscal Budget, Page
5, shows an item in Miscellaneous
Sources of anticipated yearly rev-
)ecial Session, December 13th, 1934 341
enue from Registration of Vital
Statistics amounting to $300.00.
Dr. Connell, at his own expense
since August 13, 1933, has purchased
necesary books, etc., to properly
conduct this service. He is also pay-
ing his assistant, Miss Mae Moore, a
monthly additional salary.
The purpose of this letter is to
advise the Council of this misunder-
standing. If Dr. Connell was to re-
ceive these fees to offset his ex-
penses and additional service, our
set-up of the 1934-5 Budget, as ap-
proved by the City Council, was in
error.
Kindly consider this question. I
desire that a decision be reached as
to the proper distribution of all
funds from this service from the
time of appointment of Dr. Connell
August 17, 1933, to four years hence,
August 17, 1937, to clarify our
records.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

the meeting of the Board of Health

December 10, 1934.
Honorable Mayor and City
il, Dubuque, Iowa.men: Since December1,
any telephone and personal
nts have been filed with the
IA') Snecial Session, December 13th, 1934
Manager regarding the closing of
the Humane Shelter on Jackson
Street. As reported to the Council
December 3rd, the Humane Society,
since December 1st, is not receiving
any new animals.
Objections are filed chiefly from
the local citizens who have taken in
and cared for stray dogs and cats
over night and have expected the
Humane Society to care for the
same the next day.
Several cases since December 1st
have been taken care of by the Pol-
lee Department. This applies to sick
or injured animals, owned by known
persons, where the owner has re-
quested that his, or her, animal be
put out of misery. However, in a
few cases the Police have been un-
able to act. When a stray dog is
cared for by a stranger and the
stranger then asks the City to care
for the animal, we have no provis-
ions to house and feed such animals.
If a stray dog was disposed of by
the Police, it might develop that
said animal was licensed and owned
and the City might be entangled in
question of the right to destroy such
dog.
Attached are two written requests,
or complaints, and one phoned nota-
tion stating reasons for objections
to closing the Shelter now. Other
phone calls have included requests
that the present Shelter be con-
tinued for a mouth or so, as at pres•
ent the animals are housed indoor:
and do not bark to annoy the neigh
bora and now during cold weather;
the point is stressed that it is un•
humane to cease caring for many
unfortunate animals in the City.
Accordingly, it would seem propel
that the Humane Society should be
requested to continue after Decem
ber 1, .1934, at some new location, it
possible, or at the present site, it
absolutely necessary, until some new
location can be secured, but on con
dition that the least possible annoy
ance to the neighborhood be ful
filled at the present site.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger move 4

Manager Evans be approved. Sec

December 8, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: I am submitting here-
with reports of the City Auditor,
City Treasurer and City Water De-
partment for the month of Novem-
ber, 1934, also list of claims and list
of payrolls for which warrants were
drawn during the month of Novem-

December 11, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: This is to advise that
a very serious accident occurred on
East 15th Street railroad crossing
of the Great Western Railroad early
Sunday morning, December 9, 1934.
The accident was due to an auto-
mobile being driven onto the cross-
ing and being struck by an ap-
proaching freight train. Injuries oc-
curred, but no deaths resulted.
There are crossing gates at this
location, but the same are not oper-
ated, by man power, after 7:00 P.M.
until 7:00 A. M. daily. Several other
street railroad crossings are also not
operated during the 12 -hour night
Period. Numerous other near acci-
dents are known to have been avoid-
ed recently by quick action of dri-
vers of cars. The equipment at pres-
ent used on many of the hand oper-
ated gates, even where 24-hour ser-
vice is provided, is becoming ineffic-
ient due to corrosion of air lines,
etc.
The City Council has been con-
sidering, recently, to try to require
provisions for improved safety at all
railroad crossings.
Accordingly, it is my recommen-
dation that at once a definite plan
should be established that will re-
quire adequate crossing protection
for the entire period of day and
night.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved
that the recommendation of City
Manager Evans be approved. Sec-

