September 20, 1937.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
attached petition of Mr. Roy Bram-
mer, requesting certain changes in
the Planning and Zoning Ordin-
ance, which was referred to the
Planning and Zoning Commission
on September 7th, 1937, the Com-
mission recommends that the peti-
tion be denied for the following
reasons:
(1) Rezoning of one lot to a
classification different than sur-
rounding properties is contrary to
first principles of city zoning and
hence contrary to a long standing
policy of the Commission.
Incidentally, you will be interest-
ed to know that a recent decision
of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania sustains this policy. In a
recent decision Huebner vs. Phila-
delphia Savings Fund Society, the
court ruled,—" a single lot is not a
proper area to be classified as a
zoning district in itself; and the
action of City Council in creating
a separate commercial zone of iso-
lated area comprising a single cor-
ner lot is unreasonable and void."
(2) Adequate local business fa-
cilities are already available in the
general area, the lot under consid-
eration being but one and one-half
blocks from a local basiness dis-
trict to the east on Julien Avenue,
and two blocks from another to
the west on Delhi Street.
Yours very truly,
R. V. McKay, Secretary,
Planning and Zoning Commission.
Councilman Kane moved that the
recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Commission be made
a matter of record. Seconded by
Councilman Murphy. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council-
men Bennett, Kane, Murphy.
Nays—None.
Absent—Councilman Clark.

Council,

Gentlemen: Attached please find

pany, dated January 13, 1937, re-
questing vacation of certain pro-
perty by the City adjacent to its
main power plant in Block 14, Du-
buque Harbor Improvement Com-
pany's Subdivision. Attached like-
wise is a letter of Dubuque Dock
Commission signed by J. A. Kerper
and addressed to Mr. Bissell of
the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion, referring to the same sub-
ject matter.
The Planning and Zoning Com-
mission recommends to the City
Council that the petition of the In-
terstate Power Company be grant-
ed at such time as the tentative
agreement between Interstate POW-
er Company and Dubuque Dock
Commission, calling for certain per-
manent easements over the Power
Company property mentioned in
Mr. Kerper's letter, be carried out
—the details of agreement, maps,
etc., to be prepared by the Dock
Commission and City Attorney
Czizek.

2nd, the petition of Oscar Irmen
et al. requesting that the resurfac-
ing of West 28th Street be con-
tinued to Muscatine Street was re-
ferred to me.
I have examined West 28th
Street and find that West 28th
Street has been improved with bi-
tuminous surfacing from Central
Avenue to a point just east of Da-
venport Street. The balance of the
street is not graded and therefore
I recommend that no surfacing be
applied to West 28th Street until
such time as it is brought to a pro-
per grade from the end, of the
present improvement westerly to
Muscatine Street.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.,.
Gentlemen: On September 7th
John L. Deckert, the owner of Lot
19 of Yate's Subdivision, request-
ed that sewer and water mains be
laid in West 16th Street. The pres-
ent water main ends approxim-
ately 75 ft. west of Henion Street.
Before 'a water main could be laid
from the present main westerly
it would be necessary to do a great
deal of grading on West 16th
Street and to do considerable ex-
cavation in solid rock. To provide
sewer facilities it would be neces-
sary to build 318 ft. of sewer main
on Catherine Street from West
17th Street southerly and 363 ft.
of sewer on West 16th Street from
Catherine Street west.
These improvements would pro-
vide for five homes, all of which
are on the north side of West 16th
Street from Catherine Street west
to the end of West 16th Street.
The property on the south side of
this street is wholly owned by Co-
lumbia College. I am of the opin-
ion that this work would be very
expensive in nature and I serious-
ly question whether the property
values in the neighborhood would
stand the assessments.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

September 22nd, 1937.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: The communication
of L. E. Taylor requesting the re-
moval of signs which have been
erected throughout the City by the
State Auto Insurance Association
of Des Moines on the grounds that
Special Session, September 23rd, 1937 243
the same are violative of the
motor vehicle laws of the State
and constitute an unlawful inter
ference with the free use of pub-
lic property has been referred to
me for an opinion.
It will be remembered that the
erection of these signs was auth-
orized by the Council prior to the
enactment of the new Motor Ve-
hicle Law. When authorized, the
Council felt that the signs would
serve a useful purpose by directing
the attention of the public to dan-
gerous intersections and places
where accidents has occurred and,
therefore, would be in the interest
of public safety. However„ since
objections to the maintenance of
such signs have now been made,
it is necessary to consider the
same in the light of existing laws
and determine whether or not such
signs can be legally maintained.
The principal objection to them is
two -fold: (a) They bear on their
face advertising matter; and (b)
They constitute an obstruction to
the free use of the street and side-
walks.
Mr. Taylor refers to certain
specific sections of the Code and
of the Motor Vehicle Law which hr
claims are being violated, to -wit:
Section 4846 which prohibits bill-
boards and signs on highways;
Section 290 of the Motor Vehicle
Law which prohibits signs con-
taining commercial advertising;
and Section 5079-02 of the Code
(now Section 373 of the Motor Ve-
hicle Law) ; and the general sta-
tute against nuisances and obstruc-
tions.
As to Section 4846, it is clear
this statute has reference only roads primary and secondary
which are exclusively underthe
jurisdiction of the Highway C
Om -
mission and Board of Supervisors.
It has no application to this case.
As to Section 290 of the Motor
Vehicle Law, this statute prohibits
the maintaining of any signs relat-
ing to traffic which resembles or
might be mistaken for an author-
ized traffic sign and contains an
express prohibition against the
maintenance of any traffic sign or
signal "bearing thereon any com-
mercial advertising." Are the signs
complained of a violation of this
section? are. In the
It seems to me ea direction to
first place, they are
traffic to "drive slowly," and ri ted
next place, they have p„State
thereon the name eg f Moines.”
Auto Association,
While the signs cannot be mis-
taken for authorized traffic signs,
nevertheless they attempt to con-
trol traffic and contain commercial
advertising matter thereon.
A careful reading of the statute
seems to throw light upon the in-
tention of the Legislature when it
enacted the statute. While it pro-
hibits on highways the mainten-
ance of signs which direct and
which contain commercial adver-
tising, it permits signs when
placed upon private property adja-
cent to highways which give use-
ful, directional information of a
type that cannot be mistaken for
official signs even though such
signs do contain commercial adver-
tising upon them. The fact that
the exception was made as to such
signs when located on p r i v a t e
property indicates the legislative
intention to exclude such signs
from highways.
As to Section 5079-C2 (now Sec-
tion 373 of the Motor Vehicle
Law). I do not believe such sec-
tion applies to the instant case as
the signs were not erected or
caused to be erected" by the City.
As to such signs constituting an
obstruction to the free use of the
streets and are nuisances, it is my
opinion that this is true. Section
290 of the Motor Vehicle Law de-
fines any prohibited sign, signal or
marking to be nuisance and auth-
orizes the City to remove the same
without notice.
Section 5945 of the Code places
the, supervisioneets,nd control of avenues, alleys,
highwaysys
public sq,uares and commons upon
the City and requires that they
be kept open and in repair and
free from nuisances. A public
street includes sidewalks
ted ex"
tends from property
ro-
perty line. Since such signs are
prohibited by law and are declared
to be nuisances, and since the City
fs charged wita the duty of keep-
ing streets free from nuisances,
t
seems to follow that byallowing
pro-
on P
such Signs to �915ermitt ng a nuts-
pertY. the City P ind in order
ante to he eaitsalynll duty to the
to discharge its should be rem
hat the
ld
ed. There is no do ont toccur account not
an accidentthe City would be held
such signs,
liable in damages.
It is my opinion that the signs
complained of do violate the Motor
Vehicle Law and do constitute a
obstruction to The
bo
nuisance and
dpublic property,
free use

Special Session, September 23rd, 1937

direct their removal.
Respectfully submitted,

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentleman: Herewith is the re-
port of the investigation made by
the State Department of Health of
the nuisance condition caused by
the discharge of gas from the Gen-
eral Insulating & Manufacturing
Plant.
I have visited the plant today
and find that the new down -shaft
blower is in operation on one of
the four units and that the sec-
ond installation will be completed
tomorrow. The same improvement
will be made on the remaining two
units as soon as the equipment ar-
rives. The officials of the Rock
Wool Plant feel that this will re-
move the flying wool and the . ob-
noxious odors that have been the
cause of the complaints from the
People in the neighborhood. The
Inspection that I made leads me
to believe that when all of the new
apparatus is installed there should
be small cause for any future com-
plaints. Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

Mr. J. J. Shea,
City Clerk,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Mr. Shea:
On September 4 we received
from you an application of the
City Council to transfer $5,500.00
from the Emergency Fund to the
Dock Maintenance Fund.
We have hesitated to approve the
transfer for the reason that during
the past few years receipts in the
Consolidated Fund have been inade-
quate to meet disbursements and
they have had to resort to various
means to meet expenses.
The present Emergency Fund
from which transfer is asked was
approved and levied to augment the
Consolidated Fund in case of neces.
sity and at this time the city has
not shown that the Consolidated
Fund was in such condition that it
will not need the Emergency Fund
money before the close of the year.
This year an Emergency Tax of
less than .50 mills for 1938 collec-
tion was approved for the same
purpose as the previous year. It
has been the hope of this office
that the city could arrange its
finances so as to dispense with the
Emergency Tax altogether but

tion was adopted:
Whereas, on July 13, 1937 this
Board asked the City Council to

tion of the Dredge in excavating
the Ice Harbor and
Whereas, the Council in response
requested the State Comptroller to
approve a transfer of $5,500.00 from
the Emergency Fund to the Dock
Operating Fund and
Whereas, On October 7 the said
State Comptroller notified the City
Clerk that said transfer could not
be approved by him, therefore, be
it now
Resolved: That the City Council
be requested to ask the State
Comptroller to approve of a loan
from any available funds of the
Water Department which may not
be needed at this time in an
amount of $5,500.00, the same to be
repaid Within, one year out of the
funds placed to the credit of the
Dock Operating Fund as a result
of levy of sis mill tax for the fiscal
year ending March 31, 1939.
Pursuant to the above Resolu-
tion, you are hereby respectfully
requested to ask the State Comp-
troller to approve of the loan as set
out in said Resolution.
Very respectfully,
By P. S. FAWKE President.
By J. A. KERP Secretary.
By ALBERT WHARTON,
Commissioner.

