The agreement, as determined, was that the use of the land was to be permitted without any rental fee, but the Rice Brothers were to pay to the City the regular one -day lic- ense fee amounting to $50.00 for the right to hold their Dog and Pony Circus within the City. The $50.00 fee was approved by -the ad%-ance agent of the circus. No other dale is scheduled this day or night at the Ball Park. (2) Right to Install Well, Etc., at Trausch Baking Co. Sidewalk. Mr. James W. Lundon of Mullen Brothers & Co., Plumbers, presented a request for the right to install a well and equipment under the west sidewalk space at 19-31 Main Street, in front of the Trausch Baking Com- Pany.

Gentlemen:- In connection with the appeal from Mr. John Mayerle of 400 Central Avenue to repay him the $3.20 fee charged to him and paid by Mr. Mayerle to the Mullen Bros. & Company, please be advised as follows:— Mullen Bros. were called to his building on April 16th. The plumb- er attempted to drain the flooding water from his basement but could not, dire to several feet of excessive water in the sewer main and man- holes on Fourth Street west of the railroad tracks. The city sewer department was advised at this time of the Page Hotel, Canfield Hotel and several other basements near there being flooded. The river stage was then about 16 feet. This sewer system should have drained into the river,, even at this 16 foot stage, but near the discharge point below the City Harbor a great amount of heavy sewage in this sewer caused a con- gestion and the water in the man- hole rose as high as within two feet of the street paving level of East Fourth at White Street. By tapping a manhole near the river front this excessive sanitary sewage head was finally lowered. However, another congestion still existed south of East Fourth Street. This was also eliminated after con- siderable work. Accordingly, the flood in Mr. May- erle's basement was not due to his 152 Special Session own sewer, but from stoppage of the main city sewer. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the bill in the amount of $3.20 for labor of plumber caused by the back- ing up of the main sanitary sewer be allowed and that a warrant in said amount be drawn on the City Treasurer in favor of John Mayerle. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Pro Tem Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers and Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Mayor Jaeger. June 26, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A request was made today by J. W. Cretzmeyer, General Chairman of St. Mary's Church Gar- den Party, 15th and White Streets, to have authority from the City Council to erect a temporary cloth sign across Main Street at No. 636. 637. The purpose of this request is to advertise the Garden Party to be held on July 161. The chairman stated that, if granted, the sign would be erected on July 5th and removed on July 16th. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the request be granted. Seconded by Councilman Chalmers. . Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Pro Tem Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers and Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Mayor Jaeger. June 1936 Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Today, Mr. Hugh McMullan of 669 West 16th Street advised that a delinquency in spe- cial assessments has resulted for Years due to his inability to pay Yearly payments for the paving oY West 17th Street, including his va- cant Lot 13 of Yate's Sub. The original assessment on this Lot 13 for the paving of West 17th Street as levied October 14, 1929, was $249.66. Three payments, in. eluding principal of $74.92, are Ported paid by Mr. Otto Pula, Cre ity Treasurer. The balance of this prin- cipal is $174.74. From records received from the County Auditor the total unpaid June 30th, 1936 principal, interest and penalties to date equal $263.73. Mr. McMullan requests that since this is still a vacant lot, but he de• sires to continue the ownership of same, that authority be made by the City Council for him to pay the balance of the principal plus 6% in. terest on said amount still due. Mr. McMullan advised that he intends to pay the delinquent taxes on this Lot 13 and also on a vacant Lot No. 18 on West 16th Street. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. City Solicitor Czizek recommend. Ing that Mr. McMullan be granted permission to pay the delinquent special assessments levied against Lot 13 of Yate's Sub. for the paving of West 17th Street by the paying of the principal plus 6% interest per annum and advertising costs, the balance of the penalties and interest to be waived. Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of City Solicit- or Czizek be approved and the peti- tion granted and also that the City and County Treasurers be instruct- ed accordingly. Seconded by Coun- cilman Schiltz. Carried by the fol- lowing vote: Yeas — Mayor Pro Tenn Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers and Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Mayor Jaeger. June 22, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Today Mr. Isaac Wy- burn, who lives at 110 Southern Av- enue, (Lot 8 of Randall Sub.), made a verbal statement that he would purchase the two small lots south of his home, the said lots now owned by the City, for a total of $100.00 in cash. This proposal includes the Purchase of Lot 9, which is 50 ft. in width and approximately 65 ft. in depth, and Lot 10, which averages 43 ft. in width and about 56 ft. in depth. The total approximate area of those two combined lots would be less than 5700 sq. ft. Lot 11, which faces Southern Avenue south of Lot 10, extends in the rear to- ward the north and includes an ap• proximate 50 ft. width in rear of both Lots 9 and 10. Lots 9 and 10 were owned by the Nagle Estate in 1927. After the san- itary sewer was constructed on Southern Avenue and no payments were made by the owner of these lots, the City assumed the title of the same. On August 1, 1931, when the City actually acquired these two r 5 ec'ral Session, June 30th, 1936 lots the principal and interest then totalled: Lot 9 Special Assessment ...... $ 98.95 Lot 10 Special Assessment...... 102.65 Total.......................................... $201.60 The principal and interest assess- ments were paid by the City. Now the offer is slightly less than 50% of this total special assessment. Mr. Wyburn requested that consideration by the Council be made on June 30th and, if possible, a decision be made as to the sale on the basis of his offer. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved to re- fer the communication to the City Council to view the grounds. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Pro Tem Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers and Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Mayor Jaeger. June 30, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The City of Dubuque still owns some lots on the north side of East 4th Street,. and north therefrom, including Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 of the Industrial Sub. No. 2, lying between the rail- road crossing and East 6th Street. Last week a request was made for a price on certain of these lots. The writer quoted the Council authoriza- tion as made to me on November 7, 1932, that any and all of these lots could be sold at the rate of $.25 per square foot. The rate of $.25 per square foot was practically dehied on this day and a request was fur- ther made to determine whether a lower rate could be authorized. A study of conditions hereon in- cludes: (1) Total Costs to City: Purchase of original 16 Lots ..............................$10,553.75 Improvements made by City, including fill- ing, grading, etc......... 13,134.16 Total Costs ....................$23,687.91 Area of entire 16 Lots 139,311 sq. ft. Average per sq. ft. cost to City—$.17004. (2) Lots Sold Prior to 1932: 12-17-24, Lot 1, facing 4th Street, Area - 11,167 sq. ft. @ $.25..$ 2,791.75 12-17-24, Lot 8, facing 4th Street, Area - 20,500 sq. ft. @ $.20.. 4,100.00 153 1-26.25, Lot 2, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 Inclusive, Area -32,539 sq. ft. @ $.13855 .................... 4,508.25 Total Area Sol -64,20'6 sq. ft............................$11,400.00 Average price received by City for the 8 lots sold, per sq. ft.............$.17756 (3) The remaining total area of lots still owned by the City equals 75,105 sq. ft. The average price per square foot to be secured for the present City lots to pro- vide for the original cost of land Purchased and graded (less the $11,400.00 already received) would be at $.1636 per sq. ft. It is suggested, as variations in price per square foot for lots al- ready sold have occurred, that a di- vision in prices of land still owned by the City should be authorized. Lot 8, facing East 4th Street, was sold at $.20 per square foot. If the additional City owned lots, facing 4th Street were also authorized to be sold at $.20 per square foot, in- cluding -Lots 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, the total areas of 30,825 sq. ft. would yield $6,165.00. Then if Lot 9, which has a 40 ft. frontage on East 4th Street, but the large arta is north thereof, were listed at $.18Y2 for the area of 17,400 sq. ft., this sale would yield $3,219.00. Also Lots 10 and 11, of 26,880 sq. ft. area, at $.175 per square foot, would yield $4,704.00. Accordingly, the total money receiv- ed for all lots, at the above men- tioned prices, would equal $25,488.00 or slightly more than $1,800.00 in excess of the cost to the City. (No interest is included). If at all possible, the writer sug- gests a decision on this question to- day. The sale of any or all of these lots would not interfere with the parking space at the Ball Park. This area is entirely west of East 6th Street. Additional figures are on hand on the basis of possible sales of these individual lots at $.25, at $.225 and at $.20 per square foot. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

On June 19th the Coun- cil viewed this site. Mr. Huber stated that no snakes had escaped from his storage shed. All of the few snakes now being kept by Mr. Huber are non -poison. ous, are safely stored in proper show cases, boxes, etc., and are not dan- gerous. Practically all of these rep- tiles were handled this day by this young man. The decision of the Council was that young Mr. Edward Huber could at least temporarily continue to pro- vide proper storage of these non - dangerous snakes, etc., but that he could not include the securing and storage in the city of any copper- heads, rattle snakes or any type of dangerous reptiles, etc., and that he must never permit said present or future snakes, etc., to escape.

Gentlemen: On May 4, 1936, the City Council was advised of a ser- ious condition of a small stone wall on the east side of Madison Street, about 400 feet north of West 17th Street. The City Council viewed this site June 19th. The base of this wall is approximately 15 feet above th6 curb level. The wall is approximate - 1Y at the property line of the east side of Madison Street. The decision of the Council was that the City Street Department Should tear down the present stone wall, move the wall back to a solid area from 4 to 8 feet east and re- build the same to provide protection to the ground above Madison Street and prevent the breaking up of this hazard in case of heavy rain.

Gentlemen: On June 19th the City Council viewed Angella Street south of West Locust Street. A verbal request from Mr. James Lee had been filed with City officials two days previous to widen Angella Street by replacing the west curb opposite Mr. Lee's entrance to his storage yard. The plan of widening this street by moving the west curb to near the east edge of the pres- ent concrete steps leading up the hill was for the purpose of provid- ing sufficient width in said street to enable Mr. Lee to remove his large equipment from his land. At present no sidewalk is on the west side of Angella Street from West Locust Street to the bottom of the steps. Grass and flowers are planted by the owners on the west side of Angella Street on the street area west of the present curb. Mr. Lee discussed his request with the City Council members and ad- vised that the parking of cars from Tucker & Luthe, Auto Painters, at 430 West Locust Street, had ser- iously interfered with getting in and out of his storage site. Mr. Tucker of the Tucker & Luthe Co. also re- quested Council to make no changes in the present curb location. No decision by the Council was made in this disputed question. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to suspend the rules for the purpose of allowing any one present in the Council Chamber who wishes to do so, to address the Council. Second- ed by Councilman Bennett. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Pro Tem Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Mayor Jaeger. Mr. James F. Lee addressed the Council requesting that the obstacles be removed on Angella Street and that said street be widened in order that he be allowed access to his property. Councilman Schiltz moved to re- fer the communication to the entire 156 Special Session Council to view the grounds. Sec- onded by Councilman Bennett. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Pro Tem Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Mayor Jaeger. June 20, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A request for a new street light to be installed and addi- tional consideration for requested new sidewalks at and near Burling- ton and National Streets was Sled May 25th. The Council determined to investigate this site and viewed the same on June 19th. Two present street lights at both intersections, including Muscatine and National Streets and Burlington and Primrose Streets, are fairly close to this area, where but few people live. It was determined that the light at Muscatine and National Streets was proper, that practically no trees interfered with this light less than 300 feet from this specified intersection. However, the light now Installed and attached by a bracket on a pole at the southwest corner of Primrose and Burlington Streets Is not near the middle of this inter- section. At this present location sev- eral large trees on the west side of Burlington Street, north of Primrose Street, interfere with this light ser- vice. Accordingly, the Council mem- bers determined that no additional light was necessary, but that instruc- tions were to be given to the Inter- state Power Company to move the Primrose and Burlington light to the east side of this intersection where present trees would not interfere With lighting service on Burlington Street. In regard to the request for side- walks at this area, the Council mem. bers determined that it was not ad. visable to order the installation of any new sidewalks at present due to the fact that the streets are not fully graded and by the installation of sidewalks considerable variation in surface of the ground and side- walks would result in falls, non - elimination of surface water, etc. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the Council be con. firmed. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Pro Tem Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schutz. Nays—None. June 30th, 1936 Absent—Mayor Jaeger, June 20, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The request of Mr. W, J. Connolly et al., filed June 15th, to have the ditch west of Pierce Street filled in by eliminating the higher ground on Pierce Street west of the paving on said street, wag viewed and considered by the Coun- cil on June 19th. A storm sewer was installed and finished in this ditch from Nest Lo. cust Street to Angella Street in 1932. It was determined that as quickly as possible the City should push part of the higher ground just west of the paving into this depres. sion over the storm sewer. However, to prevent any cars or trucks from running off the steep Pierce Street paving and possibly being over. turned and damaged, it was also de. termined that a mound of earth or stone was to be provided and main- tained parallel to the west paving edge starting near West Locust Street and extending for approxim- ately 350 feet in front of the entire area of depression. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the Council be con- firmed. Seconded by Councilman Chalmers. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Pro Tem Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Mayor Jaeger. June 20, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On June 15th a letter from Mr. Geo. N. Schumacher in- cluded the offer to purchase from the City the City owned home and lot at 1801 Prescott Street. The price offered was $800.00 on a $200.00 cash payment and $600.00 to be paid with- in five years. The Council made no decision to sell this property until the same could be investigated again. Accord- ingly, on June 19th this property was investigated by the Council members. It was determined that the exterior of the house needed cer- tain repairs, but that the inside of the same building was still in fair- ly good condition. No serious dam- ages have occurred since the City acquired this property. The decision as made June 19th was that this land and house should not be sold for less than $1,200.00 Special Session, June 30th, 1936 157 as it was still valued at this min- imum rate. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the decision of the Council be con- firmed. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

The Council authorized the Street Superintendent to eliminate these hazards. On June 19th the Council was ad- vised that all requested provisions had been now done, that no damage was done to this home or land by the removal of the hazards and ap- preciation was expressed in regard to the prompt action taken by the Council.

Gentlemen: On June 19th while the City Council members were viewing certain questions that had Previously been referred to them, two additional matters were deter- mined as follows: (A) The two main sewer dis- charge outlets into the Mississippi River south of the City Dock are now being clogged by present mud and heavy sewage in the river water Just beyond the end of the sewer Pipes. It was determined and auth- orized that said obstruction should be removed from these sewer out- lets, including also removing a large Pile of brush and trees north of the Dock Railroad Trestle. (B) The condition of excessive mud at the southeast edge of the Ice Harbor where river passenger boats land at Dubuque was also authorized to be benefitted by the erection of a small stone and con- crete sidewalk leading from the edge of the present large concrete land- ing area toward the river in order that Passengers going to, or coming from, these boats would not have to continue to walk through the bad mud.

July 7, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. , Gentlemen: Replying to yours of June 30th relative to the present status of Lot No. 1, Mill's West Du- buque Sub -division to Dubuque which was handed to me for Investi- gation and report, beg to advise as follows. On March 13, 1929, the City of Dubuque levied against the afore- said lot in the sum of $68.78 for a sewer in Green and Avoca Streets, called Fund No. 809. As nothing had ever been paid on this lot for this sewer it was advertised for sale at the scavenger sale held at the Court House and sold on April 13, 1936, to Mr. Lundin for the sum of $1.00. Mr. Lundin also purchased this lot at the regular tax sale for $3.29 the amount of regular taxes. I would like to suggest that it would be ad- visable to get in touch with Mr. Lun- din who could furnish an estimate on the amount required for redemp- tion. I have been advised that at the time of the scavenger sale the total amount was $112.00—this included Penalties, interest, advertising costs, etc. At the present time, figuring on $1.00 per month, extra penal- ties would make the total approxi- mately $115.00. Respectfully submitted, OTTO F. PULS, City Treasurer. Councilman Chalmers moved to re- fer the communication to the City Solicitor to take up this matter with Attorney Klass of Cedar Rapids, Ia.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: An investigation has been made regarding the sewer trouble at the property of Mrs. Jane Dougherty at 984 Mt. Loretta Ave. Two bills were submitted on June 30th to the Council by Mrs. Jane Dougherty including a request that the City refund to her the first bill,. dated May 12th, of $18.42. This bill has been paid by her to the plumb- ers on May 19th. Mrs. Dougherty also requested that the City pay to the Curtis -Straub Co,, the second bill, dated June 8th, amounting to an additional $44.71. Her basis of requesting the City to pay both of these two bills was because of her determination that her sewer con- nection pipe was all proper and not broken, but that the entire trouble was at her "Y" connection at the city main sewer which had broken off and her lateral had sunken and was clogged just at the main sewer. The city main sewer was not clog- ged and no other sewer connections above this location were in trouble. In constructing sanitary sewers the City assessed to property own- ers the entire main sewer cost and each "Y" connection to individual owners. The contractor is respon- sible to the City for two years, after completion and acceptance, of the main sewer and all lateral connec- tions, including "Y's" or "T's", etc. In this case the maintenance period had expired in 1926, Now it falls upon the City to care for emergency breaks or necessary repairs in main sewers or "Y" breakage. The first plumbing work on May 12th was not reported to the City. No city officials knew of any trouble at this location. No work at this period was performed at or near the main sewer. Apparently the City is not responsible for this first bill as the plumber and owner believed that the trouble had then been elim- inated at the riser. However, the second bill of $44.71 was caused by plumbers working while city officials had been advised and were there to see the actual conditions, including the break of the "Y" connection. The City in- stalled two new 8 in. main sewer Pipes and a new "Y" at the City cost but the real cost of $44.71 was due to Curtis & Straub having exca- vated clear down to the 18 ft. deep main sewer area, prior to the City repairing this main. 7th, 1936 165 Subject to the legal opinion on this question, the decision should be made by the City Council. It ap- pears to the writer that the City should pay for the cost of excava- tion and analysis of the actual break at the "Y" branch, which totals $44.71 and is due to Curtis & Straub, the plumbers. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the bills in the amount of $63.13 be allowed and that a warrant in said amount be ordered drawn on the City Treasurer in favor of Mrs. Jane Dougherty to cover labor, dig- ging, drayage and material for the repair of the main sewer in Mt, Loretta Avenue.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A serious attempt has been made by city officials for some time to eliminate 11 prior cross -connections at various Indus- trial locations in our city. Thus far 10 of the 11 cross -connections have already been eliminated. The present remaining one, at the Ad- ams Co. plant south of East Fourth Street, is now agreed to be elim- inated. Accordingly, within a short time after this last remaining river haz- ard is removed, our city shall be allowed to furnish regular city water to regular railroad coaches. Also proper signs can be erected on high- ways,, at or near the city limits, in- viting strangers to use city water, which will now be approved by the State Health Department. The danger in these previous river Cross -connections would have result- ed f1 the city water pressure was low at any time and the non -purified river water was being pumped to any industry. The river water would then be forced from the industry into the city mains and would be mixed with our pure water supply. This hiie°adl typhoid fever otherserious epidemics among our citizens, where any of this non -purified mixture could enter homes, etc. This elimination of river cross - connections has been recommended and demanded from the State De- partment of Health.

Gentlemen: In connection with the request dated June 30th from Mr. D. C. Chamberlain for permis- sion to extend the width of a present garage by six feet additional, please be advised as follows: This property is at the southeast corner of Locust and West 16th Streets. The lot is designated as the N. % of N. 1-5 of City Lot 474. The size of this lot is 25.6 ft. wide along Locust Street and 114 ft. in depth along West 16th Street. The ownership of this lot is listed under the name of B. H. Chamberlain. Within 12.7 ft. from West Locust Street there is erected on two por- tions of this double lot a two story brick double house. Half of this double house is not located on the north portion of the lot and not owned by Mrs. Chamberlain. Attached is a sketch of the pres- ent location of the home and frame garage. The present frame garage is at the edge of and 20 ft. along West 16th Street and approximately 14 ft. wide along the alley between Locust and Main Streets. The dem sire is to have authority to extend the present frame garage 6 ft. south- ward. This new south wall would be about 5 ft. north of the south property line of Mrs. Chamberlain's property. At the rear of the other % of N. 1-5 of Lot 474 there is now erected a one story, two car, tile garage 20 ft. by 20 ft. This garage is ap- proximately 9 ft. south of the Cham- berlain property. No present gar- ages are located across the alley south of the Chamberlain property. A one-story frame rear porch is located south of both halves of this double house. This double porch is approximately 13 ft, long by 4.5 ft. wide. At present the closest cor- ner of the present frame garage is about 7 ft. from the southeast cor- ner of this frame porch. In case the frame garage is widened 6 ft., then several feet of the new garage west wall will be within 5 ft. of this frame porch on the Chamberlain section of the lot. Apparently the only new hazard at present, if this frame garage were widened 6 ft., would be the rear frame closed porch on the Cham. berlain property 5 ft. distant. Respectfully submitted, R. M.

