A RESOLUTION for the curtailment of waste in the interest of munic- ipal economy, at the same time eliminating unsafe housing condi- tions. Be it Resolved that we, the mem- bers of the Dubuque Trades and Labor Congress, do hereby in reg- ular session this day of January, recommend to your Honorable Body, the Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa, the following resolution: Whereas, the City Administration Building now situated on the south side of West Thirteenth Street be- tween Central Avenue and Iowa Street is of ancient construction, is woefully obsolete and is truly a vi- vid emblem of municipal paralysis, and Whereas, the building situated on the southeast corner of Ninth and Iowa Streets, known as Fire Head- quarters and the Armory Hall, do hereby be vacated by the Fire Fight. ing Companies now occupying said building, because the building is not, nor never has been properly laid out to become in any degree, either in location or facilities, the proper type of construction for housing fire com- panies and apparatus, and Whereas, the said building re- ferred to, I. e., the Administration building and the Fire Headquarters building constitute a financial waste, the cost of repairs and maintenance does of a necessity far exceed the efficient convenience necessary to modern changing conditions in the care of and distribution of progres- sive municipal affairs, and Whereas, we believe it to be great- ly economical and advantageous to the City to enter into negotiations with the proper authorities for the purpose of securing the property on the northeast corner of Ninth and Locust Streets, formerly occupied by the United States Federal Govern- ment as a Post Office, and combine into a building of public safety, the City Administration Offices and Fire Headquarters. Believing such a mer- ger will meet with full approval by the citizens of Dubuque, we urge the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, that the City of Du- buque, through the official guidance of the City Manager and Administra. tion Officials, avail themselves of an excellent opportunity to promote saf- ety and sanitation, to eliminate wasteful maintenance and conserve municipal expense by abandoning the aforesaid properties and combin. ing Fire Headquarters and the City Administration Offices, thereby elim- inating the total expense of two such buildings. Selling the Fire Headquarters building and convert- ing the sales, or cash consideration to some other fund, and at the same time creating another source of in- come by taxation. Sincerely yours for a Progressive City, Presented by—Jack Brown, A. M. Bennett, B. J. Hannan, Harry M. Haggerty, J. W. Kass and 1. Box - leiter, Members of the Executive Loard.

' Gentlemen: In January, 1935, a verbal request was made by Mr. Hintgen, representing John L. Heim, for cancellation of taxes on all lots with the exception of the homestead, designated West 170 ft. of Lot 310 Davis Farm Addition, and also re- quest for cancellation of special as- sessments against all lots belonging to Mr. Heim. This matter was re- ferred to the writer for investigation and report to Council. Accordingly, we have secured information from the Court House as to the delin- quency in taxes and total sewer as- sessments due on this property. The request included cancellation of taxes and special assessments on 211 lots. The special assessments on 20 of these 211 lots was $1,618.62 and delinquent taxes on the 211 lots was $1,184.30, or a total request for cancellation amounting to $2,802.92. The agreement to pay delinquent taxes on the homestead, or the west 170 ft. of Lot 310, amounts to $442.12, or, in other words, Mr. Hintgen agreed to pay $442.12 of the total amount of delinquent taxes amount- ing to $1,626.42, and, on the other hand, asked for cancellation of the sanitary sewer assessments against 20 lots amounting to $1,618.62. Mr. Hintgen agreed that if delin- quent taxes and special assessments are cancelled, except on the home- stead tract, in the future all taxes will be paid. He also stated that if this request for cancellation is not granted, he would not attempt to take over the Heim property. We have at hand the details of the assessments and the delinquent assessments against each and every lot if Council desires further infor- mation. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: We were advised this morning through Mr. David Murphy, who attended the Highway Commis- sion meeting yesterday at Ames, that East 20th Street and Rhomberg Avenue paving project was awarded yesterday to the Harrison Engineer- ing & Construction Company of Kan- sas City. This firm was the lowest bidder on concrete when bids were received at Ames two weeks ago yesterday. The basis of this entire Improvement will be on concrete rather than brick. After the receipt of bids January 29th, the writer discussed with the Highway Commission the point that if an award were made to an out of state contractor or even a non - Dubuque contractor, would the pos sibility arise of employing non -local mechanics and labor. We were ad- vised by Mr. White, Chief Engineer, that regardless of whom the con- tract was awarded to, the contractor on the project could only bring from out of Dubuque certain key men. Accordingly, the project looks very favorable. We regret that local contractors were not successful in securing the work, but we do feel that our efforts to secure concrete construction rath- er than brick will afford consider- ably more local labor and will also Provide sales greatly in excess of the brick construction to local deal- ers. The awarded price is slightly in excess of $94,000.00. A letter attached has been written to the State Highway Commission today advising of the appreciation of the City Council toward their quick action and hoping that the project will be started as quickly as the weather will permit. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the communication of City Manager Evans be made a matter of record. ,bruary 13th, 1935 35 Seconded by Councilman Jaeger.

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 Depart- ment for the month of February, 1935, also list of claims and list of payrolls for which warrants were drawn during the month of Febru- ary, 1935. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the reports be received and placed on file. Seconded by Councilman Jaeg- er. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jaeger and Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Roberts. March 11, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: This is to advise that Mr. H. A. Franklin, Signal Engineer of the Board of Railroad Commis- sioners of the State of Iowa, was in Dubuque March 6th. He was inter- ested and discussed with us the proposed flashing light signals for the railroad crossing protection ser- vice. Mr. Franklin also submitted to us a requisite for highway cross- ing signals adopted by the Board of Railroad Commissioners as of Feb- ruary 15, 1935, and also a decision of the Board of Railroad Commis- sioners dated December 28, 1934. The first mentioned statement in- cludes in Item 1 of their general set- up, the condition that on each signal there shall be a figure about 6 inch- es square and the word "Tracks" specifying the total number of tracks that have to be crossed at each street crossing. The number and the word "Tracks" is required to be built of reflector buttons. The Rail- road Commissionershave also ap- proved the flashing light type sig- nal similar to the A. R. A. type sub- mitted by the four railroad superin- tendents and the flashing light type with rotating disc as was also sub- mitted by the superintendents and designated Griswold. Mr. Franklin also left a copy of the signal made by the Western Railroad Supply Company which is practically sim- ilar to the Griswold type and has also been approved. Item 2 of these requirements indi- cates that the signals shall not vary in excess of 8 to 15 feet from the nearest rail and shall not vary more than 6 to 12 feet from the right hand 60 Special Session, March 11th, 1935 edge of the pavement or traveling roadway. Item 3 specifies that at least 20 seconds warning shall be furnished at all highway crossings prior to the arrival of approaching trains. Item 4 states that two sources of electric power shall be provided for operation of crossing signals. This question was discussed with Mr. Franklin as to the necessity in the Western Railroad Supply Company or Griswold type of signal. Mr. Franklin advised that possibly the second source of power could be eliminated in either of these two sig- nals, but certainly could not be elim- inated in the A. R. A. type. Item 5 includes certain informa- tion on the installation of circuits which applies principally to the en- gineering design of the construction. Item 6 states that the height of the lamp units shall not vary in ex- cess of 7 feet 10 inches to 9 feet above the surface of the highway. Another very important requirement in this item is that signal lamps shall shine in both directions along the highway. This means that in an ordinary crossing, as at Lincoln Avenue, a car approaching toward the east would see the flashing sig- nals on the right side of the high- way and by looking across the tracks would also see two additional flashing signals at the rear of the crossing signal on the east side of the tracks. This was unknown to us prior to this report as to the re- quirement of flashing lamps showing both ways on each signal including front and back lights as is specified. Requirements are that the lamp un- its shall have lenses red in color and not less than 8% inches in diam- eter for both the front and rear lo- cations at each signal post. Item 7 provides that the number of flashes for each light per minute shall not vary in excess of from 30 to 45 per minute. Item 8 provides that even in the bright sun that these flashing lights in day time shall be effective 300 feet from the signal. Item 9 goes into further detail on the type of working and size there- of of the words "Railroad Crossing" which are diagonally attached to each signal post. Item 10 provides that bells shall be installed on each crossing sig- nal if local conditions warrant the same. This question was discussed with Mr. Franklin and it is our be- lief that bells can be practically eliminated throughout the City of Dubuque. Item 10 specifies the painting of metal parts shall be of white or aluminum paint. Other pro- visions include size and dimensions of foundations, workmanship, de- scription of the reflector buttons and the description of the stop sign on the rotating disc type signal. The second report submitted as to decisions made by the Railroad Com- missioners includes a statement that from the years 1925 to 1933 inclu- sive 7,000 crossings in the United States have been improved by signal protection and that accidents have been reduced nearly 50% thereby. It seems that this report was made after discussions from railroad offi- cials at a general meeting at Des Moines. The report mentions that from the information received, that consider- ation should be given to the advis- ability of adopting flashing light sig- nals with the rotary stop banner as an added feature. This seems to apply to the Western Railroad Supply or Griswold type. Briefly analyzing their opinion, it would seem that in the Western Sup- ply Company or Griswold type the word "Stop" only appears at the crossing signal when a train is ap- proaching or in a case where the entire electricity fails. In the A. R. A. type of signal the following in- formation is constantly in view of vehicular approaching traffic, "Stop on Red Signal." Indications are that "Stop on Red Signal" does not mean to the individual car or truck driver the same serious warning that the word "Stop" does. The Railroad Commissioners stress the point that the movable stop sign has proved to be satisfac- tory and effective and they justify consideration of this rotating disc and stop sign. The rotating stop banner meets the requirements of the general provisions of railroad signaling where crossing circuits are used. The rotating stop sign disap- pears from the individual signal post when the crossing has been cleared by the train, as long as the electric- ity is in action. If the electricity fails, by gravity, the stop sign swings into view. Another point stressed in favor of the rotating stop banner is that same has an important advantage in certain failures such as burned out lamp bulbs, defective contacts, broken wires, broken fuses or fail- ure of electricity. They further em- phasize that one word "Stop" should furnish all the necessary informa- tion to pedestrians or car owners crossing the tracks. The only disadvantage which they state they have heard to this type is the increased cost over the A. R. A. type, but they believe that the Special Session, March 11th, 1935 61 additional cost will be offset by the auxiliary additional information that adds certain safety features. This rotating banner type has been adopted in some other states as the only type of signal that can be used. At the conclusion of this January 15, 1935, report, in confliction some- what, we believe, with the 1931 Code, the following is quoted from their record: "Plans for any pro- posed installation of automatic cross- ing protection shall be submitted to the Railroad Commission of the State of Iowa for its approval before installing the same. This require- ment shall be effective on or after January 15, 1935." We also have a letter from Mr. W. Kearton, Signal Engineer of the State of Minnesota. Mr. Kearton al- so stresses the disadvantage of the A. R. A. type in case of failure of power regardless of whether a sec- ond battery is used or not. He states that the Griswold or Western Rail- road Supply type signal has had the approval of Mr. Thos. H. McDonald, Bureau of Public Roads, Washing- ton, D. C., and in his opinion also this particular type with the re- flector button stop sign only that swings on gravity to appear before the person crossing the railroad, re- gardless of whether electricity is in the circuit or not, has distinct ad- vantages and this type of signal has been approved in the State of Min- nesota. We also have a letter from Mr. Homer Hughes, Railroad Inspector of the State of Michigan. He states that both the A. R. A. type and the Griswold type have been approved, but in the Michigan setup the chief point stressed is the requirement of reflector buttons on either the "Stop" sign or "Stop on Red Sig- nal" sign. In Michigan also there are required both the front and back Bashing lights on each signal. We have not as yet heard from Mr. McDonald. Accordingly, it is my opinion and my recommendation herewith to the City Council of Du- buque that they do consider and ap- prove the more modern type of rail- road crossing signal, namely the ro- tating disc stop sign. As a possible offset to decrease the cost of this more modern type signal as compared to the A. R. A. type, we have information that the Federal Government, in certain cas- es, has paid for the complete cost of signals at crossings on Federal highways. Accordingly, possibly the entire cost of Fourth Street and Rhomberg Avenue could be secured from the Government which would materially decrease the estimate submitted by the four railroad super- intendents. We have quite an amount of infor- mation available for discussion if so desired. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Andelfinger moved that the recommendation of City Manager Evans be approved and that the City Council adopt the ro- tating disc stop sign for railroad crossing signals. Seconded by Coun- cilman Schiltz. Carried by the fol- lowing vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jaeger and Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Roberts. Councilman Andelfinger moved that all railroad crossings from Nineteenth Street to East Twenty - Fourth Street, inclusive, be manual- ly controlled by tower operator. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jaeger and Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Roberts. March 11, 1935.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In connection with the instructions by the writer to advise Mrs. Lena Merkes of 40 East 18th Street, Dubuque, Iowa, of the conditions that exist by the City of Dubuque having purchased tax sale certificates on certain proper- ties on which Mrs. Merkes request- ed cancellation of special assess- ments, please be advised as follows: On March 8th a letter was writ- ten to Mrs. Merkes, with copy at- tached hereto, stating that the City had purchased tax sale certificates on two tracts that were originally designated as owned by her and a third one that had been originally assessed to Anna Holz, but whose property has been taken over by Mrs. Merkes. Today Mr. John P. Merkes has presented the following information: that he has paid his taxes in full. He now requests that Council con- sider the best legal adjustment pos- sible in these special assessment balances still due. Attached is a summary showing the original assessments and the amounts paid !)y tli.3 City on the three tracts when the tax ;ale cer- tificates were by the city. This money was advanced from the Consolidated Fund to the c;xtent of $199.62 shortly after March 31, 1931. The question presented by Mr. Merkes now is, first, can there be any adjustment on the $399.62; sec- ond, he desires the 8% penalty and 8% interest be eliminated and that, if possible, 5% interest on the $199.62 be acceptable to the Coun- cil if legal. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Mai ager. Councilman Andelfinger moved that Mrs. Lena Merkes be granted permission to redeem the tax sale certificate held by the City of Du- buque against her property located on East 18th Street upon payment of the face value of the certificate Plus 5(1; interest from date of cer- tifleate, the tax sale certificate to be surrendered upon :he making of said payment. Seconded by Coun- cilman Schiltz. Carried by the fol- lowing vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jaeger, Roberts and Schiltz. Nays—None. March 13, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the City Coun- cil meeting of March 11th a letter was filled by Anna P. Shaffer re- questing that a provision be made for a bus stop zone at the curb on Central Avenue north of 17th Street. This matter was referred to the Manager for investigation and re- port. This is to advise that yesterday I discussed this matter with A. V. Welu, bookbinder at 1701 Central Avenue. This gentleman operates a printing establishment at the north- west corner of Central Avenue and 17th Street. The question was dis- cussed with him as to whether or not he would object to providing a stop zone for the buses in front of his business place. He agreed that we could use approximately 25 to 30 feet of the street curb in front of his store and that he would still have room for parking of one car in front of his property. It would seem that this is a neces- sary provision due to the fact that the water on 17th Street west of Central Avenue is not taken care of by any storm sewer. The water flows down this gutter and goes slightly north of the north curb line of West 17th Street if the same were projected eastwardly onto Central Avenue. Water yesterday, in a fair- ly dry day, was at least one-half inch deep, flowing into the spot where pedestrians would be forced to get off buses at this location. Accordingly, it is my recommenda- tion that this curb line be painted in front of the portion of the Welu establishment and the buses be per- mitted to stop at the sidewalk in- tersection where passengers can step onto the first step of the high curb at this particular location. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Andelfinger moved that the recommendation of City Manager Evans be approved. Sec- onded by Councilman Jaeger.

Councilman Andelfinger moved that the recommendation of City So- licitor Czizek be approved and that a warrant in the amount of $200.00 be ordered drawn on the City Treas- urer in favor of Ray Licklider, at- torney, as settlement in full of the personal injury claim of Mrs. Belle Lawrence, they to pay the court costs.

From my records I find that Mr. Wersinger had been granted a free license in 1931, 1932, 1933 and again in 1934. He is a World War veter- an; was not injured in war service, but did contract arthritis. In 1931 his skull was fractured in a farm accident. He is still not able to do heavy work. Six dependents are in Mr. Wer - singer's family. The former Sol- diers' Relief amounting to $2.70 per week was cancelled over a year ago. While this man has assets to the extent of about $1,000.00, it would seem that he is still entitled to a free license as has been granted in the past. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Andelfinger moved that the prayer of the petition be granted. Seconded by Councilman Roberts. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Special Session, March 21st, 1935 83 Andelfinger, Jaeger, Roberts and Schiltz. Nays—None. March 20, 1935.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: About the first of the year Mr. B. Bond of the Consoli- dated Bank made a request for con- sideration by the City Council of widening the sidewalk or narrow- ing the street on Second Street east of Iowa Street on the north side of the street. This present street is 60 feet wide from curb line to curb line and is very short, running from Iowa Street only to the rail- road crossing. The property to be benefited is the former Dubuque Paper Co. build- ing where the condition exists that the first floor on Second Street is so much higher than the sidewalk that no possible provision can be made for loading trucks on Second Street. Accordingly, the request was that the street should be nar- rowed 10 feet in order to provide for a safe and non -excessive slop- ing ramp to be built from the new curb line to the property line. This would still leave 50 feet width of street from the south curb line to the proposed curb line. Another reason for our suggestion of the approval of this improvement Is to correct the present improper drainage condition. Mr. Byrne and Mr. Cullen have Investigated this proposition and have secured from the Government 100% of the money required for labor and material to make this change. The main feature is that it will benefit the future use of this building on the north side of Sec- ond Street. The property owner will pay for all necessary changes in the reconstruction of sidewalk and proposed ramp. It is suggested that this plan be approved in order to provide proper facilities for a new industry that is considering the use of this building. Attached is a plan showing the general situation. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Andelfinger moved to refer the communication of City Manager Evans to the City Council to view the grounds. Seconded by Councilman Roberts.

Gentlemen: In connection with the verbal information submitted to the City Council last week by Mr. Chas. McLean, Secretary of the Key City Gas Co., please find attached herewith a letter and a statement in regard to the new gas rates. You will note that the regular rates have been reduced, as was stated by Mr. McLean for each 1000 cu. ft. The minimum bill per meter is still to remain at 50c per month. A reduction also occurs in the pro- posed rates for use of less than 1000 cu. ft. per month. A new rate is presented desig- nated as an Optional Rate with five brackets, ranging from a net 80c cost per 1000 cu. ft. from 125,000 to 200,000 and the following brackets reduced to a final of 62%c for all over 600,000 cu. ft. This optional rate includes a monthly minimum equivalent approximately to the low- est figure in the brackets at the net rate of 1000 cu. ft. This type of op- , .'�N 90 Special Session, March 28th, 1935 tional rate is entirely different from the regular rate inasmuch as in the optional calculation, the entire con- sumption per month is figured at the Net rate per 1000 cu. ft. For in- * nce„�•a ga-q7 using 250,000 cu. ft. he wilh be filled at the flat charge of 75c per 1000 cu. ft. For your information, there is al- so attached herewith a study of the present cost from 1,000 to 1,000,000 cu. ft., the proposed regular cost and the proposed new cost at theop- tional rate above 125,000 cu. ft. A statement of percentages of reduc- tion is also included, as well as the costs at Clinton and Waterloo. You will note that the Dubuque rates, as proposed, in the regular schedule from 1000 to 5000 cu. ft. are not far apart from the Clinton and Waterloo schedules. The rates above 5000 cu. ft. up to 500,000 cu. ft. are higher than the other two cities, but from 500,000 to 1,000,000 cu. ft. the rates are lower than either in Clinton or Waterloo. The variation in reductions is from 3.70% to 18.27%. Mr. McLean's statement that the reduction in- cluded approximately $10,000.00 per year did not include the new op- tional schedule which will be applic- able to several present customers in the City of Dubuque. It is my recommendation that these rates be accepted as apparent- ly they are the lowest that can be secured at this particular time. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager Councilman Andelfinger m o v e d that the recommendation of City Manager Evans be approved and that the letter and statement of the Key City Gas Company be made a matter of record and that the City Solicitor be instructed to draft an ordinance covering the new sched- ule of gas rates. Seconded by Councilman Roberts. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. March 28, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A request was made this morning by two officials of the C. M. St. P. & P. Railroad Company for permission to repair, raise and change the general slope at one par- ticular location of the railroad track and the brick adjoining the track on both sides in the alley between Main and Iowa Streets from First to See. ond Streets. In the first place, the plan to raise the track on this alley at First Street, particularly on the north sidewalk crossing, is to eliminate the present low spot where water accumulates and where people have to cross the tracks in the pool of water on the north sidewalk of First Street. The plan is to raise the track about 3 or four inches as a maximum. From First Street north for about 200 feet the plan was to repair the loos,: and rough brick and raise the tracks sufficiently so that water would not stand in certain spots, with a grade sloping up as the alley proceeds northwardly to. wards Second Street. Another request was that the track elevation be changed from an average slope of from 4 to 5% at the extreme north end just south of the property line of Second Street. The purpose of this change is to benefit the unloading facilities at the Dubuque Licorice Products Company. When a car of gasoline or molasses is unloaded at this par- ticular location, the track is sloping to such an extent at present, that approximately 1 to 1% feet of the lower end of the tank will not dis- charge into the valve near the mid- dle of the car. In order to provide for this decrease in slope it is plan- ned to lower the track immediately south of Second Street about nine inches by sloping the brick from the present grade downwardly to the rail in order to make no dangerous condition. The track would slope instead of 4 or 5%, about V2(-; down- ward toward the south and at the south end of the Licorice Products Company building, the location of the surface of the alley where the track would be, would then be ap- proximately 1% feet higher than the present track and brick. If this change in elevation of the track were completed, therm would still be room to provide for the low spot in the alley from 4 to 8 feet west of the edge of the rail. The purpose of the request, as made by the Milwaukee Railroad officials, is to improve a general condition of the siding from First to Second Streets and to improve the conditions for unloading facil- ities at the Licorice Products Com- pany. The entire change of this surfac. ing of the alley and the railroad track, if approved by the City Coun- cil, will be assumed by the Milwau- kee Railroad Company. The consideration of the Cite Council is asked at the earliest POs- Special Session, March 28th, 1935 f-)1 sible period for decision on this re- quest. _ sl Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Roberts moved that the request be approved. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Jaeger, Roberts and Schiltz.