Resolution No. 120-37io
n for
Resolution and app
licatauthority to transfer $5.500.00 from
the Waterworks Operation Fund of
the City of Dubuque to the Dock
Fund.
WHEREAS, there exists in the
City of Dubuque a Board of Dock
ic-
Ch has j
on and control of a
dockP operrty.
258 Special Session, October 25th, 1937
including the harbor and water.
fronts of said City; and
WHEREAS, for several years the
harbor has been filling up with silt
and mud so that it has become use-
less for the harboring of water
craft and other purposes incident
to the proper operation of the,
docks; and
WHEREAS, in order to clean out
and dredge said harbor and to
make other improvements related
to the operation of the docks at
Dubuque, the City of Dubuque pur-
chased and caused to be built a
dredge at a cost of approximately
$30,000.00, which dredge is now
ready for use and operation; and
WHEREAS, competent engineers
have determined that to dredge the
harbor and make certain other con-
templated improvements, it will re-
quire several months of operation,
such work to continue until the
river and harbor becomes frozen
over with ice; and
WHEREAS, the purchase of the
dredge and the doing of the work
herein described was not contemp.
lated when taxes were levied in the
year, 1936, and as a result no taxes
were levied for the Dock Fund and
the income from the operation of
the docks is wholly insufficient to
Pay the expenses now required to
be paid for such purpose; and
WHEREAS, it is now evident
that unless funds are made avail-
able by transfer from the Water-
works Operation Fund to the Dock
Fund, it will be impossible to do
the work for which said dredge was
acquired and the investment of the
City in said equipment will be jeo-
pardized as there are no other
funds available which might be
used for such purpose; and
Whereas, there is now in the
Waterworks Operation Fund of
said City the sum of $49,810.01,
which, together with current rev.
enues to be received will be more
than sufficient to pay the expenses
of the operation of the Waterworks
so that a transfer of $5,500.00 to
the Dock Fund can be made at
this time wtihout interfering with
the operation of said Waterworks,
said sum however, to be repaid to
said Waterworks Operation Fund
on or before November 30, 1938;
and
Whereas, before any transfer
can be made from the Waterworks
Operation Fund to the Dock Fund,
an application must be made to
the State Comptroller for author.
ity to make the transfer and his
approval secured thereon: Now,
Therefore,
Be It Resolved by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque that,
subject to the approval of the
State Comptroller, there be and
there is hereby transferred from
the Waterworks Operation Fund of
the City of Dubuque to the Dock
Fund of said City the sum of
$5,500.00 which is now in the
hands of the City Treasurer, and
the State Comptroller is hereby
Petitioned to authorize such trans.
fer, said sum to be returned to the
Waterworks Operation Fund from
the Dock Fund on or before No-
vember 30, 1938.
Be it further resolved that when
such approval has been received
from said State Comptroller that
the Auditor and Treasurer correct
their books accordingly.

Resolution No. 120-37
Resolution and application for
authority to transfer $5,500.00 from
the Water Works Operation Fund
of the City of Dubuque to the Dock
Fund.
Whereas, there exists in the City
of Dubuque a Board of Dock Com-
missioners which has jurisdiction
and control of dock property, in-
cluding the harbor and waterfronts
of said City; and
Whereas, for several years the
harbor has been filling up with silt
and mud so that it has become use-
less for the harboring of water
craft and other purposes incident
to the proper operation of the
docks; and
Whereas, in order to clean out
and dredge said harbor and to
make other improvements related
to the operation of the docks at
Dubuque, the City of Dubuque pur-
chased and caused to be built a
dredge at a cost of approximately
$30,000.00, which dredge is now
ready for use and operation; and
Whereas, competent engineers
have determined that to dredge
the harbor and make certain other
contemplated improvements, it will
require several months of opera-
tion, such work to continue until
the river and harbor becomes froz-
en over with ice; and
Whereas, the purchase of the
dredge and the doing of the work
herein described was not contem-
plated when taxes were levied in
the year 1936, and as a result no
taxes, were levied for the Dock
Fund and the income from the
operation of the docks is wholly
insufficient to pay the expenses
now required to be paid for such
Purpose; and
Whereas, it is now evident that
unless funds are made available
by transfer from the Water Works
Operation Fund to the Dock Fund,
it will be impossible to do the
work for which said dredge was
acquired and the investment of the
City in said equipment will be
jeopardized as there are no other
funds available which might be
used for such purpose; and
Whereas, there is now in the
Water Works Operation Fund of
said City the sum of $49,810.01,
which, together with current reven-
ues to be received will be more
than sufficient to pay the expenses
Of the operation of the Water
Works so that a transfer of
$5,540.00 to the Dock Fund can be
made at this time without inter-
fering with the operation of said
Water Works, said sum, however,
to be repaid to said Water Works
Operation Fund on or before No -

Gentlemen: With regard to at-

et al referred to the Planning and
Zoning Commission by City Coun-
cil Sept. 10th, the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommends to
Your body that said petition be re-
jected.
As a point of principle, the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission ob-
jects to the encroachment of busi-
ness onto Church property and
Church activities.
You will note attached letter
signed by Rev. John. Halpin, pastor
Of St. Colunlbkille's Church re-
questing removal of his name from
the petition, and stating that he
does not favor the rezoning re-
quested, having signed the petition
originally under a misunderstand-
ing of the situation.
Respectfully submitted,
Dubuque Planning and Zoning
Commission.
R. V. McKay, Secretary.
Councilman Kane, moved that the
recommendation of Dubuque Plan-

November 1, 1937.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: As you no doubt
know, it has been the practice of
the Water Company to charge the
Park Board for water used in Madi-
son Park, Eagle Point Park, the
Tourist Park and at the green-
houses and office at 2241 Lincoln
Avenue, the other park properties
never having been charged for wa-
ter at any time.
The Park Board is faced with
considerable additional expense
because of improvements having
been made, particularly at Eagle
Point. Inasmuch as the Park
Board is operating on a reduced
budget compared to that of some
years back, I recommend that the
Park Board be allowed the use of
$400.00 worth of water per year,
without cost, and any used in ex-
cess of this amount be charged to
them, thus insuring that wasteful
methods will be discourages expense
Because of the heavy
incurred by the Park Board dur-
ing the current year, I recommend
that the outstanding water bills
against the Park be cancelled.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Kane moved that
the recommendation of City Man-
ager Rhomberg be approved. Sec-
onded by Councilman Clark. Car-
ried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council-
men Bennett, Clark, Kane, Murphy.
Nava—None.
and recommend that an ordinance
be drawn up to provide for a. spe-
cial speed limit of 35 miles per
hour on Highway No. 61 from the
south corporation line to the south
,in
of Lot 2 of J. C. Scully's Sub.
for the reason that this section of
the he
highway has but one

November 15, 1937.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: A petition has been
filed with your Honorable Body by
Dubuque Packing Company re-
questing that it be granted permis-
sion to construct and maintain an
unloading platform on Sycamore
Street adjacent to its property and
to use and maintain gates on East
17th Street for the purpose of re-
straining livestock while passing
from the north side of said street
to the south side thereof. Objec-
tions have been tiled to the grant-
ing of such permits, such objec-
tions being based substantially up-
on the claim that the Council has
no legal authority or jurisdiction to
grant the requests.
My opinion has been requested
regarding the legal aspects of the
controversy which has arisen. I
beg to advise you that I have given
the matters serious consideration.
As to the unloading platform. My
understanding is that there exists
a railroad track on Sycamore
Street, the west rail of which is
about 12 feet easterly of the east-
erly lot lines of the. property own-
ed by the petitioner; that there
are no sidewalks on either the east
or west sides of Sycamore Street;
that the Packing Company owns
all of the lots facing Sycamore
Street from East 17th to East 18th
Streets, except two lots owned by
the Marshall Boilerworks on the
northwest corner of 17th and Syca-
more Streets; that the proposed
unloading platform is to be used
as an adjunct to the operation of
stockyards to be conducted upon
petitioner's lots and as a means of
unloading cattle and hogs from
railroad cars; that the construction
and maintenance of the unloading
platform and the operation of the
stockyards is a part of an expan-
sion program to be undertaken by
the petitioner; that the platform
is proposed to be built on Syca-
more Street and to be about 12
feet in width.
The question raised by the ob-
jections is that the Council has no
authority to authorize such a struc-
ture because it constitutes an un-
lawful interference with the free
use of the street for its entire
length and width and any such
structure, if built, will constitute
a nuisance.
Under the circumstances sur-
rounding this case, to so hold
would be placing a too narrow con-
struction upon the statutes of this
State, and I cannot agree with
such construction. It is true that
the law imposes upon the Council
the duty to keep streets and alleys