To the Honorable Mayor, Council and Manager: Gentlemen: As you are about to begin your consideration of the Tax Budget for the fiscal year, 1937, I consider it advisable to submit to you the results of my examination of the condition of the Special Im- provement Bond Funds and the de- mands which will be made upon it on April 1, 1937. You recall that on April 1, 1936, $40,000.00 of Im- provement Bonds matured,, and these bonds defaulted due to the fact that assessments levied were not paid. These bonds were converted into a judgment, and the judgment was subsequently funded by the issuance of Funding Bonds. As I view the situation now, there is likely to be a repetition of this condition in April, 1937, unless something is done to prevent it. The situation is as follows: Bonds aggregating $75,600.00 are outstanding, $1,100.00 of whichma- tured on April 1, 1935, $6,100.00 on April 1, 1936, and $68,400.00 will mature on April 1, 1937. The bonds which matured in 1935 and 1936 were not presented for payment, and, although they do not carry any interest after maturity, the principle thereof must be paid when the same are presented by the owners. The bonds which -niature in April, 1937, bear a 5% interest rate, payable semi-annually on October 1 and April 1. The interest which be.. comes due on each of these semi. annual dates is $1,710.00. These bonds are payable from the funds created by the payment of special assessments. The City Treasurer has prepared for me a statement of the funds against which there are outstanding bonds. It appears from this that there are no bonds against any fund prior to Fund 773, although there are unpaid assessments in funds back as far as Fund 344. In many of these funds prior to Fund 773, assessments are being paid, thereby creating what might be termed "free money," that is, money available for the payment of bonds and in- terest outstanding in Fund 773 and funds subsequent thereto. A record which I prepared in April, 1936, showing delinquent as- sessments as of November, 1935, re- veals the fact that there was ap- proximately $12,500.00 unpaid at that time in funds prior to Fund 773. There are some funds subsequent to Fund 773 in which there are no bonds outstanding, but there remain unpaid assessments. The Auditor has submitted to me a statement showing March and April, 1936, col- lections of funds against which there are no bonds outstanding. These collections amounted to $3,606.92. No doubt additional col- lections will be made in these funds during the year 1936, and the more money that can be collected there- in the more "free money" will be available to pay interest and prin- cipal on bonds which mature ;in 1937 and subsequent years. In 1934 the City refunded $50,000 of Special Improvement Bonds. In- cluded in this issue was approxi- mately $39,000.00 of bonds which were payable from funds prior to Fund 773. These Refunding Bonds are now known as Fund 943, $5,000.00 of which mature each year UP to and including the year, 1944. In April, 1936, $1000.00 of tfie"se bonds matured but were not pre- sented for payment,, and $5,000.00 mature in April, 1937. These bonds should be called and paid as prompt- ly as possible. Therefore, I make the following recommendations as to all funds prior to Fund 773: C_ , Regular Session, July 7th, 1936 . 169 1. That the Auditor be instructed to credit such funds with all col- lections as they are made, and af- ter such credits are made to trans- fer such collections to Fund 943, indicating upon the records in such funds the fact of such transfers as ordered by the City Council, until such Fund 943 has sufficient money in it to pay the bonds and interest maturing in April, 1937, and the bonds which mature in 1936.. 2. That the Treasurer be in- structed to call for payment, from time to time as sufficient funds are available in this fund, such refund- ing bonds, thereby stopping the iit- terest. 3. When sufficient money has been thus transferred and if the collections in funds prior to Fund 773 are in excess of such require- ments, then the Auditor be directed to transfer to other funds wherein the assessments will not be suffi- cient to pay the bonds maturing In such funds in 1937, as will be hereinafter again referred to. 4, That the Manager proceed at once to determine the present de- linquency in all such assessment funds. When that is determined, then that he set in motion a plan to collect all assessments delinquent In all funds prior to Fund 773, there- by building up these "free money" funds and make them available for transfer, as stated. Unless these col- lections are made during the sum- mer and fall months, it is likely they will not be made at all. I be- lieve a great amount of delinquent assessments can be collected if the proper approach is made to property owners and if a reasonable propo- sition of compromise is submitted. A great many people have been paid bonus money, and if an adjustment of these tax liens is offered to them, many of them will use their bonus to save their homes. Up to this time I have discussed largely the disposition of funds pri- or to Fund 773 and the proposed transfer to Fund 943. I find that in Funds 777, 790, 792, 793, 794, 804, 807, 815, 836, 837, 840 and 884 there are no outstanding bonds, but col- lections have been made therein in March and April. These collections and if any further collections are made therein that they be trans- ferred in the same manner as is recommended for funds prior to 773. The Auditor has submitted to me a statement showing March and April, 1936, collections in funds be- ginning with 773 (exclusive of the funds I have above enumerated) and ending with Fund 950. These collections total $29,012.00. Addi- tional collections will be made in these funds during the current year, but it is hardly reasonable to ex- pect that the amount needed for the payment of these bonds and inter- est maturing in 1937, along with the bonds which were not present- ed for payment in 1935 and 1936, as stated, will be realized unless some special effort is made by the city to collect the same. The city cannot afford to encounter a situ- ation similar to the one which oc- curred on April 1 this year when $40,000.00 of bonds matured and there was no money in the funds with which to pay the same. It was only through the arrangement which was made with the White - Phillips Company that a serious sit- uation was avoided. It cannot be expected and we should not rely upon such assistance being given again. Consequently the responsi- bility for making a special effort to collect delinquent assessments falls upon the public officials. I have stated that $68,400.00 of bonds mature in 1937 and that We March and April collections aggre- gate $32,618.92. However, these collections include payments in Funds 946, 948, 949 and 950 total- ing $4,489.64, wherein no bonds are due in 1937. By deducting the sum of $4,489.64 from $32,618.92 we have a balance in funds available for 1937 maturities at this time of only $28,129.28. This will be supple- mented by future collections. In several funds bonds should be called and paid thereby stopping the Interest. For example: The March and April collections in Fund 806 amount to $417.42. A $300.00 bond can be called and paid. In Fund 817 the collections were $500.85. A $500.00 bond can be called and paid. In Fund 825 the collections were $241.75. A $200.00 bond can be called and paid. In Fund 872 the collections were $1,483.48. A $1,500.00 bond can be called and paid. In Fund 879 $3,610.39 has been collected. $3,500.00 in bonds can be paid. In Fund 882 $817.13 has been collected. A $500.00 bond can be paid. In Fund 892 $170.56 has been collected. A $100.00 bond can be paid. In Fund 899 $120.15 has been collected, and a $10.00 bond can be ai has been collectedu9 anda $100.0 bond can be paid. In Fund 901 $241.92 has been collected and a $200.00 bond can be paid. In Fund 903 nd $2,500.00 0 6 in bonds can bhas been e ected a paid. In Fund 916 $348.33 has been collected and a $300.00 bond can be paid. In Fund 917 $988.79 has been collected and $],000.00 in bonds can be paid. in Ol lecteanau3 $516.54 nda $500.00 bond een c can be 170 Regular Session, July 7th, 1936 paid. In Fund 925 $709.93 has been collected and a $500.00 bond can be paid. In Fund 927 $1,885.39 has been collected and $1,500.00 in bonds can be paid. In Fund 928 $138.98 was collected and a $100.00 bond can be paid. In Fund 940 $921.75 has been collected and a $500.00 bond can be paid. In, Fund 947 $1,270.14 has been collected and $1,000.00 in bonds can be paid. As collections Increase these funds, bonds should be called and paid and the Treasurer should be instructed to call bonds as soon as funds show available cash. As I have indicated nerein no bonds mature in 1937 in Funds 946, 948, 949 and 950, the first mater. ities being in subsequent years. For example: in Fund 946 $4,08.15 has been collected, and $1,000.00 in bonds mature in 1938. In Fund 948 $5,000.00 in bonds mature in 1939, and there has been collected there- in $2,758.66. $2,500.00 of these bonds can be called and paid. In Fund 949 $1,500.00 of bonds mature in 1939, and there has been collected $1,309.17. $1,000.00 of these bonds can be called and paid. The point I wish to make is that the city profits nothing by permit. ting funds to accumulate. On the contrary, there is always a loss of interest which in years past has in. creased to a substantial sum. There- fore, the Treasurer should be in- structed to call bonds in any fund wherein there is sufficient money to pay one or more bonds no matter when the same mature. The Council must realize that in many funds assessments will not be paid in amounts sufficient to meet bond and interest payments. e- cific examples may be given. In Fund 879, the improvement of Cen- tral Avenue, $2,500.00 in bonds ma- tured in 1936 and were not pre- sented for payment, In 1937 $8,500.00 in bonds mature, making a total of $11,000.00. Interest due in 1937 is $425.00. The March and April col- lections amounted to $3,610.39. In Fund 903, West Dubuque Sewer Dis. trict, the March and April collec- tions were $2,703.66, but $6,000.00 in bonds mature in 1937. Other funds could be referred to in the same way, but these are given to exemplify my point. While there evil] be additional collections in these, and other funds, yet it is hardly to be expected that enough Will be collected to pay interest and Principal on bonds. Therefore, it is the Council's duty to anticipate the shortage. How• can this be done? The Improvement aFund Tax mounts to 1% mills. This is the only direct tax that can be levied for the payment of these bonds. But this tax is used in the Cousoli. dated Fund. However, appropria. tions are made from the Consolidat- ed Fund for operation and other Purposes. Therefore, we are con. fronted with the necessity of making an adequate appropriation from the Consolidated Fund to pay Me bonds and interest. We cannot depend up. on the financial aid next year such as we received this year from the White -Phillips Company. Anottler matter to be considered in this, connection, is the interest which bedbmes due in Octtber and April on the $40,000.00 Funding Bonds which were issued to pay the judgment secured by the White -Phil lips Company on the defaulted bonds. Provisions should be made to pay this interest by an appro- priation. It does not seem possible to pay the same next year in any other way. Therefore, I make the following recommendations regarding funds beginning with 773 and subsequent thereto: I.

Resolution No. 80-36 'RESOLUTION AND APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO INCREASE FIRE MAINTENANCE TAX. -RESOLUTION AND APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO INCREASE THE FIRE MAINTENANCE LE- VY, IN AUGUST, 1936, 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 bas- is, will be inadequate to meet the actual and necessary expenses of maintaining the Dubuque Fire De- partment during the next fiscal year; and Whereas, by the passage of an act, designated Senate File 144, by the 1935 Iowa State Legislature, the City of Dubuque has the right to make a request and secure approval from the State Comptroller to in- crease the Fire Maintenance Levy from 2.50 mills to 3.50 mills: Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the City Council 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 .85 mill (or a total levy of 3.35 mills) for the 1937.8 fiscal year of operation.

Resolution No. 81-36 RESOLUTION AND APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO LEVY AN EMERGENCY TAX. Whereas, the revenue in a certain 172 Special Session, July Sth, 1936 .fund of the City of Dubuque Mu- nicipality set out in the within ap• plication is inadequate to meet the actual and necessary expenses which must be paid from said dufund and any extraordinary or een expense 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 1936 in the sum of 1.000 mill on the assessed valu- ation of $32,300,000.00 equal to Thirty -Two Thousand Three Hun- dred Dollars ($32,300.00) (not ex- ceeding one (1.00 mill) said tax to be used as set out below. Fund to be Benefitted: The Con- solidated Tax Levy is requested to be benefitted. Reason: The assessed valuation In August, 1929, was $48,318,504.00. At present the estimate of the as- sessed valuation for 1937-8 is $32,- 300,000.00, including a reduction of 33.15%. Since the 1929 levy this assessed valuation has decreased each year. The maximum levy for the Consolidated Fund in 1929 was $339,070.00. Now the 7.00 mill max- imum levy, on the basis of $32,300,- 000.00 valuation, will only yield $226,100.00 in regular taxes to the Consolidated Fund. This amount will not be sufficient to meet de. mands for regular city operation and will not provide renewal of a great amount of equipment, including a city ambulance, street trucks, etc., which have not been able to be re- placed, as yet, after many years of service and which may fail at any time. The foregoing Resolution was ad- opted at a special called meeting of the City Council of Dubuque, Iowa, on the 8th day of July, 1936. F. M. JAEGER, Mayor. M. R. KANE, PETER SCHILTZ, A. M.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In connection with the verbal request made to the City Council on July 27th for permission to use a loud speaker upon City streets twice a week, during the hours of 6:00 p. in. to 8:30 p. in., for the purpose of conducting a watch tower religious program, please be advised as follows: The provision requiring the non- use of loud speakers on City streets is included in the City Traffic Ordin- ance, revised June 27th, 1935, as follows: "Par. 531, Section 6. No person shall park or permit to be barked any vehicle upon the streets or alleys merely for the purpose of displaying it for sale or storing it while not in use, nor shall any vehicle be parked or operated up- on the streets which, by loud speakers or mechanical devices, is used to advertise events or the sale of goods, wares or merchan. dise." The writer's opinion of this re- quest that was made to him, proir to the Council discussion, was that no loud speakers are now authorized to be operated on City streets. Ac- cordingly, I denied the request to operate even a religious program on the basis that the above quoted sec- tion of the ordinance prevents the loud speakers to be operated on pub- lic streets. In this case, however, no advertising is likely included. Pre- vious complaints filed against loud speakers were on the basis of noise and not simply against advertising. It is still my opinion that, if this request is granted, a change in this ordinance should be made to auth- orize this type of religious loud - speaking programs. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz m o v e d that the request be denied. Seconded by Councilman Bane.

Gentlemen: The undersigned hereby certifies that the contract for the construction of one, new, elevated, steel, 750,000 gallon capac- ity Water Tank, located on the cor- ner of West Third and College Streets, Pittsburgh -Des Moines Steel Company, contractor, has been com- pleted. I further certify that this work has been done in accordance with the plans and specifications and stipulations of the contract and I would therefore recommend its ac- ceptance by the Council. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Resolution No. 100-36.

Absent—Councilman Chalmers. Resolution No. 101-36 The untimely and tragic death of Senator Louis Murphy startled the nation. He was summoned to his eternal reward at a moment when his value as a statesman was begin- ning to be realized. He was recog- nized among his associates in the Legislative Halls of Congress as a elan of high intellectual attain- ments, of sterling character and ability, possessing a deep under- standing of the complex problems affecting the people of this country in all walks of life, and at all times devoting his energies for their com- fort and relief. As time passes, his efforts and accomplishments as a United States senator will be bet- ter understood and realized. The people of Dubuque knew Sen- ator Murphy from childhood. He was born here. His life was lived here. He was intimately associated with all civic and public achieve- ments. His popularity was evi- denced by the unanimous support which he received from all of our people at the election of 1932, re- gardless of creed or political affilia- tions. He rewarded the confidence reposed in him by faithful and cour- ageous service. While the nation has lost a great and promising statesman,. and there has been removed from this coni- nnulity a splendid citizen, there re- mains the consolation that his life has not been lived in vain and his name will remain indelibly engraved upon the tablets of memory pro- claiming him as a statesman, a plan and an honorable citizen, which the passing of time will never cause to grow dim. The City Council, as the govern- ing body of the City of Dubuque and on behalf of all of its citizens, desires to give expression to the sorrow which has been caused by the death of Senator Murphy and to extend to his fa -lily the sympathy of all of the citizens of this cog 11111I1 i ty. Be it, therefore, resolved by the Citv Council of the µ weaty k and Dubuque that this tribute, nex pressive as it may be, be spread upon the public records t of is Coun- de- (•il and that a copy P livered by the City Clerk, in person, to his widow and family. 194 Regular Session, august 3rd, 1936 Passed, adopted and approved this 3rd day of August, 1936.

Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In connection with the James F. Lee contract for paw ing Bluff Street from West Third to West Eighth Streets, the City Council did extend this time of com- pletion from July 1st to July 31st. However the entire project was not completed by July 31st. A delay was caused to Aug. 5th, 1936. Accordingly, to provide this exten. sion for the PWA officials, it is re- quested that the City Council auth. orize now by motion one additional week more, or to Aug. 6th, 1936, for the Bluff Street paving completion. While, as above stated, this pav- ing contract was finished on Aug. 5th, there is still a controversy be- tween Mr. Lee, our City Engineer- ing Department and the local PWA officials. As yet it has not been pos- sible to determine the actual addi- tional costs of certain gxtra work on this job. An attempt was made to get this question settled today, but due to Mr. Walter Cullen's moth- er's unfortunate death and her fun- eral this afternoon it was not pos- sible to make a definite statement to the Council for acceptance. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved to re- ceive and file the communication. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

Gentlemen: At the last regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission it was decided to aalc Your honorable body to revise the Zoning Ordinance so as to permit the construction of Multiple Family Dwellings on Delhi Street between the Local Business District at Grandview Avenue and Delhi Street to Auburn Street. The description of the property in the two Family Residence District which must be rezoned to "Multiple Family Residence District" is as fol- lows: all of lots 7 to 18, inclusive, and that portion of 19 (now Two Family Residence) in Reche's Sob.: that portign of Lot 1-1 (now Two Family Residence) and Lots 2-1, 2. 3, and Lot 2 of Sub. of 4 ()f , and 1-1.6 and 2-1-7, and 2 of 8, 9. 10 11, Special Session, August 14th, 19315 --------------------------- and 12, all in Morheiser's Sub. 'and Lot 1 of Schwind's Homestead. Also on 24th Street between Cen- tral Avenue east to the Heavy In- dustrial District adjacent to Elm Street, it was decided to ask you to rezone to Business District. A petition was filed with the Planning and Zoning Commission asking for certain lots on the street to be re- zoned, but because 24th Street has developed into such an important link of travel between the Linwood and Windsor Avenue section of the city and the north end section of the city it was thought good policy to rezone the lots abutting 24th Street to business use. The description of the property is as follows: rezone from Two Fam- ily Residence District to Business District the East 90 ft. of Lot 170, all of 20A, and Lots 69 and 70 in L. I -I. Langworthy's Addition; Lots 1, 2, 11, and 12 in New Jackson Sub.; Lots 1, 2, 45, and 46 in Boulevard Addition; Lots 23 and 24 in O. S. Langworthy's Sub. Rezone from lo- cal Business District to Husiness District the East 68 ft, of the North 62 ft. of Lot 24, and the East 12 ft. of the West 92 ft. of the North 62 ft. of Lot 24, all in L. H. Lang - worthy's Addition; and Lot 1 of 3 of 107, Lot. 2 of 1 of 2 of 107, Lot 2 of 3 of 107, and Lot 2 of 3 of 107, and the West 11 ft. of 1 of 1 of 2 of 107, all in L. H. Langwor- thy's Addition. Plats of the above proposed dis- tricts are attached to this letter. Your co-operation is certainly ap- preciated. Yours very truly, R. V. AlcKAY, Secretary, Planning and Zoning Commission.

Mr. Otto Bethke, our Electrical In. spector, will agree to attend this meeting during his vacation if the same Is authorized by the City Council. The entire railroad fare will be approximately $14.00. The Council's opinion is desired as to whether or not Mr. Bethke shall attend this meeting. Respectfully submitted R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the request be denied. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None. August 12, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On August 3rd a peti- tion signed by Mrs. G. V. N. Jaeger requesting the authority to erect and operate a rear wooden stairway on the city alley was referred by the Council to the City Manager for a report. This question was investigated by the Building Inspector and City Manager today. The location of the building is at the southwest corner of Main and West 5th Streets on part of City Lot 65. The build- ing is three stories in height and the rear of said building is at the east line of the 30 ft. wide alley west of Main Street. The width of this three story brick building is approximately 44 ft. At present there is an open cel- lar -way on the alley at the rear of this building. Poles along the east side of this alley are approximately five ft. Prom the building. On May 13th, after an investiga- tion of this location by the Fire, Building and Health authorities of this city, a written report was sub- Special Session, mitted to Mrs. Jaeger, as the agent for Ella Bassermann, owner,, who lives in California. Copy of this report is attached hereto. In connection with the request to have authority to erect a wooden stairway from the third floor level, also including the second floor level and then to the alley, it is not in compliance with Iowa Housing Law. Stairways on the outside of a build- ing and fire escapes, as are require—u, must be of fire -resistive materials, including iron or steel. In the past, certain limited wood- en stairways have been approved by the City Council, but these wooden constructions have only applied to one story. In case of a fire, a wood- en stairway to the third floor would be a serious hazard. The State Fire Escape Law, as Included in the 1935 Iowa Code, re- quires by: Section 1662—"Fire Es- capes for All Three Story Buildings" and Section 1664-B—"Outside Fire Escapes or Ladders" that same shall be of steel or wrought iron. Accordingly, we see no possible authorization from the City Council to approve a three story wooden fire escape stairway on a city alley. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the petition be denied. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz., Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None. August 12, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In accordance with authority from the City Council, bids on separate items for the Dubuque Swimming Pool were received, as advertised, on July 6th. Those bids were all based on the specifications and general outline of the pool as prepared by the architect, Mr. C. I. Krajewski. Approximately 17 certi- fied checks were received and in the statement to bidders we agreed not to hold the checks over 45 days If no award was made on any equip- ment. After discussing these various bids with the W. P. A. officials, it now seems that definite changes must be made on practically all specifications in order to keep with- in the $60,000.00 limit. Inasmuch as quite a few of the various outlined portions of the bids will now be furnished by the W. P_ A. organization, it is the writer's suggestion that all of the bids, as received on July 6th, be cancelled and authorization be made by the August 14th, 1936 199 City Council to return the certifled checks to each bidder. Respectfully submitted, R, M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that all bids be rejected and that the certified checks be returned to the bidders. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None.