Bond of the Consolidated Bank for the right to widen the side- walk on the north side of 2nd Street east from Iowa Street to the 'rail- road tracks. This letter was con. sidered by Council March 21st and was referred to the Council to view the site. Following the special meeting Thursday, March 28th, four members of the City Council, excluding Mayor Kane, viewed the site at 2nd Street east of Iowa and in consideration of the elimination of the present drain- age difficulties and the need for pro- viding for a loading platform for the large industrial building at this site and due to the non-use of the pres- ent wide width of the street paving, the Council agreed to permit the street to be narrowed approximately 10 feet. This work is to be done under relief appropriations and the owner of the building is to provide for all costs of widening and raising the sidewalk space from the curb to the property line. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the decision of the City Council be approved. Seconded by Councilman Jaeger. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. March 28, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In connection with the instructions from the City Coun. cil to the writer to investigate the possibilities of securing for the citi. zens on Central Avenue possible full service in the present blanked street lights, please be advised as follows: At 3:00 P. M. today Mr. Chas. Dove of the Interstate Power Com- pany finally agreed to a reduction in all street lights that will permit practically all the blanked lights, now shut off, to be again turned on, on the condition that all boulevard lights, except on corners, shall con- tinue to be shut off at 11:00 P. \i. and further on condition that all- night lights will continue to be on the basis of 15 minutes per day less than the 4000 hour yearly period. The 1935-36 budget set-up for the appropriations to be paid to the Interstate Power Company includes $57,800.00. The approximate cost of street lights today, at the prevailing rates, is $57,390.00. If all the blank- ed lights were turned on at the pres- ent rate agreed early in 1933, the additional cost would have been $2,130.00, or making the cost before this reduction for all lights to be turned on, including the lights in the middle of the block, equivalent to $59,520.00. At lair. Dove's agreed to- tal cost today, the cost to the City for next year for all lights, condi- tioned on the boulevard lights in the middle of the block being shut off at 11:00 P. M. and also the 15 -minute daily reduction on all other lights, will be $57,998, or a reduction of approximately $1,522.00 on the pres- ent rates. In order to provide for this Cen- tral Avenue condition and all other Places in the City where boulevard lights are shut off, it will be neces- sary to transfer from the Allowance for Reserve, which totals $1,544.00, the sum of $200.00 for present erect- ed lights. It is also my recommen- dation that an additional $400.00 be transferred to take care of five lights that we have petitions for at present and also a few others that Regular Session, April 1st, 1935 may be necessary within the next year. In other words, by an addi. tional $600.00 from the Allowance for Reserve, $200.00 of this will be sufficient, under the new rates, to relight all blanked lights and the $400.00 additional is for emergency and new considerations by the Council. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved and the transfer authorized. Seconded by Councilman Roberts.

Gentlemen: Prior to the writ- er's report of October 6, 1934, re- garding light and power rates and the requirements then determined by the City Council that semi-an- nually a complete report as to earn- ings, valuations, revenues and ex- penses be secured from the Inter- state Power Company, a complete report has been secured from Mr. George Taylor as to the revenues, costs, etc., for the year beginning September 1, 1933, and ending Aug- ust 31, 1934. This report was in. cluded in my letter to the City Council October 6, 1934. It would seem that authority should now be made to have the semi-annual report made for the last four months of the year 1934, and the first two months of 1935 from the Interstate Power Com- pany. If this meets with your ap- proval, a request will be made im- mediately for this report. Also pertaining to the gas in- dustry of the City of Dubuque, a report was submitted to the City Council November 15, 1934, which showed statement of the 1933 earn- ings, operating costs, depreciation and return on the investment for the year 1933. It would seem that a complete annual report would now be desired by the City Coun- cil for the year 1934 and that the Iiey City Gas Company should be also advised in connection with the decision regarding power rates that a semi-annual report should be made. In other words, if the 1934 report were made, the next report should be at the end of June, 1935. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

The proposed tem- porary wooden platform on the side- walk space of Salina Street was ap- parently not in conflict with any re- quirement of the city street as Sa- lina Street is not used at this lo- cation. Accordingly, the decision of the City Council was that this construc- tion of a wooden platform was ap- proved and the same could be used until there was a demand for its removal.

Accordingly, the determination of the City Council on April 3rd was that this street could not be closed. A letter has been sent today to Mr. Foster advising of this decision. Yours very truly, R. M.

Gentlemen: On March 26th Mr. 0. A. Reynolds requested the City Council to give consideration to' ward improvement of an alley lead- ing off the west side of Fremont Avenue between St. Joseph and Marion Streets. On April 3rd the Council viewed this location and no decision was made because of the fact that the exact extent of the improvement was not specified. By phone today Mr. Reynolds re- quests that the alley be stoned or made passable at all times of the year about 250 feet from Fremont Avenue or to the rear of the gar- ages and stables on both sides of this alley. He did not request that the private drive over the vacant lot west of the garages to a single house on St. Joseph Street be in- cluded. Accordingly, if so desired and authorized by the Council, we can grade slightly and stone by relief labor, the portion of the alley start- ing at Fremont Avenue and extend• ing westwardly to the end of the garages.

Flynn, requesting the right to install on the sand filled Lot 30 south of Railroad Street and east of Route No. 61, a billboard of ap- proximately 15 feet length, was pre- sented. Later Mr. Flynn advised the City Manager that he desired to use the available space south of the first billboard closest to Rail- road Avenue. The City Council viewed this lo- cation April 3rd and raised the ques- tion as to what price the other us- ers of billboards on this lot were paying per year. Upon investigation today, it is found that since Decem- ber 10, 1923, permission was granted by the City Council to permit Mr. Louis Murphy, by a verbal agree- ment made with Mr. Carr and auth. orized by the City Council, to erect Up to 10 billboards on this location conditioned that there would be no rental for any period, based on the agreement that he would include on one billboard, statements offering new subdivision sites for sale to the public. This last condition has been done and several of Mr. Murphy's billboards have been torn dose ms or blown down. Accordingly, it at no the threeupresente is received from any ofbillboards on this lot. Mr. Flynn offered $1 ,00 per year for a billboard Of approximately resent rates 15 foot length. The P charged to Mr. MOIo for the large billboard $20 00 per year. Locust Street TheJulienHotel also pays $20.00 per year for a large sign on East Fourth Street. Other charges thefor the smaller typeugh billboardCity of approxi- mately 15 feet are $10.00 per year. Accordingly, it would seem that if Council desired, authoritycould be granted to Mr. Flynn the erection of a small bforo$ 0.00 per d at the location he desires, year. Yours verytruly, R.M.

Gentlemen: This is to advise that Mr. Syl. McCauley, Director of Re- creation, is planning to carry on the night use of the Municipal Athletic Field for local night baseball games under the auspices of the Dubuque City League as has been done for the last two years. The agreement established in 1933 by the City Council was that for each night's use of the Athletic Field for baseball games a fee of $15.00 shall be collected and that the Particular team or organization us- ing the Ball Park for each night shall pay the entire cost of the elec- tric current for night lamps. In the past no trouble has been involved in collecting the $15.00 fee per night for the use of the Athletic Field by the local City League, of which Mr. Wm. Fitzpatrick is Treas- urer. It is suggested, however, from now on that organizations using the Municipal Athletic Field for night baseball games which are under the control of the Recreational Director, shall pay the $15.00 per game fee in advance prior to the night of the game.

Gentlemen: In connection with the request from the Chamber of Commerce, dated April 13th, toward the consideration of abandoning the 111 dumping of rubbish on the city owned property west of the Ball Park on 4th Street, please be ad. vised that we have made an investi- gation of this situation and find from information from industries and ho- tels in this section that the smoke and the blowing of papers and the odors from this dump are very ob- Jectionable, especially in Summer- time. From another angle, as you prob. ably all know, the smoke and odors from this area while baseball games or other recreational activities are held at the Ball Park causes objec- tion from many of the persons at- tending these games. We have considered the diversion of the dumping from this area, es- pecially in the Summertime and have chosen three sites, one in the south end of the city, one near 16th Street and the filling of Dock Street east of the railroad tracks toward the Airport. If our plans can be pro- perly carried through, the city can stop the dumping on this land Just west of the Ball Park, at least this Summer. Another question to be considered is the possible request to Farley & Loetscher Mfg. Co., who own prop- erty west of the area being filled near the Ball Park. Possibly they would also consent to prohibit Sum- mer dumping on this land, especially if in the Winter time we would con- centrate and help fill in this low portion of the area.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Following the letter of the writer to the City Council, dated April 4, 1935, regarding the right of the Dubuque Poster Com- pany to maintain billboards on Raf- ferty Slough, south of Railroad Street, without payment of any Yearly fees, the writer was asked to furnish full information on this agreement. Accordingly, please find the following information: FROM CITY COUNCIL REC- ORDS, NOVEMBER 26, 1923, PAGE 788 OF MINUTES: "Petition of the Dubuque Poster Advertising Company asking that they be allowed to erect billboards on the sand fill, formerly Rafferty Slough, presented. Councilman Schrempf moved that the petition be laid on the table. Seconded by Councilman Gabriel. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Schrempf. Nays—None. Absent—Councilmen Brede, Mel- chior." FROM CITY COUNCIL REC- ORDS, DECEMBER 10, 1923, PAGE 821 OF MINUTES: "Petition of the Dubuque Poster Advertising Company asking per- mission to erect billboards on the sand fill (formerly Rafferty Slough), presented. Councilman Melchior moved that the petition be referred to the City Manager, Mayor Alderson and Councilman Brede. Second- ed by Councilman Schrempf. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council- men Gabriel, Melchior and Schrempf. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Brede." I have searched the records of 1924 and find no agreement that was authorized by the City Council. How- ever, as stated in the motion passed December 10, 1923, City Manager Carr had evidently made a verbal agreement with Mr. Louis Murphy, head of the Dubuque Poster Com- pany, to the effect that the Dubuque Poster Advertising Company could construct and maintain billboards, up to 10 in number, on the newly filled subdivision site for sale to the public, located in Rafferty Slough, south of Railroad Street; that there would be no rental charge for these 10 boards conditioned that one board would be used to advertise industrial sites for sale by the City. This information is obtained from correspondence with Mr. Sigman and Mr. Carr in June, 1926, after Mr. Carr left for Fort Worth. This ver- bal agreement was verified by Mr. Carr. Attached is a copy of a let- ter, dated October 21, 1932, from Mr. Louis Murphy. Apparently there was no period designated as to how long these boards could be erected, but there was a statement that there would be no fee charged by the City to Mr. Murphy conditioned on his main- taining the single sign board adver- tising industrial sites for the City. In June, 1927, Mr. Sigman con- tacted the former Councilmen, Mr. Brede and Dr. Alderson, and they knew nothing of this agreement and could not verify the same. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Roberts moved that the communication be referred back to City Manager Evans for investiga- 126 Special Session, May 13th, 1935 tion and for a report to be mad( to the City Council on the status of all billboards erected on Cit} owned property. Seconded by Coun cilman Schiltz. Carried by the fol lowing vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. May 11, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: We ask your consid- eration as to the street car tracks at present abandoned that are to be removed and the paving replaced for this calendar year by the Interstate Power Company. Thirteenth Street from Main to Central Avenue is in a very bad vehicular condition. It is our aim, however, to try to secure Federal aid for the relaying of these two blocks of paving, including the en- tire street from curb to curb, and there would be no cost to the Power Company except the removal of the rails and ties. For this project there will be sufficient brick, we estimate, from the Rhomberg Avenue tracks. Additional tracks that should be given consideration and for which we ask your authority to contact the Interstate Power Company, would include: 1. 15th Street from Central to Main. 2. Julien Avenue from Alpine to Delhi. 3. Delhi Street from Julien Ave- nue to St. Ambrose. However, before Delhi Street is consid- ered, it is suggested that Route No. 20 from the west end of West Locust to Delhi Street be given ation 4. Shiras Avenue should also have the rails removed, especially at the crossing at the west end Of the brick. We desire your decision as the Power Company are nearly ready to start removal of this agreed two miles per year. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, ty Councilman Jaeger moved that the recommendation of City Manager Evans be approved. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Chalmers, Councilmen Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. To the Honorable May 11, 1935. Council, D Mayor and City ubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the Council meet- ing of April 26th a request was pre. rented to the City Council for Per mission to erect a filling station at the southwest corner of 17th and Central Avenue. The decision of the Council was that they view this site before the filling station be auth. orized. The writer wishes to advise you that Article 9, Section D, of the Zon- ing Ordinance reads as follows: "No part of any filling station or of any public garage shall be er. ected in a zone, in which such structures are permitted, within 200' of any lot upon which is lo- cated a church, hospital, school, institution, theatre or assembly hall." As you probably know, the First Presbyterian Church is located on the southeast corner of Iowa and 17th Streets and is directly west -and across a 20' alley from this lot on which the filling station is de. sired. Accordingly, it would seem that it is necessary to deny this re- quest and it will not be necessary for the Council to view this site. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the request for the erection of a fill- ing station at the southwest corner of 17th Street and Central Avenue be denied and that the communica- tion of City Manager Evans be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Jaeger. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. To the Honorable ayor1 and9 City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On May 6th a letter from Mr. W. H. Meuser, dated May 4th, requesting that the City Treas- urer be authorized to accept all due assessments for paving against the easterly 1/2 of Lot 12 of John King's Dubuque Addition on the basis of Paying the assessment principal plus 6% interest was considered by the Council and referred to the City So- licitor for report. At the informal meeting of May 4th Mr. Czizek recommended the ap- proval of this request of Mr. Meuser. Accordingly, the decision of the City Council was that the prayer of the petition be granted. Respectfully submited, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the decision of the City Council be approved and the Treasurer in- structed accordingly.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: By action of the City Council, the Recreational Director was requested to secure and report to Council immediately a statement with the total earnings, total expen- ditures and net profit made on the local Baseball League for last year and the year previous, and hereafter reports are to be submitted to the City Council each month regarding the net earnings made by this league. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the report of the action of the City Council be approved. Seconded by Councilman Jaeger. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. May 11, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the informal meet- ing of May 10th there was presented to the City Council a letter from Mr. Leo T. Gregory, Chairman of the Recreation Commission, advising that the Recreation Commission, at their regular meeting in April, had taken action to increase the month- ly fee for the Recreational Director's car allowance from $18.00 to $30.00 per month for the balance of the fis- cal year 1935-36. Following the reading of this let- ter, the statutes were checked and it was determined that the Recrea- tion Commission has the power to change certain of their separate bud- get items as long as the increase is allotted to some other fund within the total appropriation for that par- ticular department. In the general budget for the Recreation Depart- ment for the year 1935-36 there was allotted for reserve and previous Year's expenditures that were not paid due to lack of funds, the sum of $1,053.00. In the month of April there was paid $753.08 which now wipes out all previous year's bills that were unpaid. It now seems that the $12.00 per month increase start- ing April, 1935, to March, 1936, or $144.00, can be allotted to this re- serve fund. By action of the Council, the Rec- reation Department was instructed 13th, 1935 127 to absolutely live within its budget this year and in the future years to come and that no supplies were to be purchased or agreements made for service for the fiscal year which could not be paid from anticipated revenues allotted in the budget. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the report of the action of the City Coun. cil be approved. Seconded by Coun- cilman Jaeger. Carried by the fol- lowing vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. May 11, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Attached is a letter from Mr. C. W. Storms, Auditor of State, in regard to the Council's de- sire to get an opinion from the State Examiner regarding the $100.00 fee that was orally discussed by Mr. Kooser in 1933 and was recommend- ed not to. be paid by the Water De- partment to the Dubuque Traffic As- sociation. The opinion from the Auditor of State, Mr. Storms, now indicates that the Water Department only can pay this bill if it is determined that service secured from this Associa- tion is worth as much as the $100.00 per year fee. Accordingly, it appears that the Water Department is now authorized to make this payment. Respectfully submitted R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved to refer the communication to the Superin- tendent of the City Water Depart- ment for a report to be made back to the City Council. Seconded by Councilman Chalmers. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. May 11, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: This is to advise that a letter dated May 9th was re- ceived from the Auditor of State, Mr. C. W. Storms, advising that State Examiners would be sent to Dubuque within a few weeks for the completion of the reports for the fiscal years 1933-34 and 1934-35. Yours very truly, R. M.

Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. May 11, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the informal Coun- cil meeting held May 10th the ques- tion was discussed as to the neces- sity of one additional overhead street light at the sharp curve west of the last light on Kaufmann Ave- nue. Tentative approval was made of the necessity of this one addi- tional light on Kaufmann Avenue. Upon investigation today it ap- pears that the location for this addi- tional light is approximately 700' west of the present light, just west of the entrance to the Water Works. The recommended location is at the middle of a sharp curve, to the left about 150' northeast from a new house built by Mr. Spiegelhalter. If this light were installed at this loca- tion, it would provide illumination for street vehicular traffic and pedes- trian traffic to the west for a long slightly curved section and would serve as illumination for a house on the hill west of Spiegelhalter's and another house northwest from Spie- gelhalter's house. It would also ben- efit the occupants of house No. 1826 which is directly east of Spiegel - halter's. In order to make the proper pro. vision for lighting, it is also recom- mended that the present lamp at the entrance to the Water Works be moved one pole to the west to be approximately in the middle of this curve turning to the light going west. By the moving of this present light and the installation of a new light at the sharp curve, the two lights would be approximately 600' apart and would provide sufficient service for this portion of Kaufmann Avenue. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved. Seconded by Councilman Jaeger. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. To the Honorable Mayorl and9 City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A request has been made that the boulevard light on the south side of West 15th Street, about 30' west of the Central Ave. nue west property line, be again lighted. This lamp has been turned off for over two years and was not authorized by the writer to be again lighted when the Central Avenue lights were turned on to the num. ber of six in each block. The instal. lation costs of this light were borne by Mr. Al. Hoffmann and formerly the City paid for the current for this light. Accordingly, your consideration and opinion is desired as to whether or not this light should be again turned on. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Jaeger moved to refer the request to the City Manager for investigation and to report back to the City Council. Seconded by Coun- cilman Roberts.