poration." And Section 5744 (5)
provides that: Cities have the pow-
er to restrain and prohibit "the
running at large of cattle, swine,
sheep and other animals within
the limits of the corporation."
Under these granted powers, the
Council may adopt an ordinance
restraining the driving of livestock
anywhere within the City; or it
may adopt an ordinance regulat-
ing the manner in which livestock
may be driven within the City;
or it may adopt an ordinance re-
straining the driving of livestock
in some parts of the City and per-
mit livestock to be driven over the
streets and alleys in other parts
of the City subject to specified reg-
ulations. Naturally, the driving of
livestock over the streets and al-
leys of the City, just like the driv-
ing of vehicles, for the time be-
ing obstructs the streets and al-
leys. Yet power is granted to au-
thorize such temporary obstruc-
tions.
And, further, the Council may
prescribe conditions under which
such operation may be carried on
both as to the length of time the
streets may be thus obstructed and
as to protective measures to pre-
vent livestock from running at
large or trespassing upon private
property while they are passing ov-
er the streets and alleys. How-
ever, the regulation should not be
unreasonable.
Further, every effort should be
adopted to avoid the driving of live-
stock over and across the streets
and alleys becoming a nuisance by
reason of the depositing of filth
and offal on the same. In this
connection, it would be a proper
regulation to provide that such of-
fal and filth must be removed
promptly in order to avoid J n-
noyance, discomfort or inconven-
ience to adjacent property owners
or the general public.
In this connection, I would sug-
gest that, rather than grant the
petition of the Dubuque Packing
Company for permission to main-
tain gates on East 17th Street,
that the Council adopt an ordi-
nance prescribing regulations gov-
erning the driving of livestock over
the streets and alleys within a re-
stricted area and, to that end, I
have prepared such ordinance and
I am submitting the same here-
with for your consideration.
If this ordinance should be ad-
opted, it would not only permit
the use of the streets and alleys
for the purposes stated in tive pe-
tition but it would also permit the
maintaining of gates which could
be operated for a limited period
while livestock was being driven
from one side of the street to the
other. However, if gates are to
be installed, they should be of
such design, location and construc-
tion as will meet the approval of
the Council and, in no event,
should they be permitted to be lo-
cated upon the private property of
others, nor so located as to inter-
fere with the proper use of pri-
vate property, or so located as to
become an unreasonable interfer-
ence with the use of public pro-
perty.
A second petition has been filed
with the Council and Planning and
Zoning Commission requesting the
vacation of the easterly 25 feet of
Cedar Street between East 16th
and East 17th Streets and the sale
of such vacated portion of the
street to the petitioner which pro-
poses to erect a permanent build-
ing thereon. Objections to such
vacation have also been filed by
property owners on Sycamore
Street and on Cedar Street assert-
ing that the Council is without
authority to grant such request.
Before this petition can be act-
ed upon by the Council, it must be
referred to the Planning and Zon-
ing Commission for its recommen-
dation. After such recoinhienda-
tion has been received, the Council
may then consider whether or not
to adopt such recommendation,
whatever it may be, and it would
then be .time enough to consider
the objections.
Respectfully submitted,,

City Solicitor.

November 17, 1937.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council.
Gentlemen: The Planning and
Zoning Commission held a special
meeting November 16th to con-
sider the petition of the Dubuque
Packing Company referred to the
Commission by action of the City
Council in session November 15,
1937.
The Planning and Zoning Com-
mission begs leave to recommend
to the Honorable Mayor and City
Council that the petition of Du-
buque Packing Company request-
ing vacation of easterly 25 feet of
Cedar Street for the entire dis-
tance between 16th and 17th
Streets and sale of such vacated
portion to said Packing Company
be granted upon such financial and
other terms as the City Council
may deem reasonable, the sense of
the Commission being that the
area proposed to be conveyed is
practically equivalent to the area
of sidewalks on both sides of Ce-
dar Street which sidewalks have
never been built nor needed. In
this connection, the Planning and
Zoning Commission also recom-
mends the vacation of the side-
walk along the west side of Cedar
Street and reservation or dedica-
tion of such sidewalk space exclu-
sively for roadway purposes.
Respectfully submitted,
R. V. McKAY, Secretary,
Dubuque Planning and
Zoning Commission.

January 24, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: on January 3rd I
recommended that the Council
amend the ordinance covering the
bus routings as outlined in a pro.
posal of the Interstate Power Com-
pany for the purpose of providing
bus service on Dodge Street be-
tween Bryant Street and Grand-
view Avenue as petitioned for by
Mrs. Mattie Hoskins, et al. The
Council thereupon instructed the
City Solicitor to prepare the nec-
essary papers.
Since that time the Interstate
Power Company has met with con-
siderable opposition to the change
of the bus schedule as first pro.
posed. To satisfy the objectors
and yet appease the petitioners,
they have now proposed to operate
the Fremont Avenue bus over
Dodge Street and South Booth
Street to Grandview Avenue in-
stead of on Bryant Street from
Dodge to Grandview Avenue. This
change would not disturb the
g Special SCSSio ll, January 24th, 1938
Grandview Avenue and Mt. Carmel
schedules as would the first pro-
posal made.
I recommend that the Council
now amend the ordinance coveT-
ing the bus routings as herein out.
lined and further that it would be
well at this time also to correct
some few discrepancies that exist
between the actual bus routings
and the wording of the ordinance
outlining the routes which have
come to light in the present dis-
cussion.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Clark moved that

January 24, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the session of
the City Council of January 3rd
the request of the National Guard
Company for an inspection of the
Fire Headquarters Building at 9th
and Iowa Streets with a view to
removing the load limitations on
the Armory floor was referred to
the Building Commissioner and the
City Manager for an investigation
and report.
We have inspected the entire
building and beg to report that the
limitation of 250 persons as a max-
imum attendance at any one time
on the fourth and third floors be
not changed. There is grave doubt
whether the present procedure of
renting the Armory floor to the
National Guard for drill purposes
Is a safe proposition. We find that
this building was erected by the
City on a contract about the year
1894 and that the original plans
Of the building called for a two-
story structure, which plans were
revised during the course of con-
struction to include an additional
floor.
Mention is made in the petition
of repairs and supports that have
been done in recent years. The
repair work and supporting that
has been done was only in the
matter of stopping further settle-
ment of the building and in no
way contributes to the stability of
the Armory floor.
For these reasons we recommend
that your Honorable Body deny the
petition.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the session of the City Coun-
cil held January 24, 1938, the bill
of Mrs. J. P. Seitz of 1047 West 14th
Street for services rendered by
Mullen Bros. & Company for clean-
ing out her house sewer was re-
ferred to me for an investigation
and report.
An investigation shows that the
stoppage causing the trouble was
in the main sewer in West 14th
Street and I recommend that the
bill of $17.71 be paid Mullen Bros.
& Company from the main sewer
fund of the City.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBER.G,
City Manager.
Councilman Kane moved that the
recommendation of City Manager
Rbomberg be approved and that a
warrant in the amount of $17.71 be
ordered drawn on the Main Sewer

Company as per bill rendered for

in main sewer at 1047 West 14th
Street. Seconded by Councilman
Clark. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council-
men Bennett, Clark, Kane, Murphy.
Nays—None.
February 7, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the meeting of the City Coun-
cil on January 24, 1938, the petition
of C. S. Corzine, et al, requesting
that the routing of the Fremont
Avenue and Grandview Avenue
busses be changed and that St.
Joseph Street be improved fit for
bus travel was referred to me for
the purpose of conferring with the
officials of the Interstate Power
Company.
I have met with Mr. A. H. Smith
of the Transportation Department
of the Interstate Power Company
18 Regular Session, February 7th, 1938
and find that the re-routing of th
Grandview Avenue bus to provide
service on Bennett Street could b
effected by the Power Company
without undue disturbance of their
schedule. A great number of the
residents of Bennett Street and
vicinity have telephoned to my,
office the past few days indicating
their desire for such a change.
I find in the Council record that
several years ago a similar pro-
posal met with considerable ob.
jection which was based largely up-
on the fact that Bennett Street was
set aside as a street for coasting in
the winter. If the Council should
desire to order the extension of
bus service on Bennett Street this
matter of coasting should be con-
sidered.
The Interstate Power Company
is not favorable to re-routing of the
Fremont Avenue bus over St. Jos-
eph Street unless the street is first
improved. St. Joseph Street at pre-
sent is a macadam street with
stone curbs on part of its length,
the work having been done under
relief projects. I have inquired
into the possibility of paving St.
Joseph Street by special assess-
ment and find that of the lots front-
ing on St. Joseph Street, 37% of
the frontage represented is at pre-
sent delinquent in the payment of
the costs of the West Dubuque
Sewer District. For this reason I
do not believe it economically fea-
sible to levy an additional assess-
ment against the property for the
Improvement of the street and re-
commend that the proposed bus
routing on St. Joseph Street be
denied.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Kane moved to sus-
pend the rules for the Purposeof
allowing any one present in the
Council Chamber, who wishes to do
so, to address the Council. Second-
ed by Councilman Clark. Carried
by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council-
men Bennett, Clark, Kane, Murphy.
Mrs. Maud Hutchings and Miss
Elsie Datisman addressed the Coun-
cil requesting that the Interstate
Power Company route their busses
over Bennett Street, Mr. Henry
Guard addressed the Council re-
questing that the Interstate Power
Company route the Fremont Ave-
nue busses over St. Joseph Street.
Councilman Kane moved to refer
the communication of City Mana-
ger Rhomberg to the City Council.
e Seconded by Councilman. Clark.
Carried by the following vote:
e Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council-
men Bennett, Clark, Kane, Murphy.
Nays—None.
February 7, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the regular monthly meeting
of the Council held January 3rd the
petition of Jacob D. Neiman con-
cerning delinquent paving assess-
ments was referred to me for in-
vestigation and report.
Mr. Neiman was assessed in 1931
for the paving of Wood Street be-
tween 14th Street and Rosedale
Avenue on Lot 6 of Mineral Lot 178
in the amount of $254.15 and on Lot
10 of Gray's Subdivision in the
amount of $209.76. To date he has
made two payments on Lot 6 of
$25.41 each plus interest and on
Lot 10 one payment of $20.97 plus
interest.
The lots in question on the west
side of Wood Street slope rather
sharply away from the street and
at the time of levying the assess-
ment Mr. Neiman's name appears
on the Council Proceedings as ob-
jecting to the amount against the
lots. The Council record of Feb-
ruary 16, 1931, states as follows:
"Request of J. D. Neiman of
December 12th for a 50% reduc-
tion in the assessments for paving,
water, sewer and gas connections
on Lot 6 and 1 of 5 of Mineral Lot
178 and also on Lot 10 Gray's Sub-
division (on which there is a house
located) on Wood Street was in.
vestigated but not allowed."
The time that has elapsed since
the levy was made may not permit
a reduction at this time. I would
suggest that the Council view the
property if, in their opinion, any re-
duction is possible.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHQMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Kane moved that the
cornmunicat�ion of City Manager
Rhomberg a received and filed.
Seconded by Councilman Clark.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Chalmers, Council-