Highest six cylinder deferred bal- ance—$8,675.00. The two bids on the 12 cylinder motor equipment, after the $5,000.00 is paid, include: Lowest 12 cylinder deferred bal- ance—$8,675.00. Other 12 cylinder deferred balance —$8,705.00 Standardization is Recommended The National Board of Fire Un- derwriters recommend that each City Fire Department be supplied with pumping equipment from one company. Their criticism is based on the purchasing of a number of similar fire pumps from different companies. The aim is to have sev- eral pieces of apparatus from the same builder so that repair parts are interchangeable and a stock of repair parts can be safely and am- ply provided. The Underwriters al- so advise the purchase of apparatus for fire service that is built, as com- pletely as possible, in the factory of the one firm selling the same. The experience of many Fire Depart- ments has been, that where asseut- bled apparatus had been in service for several years, it became difficult to secure repair parts of the same where some of the manufacturers had gone out of business. Accord- ingly, it is advisable to purchase fire equipment that is fully manu- factured by one company, providing said company is responsible and well financed. Present Dubuque Equipment The present major City Fire Equipment includes: FROM AMERICAN LA FRANCE & FOAMITE INDUSTRIES, INC. 750 Gal. Pump, 22 years old, at Grandview Avenue Station. 1000 Gal. Pump, 14 years old, at Delhi Street Station. 1000 Gal. Pump, 12 years old,. at Ninth Street Station. 75 Ft. Aerial Ladder Truck, 20 years old, at Ninth Street Station, FROM AHRENS-FOX CO. 750 Gal. Pump, 19 years old, at Rhomberg Avenue Station. .1000 Gal. Pump, 11 years old, at 18th Street Station, FROM MACK TRUCK CO. r One City Service Ladder Truck, nine years old, at Ninth Street Sta- tion. These three companies, that have built and furnished our present equipment, still furnish all neces- sary repair parts for the same up- on orders and payments from the City. Accordingly, from the recommend. ations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and also from the lo- cal experience of our operators and mechanics, it would seem that stan- dardization of fire equipment is es- sential. Conclusion Due to the fact that the Ameri- can La France Company now has four pieces of fire equipment in our department, that even the oldest 22 year pump is still in regular ser- vice, that this company has sold more fire apparatus for many years than all combined competitors, it is the recommendation that this award Ile made to this company. Both the six and twelve cylinder Allied - can La France modern maior ap- paratus is now fully built in their factory. The price as offered for the six cylinder machine is a total of $13,500.00, while the more mod- ern 12 cylinder machine price total is $13,675.00, or only $1,175.00 more. The 12 cylinder motor and pump, as manufactured by this com- pany, has given satisfactory service for over five years. The additional water capacity in the 12 cylinder machine varies from 25% to 50% over the maximum six cylinder ca- pacity. Waterloo purchased a new 12 cylinder American La France en- gine in 1936, after a complete In- vestigation of other standard makes. There are now in operation in larg- er and smaller cities, thai Dub over 400 additional 12 cylinder pumps as made by the the American La France Co. In additiontof phis statement ail - of lloprices, 11. P. other comparative outline of all ma jor items is now availahln, as pre- pletei pecificationsclas1Glilini of ]tteclle ohy each bidder. We. greatly appreciate the action and cooperation of the representatives of the firms that made these bids. 202 Special Session, Auaust 14th, 1936 It is the Fire Chief's and the writ- er's definite desire to secure at this time the most efficient and reliable piece of Fire Equipment. According- ly, we definitely recommend the purchase of the 12 cylinder Ameri- can La France Pumping Engine. This price, if not paid in full cash, will be $13,675.00. The guarantee against defects for this equipment, as authorized by the American La France Co., only, is for the entire life of the entire machine. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

In connection with the discussion on AAttorneyst thinfrom e Mr, F. D. Gilloon, gard to a ProPosed 5 Year Lease of the Airport to the Dubuque a Breda s, Incorporated, Plea follows: 204 Special Session, August 21st, 1936 Attached are: 1) A proposal from Mr. F. D. Gil - loon, dated August 15th, 1936. 2) A letter from the Chamber of Commerce Airport Committee, dated August 19th, 1936. 3) Recommendations, in addition, from the City Manager. 3. Recommendations from City Manager. In the study of 1-a, page 1, of Mr. Gilloon's letter, of August 19th, the following is suggested: Quoting: "All planes, no matter by whom owned or operated, shall at all times have the privilege, without charge, of landing on parking and taking off from the airfield;" The word underscored, "on," is a question. Apparently this word should be eliminated. All planes, etc., shall have privilege, etc., of landing, parking and taking off, etc., is the meaning of this outline. In the second sentence of l -a, quot- ing: "Providing further, that nothing herein shall prevent planes operat- ing from bases outside the City of Dubuque from discharging passen- gers destined to Dubuque and taking on passengers destined for points outside of Dubuque," a very appar- ent omission is made. We are now desirous of securing out -of -city Planes that will daily provide for de- livery of mail and certain materials Into and from Dubuque, in both North-South and East-West direc- tions. In the above quoted sentence the delivery of "passengers" should also include additional "mail and materials." In Item 2 on page 1 of Mr. Gil. loon's proposed lease the city appro. priation of $300.00, as mentioned, is apparently to provide assistance in winter periods for the licensed pilot. This spring Mr. Tegeler, president of the Dubuque Airways, Incorporated, made a request to the Council tocon' a contribution from the City Of $10.00 per week for six months, in the winter periods, to assist fin- ancing the pilot when practically no flying service would be performed, but when occasionally a plane might land and a pilot should be available in entire daytime. A tentative ap- proval by the Council was made to Provide for this assistance. The to- tal sum from October 1 to March 31, equal to 26 weeks, would be $260.00, not $300.00. The City total Airport fund levy for 1935-6 is $660.00. The 1936 levy for next year is also $660.00. Pres- ent costs at the Airport include year- ly Fire Insurance, $3,000.00, in the Hangar, costing $126.60 per year; yearly Liability Insurance $50,000.00 maximum, on the Airport, costing $68.00 per year; monthly telephone service, equal to approximately $5.00 per month, or $60.00 per year; and grass and weed cutting will likely cost $100.00 or more per season if the $260.00 is authorized by the Council for the contribution to the airport pilot, then the remaining bal. ante, equal to approximately only $45.00, will have to provide for scrap- ing, rolling and repairing the run- ways, etc. An amount of $300.00 is not yet available for any pilot contribution. In Section 2, of page 2, of Ill.. Gil - loon's outline of the condition., it is also -suggested that a definite sched. ule of rates and charges for the fol- lowing service, including: (a) Storage of planes in the hangar. (b) Delivery of one, or more per. sons, on a single or return trip to any location beyond this City by a plane owned by the Dubuque Air- ways, Incorporated. (c) Any other service to be per- formed by the Dubuque Airways, In- corporated, etc., should be included. Either these prices and rates, as to be charged by the Dubuque Air- ways, Incorporated, should be stated in the 5 -1 -ear Contract; or after the contract is approved, the definite schedule of rates should be approved by the City Council and made pub- lic. These rates should be of a stan- dard basis and in comparison to charges made by other similar ah - port operators in this section of the country. Another point suggested for con- sideration by the City Council is that possibly next year, or later, a large aviation company may deter- mine to land daily on our Airport. To accomplish this, we may have to agree to store a plane free, for emergency, or provide a place for a mechanic to be located for service, or other necessary provisions. It. is suggested that if any such requests be presented that the Council and the Airway Corporation make every Possible provision to secure this im- portant service. Regular planes are now flying from 200 to 300 miles per hour. Many of our busy citizens de- sire such air way service )rout Dubuque. In the future, prior to the end of the 5 -Year Contract, it will likely be necessary to make certain additional provisions between the City and the Corporation, in order to properly operate the new project. The con- tract should provide for said addi- tional conditions, if necessary. Mr. Dudley Withers, of the Bureau of Air Commerce, 1315 South Mich- igan Avenue, Chicago, was here la�i I Session, August 21st, 1936 205 Friday. He advised that at present his opinion was that no airport lights were necessary. He further stated that lights should be but a few in- ches above the level of the ground; and that due to our own flooding condition that lights and under- ground wiring for the lights would be damaged by any 14 -foot flood stage. He further stated that no posts could be installed to provide the location of lights above the maximum flood stage. We still be- lieve that wiring for lights can be provided by use of water -proof cable on this location. Another question discussed with Mr. Withers was in regard to many local complaints from citizens, where planes were flying over the city on a too low basis for -safety. Mr. With- ers advised that a definite provision should be made by ordinance, or lease, that planes flying over the business and residence sections of the City should be at least 2,000 feet above the roof of nay building. Planes starting to fly from the air- port should head north, or south, and gain the proper heighth, prior to flying over the thickly settled city areas. In case a plane is 2,000 feet above a roof and the engine should fail, or stop, this 2,000 -foot heighth will provide a possible reserve to safely glide the plane and finally land it at the airport without use of the motor. Accordingly, it is suggested that in either the lease, or an ordinance, that all planes should be prohibited from flying from our airport to areas in our business, industrial and resi- dence districts until the minimum of 2,000 foot heighth, above our high- est roofs, has been reached. Another point should be provided, Possibly, by a City Ordinance is the requirement of obstruction lights in all high smoke stacks, highline tow- ers and other hazardous obstruc- tions. It is suggested that a contract, based on the determined conditions by the Council, should be made with the Dubuque Airways, Incorporated. Their co6peration should definitely make our flying conditions more ben- eficial. Officials of this corporation have been interested and active in flying for many years. The fact that this corporation will provide for air- plane service, if granted a 5 -year lease, should benefit our city. In case a bond were filed by the Corporation, guaranteeing to comply with all conditions of the contract, it might require considerable time to eliminate any provisions that were not entirely agreed upon. On the other hand, if the entire agree- ment were not compiled with by the Corporation, the Council could quick- ly correct any defects by cancelling the contract. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved to refer the communication of City Manager Evans to the City Council to meet at the earliest possible date. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz.

Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None. August 21st, 1936. Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On August 14th, 1936, there was presented to the City Council, a request from Mr.. Carl C. Krakow to reduce the assessment on his property, including lots 29 and one half of lot 30 of Finley Home Addition, located on West 3rd Street, south of Finley Hospital. As basis of request was due to objections in regard to the pastur- ing of sheep, the burning of ashes and the odors, etc., from the Fin- ley Hospital, this question was re- ferred to the City Manager for an Investigation and report. In regard to the keeping of sheep within the city, it is quoted from Article 2—Section 4 of the Dubuque Zoning Ordinance: "The keeping of sheep,, rabbits, goats, or cattle is prohibited except on premises con- taining over one acre, and except within an inclosure distance of at least fifty feet from any side lot line or any street line." Mr. Fred Lattner, of Finley Hos- pital, was contacted in regard to this question and it is known in the past that the sheep were practically graz- ing and standing on the entire pro- perty within but a few feet from the alley north of Mr. Carl C. Kra- kow's lot. Now Mr. Lattner has been advised and has agreed to move this fence at least fifty feet north of the north side of this alley. The Finley Hos- pital property contains approximate- lY four acres of land, and in ac- cordance with the ordinance they are entitled to use sheep in any case where property used for graz- ing is over one acre. Mr. Lattner advised that it is necessary to keep the sheep at or near the hospital as they are used for laboratory pur. poses. In regard to the other complaints, It has been determined that the manure from the sheep is now to be collected at least twice a week, and the manure is to be stored in a can, and spread on the garden of the hospital. The hospital officials have now agreed to use shavings or straw in the barn for bedding of the sheep. This will also be changed often and will not become dirty. No rags or cotton are to be, burned in the open, and we are advised that In the recent periods, at least, all such materials have been disposed of in the incinerator located south of the hospital. In regard to the serious complaint of the burning of cinders on the hos- pital land, we have discovered that this summer and in past periods, for weeks at a time, these cinders have been burning and smoking. We have advised Mr. Lattner that if the cinders are burning at any time, the officials of the hospital are to elim- inate the fire, or they are to call the City Fire Department or they are to provide chemicals to prohibit burning in accordance with the agreements that have been now pro- vided, for the betterment of the coin - Plaints of the people living on Nest 3rd Street. It would now seem that very little interference would result in the using of the West 3rd St. properties. In case the present outline of changes and improvements are not efficient and satisfactory, we shall have to contact the Finley Hospital officials for even greater coopera- tion. Respectfully submitted. R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the communication of City Manager Evans be received and filed. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz.

Gentlemen: A test has been made as to the dumping of dead animals, chicken feathers, and other refuse that creates odors at the area west of the East 4th St. Ball Park. Cer- tain organizations of the City were advised and stopped from damping any odorous materials there now and in the future. The City is still dumping the reg- ular ash and can service, on certain days of the week, at this location. We shall always attempt to prevent r� special Scssio n, :August 21st, 1930 207 odors. The reasons for City use of this area for our dumping is to fill up the area west of the ball park to protect the bleachers and due to the fact that this area is closer to our heavy section of rubbish col- lection and this location saves costs of hauling a mile or more in farther directions. The Health Department Inspector is instructed to eliminate any odors at this site. Respectfully submitted, R. M.. EVANS, City Manager.

Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The officials of the City Water Department are happy to advise you that the last river cross -connection to the city water supply has recently been finally eliminated. Today we received from Mr. A. H. Wieters, Director, State Department of Health at Des Moines, an agreement authorizing the City to purchase and erect the designated state water approval signs to be placed on all highways approaching the city at the various city limits. Mr. Wieters has also recommended to the U. S. Public Health Service a full certification of the Dubuque water supply for use by common carriers engaged in interstate traf- fic. This applies to railroads and will definitely help our railroad com- panies at Dubuque by granting them the right to use, our city water on coaches and trains entering• other states. The fact, that no river piping is now connected to our water mains at any industry, will certainly pro- tect, more efficiently, our citizens of Dubuque. The fear was always that, if river water were Pumped to a high pressure in any plant, the river water might enter our mains and force the lower pressured city wa- ter back farther in said mains from this plant, and a few, or many, local residents, or industries, would then have the river water discharged through their own spigots. This con- dition might have possibly created fever and other bad health results, especially in case of a fire at any Plant where the river water was available. From now on all new provisions shall be investigated and no city service will be provided in case Of any direct river connection. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the communication of City Manager Evans be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None. September 3, 1936. Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The last complete Yearly report of the City of Dubuque, as printed, was issued in May of 1924 by Mr. O. E. Carr, Since this date, no reports have been combined 215 and made available for many re, quests that are received practically each week, as to our city activities, results, finances and other condi- tions of Dubuque. An annual report should include a brief outline of activities and ac- complishments by the City Council and by each department, board, and commission of the city. In my for- mer position, as City Manager at Painesville, Ohio, a regular yearly report was made each year. Cer- tain Iowa cities are also mailing copies each year of their results and many copies are also received from cities of other states. In order to provide full informa- tion as to present conditions, as com- pared to conditions of certain prior years, and to furnish new informa- tion to financial organizations, to in- dustries considering coming to Du- buque and to many individuals in- terested in the City of Dubuque, the City Manager recommends that au- thority be made by the City Coun- cil to have a definite outline and complete statement prepared and the same to be printed and ready for distribution after the close of our 1936-37 fiscal year, which ends March 31, 1937. The size of this report, including as many pictures as possible to se- cure, would not likely exceed 60 pages. Costs of the printing of POs- sibly 300 copies would be likely from $200 to $300. In case of your authorization of this complete printed type of report, arrangements can be made in a short time as to proceedure, outlines, etc., and the entire report should be fin- ished and ready for distribution by June, 1937. Of course, the entire outline should be analyzed and ap- proved by the City Council, prior to printing, as is done in other cities. Respectfully M R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa, Gentlemen: In connection with the Ing jastt�night in regard to liscssion at the Councithe de- sired option by the Maizewood In- sulation Company for approximately a four and one-third year period, please be advised that Mr. Wm,. Kretschmem was contacted today. Mr. Kretschmer stated that the op- tion could be reduced to January 1, 1939, which is now less than two and one-third years. Accordingly, the Maizewood Insul- ation Company desires an option on city owned property, to January 1, 1939, for the west 124 feet of Lots 1 and 2 of Block B and Lot 1 or Block C; also the entire portion of Lot 2 of Block C of the Industrial subdivision, west of the Maizewood plant. The requested rate of sale for this property is at $.10 per square foot which is on the same basis as the original 1927 option for this same portion of property, of which certain land was purchased and the above mentioned sections were re- leased at the expiration date of said option. The belief is that the Maizewood Industry will increase in size. Respectfully submitted. R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the Maizewood Insulation Company be granted an option till January 1st, 1938 for the consideration of $1.00 on the above mentioned city owned property, and that the City Solicitor be instructed to prepare the proper proceedings.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On September 8th, 1936, Mr. Frank E. Smith, who lives west of Fremont Avenue, made an appeal to the City Council to es- tablish and. authorize a name for a 20 ft. wide lane on which his house and another house face. This lane is approximately parallel to and 400 ft. west of Fremont Avenue and is also about the same distance from Stetmore Street which street is still west of the lane and at the valley. Due to the fact that only one present lane, and no other street is parallel and between these two city streets, approximately 800 ft. apart, and since this is a high class area for future homes, it would seem that this lane should be named. In the future it may be necessary to widen this 20 foot lane. This lane was improved about three years ago by Federal aid and is available for many new homes now. The length of this present lane is 856 feet be- tween Dodge and St. Joseph Streets. Also south of St. Joseph Street there is a 50 foot wide unnamed street extending to Marion Street and par- allel and in line with the lane, but this street, also, should have the same name as the lane, so requested. Mr. Smith's first suggestion for the new name of the lane in front of his home includes "Wildwood Lane." Another of his suggested lane names was "Meadow". A question that is serious would be that if a new name were author- ized for a present 20 foot wide alley or lane, the new name would not be known for many years until our maps, etc., could be revised. A point that the writer wishes to state is that in certain other lane or alley parallel toa street is designed as the same name as the street. For instance, this lane could be named "Lane, West of Fremont Avenue" and then persons could realize exactly where this location would be even though available at n present. This istheoy could apply to any alley or lane in the future. The house number of the lane could be exactly similar to the number on Fremont Avenue. We desire your opinion and de cision on this question to help Mr. Smith and his neighbor as quickly as possible. RespectfulMb R EVANS, City Manager.

The special assess- ment on these three lots was for the Burlington Street Sanitary Sew- er project, No. 910, levied on April 6, 1931. The assessment principal on each of these three lots, viz. 32, 33, and 62, was $95.67 per lot, or a total principal of $287.01. None of the principal has yet been paid on this assessment. On ADril 6. 19'16. Mr. Hole advi,:ad In his letter, that if no reduction were made at least on his two va- cant lots, he would be required and forced to default said two vacant lot payments and revert the same to the city. About two months later the writer went to his home and discussed the question with him and with Mrs. Holz. This family is in serious debt condition due to injur- ies to the husband and severe sick- ness of Mrs. Holz in recent years. No possible condition could be prom- ised by them at that time to make any payments on delinquent taxes or assessments.. On September 9, 1936, Mr. John P. Trausch, the employer of Mr. Holz, came to the City Hall and made the following promise: "That Mr. Trausch would agree to advance cash and pay to the County Treasurer, when authority from the City Council, 100%a of the principal of the special assessments of these two vacant and one home lots, in the amount of $287.01. He stated that due to the low value of the two vacant lots, due to the large amount of debts owed by this family and absolute inability of the fam- ily themselves, now, to pay these special assessments, that no interest or penalty would be paid on his agreement to assist this family at this time." In case the City Council will agree to accept this total principal of these three separate lots and elim. inate the interest and penalty on said lots, Mr. Trausch will shortly submit the $287.01 to the County Treasurer, if authorized. I assure available Possible ou that this is t sible condition, to date, to secure even this principal of the assessments on these three lots. In connection with delinquent tax. es owed by Mr. Holz on these three lots the following statement is on the basis of levies for three years, Including. Levy in 1933 year for 1934—$22.93. Levy in 1934 year for 1935— 20.56. Levy in 1935 year for 1936— 21.19. Total Tax Levies=$64 68 No mention of paying delinquent taxes has been yet made. It is esti- mated that no condition ran be auth. orized by the change in City Council for any these regular tax pay- ments, including delinquent penal. ties. Respectfully submitted, R. M.

N. Cooley's Sub., Lot 3. This project was levied on December 14, 1931. The entire principal on this levy was $203.95. Mrs. Leiser now offers to Pay the principal, equal to $203.95, plus $25.00 for interest which is slightly less than 50% of the total interest thus far. Mrs. Leiser states that this is the only Possible amount that can be paid at this time to eliminate this assess- ment, interest and penalty. Prior to this time no possible chance has been available to pay this assess- ment, The writer suggests serious con- sideration toward receiving this total amount of assessment on the basis of an additional $25.00 which is a Portion of the interest thus far.

Gentlemen: An appeal was made September 14th by Mr. Frank Fury, who lives at 2508 Lincoln Avenue, to be permitted to pay the principal, only, on the sanitary sewer project No. 510 in Eagle Point District. This levy was made on April 7, 1924.

Mr. Fury is badly crippled with sciatic rheumatism and is unable to work. He cannot pay any in- terest or penalty on this, but he hopes that if the authorization is made by the Council to permit him to pay the principal, only, on these still unpaid assessments, he will be able to pay the same by December 15, 1936.

Gentlemen: On July 7, 1936 the petition of Mary Cleaves requesting that the Zoning Map be amended in order that her property located on the southwest corner of Fifth and Locust Streets be rezoned to a busi- ness district was referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their recommendation. After con- siderable discussion it was decided by the Planning and Zoning Com- mission that as Mary Cleaves is the only person requesting the change, and as no apparent endeavor has been made to interest or develop sentiment in the section affected by the proposed change to advise the City Council that the matter be dropped until such time that there should develop a more wide -spread desire for the change to business district by the residents in the area affected by the proposed change. Respectfully submitted, R. V. McKAY, Secretary, Planning and Zoning Com. Councilman Bennett moved that the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission be approved.