Gentlemen: At the Council meet- ing of May 13th the writer sub- mitted a letter, as a verbal request from Mr. Alois M. Hoffmann, that the blanked boulevard light on the south side of West 15th Street, west of Central Avenue, be again lighted and the current therefor paid by the City. The action of the Council was that a report be submitted regarding the authorization of this light and the former method of current payment. Accordingly, from the Council rec- ords of September 30th, 1929, page 475 of the minutes, the following Petition and motion are copied:— "Petition of Alois M. Hoffmann, requesting that the Council permit him to have a boulevard light Placed on his property on the southwest corner of 15th Street and Central Avenue at his own expense. Councilman Schuckert moved that the prayer of the petition be granted. Seconded by Councilman McEvoy. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Andelfinger, Council- men Jansen, McEvoy, Meuser, Schuckert. Nays --None." From the September 1929 Council files the original petition reads as follows:— Dubuque, Iowa, September 30, 1929. "To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: I respectfully request the Du- buque City Council to grant per. mission to the undersigned to have a boulevard light placed on his property on the 15th Street side, west of Central Avenue. The expense of the light and installa. tion will be borne by the under- signed. Respectfully submitted, ALOIS M. HOFFMANN." At a conference with Mr. Hoff. mann today, it is stated that the expense of the light was meant to include the cost of purchasing the standard, the globes and all parts required for the standard type of lamp installed on Central Avenue. Mr. Hoffmann also paid for install- ing the light. It was meant, however, that the City should assume the cost of pay- ing for the monthly cost of current for this light. Following the instal- lation and up to the date of Feb- ruary 1, 1933, when certain of the Central Avenue circuit were blank- ed, the current for this light was assumed and paid by the City. This light, together with 3 other blanked lights on the Central Avenue circuit, was not ordered to be again lighted this year, due to the authorization from Council, that on Central Ave- nue the blanked lights were to be again lighted, following the reduced rates secured on the basis of 6 lights, total, per block. This particular light is of the 2 - lamp, 600 C: P. type and would burn until 11:00 P. M. if authorized to be again lighted. The annual cost for this boulevard type, as per the March 1935 reduced rates, would be $48.00. The cost per month would be $4.00, or from June 1, 1935, to March 31, 1936, the total cost (for 10 months) would be $40.00. Resectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved to refer the communication of City Manager Evans to the Council to view the grounds. Seconded by Councilman Jaeger. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. Special Session, May 20th, 1935 137 May 20, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the special meet- ing of the City Council held May 13, 1935, instructions were recorded that for the 1935 Wrestling and Boxing use of the City Ball Park, that a notice for bids was to be advertised, bids should be received today and then submitted to the City Council. Attached is a copy of a "Notice to Bidders, Etc.," as was published in the Telegraph -Herald Tuesday, May 14th. At 10:00 A. M. today the following bids, as herewith attached, were re- ceived and opened: (1) Proposal from Mr. Ken Fenelon of Dubuque, Iowa, agreeing to conduct, or pay for, at least 8 boxing or wrestling contests this summer, each contest shall in- clude a fee of $51.00 for the night use of the Ball Park. Mr. Fenelon also agrees to pay (A) additional $10.00 fee per contest as is required by Ordinance No. 4 of 1933 and (B) the entire cost of current for lights used by him at each contest. Mr. Fenelon further agrees to furnish a cash deposit of $200.00 as a guaran- tee to comply with all conditions of the contract. (2) Proposal from Mr. H. A. Engel of Dubuque, Iowa, offering, in line with the notice of bidders, to pay $30.00 per night for use of the Ball Park. It is also as- sumed that Mr. Engel would pay the $10.00 additional sum for each contest and pay for the current for light. The higher bid from Mr. Fenelon is $21.00 more per contest, or for the 8 contests will net the City $168.00 more than the second bid. Accordingly, the writer recom- mends the acceptance of the higher bid and suggests that a contract be authorized to be drawn and exec- uted for these wrestling and boxing contests during 1935. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be accepted. Seconded by Councilman Roberts. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. May 20, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Mrs. A. M. Kluseman Of 1160 Julien Avenue phoned the writer this morning requesting that information be submitted to the City Council today suggesting and re- questing that the Council be repre- sented and appear in the Decoration Day parade to be held May 30th, starting at 2:00 P. M. The parade will form at Jackson Park at 1:30 P. M. In the past it has been the custom for the Council to accompany this parade and it is hoped that a deci- sion will be made today to cooperate with the committee. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Roberts moved that the invitation be accepted. Second- ed by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. WATER DEPARTMENT. City of Dubuque, Iowa. May 20th, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council. Gentlemen: Replying to your com- munication of May 17th, relative to the payment of $100.00 to the Du- buque Traffic Association, please be advised that the carload shipments received by the City Water Depart- ment for the year of 1934 amounted to five carloads. I have checked the carloads receivd by the City of Du- buque, with Cletus Allen, at the City Garage, for the year 1934, and find they received seven carloads. It seems that if there is any di- rect benefit for the money paid to the Dubuque Traffic Association that the City of Dubuque received a greater benefit than the Water De- partment, and it will be only fair to charge one-half of the bill to the Water Department and the other half to the City of Dubuque. Respectfully submitted, WATER DEPARTMENT, J. W. McEvoy, Superintendent. Councilman Roberts moved that the City Water Department be in- structed to pay a $50.00 fee to the Dubuque Traffic Association. Second- ed by Councilman Chalmers. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. May 17, 1935.

Nays—None. May 20, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Please find the fol- lowing report on present Billboards on City owned property: AREA 1. RAFFERTY SLOUGH LOCATION. (A) Dubuque Poster Advertising Co. (Mr. Louis Murphy). By verbal areement made in 1924 by Mr. O. E. Carr, this company has had the right to erect and maintain billboards up to 10 in number, along South Locust Street, provided that one board was to be used to adver- tise industrial sites for the City. No rental charge was to be made for Special Session, May 20th, 1935 139 these ten boards, as per the verbal agreement. By a survey today, the following actual billboards of the Dubuque poster rI industrial Tract Gng Co. r at n Osouth- east corner of South Locust and Railroad Streets, the 25 foot long board closest to Railroad Street has been and is still used for advertising City owned industrial sites. Five other Murphy sections, each 25 feet in length and located south of the board designated for City use, are still erected on this lot. On Industrial Sub. D-1, at Locust Street near Charter Street, the Du- buque Poster Advertising Co. has al- so erected and has in use two large billboards, totalling 100 feet in length. These above mentioned lengths total 250 feet, whereas the portion used for City advertising is 25 feet, as per agreement. (B) South of the board advertis- ing the City industrial sites, the City Council approved a petition from the Thos. Flynn Oil Company to erect a small 25 foot board for the yearly fee of $10.00. This site was viewed by the Council April 3rd and the agreement was authorized by the Council April 22nd, 1935. This board Is erected and painted, but not yet used. The $10.00 fee for this year is not yet paid. (C) By Council action of Septem- ber 6th, 1932, the Molo Oil Company was granted the right to erect a large billboard on the Industrial fill east of Locust Street for the sum of $20.00 per year. This board is on Industrial Sub. F-2 near Camp Street; the total length of the board is 60 feet. The $20.00 yearly pay- ment has been made up to Septem- ber 12th, 1935. (D) No other wooden sign boards exist on Rafferty Slough. However, by the Council action of February 4th, 1935, a request from the Erie Cafe was granted to permit a paint- ed advertisement on a large stone on City owned Lot 1 of Levi's Add. on the west side of South Locust Street for $5.00 per year. The first $5.00 was received February 7th, 1935, but as yet the former Newkirk Filling Station sign has not been re- moved by the Erie Cafe. (E) A question that arose today is as to whether or not the bill- board, or a portion thereof, owned by Bradley & Maclay, north of Southern Avenue on the west side of Locust Street, is on Lot 14, Levi's Add., owned by the City. Mr. John Maclay advises that if the board is on City property, that the same will be moved as he purchased two lots in the Levi Add. and two more in Randall's Sub. AREA 2. FOURTH STREET LOCATION. (A) The Julien Dubuque Hotel Company operates a billboard on the north side of East 4th Street on Lot 4 of Industrial Sub. No. 2. This loca- tion is west of the Ball Park and east of Adams Street. Authorization for this board was made by the City Council July 7, 1930. The yearly fee charged is $20.00. The length of the present board is 40 feet. Payments on this billboard site have been re- ceived by the City up to July 7, 1935. (B) The Dubuque Poster Adver- tising Company also made a deal to operate approximately 10 boards just west of the Ball Park Grand- stand on East 4th Street. A record of this approval by the City Council is in the November 21, 1927, min- utes. The accepted yearly offer was $50.00 per year. Today our investi- gation shows that west of the Ball Park only three billboards are still erected. These boards are located on (a) 25' section on Lot 3, Indus- trial Sub. No. 2; and (b) 50' section on Lot 7, Industrial Sub. No. 2. An- other present 75' section is now lo- cated east of the Ball Park and near Pine Street and is immediately east of the Ball Park fence. This section is new and has been substituted by the Dubuque Poster Advertising Company when their former several boards were removed from Block 22 of the Dubuque Harbor Improvement Company's Addition just west of the Ball Park, or where the present parking space is used for the pat- rons at the Ball Park. While in 1927 the agreement permitted as many as ten boards, or 250 feet of length, to- day there is in use 150 feet or six boards. Payments have been made on this agreement to November 2, 1934. The delay since November 2, 1934, in this year's payment has been discussed with Mr. A. F. Schrup. Mr. Schrup has requested us to wait until Mr. Louis Murphy returns to Dubuque again. (C) Three small individual signs, viz. Julien Dubuque Hotel 8'x10', Bright Light Sign Company 4'x6' and Ed. Bartel's Cabins 3' x 5' are now in use on the north sidewalk of East 4th Street just west record ower Street. No authority so for any permission of these three signs. (D) Two other small signs are at present on City owned Lot 9, Indus- trial Sub. 2. These signs are adver- tising the Diamond Cafe 2'x51 and the Barnsdall Oil Company 8'x 10'. No authority is on record for these two signs. 140 Spccial Session, (E) Another 60 foot sign of the Molo Oil Company is located south of the Ball Park. Mr. Bart llfolo is away today. We have not yet deter. mined whether the actual location is on a City street, possibly on Bell and Wall Street intersection, or on private property. However, the own- er of private propertyat this ithato point, Mr. Jos. Rhomberg, ad deal was made with him for this sign board. An agreement should be im- mediately made with the Molo Oil Company for this use. AREA 3. GARFIELD AVENUE LOCATION. Present signboards on lots taken over by the City for non-payment of taxes and assessments are located on Lots 2 and 3, McCraney's 1st Add., at east side of Garfield Ave- nue, south of Marshall Street. These signboards are apparently owned by the Dubuque Poster Advertising Company. Four signs, 25 feet each in length, are erected. This property was formerly owned by Frank Beu- tin and was deeded to the City in 1927. No compensation is received yearly and no agreement is on rec- ord for these billboards. Mr. Beutin is still living on City owned Lot 8, south of these lots, or at Dock and Garfield. He pays no rent. Another lot used for a small living quarter is approximately Lot 4. Mr. Chalders, the renter, pays rent to Mr. Beutin, the former owner, we are advised to- day. This question should be deter- mined. MISCELLANEOUS SIGNS. A few additional small signs are discovered as being located on City street or sidewalk areas, principally on Rockdale Road, Lincoln Avenue and Rhomberg Avenue. No author- ity is on record for these. Since these various questions have arisen, it seems advisable to recom- mend an investigation to be made as to the use or rental of all properties now owned or deeded to the City. The City may be losing revenues from tenants or not securing rentals from property now owned by the City. A complete list of tax sale certificates should also be prepared and kept on record. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman g ed that the communication Of City vManager Evans be referred to the City Conn. cil. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The Planning and Zoning Commission has been peti- tioned by the owners and/or tenants of seven business properties, located within residential areas, for relief from the new Iowa State Beer Law, which law prohibits the sale of beer within said areas. As these seven business establish- ments were in the business of dis- pensing beer prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, and are now embarrassed only due to the necessity of having their licenses re- newed, we have given each petition deep consideration in order to avoid making the Zoning Ordinance, in its application to these cases, retro- active in effect. It is manifestly not the intent of the Iowa Statute, auth- orizing city zoning, that our Zoning Ordinance be retroactive in any way hence our broad action in these cases. We, therefore, recommend: 1. That Lot 1 of 11, part of G. R. West's Dubuque, be changed from "Multiple Family Residence Dis- trict" to "Local Business District"; and the East 20 feet of the North 65 feet of Lot 2 of 11, Part of G. R. West's Dubuque, be changed from "Single Family Residence District" to "Local Business District." 2. That Lots 2 of 5 and 2 of 6, Brecht's Addition, be changed from "Two Family Residence District" to "Local Business District." 3. That the East 68 feet of the North 62 feet of Lot 24, L. H. Lang - worthy's Addition, and the East 12 feet of the West 92 feet of the North 62 feet of Lot 24, L. H. Langworthy's Addition, be changed from "Two Family Residence District" to "Busi- ness District." 4. That Lot 1 of 3 of 107; Lot 2 of 1 of 2 of 107; 'and the North 44 feet of the West 11 feet of Lot 1 of 2 of 107, all in L. H. Langworthy's Addition, be changed from "Two Family Residence District" to "Hea- vy Industrial District." 5. That the South % of Lot 1 of the Subdivision of South 16 feet of Lot 156 and Lots 157 and 158, Fin- ley's Addition, be changed from "Single Family Residence District" to "Local Business District." 6. That Lot 1 of 1 of City Lot 731 be changed from "Two Family Residence District" to "Local Busi- ness District." 7. That the North West 50 feet of Lot 5 of Kneist's Sub.; and Lots 1.1 to 20, all inclusive, of Smedley's Sub.; 'and Lots 12 to 33, all inclu- sive, of High Street Sub.; and Lots 17 to 40, all inclusive, of Cook's Ad- dition, be changed from "Two Fam- ily Residence" to "Local Business District."

Resolution No. 77.._35, called Almighty this eternall irewardm, has one of Dubuque's most lovable and loyal citizens,—Glen Brown. It would be folly to estimate his loss to this com. munity. He was a truly great man, a most patriotic citizen and a Pub- lic official of the highest rank. The passing of time will only emphasize his worth. We pause in reverence to his memory. On March 10, 1916, Glen Brown was appointed by the City Council of the City of Dubuque to fill the vacancy upon the Park Board created by the death of his illus. trious predecessor, the Honorable O. P. Shiras. From the moment of his appointment until his death, on June 4, 1935, he served with honor and distinction in that capacity. The de- velopment of the Park system under his guidance during these years bears testimony to his zeal, his ideals and his untiring devotion to service. While possessing unlimited capacity for work in his beloved pro- fession, and always a busy man, he gave generously of his time to the public service and to the progress and prosperity of his city. He worked so that our people could play and enjoy wholesome recreation un- der the most pleasant surroundings. No wonder he held a place of high esteem in the hearts of his fellow men. We mourn his loss, but we re- joice in the thought that this city has profited on account of his ser- vices as a man, a citizen and a pub- lic servant. Therefore, it is fitting and proper that this Council cause this Resolu- tion to be adopted so that the senti- ment herein expressed may be per- petuated in the permanent and of- ficial records of this City and serve as a memorial to the life and ser- vice of Glen Brown.

RESOLiiTION AND APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO INCREASE FIRE MAINTENANCE LEVY FOR THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA. Whereas, the revenue in the Fire Maintenance Fund for the City of Dubuque, Iowa, on the 2.50 mill basis, will be inadequate to meet the actual and necessary expenses of maintaining the Dubuque Fire De- partment during the ensuing fiscal year; and Whereas, by the passage of the recent act, designated Senate File 144, by the 1935 Iowa State Legisla- ture, the City of Dubuque has the right to make a request and secure approval from the State Comptroller to increase the Fire Maintenance Levy from 2.50 mills to 3.50 mills; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa, that the State Comp- troller be and he is hereby peti- tioned for his approval to the City of Dubuque to levy an additional tax of .55 mills (or a total levy of 3.05 mills) for the 1935 Fire Main- tenance Levy.

Whereas, the revenue in a certain fund of the municipality set out in the within application is inadequate to meet the actual and necessary expenses which must be paid from said fund and any extraordinary or unforeseen expenses which may arise during the ensuing fiscal year; and Whereas, the inadequacy of the revenue referred to is deemed to constitute an emergency which re- quires the levy of an emergency tax; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa, that the State Comp- troller be and is hereby petitioned for approval to levy an emergency tax for the year 1935, in the sum of 1/2 mill on assessed valuation of $32,376,610.00 = $16,188.00, (not ex- ceeding one (1) mill), said tax to be used as set out below. Consolidated Tax Levy Requested To Be Benefitted. Reason. Due to the yearly reduced taxes levied by the City of Dubuque, since 1930, and because of the 33% reduction in the assessed valuations, since 1930, the maximum of 7.00 mills for the Consolidated Tax Levy will not be sufficient to meet de- mands for regular city operation and will not permit the renewal of cer- tain needed equipment, including street trucks, ambulance, etc., which must be replaced due to the near failure of said equipment because of many years of service.

REASON Due to the yearly, reduced taxes levied by the City of Dubuque, since 1930, and because of the 33% re- duction in the assessed valuations, since 1930, the maximum of 7.00 mills for the Consolidated Tax Levy will not be sufficient to meet de- mands for regular city operation and will not permit the renewal of cer- tain needed equipment, including street trucks, ambulance, etc., which must be replaced due to the near failure of said equipment be- cause of many years of service.

Gentlemen: Attached is a revi. sion of Resolution No. 85, pertaining to the former authorization of the City Council to file applications for 45^Jo grants for three paving and one sanitary sewer project. A complication arose at Mr. Hop- kins' office at Des Moines after this resolution was passed on June 26th and after the applications had been prepared and delivered to Des Moines. The reason for the change is that recently the Federal author- itles determined that 45% grants could not be considered through F. E. A. of Public Works Division un- less the total cost was in exce.3s of $25,000. None of these separate four projects are as much as $25,000, but the total of the four is over $33,000. On July 27 Mr. Hopkins requested authority from the city to combino these three paving and one sewer project. A tentative resolution was prepared and sent to him for ap- proval July 29. Today, he has re- turned a slightly amended section of this resolution. The same is pre- sented for the consideration and ap- proval by our City Council. The chief point outlined in this combined request was that sr'parate bids were to be taken on cldn pro- ject and that the City Council would have authority to award eacii co -,,- tract to the lowest responsll)1.3 bid- der on each project In order to leg. ally assess the 55% :1alance, nlr. Hopkins, by letter of August I,, has approved the coudi ion of awarding the separate pr.)j.-,cts by the Council. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City lldaua_-c!r.

A resolution, amending Resolution No. 85 passed by the City Council of Dubuque, Iowa, on the 26th day of June, 1935, further autt.orizin,.; the City Manager of Dubnque, lova, to combine certain of the paving and sewer requests for a _15r' grant from the Federal Government into one separate project and also filiu:; a separate application for an clevated `Vater Tank. Whereas, by Resolution No. 85, passed by the City Council of Io- buque on the 26th day of Jung, 1915, the City Manager of Dubaque, Iowa, was authorized to file separate appli- cations for three paving, c•ne ;ew?r and one elevated water tank prole( is Including: PAVING (1) Bluff Street from West 3rd to West 8th Streets.

WATER TANK (1) New Elevated 750,000 Gallon Water Tank. Whereas, by information received since the passage of Resolution No. 85, it is deemed advisable to com- bine the paving and sanitary sewer projects and present them as one application to the Public Works Administration, as one application; Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa: Section 1.

(B) CONSIDERATION FOR ELIMINATION OF TWO BIDS. Bids No. 1 and 4, as above out- lined, are suggested to be under con- sideration of elimination. Bid No. 1, by the Peerless Pump Division of the Food Machinery Cor- poration was based on the included gasoline engine being made bthe Waukesha Motor Company. the bids were received, we have checked this particular gasoline en- gine and have determined that this Waukesha engine has not had the approval of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, as is definitely required, and was stated in our specifications. No other alternate gasoline engine was included in this bid. Bid No. 4, as listed above, f(/0m Kretschmer-Tredivay Company, tains certain infor11- mation as to guar - to antees of et'n be used by theelectric nuotort for pumping water frons the deep well that are not in line with the other bids. The reasonsfo�e due tol the ing this bid No. 4 st��ted low percentage of etficiency of the pump and the excessive amount of current required to oPcr 212 Special Session, August 30th, 1935 ate the pump by the electric motor. Actual guarantees of current neces- sary for water pumping of the five bids are as follows at the stated 1,750 Gal. per minute: K.W.H. per 1000 Gals. Bid 1. Peerless .486 Bid 2. Fairbanks, Morse & Co. .501 Bid 3. Morrison Bros. & Co ....... .502 Bid 4. Kretschmer-Tredway Co. .690 Bid 5. A. Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. .500 Accordingly, the required current per 1000 gal. on Bid 4 at .59 K.W.H. is approximately 19% above the average of that of the other four bids. Accordingly, from the original bids, it would seem that both Bids 1 and 4 should be eliminated. In regard to Bid 1 of the Peerless Company, which included the state- ment that the Waukesha gasoline engine was approved by the Under- writers, the Dubuque city officials have determined that this is abso- lutely in error. Since our investiga- tion, we received a wire, dated Au- gust 28, from the Waukesha Motor Company advising that they had not as yet had approval from the Under- writers on this particular engine. We were shown on August 28th a letter from the Waukesha Motor Co., dated prior to August 26th, ad- dressed to the Peerless Pum.p Divi- sion, stating that the same gasoline engine was approved by the Under- writers. The representatives of the Peerless Pump Division were very sorry for this error in their bid which was entirely the fault of the Waukesha Motor Company, and not theirs. At 4:00 P. M. Wednesday, August 28th, a letter from the Peerless Pump Division was presented to the writer, and is attached hereto, stat- ing that due to the failure of ap- proval to date of the Waukesha en- gine, said Peerless Pump Division would agree to furnish and install, instead of the determined non. approved Waukesha engine, a defin- itely known, approved new gasoline engine made by the Climax Engin- eering Company of Clinton, Iowa, designated R -4-U, for the same sum as their original bid, viz. $7,361.47. A serious question is whether or not a change of equipment can be considered in any formal bid after the same is opened and tabulated. Determination of the elimination, or consideration, of this lowest bid is presented to the Council. In regard to Bid 4, following the tabulation of bids and comparison of the guarantees of efficiency and amount of current necessary for operation, we were advised August 28th by 'an engineer from. the Cool: Company that errors were made in their bid regarding, first, the effic- iency which should have been stated at a higher percentage and also, second, in regard to the amount of current necessary which should have been considerably less than stated in the bid. (C) ANALYSIS OF OTHER BIDS The second lowest bid was from Fairbanks, Morse & Company. The construction of pumps by this com- pany is at San Francisco, California. Motors are built by the same firm at Beloit, Wisconsin. Statements as required in the bid as to the number of pumps built by this firm include the information that this firm has been building deep well pumps for only six years. Total available records show only 17 pumps of 16" size and one pump of 20" size that have been sold by this firm in the entire United States. The guaranteed K.W.H. of current necessary for pumping 1,000 gallons of water is fairly low as previously stated in "B." Certain necessary comparative data, however, was not Included in this bid as to power costs at higher and lower capacity than 1750 gallons per minute, as was required to be outlined in the spec- ifications. The third bid, from Morrison Bros. Company of Dubuque, included an American Well Works as made at Aurora, Illinois. This company has been building large pumps for 28 years. Their records show that in the State of Illinois, alone, there have been sold and installed seven Pumps of 17" size; 13 pumps of 20" size, and eight pumps of 24" size. The R. G. Dunn records do not provide a rating for the American Well Works. This firm is and has been in receivership for several Years. However, it was learned that this receivership was not due to finance, but to equity, as the firm has over $500,000 in surplus at present. The guarantee of electric current consumption for this pump and motor at 1750 gallons, as stated in "B," is but slightly in excess of Bids 2 and 5, viz. Fairbanks, Morse, and McDonalds. The fifth bid in actual price as submitted by the A. Y. McDonald Mfg. Co. includes certain conditions that are for consideration. The Sterling Pump Company which manufactures the deep well PUMP is located at South Bend, In- diana. This company is rated "B" by the R. G. Dunn records, which signifies good credit. ooh: in Eric. Aed Iso, of mId han nom Phe om- nia. irm Special Session, :august 30th, 1935 213 The gasoline engine, as included, is also made by another Sterling Engine Company at Buffalo, N. Y. The rating of this company is AAA -i- 1. Advantage in this gasoline en- gine type includes the only available remaining bid of a 6 cylinder engine. (Others are 4 cylinder). This Sterling Gas Engine design is recognized by many city and private utilities as the highest type of avail- able engine and is used by many municipalities. Last year, after in- vestigation, a 6 cylinder, larger sized Sterling Engine was purchased by us for use at the Kaufmann Ave- nue Water Station. Same has proved to be efficient. It is used monthly for a test. Records of sales of the large Sterling Pump include: at least 200 deep well pumps of 16" or larger size are now in operation in the United States. The period of these exclusive turbine Pumps has been 25 years. The guaranteed K.W.H. per 1000 gallons at 1750 gallon rate of water pumped is the lowest of the five bids, except the guarantee from the Peerless Division, which possibly cannot be considered. From available data submitted on efficiency, the Sterling pump seems highest of all at the designated point, viz. 1750 gallons per minute, which is our basis determination from the well test, and should the water level recede in the well, the Sterling curve s h o w s materially higher efficiency at the lower water levels.