December 11, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The petition of the
Klauer Manufacturing Company re-
lating to the subject of rates for
electric energy charged by the In-
terstate Power Company to large in-
dustrial power users was referred
by the City Council to the writer
for investigation and report on Oc-
:ober 1, 1934. In reporting thereon,
[ beg leave to advise you as fol-
ows :
By action of the City Council in
6 Regular Session, January 7th, 1935
August, 1934, the Manager was in.
strutted to investigate and report
on all present, local power rates of
the Interstate Power Company, here-
tofore filed with the City Cpuncil,
and those rates, not so filed. The
writer was also instructed in August
to secure a written statement from
the officials of the Interstate Power
Company including accurate inform-
ation regarding receipts, expendi-
tures, valuations and earnings, as
is included in the provisions of the
electric franchise.
This information was secured and
submitted to the City Council. Af-
ter due consideration by the City
Council, an ordinance including all
local power rate schedules, includ-
ing availability thereof for each
schedule, conditions pertaining to
each schedule, and penalties for vio-
lations thereof, was prepared and
has been considered and adopted by
the City Council.
An examination of the Klauer peti-
tion shows that the petition contains
three distinct divisions, each refer-
ring to separate subjects.
The first division is based on a
statement that the Interstate Power
Company "is exacting excessively
high and discriminatory rates" from
the Klauer Company and from other
users of electricity for light and
Power purposes, and the petition re-
quests that the Council examine the
rates being charged to the said
Klauer Company, as authorized by
the franchise.
As heretofore stated, all the rates
of said Power Company are embod-
ied in the ordinance which definitely
fixes the rates to be charged for
all types of service and this ordin-
ance will prevent any discrimination
among users of electricity, either of
light or power, and imposes a pen-
alty for the violation of any of its
Provisions.
The second division relates to the
subject of establishing meters on the
primary side of a transformer and
allowing a discount of 5% where
such practice is so engaged.
The ordinance pertaining to the
subject of light and power, as
passed, is plain and provides that
the matter of primary metering is
optional with the customer, so that
he has an election as to whether
he wants primary metering or not.
If the customer decides in favor of
Primary metering, the Power Com-
pany is required to allow him a dis-
count of 5% for all transformer
losses.
The third division of the petition
refers to a claim in the matter of
damages. It is alleged that higher
voltage was supplied to the equip-
ment of the Klauer Manufacturing
Company than was proper. It ap.
pears from the petition that a con-
troversy arose between the petition-
er and the Power Company over
this matter and that an adjustment
has been made. It is apparent that
this condition rests entirely with
those two parties in interest and
that the City in no manner could
be involved therein.
Concluding, the petitioner request-
ed that the City Council require the
Interstate Power Company to fur-
nish the Council with an itemized
statement of receipts and expendi-
tures incidental to its distributing
system in the City of Dubuque and
also afford the Council access to the
books and records of the Power
Company for the purpose of secur.
ing accurate information regarding
its receipts, valuations and costs,
preliminary to the passage of a rate
ordinance.
As was stated in the first part of
this report, upon the Council in-
structions of August, 1934, request
for a complete power, light and
transportation report concerning rev-
enue, costs, valuation and earnings
was made; and the data was com-
piled and submitted to the City
Council over two months ago. Offi-
cials of the Power Company did also
agree to furnish to the City Council
data that may be desired at any
time and also at any requested per-
iod they have agreed to open their
records for authorized examination.
The City Council has already de-
termined, in accordance with the
franchise, that complete reports be
furnished to the Council, at least
semi-annually, hereafter, in regard
to all revenue, costs, valuations and
earnings, and further conditioned
that such reports shall be itemized
and in such form as to be readily
understood.
In view of the fact that the City
Council has now incorporated all
light and power rates, conditions,
availability and penalties for non-
compliance therewith in the Ordin-
ance No. 18, and in view of the
fact that the City Council has re-
ceived and studied the report filed
on recent power, light and trans-
portation finances prior to the pass-
age of Ordinance No. 18, and since
it has been expressed by the City
Council that it is their intention to
continue to receive, at least semi-
annually from the Interstate Pow-
er Company, complete reports on
finances, it would seem that the re-
quest of the Klauer Manufacturing
Company's petition has been com-
plied with.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Communication of Dubuque Auto-
mobile Club, with attached resolu-
tion, asking the state legislature to
pass a constitutional amendment
making it mandatory that all motor-
ing taxes be used for highway con-
struction, maintenance and safety
only, presented and read.
Resolution No. 7-35
Whereas, e v e r y organization
which has studied the problem of
motoring taxation has agreed that
as soon as the primary roads of any
state are completed, a portion of
the motoring taxes should be allot-
ted to the cities wherein those taxes
are raised for the maintenance, up-
keep, and construction or recon-
struction of streets used by all mo-
torists; and
Whereas, the use of motoring tax-
es for purposes other than highway
construction, maintenance and safe-
ty in the state of Iowa would fur-
ther delay the time at which a por-
tion of motoring taxes could be used
to reduce or eliminate special as-
sessments for the construction or
re -construction of pavement; and
Whereas, even the Congress of
the United States has incorporated
into the law of the United States a
definite statement to the effect that
it is unfair to use motoring taxes
for any purpose other than highway
construction, maintenance, and safe-
ty;
Therefore, we, the Council of the
City of Dubuque, do hereby endorse
the campaign of the A. A. A. Motor
Clubs of Iowa to bring about an
amendment to the constitution of
the State of Iowa to permanently
require that all motoring taxes must
be used for highway construction,
maintenance and safety; and
Be it further resolved that a copy
of this resolution be sent to each
representative of Dubuque County in
the General Assembly, with a letter
from this Council, urging our as-
semblymen to work and vote for
the adoption of properly worded
amendments to require that all mo-
toring taxes be used for highway
construction, maintenance and high-
way safety.