Mr. Galligan had been in Kansas attending a Water Conference and returned to Ames October 28. Our wire included a re- quest for him to come to Dubuque to outline a general plan for the analysis of the Mississippi River water, above and below our sewage discharge locations. The aim of this Proper and modern system of tests is to secure definite information, pri- or to the completion of any dam and lock below Dubuque, so that after our river rate of flow is reduced from 31/2 miles to 'A mile per hour, that all possible provisions shall be available to eliminate any necessity to provide a Sewage Disposal Plant at the City's expense. lir. Galligan arrived in Dubuque Friday evening and spent Saturday morning in viewing the river loca- tions and outlining a set of tests to be under his control. Said tests shall be made by the Engineering Department and local Milk Inspector. This study consists of— (a) Determining the capacity of the Mississippi River for disposal of sewage from the City of Dubuque at several various river stages. (b) To ascertain the polutional load discharged by this City. Regular Sess"', X""v-ember 2nd, 1936 (c) To determine what effect the polutional load has upon the river, as said river flows south from our area, and where the polution ends by natural river action on sewage. Mr. W. E. Galligan outlines a set of extra costs for two years, as fol- lows: (a) Chemicals and equipment required .......... _ ......................$375.00 (b) Consulting Engineering Fees........................................... 350.00 Estimated total for 2 years $725.00 Certain of the above mentioned equipment will be of great advantage to the local Health Department in laboratory operation for other than the river tests. Now in milk testing certain use of equipment has to be made at local dairies. It is suggested that authorization be made by the City Council to em- ploy Mr. W. E. Galligan, as a con- sultant, for two years in his total fee of $350.00 for complete deter- mination of this condition and also that such equipment and chemicals, as he suggests, be provided as needed. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bane moved that ac- tion be taken for the employment of Mr. W. E. Galligan as Consulting Engineer for a period of two years for the amount of $350.00. Second- ed by Councilman Schiltz.

Ing of the City Council held Satur- day, November 7th, information was submitted in regard to the necessity for immediately providing a room for the new Clinic for treatment of venereal diseases. The City Council viewed the small room, listed as "Recreational Di- rector," just southeast of the main room of the Administration Depart- ment on the second floor and also the east portion of the east room now used by the Police Department for temporarily jailing boys in the Matron's quarters in the second floor. The decision of the Council on November 7th was that the best location for the clinic would be by using the approximately east 9 ft. width of the present large boys' jail room; that a wall should be erect- ed from the floor to the ceiling; that in the clinic room a new heat - Ing radiator, new water sink, new gas pipe and burner, new electric light, etc., should be provided. Mr. Henry Schuckert advised the writer on November 10th, 1936, that on Monday, November 9th, the Su- pervisors again appointed Dr. Strib- ley as the physician to control the clinic; that the room at the City Hall should be quickly prepared for this service; that the clinic would be open only on Saturday afternoon and also in the evening of either Tuesday or Wednesday of each week. He also advised that the Clinic is to start Saturday of this week. However, today estimates have been received and to include the new wall, replacement of the steel on the new wall, new radiator, new light- ing, new water sink and new gas connection and stove, it is deter- mined that the costs will be at least $250.00 to $300.00. Again a report was made today from the Police Department that the necessary number of boys could not be jailed, as in the past, in a small room with only one window and no emergency door in case of fire. It is feared that the yearly inspection of the Police quarters would result in condemnation of this room for Jailing boys in case the same were made smaller and less safe than at present. It is the writer's recommendation that the authority of the Council on November 7th to use part of the Boys' Jail room for the Clinic be, at least, temporarily denied. We can use the small room, designated S Session, November 10th, 1936 as "Recreational Director," tempor- arily, and can get sufficient equip- ment, etc., by Saturday of this week to provide at least a temporary room for this Clinic operation at very lit. tle cost. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the recommendation of City Manag. er Evans be approved. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Dane. November 9, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The City Council on November 7th considered the request filed on June 30th for the erection and operation of a new "Stop and Go" signal at Central Avenue and 22nd Street, as filed by Geo. Bock, et al. The decision of the Council (m November 7th was that no funds were at present available fol such an additional signal system. Ac- cordingly, the petition was denied. However, instructions were, given to the Street Department to provide a new Stop sign on both sides of Central Avenue, north and south of 22nd Street and instructions to the Police Department to enforce stop- ping of all traffic approaching this intersection from all four directions. This type of traffic stopping for pro- tection is authorized and enforced in many other larger cities than Dubuque. Curbs shall be painted 15 feet along Central Avenue from each new Stop sign so that park- ing of cars will not interfere with drivers seeing these new Stop signs. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to refer the matter to the City Solicitor for his recommendation as to the best way of handling this traffic. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilman Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Kane. November 9, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On April 13th a very large petition was filed with the City Council requesting that a "Stop and Go" signal system be purchased, in - 237 stalled and operated by the City at 8th Street and Central Avenue. This was signed by J. L. Meyers and many other citizens. Tile City Council OIL November f 7thwas that no funds were at present available for this additional signal system. According. 1Y, the petition was denied. Instructions were given in connec- tion with this particular intersection that the Street Department shall provide and erect a Stop sign on Central Avenue north and south of 8th Street and instructions were sub- mitted to the Police Department to enforce stopping of all traflic ap- proaching the intersection of 8th Street and Central Avenue from all four directions. This similar type of Providing all stopping, rather than fast driving on one street at a busy intersection, is used by many oth- er larger cities. The curbs shall be painted along Central Avenue for 15 feet beyond each new stop sign so that parking will not interfere with drivers seeing these new stop signs. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to re- fer the matter to the City Solicitor for his recommendation as to the best way of handling this traffic. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

Gentlemen: The City Council members viewed Julien Avenue near 1530 on November 7th in regard to a second request for a new street light at this location, which second petition was filed on September 8th by Mr. J. V. Weber, et al. At present there is a 600 C. P. overhead light at Julien Avenue and Stewart Street; east from this light nearly 575 feet there is an- other 400 C. P. overhead light at Julien Avenue and Wood Street; al- so on Nowata Street, north from Julien Avenue, there is another 400 C. P. overhead light about 250 feet from the center of Julien Avenue. The present house on Lot 2 of Pine- hurst's Sub., located at the north- east corner of Julien Avenue and Nowata Street, blocks any lighting from the Nowata Street present 400 C. P. unit to the alley area. The hazard on Julien Avenue is clue to an alley that enters Julien 288 Special Session, November 10th, 1936 Avenue on the south side about half- way between Stewart and Wood Streets. The decision of the City Council on November 7th was that a new 250 C.. P. overhead light, costing $35.00 per year, was to be installed on a pole on Julien Avenue between this alley and Nowata Street. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: On June 30th a let- ter was submitted to the Council by the writer in regard to a re- quest made on June 22nd by Mr. Isaac Wyburn of 110 Southern Av- enue for the right to purchase from the City of Dubuque two small lots, including 9 and 10 of Randall's Sub. No. 2, on Southern Avenue for the sum of $100.00 cash for the lots. This question was referred to the Council to view the lots. On November 7th the City Council did view these lots on the south side of Southern Avenue west of Valley Street. The lots are very short. Ad- vice was then read that both of these lots were taken over by the City in 1927 from the Nagle Estate because of delinquent sewer assessments which were not paid and which to- talled $201.60 on both lots. On November 7th the decision of the Council was to sell Lots 9 and 10 on Southern Avenue for the sum of $100.00. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Kane. November 9, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On November 2nd our Solicitor, Mr. Czizek, presented a request from Mr. B. Welp of Southern Avenue to secure from the City of Dubuque the right to use a triangular area 10' x 10' south of Lot 2 on property owned by the City north of the Cascade Road. The City Manager was instructed to visit Mr.. Welp and obtain an off- er as desired by Mr. Welp. Accord- ingly, on November 5th Mr. Welp made the statement that about two years ago he paid to the City $25.00 for a 10'x 10' triangular area south of Lot 1 and now he would offer another $25.00 for this same area south of Lot 2. On November 7th the City Council viewed this site and the decision at that time was to accept the $25.00 for said 10'x 10' triangular area south of Lot 2 and that a proper deed was to be prepared and sub- mitted to Mr. Welp after the $25.00 was paid. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the decision of the City Council be con- firmed. Seconded by Councilman Bennett. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Iiane. November 9, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: An appeal from Alrs. Anna M. Theis was received by the Council on April 21st, 1936, to can- cel the special assessments for the construction of the West Dubuque Sanitary Sewer, Fund No. 903, on Lots 14, 15, 16 and 17 in Sister's Add. This question was referred to the Council to view the site. On November 7th the City Council did view these lots. The Counc-a knew that recent ap- peals had been authorized by this owner to pay these delinquent prin- cipals on the basis of 5% interest rather than 9% penalty. According- ly, after viewing these lots and real- izing that the same lots were valu- able and close to the highest rated areas of the City and the partial amounts of the assessments were still due to the City, the decision of the City Council on November 7th was to deny the appeal of can- cellation of these special assess- ments levied on Lots 14, 15, 16 and 17 Sister's Add. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved to re- ceive and file the petition of Anna M. Theis. Seconded by Councilman tial Session, '!�ovcnlhcr 10th, 1936 Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Kane. November 9, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. On October 5th a letter was sub- mitted to the Council by the writer in regard to a request made Sep- tember 24th, 1936, by Mr. Marmis of the Marmis & Solomon Iron & Steel Salvage Company, which com- pany is now located at 75 South Locust Street, as to whether or not the City Council would determine to sell to Marmis & Solomon a por- tion of Subs. 2 and 4 of Block "D" of the City Industrial Sub. This matter was referred to the Council to view the site. On November 7th, 1936, four mem- hers of the City Council did view this area. It was determined that the requested location was south of the three small lots recently sold to the Flynn Oil Company; that only 100 feet of the land along Locust Street was desired and that said de- sired area would reach to Harrison Street. The decision of the City Council on November 7th was not to sell such a small area of this large industrial land as likely some large industry might, in the near future, desire a much larger area of land. Accordingly, this petition of Mr. Marmis was denied. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Kane. November 9, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On November 7th the City Council viewed the site of the request, as submitted on September 8th, 1936, by Mr. Frank E. Smith, to name the alley west of Fremont Avenue between Dodge and Marion Streets. This alley is approximately 800 feet long and is 20 feet wide. Due to the fact that nearly 400 feet of land is both east and west of this alley, between Fremont Avenue and Stetmore Street, and no other al- leys are included between these 289 streets except this one alley, it was apparent to the Council that since also houses were at present facing this unnamed alley, the same should be now named. Accordingly, the names were considered by the Coun. oil and the decision on November 7th by tine Council was that this 20 foot wide alley was to be named "Meadow Lane," also that the 50 foot width of an unnamed street, extending south of this alley and lying between St. Joseph and Marion Streets, was also to be named as "Meadow Lane." Authorization was made to pro- vide and erect signs on this alley and street at intersections of Dodge, St. Joseph and Marion Streets and maps shall be corrected as quickly as is possible regarding this new name. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed and referred to the City Solicitor to prepare the proper or- dinance. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Kane. Councilman Bennett excused from the Council meeting at 5:30 P. M. November 9, 1936. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A petition from the City Recreation Commission was submitted to the City Council on September 14th, 1936, for the right to use more parts of Rafferty Slough for a definite period of years for recreation activities. This was re- ferred to the Council to view the area. On November 7th Mr. Carl Grabow accompanied the City Council to this area. Mr. Grabow advised that a request was constantly being made to the Recreation Department to provide new tennis courts and a shelter house and also to keep the present ball ground in proper use at this portion of the city. Mr. Grabow made a request to be able to use land, including the entire Block "F," which is now partially used for ball gannes, and also to be able to improve and use, in addition, Sub. 1 and 4 of Block "E" and also Camp Street from Locust to Har- rison Streets for the new tennis courts and shelter house. A serious question arose with the Council as to whether any definite 290 Special Session, November 10th, 1936 period could be authorized for use of this land, which land was pur- chased and improved by a bond is- sue on the basis of selling said pro- perty to industrial owners at such time as a request was made to the Council and the same was approved and authorized for sale. The only decision, as made by the Council on November 7th, was that at this time the Recreation Commis- sion could improve the above men- tioned areas and could use the same until a definite provision would arise to sell said areas to new industries. However, all W. P. A. projects for improvements are based on the condition that, if the U. S. Govern- ment spends certain funds for tennis courts, etc., said land must be avail- able for this use for a period of at least ten years after completion of the project.. Apparently there is still a question to be determined by the Council in regard to whether a definite period for use of this land can be author- ized. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to refer the matter back to the City Council. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

Diehl et al, to improve the unsafe con- ditions of street lighting on Melrose Terrace between Alpine and Pau- lina Streets, was viewed and con- sidered by the City Council on No- vember 7th, 1936. Melrose Terrace is approximately 630 feet long. Present street lights include one 600 C. P. light about 150 feet east of Alpine Street and one 600 C. P. light at the intersec- tion of Paulina Street. Those two lights are about 500 ft. apart. The heavy trees near the middle of this street block proper lighting on the sidewalks. Thefts have resulted in homes on this street in this last summer and various violations have resulted by persons parked in cars on this street. Again no present street light is installed at the in- tersection of Melrose Terrace and Alpine Street. The Alpine Street lights at West Third and West 5th Streets are approximately 680 feet apart. The decision of the City Council on November 7th was that the present 600 C. P. light on Melrose Terrace, about 150 feet east of Al- pine Street, was to be removed and that the present 600 C. P. light at the intersection of Melrose Terrace and Paulina Street was also to be removed. In order to provide bet- ter lighting service, three new 250 C. P. overhead lights were to be in- stalled, including: (a) 1 new 250 C. P. light at the intersection of Alpine Street and Melrose Terrace. (b) 1 new 250 C. P. light at the intersection of Melrose Terrace and Paulina Street. (c) 1 new 250 C. P. light on Mel- rose Terrace approximately half -way between Alpine Street and Paulina Street. Present total cost of the two 600 C. P. lights is $100.00 per year. The new cost of the authorized new three 250 C. P. lights will be $105.00, total Changes of location and type of lights are under the Interstate Pow- er Company's agreement and will be performed at the cost of said Power Co.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On November 7th, 1936, the City Council viewed the location of Alta Vista and Harvard Streets when on August 14th, 1936, an appeal had been made by Paul H. Bardill, et al, for a new street light to be installed. Present lights in this vicinity in- clude: 1-600 C. P. overhead light at Alta Vista Street and Julien Avenue. 1-600 C. P. overhead light at Alta Vista Street and Carlotta Street. 1-600 C. P. overhead light at the angle of Alta Vista Street about 100 feet north of West Fifth Street. 1-600 C. P. overhead light at Ox- ford and Harvard. The outline of the petition and the general analysis of the reported trouble of insufficient lighting is due to there being no light on the south Special Session, November 10th, 1936 portion of Harvard Street at -both the angle in said Harvard Street, which is about 350 feet south of the light on Harvard and Oxford Streets and also at the intersection of Har- vard and Alta Vista Streets still 125 feet south of the Harvard Street angle. The decision of the City Council on November 7th was that one new 250 C. P. overhead light was author- ized to be, installed at the Harvard Street angle. This new light will protect pedestrians and traffic at this angle, near large trees, 'Mad will also be within 125 feet to 150 feet of the intersection of Harvard and Alta Vista Streets.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A question was refer- red to the City Council on November 7th by Mr. Peter Schiltz, Council- man, including a request from Mr. Louis Oberhoffer, owner of a house and lot at 911 High Bluff Street, to extend the city wall on the east side of High Bluff Street. About five years ago a concrete wall was erected by the city north of the area, east of Mr. Oberhoffer's home, to protect High Bluff Street. The wall was not built west of Mr. Ober- hoffer's house due to the condition that his house extended as far west as the city line of High Bluff Street. This house had been previously pro- tected by a stone wall near this street. Now the owner is objecting to sur- face water entering his first floor which is approximately 10 feet be- low the level of High Bluff Street. He agrees to remove the portion of his home next to this street so that a wall of approximately 13 feet in length can be installed to protect both High Bluff Street and his home. The decision of the- City Council on November 7th was that due to they cold weather now coming, at pre- sent no improvement could be pro- perly made, but next spring, after the home was partially removed by the owner and the necessary lumber 291 was Provided by the owner, that then the City should erect the wall forms and furnish and place the ad- ditional 13 feet plus length of con- crete wall.

Lot 136, 1/10 of prin- cipal=$24.40 due 3/31/33 and the last 1/10 of principal=$24.40 due 3/31/34, or a total principal as delinquent= $48.80. The first appeal was made prior to September 14th at which date the City Council authorized the pay- ment of this delinquent principal. on 294 Special Session, P the basis of 5%n interest. Today's appeal from the husband of this lady is that since the Council has author- ized the payment of the principal, only, on other similar assessments that have been levied more than ten years ago, that authority be made to provide for the paying of this total principal, including also the advertising costs at the Court House, with the elimination of the former agreed 5% interest. Mr. McDermott will pay by No- vember 15, 1936. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS,. City Manager.

Elfmann, who lives at 1096 Locust Street, Dubuque, in regard to a delinquent special assess- ment on property owned by Mr. John Olinger, now deceased. This prop- erty is listed as City Lot N. 1/4 of 443, including Fund No. 879 for pav- ing of Central Avenue. Delinquency on this particular lot includes 1/10 of principal=$42.20 due 3/31/35 and another similar amount due a year later, or 'a total of $84.40 of special assessment principal due to March 31, 1936. The appeal by Mrs. Elfmann is that the Council authorize the pay- ment of this delinquent principal, as due up to March 31, 1936, by paying the $84.40, plus 5% interest, rather than the 9% penalty. This particular project was levied on De- cember 6, 1929. Agreement is also made to pay any advertising costs at the Court House that may have resulted and an attempt will be made to pay this before November 15, 1936. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the request be granted and the County Treasurer to be instructed accord- ingly.. Seconded by Councilman Chalmers.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On November 4th Mrs. Helen L. Elfmann, of 1096 Lo- cust Street, made a request for a revision on the decision of the Coun- cil on a special assessment payment. On September 21, 1936, request had been made by Mrs. Elfmann in connection with Fund No. 927 for the paving of Locust Street, part of City Lots 159 and 160. The re- quest at that particular time was to pay the 1/10 of. principal equal to $41.08 which was listed at that time as due March 31, 1936. This particular assessment was levied De- cember 14, 1931 and the request was to pay the principal due on the basis of 5% interest and pay the advertis- ing costs at the Court House. This was approved and authorized by the Council. However, when an attempt was made to pay this at the Court House, the County officials advised that there were three delinquent in- stallments of principal due. This was checked at the City Hall and it was discovered that $41.08, which is 1/10 of principal, was due March 31, 1934, and the same amount was due in each of the following two years, or a total of principal due to March 31, 1936=$124.24. Now Mrs. Elfmann requests that authority be granted by the Council so that she can pay this delinquent principal, which is three times as much as the authority was granted for before, on the basis of 5% in- terest and advertising costs at the Court House. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Schiltz moved that the request be granted and the County Treasurer to be instructed according- ly. Seconded by Councilman Chalm- ers.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In August, 1936, the manager of the Maizewood Insula- tion Co., Mr. H. A. Hauptli, made a request to the City Council for additional street lighting service at ial Session, November 10th, 1936 295 his plant. This matter was refer- red to the writer to see where and why additional street lights were desired. Last week I met with Mr. Hauptli and he advised that a new street light was desired at the south- west corner of his plant at Salina and Camp Streets about 450 fest south of the 400 C. P. liglit installed early in 1936 and also that another light was needed at the southwest corner of the same plant at Camp and Harrison Streets, which loca- tion would be about 400 feet west of Salina Street. Mr. Hauptli de- sires street lights at the east and west corner of the single block of Camp Street, which city street was recently surfaced and made available for delivery of large loads of corn stalks now stored at the southwest side of the plant. Mr. Hauptli also stated that these additional lights were needed to prevent thefts from parked cars in evenings and also to protect materials stored outside of his building. In case the Council will approve of these two new lights, it is sug- gested that inasmuch as two new lights will be not over 400 feet and 450 feet apart, that the- type of two new lights be each 250 C. P. over- head lights costing $35.00 each, per year. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On October 5th the City Council heard Mrs. Magd. Pier Millin discuss a question of special assessments levied on a lot owned by her, including Sub. Lot 23 of Out Lot 710, said lot being located north of Quigley Lane and being the last lot facing the east end of said Quigley Lane. This question was referred to the City Engineer and City Manager for an investigation and report. Accord- ingly, on November 6th Mrs. Millin agreed and went to this location with Messrs. Cullen and Evans. This Lot 23 of Out Lot 710 is 85 feet wide along the north side of Quigley Lane. The depth of said lot varies from 36 feet on they east to 78 feet on the west side. This lot slopes down very rapidly from Quigley Lane to- ward West Locust Street. The special assessments on Lot 23, as assessed to Mrs. Millin, have nev- er been paid in any amount. These assessments include: (1) Fund No. 897 for sanitary sewer, levied 11/28/30, including or- iginal principal of levy=$78.03.. (2) Fund No. 900 for paving of Quigley Lane, levied 12/22/30, in- cluding original principal of levy= $168.51. Apparently no complaint was filed by Mrs. Millin in regard to the sew- er assessment. However, an appeal was made on March 3, 1930, by Mrs. :\bilin to not pave Quigley Lane as the paving would be of no value to her lot at the end of the street and that no outlet east of her lot could be provided. She further stat- ed that her lot valuation of 1930 (25%) was $45.00. No decision was made by the Council in 1930 to re- duce said assessments on this lot. On November 6th, 1936, Mrs. Mil- lin said she had been paying taxes on this steep lot for years but that she is now determined not to try to secure a reduction in the city spe- cial assessments. She stated that we were to advise the City Council that she intended to allow the City or County to take over this lot for delinquent special assessments and no attempt would be made by her to later secure the same. This question was mentioned to four of the City Council members November 7th and these members viewed this lot. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to receive and file the request. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Chalmers and Schiltz. Nays—None.