As above shown in the tabulations of the different bids, we believe the Sterling and American pumps make the best showing for both efficiency and oper- ating costs per 1000 gallons, pump- ing 1,750 gallons per minute. Another definite fact is that both of these two companies have manu- factured large turbine deep well pumps for 25 years or more. The price submitted by the A. Y. McDonald Mfg. Company for a Ster- ling Pump with six cylinder Ster- ling gasoline engine, pumping 1,750 gallons per minute, with no alter- nates, was $8,460.00. The price submitted by :Morrison Eros. Co. for an American Pump with six cylinder Sterling gasoline engine as alternate, pumping 1,750 gallons per minute, was as follows: Base Bid, Climax Gas En- gine......................................$8,281.00 + For Sterling 6 Cyl. Gas Engine ............ .................... 365.00 $8,646.00 We therefore recommend the pur- chase of a Sterling Pump and Six Cylinder Sterling Petrel Gasoline Engine from the A. Y. McDonald Mfg. Company as they submitted the lowest total bid on this basis. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. J. W.

September 18, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Attached is a sum- mary of comparisons of yearly in- debtedness, as of April 1st, for the City of Dubuque, since 1919. Division has been made as to Gen- eral, Water and Dock indebtedness. The statement includes total out- standing debts, less actual sinking funds and the net indebtedness of both the General and Water funds. The Dock Bond retirement plan does not include a sinking fund, as each year a definite number of bonds are planned to be, and have been re- tired. The Grand total of the three types of bonds shows that the peak of the net total indebtedness was in 1928. Since then the total net indebted- ness has been reduced yearly, ex- cept in the year 1931. In regard to General Indebtedness, the net total as of April 1, 1935 was but $9,241.42 more than April 1, 1919. Now, more than the $9,241.42 has been added to the Sinking Fund so that at pres- ent the net General Indebtedness of the City is less than in 1919. Respectfully admitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved to re- fer the communication of City Man- ager Evans, with attached summary, to the City Council for considera. tion. Seconded by Councilman Jaeg- er.

Gentlemen: At the regular meet- ing of the City Council September 3, 1935, a verbal discussion arose as to the past and present methods of employing and working the five Water Plant Engineers and the Chief Water Plant Engineer. The basis of unfair service was that these six employees of the Water Plants have been required to work seven days per week, or every day of the year, except during their two weeks, vacation. The decision of the City Council, upon the recommendation of the Water Superintendent and the City Manager. was that an immediate change be made in the required working days per week for these six employees; that the seven day basis be changed to a six day period and that each of the engineers be allowed one day off duty per week, including a two weeks' vacation. The present budget rate of salary is to be continued to each of the six en- gineers and, if necessary, another engineer, with proper experience, is to be added to the Water Plant force. The purpose of this letter is to have this decision made a matter of record, in this emergency case. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: At the meeting of the City Council held Wednesday, Sep- tember 25th, a petition dated Aug- ust 29, 1935, signed by eight names, requesting the construction of a new Sanitary Sewer on Pear Street was referred to the City Manager. Attached is a sketch showing a possible plan for a new sanitary sewer system to benefit the follow- ing six areas: West Side Area (1)—Middle of Lot 122, owned by E. J. Mulligan, including only a vacant lot, but petitioned by owner. Area (2)—North portion of Lot 122, owned by West Hill Chapel Church, including a frame church, not petitioned. Area (3)—Lot 9 of Sub. Lots 95 to 98, owned by N. J. Ewert, in- cluding a house numbered 249, not petitioned, and object to for any sew- er assessments by the owner, an elderly lady. Area (4)—Lot 8 of Sub. Lots 95 to 98, owned by J. P. Rodham, in- cluding a house number 245, but pe- titioned by owner. It is believed that the southern portion of Lot 122, at the northwest corner of Rush Street and also Lot 1 of Sub. Lots 95 to 98, at the south- west corner of Cleveland Avenue are both served by present sewer ser- vice and neither lot can be assessed for this new sewer. East Side Area (5)—North portion of Lot 121, owned by C. W. Hartman, in- cluding a house number 270, but pe- tioned by owner. Area (6)—South portion of Lot 99, owned by D. Breithaupt, includ- ing a house numbered 250, but pe- titioned by owner. It is also believed that the south- ern part of Lot 121, at the north- east corner of Rush Street, and the northern part of Lot 99, at the south- east corner of Cleveland Avenue, cannot be assessed for this new sewer, as both lots are served at present with sewer provisions. To serve the petitioned owners of lots highest in elevation on Pear Street and providing for the natural flow of this proposed sewer leading to Rush Street, the total length of the new sewer would be approxi- mately 255 feet. The location of this main Pear Street sewer is des- ignated at the center of Pear Street. My recommendation is that the Petition be accepted and that provi- siong be started for the proper pro• ceedings for this sewer construction based upon a hearing, advertise- ment, receipt and acceptance of bids, authorization of a contract and levy of special assessments to the own- ers of the possible six areas above stated. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Regular Session, October 7th, 1935 231 Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved. Seconded by Councilman Roberts. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. October 2, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: This is to advise that an inquiry was made today by a personal visit of Win. Gassman, who lives at 796 Alpine Street, in regard to any possible reduction in pen- alty and interest on both delinquent taxes and delinquent special paving assessments in connection with the property designated as Lot 1 of 5 and Lot 2 of 1 of 2 of 5 of part of Subdivision of Mineral Lot 149 lo- cated on the south side of Dodge Street across the street from the south end of Alpine Street. The area of these two above men- tioned subdivisions of lots is ap- proximately 50 ft. along Dodge Street by 94.3 ft. in depth. There Is located on at least a portion of those two subdivisions an eight room house occupied at present by two families. These two subdivi- sions of lots were formerly owned by Mr. Elmer J. Lynn who died about a year ago. Since the death of Mr. Lynn, the mother of Mr. Lynn has agreed to sell this property to the applicant, Mr. Gassman. From the City Treasurer's record, special assessment delinquent prin- cipals, excluding interest, are as fol- lows: Dodge Street paving --$94.72, Dodge Street boulevard lights= $13.28 and information from the County Auditor, Mr. Peter Kies, shows that the delinquency in reg- ular tax amounts to $220.62. It is believed that this does not include any penalties or interest on regular taxes. The applicant's request is that if money can be borrowed and taxes and special assessments paid up to date, what reduction can be made In interest and penalty on both de- linquent taxes and special assess- ments? Your decision is requested as quickly as possible on his be. half. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Jaeger moved that Mr Wm. Gassman be granted permission to pay the principal of delinquent special assessments plus 6% inter est and advertising costs, the bal ante of penalties and interest to N waived, levied against Lot 1 of and Lot 2 of 1 of 2 of 5 of part o Sub. of Min.

Paul Braun, C. I. Kra- jewski and David Howie have re- ported that they will together view the six reported, unsafe buildings, including five different locations, on Tuesday, October 1st, at 9:00 a. In. with the Building Inspector and that the inspection and report service of the committee of three will be on the basis of a charge of $10.00 per each man, or a total charge of $30.00 for the investigation of the six separate buildings. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the report of City Manager Evans be approved. Seconded by Council- man Roberts. Carried by the follow- ing vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. September 28, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A request was sub- mitted to the City Council Septem ter deration and au - t horitytof permitconcertain ertan sidewalks to be located and constructed by owners of property on York Street between (Requests in 1935e and Curtis t tfrom Messrs. J. N. Blades and C. A. Brink.) The decision of the Coun- cil was to view this location on Friday, September 27th. Sep- tember at 4:00 p. m 27th, the entire Council viewed York Street and the position, widthand slope ofn ta all York Street sidewalks as follows: That all the sidewalks on both the east and west sides of York Street, between Dodge band e located urtis tate retsor could not properly ro er- within one foot thetrequire- ty lines as is the general or ment by ordinance . Th Wae duefto the determined change the ground slopes on both sides of ority from the City this street. Auth 232 Regular Session, October 7th, 1935 Council was that the future location of all sidewalks to be constructed in this area shall start two feet six Inches from the face of the respec- tive curbs; that the required width of said sidewalks shall be V-00"; and the elevation, or slope, of said sidewalks shall be on the basis of 1/4", per foot, rise from the top of the newly installed curb to the in- side edge of said sidewalks. It was further determined that, due to the approved change of side- walk location, the City Engineer should require that all future side- walks on this block of York Street be uniform as to location, width and slope. No decision was made that all sidewalks must be immediately con- structed on this street. Property owners who desire to install side- walks are now permitted to con- struct the same on the basis of the above decisions as to location, width and slope. This report of your decision is submitted- for the purpose of pro- viding a matter of record. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Roberts moved that the decision of the City Council be approved and made a matter of rec- ord. Seconded by Councilman Chal- mers. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. September 28, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On Friday afternoon, September 27, 1935, the entire City Council drove to Avoca Street and viewed four lots, designated Lots 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Mill's West Dubuque Addition. This viewing was in ac- cordance with the verbal request on August 26th from Mr. Zemanek to reduce the delinquent penalty and Interest on a special assessment made on these lots for a sanitary sewer on Avoca and Green Streets. Attached are: (A)—Copy of principal, penalty and interest to date on unpaid as- sessments on the four lots. (B) --Pencil sketch of location and size of the four lots. (C)—Pencil statement showing or- iginal total assessments, yearly prin- cipals required to be paid on each assessment, but excluding the re- quired interest on the unpaid por- tions of said assessments, also in- cluding portions of the yearly prin- cipal already paid on the four lots and delinquent principal on said four lots due since March 13, 1932 on lots 9 and 10, and due since March 13, 1933, on lots 7 and 8. The Council were advised that the owners of these four lots were or- iginally assessed for this sanitary sewer improvement on March 13, 1929. The owners at the time of assessment were the Voelker Real. ty Investment Corporation of Du. buque. Four payments of the yearly principal on lots 7 and 8 have been made to date and three payments on lots 9 and 10 to date. On De- cember 1, 1930, the City of Dubuque assumed tax sale certificates on these four lots due to non-payment of taxes. Again on November 30, 1931, the City Council authorized ad. justment of the tax sale by removal of the penalty and for the payment of delinquent taxes on the basis of 6% interest. This delinquent tax payment was finally made by Mr. F. R. Zemanek, Jr., on August 13, 1935. This decision of the City Council, as made September 27, 1935, was that no reduction could be made in the original sewer assessments on these four lots; that the delinquent yearly amounts of principal should bf) paid, but that the penalty was to be removed provided the owner would pay the delinquent yearly principals on each lot and then pro- vide for entire interest payments on the outstanding principal at the basis of 6% interest. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the report be declared to be the de. cision of the City Council. Second- ed by Councilman Roberts.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: An application has been filed with your Honorable Body by persons engaged in the barbering trade within the City of Dubuque, requesting the adoption of an Ordin- ance regulating the business of bar- bering. You have referred the same to me for an opinion. It is requested that an Ordinance be adopted pre- scribing Sanitary regulations and fix- ing the rates of charges to be ex- acted by all engaged in the barber- ing trade, for services rendered to patrons. Authority for such an Or- dinance is found in House File No. 173, recently enacted by the legislature. The purpose of House File No. 173 is declared in its title and preamble. The title states that it is "an act declaring a State and National Em- ergency to exist affecting the ser- vice trades within the State of Iowa, declaring the necessity for ordin- ances providing for fair competition among service trades"; "authorizing Councils to enact such ordinances providing fair competition among such trades;" providing for applica- tions to the governing body for the establishment of ordinances provid- ing for fair competition, and provid- ing a penalty for violation of the Provisions of ordinances so adopted." The preamble in Section 1 de- clares: "A State and National em- ergency, productive of widespread unemployment and disorganization of trades which burden commerce and affect the public welfare, is here- by declared to exist, causing an em- ergency which injuriously affects the morale and standard of living and threatens to affect the industrial Peace and safety and health of the People of the State of Iowa. Among the trades affected are those in which services are rendered upon or to a person or persons without nec- essarily involving the sale of merch- andise. In such trades there is ruin. ous price -cutting, widespread unem- ployment and economical distress, and for the purpose of ameliorating such conditions, it is necessary and desirable to authorize the adoption of ordinances providing for fair com- petition applicable to such trades in the various cities and towns of the state as provided in this act." Section 2 restricts the applica- tion of the law to "personal service trades," so called, and exempts "trade schools." Section 3 provides for the filing of an application with the Council, signed by 70% of the owners, operators and managers of all businesses engaged in such trade, requesting an ordinance, and Section 6 requires that the application con- tain the provisions thereof. These provisions authorize the adoption of such an ordinance. Section 7 pro. vides that when such ordinance is adopted then and "thereafter it shall regulate as to the matters contained therein the conduct of every person engaged in such service trade." Section 5 provides that a violation of any of the provisions of such or- dinance shall constitute a misde- meanor and be punishable by fine or imprisonment, and makes each day of violation a separate offense. As stated, the main features of the proposed ordinance are to pre- scribe sanitary regulations and to fix the prices and charges to be ex- acted by those engaged in the bar- ber trade. The objective to be at- tained by the ordinance is the "amel- ioration of ruinous price -cutting; widespread unemployment and econ- omical distress." My opinion is di- rected to the constitutionality of the law passed by the legislature and whether or not an ordinance adopt- ed pursuant thereto would be legal. It might be said at the outset, that the mere fact that the legisla- ture has declared that an emergency exists in the service trades, does not inject constitutionality into the law if it is otherwise unconstitutional. Any law or ordinance that might be adopted is tested by its constitution- ality irrespective of an emergency which may be declared to exist. It will be observed that the law authorizes the enactment of an or- dinance governing particular trades or businesses, and when such an or- dinance has been adopted it affects all within that particular trade or business area and provides for the imposition of very severe penalties upon anyone who should violate its provisions. It is a penal ordinance. Even though the legislature has enacted a law giving to cities the right to enact ordinances governing the service trades, the law itself must be valid and constitutional in order that the ordinance be valid and constitutional. In other words, the ordinance is not legal simply be- cause there exists a statute author- izing the enactment of the same. We must then look to the consti- tutionality of the statute itself to determine whether or not an ordin- ance adopted pursuant thereto would be legal. For the purpose of this Special Session, October 17th, 1935 241 opinion, I determine this question in the light of the submitted applica- tion, that is to say, "Is this statute constitutional when it authorizes cities to enact ordinances which fix the rate of charges for services ren- dered by service trades?" We have two inquiries to make: First, Can barbering be regulated under the police power of the City in the manner proposed? Second, Is barbering such a business as is sub- ject to public regulation in the man- ner proposed? To answer the first question we must know what is meant by "the police power." Police power is lim- ited to the promulgation and enforce- ment of measures reasonably de- manded for the pubic health, morals, comfort, safety or general welfare of society. In its application, however, it is not unlimited. On the contrary, any restriction on the use of prop- erty is a taking of the property, and such restrictions of whatever nature imposed by a city, irrespective of the power granted by the State, must be shown to be within the per- mission of Federal and State Consti- tutions. Every exercise of this pow- er must conform to personal and property rights, granted, recognized or secured to citizens by the Consti- tution. To restrict the use of private property, such restrictions are jus- tified only when necessary to pre- serve or promote the public health, morals, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the inhabitants of the City. Any regulation which transcends such public purposes.fails as a lawful exercise of the police power. The Constitution protects life, individual liberty and private property from governmental en- croachment. Any law, therefor, what- ever may be the intent of the fram- ers, and irrespective of the demand or public opinion supporting them, which authorizes unreasonable inter- ference with individual action or personal liberty, or with the use of private property, will be condemned as unconstitutional. "Liberty" means freedom to go where one may choose, and act in such manner, not inconsistent with the equal rights of others, as his Judgment may dictate for the Pro- motion of his happiness; that is, to Pursue such callings and avocations as may be most suitable to develop his capacities, and to give to them their highest enjoyment. There can be no doubt that, in the exercise of the police power, the City can enact reasonable regulations for the con. duct of barber shops in so far as they affect sanitary and kindred needs and the use of private prop- erty may be regulated to that ex. tent, but that is entirely different from prescribing regulations as to the compensation which the owner of the property can exact for its use or for services rendered by him. The legitimite exercise of the pol- ice power will not sustain undue in. terference Nvith the conduct of law- ful business. In order to justify such interference in behalf of the public, it must appear, First: That the in- terests of the public generally, as distinguished from those of a par- ticular class, require such Interfer. ence; Second: That the means adopted are reasonably necessary for the accomplishment of the pur- pose, and not unduly oppressive up- on individuals. The power must be exercised only to promote the public good. Any interference by a city or state with the liberty of the citizens in the conduct of his lawful business beyond a point reasonably required for the protection of the public un- der the guise of a police regulation, will be unjustified. The test must al• ways be, whether or not the regula- tion has a reasonabe and substan- tial relation to the legitimate pur- pose to be accomplished; that is, if such regulation is necessary to con- serve and promote the public health, morals, safety, convenience, comfort and advance the general welfare. On this branch of the case, it is my opinion that the Council cannot enact an ordinance which fixes the prices to be charged by barbers and justify such ordinance, upon the ex- ercise of the police power. There is no direct relation between such sub. ject and the health, morals, comfort, safety or general welfare of the in habitants of this city, in my view of the case. We turn now to the second ques- tion, "Is barbering such a business as is subject to regulation in the manner proposed?" It is an established rule of law that prices may be fixed and services regulated only in those employments or occupations which 'are affected with a public interest. Is barbering so affected? It is uniformly recognized that there are three be said classes to be affected ess which mayo as to ted with a public interest Those o allow public regulation; perat- Ing under a franchise from the es- tablished lic. 2nd. Those which, by 10119 custom have c to ebe to as having public while tion; and 3rd. Those which, not in their inception wereclothedwith a public interest, public voting their busines veno an the use, the public is g 212 Special Session, October 17th, 1935 therein, and thereby the owner sub- jects_the business to public regula- tion to the extent of that interest. Barbering must fall within the third class in order to be subjected to pub- lic regulation. The mere legislative declaration that a business is affected with a public interest is not conclusive. In a sense, the public is concerned about all lawful business, because it contributes to the prosperity and well being of the people. The public may suffer from high prices and strikes, but the expression "clothed with a public interest" as applied to a business, means more than that the public welfare is affected by a continuation of the business, or by the price at which a commodity is sold or a service rendered. The cir- cumstances which clothe a partic- ular kind of business with a public interest must be such as to create a particularly close relation between the public and those engaged in it and raise implications of an affirm- ative obligation on their part to be reasonable in dealing with the public. Where public regulation is author- ized in the interest of the people, such regulation is directed usually to the fixing of a maximum price or charge which may be exacted of the Public for a commodity or service. The suggested ordinance proposes to fix, in affect, a minimum price. In other words, the benefits which will be expected to come to the public from the adoption of the ordinance will be on account of higher prices for a given service than others en- gaged in the same business may be willing to exact for the same service, and the protection of the health of patrons. It has never been supposed that the business of the butcher, the baker, the tailor, the shoe shiner, the clothes presser, was clothed with such a public interest that the price of his produce could be fixed by state or municipal regulations. One does not devote his property or busi- ness to the public use or clothe it with a public interest merely be- cause he makes commodities for sale, or sells to the public or ren- ders a particular service to the pub. lic in the common callings of which the above are instances. The thing which causes a business to be Clothed with a public interest is the indespensible nature of the service, and the exorbitant charges and ar- bitrary control to which the public might be subjected without regula. tion. If the common callings are "clothed with a public interest" by a mere legislative declaration, there must be a revolution in the relation of government to general business. This will be running the public in- terest argument into the ground. Property becomes clothed with a public interest when used in a man• ner to make it of public consequence and affect the community at large. It is no more unreasonable to say that the merchant who sells his merchandise to the public is a pub- lic merchant; or the blacksmith who shoes the horses for the public is a public blacksmith or the garage which repairs cars for the public is a public garage, than to say the bar- ber who cuts the hair of the public is a public barber and that by a mere magic of calling them so they would be brought under legislative control. If it can be said that barbering is "clothed with a public interest" so that it can be regulated by law so as to prices, then the legislative body may possess the power to fix prices at whatever point will best serve the public. It is the public that is to be protected and not a partic- ular trade or industry. Carrying this thought to its ultimate conclusion, if the Council had this extraordinary power, it might fix the rates for such services at so low- a point that many operators would be required to quit business while others might be able to carry on. The public, in this time of depression might be benefited by the lower rates, and since its in- terests are to be considered, such an exercise of power might be sus- tained. Barbering is a private business. It is not "clothed with a public in- terest." Price cutting directs itself to the trade itself without any direct relation to the public interest. It is my opinion that if the statute is intended to authorize the fixing of rates and charges to be exacted for barbering, it is unconstitutional and any ordinance enacted pursuant thereto will be illegal. I beg to advise the Council that the foregoing opinion is personaland based upon my conception of the law. I am aware that there are prece- dents to the contrary, particularly the opinion of Judge Frank S. Shank - land of lies Moines in a case where- in an identical ordinance was de- clared legal. I may be wrong in my opinion under the law. The Council has the authority to adopt the ordinance. I am very much impressed with that portion of the ordinance which Prescribed sanitary regulations for the promotion of the health of bar- ber shop patrons. Information has come to me that many barber shops Special Session, October 17th, 1935 are being conducted in an unsanitary manner and in violation of the Rules of the State Board of Health, which are designed to prevent the creating and spreading of infectious and con- tagious diseases. That portion of the ordinance relating to this subject is good. If such or similar regulations were adopted and enforced, and bar- ber shops could not continue in busi- ness under such regulations, they would either have to go out of busi- ness or exact such a charge as would be sufficient to compensate them for such services. It may be true, and no doubt is, that barbers who are now charging cut rates for barbering ser- vices are able to do so because they do not comply with the regulations of the State Board of Health. Such shops should be made to comply in the interest of health and there could arise no complaint from the public for enforcing such provisions. Many cities and towns have adopted the proposed ordinance. I don't know now of any case which is pending before the courts challenging its le- gality. Some other cities have re- fused to adopt it. In conclusion permit me to point out two other thoughts in connection with House File No. 173. In the first place, it is declared to be emergency legislation. One of the difficulties, however, is that the duration of the emergency is not defined and there is nothing in the Act to indicate how long the emergency shall continue and, consequently how long the Act shall be in effect. In other words, who is to determine when the emerg- ency has ceased to exist? Of neces- sity, when the emergency has pass- ed, then the law and any ordinance adopted pursuant thereto, will die. Of course, the Council has the right to repeal the ordinance at any time. However, in my opinion that does not supply the omission from the Act itself in failing to fix its dura- tion. In the next place, the Act provides for the submission to the Council of an ordinance by 70% of the oper- ators of barber shops, and when such ordinance has been submitted the Council can either reject or ap- prove the same in whole or in part. If the Council enacts the ordinance in whole or in part as submitted, thereafter such ordinance shall regu- late as to the matters contained therein the conduct of every person engaged in such service trade within the City. In other words, it is the ordinance submitted by 70% of the operators of barber shops which must be adopted in whole or in part, and none other. If, therefore, the Council should determine that the 243 Prices fixed in the submitted ordin- ance are too low or too high it has no authority to enact an ordinance changing those prices. They are those prices or none at all. In my view of the case, this resolves itself into a delegation of authority to 70% of the operators of barber shops to fix the prices and, in effect, the dele. gation of authority to legislate for all engaged in the barbering trade. If that is to be the effect, then the Act would be invalid as the delega- tion of legislative authority to a non - elective body. An answer to this might be that, in final analysis, it is the Council which adopts the or- dinance. But the difficulty is, that the Council does not have any auth- ority to fix a price other than the ones provided for in the submitted ordinance. As I said, it is that rate or none.