of certain property on Cherry and
Avoca Streets, in Finley Addition,
said petition having been referred
to the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission by City Council on Febru-
ary 7th, the Planning and Zoning
Commission begs to recommend to
City Council vacation of the alley
requested. The diagonal course of
the alley through the block forms
Irregular shaped lots which are not
entirely suitable for building pur-
poses.
The Commission recommend fur-
ther that the vacation of said alley
be conditioned upon payment of a
price which City Council may deem
reasonable, and upon proper ar-
rangements being made so that all
abutting property owners are treat-
ed fairly in the distribution of the
ground thus acquired.
Respectfully submitted,
Yours truly,
R. V. McKAY,
Sec'y Dubuque Planning and Zon-
ing Commission.
Mr. A. A. Rhomberg,
City Manager,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Sir: The Planning and
Zoning Commission met February
23rd, and asked me to report to
you that in addition to their recom-
mendation, made to the City Coun-
cil on the petition of the Mettel
Realty and Investment Company,
they feel that the offer of $50.00
for the vacation of the alley men.
tioned in the request is not ade-
quate.
The vacating of this alley will
mean that all adjacent property
holders can make three saleable
lots out of four parcels of land
which are, at present, not in con-
formity with the requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance. They feel
this is the logical step to take, but;
are of the opinion that the area
of the vacated alley is worth more
than $50.00. They also feel that
the cost of printing and of trans.
ferring the title will amount to
almost $50.00, and the least that
should be asked would be $50.00,
Plus the necessary cost of vacating
and transferring.
An investigation of the sewers
shows a 20 inch storm sewer in
the alley which they wish vacated.
A plat and profile of this storm
sewer is attached, and I would re.
commend that if this alley is va-
cated by the City Council that an
easement should be obtained for a
Permanent right of way of this
storm sewer. It might be well to
mention that the depth of this
storm sewer varies, from four feet
to six feet and might interfere
with the construction on the lots
Involved.
A private sanitary sewer is also
shown on the attached plat which
was constructed by the owner of
Lot 166, Finley's Addition. The
profile of this sewer is also shown,
and it would be well to mention
to the prospective purchaser that
this is a private sewer, and ar-
rangements would have to be made
with the owner before using it for
any future construction.
Respectfully submitted,

Building Commissioner.

Gentlemen: At the session of the
City Council, held February 7th, the
attached petition of the Dubuque
Star Brewing Company was re-
ferred to the City Solicitor and
Building Commissioner for investi-
gation and, report.
A study of the Zoning Ordinance
and of the Building Code leads us
to the conclusion that such a sign
board comes under the Building
Code as provided for in Section
769. In accordance with the above
a permit has been issued for the
erection of the sign board in com-
pliance with the requirements and
specifications of the building code.
We hope that this action meets
with your approval.

Gentlemen: Referring to at-
tached communication of Frank R.
Zemanek requesting vacation of
the alley from south of Green
Street from Avoca Street east to
the easterly line of M1111s West Du-
buque Addition, it is the sense of

Public interest will ever be served
by an alley as platted. Therefore,
the Planning and 'Zoning Commis-
sion wishes to recommend to the
City Council that the alley be va-
cated upon such terms as will pro-
tect the City against the expenses
of advertising, etc., involved in the
carrying out of the necessary legal
steps, and make equitable alloca-
tion of the ground to adjacent pro.
perty owners.

In the event your city also de-
sires to clean up outstanding war-
rants against the various funds of
the city, we will also endeavor to
secure a judgment on these war-
rants and include said judgment in
with the funding of the judgment
on the Special Assessment Bonds.
For the judgment on the warrants,
we are also to be given the priv-
ilege of taking 31/4% bonds in lieu
of said judgment.
In the case of said judgments
against the city, we will assume all
expenses in securing the assign-
ments from the various bond hold-
ers and will carry your warrants at
an interest rate of 2%. We will
also pay all of our attorneys fees
in connection with the securing of
said judgment. In the event said
Judgment is secured, we will fur-
nish the necessary forms and pro-
ceedings authorizing the issuance
of the new bonds, furnish the opin-
ion of Chapman and Cutler, and the
printed bonds, without cost to your
city.
The City is to furnish us with a

May 20, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor,
City Council of the
City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:
In response to the directions of
your honorable body to the City
Solicitor directing the preparation
and submission of proper ordi-
nances covering the changing of
certain bus routes in the City of
Dubuque, and the rerouting of
buses upon these routes in accord-
ance with the request and petitions
filed with your body asking for the
same, I beg to submit the following
report, recommendations, and pro-
posed ordinances. I find upon ex-
amination of the franchise of the
Interstate Power Company relative
to its transportation system, and
the ordinances later passed chang-
ing the method of transportation
from street cars to buses, and
later ordinances amending and
changing certain methods, and ex-
amination of the schedule under
which buses are being routed over
streets which are not designated
In either the franchise or in an
subsequent ordinance designatingy
bus routes, and that buses are be-
ing operated over four different
specific routes which were never
provided for by either franchise
or subsequent ordinance, and that
In the case of changing these
routes, buses are being operated
over streets in the City of Du-
buque which are not included in
any of the other bus routes pro-
vided for by either franchise or
ordinance.
I find upon investigation that
these changes made in designated
bus routes, and these particular
routes over which buses are sched-
uled and operated, have been pro.
vided by the company, and service
thereon furnished because of de-
mand therefor, and because the
patronage thereof warrants the
additional service. • In view of this
fact, and of the fact that the pre-
sent routing of buses was appar-
ently determined upon by the
transportation company in the at.
tempt to satisfy the requirements
of the different sections of the
city, and, after investigation and
conference with both the superin-
tendent of transportation of the
Interstate Power Company, and the
City Manager, during which the
entire transportation system was
exhaustibly studied and consid-
ered, and in order to have all the
buses now operating, operate over
streets properly provided for by
ordinance, I am recommending the
adoption of the attached ordi-
nances which repeal the former
ordinances with reference to routes
and adopt in lieu thereof, an ordi-
nance covering the entire transpor-
tation system, setting forth in de-
tail each of the specific routes over
which buses are being operated,
and which includes the change in
the Grandview route over Bennett
Street, and in the Fremont Route
over Dodge Street, which was spe-
cifically ordered by your body. I
would recommend the adoption of
the attached ordinances, the first
ordinance repealing Ordinance No.
9-33; the second ordinance re-
pealing Ordinance No. 20-32, and
the third ordinance amending Or-
dinance No. 15-32, the original
bus routing ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.

Gentlemen: At the meeting of

for additional lights on Sunset
Ridge was referred to me for in-
vestigation and report.
I have examined the original plat
of Sunset Ridge filed in the County
Recorder's office under the date of
February 27, 1926, and find that the
Sunset Ridge driveway has never
been dedicated as a street. The
dimensions indicated for the vari-
ous lots presumably run to the
edge of the 20 foot paved drive-
way and it is my opinion that the
title to the paved driveway is in
the names of the heirs to the Har.
riet Guthrie estate.
It is my recommendation that no
further lights be installed for the
reason that the Sunset Ridge drive-
way is not a city street.

Resolution No. 52-38
Resolution and application for
authority to levy an emergency tax
for the City of Dubuque.
Whereas, the City Council of the
City of Dubuque has made a com-
pilation of the expenses which will
be incurred during the fiscal year
beginning April 1, 1939, and ending
March 31, 1940, including the pay-
ment of principal and interest upon
outstanding indebtedness, and tax
levies for the various funds and
purposes have been determined;
and
Whereas, a serious effort has
been made to keep operating costs
as low as is consistent with good
government; and
Whereas, in the past bonds have
been issued in anticipation of some
of the taxes embraced in the con-
solidated tax levy and the revenues
derived from such taxes are pledged
to the payment of such bonds, as
to principal and interest; and
Whereas, payments of $46,000.00
in principal, and of $17,475.00 in
I
nterest are to be made during the
fiscal year beginning April 1, 1939
and ending March 31, 1940, from
the funds embraced in the consoli.
dated tax levy; and
Whereas, the inadequacy of the
revenues for ordinary purposes re-
maining after the payment of such
principal and interest constitutes
an emergency which requires the
le"y of an emergency tax and this
Council considers the levy of an
emergency tax of one (1) mill to
he absolutely necessary; 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 authorize and
approve the levy of an emergency
tax in the year 1938 to be approx-
imately $34,235.00, the same to be
used in supplementing the funds
required for debt service and in
the manner provided by law.
The foregoing resolution was
adopted at an adjourned regular
meeting of the City Council of the
City of Dubuque on the 5th day of
July, 1938.

On March 10, 1938, Mrs. Mary
Maguire filed claim against the
City of Dubuque, in the sum of
Thirteen and 50.100 ($13.50) Dol-
lars, for injury sustained by 1,%. in
a fall upon the sidewalk at the
corner of 12th and Iowa Streets on
January 15, 1938, which claim was
thereafter referred by your body
to the City Solicitor for investiga.
tion and report.
I beg to advise that investigation
has been made of this claim which
discloses that Mrs. Mary Maguire
fell upon a strip or patch of ice,
caused by water dripping. from he
top platform or porch of an outside
stairway on the building adjacent
to this sidewalk, and that from all
of the evidences adduced as the
result of said investigation, I am
of the opinion that there is no legal
liability on the part of the City of
Dubuque on this matter, and am
therefore recommending that the
claim be disallowed.