Whereas, on or about January 23, 1934, the City of Dubuque was given authority by the State Comptroller of Iowa to make a temporary trans- fer of $75,000.00 from the Bond Sink- ing Fund to the Consolidated and Fire Maintenance Funds of said city, of which amount $55,000.00 was transferred to the Consolidated Fund and $20,000.00 to the Fire Mainten- ance Fund; and Whereas, in April, 1936, there was repaid to said Bond Sinking Fund by the Consolidated Fund the sum of $13,750.00 and by the Fire Mainten- ance Fund the sum of $5,000.00, mak. Ing a total of $18,750.00 or an amount equal to 25% of the sum so transferred, leaving a balance un- paid amounting to $56,250.00, of which $41,250.00 is owing by the Consolidated Fund and $15,000.00 by the Fire Maintenance Fund; and Whereas, the tax levy for the fis- cal year 1936-7 for the Consolidated Fund was estimated to produce the sum of $231,668.00, all of which has been appropriated for the uses and purposes of said fund; and Whereas, the tax levy for the fis- cal year 1936-7 for the Fire Mainten- ance Fund was estimated to produce the sum of $100,659.00, all of which has been appropriated for the uses and purposes of said fund; and Whereas, due to the failure in the collection 'of taxes, each of said funds will suffer 'a shortage of at least 10%, resulting in a deficiency in estimated receipts under estim- ated expenditures in the Consol- idated Fund of $23,166.00, and in the Fire Maintenance Fund of $10,065.00; and Whereas, said deficiency, when added to the repayments made to the Bond Sinking Fund by said Con- solidated and Fire Maintenance Funds, as stated, will cause a gross shortage to excess in said Consol- idated Fund of $36,916.00 and in said Fire Maintenance Fund of $15,065.00; and Whereas, it appears impossible to return to the Bond Sinking Fund during this fiscal year the sum of $41,250.00, the amount owing said fund by the Consoidated Fund which, if required, would result in a gross shortage therein of $78,165.- 00, and which the Consolidated Fund will not stand if the departments of said city are to function the remain- der of this fiscal year; and Whereas, it appears impossible to return to the Bond Sinking Fund during this fiscal year the sum of $15,000.00, the am.ount owing said fund by the Fire Maintenance Fund which, if required, will result in a Special Session, November 10th, 1936 297 gross shortage therein of $30,065.00, and which the Fire Maintenance Fund will not stand if the Fire De- partment of said city pis to function the remainder of the fiscal year; and Whereas, the Bond Sinking Fund from which such transfer was made was created specifically for the pur- pose of paying off old 4% Refund- ing Bonds of said city in January and February, 1937; and Whereas, such Refunding Bonds will be paid when due partly from cash in the Bond Sinking Fund and partly through the issuance of other bonds, and, thereupon, such Sinking Fund will be in existence no longer after February 1, 1937; and Whereas, to suspend the operation of the several departments of the City of Dubuque, including the Pol- ice, Fire and Health Departments for a part of the fiscal year 1936-7 would be disastrous to the public health, life and property and inure to the detriment of all of the people in said city; and Whereas, it is deemed necessary and adN,isable, in view of the fore- going statement of the financial con- dition of the Consolidated and Fire Maintenance Funds, the impossibil- ity of using money from such funds to repay the temporary transfer to the Bond Sinking Fund before Feb- ruary 1, 1937, or before the end of this fiscal year, and that said Bond Sinking Fund will cease to exist on and after February 1, 1937, and the detriment to result to public health, life and property of the people of said city, to make application to the State Comptroller of Iowa for an order declaring the temporary trans- fer of funds heretofore made a per- manent transfer: Now, Therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Du- buque that the State Comptroller of Iowa, be and he is hereby petitioned and requested to enter an order de- claring the temporary transfer of $56,250.00 (the balance remaining un- paid) from the -Bond Sinking Fund to the Consolidated and Fire Main- tenance Funds permanent, thereby relieving the City of Dubuque from repaying said sums from the Con- solidated and Fire Maintenance Funds to the Bond Sinking Fund.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Questions have arisen on three of the separate buildings that the Council on November 10th determined to submit to the Com- mittee for investigation. Attached is an outline of repairs and elimination of certain of the upper story of the former school building owned by the Sisters of the Holy Ghost at St. Ambrose and Rosedale Streets. This provision of making the building safe was start. ed one year ago and now a contract has been submitted for the repairs and the plan to make the building safe and to possibly, in the future, use the same part of the building for a new construction for definite use as a school. It is suggested that this building be NOT condemned at Present. Two other cases are included in a letter from Mr. Bartels, stating that the owner, Agnes McDonald, has made an application to the Building Commissioner for repairs, painting and complete improvement of the two small houses on Locust Street at No. 47, as was submitted to the Council, and No. 45, which the Coun- cilmen themselves determined to al- so include.

Gentlemen: License Ordinance No. 4-33 lists the following under the heading of Shooting Galleries: "SHOOTING GALLERY LICENSE The license for Shooting Gal- leries shall be $2.00 per day, $5.00 per week, $10.00 per month." Under date of October 25th Rob- ert D. Barton secured a license for one month to operate a shooting gal- lery at 429 Main Street. Today Mr. Barton called at my office and stated that he contemplated operating the above business during the entire winter, possibly for a year. He stated that he considered the pay. ment of a $10.00 per month license to be excessive for that particular class of business. I note that practically all classes of businesses licensed under our or- dinance provides that a yearly lic- ense may be obtained. I therefore recommend that the ordinance be amended by adding a yearly license fee of $50.00 for operating a shoot- ing gallery. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, Gity Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to refer the communication of City Manager Evans to the City Solicitor to prepare the proper ordinance to conform with the recommendation Of City Manager Evans.

Kindly note that the extension of this general condition, whereby indi- viduals do not have to make an ap- peal to the Council, is to November I Special Session, November 30th, 1936 301 30th, 1936. It was planned originally to try to outline this condition up to December 15th but the Court House officials advised the writer this afternoon that they would pre- fer to have it only until November 30th and that if after November 30th this condition could still be author- ized, the City Council could make an additional statement as to when pay- ments could be made on the elimin- ation of certain penalties and in- terest to a certain definite period. It is suggested that this be filed In the Council records inasmuch as the members of the Council infor- mally approved the same. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: In connection with the extension of time for special assessments to be paid at the Court House, the writer suggests that the Council consider and authorize, if possible, an extension from Novem- ber 30, 1936, to December 16, 1936, for the right of property owners to pay delinquent special assessments on the general conditions of paying principal, only, and advertising costs on delinquent special assessments on Funds 34.1 to 726, inclusive, which were levied prior to November 1, 1926. Also on other funds- levied after November 1, 1926, that delin- quent special assessments can be Paid on the basis of the amounts due to March 31, 1936, plus 5% in- terest per year on the total assess- ment principal not paid as yet, plus advertising costs at the Court House. Information is received today from the Treasurer's office that the Coun- ty Treasurer would agree to an ex- tension of this same condition to and including December 16, 1936. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Evans be approved and the County Treasurer to be instructed accordingly.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On November 9th the writer submitted a letter to the City Council in regard to the decision, as made by the Council on Novem- ber 7th, to purchase a small tri- angle on Lot 13 at the corner of Hill Street and South Grandview Avenue owned by Eldo and Mabel Block. This is to advise that an error occurred in the letter dated Novem- ber 9th due to the fact that four years of delinquent assessments were outlined and now the County officials have determined that five years were delinquent, or, in other words, the delinquent principal, in- stead of being $168.80 on Fund 874, Paving of Hill Stret, is now $211.00. This question was taken up today with the Gity Solicitor and it was his opinion that a check should be issued for the delinquent principal _ $211.00 and also for the penalty and interest charged at the Court House = $141.30. The total of these two sums will be returned to the City because of the scavenger sale elimination on this property for both special assessments and taxes that were delinquent. It is our under- standing that this $352.30 is to be taken from the Consolidated Fund and accordingly we have charged the same to the city improvements. The reason for this error of $42.20 was due to the fact that the city records showed five years of delin- quency and the Court House showed four years, but the Court House rec- ords since our analysis of special assessments was made at the first portion of this year, have now de- termined that five years' delin- quency was due. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that upon submission of a proper deed that a warrant in the amount of $352.30 be ordered drawn on the Consolidated Fund in favor of Eldo and Mabel Block for the purchase of Lot 2 of 13 of Stewart's Sub.

Gentlemen: You have requested my opinion and suggestions as to the control of vehicle traffic at the intersection of Central Avenue with East 22nd Street and at the inter- section of 8th Avenue with Central Avenue. It must be recognized at the out- set that while the city has the pow- er generally to control traffic on its streets, yet this power must be ex- ercised so as not to interfere with specific statutory enactments relat- ing to traffic. The law gives to the city the power to provide for traf- fic or crossing officers or devices, to bring about the orderly passage of vehicles and other users of public highways. But this power is limit- ed as will be shown herein. CENTRAL AVENUE AND EAST 22ND STREET Central Avenue is an arterial high- way. East 22nd Street and Kauf- mann Avenue intersect from the east and west. Tra 1c on arterial high- ways has the right of way over traf- fic on any other highway, street or alley intersecting therewith. (Sec- tion 5799132.) At intersections of streets with highways, the traffic on such streets must coma to a stop before entering upon the arterial highway. (Section 5079B3). Where two arterial highways intersect the State Highway Commission has the power to determine which traffic shall have the right of way. If, how- ever, the arterial highway is inter- sected by a boulevard or a heavy traffic street, the Council may, sub- ject to the approval of the State Highway Commission, determine that the arterial highway traffic shall come to a stop, erect stop and go signals, or adopt such other means of handling the traffic as may be deemed practical and proper. (Section 5079C1). In the absence of the approval of the Highway Com- mission, it is made unlawful for the City to erect or cause to be erected or maintained any traffic sign or sig- nal which affects traffic or arterial highways. (Section 507902). An ex• ception is made, however, in the case of stop and go signals. Any city of four thousand (4,000) or more may erect and maintain stop and go signals on arterial highways where the same are situated within a busi- ness district, without the approval of the Highway Commission. (Sec- tion 5079C3). Consequently, stop and go signals at this intersection can be installed without the approval of the Highway Commission. If any other device is used which has for its purpose the stopping of traffic on Central Avenue at this point, the approval of the Highway Commis- sion must be secured therefor. CENTRAL AVENUE AND 8TH AVENUE. Central Avenue is a boulevard, and 8th Avenue is not. The traffic on 8th Avenue must stop before entering Central Avenue. It is de- sirable that the traffic on Central Avenue and 8th Avenue come to a stop before traversing this inter- section from all directions. In order to accomplish this, the Central Ave- nue boulevard should be broken at the north line of 8th Avenue and picked up again at the south end of Sth Avenue. Then the 8th Avenue boulevard should be extended east- erly from its present terminus to the west line of White Street. It should be broken at the east line of Cen- tral Avenue and picked up again at the west line of Central Avenue. It should be broken again at the east line of Main Street and picked up again at the west line of Main Street. It should be broken again at the east line of Locust Street and picked up again at the west line of Locust Street. By doing this the 8th Avenue and Central Avenue in- tersection will be a free intersec- tion and traffic can be controlled by stop signs on the four corners. It will also take care of the Iowa Street intersection by stopping traf- fic on Iowa Street, north and south, and give the traffic on 8th Avenue the right of way. The intersections of 8th Avenue and Main Street and 8th Avenue and Locust Street will be controlled by traffic stop and go signals. To accomplish these chang- es, I have prepared an amendment to the Traffic Code, and I am sub- mitting the same herewith for adop- tion. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Bennett moved that they opinion of City Solicitor Czizek be made a matter of record. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the meeting of the City Council held November 30th the writer was instructed to investi- gate and report on the conditions in past years in regard to the sprinkler alarm systema. A letter was received from Buettell Bros. Company, dated November 18th, requesting that they be permitted to install and have operated a sprinkler alarm system at the Fire Station at 9th and Iowa Streets. They agreed that the City of Dubuque should assume no re- sponsibility in case our firemen were out of the fire station or the bell system did not operate. As per the instructions to investigate the prior actions of the Council, please be ad- vised as follows: On October 17, 1932, a previous petition was also filed by the Buet- tell Bros. Company requesting per- mission to connect and operate an alarm system at the same fire sta- tion. This appeal was not granted at this date but investigation was authorized. On February 6th a mo- tion was passed by the City Council that the City of Dubuque shall dis- continue the sprinkling alarm system at the 9th St. Fire House by July 1, 1933, and that immediately a release be secured from the present owners of these sprinkling alarm bells to eliminate any liability on the part of the City of Dubuque. Accordingly, in the months of February and March of 1933 a waiver and release of liability on the part of the City of Dubuque was signed and filed by the following property owners: Security Building Co., 8th and Main Streets. Midwest-Timmermann Co., Iowa be- tween 7th and 8th Streets. Merchants Supply Co., 7th and Iowa Streets. Catholic Printing Co., 6th and Iowa Streets. Myers -Cox Co., 4th and Iowa Streets. Rider -Wallis Co., 4th and Locust Streets. Tri-State Motor Co., 7th and Iowa Streets. These signed releases as to liabil- ity were submitted to the City Coun- cil by the writer on March 29, 1933. However, there had been instruc- tions to me after these releases had been signed to eliminate the follow- ing words in the release: "which service is to be discontinued on and after July 1, 1933." This particular Provision was eliminated in each of the separate releases. There was filed on the same date Regular Session, December 7th, 1936 311 with the City Council information received from the A. D. T. Company who objected to the City offering free service to any companies that had been served by their company. Again in the Council records of June 12, 1933, an extension of the present sprinkler alarm system at the 9th Street Station was made to January 1, 1934. Later it was the determination of the Council that the agreement, which had been made many years prior to this time with the individuals who had purchased and installed their own sprinkling alarm systems, that they could still continue after January 1, 1934, on the basis that they had filed an agreement releasing the City of Du- buque from any liability whatsoever and that no costs would be assumed by the City. In 1933, as previously mentioned, there were seven separate companies having alarm systems in the 9th Street Station. Six of the seven companies had but one bell each, while the Security Building Com- pany had, and still• has, three sep- arate bells. Approximately one year from March, 1933, the Tri-State Mo- tor Co. discontinued this alarm ser- vice and removed their equipment from the 9th Street Station. The later instructions in 1934 by the Council were that no other building owners could be authorized t-) in- stall an alarm system with -gut the approval of the City Council. At the utmost, there is no possibility of providing for more than three new separate bell systems at this station. Accordingly, the appeal from Buet- tell Bros. Company is up to the de- cision of the City Council. If this be granted, Buettell Bros. Company should sign a similar waiver and release of liability on behalf of the City of Dubuque. They should agree, as the others have, to test their belle at least once every 24 hours and to cooperate with the Fire Department in keeping their full equipment in proper condition. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of City Manager Evans be approved and that the re- quest of Buettell Bros. Company be denied.

Gentlemen: In connection with the approval by the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission of Dubuque in regard to the location and number of lots to be purchased by the local Water Department for the definite site of the Elevated Wat- er Tank at West Third Street and College Avenue, the final decision was that the tank foundation should be on Lots 23, 24 and 25 of Finley Home Addition. It was also deter- mined that Lots 22 and 21, east of the tank foundation, should be pur- chased for protectin to the tank, and, if possible, to make a small park area at this location. Actual costs of the purchase of four of these five lots, to date, in- clude: Lot Lot 25 farthest west).............$700.00 50.00 Lot23 .............................................. 600.00 Lot22 .............................................. 800.00 The one lot that has not yet been purchased is Lot 21. This area is at the northwest corner of College Avenue and West Third Street and Lot 21 extends along the west side of College Avenue. The owner is Mrs. Ella Wimmer, who lives at 428 State Street, Lockport, Illinois. Information was submitted to the City Council on June 2nd, 1936, t:y a letter from Mrs. Wimmer requeet- ing that the City purchase this Lot 21 for $1,750.00. The owner further stated that now her lot was made worthless by the erection, partly on only one lot west of her lot, of the large Water Tower. Again, at the Council in; eting of December 7th, 1936, Mra. Ella YAm- mer personally discussed this ques- tion with the Councilmen and ehe then filed a second letter off -ring to sell her Lot 21 for $1,200.00. The City Manager was instructed to investigate special assessments on these five lots, to calculate sep- arate areas of the same lots and make a report on the -,onditlons. Lot 23 Paving West 3rd Street .......... $189.21 Paving College Ave ................... 76.60 Gas Connections ........................ 8.55 Total Assessment Princi- pals, as Adjusted................$274.36 Lot 24 Paving West 3rd Street ............ $189.21 Paving College Ave ................... 36.39 Gas Connections ........................ 8.55 Total Assesment Princi- pals, as Adjusted ..............$234.15 Lot 25 Paving West 3rd Street .......... $189.21 Paving College Ave ................... 21.78 Gas Connections ........................ 8.55 Total Assessment Princi- pals, as Adjusted................$219.54 This shows that Lot 21 was as- sessed to a greater amount than Lott 22 by $215.00. Lots 22, 23, 24 and 25 are each 50 ft. wide by 120 ft. deep, including separate lot areas of 6,000 sq. ft. each. Lot 21 is 50 feet wide at West Third Street and 62 feet wide at the alley 120 feet north of West Third Street. The area of Lot 21 is approximately 6,720 sq. ft., or 12% larger than the other four lots, including Lots 22, 23, 24 and 25. On the basis of the actual recent payment for Lot 22, which cost $800.00, the following conditions are apparent for Lot 21: Size of Lot 21-112% of Lot 22 at $800.00 ........................$ 896.00 Extra Special Assessment to Lot 21, in excess of Lot 22 ............................................ 215.00 Net Comparative Value of Lot 21 on Basis of Lot 22 ........................................ $1,111.00 This outline was discussed with Mrs. Wimmer today. She said that even though special assessments and the size of her lot were figured, that the taxes for years, on her lot, had been greater than the lots west of Lot 21. Our present record of as- sessed valuation include Lot 21 at $320.00 and Lots 22, 23, 24 and 25 Special Session, December 21st, 1936 319 at $260.00 each. Lot 21is now taxed on the basis of 23% more than the four lots west thereof. In conclusion, Mrs. Ella Wimmer finally agreed to reduce her last off- er for the sale of Lot 21 from $1,200.00 to $1,150.00. She will have prepared a proper deed and abstract and she desires the approval of this purchase within two weeks. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that up- on approval of deed and abstract that the offer of Mrs. Ella Wimmer be accepted for the sale of Lot 21 of Finley Home Addition to the City Water Department for the amount of $1,150.00.

Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Attached are two copies of certain traffic records Per- taining to our City for 1936 and also for certain prior years. This infor- mation is outlined on the basis of requirements from the National Safe- ty Council. One copy includes year- ly total traffic accidents with the division of fatal, non-fatal and pro- perty damage; also deaths, as to how happened and ages of persons killed; also traffic injuries as to how happened and ages of injured. The other copy outlines total yearly traffic arrests of violations and also the convictions of said arrests. This is for the information of the City Council. It may not be neces- sary to file these reports on the Council records, as other fiscal re- ports will be made in three months, and it is now planned to publish the same in our new 1936-37 Annual Fiscal Report. Full copies are on record in my office. From a recent study of former calendar yearly Safety Council re- cords and also a ten month record of 1936, it still appears that the City of Dubuque has been in past years and still is only approximate- ly 50% as high in traffic deaths as the average of U. S. cities of popu- lation from 25,000 to 50,000. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the communication of City Manager Evans be received and filed.

Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None. January 9, 1937. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: A request was filed with the City Council on January 4th, 1937, from Mrs. Catherine Web- er, who lives at 1906 Pierce Street, asking that assistance be authorized by the Council in regard to her pay- ing a certain delinquent special as- sessment on her property. This was referred by the Council to the wri- ter for investigation and report. Accordingly, please be advised that Pierce Street from West Locust to Angella Strets was paved by the City, and the levy of said assess- ments was made on January 14th, 1929. The fund number is 804. A portion of bonds is still outstanding on certain amounts of the total un- paid assessments. 12 Special Session, January 15th, 1937 Mrs. Catherine Weber was assess- ed for Quigley's Sub. Out Lot 711, Lot 1. This lot is on the east side of Pierce Street, just north of the intersection of Quigley Lane. Said lot is 56' 4" wide along Pierce Street and the depth of the lot is 125'. Her home is erected on said lot. The assessed valuation of the lot and home in the year 1929 was list- ed at $1,300.00: At present the as- sessed valuation is $900.00. The total assessment on this lot for the paving of Pierce Street was $157.03. The first 1/10 principal was $15.72 and paid February 13th, 1929; the second 1/10 principal was $15.71 and paid March 28th, 1930; the third 1/10 principal was $15.70 and paid March 20th, 1931. Delinquent prin- cipal, not yet paid, includes $15.70 due March 31st, 1932, and also same amount in 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1936, or total to March 31st, 1936, of 5 years, equal to $78.50. Another $15.70 of principal will also be due March 31st, 1937. The total amount of principal not paid equals ($157.03—$15.72— .$15.71 $157.03—$15.72— $15.71 and $15.70) $109.90. As per the City Council's general decisions in September, October and Novem- ber of 1936, the principal due to March 31st, 1936, equal to $78.50, could be paid on the basis of ad- vertising costs, plus 5% interest per year on the total unpaid principal, including 5% of $109.91—$5.495 per year, which would be due from March 31st, 1932, to March 31st, 1936, or for 5 years, equal to $27.48, as interest. The combination of prin- cipal due to March 31st, 1936 ($78.50) and interest due to March 31st, 1936 $27.48) would equal $105.98. This could be authorized only by the decision of the Council to extend the past period authorized for the payments to be made by elimination of PENALTIES. Mrs. Weber's request was not def- inite as to her desire of authoriza- tion. She mentioned that she de- sired to pay small payments rather often, but she also stated that she was a widow and had no income. The aim of the writer was to at- tempt to completely outline this pro- ject. However, it is determined that the County Treasurer cannot accept small payments often, due to his book arrangements for not less than one year of payment at any time. Respectfully submited, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved to refer the communication of City Manager Evans back to the City Manager to confer with the City Treasurer as to whether or not a tax sale certificate has been secured against this property by the City of Dubuque. Seconded by Councilman Kane. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None. January 8, 1937. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: This is to advise you that Mr. Emil Grassel, who lives at 1005 Oak Street, redeemed from Mr. Peter Kies, County Auditor, on Octo- ber 8th, 1936, a certain area that had been in scavenger sale. The special assessment principal=$234.98 on this property as included in Fund 564 for the paving of Bryant Street, levied by the City on August 19th, 1924, and said area was originally assess- ed to Mr. J. J. Nagle. The lot was 1 of 1 of 1 of 3 of Mineral Lot 63. On December 22nd, 1936, Mr. Otto Puls received a total amount on said payment, from the County Treas- urer, equal to $377.70 and listed as Scavenger Tax Redemption Collec- tion No. 86. An appeal, dated September 14th, 1936, was presented to the City Council by Mr. Emil Grassel, as sub- mitted by the City Manager, to be able to pay the special assessment principal still due on the basis of 5% interest per year. This author- ization was approved by the Coun- cil on September 14th, 1936. An analysis of the delinquent as- sessment includes: (Eight yearly payments had been made). The ninth payment, equal to $117.49 due March 31st, 1932, and the tenth payment, equal to $117.49 due March 31st, 1933, had not been paid prior to the submission of the owner's appeal. Total principal due was $234.98. Interest on the unpaid principal, $234.98, at 5% per year from March 31st, 1931, to October 8th, 1936 (equal to 5 years, 6 months and 8 days), would amount to $64.89. The total unpaid principal due, plus the 6% yearly interest to date of pay- ment, was ($117.49+$117.49+$64.89) $299.87. Another written personal appeal was made by Mr. Emil Grassel, dated October 9th, 1936, and sub- mitted to the Council on October 26th, 1936. The second appeal was that the owner agreed to pay the en- tire delinquent principal, plus 5% interest per year on the total levied Principal amount, as not yet paid. Said second appeal requested furth- er that the penalty, as paid on Octo- ber 8th by Mr. Grassel, be refunded to him by the City. No action on October 26th, 1936, was taken by the Council.

Gentlemen: Attached is a letter from Mrs. John Biebermann request- ing that the enclosed bill, from Cur- tis -Straub Company in the amount of $176.00, be submitted to and auth- orized for the City Water Depart- ment to pay said bill. Mrs. Biebermann recently request- ed authority from the Council for her to install and operate a septic tank on her property and drain the same into Merz Street. The Council determined that in this heavy and steep rock condition that a septic tank would not be proper there as sewage would spread into private lots and onto streets. The home owned by Mrs. Bieber - mann is No. 1020 Merz Street and also Lot No. 44 of Althauser's Sub. This is located on a steep hill sec- tion, about 175 ft. east of Althauser Street. Riverview Street also ex- tends from Merz Street, just north of this Lot 44, to Eagle Street. On a portion of the north area of Eagle Street there is a sanitary sewer that provides service for three lots on Riverview Street. Accordingly, the ns a a o . sewer was nearly $1,000.00. On this new basis her cost should be great- ly reduced. The City Water Department should provide water mains along main streets, and individuals should not have to pay for water piping, except for their connections. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that the request be denied. Seconded by Councilman Chalmers. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz.

Gentlemen: During the last of De- cember, 1936, an outline was sent to the City in regard to certain Scavenger Tax and Special Assess- ments, as redeemed and paid, includ- ing checks for the same. Today Mrs. Frank Smith came to the City Hall and stated that she had to pay more on her delinquent special assess- ments than the City Council had authorized. She further requested, 14 Special Session, January 15th, 1937 if PENALTIES on these special as- wou de thehCityCouncil e charged authorl e said penalties to be refunded? If so, she would then attempt to again pay other delinquency on special assess- ments on certain other lots that she, her husband and Mrs. Anna Theis still own. On September 14, 1936, in connec- tion with the large number of ap- peals made to the City Council for the right to pay delinquent prin- cipals on the basis of 5% interest per year, WITHOUT any penalty, the appeals included all property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith and Mrs. Anna Theis, Items 9, 10 and 11 in said long letter. These various lots were only assessed for the West Dubuque Sanitary Sewer, Fund 903, levied December 22, 1930, and said bonds are still outstanding. The Council authorized all the de- linquent principals as due to March 31, 1936, to be paid on 5% interest per year without any additional pen- alty to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Theis. Original assessments on certain three paid areas were $72.83, $50.00 and $175.00 respectively. Two pay- ments of principal and interest had been made on each of said three lots, including principal = $7.28 + $5.00 + $17.50 = $29.78 in 1931 and then $7.31 + $5.00 + $17.50 = $29.81 in 1932, or a total of 2/10 of said principal paid prior to our depres- sion. Cash on principal received last month, as actually paid by the men- tioned owners, dated October 21, 1936, on the following areas in- cluded: — On E. 190 ft. Lot 14, Delin- quent Principal ........................$29.12 On N. 1/2 W. 200 ft.

Interest on the same for the total unpaid assessments at 5% Per year includes (total assessments = $297.83 — 2 yearly payments at $59.59 = net $238.24 at 5% interest per year = $11.912 per year for per- iod from March 31, 1932, to October 21, 1936 $53.93.4 years, 6 months, 10 days)The total principal due to March 31, 1936, and interest on said three lots as assessed, but not paid until October 21, 1936 = ($119.12-}-$53.93) $173.05. The total amounts received by the City on these same three lots to- talled $192.26. In conclusion, the PENALTY charged due to Scaven. ger Sale redemption was ($192.26 — $173.05) = $19.21. There is still due, on four other lots, or areas, owned by these same people, including prin- cipal to March 31, 1936—$154.36. In other words, $119.12 of this prin- cipal due has been paid, while the Council authorized the additional $154.36 also to be paid by November 15, 1936, but said amount has not been paid as yet. Can the extra amount of the Octo- ber 21, 1936, payments, including $19.21 as penalty, be authorized to be refunded to the owners in order that they can still pay more of ac- tual other delinquent assessments due?

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In regard to the last paragraph of Mr. C. B. Murtagh's letter, dated January 27, 1937, please disregard said statement. He was phoned January 28th and advised that our request was for the 1936-37 Emergency Levy taxes and not the 1937-38 taxes. He then re- quested our Resolution No. 10-37 to be returned to him. Mr. Murtagh did state, however, by phone Janu- ary 28, 1937, that a definite amount of cash in the 1936-37 Emergency Levy must be stated to him. Accordingly, attached is his ap- proval of Resolution No. 10-37 au- thorizing the transfer of the present cash in 1936-7 Emergency Levy Fund equal $14,809.36 to the 1936-7 Con- solidated Fund.

Dear Mr. Evans: We have your letter of February 2 stating that the balance of $24,520.42 due the bond sinking fund will be returned by March 31 and used to reduce the amount which You plan to refund at that time. We also are in receipt of the ap- plication to transfer temporarily $17,000.00 from the w a t e r w o r k s sinking fund to finance a swimming Pool project. We are taking no action in the matter of the proposed transfer. There are several reasons why we deem it dangerous to make the transfer. The transfer is to be made from a trust fund created for the purpose of paying certain indebted- ness. Thg money is to be repaid from an f�ncertain source. We do not know 31 a singlq'swimming pool that has"been constructed in recent years that is creating a surplus over operating costs. In some instances a tax is being levied to help main- tain the pool. There is also some doubt as to the legality of an ex- penditure of this kind without a vote of the people of the city. The council has the right to es- tablish and . construct swimming pools if they have the money but your city is incurring an indebted- ness of $17,000.00 while Sections 6239-4 and 6241 of the Code say that an election must be held. This has been the view taken by the Attor- ney General's office for some time where the expense must be financed from another fund. We have asked the present Attorney General for his opinion as to calling an election. In the meantime we will hold your papers. If it seems certain the revenue from the pool will. be ample to pay the city's share of the cost why not proceed under Chapter 308 -fl and is- sue revenue bonds or certificates which are not a direct obligation of the city. Very truly yours, C. B. MURTAGH, State Comptroller. Councilman Bennett moved that the communication of State Comp- troller Murtagh be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

Gentlemen: On January 15th yo referred a letter to the Planning an Zoning Commission, concerning th rezoning of the property owned b Mrs. Hycintha Lehner, at 511 Ga field Avenue, from "Two Famil Residence" to a "Business District. The Commission desire to infor you they have not taken final actio on this, but have instructed Mr Hycintha Lehner to present a pet tion to them from the owners of th property in that block on the north aide of Garfield Avenue, between Kniest Street and Johnson Avenue, requesting the change for the entire block. This block borders on a "Heavy Industrial District" which is direct- ly across the street from the C. M. St. P. & P. shops. Upon presentation of the afore• said petition the Commission will take action and make a recommen. dation to your honorable body. Yours very truly, R. V. McKAY, Secretary. Councilman Bennett moved to re- ceive and file the communication of the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Y e a s — Mayor Pro Tem Kane, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Schiltz. Nays—None. Absent—Mayor Jaeger. February 25, 1937. Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On February 8th you referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission a petition of H. A. Bischoff, which requested that the property at 724-728 Lincoln Avenue be rezoned from "Two Family Resi- dence" to a "Local Business Dis- trict." At our meeting on February 16th the communication came before us and after considerable discussion the request was turned down for the following reasons: 1. Lincoln Avenue is one of the fine residential streets of the city. 2. There are but few encroach- ments of business on Lincoln Avenue, which business existed prior to the passage of the Zon- ing ordinance. 3. Rhomberg Avenue is the logical ' business district street and has developed as such and is only one block south east of Lincoln Avenue. 4. Rhomberg Avenue is now de- veloped and is continuing to de- velop for business purposes. d 5. Lincoln Avenue is not now, or e ever has been, considered by y the Commission for any other Gar use than residential. y 6. Those business occupancies which exist on Lincoln Avenue m now and which did exist prior n to the Zoning ordinance have Mrs all the rights to continue as I- such as long as the business 6 uses are not discontinued. Regular Session, March 1st, 193: 7. The applicant is now using his property for business purposes and has the continued right to do so as long as his business is not discontinued for a reason- able length of time as provided for in the Zoning ordinance. 8. As long as the applicant is in business the Commission does not see fit to disturb the residen- tial setting further. 9. The request for change is based on the applicant's desire to rent his property for a tavern,, which, under state law, is required to be in a business district. 10. The Zoning ordinance was en- acted prior to the state beer law. The applicant should at- tempt to have the state beer law amended to permit taverns to operate in business buildings now used for business, regard- less of district. 11. The Commission does not be- lieve they have any liability in this matter to assist the appli- cant from his distress because of the above facts. We hope your honorable body will accede to the plans of the Commis- sion. Yours very truly, R. V. McKAY, Secretary. Councilman Chalmers moved that the communication of the Planning and Zoning Commission be approved and made a matter of record. Sec- onded by Councilman Schiltz.

A request had been made from leaders of the Boys' Club to have the City donate all of said lumber, windows, etc., of this former Club House to provide for a new build- ing for this active group. Mr. Mor- gan, of the local W. P. A. Adminis- tration, has agreed to furnish pro- per laborers to quickly tear down this old building and then erect the same for the Boys' Club.

Gentlemen: At the regular Council meeting held on February 1, 1937, a petition from Mr. A. J. Mihm of the Mettel Realty & Investment Company was submitted to and referred to the larch 29th, 1937 Council to view the same. The re- quest was for permission to have erected a 3 -foot wide iron set of steps from the 2nd floor to the south sidewalk of 29th Street at the brick store building at 2S911 Central Ave. On Saturday afternoon, March 27th, the City Council viewed this building, located at the southeast corner of Central Avenue and 29th Street. The south edge of the side- walk on 29th Street is approximately 3 feet away from the outside line of the north two story building wall. It was determined and authorized by the City Council on March 27, 1937, that this 3 -foot wide iron set of steps could be placed along the north wall of this building, but if any portion of the steps were to extend over the present brick sidewalk, that said brick sidewalk must be extended northwardly toward the curb line to provide the present width of the said sidewalk.

Gentlemen: On January 4, 1937, recommenda- tions were submitted to the City Council by the Sanitary Inspector, Fire Chief and Building Commis- sioner to condemn an old barn located at the rear of Lot 268 Davis Farm Addition, in rear of 2608 Cen- tral Avenue, owned by Anna Long. These separate recommendations were on the basis of many appeals from citizens objecting to this very bad condition of the barn located just west of White Street. On Saturday afternoon, March 27, 1937, the City Council viewed said barn, investigated the general con- ditions and determined to submit this building to the group of three local investigators for recommenda- tions as to their decision to abandon this old frame, dilapidated and dan- gerous building. Further decision by the Council was that the group of three local investigators should be appointed and that their decisions and recom- mendations be submitted quickly to the Council on this one question and approximately 15 other buildings viewed by the Council within the last few months. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed and that the City Manager be instructed to notify the owner of the barn of the decision of the City Council.

March 29, 1937 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The City Council viewed Bennett Street between Algona and McCor- mick Streets on Saturday, March 27, 1937. A request had been made by Mrs. Elis. Scheckel, et al, that an extra street light be installed in the middle block of this street, as filed January 4, 1937. The Council investigated the pre- sent two 600 C.P. street lights at Algona and McCormick intersections Of Bennett Street. No interference from these two lights is caused to the middle section of this block. The 9; total length of Bennett Street be- tween these two lights is approxi. mately 750 feet. Due to the fact that many other street intersections are as far apart as this area, with no additional lights in the middle sec- tion, thereof, the final decision by the City Council on .lurch 27th was that no additional light could be authorized at this location. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that the decision of the City Council be con- firmed. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Bane, Schiltz, Nays—None. March 29, 1937 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Appeals had been made to the City Council on December 21, 1936, and March 1, 1937, by Mr. Wm. V. Gill. Mr. Gill had been assessed for the paving of West 17th Street in October 14, 1929. He had paid to the County officials the delinquent taxes on Lots 6 and 7 of Sub. E. Lot 682, also delinquent special as- sessments due to March 31, 1936. The City of Dubuque has received the payment of special assessment principal due to March 31, 1936, also interest on the same and an addi- tional penalty—$100.96. The two appeals from Mr. Wm. V. Gill in- cluded the request to the Council to refund to him the penalty—$100.96, as paid in addition to the principal and interest, in order that he could still pay the additional 1-10 of prin- cipal and interest still due by March 31, 1937. He had to borrow this en- tire amount of cash to redeem his property. The 1-10 principal due within a few days will be $101.98. Accordingly, the Council approved the authorization, as of March 27, 1937, for the refund of the penalty already paid—$100.96. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed and that a warrant in the amount of $100.96 be ordered drawn on the Special Bonded Fund in favor of Wm. V. Gill to cover the amount of refund granted. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz.

March 29, 1937 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: An appeal was made to the City Council on January 25, 1937, from Mr. C. J. and Alberta Schneider of 880 Kirkwood Street to refund to them a penalty, equal to $18.26, as charged to them at the Court House when they paid the last 1-10 of the special assessment for Fund No. 567. This delinquent special assessment was authorized by the Council to be paid on the basis of delinquent prin- cipal only on October 5, 1936. Mr. Schneider was recently in- jured in a milk wagon accident. He needs the penalty to pay his extra costs incurred through his injury. On March 27th the City Council considered this question and author- ization was made by the Council to refund the penalty, equal to $18.26, to these two property owners. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed and that a warrant in the amount of $18.26 be ordered drawn on the Special Bonded Fund in favor of C. J. and Alberta Schneider to cover the amount of refund granted. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz.

Pyle, State Fire Marshall, to prohibit the use of fireworks with- in the limits of the City of Dubuque. The City Council considered this question on March 27, 1937. The Council members were aware that new Senate and House Bills were in- troduced in 1937 and since no report has yet been received on the actual condition of the possible passage of these bills to eliminate fireworks, the Council determinted to take no definite action on the elimination of fireworks in Dubtique. Accordingly, this appeal from Mr. J. V. Pyle was not accepted. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Chalmers moved that the decision of the City Council be confirmed.

Gentlemen: The City Council on March 27th,. 1937, again considered the appeal from the Women's Auxiliary of Du- buque County Medical Society, filed with the Council on June 15th, 1936, for the purpose of closing certain streets for roller skating in spring, summer and fall periods. The final decision was that prac- tically no city streets could be defi- nitely closed for certain hours of each day to provide roller skating, due to the fact that owners of cars would desire to leave or return to their homes and that possibly fire, police, ambulance and other city service would be required to operate on said closed streets and also doc- tors and other necessary drivers might be required to quickly save lives because of sickness, injuries, etc. Accordingly, no streets were auth- orized to be closed. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that the decision of the City Council be con- firmed. Seconded by Councilman Chalmers. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Jaeger, Councilmen Bennett, Chalmers, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None. March 29, 1937. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The City Council de- termined on March 19th to view Shelby Street due to the indefinite request from local property owners to improve this street. The petition as filed March 19, 1937, included a statement that the property owners could not enter an explanation of the bad conditions on this street. On last Saturday afternoon, March 27th, the Council viewed Shelby Street from Seminary Street north to the end of said street. The de- cision of the Council was that from Seminary Street north for about 200 feet said Shelby Street be covered with crushed stone to avoid muddy conditions where the street was wide enough for two or more cars; Special Session, March 29th, 1937 also that said street was to be smoothed and properly drained to- ward Seminary Street in the south 200 feet plus in length. No de- cision was authorized for any action on the north 100 feet, or so, of area where the surface of Shelby Street dips much lower than the area near Seminary Street and said north 100 plus foot area cannot possibly be drained to Seminary Street by the gutters of Shelby Street.

Dove of the Interstate Power Company submitted a letter and a map to the City Coun- cil on January 25th including a re- quest to have a portion of the 20 foot wide alley between 7th and 8th Streets vacated by the City. This area requested to be vacated in- cludes a length of approximately 500 feet. The Interstate Power Co. owns all lots on both sides of this alley. The requested vacation at the west side of the alley begins at the 1•ine between Lots 28 and 29 on the south side of the alley and also at the line between Lots 8 and 9 on the north side of the alley and ex- tends eastwardly to the former va- cated area of the same alley at the line between Lots 23 and 24 on the north side of said alley. The entire area of vacation is in Blocks No. 14 and 12. The present portion of the alley, west of the part now requested to be vacated, is used only for one railroad track. Mr. F. G. Becker owns three lots just west of the present requested area of vacation, including Lots 28, 27 and 26 facing 7th Street. The alley is not to be vacated at the rear of Lots 28, 27, 26 and west to the west side of Lot 19. An ap- peal has been made by Mr. Becker not to vacate this alley parallel to and between 7th and 8th Streets from Pine Street east to the east line of his property at Lot 28. Accordingly, the City Council viewed this area Saturday, March 27th, and determined to authorize and have prepared the necessary provisions to vacate the requested 95 portion of this alley in order to as- sist the Interstate Power Company to fence off said alley and to pre- vent in the future the stealing of coal as piled in large areas on their lots at both sides of the present non -used alley. No authorization was made by the Council to vacate any portion of the alley in the rear of Mr. Becker's lots or toward the west therefrom. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

We have investi- gated Fund No. 646 and find that in Breakey's Addition, West 56 ft. of Lot 1, there is $8.89 due as the last 1/10 of principal of Fund No. 646 levied August 10, 1925. There is al. so due on the North 97 ft. of Lot 1 in Newman's Sub., the last 1/10 of principal = $1.59 and also on the North 100 ft. of Lot 2 Newman's Sub., the last 1/10 of principal due is $6.35. In other words, the total principal on these three lots is $16.83. The appeal from Mrs. Bandy is that the Council authorize her to pay this principal only without in- terest and penalty and if the auth- orization is made by the Council, it shall be quickly paid. Mrs. Bandy was notified of this condition in Aug- ust, 1936, but until this particular time she has had no opportunity to eliminate this last delinquent as- sessment. Respectfully submitted, R. M.