Mr. Abeln's term of re -appointment would have expired March 5, 1940. (5 year term). In checking over the complete list of appointments today, it appears that also one other consideration is now necessary. The term of Mr, John Kerper, of the Dock Board expires November 26, 1935. The Dock Board membership is based on a 3 year term. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Roberts moved that Mr. John A. Kerper be reappoint- ed a member of the Dock Board for a term of three years said term to expire November 26th., 1938. Sec- onded by Councilman Jaeger. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. November 4, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A study has been made of the petition filed October 28, 1935 by Mr. C. J. Elgin of 1978 Cox Street. The request was for a sanitary sew- er provision for Mr. Elgin's home at Lot 4, Cox Street. Said peti- lion was referred to the City Man- ager for a report. Mr. Elgin's home, on Lot 4, Cox Street, which is iii part of Jack- son 8cLoo1 Sub., is approximately 170 feet south of the present 8 inch sanitary sewer at the center of Kirkwood Street. Properties on Kirkwood Street on 11cth sides of the Cox Street inter- section have been assessed for sani- tary sewer construction on Kirk- wood Street and could not be in- cluded in any new sewer plan for Cox Street. If a sewer were built •,11 Cox Street, in front of Lot 4, the grade would be toward Kirk- wood Street and the south termin- us of said new project would be near the line of Lots 10 and 11, on the east side of Cox Street and at the top of this Cox Street steep grade. South of the present Cox Street highest elevation range there is now in operation a sanitary sewer tart- ing at the alley, itcth of Street and flowing southwardly to Angella Street and then eastwardly on Angelia Street. Accordingly, a main sewor nn Cox Street flowing southwardly from the highest. grade north of Angella Street toward Kirkwood Street would be of an approximate length equal to 400 feet. Mr. Elgin's house is the only pres- ent building within this possible sew- er area. Other lots on the east side of Cox Street and the large, but 2 on the west aide invaluable of eet are CoxSt e of very low lys not dassumelOassessments ns and ldfork a sewer. Therefore it would seem ro thatvide the only possible way to �j 254 Regular Session, November 4th, 1935 Mr. Elgin's immediate sewer service would be fnr him to properly install a 6 inch sewer connection along the middle of Cox Street from Kirk- wood Street to near the north line of his Lot 4. Then, in the future, if other property owners desire this eame sewer provision, arrangements could be made, as have been done In the past, as at Cherry and Avoca Streets, for a portion of said pay- meni-, to be made to Mr. Elgin by others who would use this sewer. Attached is a sketch of this area. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Jaeger moved that the report of City Manager Evans be approved. Seconded by Councilman Chalmers.

Gentlemen: At 8:30 this morning Mr. Wm. Yokom called from Water- loo and advised that the partial al- lotment had been approved today for the Dubuque Swimming Pool. This information is also in today's issue of the Des Moines Register, page 15. The amount that he mentioned was $29,913.00. He also mentioned another sum of $9,292.00 which we Interpret as being a portion of the amount to be spent by the city and local investors. The two sums total $39,205.00 which Mr. Yokom also mentioned. No mention of the location was made on the phone. We presume that the approved site at Eagle Point Is the location on which the pool will be started and completed. Mr. Yokom requested that, if pos- sible, we come to Waterloo today, Special Session, November 12th, 1935 but I advised that a Council meet- ing was to be held at 4:00 P. M. to- day and it would be impossible. Ac- cordingly, he has arranged a meet- ing at Waterloo at 9:00 A. M. to- morrow and Mr. Cullen and I are planning to go. Mr. McCauley will also go with us. We will have to definitely present preliminary plans for the pool and determine immediately as to the type of structure of bath house and as to whether or not a roof is to be immediately constructed on this bath house. Mr. Yokom has also made a re- quest for Mr. George A. Nelson, En- gineer at Boone, Iowa, to meet with us tomorrow and, if possible, have a set of plans in connection with the recently constructed swimming pool and bath house at Boone. The tentative outline of plans as was sub- mitted to Mr. Yokom in September was based on a new design of pool at Buffalo, New York, which is re- viewed in the American City Maga- zine of September, page 33. A sim- ilar pool is also constructed at Bur- lington, Iowa. The question now mast be deter- mined by the City Council as to whether Mr. Krajewski, the architect who prepared three sets of plans for the P. W. A. proposed grant and loan for the desired Swimming Pool at Dubuque, is still to be an architect for the city in the design of possibly the bath house and water purifica- tion equipment. By our interpreta- tion of the allotment from the W. P. A. Administration, our City En- gineer is required to design the Swimming Pool itself and this can be done. We plan also to inspect several pools tomorrow or the following day in regard to details and attempt to secure definite plans on the same, including the cities of Marion, Ot- tumwa and Burlington, if possible. Inasmuch as Mr. Krajewski has spent considerable time without any payment whatsoever, it may be the desire of the Council that he be fur- ther employed to design the bath house at least. For your information, it is nec- -sary to secure final approval of the design of the bath house and also the pool from the State De- partment of Health at Des Moines. Details were discussed by the writ - ter with Mr. A. H. Wieters Wed- nesday of last week. Mr. Wieters mentioned that the elimination of the present roof over the bath house was one of the main features to pre- vent athlete's foot and other skin diseases that have prevailed in many of the covered present bath houses. Mr. Yokom also advised this morn- ing that he would attempt to secure 259 immediately the additional amount of money necessary from the Federal Government for the completion of filling and leveling the general sur- face around the pool after comple- tion of the same. The question was then discussed with Mr. Yokom as to whether or not this would be started immediately and he said yes, depending on the weather; that he wanted the pool built this fall if possible. Requesting your authority to make this immediate trip and hoping for your decision in regard to the archi- tectural work on the bath house and water purification equipment, I am, Respectfully yours, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Roberts moved that City Manager Evans, City Engineer Cullen and Recreational Director McCauley be authorized to make the trip as requested.

Graham, Chairman of the Retail Merchants' Bureau of Dubuque in regard to the following subjects: 1. Permission to have a parade, starting at 11:00 A. M. on Saturday, November 30th, including boys, Pon- ies, seven floats and several bands. This parade would form near the Chamber,of Commerce on 9th Street and the parade would come east on 9th Street to Main, north on Main to 17th, east on 17th to Central, south on Central to 11th, west on 11th to Main, south on Main to 2nd, west on 2nd to Bluff and north on Bluff to the park between 6th and 7th Streets. Two motorcycle policemen are requested to escort the parade and as many other policemen are requested to guard the parade at the various intersections as is possible. Regarding this parade, additional requests are made to temporarily block off a portion of 7th Street be- tween Locust and Bluff, for the lo- cation of a cabin, between the hours of possibly noon to 5:30 P. Al. on November 30th. This cabin is to house Santa Claus for the general interest of young children of the city. Two policemen are also re- quested to be stationed at the cabin to heln control crowds which can likely be done after the parade is ended. A request is also made to tempor- arily block off at least a portion of 9th Street between Iowa and Cen- tral, north of the Boys' Club build- ing, for the temporary storage of certain ponies, camels and other an- imals that are being sent in- for this parade by a circus. 2. The second request is that, as was done last year, the city assume the cost of current for the extra lights to be placed in the business district from Thursday, November 28th, to Wednesday, January 1st. Last year request was also made for two electricians of the city to as- sist in the lighting installation. This year the request is that one city elec- trician be provided to place a fuse block connection at or near the loca- tion of the cabin at Washington Park. It is stated that this fuse block should be 110 volts, 60 cycles, and to carry 3000 volts. Inasmuch as this parade and the location of the cabin on 7th Street, opposite the Elks' Club, must be arranged for in approximately ten days, it is requested that your de- cision be made on S Novem- ber 23rd, regarding these statements s and requests.

Re: RECOMMENDATION FOR AN ARCHITECT ON SWIMMING POOL Gentlemen: In connection with the new W. P. A. Swimming Pool Project approved by Mr. Wm. L. Yokom, District Director, for a total t of $60,435.47, it would seem that the Swimming Pool contract should be revised with Mr. C. I. Krajewski, the architect. On September 6, 1935, a contract was made with Mr. Krajewski, as authorized by the City Council, on the basis that Mr. Krajewski would furnish plans, specifications and pro- vide service of inspection during the pool construction on the basis of not to exceed 5% of the total cost of the pool, etc., but also limited to a condition that prior to actual start of the pool construction, a final agreement be executed with the architect as to terms of pay- ment to said architect. Five per cent (5%) of the present project sum, now set at $60,435.47, would amount to $3,021.77. The outline of the W. P. A. ap. proved project is different than the P. W. A. plan. Mr. Yokum, as Di- rector, will supply certain proper supervisors of this project, the City will also provide certain engineer- ing service, and the architect's du- ties will not be so great as was contemplated under the P. W. A. plan. Accordingly, Mr. , Krajewski has agreed to reduce his former fee from slightly over $3,000 to $1,800 on the basis that he will still prepare any additional flans and specifications for: .... (a) The Swimming Pool. (b) The Smaller Bath House complete. (c) Purification System for Water Supply. (d) All Plumbing Arrangements. (e) Fence, Concrete Walks, etc. (f) Miscellaneous Details to fully complete and operate the pool. Mr. Krajewski will also provide special engineering, plumbing and filtration service, as well as partial supervision for the bath house puri- fication details and the entire project. The complicated, necessary ar- rangements for sanitary operation of a Swimming Pool are vital. Mr. Krajewski has already spent about $700.00 without payment from the City for the same, on three different P. W. A. denied pool plans. Now that Mr. Krajewski has agreed to provide this necessary service for $7,800, which is slightly less than 3.00% of the total cost Of the entire project, it is my recommendation that his fee of $1,800 be accepted, as was tentatively agreed upon by the Council November 27th. As to a method of paying this $1.,800 to the architect, Mr. Krajews- ki's request is that 25% of his fee be paid during the progress of his Regular Session, December 2nd, 1935 275 work on the plans and the balance upon the completion of plans and specifications. It is my recommendation that the 25% of the $1,800 be paid as quick- ly as possible and that a portion of the 75% of the $1,800 be paid (luring the actual construction and the final portion be paid ulron pro- per operation of the pool equipment. It. is also recommended that a definite new contract be executed with Mr. Krajewski, based on the the City of Dubuque that the follow- ing application be and the same is hereby approved and it is ordered that the premises to be occupied by such applicant shall be forthwith inspected: CLASS "B" PERMIT.

Gentlemen: Trouble has arisen during the last few years in our traffic lights due to excessive heat caused by the former 60 watt globes in the lights. The trouble was due to the contact fingers being burned off and damaged. In order to eliminate this condi- tion, we have now changed part of the globes from 60 watts to 40 watts. It is believed that the 40 watt lamps will be cheaper and cause less dam. age to the traffic signals. Changes made to date, with re- duction in power costs, authorized by the Interstate Power Company, include: 9th and Main— Per yr. Per yr. Reduced from $200 to $168 7th and Main— Reduced from 200 to 168 8th and Main— Reduced from 200 to 168 8th and Locust— Reduced from 200 to 168 14th and Locust— Reduced from 200 to 168 20th and Central— Reduced from 150 to 120 Past Yearly Costs .... $1,150 New Yearly Rates .....................$960 As quickly as the additional 60 watt globes burn out in the 4th and Main Street lights and in the 14th and Central Avenue lights, these will also be replaced with 40 watt globes. The total saving in power for these eight sets of traffic signals will be $254.00 per year. Costs will be further reduced by smaller globe Purchase prices and we hope the re. Placement of materials in the sig- nals will also be reduced. The smaller type of globe was re- cently recommended by the General Electric officials. Their original sug- gestion was for the 60 watt globes when the signals were ordered.

Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The writer was re- quested and did meet with Mr. H. A. Haupetli, the new operator of the Maizewood Corn Stalk Plant to- day. Mr. Haupetli made the following requests: Regular Session, Pccember/$ft 1935 That Charter Street from Main Street west to Salina Street be filled in as quickly as possible; that cin- ders be placed immediately on this same area to provide proper en- trance to his plant from Main Street; that the rubbish be cleaned up east of the plant where dumping has occurred for some time; that his sewer connection be checked; and that weeds be eliminated from along Salina Street. We have agreed to start and finish this general cleaning up and necessary road pro- vision as quickly as possible. Further conditions as requested by Mr. Hauptli, under the Council's authority, are: 1. That a street light be placed on Salina Street near the Charter Street intersection. At present there are no city street lights on Salina Street between Dodge Street and Railroad Street (3 blocks). It is recommended that one 400 C.P. over- head light, costing $45.00 per year, be authorized by the Council for im- mediate use. 2. That the Council grant to the Maizewood Company the right to store a comparatively small volume of corn stalks on the city owned property east of Hi&krison Street and close to the southwest end of this plant. It was stated that no large volume of corn stalks would be brought into the city, as was a former fire hazard when the large corn stalk piles were used. The large volumes will be stored in the country and brought into the city by small amounts as needed. Accord- ingly, the authorization of use of but a small city area will provide for this storage request on a por- tion of the west section of city owned, Section B of the Industrial Sub. The Maizewood Plant is now be- ing repaired and improved by a large number of local mechanics. Shortly the operation of this plant will start. Will you kindle take action on these two outlined requests? Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Jaeger moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A local minister fell on the northeast corner of the inter- section of White Street and 20th Street late one night this week. He was not seriously injured, but re- ported that when the filling station lights, on Central Avenue and 20th Street, were turned off, that White and 20th Street was very dark. No present street light is installed at this intersection. This summer, after the traffic signal was installed at 20th and Central, we had to paint the east side of the globe of the boulevard light on the west side of Central Avenue at 20th Street. The purpose of the painting of this globe was to permit drivers at night to see the new traffic signal equipped with only 40 -watt globes. The former installed boulevard light has one 600 watt globe and was almost in direct line behind the traffic signal and ser- iously interferred with traffic com- ing west on 20th from White to Central. This distance from Central Ave- nue to Jackson Street, especially near 20th Street, is rather short. However, due to blanking the Cen- tral Avenue light, and due to un- familiar traffic on Federal Route 61, it is apparent that a light should be installed on White Street at 20th Street. My recommendation is that a small, 100 C.P., overhead, new, street, all-night lamp be authorized by the Council for this location, the same to cost $24.00 per year. The saving by the authorized removal of the unnecessary 3-25 watt globe sig- nal at Rhomberg Avenue at the Chi- cago Great Western Railroad cross- ing will more than pay this addition- al cost.

The only bid received was from the White -Phillips Company. Attach- ed is the proposal signed by Mr. S. A. Beck and his calculation of interest, as checked by us. This pro- posal offered $60.00 more in a prem- ium than was included in the report made to the Council on December 2, 1935, and was based on immediate action by the City officials. The analysis of the total premium offered and accepted, 'in addition to the payment of specified interest to date, also paid, includes: Premium of $92.50 per $1,000 of the 24 bonds = $2,220.00. Details on interest paid includes: A.

As this Is a logical extension of the Mul- tiple -Residence District existing at West 5th and Hill Streets and is in line with the development of this block into Multiple -Family Build- ings, we recommend to your Honor- able Body that Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, all in Demming & Horr's Ad- dition, be rezoned from Two -Family Residence District to Multiple -Fam- ily Residence District.

Gentlemen: Concerning the letter from Mr. Louis Lorenz which you referred to the Planning and 'Zoning Commission on October 7th, we wish to advise that our Board acted ad- versely on a similar request direct- ed to the Planning and Zoning Com- mission at a previous meeting held October 7th. However, y1our com- munication was again read at our regular December meeting Tuesday, December 3, 1935, and after further study and discussion, it was unanim- ously agreed that no new points had been presented to alter the Commis- sion's original stand on the matter. There appears a grave danger that a Four Apartment House as pro- posed might develop into a blight on the present attractive two-family district. Remodeling into a two-fam- ily residence would cost Mr. Lorenz less money, and eventually would work out for the general good of the neighborhood. Assuring you of our readiness and willingness to confer further either with City Council or Mr..,jorenz on this matter, we remain, Yours very truly, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, By R. V. McKay, Secretary. Councilman Jaeger moved that the report of the Planning and Zon- ing Commission be approved and that the petition of Mr. Louis Lorenz be received and filed.

Mr. Art Bennett, President of the Dubuque Trades and Labor Congress addressed the Council requesting that action be taken on the resolu- tion as presented by the Dubuque Trades and Labor Congress protest- ing as to the wages paid and hours allotted on W. P. A. projects. Resolution No. 172-35 Whereas, a Resolution adopted by certain organizations and interests on November 10, 1935, relative to the establishment of prevailing wage scales of W. P. A. projects and oth- er matters has been submitted to this Council for endorsement; and Whereas, it is the opinion of this Council that said Resolution points out certain conditions which should be investigated by Federal Admin- istrators on such projects which need correction, but, in other re- spects, such Resolution is too broad in its language and may result in de- feating the purposes sought to be ob- tained; and Whereas, in order to make plain the attitude of this Council with ref- erence to the matter approved by it: Be it resolved that the practice of discriminating among workers on account of age be discontinued if such practice exists. Be it further resolved that the practice of denying opportunity to work on W. P. A. projects of men who were not on relief on May 1, 1935, but who are now on relief or in such financial condition that they need relief, be discontinued and that no discrimination be made in such cases, providing such practice exists. Be it further resolved that the Council recommends to Federal offi- cials in charge of W. P. A. projects in Iowa to increase wage scales paid to W. P. A. workers beyond the scale now fixed if such increase can be made without detriment to the projects or the Federal funds allo- cated for projects of such character. Passed, adopted and approved this 14th day of December, 1935. M. R. KANE, Mayor. JOHN K. CHALMERS, W. S. ROBERTS, PETER S. SCHILTZ, F. M. JAEGER, Councilmen. Attest: J. J. SHEA, City Clerk.