July 12, 1938
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
I have heretofore discussed in-
formally with the members of the
Council, the matter of revision of
the city ordinances and the com-
pilation or codification of all exist-
ing ordinances now in force.
I find that the ordinances of our
city have not been codified or com-
piled since the 22nd day of July,
Special Session, July 12th, 1938 151_
1919, prior to the adoption of the
City Manager Form of government.
The change in the form of our city
government made by the adoption
of the City Manager form neces-
sarily abrogated many of the pro-
visions of the existing ordinancEs
r e g u l a t i n g the administrative
affairs of the city, and necessitated
the repeal of many ordinances and
changes by amendment of many
others. Since the change in our
form of city government, which
was made in the year 1920, the pro-
ceedings of the Council have been
published in book form, one vol-
ume for each year including the
year 1920, in all eighteen different
volumes each averaging about five
hundred pages of double column
type.
Due to the fact that no codifica-
tion or compilation has been made
of the ordinances since 1919, it is
now necessary, in order to ascer-
tain the exact present situation
relative to any matter or situation
covered by ordinances to first as-
certain whether any ordinance cov-
ering the situation is contained in
the revised ordinances of 1919,
and then whether any change has
been made in any such ordinance,
or any other ordinance adopted
since then, by thumbing through
the entire eighteen volumes of the
council proceedings printed since
that time. This is a very burden-
some task and does not make for
efficiency, particularly when one
is asked for a prompt or hurried
opinion on the matter of whether
a particular situation is covered
by ordinance.
I have made some preliminary in-
vestigation of the matter and find
that it may be possible- to have a
revision and compilation of all of
the ordinances of our city made,
and have the work done as a WPA
project, under the sponsorship of
the city, and under proper legal
supervision, in which project the
Federal Government would pay for
all of the clerical help, and the
only expense to which the city
would be put would be the furnish-
ing of quarters for the doing of the
work, and materials used in doing
the work.
I firmly believe that this is a
matter of urgent need and for the
best interest of the city, and I
would respectfully request that you
authorize me to confer and nego-
tiate with proper officers of the
Works Progress Administration of
the Federal Government to the end
that our city ordinances may be
revised and codified as a WPA pro-
ject under proper supervision and
under the sponsorship by the City
of Dubuque.
Yours very truly,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the request of City Solicitor
Nelson be granted and that the
City Solicitor be authorized to ne-
gotiate with the proper officials for
the securing of a WPA project.

Communication of Dubuque Park
Board submitting Warranty Deed,
Recorded Plat and Abstract of
Title from Jerry Potter to the

Lot 2 of Lot 1 of Lot 1 of Eagle
Point View also City Solicitor Nel-
son's opinion and report on the ex-
amination of the title to said pro-
perty, presented and read.
June 17, 1938.
Mr. Waldo Adams, Treasurer,
Board of Park Commissioners,
Dubuque, Iowa.
RE: Lot 2 of Lot 1 of Lot 1
of Eagle Point View in the City of
Dubuque, Iowa, according to the
recorded plat thereof:
Dear Sir: At your request I
have examined the title to Lot 2
of Lot 1 of Lot 1 of Eagle Point
View in the City of Dubuque,
Iowa, according to the recorded
plat thereof, as indicated by ab-
stracts of title thereto,, delivered
to me, prepared by the Abeln Ab.
stract Company, which consists of
entries from the time of the orig-
inal entry of this property on De-
cember 13, 1847, to August 1, 1925,
to and including June 13, 1938, as
certified to by the Abeln Abstract
Company.
From an examination of said ab-
stracts of title, I am of the opin-
ion that at the last mentioned
date, June 13, 1938, the title of
record in fee simple to the above
described premises was in the
Board of Park Commissioners of
the City of Dubuque, Iowa, in trust
for the public, under warranty
deed to said Board of Park Com-
missioners, from Jerry R. Potter,
unmarried, dated June 1, 1938.
The abstract of title indicates
that all real estate taxes assess.
ed against said property have
been paid, with the exception of
the last half of taxes assessed for
the year 1937 which have not
been paid. The abstract of title
shows no special assessment tax-
es assessed against this property
which have not been paid.
The abstract of title indicates
that poll taxes assessed against
Jerry R. Potter for the years 1929
and 1930 have not been paid. In
view of the fact that these poll
taxes, the sum of which is not dis-
closed by the abstract, might be
construed to be a lien upon said
real estate, it is suggested that
YOU procure the payment of the
Special Session, July 20th, 1938 155
same from Mr. Potter at the time
of the payment of the purchase
price of the property.
Subject to the matter of poll,
taxes, I am of the opinion Jerry
R. Potter could and would convey
good and merchantible title to the
property. I am returning to you
herewith the abstract of title deliv-
ered to me.
Respectfully submitted,
Al, J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the session of the
City Council held June 12, 1938,
the petition of St. Joseph's Mercy
Hospital requesting a refund on
penalty and interest charges paid
on the redemption of the tax sale
certificates held by the City of Du-
buque against Lot 2 of Lot 1 of
City Lot 731 was referred to the
City Manager and City Treasurer
for an investigation and report.
We find from the records that
the assessment levied for the im-
provement of Dodge Street, desig-
nated Fund No. 323, was delinquent
in the amount of $76.99 on April
1, 1926,, at which time the City ac-
quired a tax sale certificate for
that amount. On May 4, 1938, St.
Joseph's Mercy Hospital redeemed
from this tax sale certificate by
paying $136.90 of which the City
of Dubuque received $132.98.
We, recommend that the matter
be closed by granting a refund of
the difference between $132.98 and
5% per annum interest charge from
April 1, 1926 to May 1, 1938, plus
advertising costs.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,

the recommendation of City Man-
ager Rhomberg and City Treasurer

Mercy Hospital to cover the
amount of refund granted on pen.
alty and interest charges paid on
the redemption of the tax sale
certificate held by the City of Du-
buque against Lot 2 of 1 of City

Van Duelman. Carried by the fol

Yeas—Mayor Clark, Councilmen

Na.,vs—None.
July 20, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the 803sion of
the City Council held July 12, 1938
the petition of Anna T. Spensley,
agent for Mary Alice, S. Weir and
Anne T. Spensley, trustees, and
Maria R. Spensley, requesting ad-
justment on the special assess-
ments levied against Lot 6 of Block
11 of Dubuque Harbor Company
Addition was referred to the City
Manager and the City Treasurer
for an investigation and report.
We find that an assessment was
levied for the improvement on
Dodge Street on October 2, 1929 in
Fund No. 868 in the amount of
$1,406.21 on which payments were
made in 1930, 1931 and 1932 for a
total of $562.49, leaving a balance
at that time of $843.72. No further
payments were made and on Feb-
ruary 3, 1936, the property was sold
to Dubuque County at a public
bidder tax sale for $421.86, plus
interest to date of sale of $202.47,.
plus 4% penalty of $24.97 on which
interest has accumulated from the
date of the sale, namely February
3, 1936, in the amount of $96.53,
or a grand total at the present time
of $745.83. Since the date of the
sale three installments remain de.
linquent and unpaid in the amount
of $421.86, plus penalties and in-
terest.
We recommend that the Dodge
Street assessment be settled by
two separate adjustments. The
first adjustment recommended is
that a refund be granted for the
difference between the amount nec-
essary to satisfy the scavenger sale
and $421.86, plus 5% per annum
from February 3, 1936, to the date
of the redemption, plus advertising
costs. The second adjustment rec-
ommended would be to have the
County Treasurer instructed to ac-
cept, in satisfaction of the install-
ments which have become delin-
quent since the date of this sale,
namely $421.86 at 5% per annum
from March 31, 1936, plus advertis-
ing costs.
We find that there was levied
against this property for the im-
provement of Main Street on March
27, 1934, in Fund No. 945 an as-
sessment of $510.90 from which a
reduction in the amount of $153.27
was granted, leaving a net bal-
ance of $357.63. No payments were
Special Session, July 20th, 1938 159
made of interest or principal for
this improvement. On February 3,
1936, Dubuque County bid the pro-
perty in for the delinquent inter-
est. Since that time two install-
ments of principal. of $51.09 each
have become delinquent and there
remain to be paid in the years
1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943 five
payments in the principal amount
of $51.09 each.
We recommend that the Main
Street assessment be settled by the
owner dealing directly with the
County on the certificates held by
the County on the interest involved
in the sale of February 3, 1936,
which amount is approximately
$45.19, and on the principal adjust-
ment a refund be granted follow-
ing the redemption of the property,
based on the difference of the
amount paid in find $357.63, plus
5% per annum from April 1, 1936,
and advertising costs.

Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Man-

Iowa Tavern Owners' Association,
addressed the Council stating that
the Dubuque Tavern Owners' As-
sociation realized that there were
too many taverns operating in Du-
buque and that this condition was
hazardous to the industry and detri-
mental to public welfare and fur-
ther stating that increasing the
fees for licenses without placing a
check on the number of taverns
would place a burden on the tav-
ern keepers and requesting that the
Council adopt an ordinance limiting
taverns in the City of Dubuque to
the number as provided by statute
and submitting a sample of said
ordinance.
Councilman Wharton moved the
adoption of the ordinance. Second-
ed by Councilman Van Duelman.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Clark, Councilmen
Murphy, Thompson, Van Duelman,
Wharton.
Nays—None.
Councilman Wharton moved that
the City Solicitor be instructed to
draft an ordinance limiting taverns
in the City of Dubuque to the num-
ber as provided by statute, said
ordinance to provide that such lim-
itation shall not operate to revoke
any permit or the renewal of any
permit in force upon the adoption
of the ordinance. Seconded by
Councilman Van Duelman. Carried
by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Clark, Councilmen
Murphy, Thompson,, Van Duelman,
Wharton.
Nays—None.