Resolution No. 8-35
Whereas, the emergency created
by a great many of our people be-
ing out of employment due to de-
pressed economical conditions, still
continues in this city, and the re-
sponsibility of providing work for
those receiving relief from govern-
mental and other agencies rests up-
on the governing body of this city;
and
Whereas, many needed and useful
permanent grading improvements
have been and should be undertak-
en to relieve distress and suffering;
and whereas, such improvements
require eXtraordinary expenditures
of pudic funds, provisions for
which, from c rrent funds, could not
have been mace due to reduced and
i-p,adequate revenue; and
Whereas, im order to finance such
improvements it is necessary that
additional funds be secured through
the issuance of grading bonds, as
provided by law; and
Whereas, it has been determined
that grading bonds, in the sum of
$40,000 be issued and sold for the
purpose herein provided for; Now,
Therefore,
Be it resolved by the Council of
the City of Dubuque: that public
improvements, consisting of opening,
widening, extending, dragging and
grading streets, highways, avenues,
alleys and public grounds and places
be, and they are hereby ordered con-
structed and that grading bonds, in
the sum of $40,000 be issued to pay
the same, and that appropriate pro-
ceedings providing for the issuance
of such bonds be commenced im-
mediately, said bonds to be dated
February 1, 1935, and mature in the
manner to be provided for in such
proceedings.
This resolution, being deemed ur-
gent and of immediate necessity in
the interest of public peace, health,
safety and general welfare, shall be
in force and effect upon its final
Passage, adoption, and approval by
the City Council.
Passed, adopted, and approved

ered the construction of certain

the cost thereof to the amount of
Forty Thousand ($40,000) Dollars to
be borne by the City of Dubuque,
and to be paid from a tax to be
levied on all the taxable property
within said City; and
Whereas, it is now advisable to

said costs to be borne by said City
from the City Grading Fund and to
make a supplemental estimate for
taxes future years pursuant to the
provisions of Chapter 24 of the Code
of Iowa, 1931, such provision hav-

being a City of the first class and
12 Special Session, January 10th, 1935
operating under the City Manager
Form of Government as provided
by Chapter 328 of the Code of Iowa,
1931; and
Whereas, no other indebtedness or
obligations are payable from Lhe tax-
es authorized by Section 6211, Sub-
division 1, Code of Iowa, 1931, to be
collected for the City Grading Fund
with the levies for the year 1935
(for collection during the year 1936)
or any subsequent levies, except on
bond issue of $100,000.00 dated July
15, 1924, the first series thereof
maturing in 1939 and the last in
1944, the interest rate thereof being
41/2% per annum, for which issue
there has been pledged for the pay-
ment of principal and interest an
annual tax levy of not to exceed two
(2) mills on the dollar upon the tax-
able property within said City, one
mill, or so much thereof as may be
necessary to be levied upon all the
taxable property within said City

1924 to 1938, both inclusive, to pay
the interest upon said bonds and a di-
rect annual tax of not exceeding two

ment of principal and interest of all
outstanding bonds, and there re-
mains a sufficient portion of the
authorized tax to pay principal and
interest, as the same respectively
mature, of the bonds herein provid-
ed for, and the City has at no time
done anything to prevent the collec-
tion and application of such tax at
this time, and the full amount of
said annual taxes stand free from all
pledges, except as hereinbefore
stated; and
Whereas, during all the time that
the bonds herein provided shall be
outstanding, one-half (lt) mill of
the authorized tax upon the assessed
value of the taxable property within

payment of principal and interest
thereof, said one-half mill, or so
much thereof as may be necessary,
may be pledged for the payment of
principal and Interest of these
bonds; Now, Therefor,

such portion thereof as may be nec-
essary) upon all the taxable proper-
ty within said City for each of the

cient to produce the net annual sums

ment of principal and interest upon
said bonds as they mature.