December 14, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In connection with Your instructions as to the analysis of the two bids received for the Ele- vated 750,000 Gallon Water Tank at 10 o'clock today, please be advised that Mr. George Griffith of the P. W. A. Administration, City Water Works officials and the writer have carefully checked all the questions that were to be filled in by the two bidders. We have found that both proposals are fully outlined and are apparently complete projects. It is our recommendation that the cheaper price, namely from the Pittsburgh -Des Moines Steel Com- ,0 v. Special Session, December Aftd, 1 pany for the sum of $57,726.00 be ac- cepted and the contract tentatively awarded on the basis of the original proposal, Items A, B and C, and if necessary changes have to be made in this proposal, we also can state that the Alternate A, as bid upon regarding concrete foundation, is slightly cheaper as bid by the Pitts- burgh -Des Moines Steel Company. The second alternate varies $3.00 per foot of column height by the two bidders, but the bid of the Pitts- burgh -Des Moines Steel Company is $3.00 more per foot if the height is shortened as we anticipate may have to be done. Accordingly, the total original bids and all the alternates are to our ad- vantage from the Pittsburgh -Des Moines Steel Company. This tentative award today by the City Council is on the basis of the approval of the State Director of the P. W. A. prior to the final award of the contract by the Council. Outline of two bids, including Sec- tions A, B and C, Pittsburgh -Des Moines Steel Company=$57,726.00; Chicago Bridge & Iron Works= $59,500.00. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At our special meet- ing December 13th, at which time the resolution approving proposed site of new 750,000 gallon Water Tank was passed by our Commis- sion, the general discussion devel- oped some sympathy for the views of Mr. Wunder and Mr. Gauvin, ad- joining property owners, that the value of their properties would be adversely affected. The Commission studied the situa- tion and agreed that the purchase of the two lots between the proposed site and College Street so that the Water Department would have full control and care of the entire site to College Street, would practically remove such objections. With the tower at the back of the property from West Third Street, close to the middle of the east -west line of the five lot area, and the proposed beau- tifying of the general site, the entire project could be made very attrac- tive. Thus, the Planning and Zoning Commission takes the liberty to rec- ommend to City Council that the two lots in question be acquired if possible and added to the present site. Respectfully submitted, CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. By R. V. McKay, Secretary. Councilman Chalmers moved to re- ceive and file the communication of the City Planning and Zoning Com- mission. Seconded by Councilman Jaeger. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers and Jaeger. Nays—None. Absent—Councilmen Roberts and Schiltz. December 23, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Saturday, December 21st, we received the twelfth 1935, r 296 Special Session, December 23rd, 1935 monthly, tax return from the Du- buque County Treasurer. This De- cember total payment was $32,012.19 and includes city taxes collected in November, 1935. We receive all monthly payments about three weeks after the end of the previous month. Following is a statement of total city yearly tax levies to be collect- ed by the County officials and actual returns made to the City during past calendar years. This is not a com- parative statement of actual yearly levies and collections per year by the County, but it is a comparison of the levies and amounts received each calendar year by the City. Var- iation, per year, in levies is not large and the purpose of this outline is to indicate approximately our delin- quency in taxes to date. over the title to said properties and no payments made for one year later. Local banks in many other cities are loaning money for tax collections. Every possible effort to encourage payment of delinquent special as- sessments is also required. A further analysis of the 1935 col- lections indicate that of the total levy (=$608,986), the percentage of total collections (=$571,338.33) was 93.82%. However, delinquent taxes in this total of $571,338.33 collected were over $45,000, showing that to date our current yearly collections are still about $83,000 under the levy. If further information or assist- ance is determined by the Council, every possible effort shall be made CALENDAR YEARLY CITY LEVIES AND ACTUAL CALENDAR YEARLY RECEIPTS BY CITY OF DUBUQUE, YEARS 1928 TO 1935 Yearly Calendar Yearly Total Total Tax Receipts Year Tax Levies By City Surplus Shrinkage 1928 ..................$711,369.00 $717,680.46 $6,311.46 $................ 1929 .................. 733,875.45 730,545.42 ............ 3,330.03 1930 .................. 722,469.49 715,073.19 ...........1 7,396.30 1931 .................. 718,780.96 703,092.66 ....... 15,688.30 1932 .................. 676,433.00 606,792.55 ............ 69,640,45 1933 .................. 650,681.00 545,400.03 ............ 105,280.97 1934 .................. 572,977.00 527,274.79 ............ 45,702.21 1935 .................. 608,986.00 571,338.33 ............ 37,647.67 Total Levies $5,395,571.90 Total Collections ........................$5,117,197.43 Surplus (Applies to Former Delinquency)................$6,311.46 Shrinkage..........................................................................................................$284,685.93 – 6,311.46 $278,374.47 The shrinkage of $284,685.93 since 1928 will never all be collected. This includes levies on certain property on which taxes were cancelled by the Council and certain reductions after the date of levies were also authorized. If 50%, or around $140,000, could be collected in our delinquency, it would provide for the $75,000 trans- fer to the Sinking Fund, also help in our needed funds to purchase tax sales pertaining to delinquent special assessments and for excess expendi- tures on assistance to relief projects for 1935 and previous years. Our old street equipment is rapidly going to pieces. In certain other U. S. cities per- sonal contacts with tax delinquents have recently resulted in far better collections. Surely every possible effort should be made immediately to assist the Dubuque County offi- cials to encourage payment of de- linquent taxes, rather than having the necessity of the County taking to encourage the partial elimination of our delinquency.

Gentlemen: For your consideration please find attached my reports on Dubuque traffic accidents and fire losses dur- ing the 1935 year and also certain other similar yearly comparisons. An outline is also included of yearly traffic arrests and convictions. There is also attached a copy of a letter sent to the National Board of Fire Underwriters regarding: (81), fire losses; (b) Fire Department in- formation; (c) Water Department finances, debts and accomplishments. At the end of this letter there is a request for consideration from the National Board of Fire Underwriters as to a reduction in the Dubuque res- idential fire insurance rates. It has been my past practice to report, at the end of each year, to the Under- writers as to our results and accomp- lishments. It is felt that every effort should shortly be made to secure a reduced residential insurance rate in 1936. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: Upon release January 3, 1936, of the traffic accident record of our city for the year 1935, a visit to my office was made by Messrs Paul Nauman and Thomas J. O'Donnell, officials of t:he Order of United Commercial Travelers. A statement was made by these two gentlemen that their national and local organizations were inter- ested in traffic safety results and would now cooperate with the Du- buque police and other citizens to reduce accidents. They offered to furnish a sign, to be installed by the city, at the entrance of each of the local Federal Highways, urging by their organization to "DRIVE SAFE- LY." Attached is picture of sign. The width of this sign is approx- imately 4 feet. No sign can be erect- ed on a sidewalk space, but it is be- lieved that definite locations can be secured that will not interfere with pedestrians. If you will kindly grant the auth- ority for this erection of these safety signs, it may help our 1936 records. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: In connection w i t h your instructions to the writer to contact Mr. Harry Schiltz to see whether or not he would serve on the Board of Adjustments, please be advised that this afternoon I finally contacted him, explained the entire situation as to activities, no compen- sation, duties and power and he ad- vised that he would be glad to ac- cept the appointment if made by the Council. Mr. Schiltz will succeed your for- mer appointee, Mr. A. P. Abeln, who died last fall. Mr. Abeln was ap- pointed, as with the other four mem- bers, on March 5, 1934. Mr. Abeln's term originally was for one year 10 Special Session, January 23rd, 1936 which expired March 5, 1935. On July 1, 1935, Mr. Abeln was again appointed for a five-year term, or until March 6, 1940. Accordingly, it would seem that Mr. Schiltz's ap- pointment should be to the same date of expiration, namely March 5,. 1940. Mr. Schiltz advised also that, if possible, he would serve until this time unless some position was avail- able for him outside the city, in which case he might have to resign. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Jaeger moved that Mr. Harry Schiltz be appointed as a member of the Board of Adjust- ment to fill the unexpired term of Mr. A. P. Abeln, deceased, said term to expire March 5th, 1940. Seconded by Councilman Chalmers. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. January 20, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On Wednesday, Jan- uary 15th, Mr. W. H. Metcalf of the Pittsburgh -Des Moines Steel Com, pany and two experts of the same company came to Dubuque and made a study and analysis of our new elevated steel water tank project. The original total price of the con- tractor's bid was $57,726.00. How- ever, a decreased price of $150.00, per foot, was included in this pro- posal for a possible reduction in the length of all the steel columns. No change is now planned as to the top of the tank heighth. This top section of the new tank is to be on the same level as the top of the higher, present standpipe. The pro- posed change is now due to the sug- I;ested raising of the concrete foun- dation five (5) feet higher than we originally planned. The concrete foundation in this particular con- tractor's specifications will be at least 9' 6" deep. By raising the en- tire foundation five feet, the bottom Of the concrete will still be below the level of the West Third Street gutter. The top of the concrete foundation will now be above the ground level of these lots so that rain, ice and leaves will not cover the points where the steel columns will rest on the concrete foundation. This reduction in c $750.00. ost will be Another point seriously considered by these tank experts was the thick- ness of the plates of the 25' high section of the tank which is to hold 50,000 gallons of water. Their bid was based on a standard thickness of steel as follows: Top 7' 6" vertical section of steel —1/," in thickness. Next lower 7' 6" vertical section of steel—fl" in thickness. Lowest 10' 00" vertical and entire bottom section—%" in thickness. On last Wednesday these experts studied our water hardness, etc., and stated that the thickness of steel, as in their original bid, would likely last for 20 years. The question was then discussed as to an increase of thickness of at least 1/s" of all the plates of the tank. They first stated that an increase of 1/s" for all ver- tical and bottom tank plates would likely cost from $4,000 to $5,000 more. However, after a long discus- sion and their contacting their rec- ords, a final tentative agreement was made to increase the above mentioned three thicknesses of the vertical steel plates and the bottom of the tank plates each by 1/s" more than stated in their bid, for a total increase in price of $1,500.00. This increase is based on no piofit, but as to actual cost of steel and extra freight. It was also stated that by increasing this entire tank plate thickness by 1/s", that the life of the tank would likely be increased by at least 100%. A letter was received today confirming these two changes in total cost. After our determination as to the changes in prices, including one re- duction of $750.00 and one increase Of $1,500.00, making a net increase of $750.00, we wrote to Mr. P. F. Hopkins and advised him of the recommendations and the tentative agreement as to these changes. To- day a letter was received by Mr. Hopkins approving these two changes which will increase the P. W. A. 45% grant by $337.50. The City net total cost will also be in- creased 55% of the $750.00, or $412.50. It is the recommendation of Mr. John McEvoy and the writer that these outlined two changes be offic- ially approved by the City Council so that an agreement can be imme- diately made with the Pittsburgh - Des Moines Steel Company and Mr. Hopkins as to these changes. This Will greatly benefit the life of this Project. Attached is a Resolution for your action. Copies of Mr. Hop- kins' and Mr. Metcalf's letters are attached in case you desire to read them.

Resolution No. 4-36 A Resolution authorizing the rais- ing of the top elevation of the new concrete foundation of the 750,000 gallon steel Water Tank five (51) feet higher than originally planned and increasing the entire thickness of the vertical and bottom steel tank plates by 1/s of an inch more than as outlined in the lower bid, which was accepted and approved by the Council on December 14 1935. Be It Resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City' of Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa: Section 1. That -since the depth of concrete foundation of the Pitts- burgh -Des Moines Steel Company's bid on the new elevated steel water tank is outlined to be at least 9' 6" deep; and Whereas, this depth of the con- crete tank foundation will be at or below the level of the West Third Street pavement by even raising the entire concrete foundation five (51) feet higher than originally planned; and Whereas, a saving of $150.00 in the steel columns can be secured by raising concrete foundation, each fdot, above the original planned elevation; and Whereas, by raising the entire concrete foundation by a total of five (5') feet, the bottom of the steel columns will be above the ground level where rain, ice and leaves will not damage the steel base, if the same were lower: Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the City Coun- cil agrees to authorize the raising of the top level of all the new water tank concrete foundations five (51) feet higher than originally planned. A saving in total cost shall be, on the basis of the bid of the contract- or, at $150.00 per foot of decreasing the length of the steel columns for a total of five (5') feet, or a saving of $750.00. Sec. 2. That since the date of sub- mission of bids for this elevated steel water tank, a further analysis by experts has been made by the Pittsburgh - Des Moines Steel Com- pany and their belief is that, due to the Dubuque extreme hardness of water and in accordance with their standard specified thickness of the steel water tank plates, this tank will last approximately twenty (20) years; and Whereas, the contractor has now agreed to increase the thickness of all vertical and bottom tank plates by % of au inch more than as sub- mitted in the bid, for a total sum of $1,500.00, which includes no extra profit to the contractor; and Whereas, said increase of % of an inch in thickness in all vertical and bottom plates of said elevated tank will materially strengthen the entire project and will likely double the life of the tank: Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved that the City Coun- cil agrees to authorize the increase of the thickness of the vertical and bottom plates of this entire tank by 1/s of an inch more than specified in the approved bid, for the total additional cost of $1,500.00. Sec. 3. Be It Further Resolved by the City Council that the Water Superintendent, City Clerk and the City Manager of Dubuque be author- ized to provide and execute an amendmeni. to the original contract for this water tank on the basis of the two above mentioned changes at a net increase in total cost of $750.00; and further since this in- crease in total cost has been sub- mitted to the P. W. A. officials and their tentative approval of an in- crease in the 45% grant of $750.00, equal to $337.50 has been approved by Mr. P. F. Hopkins as of January 13, 1936, that full information be sent to Mr. P. F. Hopkins for his final approval and authorization. Passed, adopted and approved this 23rd day of January, 1936. M. R.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Today we have had a discussion with Mr. W. J. Brown who has furnished the City Treas- urer's bond to Mr. Otto Puls for several years. The original amount of this bond was $50,000 and about the year 1932 it was increased an- other $25,000, making a total of the two bonds covering the City Treas- urer, of $75,000. Due to the fact that this bond has been in existence for a number of years, the present $5.00 rate per each thousand of the bond, 12 Special Session, January 23rd, 1936 was never charged to the City. In other words, for at least three years we have been paying only $300.00 for the $75,000 total of the bond. According to the new Legislative Act of 1935 passed by the 46th Gen- eral Assembly, listed as Chapter 59 on Page 79, it is required that the bond of the City Treasurer shall be in the sum of not to exceed $10,000. According to the 1935 Code of Iowa, it is stated in Chapter 287, includ- ing Section 5654-G-1, "Bond Amount —The bond of the City Treasurer shall be in the sum of not to exceed $10,000." Mr. Brown has requested that due to the fact that it is a compulsory requirement to reduce this Treas- urer's bond, that a resolution be Passed by the Council authorizing said reduction. Kindly consider the attached resolution. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to receive and file the communication of City Manager Evans.