To the Honorable Mayor 1st., 1938
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the July 9th session of the
City Council, a motion was passed
referring the petition of Ellis Tin -
dell regarding the construction of
a porch and steps in the rear of his
home to the Building Commission-
er for investigation and report.
This case is unusual and I be-
lieve that Ellis Tindell is entitled
to a rear entrance for his home.
Owing to the topography of the
ground and location of his home he
can only obtain this by erecting a
porch and steps that will extend
into the alley at the rear of his
property a distance of three (3)
feet.
The alley is so steep that it is
very seldom used by cars or trucks
and the structure would not inter-
fere with any pedestrian traffic.
In line with the above facts I
would suggest that permission be
granted by ordinance in the regu-
lar manner and according to the
usual restrictions.
Respectfully submitted,
H. H. HOWIE,
Building Commissioner.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the petition be granted and
the City Solicitor to be instructed
to prepare a proper ordinance. Sec-
onded by Councilman Murphy. Car-
ried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Clark, Councilmen
Murphy, Thompson, Van Duelman,
Wharton.
Nays—None.
August 1st., 1938
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the July 20th session of the
City Council, a motion was passed
referring the petition of Andrew
D. Karigan regarding a loading
platform to the Building Commis-
sioner for investigation and report.
The alleys of the down town
business section present a prob-
lem that is becoming more diffi-
cult to handle every year. As ori-
ginally platted the alleys were 30
feet in width, but with a constantly
increasing number of loading plat-
forms being constructed we are
faced with a system of alleys that
are only 24 feet in width, due to
loading platforms on each side of
3 foot widths each.
Auto traffic is increasing and
parking space is more difficult to
find. The result being that more
cars are parked in the alleys.
Truck service is increasing and
we find more trucks in the alleys,
both unloading and parked.
The serious an;le is found in the
danger of delay to the fire depart-
ment and the evident failure of the
present city ordinances to prevent
the alleys from becoming totally
blocked.
The Telephone Company intends
in the next five to ten years to
remove all poles from the alleys
and then we ivilI be forced to
cause many platforms to be re-
moved. Only those platforms abso-
lutely necessary should be ap-
proved and then only after careful
study.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the session of the City Coun-
cil held August 1, 1938, the petition
of G. H. Atkinson, et at, requesting
the extension of electric service to
their residences on Maple Island
on the same basis as all the homes
In the city was referred to me for
investigation and report.
I have contacted the Interstate
Power Company officials, who re-
port that they are prepared to
prove that they would not be equit-
ably compensated on the basis re-
quested because of (1) the expense
involved in extending the distri-
bution system a considerable dis-
tance; (2) the limited revenue to
be derived; (3) the fact that the
revenue would not be stable since
most of the petitioners are tenants
and high river stages would fur-
ther limit occupancy of the resi-
dences.
Section 5 of the Electric Fran-
cbise Ordinance provides: "The
City of Dubuque reserves the right
to make all reasonable and proper
Police regulations concerning the
operation and construction of said
distributing system, and to order
reasonable and proper extension
of service, and to require said com-
pany, subject to reasonable rules
and regulations, to furnish any
person or corporation applying
therefor anywhere along the sys-
tem with electrical current for
heat, light, power or other pur-
poses."
The question in the instant case
IS: Can the extension requested
be deemed reasonable and proper
if the resulting revenue does not
economically justify the proposed
expenditure? In my opinion, it can-
not be so construed.
In view of the foregoing, I re-
commend to your Honorable Body
that the petition be denied unless
the petitioners can show that the
revenue would be compensable or
failing that, are prepared to under-
write some of the construction ex-
pense.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
to refer the recommendation of
City Manager Rhomberg to the
Council for further consideration.

August 11, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the meeting of the City Coun-
cil held June 30, 1938, the petition
of Charles Miller requesting the
vacation of Charles Street and at
the Meeting of July 12, 1938, the
petition of Wilbert Lange, et at,
protesting against the vacation of
Charles Street and requesting that
the alley between Broadway Exten-
sion and Muscatine Street be kept
open on the southerly end were re-
ferred to me for an investigation
and report.
I find, upon examination, that
the requests of both the petitioners
and the objectors can be accomp-
lished by vacating Charles Street
from the westerly line of Broadway
Extension to the easterly line of
the. alley and vacating from the
westerly line of the alley to the
easterly line of Muscatine street.
If this were done, the alley lying
between Broadway Extension and
Muscatine Street would !be open
from Putnam Street to Gay Street
and no property owners would be
inconvenienced. It is not likely
that any homes will be built facing
these portions of Charles Street
because the lots front either onto
Broadway Extension or onto Mus-
catine Street.
I recommend that your Honor-
able Body refer the matter to the
Planning and Zoning Commission
for their investigation and report.
The objectors have asked further
that a street be put through as a
W.P.A. project connecting Broad-
way Exteusion and Muscatine
Street. The improvement of Gay
Street from Broadway Extension to
Muscatine Street is included in our
present W.P.A. street program.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen.
At the session of the City Coun-
cil held June 30, 1938, the petition
Of Spahn and Rose Lumber Com-
pany requesting permission to
erect walls around their area ways
on the Washington Street side and
also on the Eighth Street side of
their building was referred to the
City Council and Manager to view
the grounds. The grounds were so
viewed on August 16th. The deci.
sion of the council was that the
petition be granted under the fol-
lowing conditions: That the area-
way on the Washington Street side
be raised from the building to the
west curb of Washington Street
and a suitable ramp built on both
the north and south sides of the
sidewalk adjacent to the areaway
and second that the Spahn and
Rose Lumber Company assume
any liability for injuries that may
occur to persons stumbling or fall-
ing over the proposed projections.
I recommend that the decision
of the City Council be confirmed.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,

RE: CLAIM OF MRS. EILEEN
ELLWANGER
Gentlemen:
At the meeting of the City Coun-
cil on August 1st, 1938, there was
referred to me for investigation
and report the claim of Mrs. Eileen
Ellwanger in the sum of Forty-
seven ($47.00) Dollars, for the loss
of a wrist watch at the swimming
pool on July 14, 1938, which loss
claimant alleged was caused by
the negligence of the agents and
employees of the city in charge of
said pool.
Please be advised that I have
Qnade an investigation of this claim
and the circumstances surround-
ing the same and find no liability
on the part of the city. Establish-
ment and maintenance of a swim-
ming pool by the city constitutes a
public or governmental function,
and in the operation of the swim-
ming pool, employees operating the
same are engaged in the perform-
ance of such function in exercising
governmental duties.
In view of this fact and in the
light of the evidence adduced from
the investigation made, I find no
liability on the part of the city,
and, therefore, recommend that the
claim be disallowed.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Solici-
tor Nelson be approved. Seconded
by Councilman Van Duelman. Car-
ried by the following vote:
Yeas—'Mayor Clark, Councilmen

Honorable Mayor

RE: CLAIM OF MRS. ANNA
SCHAUL
Gentlemen:
Prior to my assumption of that
office, there was referred to the
City Solicitor by the City Council
for investigation and report, the
claim of Mrs. Anna Schaul, in the
sum of Two Hundred Twenty-
eight and no -100 ($228.00) Dollars,
for damages resulting from her fall
upon the sidewalk on the Souther-
ly side of Thirteenth Street, be-
tween Iowa and Central Avenue,
alleged to have been caused by the
negligence of the City, in the
accumulation of rough ice and
snow at the place her said fall
occurred.
I have made an investigation of
the facts and circumstances sur-
rounding this claim, and find that
prior to the time of this fall, ice
had formed upon the sidewalk at
the place where Mrs. Schaul fell,
which ice was scraped from part of
the sidewalk in the vicinity of the
place of her fall, and thrown upon
other ice at the place of her fall,
and that her fall was caused by
,her stepping upon loose pieces of
ice upon smooth ice underneath,
which loose pieces of ice slid or
skidded when she stepped upon
them, causing her to fall.
The facts and circumstances and
evidence adduced from the invest-
igation indicate that negligence
might be impute to the City in this
case, and for that reason I respect-
fully recommend that the claim be
allowed in the sum of Twenty-five
and no -100 ($25.00) Dollars, and
that a warrant payable to Edgar
H. Willging, attorney for Mrs.
Anna Schaul, be drawn and de-
livered upon the execution by the
claimant of the enclosed receipt or
release.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,

RE: CLAIM OF HAROLD
BARRETT
Gentlemen:
On July 9, 1938, the City Council
referred to me for investigation
and report, the claim of Harold
,Barrett, in the sum of Twenty-five
and no -100 ($25.00) Dollars, for
damages to his store fixtures, and
stock in his store on Southern
Avenue, as the result of water flow-
ing into the rear of his store on
June 14, 1938.
I beg to advise that I have made
an investigation of this claim and
find that the water that flowed into
the Barrett store came from pri-
vate premises in the rear of this
store through a rock wall, part of
which had been washed away, and
which rock wall was not maintain-
ed by the city, and I find no liabil-
ity on the part of the city, and,
therefore, recommend that the
claim be disallowed.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Solici-
tor Nelson be approved. Seconded

Re: Claim of Gabriel F. Beck.
Gentlemen: On July 9, 1938,
there was referred to me by the
City Council for investigation and
report, the claim of Gabriel F.
Beck, in the sum of Fifteen and
no 100 ($15.00) Dollars for damag-
es to his garden on Southern Av-
enue, alleged to have been caused
by water overflowing from the
street into his garden on June 14,.
1938, on account of the inability of
the storm sewer on Southern Aven-
ue to take the water away.
I have completed investigation
In this case and find that there
was no stoppage or obstruction of
said storm sewer at that time, and
also find that the rainstorm on
June 14, 1938 was, in reality a
cloudburst, and that if any water
flowed upon claimant's garden as
the result of said storm it was not
due to any negligence on the part
of the City of Dubuque.
I find no liability on the part of
Special Session. A
the City in connection with this
claim, and recommend that the
claim be disallowed.
Respectfully submitted,

Gentlemen: Our State Legisla

ating a new retirement system for
Policemen and firemen in cities of
this State, which enactments were
applicable to the City of Dubuque,
amendments to the provisions of
the statutes then in force relating
to the pension system and pension
funds in force prior to the adoption
of the new retirement system and
by these amendments provided that
said cities shall levy sufficient tax.
es to meet all the necessary obli.
gations and expenditures of said
Pension funds, and further provid-
ed that such cities shall bind and
obligate themselves to the individ.
ual members of the police and fire
departments of said cities contri.
buting to the pension funds then
in force, guaranteeing that the rate
of contribution or payment of the
individual member of said police
and fire departments to said pen-
sion fund shall not be increased,
and also guaranteeing that the
present and prospective rights and
benefits provided for by said funds
shall not be abridged or lessened,
and also guaranteeing to all such
contributors, and to their surviving
dependents, all of the rights and
benefits, present and prospective,
as provided for by such pension
systems, and that the obligation of
each city for said rights and bene-
fits shall be a direct charge upon
the city.
The amendments so made to the
law in that session of the Legisla-
ture also authorized each city to
enter into a written agreement
with the individual members of the
police and fire departments, and
the surviving dependents of the
deceased members of said depart.
ments, guaranteeing said rights
and obligations of the city.
It has come to my attention that
no action has ever been taken by
our city in this regard,, in conform-
ity with the provisions of these
amendments made to the statutes
by this session of the Forty-fifth
General Assembly.
I believe, and am convinced that,
although the statutes now in f once
bind and obligate the City
Du-
buque in this respect, it would be
for the best interest of the City,
and would be conducive to the
maintenance and advancement of
the morale of both the police and
fire departments of our city, for
the city to enter into suchews
agree-

favorable to the vacation of

low spots be raised with rock fill.
4. Stine Street—Council agreed
that Stine Street and the alley con-
necting it with Merz Street be put
in passable shape.
5. Valeria Street—Council saw
no present need of extending the

6. Abbott Street—Council felt
that the cost of extending Abbott
Street to Seminary Street would
be too high considering the pos-
sible benefits and agreed that two
(2) blocks of Lowell Street should
be reconditioned.

found the work already completed

Council discussed the possibility
of improving the alley first west
of Cardiff Street to provide relief
to traffic from icy conditions in
winter.
10. Alley first west of Grand-
view Avenue from Perry to Brad-
ley—Council suggested that levels
be run and a grade established,
but could see no way to relieve
the condition complained of due
to the natural water way at the
site.
11. Rush Street—Council agreed
that Rush Street be oiled from
Holly Street to Apple Street.
12. Southern Avenue—Council
found drains from homes empty-
ing into the gutters, but felt that
some reconditioning be done to gut-
ters and shoulders of the street.