City Manager Evans submitted the following report to the City Coun- cil: OFFICIAL RECORD containing grounds for refusing the applica- tion of George Kennelly for ap- pointment to the office of Super- intendent of the Water Works of the City of Dubuque. Several applications fofl• appoint- ment to the office of Superintendent of the Water Works of Dubuque, Iowa, were filed with me, as City Manager of said City, one of which being that of George Kennelly. The application of Mr. Kennelly, while it does not specifically. ask for a sol- dier's preference under the Soldier's Preference Law of Iowa, it does state the fact that he is an honor- ably discharged soldier of the war with Germany. Accordingly, in con- sidering his application, I was guid- ed by the provision of such law and Proceeded to conduct an investiga- tion of his qualifications for the posi- tion he applied for. The method of the investigation was in the form of a written examination touching upon his general knowledge of the duties of a Water Works Superin- tendent and, particularly, upon his knowledge regarding the Dubuque Water Works and Water Depart- ment. I submitted to him questions which I considered pertinent and practical. Mr. Kennelly is engaged in the electrical construction busi- ness in the City of Dubuque and has been so engaged for several years. He is a man of good moral char- acter. He has never been identified With the operation of the Dubuque Water Works and has in no manner been connected with such Depart- ment. I have refused his applica- tion for the following reasons: I called Mr. Kennelly to my office, and when I submitted to him the questions upon which I was to de- termine his qualifications, he ans- wered a number of preliminary ques- tions, but when I asked him the fol- lowing questions: "What has been your experience in the operation of water plants, either public or pri- vate" he made the following ans- wer: "I think that this is a very un- usual procedure. No other position was filled under similar conditions. It looks like I am being penalized because I am a World War veteran. The law states that there should be an investigation, not an examina. tion." Thereupon, he refused to ans- wer any more questions and left my office. The law does not prescribe the character of investigation that the appointing officer must make, and it is my opinion that the pro- per method to be pursued in deter- mining the qualifications of an ap- plicant for a position so important as the Superintendent of the Water Department is an examination as to the knowledge and experience and capacity of the applicant. Since Mr. Kennelly refused to answer any questions regarding these matters, he thereby prevented any further in- vestigation as to his qualifications, and I accordingly could not deter- mine such qualifications. Therefore, there was nothing left for me to do except refuse the application. Dated at Dubuque, Iowa, this 10th day of April, 1937. R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that the report of City Manager Evans be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Bennett. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council- men Bennett, Clark, Kane, Schiltz. Nays—None. City Manager Evans submitted the following report to the City Council. OFFICIAL RECORD containing grounds for refusing the aPPlica- tion of Roy Curtis for appointment to the office of Superintendent of the Water Works of the City of Dubuque. Several applications for appoint- ment to the office of Superintendent of the Water Works of Dubuque, Iowa, were filed with me, as City Manager of said City,. on of which being that of Roy plication of Mr. Curtis, while it does not specifically ask for a soldier's preference under the Soldier's Pref. erence Law of Iowa, it does state the fact that he is an honorably dis- r with Ger- charged soldier of the many. many. Accordingly, l his application, I was guided by the provision of such law and proceed- ed to conduct an investigation of his qualifications for the position he all plied for. The method of the inves- tigation was in the form of a writ- 110 Special Session, April 13th, 1937 ten examination touching upon his general knowledge of the duties of a Water Works Superintendent and, particularly, upon his knowledge re- garding the Dubuque Water Works and Water Department. I submitted to him questions which I considered pertinent and practical. Mr. Curtis is engaged in the plumbing business in the City of Dubuque and has been so engaged for several years. He is a man of good moral character and possesses considerable general knowledge of the operation of Water Works. He also possesses considerable knowl- edge of the Dubuque Water Works although he has never been con- nected in any capacity with the Du- buque Water Works. However, I have refused his application. Mr. Jo- seph Hail also made application for appointment to this position. Mr. Hail has been engaged in the opera- tion of the Water Works for the past fifteen years, the last eight months of which he served in the capacity of Assistant Superintend- ent. Prior to that time he occupied the positions of cashier and ac- countant in the Department. He possessed intimate knowledge of the Water Works in all of its branches, including the financial operation thereof. He understands the needs of the Department and the plans for its future expansion and develop- ment. He possesses executive abil- ity to qualify him for the position. My reasons for refusing the appli- cation of Roy Curtis and approving the application of Joseph Hail are the following: (1) Mr. Hail has had fifteen years of active experience in the Dubuque Water Department and is thoroughly and intimately acquainted with its operation in all of its branches. He is and always has been a capable and efficient employee. Mr. Curtis has not been connected or identified with the Water Department in any manner and his knowledge regarding its operation is necessarily limited to general information. (2) The best interests of the Wat- er Works and the people of Dubuque will be preserved by employing a Superintendent whose knowledge and experience of the practical and financial operation of the same is established. (3) Mr. Hail is intimately ac- quainted with the operation and method of operation of the pumps, storage tanks, mains and pumping stations constituting the Dubuque Water Works. Mr. Curtis' knowledge regarding these matters is necessar- ily limited. (4) Mr. Hail has had the advant age over Mr. Curtis in the financial operation of the plant; the method of billing and accounting entployed by it; the manner in which the busi. ness of the plant is conducted; the outstanding indebtedness; the oper. ation of the Sinking Fund, the pur. pose thereof and the investments contained therein. In cooperation with the former Superintendent, \Ir. McEvoy, he has built up a modern business with which he is thorough- ly familiar. In having this advant. age, it enhances his qualifications above those of Mr. Curtis. (5) The Water Works is a pro- gressive business and plans for the future result from years of exper- ience. Mr. Hail knows these plans and is in a position to carry them forward. Mr. Curtis lacks such knowledge and information. (6) It is my conviction that the Water Works is one of the most important industries in the City. Health and the protection of life and property depend upon it. For that reason only such employees should be placed in responsible positions who are qualified by their knowledge and experience in its operation. Gen- eral knowledge is not sufficient. The applicant, Mr. Hail,, possesses more intimate knowledge of the operation of this Department than the appli- cant, Mr. Curtis. (7) While Mr. Curtis has an im- pediment in his speech which makes it difficult at times to understand him, this fact alone would not dis- qualify him or incapacitate him from holding the position for which he has made application were his other qualifications equal• to those of Mr. Hail. For all of the foregoing reasons I consider it my duty as City Manager and for the best interests of the City to refuse the application of Roy Cur- tis and approve the application of Joseph Hail.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Many recent requests to the writer have been submitted by Mr. Wm. Holmberg of 383 So. Locust Street in regard to the auth- orization in 1936 by the City Council for him to pay certain delinquent special assessments on a definite basis. Said payments were made and the City actually received $38.22 in excess for Fund 644 and $15.15 in excess for Fund 646, or a total of $53.37 more than was authorized and actually paid within the provid- ed period. Mr. Holmberg had to borrow several hundred dollars to eliminate delinquent special assess- ments and be now greatly desires the immediate authorization of the refund of $53.37 to him. A com- plete outline of these assessments and over -payments were submitted to the Council on January 25, 1937. The question was referred to the Council, but no action has as yet been made for this refund. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that the request be granted and that a war- rant in the amount of $53.37 be ord. ered drawn on the Special Bonded Fund in favor of Wm. Holmberg to cover the amount of said refund. Seconded by Councilman Murphy. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council. men Kane and Murphy. Nays—None.

Hird, who lives at 2239 Delhi Street, made a request to the writer to advise her of the delin- Rc ular Session, May 3rd, 1937 12; on her special n an - her property. Accordingly, a alysis was made in connection with project 903, including the West Du- buque Sanitary Sewer levied De- cember 1, 1930. We found that a portion o29 and X30 ncluded'Burton's the fol - Lots 28, lowing: That the original assessment on these three lots payments totalled hadbee 170 54' 7made that the on the 10 of these 11931 s in the and 1932; that Yearsthe remaining portion of the 8 yearly principals that are not entirely due total $136.32. The interest per year at 5% on the amount not paid is $6.81. Accordingly, to Mrs. Hird's re- quest that she would attempt to pay this entire principal and interest, the estimated total cost up to the end of this month woud be approxim- ately $120.42, including the entire amount of principal not paid, plus interest at 5°Jc. An inquiry was made as to wheth- er her lots had been taken over by scavenger sale. She did not think so. The County Auditor was called and a statement was made by him that no scavenger sale had been made on these three lots. Mrs. Hird stated that her husband had recent- ly died and that she had been and was still sick and to provide for the retirement of these special assess- ments she hoped to be able to bor- row sufficient money and then to sell one or more of these lots. Accordingly, the appeal is to be authorized by the City Council to eliminate the penalty on these three special assessments. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Clark moved that Mrs. Joseph L. Hird be granted permis- sion to pay the principal, plus 5016 interest per annum and advertising costs, the balance of penalties ann interest to be waived, on the delin- quent special assessments levied against Lots 28, 29 and 30 of Fin- ley, Waples & Burton's Addition, Fund 903, and that the County Treasurer be instructed according- ly.

Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council- men Bennett, Clark, Kane, Murphy. Nays—None. Resolution No. 53-37 Whereas, our attention has been directed to the action of the House of Representatives passing HR 1668, (commonly referred to as the Pek- tengill Bill) a measure which pro- poses to amend the Fourth Section of the Interstate Commerce Act by relieving the Railroads of the obli- gation of observing the rates at far- ther distant points as maximum at intermediate points; in other words, eliminating what is familiarly known as the long and short haul clause. The present provision of the Act was incorporated as a result, pri- marily, of complaints from interior cities against the practice of rail carriers publishing low rates be- tween competitive points, while maintaining higher rates at inter- mediate points. The law was later amplified in the following respect: "The Commission shall not per- mit the establishment of any charge to or from distant points that is not reasonably compensa- tory for the service performed." Whereas, history and the present attitude of the Railroads clearly in. dicate that the sole purpose in their advocacy of the passage of the Pet- tengill Bill is to again regain the Power to destroy competing trans- portation agencies (truck and water carriers) by putting in effect, at com- petitive points, rates so low as to destroy this competition and when that is accomplished, raise their rates to existing levels or higher. Whereas, the Federal Government has, and is spending millions of dol- lars in providing adequate channels on our Inland Waterways in order to insure to the people of the Mid- dle West, the benefits resulting from low cost water transportation, and now the Railroads are demanding the pOweT to destroy, at will, both truck and water transportation. Whereas, the enactment of the Pettengill Bill• would not only ren- der useless, the facilities being pro- vided by the Federal Government, and which would help to build up Industrial development in Iowa and surrounding States, but would also drive all major industries presently located in this section, to the East- ern and Western Seaboard. The ls rembodied in the Pettengi l Bill aare branded as vicious by the ablest traffic experts in the country and have been branded by Mr. Jos. B. Eastman, until recent- ly Federal Co -Ordinator of Trans. portation for President Roosevelt, as a "reversion to the jungle." Be ittherefore resolved, by the City Council of Dubuque, Iowa, that we place ourselves on record as be, Ing unalterably opposed to H. R. 1668 and that we request our Sen. ators, the Honorable Clyde L. Herr. Ing and Honorable Guy M. Gillette, to exert every power and influence at their command to prevent the passage of this measure when it comes before the Senate. Be it further resolved, that cop- ies of this Resolution be transmitted to Senators Herring and Gillette by the Mayor, together with a request for an expression of their attitude on this most important matter.

Linehan's complaint on semi-public garage operating next door to her residence at 1301 Main Street. The garage in question is a two (2) car brick and stucco building at 1335-37 Main Street, operated by R. F. Sefzik, who lives ast 430 Clarli ed bY Street. The property Fred Gielissen. Air. Sefzik uses the garage to repair his three cars and cars of friends of his who hire him to repair same. He claims he does not advertise or solicit general re- pair service.

Miss Linehan claims the building should not be used for a public garage in the resi- dential district. My investigation and report is based on the following: From the City of Dubuque stand- point, this property was included in a restricted residential district Ap- ril 5th, 1929, about one year after the garage was first rented by Mr. Sefzik. However, the property is now zoned as a "Business District" in which public garages are per- mitted. It appears we do not have any power to prevent the garage from being used even as a repair shop. We can require the owner and/or tenant to raise the chimney to pre- vent the smoke nuisance. As to the carbon monixide fumes, Miss Line- han may have got same confused with the smell from the chimney. There is no question but what the noise from the hammering and Pounding is disturbing to the ten- ants of the surrounding property, but I do not know what the City can do about this—this may have to be handled by Miss Linehan in a private way. As to Miss Linehan's plea that Mr. Gielissen could rent Mr. Sefzik some of his other garages, that would probably cause some one else to put in the same kind of com- plaints. The garage, in question, was rented by Sefzik before Gielissen Purchased the property and the rent is now $10.00 per month. I informed Mr. Sefzik about the complaint and that he h•id better abate the nuisance to the surroua3- ing property, or drastic action %vovld be taken either by the Citi o,- Maas Linehan, or both. If you beiieve I should inform Mr. Sefzik by letter this can be done at once. Respectfully Qubmitted, By C. F.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: In connection with the letter from the writer i eferred to the City Council on May 3rd re- garding the appeal from Mrs. John Ertl, who lives at 104 Sunnyside Street, Waterloo, certain definite in- formation was secured today. Mrs. John Ertl advised us on April 24th that she had never known of any delinquent special assessment as charged to her prior to the same day, April 24th, when she paid her regular taxes at the Court House. This assessment was in Fund 774, for the paving of Broadway, levied November 28, 1928,, and is now list- ed as the undivided 1/2 of Lot 17 of John King's Dubuque Sub. Information was received today from Mr. John Kunnert, who lives at 2022 Rhomberg Avenue, includ- ing: The original 100% of this as- sessment was levied against Mrs. Catherine Kunnert. Mrs. Catherine Kunnert was the first wife of Mr. John Kunnert. Mrs. Catherine Kun- nert died on June 6, 1933. The Man- ager's letter of April 27th included an error. It was stated then that Mrs. Catherine Kunnert was the mother of both Mrs. John Ertl and Mr. John Kunnert. T o d a y it was learned that Mrs. Catherine Kun- nert was the wife of Mr. John Kun- nert and the sister of Mrs. John Ertl. Further investigation of this case shows that on April 9, 1930, Mrs. Catherine Kunnert instructed Mr. Otto Puls, Treasurer, that the total assessment levied on Lot 17 of John King's Sub., equal in principal to $516.98, should then be revised by the undivided 1/2 of said lot to be assessed to Mrs. Catherine Kunnert and 1/2 to her sister, Miss Theresa Meyer, as actual owners. This change in ownership was made on the city records and at the Court House. Delinquent assessments have now been fully paid by the hus- band, Mr. John Kunnert, on 1/2 of said total assessments. The city Officials and the Court House ofpi- Special Session, May 10th, 1937 131 cials could never contact or discover where Theresa Meyer lived. No rec- ord was submitted to Miss Theresa Meyer as to her delinquent assess- ments. None of delinquent taxes are due on this entire Lot 17 and there. fore no scavenger sale was neces- sary, or started. In March, 1937, an offer of purer chase was made for said entire lot. It was then discovered by Mr. John Kunnert that 50% of the delinquent assessments had never been paid. It was learned in March,, 1937, the lady who died on June 6, 1933, had listed the other 50% portion of this lot as owned by her sister, Miss Theresa Meyer, but the actual name of her sister was Mrs. John Ertl. On April 24, 1937, Mrs. John Ertl was advised of her delinquency by the County Treasurer. Mrs. John Ertl agrees now to pay the entire delinquent special assess- ment of 50% of the original sum of $516.98 on Lot 17 on the basis of 5% interest per year and also the last 1/10 of the principal that is not due for nearly a year. Many revisions of our special as- sessments have been made in re- gard to actual ownership of pro- perties, after the date of each levy. It is regretted that the actual name and address was not submitted to the Treasurer when this change in ownership was made. In the future, it is hereby recommended by the Manager that if a change is stated to the City Treasurer in regard to the name of any property owner as- sessed for improvements, full details shall be provided and actual data shall be submitted to the new own- er. The new owner must agree to the entire change of records. Inasmuch as Mrs. John Ertl was never advised of this delinquent as- sessment, prior to April 24th, 1937, it is the recommendation of the writ- er that the penalty of said assess- ment be authorized to be eliminated by the City Council. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that Mrs. John Ertl be granted permission to Pay the principal of the delinquent special assessments, plus 5% inter- est per annum and advertising costs, the balance of penalties and interest to be waived, levied against the Undivided 1/2 of Lot 17 of John King's Dubuque,, Fund 774, and the County Treasurer to be instructed accordingly.

This is to advise that this water main has now been extended and completed. Mrs. Norberg can now secure water from the city. Respectfully submi`ta1, R. M. EVAtiS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: Mr. Frank Lacy, at- torney, came to the City Manager's office today and requested that auth- orization be made by the City Coun- cil to refund any penalty that had to be paid on delinquent special assessments as levied against Reiche's Sub. Lot 34). Investigation of this particular lot shows that Fund 903, for the West Dubuque Sanitary Sewer, as levied December 22, 1930, was charged to Mrs. Mar- garet Accola as the owner at that time. The total amount assessed on this particular lot was $81.98. Two payments have been made. It is now planned to pay the 5/10 of the principal as due March 31, 1937, plus the remaining amount of as- sessments which will be due in a few years. Interest at 5% that could be paid at the end of this month would total $16.93 and the remain- ing principal would be $65.52, or a total of $82.45. Again it was discovered that Fund 925 included an assessment on the same lot as charged to Mrs. Mar- garet Accola for the paving of Grace Street, levied December 7, 1931. The original assessment on this partic. ular lot was $137.71. One payment only has been made. The delin- quency n cludes 5years special. assessments to March 31 1937. Interest at 5% on the total balance of ay 31, the npaid 937, would assessment $32.02 and the 9/10 of the principal not paid 132 Special Session, May 10th, 1937 as yet would include $123.94, or a total of $155.96. Mr. Lacy advised that this pro- perty had been recently taken over by Wm. H Kretschmer as trustee. This property has also been taken over by scavenger sale. It is plan- ned now to sell this lot and the complete special assessments would be paid at the Court House, includ- ing penalties and 5% interest, if the Council will agree that a refund on the penalty will be authorized if the penalty is submitted to the City. The interest, as above listed, is included in both levies to the ena of this month. If any changes were made in payments before the end of the month, the City Treasurer can revise the amount of interest as listed. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that the request of Attorney Frank Lacy, for Wm. Kretschmer as Trustee, be re- ceived and filed. Seconded by Coun- cilman Bennett.

Mr. Levaggi made a statement that there were not sufficient street lights around his plant. The writer contacted him about 3 o'clock this afternoon and it was discovered that there is a street light at Main and Railroad Streets, another at Locust and Railroad Streets and there is one approxi- mately at the middle of Railroad Street about 100 feet east of Har- rison Street. This present street light is not high enough to provide sufficient light on Harrison Street. It is the writer's recommendation that this light be moved one pole to the west, which is approximately In the middle of the Harrison Street intersection. Between Harrison and Salina Streets the new Glass Plant is approximately 325 feet long and the request is to authorize a new street light to be installed at the Intersection of Salina and Railroad Streets. Inasmuch as this is a rail• road crossing and it is nearly 300 feet from Main Street, it would seem that with a new plant starting, it Would be necessary to have a street light at this particular intersection, It is the writer's opinion that a 250 C. P. light at the intersection of Salina and Railroad Streets will be sufficient rather than a 400 or 600 C. P. Another request was that a street light be authorized to be installed on Harrison Street approximately 100 feet north of Railroad Street. There is at present a 250 C. P. light about 300 feet north of Railroad Street on Harrison Street. It would seem to the writer that this extra light only 100 feet from the new pole to which the present light is to be transferred, would not be re- quired. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved to re- fer the communication of City Man- ager Evans to the City Council to view the grounds. Seconded by Councilman Kane.

Tax of 1934 in the amount of $924.13. Tax of 1935 in the amount of $485.70. (The above were sold to the Coun- ty of Dubuque at the scavenger sale of January 4, 1937.) Tax of 1936 in the amount of $485.00 is still unpaid. On July 30, 1934, the City of Du- buque levied against City Lot 14 for the improvement of Main Street in the amount of $281.92. There has been nothing paid on the prin- cipal and the interest payments due In 1935 and amounting to $8.26 and the interest payments of 1936, amounting to $14.09, were also sold at the scavenger sale of January 4, 1937. On October 1, 1934, the City of Dubuque levied against this property for boulevard lights on Main Street in the amount of $129.04. Nothing has been paid on the principal of this assessment—the interest of $2.68 for 1935 and the interest of $6.45 for 1936 have also been sold to the County of Dubuque at the scavenger sale of January 4, 1937. On July 1,. 1935, the City of Du- buque levied against this property in the amount of $425.00 for the partial demolition of the building. This amount has also gone to the County at the sale of January 4, 1937. On November 2, 1931, the City of Dubuque levied against this pro- perty for the boulevard lights on East Fourth Street in the amount of $52.77. The first three (3) in- stallments amounting to $5.27, $5.34 and $5.27, respectively, have been paid, but the payments due in 1934, 1935 and 1936 also went to the scav- enger sale of January 4, 1937, leav- ing a balance there of $21.08 unpaid. On November 2, 1931, the city lev- ied against this property for the im- provement of East Fourth Street in the amount of $36.70—three (3) in- stallments, or $11.01, were paid — the installments due in 1934, 1935 and 1936, making a total of $11.01, were also included in the tax sale of January 4, 1937, leaving a balance unpaid of $14.68.

On September 21st Resolution No. 113-36 was approved and adopted by the City Council, including the Contract for the Lease of the Air- port for five years with the Dubuque Airways, Incorporated. In Section III of this Lease the City of Dubuque agreed to pay to said Leasee the sum of $10.00 per week, in the fall,. winter and spring of each year, in- cluding 26 weeks from October 1st to March 31st. As of March 31, 1937, the cash bal- ance of the Airport Fund was $451.35.