To the Honorable February Mayor ands City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On May 6, 1935, four (4) of our Resolutions were passed and adopted requiring all railroad companies that operate in our city to eliminate inadequate and part time gate and Ragman service. The Resolutions included: Resolution 64-1935—Chicago Great Western Railroad Co. Resolution 65-1935—Illinois Cen. tral Railroad Co. li Resolution 66-1935—Chicago, Bur - Quincy Railroad Co. Resolution 67-1935—Chicago, Mil- �'aukee, St. Paul & Pacific R. R. Co. The new requirements in each of February 3rd, 1936 these resolutions specified that each Railroad Company was ordered and required to provide, install and op. erate, for the entire 24 hour period of each day, a modern, approved, electrically operated, flashing light and rotating disc stop signal at each of the streets in the city, where previous provisions had been requir- ed for gate or flagman service for the entire day and night, or for a part time day period. During the consideration of which type of signs should be determined, we had splendid cooperation from the Iowa State Board of Railroad Commissioners, through their engi. neer, Mr. H. A. Franklin. Other data was secured from the Signal Engineer of the Minnesota Railroad Commissioner and also from the Railroad Inspector of the Mich- igan Public Utility Commission. The final decision was to purchase the type of signal including the stop sign on a gravity basis. In other words, now if the electricity should fail and if the separate emergency battery at each crossing should not replace the electricity, the stop signs will swing into a right angle Position at each crossing plainly seen by the vehicular traffic and by pedestrians. These gravity stop signs cannot be removed until at least the electricity is again in effect. Other conditions demanded and en. forced by the Railroad Commission were: 1.—That on each separate signal two back flashing lights be installed. This provides a flashing light ser- vice, in four globes, on each of the signal towers located on both sides of the railroad tracks. 2.—On certain of the railroad crossings, where pedestrian traffic was known to be heavy, the Rail- road Commission also required that a small bell be installed as a warn- ing to persons walking across the tracks. Prior to Friday, January 31, 1936, all of the required modern signals were installed and all of the same were finally approved by Mr. H. A. Franklin on January 31, 1936. The general provisions of all these signals include: 1.—Erection of a large concrete base on both sides of each crossing near the right curb line, as traffic approaches. These bases are each lighted day and night by a small guarded electric globe about two inches above the street grade. 2—Large signs are visible on each signal designating "Railroad Cross- ing." 3.—A sign is also installed on each signal specifying the number of rail- Regular Session, February 3rd, 1936 17 road tracks that must be crossed between the two signals. 4.—Front and back flashing lights are on each signal, including four separate globes that alternate as lighted and blanked lights about 40 times per minute. One large stop sign is on each signal, with the word "Stop" outlined by red reflector but- tons. This stop sign is visible only in the direction as a person ap- proaches the railroad crossing when a train is approaching. An analysis of all signals was made today. Certain additional equipment has been installed. A complete outline of present signal equipment now includes: 1.—At Jones Street—Two complete signals at the Milwaukee Railroad tracks. The east signal includes two extra flashers both north and south. Two complete signals at the Illinois Central Railroad tracks. 2.—At First and Levy Streets— Three complete signalb, including one west of the Milwaukee Railroad; one west of the Illinois Central Rail- road and one east of the Illinois Central Railroad. The signal west of the Illinois Central Railroad has two extra flashers facing north. 3.—At Iowa Street—Two complete signals, one north of the Milwaukee Railroad, without back flashers, and one signal south of the same. The signal south has also two extra flash- ers. 4.—At Second Street—Two com- plete signals. 5.—At Third Street—One complete signal west of the tracks with two extra flashers facing north toward Central Avenue, and one complete signal east of the tracks including an extra two light flasher facing south for traffic coming from the Burlington Station. 6.—At Fourth Street—One com- plete signal west of the tracks in- cluding an extra two light flasher facing north for White Street traffic; and one complete signal east of the tracks including an extra two light flasher facing south for traffic from the Adams Co., etc. 7.—At Seventh Street—One com- plete signal west of the Milwaukee Railroad tracks; and one complete signal east of the same tracks in- cluding an extra two light flasher facing south for traffic from Wall Street. At 7th Sheet, both east and west of the Great Western Railroad tracks there are also located two complete signals. 8.—At Eighth Street—One com- plete signal at both 'the east and west sides of the combined tracks. 9.—At Eleventh Street—Two com- plete signals at the Great Western Railroad tracks. Two complete sig- nals at the Milwaukee Railroad tracks. 10.—At Twelfth Street—Two con plete signals at each side of the combined tracks. 11.—At Thirteenth Street—One complete signal west of the tracks. One complete signal east of the tracks including on the north side of the same a "Slow" sign for traf- fic going south on Pine Street. 12.—At Fourteenth Street—One complete signal west of the tracks; one complete signal east of the tracks including also a "Slow" sign on the north side. 13.—At Fifteenth Street — One complete signal west of the tracks; one complete signal east of the tracks including also a "Slow" sign on the north side. 14.—At Sixteenth Street — Two complete signals. 15.—At Seventeenth Street—Two complete signals. 16.—At Nineteenth Street — A change was authorized by the City Council after the passage of Resolu- tion 64-35. It was first planned to close 19th Street. However, after consideration by the Council, the authority was granted that at least flashing signals should be installed at 19th Street. Now on the west side of the 19th Street crossing there is a special flashing signal with two lights, but without the gravity stop sign. This signal does have a fixed sign "Stop on Red Signal". On the east side of the 19th Street cross- ing there is also operating a similar signal as on the west side of the crossing with an additional set of two flashing lights facing north. 17.—At Garfield Ave.—Two com- plete signals. 18.—At Rhomberg Ave.—Two com- plete signals. 19.—At Lincoln Ave.—Two com- plete signals. 20.—At Kniest Street—South of the railroad crossing there, is a com- plete signal; north of the crossing there was no signal originally plan- ned because of the 22nd Street west signal being at the same location. There was, howeveT, installed an- other flashing two light signal just north of the Kniest Street crossing without a "Stop" sign. 21.—At 22nd Street—Two complete signals. 22.—At 24th Street—West of the crossing there is a complete signal; east of the crossing and on the north side of 24th Street there is a com- plete signal equipped with extra equipment including another two light flasher facing south toward Prince Street and including an ex. 18 Regular Session, February 3rd, 1936 tra slow sign facing north toward Elm Street. Method of Control of Signals The following methods of control of all the signals include: (a) Jones Street signals, manual control at Jones Street. (b) 1st, Levy, Iowa, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Street signals, manual control at a tower east of the railroads be- tween 2nd and 3rd Streets. (c) 7th and 8th Street signals, manual control at a tower east of the railroads, south of 8th Street. (d) 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th Street signals, man- ual control at a tower west of the tracks south of 15th Street. (c) 19th, Garfield, Rhomberg, Lin- coln, Kniest, 22nd and 24th Streets are all automatically controlled by electric contacts on the rails that cause the lights to flash at least 20 seconds prior to a train approach. New Considerations Mr. Franklin and other officials from the four railroad companies that have just completed these new signals, have orally requested that the Dubuque City Council consider and include in an ordinance pro, vision the following requirements: Parking—No parking of cars or trucks shall be made within at least 25 feet from each signal. Stopping—Require that all pedes- trians and traffic shall stop and not cross the tracks when the lights are flashing. Certain violations have oc. curred recently. By the traffic ordi- nance revision, as of June 27, 1935, Rule 54, etc. on the printed page 15, we may cover this provision for ar- rests by local police officers. Thus far only warnings have been made by local police. Attached is a copy of a 1930 Wat- erloo ordinance that was left with me by Mr. Franklin and is requested to be considered. Credit is certainly due to the four local Railroad Companies for the fin- al completion of these signals. De. lays were caused in deterwining the tSPe of signals, ordering the same, securing the same, installing, and, in certain cases, replacing new equiPment after coil si(!oration uy Mr. Franklin. It is suggested that all possible provisions be now made for proper protection of traffic at these cross. ings. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: It is my duty to sub- mit to you my opinion as to the tenure of office of Councilman Wil- liam Roberts who was appointed in April, 1935, by the Council to fill the vacancy created by the death of Ardenal Thompson. In order to have an intelligent understanding of the conditions existing at the time this appointment was made, it is neces- sary to know something of the facts which preceded the appointment. Ardenal Thompson was regularly elected as a member of the Council at the regular election in 1932. His term extended to April, 1935. As his term would expire in a year wherein no election was held, it was necessary for him to become a can- didate for re-election at the regular election held in 1934, for the term commencing inApril, 1935, and end. ing April, 1938. He as such a can- didate was reelected. His death oc- cured in 1934 before the expiration of his first term, and of course, be- fore his second term has begun. Na- turally upon his death a vacancy was created and the Council filled such Regular Sessi,,a, t clrruary .feel, 1936_---- 21 vacancy by the appointment of Wil- liam Roberts. This appointment of Mr. Roberts in 1934 was to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Thompson, and it applied only to the term which was to expire in April, 1935. Mr. Roberts duly qualified for that un- expired term. In 1935, when the term to which Mr. Thompson had been elected be- gan, he being dead, could not qualify for that term and, consequently an- other vacancy occurred. The Coun- cil thereupon appointed Mr. Roberts to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Thompson. Mr. Roberts again quali- fied under this appointment. The question for determination is whether this appointment of Mr. Roberts extends to the end of the term to which Mr. Thompson had been elected in 1934 and in which a vacancy occurred through his fail- ure to qualify, or extends only to the next regular election to be held in March, 1936. A determination of this question depends upon the con- stitutional and statutory provisions relating to the filling of vacancies. Subdivision VI of Article XI of the Constitution provides: "In all cases of elections to fill vacancies in office occurring before the expiration of a full term, the person so elected shall hold for the residue of the unexpired term; and all persons appointed to fill vacan- cies, shall hold until the next general election, and until their successors are elected and qualified." The pertinent provision of this sub- division is the last part thereof, the first part having to do with a case where a person has been elected to fill a vacancy which is not the pres- ent condition. The second part re- fers to the filling of vacancies by appointment and states that such appointee "hold until the next gen- eral election." Immediately there arises the ques- tion as to whether or not this con- stitutional provision refers only to appointments in offices where the officers are elected at a GENERAL election, as distinguished from a CITY election. Our statute defines what is meant by the term "GENERAL ELEC- TION" Sec. 720 of the Code, 1935, reads as follows: "'Che term 'GENERAL ELEC- TION' means any election held for the choice of national, state, judi- cial, district, county or township officers." "The term 'CITY ELECTION' means any municipal election held in a city or town." It is plain from the language of th•e above section that a distinction is recognized between a "GENERAL ELECTION" and a "CITY ELEC- TION." The one does not embrace the other. If this distinction is to be applied then it follows that the constitutional provision above refer- red to has no application to the fill- ing of vacancies in municipal offices or to the duration of the tETm of appointees to fill vacancies in such offices. rather, It is limited to such offices as are filled at general elec- tions as defined by the statute. I am inclined to hold that the consti- tutional provision has no application to vacancies occuring in City offices. We must next look to any statu- tory provisions relating to the fill- ing of vacancies. Section 1146 of the Code defines when a vacancy occurs and reads as follows: "Every civil office shall be vacant upon the happening of either of the following events: 2—A failure of the incumbent or holdover officer to qualify within the time prescribed by law. 4—The resignation or death of the incumbent or of the officer elect before qualifying." That a vacancy, as thus defined, was created when Mr. Thompson (lied before qualifying, and having died, failed to qualify in 1935, there seems to be no doubt. Section 1152 of the Code relates to the manner in which vacancies are filled in national, state, judicial, county and township offices, and is limited to such offices. Section 1155 relates to the tenure of vacancy appointees and it pro- vides: "An officer filling a vacancy in an office which is filled by election of the people shall continue to hold until the next regular election at which such vacancy can be filled, and until a successor is elected or qualified. Appointments to all oth- er offices, made undeT this chapter, shall continue for the remainder of the term of each office, and until a successor is appointed and qualified." But, up to this point, no reference is made to the filling of vacancies in City offices. Since Section 1155 follows Section 1152, above referred to, it is reasonable to believe that the tenure of vacancy appointees re, ferred to in Section 1155 relates back to such vacancies as are enum- erated in Section 1152, namely to all offices except city offices. If I am correct in this, then I must hold that section 1155 does not apply to the ease under consideration any more than the constitutional pro- vision applies. Section 1157 refers to vacancies occurring; in City offices but this re, Terence has to do with filling vacan- cies which occur ten days prior to a general election. It reads: 22 kegular Session, February 3rd, 1936 "If a vacancy occurs in an elec- tive office in a city—ten days prior to a general election, it shall be tilled at such election, unless pre- viously filled at a special election." Without entering upon an extend- ed discussion of this section, illy view is that this section refers to a state of facts which are not involved in this case being considered by us, and it has no application here. The foregoing are all of the gen- eral laws which apply to vacancies, the filling of vacancies and the ten- ure of vacancy appointees. We now turn to the statutory provisions re- lating to the subject in the various forms of municipal government rec- ognized by the statutes of Iowa. FIRST, as to vacancies occurring in elective offices in cities organized under the general law. The only reference to the filling of vacancies occurring in offices not filled by election of the Council is that found in Section 5663 of the Code, which provides: "CITY AND TOWN COUNCILS SHALL: 8. Elect by ballot persons to fill vacancies in offices not filled by elec- tion by the Council, and a person receiving a majority of the votes of the whole number of members shall be declared elected to fill the vacancy." No doubt this has reference to a vacancy occurring through any of the prescribed statutory causes. Due to the fact that all officers are elect- ed biannually in such cities, the tenure of the vacancy appointed would be only to the next regular election. SECOND, as to vacancies occurred In Special Charter Cities the statutes provide: SECTION 6692. Vacancies occur- ring in the office of alderman shall be filled by special election, unless such vacancy shall have occurred less than 60 days prior to a regular city election." SECTION 6698. In the event that such vacancy shall have occurred less than 60 days prior to a regular city election, then the vacancy so existing shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining aldermen of the City Council." In such cities the terms of elec• tive officers are two years and since elections are held biannually, natur- ally the tenure of the elected or ap- pointed officer would be only to the next regular election. THIRD, as to vacancies occurring in cities operating under the Com- mission Plan, the statute provides: SECTION 6490. If any vacancy occurs in any such office the re- maining members of the Council shall appoint a person to fill such vacancy during the balance of the unexpired term." In such cities the tenure of office is two years and, of course, the ten- ure of a vacancy appointee is for the remainder of the term to which he has been appointed and expires with the succeeding election. FOURTH, as to vacancies occur- ring in cities operating under the City Manager Plan,, the statute pro- vides: SECTION 6632. Any vacancy in the council, caused by death, resig- nation, removal from office, or re- moval from the city, shall be filled by appointment by the council. The person so appointed by the Council shall hold his office for the unex- pired term of his predecessor." It is logical to assume that when this statute was enacted by the Leg- islature it had in mind that the terms of councilmen being three years, these terms would expire sometime in a year when no regular election was to be held. This sta- tute by express terms defines when a vacancy occurs. It declares that a vacancy occurs when "caused by death, resignation, removal from office, or removal from the City." It also defines who shall fill the vacancy and states that it shall be filled "by appointment by the Coun- cil." Finally it defines the tenure, of the person thus appointed and states that "he shall hold his office for the unexpired term of his prede- cessor." There is no other provi- sion for filling a vacancy. In the absence of any statutory provision to the contrary, the gen- eral rule seems to be, that where a re-elected incumbent dies before en- tering upon the new term, his death creates a vacancy in the term which he was then serving, but not in the term upon which he has not yet entered. This rule was announced in Iowa in the only case decided by our Supreme Court where the facts were similar to the condition exist - Ing in our case. However that de- cision was based on a construction of Section 1146 of the Code as it existed at that time. Section 1146 provided that a vacancy Existed up- on the "resignation or death of the incumbent," and the rule above an- nounced was adhered to. Since that decision was rendered, however, the Legislature amended Section 1146 fn the 42 G. A. so that such sec- tion now provides that a vacancy arises upon "the death or resigna- tion of the incumbent or of the offi- cer elect before qualifying." The law, therefore, now is that a va- cancy occurs in the term which the incumbent was serving, should he die,, and also in the term to which he had been elected should he die ki lar Session, February 3rd, 1936 __23 before qualifying for that term. In view of the existing statute, the rule announced in the case referred to would not apply. Keeping in mind the provisions of Section 1146, we turn to an examin- ation of Section 6623, applicable to vacancies occurring in Manager Cit- ies. "Any vacancy in the Council, caused by death—shall be filled by appointment by the Council. The person so appointed by the Coun- cil shall hold his office for the un- expired term of his predecessor." It is the death which causes the va- cancy. Section 1146 provides that when the death of an officer elect occurs before he qualifies for the new term, a vacancy is created in the new term. Conceding that a legal vacancy was created in the term of Mr. Thompson by his death occurring before he qualified for that term, the power to fill that vacancy must exist somewhere. Section 6623 says it is lodged in the council. Since the council has the power to fill the vacancy, the term of the vacancy appointee is defined to be "for the unexpired term of his prede- cessor." A vacancy presupposes a prede- cessor and an unexpired term. As a legal vacancy is created by Section 1146 in a case where an officer -elect dies before he qualifies, such an officer -elect, for all legal purposes, must be considered the predecessor of the vacancy appointee. And by the same logic, if a vacancy exists there must be an unexpired term. If it were the intention of the Legislature to limit the term of a vacancy appointee to a lesser period than the whole of the unexpired term, it is fair to assume it would have said so. This seems to me to be partic- ularly true in view of the fact that all terms of councilmen are three years and sometimes terminate in an odd year in which no election is held. Failure to limit the term of a vacancy appointee to a shorter period than the whole of the un- expired term seems evidence enough that the statute was intended to wean just what it says. After a careful study and review of all pertinent statutes on this sub- ject, I am forced to the conclusion that the vacancy appointment of Councilman Roberts is for the whole of the term to which Mr. Thompson was elected and ends in April, 1931. I assure you that my opinion was arrived at only after a diligent, fair and full consideration of every conceivable angle involved in the question. I may be in error. How- ever, my opinion is based upon the facts and the law as I understand them. Respectfully submitted, M. H. C%IZEK, City Solicitor.

For the past several years, the Recreation Commission has been us- ing the lots mentioned in the peti- tion. At the time it was this depart- ment's understanding that all the property was awned by H.

Gentlemen: I beg to report my recommendation on claims wherein damages are asked for personal in- juries sustained upon alleged defec- tive sidewalks, which have been re- ferred to me and also on one case which is pending in the District Court of Dubuque County, Iowa. In the case of Esther Diener vs. City of Dubuque, being Law No. 275149, I recommend settlement in the sum of $200.00, the City to pay the costs. Suit was brought in this action for damages amounting to $1500.00. The injuries were sustained January 31, 1935, at the corner of Maple and 17th Streets and were due to an icy condition existing at that place. The extent of the injur- ies consisted of a dislocation of the right shoulder and right arm and other bruises upon the body of the plaintiff. If my recommendation is approved, have a warrant drawn for $200.00 in favor of Walter Koerner, Attorney for Plaintiff. In the Claim of Mrs. Helen John- son, I recommend the payment of $55.00 in full of all damages sus- tained by her on January 25, 1936, on account of personal injuries con. sisting of a broken wrist due to an alleged defective sidewalk, and that a warrant be drawn in her favor for that amount. In the claim of Mrs. Catherine Lut- gen, who sustained injuries consist- ing of severe laceration of the knee and leg on February 2, 1936, by rea- son of a fall upon an alleged defec- tive sidewalk, I recommend the pay merit of the sum of $55.00 and that a warrant be drawn in her favor for that amount. In the claim of Mrs. Margaret Finn for damages for personal in- juries sustained by her on January 16, 1936, consisting of a fracture of the right arm. I recommend that this claim be denied. In the claim of Mrs. Anna Utzig, by her husband, John Utzig, on ac. count of personal injuries sustained by her on December 6, 1935, by rea- son of a fall upon an alleged defec- tive sidewalk, I recommend that this claim be denied.

Gentlemen: The undersigned hereby certifies that the contract for the Furnishing of materials and erecting the new Fireproof Well House for the New Deep Well No. 6, located at Kimball Street and Rhomberg Avenue, amount- ing to the original bid of $2,320., as accepted, authorized and awarded by the City Council of Dubuque on August 26, 1935, to Mr. Edgar Kol- fenbach of Dubuque, Iowa, has been completed. In accordance with the provisions of said contract, a few slight changes were made in the construc- tion of this building, including the selection of brick and a change in the grille, making a deduction, or credit, to the City of $44.05, and in- cluding additional materials based on extra concrete pump base costing $7.00 more, extra concrete on engine base and foundation costing $25.00 more, a new concrete beam costing $2.50 more, two cast iron thresholds costing $7.60 more and an extra amount of cement in the floor slab costing $4.20 more, or a total in- crease of $46.30,, making a net in- crease of $2.25. Accordingly, the final total contract payment would be $2,320.00, plus $2.25, or a total of $2,322.25. In accordance with the provisions of the contract, the amounts already paid to Mr. Edgar Kolfenbach total $2,000.00. There is still due $322.25. I further certify that this work has been done in accordance with the plans and specifications and stipu- lations of the contract and that the minor changes, as deduct- ed, and included, were in accordance with the provisions of the specifica- tions. I therefore recommend the acceptance of this contract by the Council. I further recommend the authority to pay the final amount due on said net contract totaling $322.25. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Roberts moved that the recommendation of City Manager Evans be approved and that a war- rant in the amount of $322.25 be ordered drawn in favor of Mr. Edgar Kolfenbach, contractor, said amount remaining unpaid on his contract.

Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None. March 20th, 1936. Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On February 24tb, 1936, a written petition was referred by the City Council to the Manager for a study and report regarding the request of Mr. Frank Miller, etc., for better protection to St. Joseph Street at the lowest elevation, which is about half way from South Algona Street and Fremont Avenue, or at Stetmore Street. This St. Joseph Street was stoned and improved about two years ago and can now be used for traffic even in thawing weather. We are plan- ning to more fully protect the pres- ent culvert crossing at St. Joseph Street at Stetmore Street by install- ing heavier plank and by installing posts and wire on the west side of the ditch north of St. Joseph Street to protect Stetmore Street traffic. The petition requested also the Installation of a new electric are light at St. Joseph and Stetmore Streets, due to the danger on both Stetmore and Concord Streets. The writer checked this condition last night and the absence of a light at this intersection is bad due to con. siderable present traffic. Present street lights on St. Joseph Street include locations at Fremont Ave- nue, at the alley about 400' west of Fremont Avenue and at South Al- gona Street. The intersection on St. Joseph Street, where S t e t m o r e Street extends north and Concord 68 Special Session, March 20th, 1936 , Street to the south, is approximate- ly 500' from the present street light at the alley to the east and is ap. proximately 600' from the South Al- gona Street light toward the west. My recommendation, in regard to a new street light, is that authority he granted for the installation of one new 250 C. P. overhead light to be Installed on the present last pole near Stetmore Street. This new yearly cost of this type of light is $35.00. This new light will protect the present crossing and will also provide illumination for a few fam- ilies living on Stetmore and Concord Streets at the lowest elevation of this section. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, Oity Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays—None, Resoution No. 22-36.

Councilman Schiltz moved the adoption of the resolution. Second- ed by Councilman Jaeger. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Schiltz. Nays—None. To the Honorable Mayor and Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: In February, I sub- mitted my opinion to the council relative to the tenure of the va- cancy appointment of W. S. Roberts. The substance of that opinion was that such apopintment was for the whole of the unexpired term of An denal Thompson, deceased, and did not expire until April, 1933. How- ever, Mr. Roberts elected not to abide by that opinion and chose to resign from the Council in order to create a vacancy in such unexpired term. At the regular election held on March 30th, 1936, there were two candidates for this unexpired term— W. S. Roberts and Arthur M. Ben- nett. A majority of the votes cast at such election was for Arthur M. Bennett. As I pointed out in my opinion, Section 6632 of the Code of Iowa 1935, prescribes the only method for filling a vacancy upon the Council. That method is by appointment by the Council. There is no provision for an election. The statutes of this state pre- scribe the number of affirmative votes of the members of the Coun- cil required for the passage and adoption of legislative proceedings. In some cases, an unanimous vote is necessary. In others, 'a majority, two-thirds or three-fourths vote is prescribed. You will understand, therefore, that it is most important that all members of the Council oc- cupy their seats in a legal manner so that there can never arise a ques- tion about the legality of any pro- ceedings taken by the Council due to the qualifications of any member of the Council voting upon such measures. Being convinced that my opinion regarding the tenure of the vacancy appointment of Mr. Roberts was right, I recommend that the Council adopt the following proceedings re- garding the election of Arthur M. Bennett: 1. That 'a resolution be adopted declaring Arthur M. Bennett duly elected to the office of councilman, to serve the unexpired term of Ar- denal Thompson, deceased. 2. That Arthur M. Bennett qual- ify as such elected officer. 3. That a second resolution be adopted by the Council providing for the appointment of Arthur M. Bennett to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Thompson. Mr. Bennett will not vote upon this resolution. 4. That Arthur M. Bennett qualify as such appointed officer. If these proceedings be taken, it will become apparent at once that all questions regarding the qualifica- tions of Arthur M. Bennett, as a councilman, will be obviated. Resolutions providing for the aforementioned election and ap- pointment of Mr. Bennett have been Prepared by me and I recommend their passage and adoption. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Jaeger moved that the communication of City Solicitor Czizek be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Schiltz. Nays—None. Resolution No. 30-36. Whereas, at the regular municipal election held on March 30, 1936, Ar- thur M. Bennett secured a majority of the votes cast for the office of councilman for the unexpired term of Ardenal Thompson, deceased. Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque that said Arthur M. Bennett be and he is hereby declared elected to the office of Councilman to fill the unexpired term of Ardenal Thompson, de- ceased, and upon his qualifying as such elected official, will be entitled to a seat upon this Co4ncil.

P. all-night boule- vard light on Grandview Avenue, near the Dunning Street intersection, is north of the intersection and trees on Dunning Street interfere some- what with lighting service to Brad- ley Street. Accordingly, due to the present families living on the west side of Bradley Street, north of Dunning Street, and also families on the east side of Bradley Street, south of Dun- ning Street, and another family liv- ing on Dunning Street, near Bradley Street, the City Council determined and authorized the installation of an overhead all-night 250 C. P. lamp at the yearly rate of $35.00. A pres- ent pole at the northeast intersec- tion of Bradley and Dunning Streets can be used for supporting a light bracket for this light.

Gentlemen: The City Council con- sidered on April 4th two separate Petitions, as filed February 28th and March 2nd, 1936, requesting a new, local bus service on the entire length of Kaufmann Avenue. It was realized that Kaufmann Avenue is lightly populated: that busses would have to leave the city and pass over a mile or so of coun- ty, secondary and non -paved roads, according to the petitions. A letter was received from Mr. Chas. Dove of the Interstate Power Company advising that bus service on Kauf- mann Avenue now could not pos- sibly be self-supporting. Accordingly, it was the decision of the City Council on April 4th, 1936, that at present no possible bus ser- vice on Kaufmann Avenue from Cen. tral Avenue to the end, at the west city line, could be provided. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed. Seconded by Councilman Bennett.