On
218 Special Session, September 20th, 1938
ferred to me for investigation and
report the claim of William Riley,
1068 Iowa Street, Dubuque, Iowa,
for damages on account of injuries
sustained by him as the result of
his slipping upon ice on sidewalk
in front of No. 753 Hill Street in
the City of Dubuque, on March 5,
1938, said claim alleging said in-
juries were due to the rough and
uneven condition of said sidewalk
covered with ice caused by the up-
heaval of said sidewalk by the
roots of a tree growing between
said sidewalk and curbing and due
to the defective condition of said
walk.
I have completed investigation
of this claim and find that the sur-
face of the sidewalk was raised by
the roots of a tree growing in a
small space between the sidewalk
and the curbing causing a very
slight sloping in the surface of the
sidewalk, which, on the morning
of the accident, was covered with
ice. The condition of the sidewalk
caused by this tree is such, that it
might be classed as a culpable d,r
feq, and, after making complete
investigation of this matter I re-
spectfully recommend that the
claim be allowed in he sum of
Thirty-five and no -100 ($35.00) Dol.
lars, and that a warrant payable to
William Riley be drawn in the
SUM of Thirty-five and no -100
($35.00) Dollars, and delivered to
him upon execution by him of the
enclosed receipt and release.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Nelson be approved and
that a warrant in the amount of
$35.00 be ordered drawn in favor
of William Riley as payment in
full of his personal injury claim
and that said warrant be delivered
to William Riley upon execution
by him of the enclosed receipt and
release. Seconded by Councilman
Wharton. Carried by the follow-

RE: CLAIM OF MRS. BARBARA
KARTMAN
Gentlemen:
On June 6, 1938, there was re-
ferred to me for investigation and
report, the claim of Mrs. Barbara
Kartman, for damages on account
of injuries sustained by her on
April 27, 1938, alleged to have been
caused by defect in West Third
Street just East of Hill Street. The
claim filed alleges that an auto-
mobile in which claimant was rid-
ing ran into one or two holes in the
street, and that in so doing claim-
ant was thrown against the inside
of the top of the car in which she
was riding,, and hereafter against
the edge of the seat upon which
she was riding, causing injuries to
her side, back and spine, and the
crushing of a vertebrae of the
spine.
I have completed investigation
of this claim and find that at the
time of this accident there were
two defects in West Third Street,
consisting of two holes close to
each other, one about two feet
(2 ft.) in diameter, and the other
about a foot (ft.) in diameter, each
Of these holes being in the neigh-
borhood of two inches (2 in.) in
depth. A picture of these holes
taken a few days after the acci-
dent is attached hereto.
In view of the fact that the holes
in this street might possibly be
considered as culpable defects, I
respectfully recommend that the
claim be allowed in the sum of One
Hundred Thirty-five and no -100
($135.00) Dollars, and that a war-
rant payable to Mrs. Barbara Kart -
man be drawn in the sum of One
Hundred Thirty-five and no -100
($135.00) Dollars, and delivered to
her upon the execution by her of
the enclosed receipt and release.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Nelson be approved and
that a warrant in the amount of
$135.00 be ordered drawn in favor
of Mrs. Barbara Kartman as pay-
ment in full of her personal injury
claim and that said warrant be de-
livered to Mrs. Barbara Kartman
upon execution by her of the en-
closed receipt and release. Second-

October 3, 1938.
Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Paragraph 17, Section 6669 of the
1935 Code of Iowa provides as follows:
"The City Manager shall keep the
Council fully advised of the financial
and other conditions of the city or
town, and of its future steeds." Ac-
cordingly I am submitting the follow-
ing information in connection with the
special election of October 6th on the
question:"Shall the City of Dubuque,
Dubuque County, Iowa, issue Bonds in
the sum of $230,010-00 to cover the ex-
pense of the erecting and equipping of
a Memorial Building under the provi-
sions of Chapter 33 of the Code of Iowa
of 1935 and amendments thereto?"
First. As yet no assurance has been
received that a grant will be made by
the Federal Emergency Administration
of Public Works on the application filed
September 9th. This leads to the ques-
tion as to the outcome if a favorable
vote results at the election and no
grant be forthcoming.
Second. The regional counsel of the
P. W A. at Omaha has informed me
that the Federal pu char ng sitesGovernment oes not

cost about 25% of the total, it is evi-
dent that additional bonding by the
city will be necessary.
Third. The publicity in regard to the
referendum states that it is estimated
that fees and rentals will provide for
the maintenance costs. This is con-
trary to the experience in other cities.
Your attention is directed to Section
490 which provides that a tax levy up
to 1 T/q mills or approximately $42,000.00
may be levied for the maintenance of
a memorial building.
I submit this information according
to the provisions of the law without
recommendation.
Respectfully submitted,

stairway as a means of approach to the
main or street floor on the Third Street
side of the rear part of the building on
the Southeast corner of Third and Main
Streets, said property being described
as the North 23 feet of Lot Eight (8)
in the City of Dubuque, Iowa, and
owned by said petitioner.
Investigation discloses that the own-
er of this building is desirous of divid-
ing the first floor space into two busi-
ness establishments, one fronting on
Main Street and the other in the rear,
and that in order to do so, and to gain
access to the rear part, it will be neces-
sary that a door be cut and a
platform and stairway be built be-
cause of the sloping condition of
Third Street just North of the build-
ing and because of the fact that the
alley in the rear of the building is much
lower than the main floor. It is pro-
posed to cut a door in the North, side
of this building, and build a platform
projecting out from the building and
over the sidewalk a distance of approx-
imately 40 inches from the building
line, and to connect that platform with
the sidewalk and a series of steps or
stairway.
I find from investigation that like or
similar privileges have heretofore been
granted by the City Council providing
for the erection of platforms and stair-
ways, both to the main floor and second
floors of buildings located on sloping
lots of this same character. However,
I desire to call the attention of the
Council to the fact that constructions
of this character might properly be
classed as obstructions in the street or
upon the sidewalk.
I call the attention of the Council to
the fact that an indemnifying bond is
required of all persons erecting signs
over the sidewalks, but that, so far as I
am able to ascertain, no indemnifying
bonds have heretofore been required
from the owners of the property who
have been granted the privilege, of con-
structing or erecting stairways project-
ing from the building line out into the
street, or unloading platforms project-
ing from the building into the alleys. It
would appear to me that stairways or
platforms are just as much of an ob-
struction as any sign and that the City
should be properly indemnified and pro-
tected by a bond indemnifying and sav-
ing harmless the City from any claim
from damage or injury because of the
existence of said stairways or platforms
projecting into the streets or alleys.
Furthermore, it occurs to me that the
granting of privileges such as this,
which must be done by special ordin-
ance, is a special privilege for the par-
ticular benefit of the applicant, and
that in cases of this character the ap-
plicant should be required to pay the
necessary cost of publication of the or-
dinance granting the privilege.
Respectfullv submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the communication of City Solicit-
or Nelson be referred to the City Coun-
cil. Seconded by Councilman Whar-

Whereas, a special city election was
held on the 6th day of October, 1938,
in the City of Dubuque, Iowa, pursuant
to the provisions of Resolution No.
95-38, passed and adopted by the
City Council of the City of Dubuque on
the 8th day of September, 1938, in ac-
cordance with the prayer of a petition
filed with the City Council, at which
election the following question or prop-
osition was submitted to the electors of
said City of Dubuque, as provided by
Chapter 33 of the Code of Iowa of 1935,
namely, to -wit:
"Shall the City of Dubuque, Dubuque

Whereas, the votes cast at such elec-
tion were canvassed by said City Coun-

said City Council called into session for

vass that more than 60 per centum of

Whereas, said petition, signed by the

filed with the City Council, and said
election so ordered held by the City
Council of the City of Dubuque with
the distinct understanding that the cost
and expense of the erecting and equip-

approximate the sum of $418,200.00, and
that the excess of said cost over and
above the amount of the bonds to be
issued in accordance with the proposi-
tion submitted and voted upon at said
special election, would be obtained or
secured by a federal grant from The
Federal Emergency Administration of
Public Works of the United States
Government and that said bonds in the
sum of $230,010.00 would be issued by
the City of Dubuque if and when the

Be It Resolved by the City. Council

Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At a special meeting of your Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission called
October 17th to act on oral request of
the State Highway Department through
Building Commissioner Howie for ex-
tension of Local Business District at
Grandview Avenue and Cascade Road
to allow certain expansion of their road
equipment storage facilities and garage
it was unanimously agreed to recom-
mend to your honorable body that the
Local Business District be extended
easterly to the center line of Rowan
Street and southerly to the center line
of Scully Street according to plat and
detailed description to be prepared by
Mr. Howie.
In this connection, the Planning and
Zoning Commission also recommends
that, if possible, the City Officials ob-
tain a promise from the State Highway
Department to landscape the Grand-
view Avenue side of their property with
the thought of concealing any space in
which miscellaneous road equipment
might be stored in the open.
It was also the sense of the Com-
mission that the State Highway De-
partment should pay the cost of publi-
cation, etc. ,involved in changing the
Zoning Ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,
R. V. McKAY,
Secretary Planning and
Zoning Commission.