Gentlemen: Attached is a letter addressed to the City Council but sent to the Manager by Mr. A. J. Mihm in connection with a certain Paid special assessment by Mrs. Ella Hartford. An investigation of this condition was made today. We received in December, 1936, a receipt from the County Treasurer including Receipt No. 1219, dated November 21, 1936, and of a total amount—$134.47. This assessment was for the paving of Locust Street, Fund No. 927, levied December 14, 1931. The 1/10 of the principal --$20.29 had been due since March 31, 1936. Accordingly, the amount paid by Mrs. Ella Hartford was the 1/10 of principal due on March 31, 1936, and also the entire remaining five yearly portions of principal due fin. ally on March 31, 1941. The portions of the total payment of $134.47 in- cluded principal—$121.74 and inter. est and penalty—$12.73. Our analys- is of actual interest on the principal amounts to $11.11. These assess. ment bonds are still outstanding. Therefore the only amount of pen- alty as received by the City amount- ed to $1.62. The letter of May 19th requests authorization for the refund of pen- alty received by the City. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: On May 3rd a peti- tion was submitted to the City Coun- cil by Mr. H. S. Sarson. A danger- ous condition was mentioned in re- gard to a gully on the northeast side of Fremont Avenue, about 400 feet south of Wartburg Place. This condition was checked by the Man. ager and it was discovered that the east portion of the rock road on Fre- mont Avenue, leading to Catfish Creek, had been washed away and the portion of this road was too nar. row for two cars to pass at a length of about 150 feet. Accordingly, this deep gully has now been filled in with broken rock and the gutter has been, extended to the east. Shortly, other portions of this road must be smoothed and rolled, but it is believed that the hazard is eliminated. Another bad condition was discovered a few days ago at the northeast edge of the Catfish Creek Bridge. Due to heavy recent rains, the ground had been washed out and said hole near the bridge has now also been filled and braced with concreted stone. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: A study has been made in connection with Dr. W. J. Connell's request to the City Coun- cil that a second hand car be pur- chased for full time daily service to the Sanitary Inspector. S i n c e Milk Inspection is required to be made, Joseph Scharry must often go to areas far beyond the city limits. Before the city depression started, our yearly budget provided that $30.00 per month was to be paid to Mr. Scharry for the operation of his privately owned car for city sanita- tion inspection. The three other inspectors are now busy. Their two small Ford cars are entirely necessary for build. ing, plumbing and electrical service, as at present. On May 21st and 22nd an investi- gation and tests of second hand, small cars were made by Frank Becker, our garage mechanic, Jo- seph Scharry, and the Manager, in. cluding: Universal Car & Tractor Co., 950 Central Avenue. 1-1932, 4 Door, 5 Passenger, 8 cylinder Ford.

No heater, but a radio is installed, good shape outside and inside. Cost reduced from $450.00 to $395.00. Any of these five tested cars would surely last for several years in the City Health Department service. Two of these five are Fords and three rare Plymouth cars. A four door, or a two door car can be used pro- perly. Variations in prices are from $240.00 (Fluckiger Co.) to $395.00 (Feye Bros.). It is suggested that any one of these five cars be authorized to be purchased at once. Several other cars were tested, but others than the above five are not recommended, due to discovered worse conditions. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the City Manager be authorized to purchase a five passenger Ford auto- mobile from Feye Bros. for the sum of $395.00 for the use of the Sani- tary Inspector.

June 4th, it was noted that he had arranged to hold a wrestling con- test at Melody Mill on June 4th. Today Mr. Fenelon was finally con- tacted and he stated, due to the interference of his parking provi- sions west of the Athletic Field on June 4th and possibly on later dates, and also due to no possible chairs being available from the City, that he could not operate his wrestling contests at this Athletic Field in 1937.

Mc- Evoy, for many years superintend- ent of the Dubuque Waterworks, was called to his eternal reward. His passing was cause for general Regular Session, June 7th, 1937 159 sorrow throughout the City of Du- buque. His whole life reflected good citizenship and a noble char- acter. He will always be remem- bered as a conscientious and effi- cient public servant. This City has lost a capable and honest em- ployee. The Manager and Councils of Du- buque realize the great good he ac- complished in the development and progress of the Waterworks. It was an integral part of his life and constituted his great interest and ambition. His accomplishments will always remain a monument to his sincerity of purpose and intel- ligent planning. Time will only serve to emphasize his real worth and emblazon his achievements up. on permanent tablets never to be dimmed or destroyed in its passing. Although death has removed him from the field of temporal action, his memory will remain as an in- spiration to all who knew and loved him and an incentive to mold their lives and efforts in accordance with his standard's. The City Council, as the goveTn- ing body of the City of Dubuque, for itself and on behalf of all citi- zens desires to give expression to the sorrow which has been caused by the death of Mr. McEvoy and to extend to his family the sym- pathy of each member thereof. Be it, therefore', resolved by the City Council of the City of Du- buque that this tribute, weak and inexpressive as it may be, be spread upon the public records of this Council and that a copy thereof be delivered by the City Clerk, in per- son, to his widow and sorrowing family.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Mr. C. H. Briggs, our head garage mechanic who has been sick for nearly 10 months, has been to the Manager's office in the last several days. He states that his health is good and he can now start to operate the garage on July 1, 1937. Mr. Briggs is an efficient and good mechanic. He has been the head mechanic for approximately 10 years. The reason for his tem- porary retirement was due to con- ditions in his lungs and chest caused by his lying on the concrete floors under cars and trucks in the winter of 1935-6. Now that this World War veter- an can again start his city activ- ities, the City Manager has ap- pointed him as the head garage mechanic to start July 1, 1937, ap- pointment to be temporary and not to exceed 90 days. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Murphy moved that the communication of City Manag- er Evans be received and filed. June 30th, 1937 171 Seconded by Councilman Bennett.

Gentlemen: At the Council meet- ing of May 3, 1937, Mrs. Al. Sav- ery, a grocery store operator at 625 Central Avenue, submitted a letter requesting the Council to eliminate parking of cars and trucks in front of her store. An investigation was made by the Iowa State Planning Board, which group is making an analysis of traf- fic conditions in Dubuque. Attached is one copy of this test. During 12 hours in day time of May 7th, from 7:00 A. M. to 7:00 P. M., the analysis includes: Violations of positions and space, time of park- ing in the block between 6th and 7th Streets on Central Avenue and certain other conditions that re- sulted. Other checks have been made re- cently and it is found that large trucks and cars park in front of Mrs. Savery's store for hours each day. Apparently the only legal way to eliminate the parking in front of this store by drivers, who go to other buildings for long periods in the same block, would be to pro- vide a one hour parking limit in this block. One hour parking pro- vision in several other blocks on Central Avenue, where many stores are located, would provide advantages to the store operators. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the request be granted and that the City Solicitor be instructed tq incorporate said provision in the new Traffic Code now being pre- pared. Seconded by Councilman Clark. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council, men Bennett, Clark, Kane, Murphy. Nays—None. June 23, 1937. Honorable Mayor and City Coun- cil, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Dr. W. J. Connell made an appeal to the City Coun- cil on May 24th, 1937, to control all possible dogs in this city. A study was made at the County Court House in regard toall city total city owners of dogs. lit Special Session, listed as 2173 dogs. Immediately information was submitted to all these owners, except about 100 citizens who had already secured and paid for licenses for their dogs thus far, since April 1, 1937. To June 23rd our 1937 total of dog licenses is 490. In addition to the $1.00 charge for a male dog license, an 8010 additional penalty is charged due to delinquency. Starting on July 1, 1937, all other dog licenses will be charged at a 10% penalty. The total fiscal rev- enue for dog licenses to March 31, 1935 was $156.23; to March 31, 1936=$134.77 and to March 31, 1937 =$634.77. Several licenses are paid each day lately. After June 30, 1937, it is appar- ent that the Police Department shall have to check all dogs lo- cated on streets, sidewalks and lots without fences to determine that the same dogs have city li- censes. Non -licensed dogs should be caught by the Police and sub- mitted to the Humane Society for certain days of reserve. Many citizens have stated that their private dogs are not licensed, but the same dogs are not per- mitted to leave their homes or their fenced lots in order to pos- sibly bite or damage citizens. All- possible efforts should be made to eliminate hundreds of dan- gerous and cross dogs that are now still not licensed and are still run- ning on streets and alleys in the city. It is hoped that no rabies will occur in this city. However, all Possible dogs that are not kept in homes should be tied up or elim- inated in case of no licenses. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Murphy moved that the communication of City Man- ager Evans be received and filed. Seconded by Councilman Bennett.

Gentlemen: A request had beeen filed on June 15th by Mr. W. J. Connolly to have the city scrape Off the high area of ground on the west side of Pierce Street between West Locust Street and Quigley Lane and to fill this extra amount of ground over the low area where a storm sewer was installed on the June 30th, 1937 west sidewalk area of Pierce Street. The Council members view- ed this area on November 7, 1936, and authorized the request to be performed. Unfortunately Mr. Con. nolly died, but his former property is still damaged by this high ground. Thus far no opportunity has re6 suited in our Street Department be. ing able to perform this work. A copy of this letter is now again filed with the Street Superin- tendent, Mr. Thos. Byrne, and he is instructed to do this work as quick. ly as possible. Respectfully submitted, R. M.

Gentlemen: Several appeals have been made to have refunded by the City Council extra penalties and costs of certain property own- ed by Mrs. Mary Fink. Mrs. Fink lives at 1380 Reeder Street. The fund is 82 for the sanitary sewer In Reeder Street as levied on Aug- ust 13, 1929, for Lot 14 Langwor- thy's Add. A payment was made on April 3, 1937, to redeem the 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1936 special assess- ments on this lot due as of March 31st each year. The amount due March 31, 1937 has not yet been paid. The actual money received from the County Auditor and Treasurer was $113.88, including $68.15 for five yearly special as- sessments and $46.73 for interest and penalty. The total interest due to March 31, 1937 on the amounts that had not been paid was $28.62. In other words, the Penalty as listed for scavenger sale on this special assessment was $17.11. Mrs. Fink is very desirous- 02 esirousof getting this refund. Mrs. Fink is 80 years of age, not in good health and she has no available cash at present. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Bennett moved that the request of Mrs. Mary Fink be granted and that a warrant in the amount og $17.11 be ordered drawn Special Session, June 30th, 1937 173 on the City Treasurer against the Special Bonded Fund in favor of Mrs. Mary Fink to cover the amount of refund granted on the payment of penalties paid on de- linquent special assessments, Fund 826, levied against Lot 14 of Lang - worthy's Addition for the construc- tion of a sanitary sewer in Reeder Street.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At the August 3rd, 1936 Council meeting an appeal was made to the City Council to extend the city water main in Sabula Street between Muscatine and Burlington Streets. Also a, second appeal was made to opeg and extend Sabula Street between these same two streets. This was referred to the Manager. Last fall the city water mains were extended and now all local homes are furnished with water at this area. Sabula Street extends southwest from Muscatine Street about 200 feet, but Mineral Lot 346, owned by Mr. N. Grommersch, diagonally extends over the possible intersec- tion of Sabula Street and Burling- ton Street. Mr. Grommersch's barn is located on this possible inter- section. Since Mr. N. Grommersch has not agreed to donate a triangle area to the city, including approxi- mately 160 x 80 feet, it has not been possible to provide for these extensions of Sabula and Burling - tion Streets to arrange for the proper intersection. Accordingly, the water is pro- vided, but the intersection could not be provided without payment by the city for this land and also the cost of moving the present barn. Respectfully submitted, R. M.

Hying, who lives north of the city line on the eastern exten- sion of 32nd Street, made an ap- peal to not permit gardening or farming on Elbow Street. This street area is not open for traffic. The location is south of Mr. F. H. Hying's home and possibly 300 feet higher than East 32nd road. This Elbow Street area was checked and staked by the City Engineering Department. Signs were Placed on the area for no plowing or no garden use. we were advised later that a man, who lives just north of the city area, was starting to plow this area. He was personally warned not to loos- en this ground as it would o arty ifath damage was arheavy property rain.P Thus far, to my knowledge, no violation or damage has been done.

Ryan made a request to the Council on March 29th that an effort be made to secure a Federal Grant to fi- nance many repairs to the various local Fire Stations. The W. P. A. officials were con- tacted, but thus far no approval of any repairs has been author- ized. The Ninth Street Main Fire Station has a very bad wooden floor where the fire equipment is stored. Other stations have also bad main floors, broken doors and many other difficulties that should be improved. If relief cannot shortly be pro- vided, it would seem that your 1937-8 emergency fund could be al- lotted to these improvements on the basis of from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 for these necessary im. provements. Otherwise these floors may fall and thus damage the heavy fire equipment. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

These lots are 9 and 10 of Randall's Sub. No. 2. The offer for purchase of both lots was $100.00. The oun- C cil determined to view this area. T1i© this was made on November 10th, 1936. Again at a meeting of November 10th, 1936, authorization was to sell these two lots to Mr. Wyburn for $100.00 in cash. Mr. Wyburn was advised of this decision. Mr. Czizek and Mr. Shea Provided a contract and deed for this purchase. Thus far no pur- chase has been made. Recently Mr. Wyburn was contacted and now he states that no money is available for the purchase. June 30th, 1937 Accordingly, it would seem that this sale should be cancelled.

For several hundred feet south of Jones Street, this Levee Street is required to be repaired. Instruc. tions have been made to the Street Superintendent to raise the center of this area, to roll and smooth the surface and to pro- vide for rain water to be elimin. ated by gutters. This must be done very quickly as the street is low, rough and full of ruts. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Hoerner made a request to the Council on June 7th, 1937, to place an oil bind- er on Wooten Street. Wooten Street extends eastwardly from North Hill Street for about 250 feet and is parallel to and about 600 feet north of Dodge Street. Last fall this small street was smoothed, gravelled and rolled by the city. It is impossible to tar or oil each year more than 5 to 10% of the unpaved city streets at the expense of the general fund. Accordingly, Mr. Hoerner was advised that if he could get some used oil from any gasoline filling station, the Street Department would again smooth this street and also spread the used oil on' the surface to prevent dust. This same Special Session, procedure has been done on many streets for two years. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: Twelve citizens liv- ing within the 11th and 12th blocks of Rosedale Avenue petitioned the Council on June 21st to have Rose- dale Avenue, from West Locust Street west for three blocks, oiled by the city. Thus far, to reduce the costs of Street Department operation, no oil or tar has been ordered by the city. Possibly one carload must be provided for repairing Dodge Street and other steep sections where traffic is heavy. It is suggested, since Rosedale Avenue is not steep, but that these three blocks must be smoothed and rolled quickly, that used oil from gasoline stations be secured by the residents of Rosedale Avenue and then the Street Department can spread this oil to eliminate dust. These residents do not favor as- sessments for tarring or oiling the street. Respectfully submitted, R. M. EVANS, City Manager.

Gentlemen: Mr. C. E. Rhoades Of the Dubuque Auto Club made certain requests to the Council on June 7th, 1937. The first was a statement that numerous complaints were filed with him that the one "Stop and Go" signal, located at the mid- dle of the intersection of West 14th and Locust Streets, is too high. The lowest portion of the signal is 14' above the top of the paving of (une 30th, 1937 175 this intersection as directly under. neath. said signal. This is the pro- vision of the Iowa Code that 14' must be the minimum. where any street light, signal, etc., is above any portion of a main street. Cer. tain trucks, busses, etc., are ap- proximately from 1 to 2 feet as high as the 14:00 minimum of sig. nals. Special trucks, loaded by a railroad car, etc., have actually been checked as they have operat- ed on West Locust Street. Only a few inches in reserve were available to prevent no damage to the city traffic signal. It is the Manager's opinion that NO low- ering of this Locust and 14th Street signal, or any other traffic signal, can be legally or safely made. Mr. Rhoades also suggested that three diamond shaped warning signs be provided and installed, each 300 feet from this intersec- tion, including 300' south, 300' north on Locust Street and 300' east on West 14th Street, where the Federal Highways are oper- ated. These three signs were to be placed between the sidewalks and curbs. Readings on the signs would be "Stop Sign 300' Ahead." The distances of 300' from this signal on these three directions could NOT possibly be used. On West 14th Street, east of Locust Street, 300' would actually occur in Main Street. Again north and south of West 14th Street on Locust Street these proposed signs would also be in both of the 15th and 13th Street intersections. The distance of 300' must be either increased to beyond the intersection, or de- creased to about 250' so that the extra signals would be within the blocks approaching the present "Stop and Go" signal. Said three warning signals, if provided, should also be erected ahead of any large ffic could see the warning hatees so'tsignal,aalso the signals should be placed at or very near the division between ldtsnin orderr that said sign getting out of fere with citizens g their cars to their sidewalks, or homes. Another opinion is that a "Slow Sign," painted on the right side of each of these three street paving approaches to the Traffic Signal, would be more efficient and would be cheaper.

Honorable Mayor, City Council and City Manager, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Subject: Installa- tion of Rotary Exhaust Fan in South Areaway Window of Dia. mond's Cafeteria. On July 3rd Mr. O'Leary and myself investigated the application of Diamond's Grille for permission to install rotary blowers in the basement window of the refrige1% ating room, and we looked over a typical installation of this rotary fan on display at Stampfers. As there will be two rotary blow- ers, having a total of four exhaust pipes, each 2y2 inches in diameter, and these exhaust pipes will. not proJErt beyond the line of the building wall, and will turn clown, and all be hidden by a heavy screen, we see no harm in grant- ing the permission requested by Diamond's, providing that should therr bE• any noticeable food odors from the exhaust, that the fan be euunrcted to a duct which will car- ry off such odors without being a nuisance to any one. Yours very truly, C. F. BARTELS, Building Conunissioner. Councilman Bennett moved that the request be granted. Second. ed by Councilman Clark.

A., upon approval of the State Comp- troller, the tax levy for such fund can be increased to 3.5 mills; and Whereas, it is now deemed nec- essary and advisable by this Coun- cil to request the State Comptrol- ler to authorize the increase here- in stated: Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque that the State Comptroller be and he is hereby requested to approve the levy of 3.20 mills for the Fire De- partment Fund of the City of I)u- buque said levy to be made in the year 1937 for use in the fiscal year 1938-1939.

Gentlemen: Numerous requests for oiling of streets to settle the dust and for the tarring or asphalt- ing of macadam streets to provide better riding surface have been re- ceived the past several months. Work of this nature is not provid. ed for in the annual budget. Some few streets have been treated as petitioned for, but the greater num- ber have not been touched and as a result a few property owners have been pleased and the greater number offended. This type of work is, after all, an improvement and should not be considered in any different manner than that of a higher type of im- provement. The difference is only one of degree and therefore I rec- ommend that the Council adopt a policy of considering all surfacing of streets as a special assessment proposition. Respectfully submitted A. A. ROHMBF.RG, City Manager. Councilman Kane moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Rhomberg be approved and that the City Council adopt the policy as recommended by City Manager Rhomberg.

August 18th, 1937 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: With reference to petition of John J., Edward J., and Charles J. Plamondon requesting certain changes in the Zoning Ordinance, which matter was referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 11th, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the petition be denied for the following reasons: 1) This district is developing as(an ideal "Single Family" home area, and in all such cases, it is the Policy of the Commission to pre- vent, if Possible, encroachment of business. (2) The lots in question are only a block and a half away from an established "Local Business" district, thus there is no need of another one so close. (3) The Commission, as a mat- ter of policy, does not approve special zoning of one or two lots. If there is a natural or logical rea- son for a "Local Business" district, it is the Commission's policy to make the "Local Business" area large enough, covering both sides of the street, to avoid giving a monopoly to a limited number of citizens as well as to limit damage to nearby residential property. The Commission does not believe such a natural trend prevails in this dis. trict. (4) As a rule such limited re- zoning as requested usually harms more property owners in the dis- trict than are benefited. (5) Had the Zoning Ordinance been in effect at the time, the old station could not have gone in this residential location. To pre- vent such encroachment of busi. ness on residential areas is one of the primary functions of Zoning. Trusting that this information will serve to indicate to your honor- able body no desire on the part of the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion to be unfair or arbitrary,, but only a desire to hold to a firm Policy for the future improvement and development of our city, we remain Respectfully yours, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, By R. V. McKay, Secretary. Councilman Murphy moved that the communication of the Planning and Zoning Commission be made a matter of record and the petition of John J., Edward J., and Charles J. Plamondon be referred to the City Council. Seconded by Council- man Kane. Carried by the follow- ing vote: Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council- men Bennett, Kane, Murphy. Nays—None. Absent—Councilman Clark. September 2, 1937 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The petition of the A. Y. Mc- Donald Manufacturing Company for permission to raise the grade of Second Street to remedy the un- satisfactory condition of their new loading platform having been re- ferred to me on August 2, I submit the following report after proper investigation. The loading platform on Second Street is not usable because of the very steep ramp where the ap• proach to the loading platform meets the brick surface of Second Street as shown on the attached scale drawing.

Gentlemen: The petition of Her. bert A. and Grace E. Kenuison re- questing the installation of an 8 - sewer and a 4" water main in Mt. Vernon Court was referred to me by the City Council on August 9th. I have examined both the plans of Mr. Kennison and the street lay. out of Mt. Vernon Court. As a mat. ter of policy I am. opposed to the levying of a special assessment to cover improvements on properties that are owned wholly by one per. son. However, should the Council see fit to permit the sewer and water improvements to be done by special assessment, I recommend that no lift pump be put on a sewer system to supply but ten lots. The cost of maintaining such a lift pump would be too great con- sidering the small number of lots to be benefitted. A better plan for providing sewerage for this sub- division would be to run the main from the west end of the property underneath Overview Court to con- nect with the Plymouth Street sewer. In order to do this ease- ments would be necessary through the private property between Mt. Vernon Court and Plymouth Street. Respectfully submitted, A. A. RHOMBERG, City Manager. Councilman Kane m o v e d that the petition of Herbert A. and Grace E. Kennison be denied. Sec- onded by Councilman Clark. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council- men Bennett, Clark, Kane, Murphy. Nays—None. September 7, 1937. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.

I have examined this corner and recommend that no light be In- stalled. The condition complained of is caused largely because of the number of trees growing at this point.