Gentlemen: On February 24th, 1936, a petition was received by the City Council from the Cosley Bot- tling Company of Dubuque, Iowa, re- questing that again during 1936 the Cosley Bottling Company be given the exclusive right to operate and sell at the City Ball Park soda wa- ter, popcorn, ice cream, gum, cigars, candy, etc., during any -and all games or exhibitions held at this site. The fee that the City of Dubuque shall receive is to be 10% of all gross revenue collected from such sales. Another portion of this same peti- tion -included the request for the Cosley Bottling Company to have exclusive right to sell the same pro- ducts, as above mentioned, on the parking space, including city owned land west of the ball park. The decision on this question was determined by the City Council at all informal meeting held Saturday, April 4th, 1936, as follows: (1) That for the year 1936 the Cosley Bottling Company was auth- orized to sell soda water, cigars, candy, etc., at the Ball Park, as in the past two years. (2) That the Cosley Bottling Com- pany is required to secure from the local Coca-Cola firm, available coca - cola and that coca -cola is to be pre- sented and sold. Mr. Ray Cosley was interviewed April 4th on this coca -cola question by Councilman F. M. Jaeger and Mr. Cosley agreed to secure coca -cola and sell the same at any and all times that his other products were sold. The 10% of gross revenue re- ceived from all products sold was also agreed upon, both by the City Council and Mr. Ray Cosley, as the fee to the City.

Con- sideration was also given to the request from the Bus Drivers, filed January 13th, 1936, for the installa- tion of a new, 4,angled traffic signal to be located at 22nd Street and Central Avenue. It was determined by the Council on April 4th, since the cost of even one additional traffic signal, as to initial purchase, installation, elec. tricity cost and maintenance for one Year, would cost approximately $500.00, that it was not possible at present to authorize the purchase and operation of a new signal at this location. Accordingly, the petition filed was, at least temporarily, denied. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed.

Investigation on April 4th deter- mined that at present there are two large, 600 C. P. lights on Curtis Street at both the State and South Hill Street intersections. These pres- ent sheet lights are approximately 525 feet apart, No additional inter. mediate light can be provided in this short distance as determined by the City Council April 4th, 1936.

Gentlemen: At the informal meet- ing of the City Council April 4th, 1936, after viewing the site, the Council approved and authorized the request submitted by Mr. Emil H. Rausch of Wartburg Seminary on December 2nd, 1935, to have the present 600 C. P. overhead street light, now located on Wartburg Place near the southern edge of the Wartburg Seminary, changed as to location. The request was that the present light be moved two poles north on Wartburg Place. It was determined by the Council that this change in location would be advantageous to this Seminary and would not inter- fere with traffic conditions on Wart- burg Place as no curves, or inter- sections now exist between the next light to the north, at Fremont Ave- nue and the light south of the light to be moved, near Lull Street. Accordingly, the Council author- ized the City Manager to instruct the Interstate Power Company to move the present light two poles north. The cost of moving is to be paid by the Power Company, as per the City light agreement. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

The condition of presenting these sealed bids is that all bids must be filed by May 4th, 1936. Each bidder shall agree to pay for the cost of the electric lighting and provide at least two police officers at each wrestling match. The bidder shall state his offer in dollars for the use of the Ball Park for each evening. He shall state the minimum num.ber of evenings to be used for wrestling in 1936. He shall state the Particular night, per week, of his entire schedule. A bond, or cash de- posit, equal to 100% of the entire 1936 night rental use of the Ball Park, shall so be required. The final award for the service of using the Ball Park in 1936 for wrestling shall be made by the City Council. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: The City Council viewed the site of a requested new street light on April 4th, viz. at Mont Crest and Woodward Streets. This request was from a number of residents in this section as filed October 7th, 1935. No present street light is located on Mont Crest Street. It was deter- mined that a street light would be of advantage at the requested site, also that this proposed light would be of service to traffic and pedes- trians on Mont Crest Street west of Woodward Street, where a steep slope extends to Abbott Street. At Abbott and Mont Crest intersection there is no present light. The authorization by the Council was that one new 250 C. P. over- head all-night street light be in- stalled at Mont Crest and Wood- ward Streets at the yearly cost of $35.00. The Light can be installed from a bracket to be attached to a present pole on the southwest cor- ner of this intersection. Respectfully submitted. R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: This is to advise that at an informal meeting April 4th, 1936, in connection with the petition filed September 25th, 1935, request- ing the purchase of the Nick Welbes field for a playground site, the City Council determined as follows: That this location -was outside the city limits; that a special election would be necessary to have bonds approved to purchase said site; that during the last two years an agree- ment had been made with Mr. Welbes for the rental of the portion of his land used for baseball, skat- ing, etc. The past rental basis was $100.00 per year. For the next 12 months the City Council agreed to rent this portion of the Welbes tract for $100.00.

A petition was pre- sented to the Council on March 31, 1936, signed by twelve ladies in re- gard to this same matter. This was referred to the Council on March 31st. At an informal Counoil meeting held Saturday, April 4th, 1936, the City Council determined that 30% of the total paving costs of the 1934 Roosevelt Street improvement was furnished by the Federal Govern- ment through the P. W. A. Admin- istration; also that in many cases the City of Dubuque had provided original and even revised reductions prior to now. The total costs actual- ly assessed to all property owners on this project is now approximate- ly 50% of the original costs paid to the contractor. $23,436.96 was paid to the contractor and now only $11,824.92 is assessed to all owners. On April 4th the writer was in- structed by the City Council to make a definite examination and state- ment. Accordingly, please find a list of all names on the petition as filed March 31st, 1936. Included are the number of tracts assessed to each lady. The next column represents 100% of the original paving cost to each tract. Following columns show the 30% grant paid by the P. W. A. and reductions, made already by the City of Dubuque. The present net total cost assessed to each property is itemized. Last, the percentage of each actual assessment, as to the original cost, is calculated. As you will note, ten of these sep- arate tracts included no reduction made by the City. To the individual property owners the total reductions all ranged from 30%, including the P. M'. A. grant, to the maximum of 63.61%. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

The activities of these bodies, therefore, were entirely occupied with surveys of various City owned properties which might prove suit- able for the erection of a Swimming Pool. (3) The City Planning and Zoning Commission has, under the statutes, no authority to select sites for any Special Session, A kind of public projects. It has only the authority to approve sites. The City Planning and Zoning Commis- sion, therefore, assumed from the beginning that the selection of sites would of necessity have to be made by the City Council, the Park Com- mission, or the Recreation Commis- sion. This policy was pursued up to the time that approval was sought and given for various projects. (4) One of the outstanding sur- veys made by John Nolen in prepar- ing the City Plan consisted of an analysis of lands suitable for indus- trial purposes which would be re- quired during the future growth of this City. This industrial survey in- dicated most forcibly the scarcity of tracts of sufficient extent to accom- modate factories of large size. The largest tract available was the un- occupied western section of what is known as "Rafferty Slough Fill." An- other site, only partly available, then only at the cost of considerable filling, was Ham's Island. Feeling that it was its duty to conserve such industrial sites with- in the city limits, the Planning and Zoning Commission proceeded to zone both these large areas as Hea- vy Industrial Districts. The wisdom of this action has never been ques- tioned, and it is to perpetuate this established policy, that the Commis- sion persistently wishes to avoid en- croachment of projects which may properly be located elsewhere. The City Council, the Dubuque Shippers' Association, the Upper Mississippi River Waterways Assoc- iation, and the Chamber of Com- merce have been working assiduous- ly for many years in an endeavor to insure the future industrial growth of the City of Dubuque by improving the transportation facil- ities in this section with special ref- erence to carrying products of both farm and factory to distant markets at the lower rates which prevail on boats and barges. The end of the labors of these committees is now in sight; the nine -foot channel is assured. The City Planning and Zoning Commission has felt that it must co- operate to the limit with all the agencies mentioned in order that Dubuque may be prepared to meet the industrial situation which should. and we hope, will develop. band must be available when factories send representatives to Dubuque to inspect sites. With this historical background let us now proceed to state exactly what part the City Planning and Zoning Commission has played in the selection and approval of the Swimming Pool site. 1i 13th, 1936 .9 i (1) The City Council, without consulting the City Planning and Zoning Commission, approved selec- tion of a site for the Pool south of Railroad Avenue on what is known as the Rafferty Slough project. The Gity Planning and Zoning Commission withheld its approval of this project for the reasons stated above, namely, that it would be an invasion of the district which had been zoned for heavy industrial uses. The City Planning and Zoning Com- mission suggested that other sites be offered for -its approval. (2) The approval of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was then sought for the site known as Grandview Park, and the appro- val was immediately forthcoming. The cost of a pool in this site was higher than usual, and the Govern- ment denied the application for an appropriation of close to $100,000.00. (3) Other sites were then sought throughout the City, all of the sites on lands owned by the City of Du- buque comprising chiefly school and park properties. No effort, as far as we can remember, was made to per- suade individuals to purchase land in what are now described as "more suitable or more central locations" and to deed it to the City for Swim- ming Pool purposes. No proposals resulting from these investigations were ever presented to the City Planning and Zoning Commission. (4) Finally a proposal was again made to the City Planning and Zon- ing Commission concerning a new site at Rafferty Slough, namely, north of Railroad Avenue, it being stated that the site which had orig- inally been approved by the City Council and Recreation Commission was not large enough for the pro- posed Pool (the first site, south of Railroad Avenue). A study of the site north of Rail- road Avenue was then made by the City Planning and Zoning Commis- sion and approval withheld because a pool here might seriously curtail the future industrial growth of this City. Investigation also disclosed the fact that this Rafferty Slough prop- erty was originally filled by order of the City Council to create in the City of Dubuque new property for industrial development. The Raffer- ty Slough Fill was the direct out- come of the need for industrial sites. The Council then proceeded to covenant in the bonds which pro- vided the funds with which to fill Rafferty Slough that this was an industrial site project. That being the case, it seems very clear that if the site were chosen by the Re- Special Session, April lith, 1936 94 and the Coun- It .is suggested by the City Plan. creation Commission by the City Plan- ning and Zoning Commission that cil, and approved Zoning Commission, an in- this site offers the people of the ning and junction would probably issue and be held up in the Courts City of Dubuque the only possible opportunity for a River Front Park. the matter for long period of time, the ulti- The fact is also stressed that Du a decision probably being buque is the only city of any import - mate location of the Pool on ante along the river that does not against the that had been acquired for in- have a river front park, and that to a site dustrial uses only.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen:— Petition of George Rettenmaier The matter of this petition which Ncas referred back to the Planning and Zoning Commission by your ac- tion of April 4, 1936, for further con- sideration, was discussed at length at the recent monthly meeting of the Planning and 'Zoning Commis- sion and the unanimous action of our body was again to recommend to City Council the disallowance of said petition. The reasons, as pre- viously set out in our letter of July R, still holds. Furthermore, the Com- mission wishes to stress the lack of sound justification for the suggest- ed change from the standpoint of future planning and zoning prin- ciples. An encroachment here will justify other encroachments on the Plan, eventually resulting in a gen- eral breakdown. All efforts in this mi 95) attractive residential district should be toward fulfillment of the Master Plan, by the gradual elimination of all non-residential structures as time goes on, rather than away from the plan. Respectfully yours, R. V. McKay, secretary, Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Chalmers moved that the communication of the Planning and Zoning Commission be made a matter of record.

Gentlemen:— Petition of Parties Objecting to Closing of Twelfth Street This petition which was referred to the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion by your action of April 4, 1936, was given consideration at the April 7th meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. This project or- iginated with the School Board which body presented it to the Plan- ning and 'Zoning Commission on Jan- uary 3rd, at which time it was ap- proved principally from the stand- point of safety of school children. It was our understanding that the School Board would later present the matter to the City Council with a request for consideration and ap- proval of your body. This we under- stand was not done. In view of the present status of this matter, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to withdraw its approval of the project as well as its previous recommendations to the City Council in which favorable ac- tion on your part was suggested.

Gentlemen: The question of the continued daytime free use of the Ball Park to the Municipal Base- ball League for the 1936 season was referred to the writer by the Council April 30th. Mr. Paul Nau- man was contacted May 1st in re- gard to a possible percentage charge that was to be returned to the city to offset the seasonable maintenance costs of operating this Ball Park. This morning Mr. Wm. Fitzpatrick came to my office and advised that the slight fees collected in the past were not sufficient in amount to pay the entire costs of the Dubuque Municipal League. He also advised that no percentage of fees could be offered to the city during 1936. In case a decision by the Council is determined that even 5% to 10% of gross revenue collected is to be giv- en to the city, Mr. Fitzpatrick ad- vised that the League will have to cease operation in 1936. The manager of this Dubuque Mu- nicipal League is to be present at the Council meeting this evening to further advise you of their neces- sities and inability to offer the city any revenue. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Mr. Edward Kolfenbach address- ed the Council stating that the charges made for admission to the ball games do not even cover their expenses and that if a rental charge was to be made that the Municipal Baseball League would have to dis- band. Councilman Bennett moved that the prayer of the Dubuque Munici- pal Baseball League be granted and that the balance of salary for the caretaker of the Athletic Field be 110 Regular Session, May 4th, 1936 taken from the Recreation Fund.

He was a good citizen and a Christian gentleman. As a public official he was court- eous, honest and conscientious in the performance of his duty. The position he occupied with the City of Dubuque was one of great im- portance and trust and he fulfilled his responsibilities in a commend- able and capable manner. The City of Dubuque owes to Fred Gantert a debt of gratitude and this Council, as the governing body thereof, wish- es to repay this obligation by giving public expression of the appreciation and high regard in which he was held by all, both as 'a public official and a man.

Gentlemen: On May 1, 1936, the White -Phillips Corp, of Davenport, Iowa, was awarded a judgment against the City of Dubuque in the sum of $134,076.97 with interest and costs. This action was based upon two distinct causes. One cause was predicated upon defaulted Special Improvement bonds amounting to $40,200 and the other upon Warrants issued by the City during the fiscal year 1935, amounting to $93,876.97. The Special Improvement bonds upon which judgment was taken ma- tured on April 1, 1936, and payment was refused due to insufficient funds in the various Improvement Funds against which the bonds were is. sued. A shortage existed in these funds on April 1st because Special Assessments which had been levied upon benefitted property had not been paid. Under the law in such cases, there is imposed upon a City issuing such bonds, an obligation to collect special assessments and to apply the same to the payment of the bonds. When such assessments are not paid by the property own- ers and a shortage results in the funds, it is the policy of the law that the loss must fail upon the city and not upon the holder of the bonds. The payment of Special As- sessments, when not made voluntar- ily, can be enforced only in one way, that is by tax sale. Tax sales have been held during the past sev- eral years, but they have not re- sulted in the payment of these tax- es. There were no purchasers at these sales and the City had no money available with which to be- come a purchaser itself. Consequent- ly a shortage resulted fn the funds and the judgment was authorized. As to warrants. The law author- izes the City to issue its warrants based upon anticipated receipts from General and Special Tax levies. When taxes are not paid, as has been the case during the past several years, the City may issue its war- rants and mark them "Not Paid for Want of Funds" when they are pre- sented for payment. These warrants constitute an obligation of the City. The warrants which were issued during the fiscal year 1935 are of that character and were drawn against proper funds under legal authority. The White -Phillips Corp. owned $93,876.97 of these warrants and they were reduced to judgment in this action. The judgment referred to should be funded without delay. Bonds should be issued having such matur- ity and bearing such a rate of in- terest as will make it possible to retire them without serious incon- venience. When the bonds are is- sued, they can be exchanged for the judgment and the judgment will, thereupon, be satisfied and dis- charged. I would suggest that the Manager be directed to open nego- tiations with the White -Phillips Corp. at once and ascertain upon what basis it would be willing to accept bonds in exchange for the judgment. If a satisfactory arrange- ment cannot be made with this com- pany, then the Council has the right to advertise the bonds and sell them to the highest bidder. As the judg- ment bears 5%r interest from the date of entry, to -wit, May 1, 1936, YOU will see the importance of tak- ing prompt action. Permit me to make a few - recommendations. 1—The fact that the Special Im- provement Bonds were reduced to Judgment does not mean that the lien of the Assessments are re- moved. It appears that in November, r Session, May 4th, 1936, 113 1935, when a check was made, there existed approximately $50,000 of de- linquent Special Assessments. Had these assessments been paid, the bonds could have been paid. During this year an intense effort should be made to impress upon property owners the necessity for the pay- ment of their assessments. I believe a plan can be worked out whereby it will be mutually advantageous to the property owner and the City to clear-up these delinquent assess- ments as soon as possible. 2—When these assessments are paid it would be advisable whenever possible, to set aside such payments into a Sinking Fund that will be available for the payment of the judgment bonds, Principal and in- terest, as they mature. Of course, this will have to be done through a permanent transfer authorized by the State Comptroller. As such a Sinking Fund would accumulate, the need for a general tax levy would be obviated. 3—Very often assessments are re- duced by the City Council, and when that is done it is the custom to pay the amount of the reduction from the Consolidated Fund to the Im- provement Fund. However, the in- terest on the outstanding bonds has not been determined or protected in a similar manner. As a result, every time a reduction is made a loss of Interest occurs in the Improvement Bond Fund. This creates a heavier load upon such funds than they can bear. Therefore, whenever a reduc- tion is made in any assessment, the loss in interest should be deter- mined and protected by a transfer from the Consolidated Fund. 4—The call of Improvement Bonds is optional. The City has the right to call for payment any of these bonds whenever there is sufficient money in any fund with which to pay outstanding bonds. It should be the policy of the City to call bonds in every fund whenever that fund has a sufficient accumulation to pay bonds that mature in the succeeding April. If this be done, the interest on the bonds 'will stop and a sub- stantial saving will be accomplished. 5—When it becomes apparent that a delinquency in the payment of Special Assessments will exist in any year, an appropriation should be made from the Improvement Fund or Miscellaneous Revenue to Protect a corresponding delinquency in the Improvement Bond Fund. 6—Experience shows that where the interest upon Special Assess- ments is the same as the interest upon the bonds, that a shortage of interest results. The interest upon deferred installments of Assess- ments should be at least 1% more than the interest which is paid upon the bonds. It seems advisable, there- fore, whenever Improvement Bonds are issued that the rate of interest paid should be 1% less than the amount of the interest paid upon A ssessments. 7 ---As to that part of the judgment based upon "No Fund Warrants". As stated, these warrants had been is- sued because of delinquent regular and special taxes. Approximately $274,000 is delinquent at this time. It is very probable that much of this delinquency will be liquidated dur- ing the next 1.2 months. When paid, it becomes available for the payment of outstanding warrants. Since the judgment was placed upon such war- rants as were issued during the fis- cal year 1935, it seems to me to be proper that, as far as possible, the judgment bonds should be paid from these delinquent taxes. A sinking fund might be set up for this pur- pose into which such delinquent tax- es will be paid, and such fund will then become available for the retire- ment of the judgment bonds as they mature without a tax levy therefor. A permanent transfer for this pur- pose would have to be authorized by the State Comptroller and the funds should be so ear -marked that they would be available for that pur- pose only. Sinking funds, as such, are inactive funds, as defined by the statute and may be invested in le- gally authorized securities. When thus invested, the interest from such investments could be applied to the payment of the interest on the bonds. While these recommendations may appear technical, I think they are thoroughly practical and, if follow- ed, will solve some of our difficul- ties and will not make it necessary to levy any taxes for the payment of the judgment bonds.

Gentlemen: On May 4th the peti- tion from Mr. Frank Graver request- ing the right to construct a two -car garage on his lot on the west side of Stafford Avenue at the rear of his lot on the northwest corner of Stafford Avenue and Ries Street was submitted to the City Council and was referred to the City Manager for examination and report. This location was examined this morning; by the writer. According to Mr. Graver's letter. the present stone wall on the west side of Stafford Avenue at the alley at the rear and north of his house is a minimum height of 7' 6" above his yard level at this point. The wall is not on the edge of the property line. The property line is still at')- proximately 2' 9" west or farther from the curb than the west side of this wall. Mr. Graver's request is to use this stone wall for the east side wall of his garage. In other words. his garage would be a maximum of 2' 9" on the present city sidewalk space. There is no possibility of using; this 2' 9" at present by the City. Accordingly, if the Council desires to authorize the use of this 2' 9" of sidewalk space for the location of it garage, it is the writer's opinion that It should be granted temporarily and on the basis that if, in the future, the west sidewalk of Stafford Ave- nue is to be widened, the garage will be moved west on this lot and entirely taken off the City sidewalk space. Another provision that is suggest- ed would include the requirement Regular Adjourned Session, May 18th, 1936 121 that the drainage .of rain water from the roof of this garage should so be arranged that the water from rains and snows would not flow toward the sidewalk. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the request of Mr. Frank Graver be granted temporarily. Seconded by Councilman Kane.

Connell, Di- rector of Health, and the writer have been discussing recently the general Milk Inspection Plan. Originally, as the Milk Inspection Ordinance was adopted on October 7th, 1935, it was estimated that the rate of one cent per 100 -weight for all milk delivered in Dubuque would be sufficient to cover the operating costs. For a few months we had con- tributions from the Federal Market Administration equal to approxim- ately $50.00 per month. This contri- bution was eliminated in February, 1936. Attached is an estimate as pre- pared by the local Milk Inspector, Mr. V. F. Chapman. He states that at present the revenue for this fiscal Year will amount to approximately $1,300.00. The Budget for 1936-37 111 c l u d e s expenditures equal to $1,900.00. In order to provide over 3070 of the estimated non -available revenues, it is suggested that con- sideration by the City Council be given to this question. One suggestion included in a let- ter from Mr. Chapman, attached hereto, is on the basis of establish- ing a minimum yearly fee of $20.00 for all milk service. Another method of increasing rev- enue might be to increase the rate per 100 lbs, of milk from one cent to one and one-half cents. However, if the determination of the Council is that no increase in mill: charges is to be made at pres- ent, the reserve balance in the Con- solidated Fund may partially be al, - plied to the Milk Inspection Depart- ment. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to refer the communication to the City Council pending further investiga. tion. Seconded by Councilman Ben. nett.