Confirming our conversation of this
morning regarding the planting of
shrubs and trees to improve the appear-
ance of the portion of Lot 1 of Lot 1
of Lot 1 of Lot 1 of Mineral Lot 12
along Grandview Avenue, you may as-
sure the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion that the Highway Commision
will be glad to oc-operate -, ith the
Commission in landscaping the above
mentioned property as and when it is
used by the Highway Commission as a
maintenance yard. It is not our inten-
tion to allow our property to become an
eyesore.
Yours very truly,
L. L. CLEMENT,
Maint. Field Engineer.

To the Honorable Mayor and

Gentlemen:
On October 25, 1938, the City Coun-
cil viewed the grounds on a number of
petitions and requests throughout the
city. The situations viewed and the de-
cisions of the Council are as follows:
(1) Rowan Street—petition of Charles

grading this street.
(2) Alley between Grandview Avenue
and Bradley Street from Randall

1938—Council decided that the al-
ley be surveyed with a view to cor-
recting the drainage.

the time was not opportune for
such assessment.

November 7, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The petition of C. W. Nickles et al
of October 3, 1938, requesting a stop -
and -go light at 22nd Street and Central
Avenue and the petition of A. H. Smith
of August 30, 1938, requesting stop
signs at Seminary and Madison Streets
and a stop -and -go light at West 14th
and Main Streets were referred to the
City Manager for a report
Since the stop -and -go lights request-
ed are on State Highways, I contacted
the Iowa State Highway Commission
and after a field examination with its
representatives received the attached let-
ter. The Commission representatives
are opposed to any stop lights at West
14th and Main Streets, but have given
Permission to the installation of a sus-
pended four (4) way stop -and -go light
at 22nd and Central with the under-
standing that a four post stop -and -go
light be put in at West 14th and Locust
Streets. Stop signs have already been
erected at Seminary and Madison
Streets.
I recommend that four (4) post stop -
and -go signs be erected at West 14th
and Locust Streets and following such
installation the present suspended four
(4) way light be moved and erected at
22nd and Central Avenue.
Respectfully submitted,

City Manager.

recommendation of City Manager
Rhomberg be approved. Seconded by

November 7, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the session of the City Council
held October 24, 1938, the petition of
W. F. Cooper, for A. A. Cooper, Inc.,
requesting the Council to give serious
and special consideration to the parking
space on Highland Park, also called
Cooper Heights, was referred to the
City Manager for investigation and re-
port.
I have examined the records and find
that on the plat of Cooper Heights,
filed in the County Recorder's office on
December 30, 1925, there is shown a
flat iron shaped area in the center of
Cooper Place approximately 250 feet in
length and 40 feet in greatest width
marked "Park". The dedication is as
follows: "The foregoing Subdivision
of City Lots 691, 700, and East 100 feet
of 721 in the City of Dubuque, Iowa,
as appears on this plat is with the free
consent and in accordance with the de-
sire of the undersigned owner and pro-
prietor of said Real Estate, and we
hereby "Dedicate to the Public forever,
the Streets and Lanes thereon shown,
said Subdivision to be known and
named "Cooper Heights". Acknowl-
edged December 1, 1938. A. A. Coop-
er, Inc. (Seal) By W. F. Cooper, Presi-
dent and A. A. Cooper, Treasurer.
It appears from the plat and from the
assessments records on sewers and
street paving that the intent was to
consider the area marked "Park" as a
part of Cooper Place. If such is the
case, the city would be charged with
the upkeep of this area. I find no ref-
erence in the council record to any
promises to beautify the area. The
promises mentiond in the petition, no
doubt ,were verbal ones on the part of
city employees and not binding on the
Council.
I recommend that the city hereafter
cut the weeds on the parked area in
the center of Cooper Place and that if
any beautification of the area is con-
templated that such matter be discussed
with the Park Board.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

November 26, 1938.
Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Re: Claim and Suit of Vincent Sowle.
Gentlemen:
On February 8, 1938, there was filed
with the City of Dubuque, the claim of
Vincent Sowle for damages on account
of injuries alleged to have been sus-
tained by him on the 18th day of De-
cember, 1937, in a fall from the steps
leading from Cleveland Park to Bluff
Street Extension, in the City of Du-
buque, said fall alleged to have been
due to the defective condition of said
steps. This claim was, thereafter, re-
ferred to the City Solicitor for investi-
gation and report.
Thereafter, on or about April 21,
1938, suit was instituted by this claim-
ant against the City in the District
Court of Dubuque County, Iowa, for
damages in the sum of $20,000.00 on
account of injuries sustained in this
fall, which were alleged to have been
due to the negligence of the City of
Dubuque.
I have heretofore filed pleading in
the suit instituted in the District Court,
and have completed investigation of
this claim, and of said suit, and find
that there is some evidence of a defect
in these steps which might be sufficient
to warrant the issue of negligence in
the part of the City being submitted to
a jury in the trial of a case, and I have
conferred with the attorney represent-
ing claimant in this case, and have been
able to compromise and settle both the
claim and suit, including the dismissal
of the suit instituted in Court, at plain-
tiff's costs, for the sum of $199.20.
In view of the facts stated herein,
and of the condition of these steps at
the time of this accident, which condi-
tion might be considered as a culpable
defect, I respectfully recommend that
claim be allowed and the suit settled in
the sum of $199.20, and that warrant
payable to Peter W. Klauer, attorney
for Vincent Sowle be drawn in the sum
of $199.20 and delivered to him upon
execution by the said Vincent Sowle of
the receipt and release.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Ilfurphy moved that the
recommendation of City. Solicitor Nel-
son be approved and that a warrant in
the amount of $199,20 be ordered drawn
payable to Peter W. Klauer, attorney
for Vincent Sowle, as settlement in full
of the claim and suit of Vincent Sowle,
and that said warrant be delivered to
Peter W. Klauer upon execution by the
said Vincent Sowle of receipt and re-
lease. Seconded by Councilman Thomp-
son. Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Clark, Councilmen Mur-
phy, Thompson, Van Duelman, Whar-
ton. Nays—None.

ance granting to J. F. Stampfer Co., its

December 5, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the session of the City Council
held November 7, 1938, the petition of
Leo J. Diener requesting permission to
enclose the steps on the south side of
the Capitol Theatre Building was re-
ferred to the City Manager and Build-
ing Commissioner for investigation and
report.
We have examined the iron steps
erected on the sidewalk of the Kauf-
man Avenue side of the building and
find them in serviceable condition.
These steps are no different than nnm-
erous iron steps throughout the down-
town area that lead from the sidewalk
to apartments above. There may be
some justification for granting access
by steps from the sidewalk but this pe-
titioner proposes to erect an enclosed
stairway on the public property as a
part of the building and this, in our
opinion, would establish a precedent of
erecting parts of permanent buildings
oil the public streets especially in our
congested districts. We, therefore, rec-
ommend that the petition be denied.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
'City Manager.
H. H. HOWIE,
Building Commissioner.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of City Man-
ager Rhomberg and Building Commis-
sioner Howie be received and filed.
Seconded by Councilman Wharton.

December 5. 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the session of the City Council of
November 10, 1938, the petition of Syd-
ney Haudenshield, Administrator of the
Estate of Jacob Entringer requesting a
compromise settlement of the special
assessment levied against the East 30
feet of Lot 1 of Breakey's Addition was
referred to me for investigation and
report.
On investigation I find that a similar
petition on the same matter was before
the City Council on March 7, 1938, at
which time the request was ordered re-
ceived and filed. The assessment against
the above lot for the construction of a
sanitary sewer in Southern Avenue was
leviedon August 18, 1925, in the sum
of $47.64 on which interest of $1.29 to
March 31, 1928, was added and interest
and penalty since amounts to $21.44 or
a total delinquency of $70.37 as shown
in Special Assessment Fund 646.
The lot is improved with a frame
residence with stone foundation, two
story in front and one story in the rear.
Taking all these factors into considera-
tion I recommend that the petition be
received and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Wharton moved that the
recommendation of City Manager
Rhomberg be approved. Seconded by
Councilman Van Duelman. Carried by

Session, December 5th, 1938.
December 5, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Sirs:
At the meeting of the City Council
on November 17, 1938, the petition of
the Roshek Realty Company requesting
the City to work out some kind of a
guard to protect the fence erected on
the alley line of bots 1, 2 and 5 of the
Subdivision of City Lots 754 and
755, was referred to the City Manager
for investigation and report.
I have examined the fence and find it
erected exactly on the alley line. There
is evidence that vehicles parking in the
alley bump into the fence causing dam-
age. In view of the fact that a new
ordinance prohibiting alley parking is
pending I recommend that the Council
receive and file the petition at this time.
Respectfuly submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Wharton moved that the
recommendation of City Manager
Rhomberg be approved. Seconded by
Councilman Van Duelman. Carried by

Re: Claim of Mrs. Mary Welsh
Gentlemen:
There has been referred to this office
for investigation and report the claim of
Mrs. Mary Welsh, filed March 16, 1938,
in the sum of Two Hundred and
no/100 ($200.00) Dollars, for injuries
sustained by reason of a fall on an icy
sidewalk on West Locust Street, near
West Seventeenth Street, on the 22nd
day of February, 1938, alleged to have
been due to the negligence of the City
of Dubuque.
I have completed investigation of this
claim and beg to report that the evi-
dence adduced from the investigation
made, indicates that at the time of this
accident the sidewalk at the place of the
accident was covered with rough and
uneven ice, which ice was covered with
slushy snow at the time.
The condition of this walk was such,
that in my opinion a case of negligence
might be sustained, and, in view of this
fact I would respectfully recommend
that the claim be allowed in the sum of
Seventy-five ($75) Dollars, and that a
warrant be drawn in that sum, payable
to Mrs. Mary Welsh, upon her execut-
ing a release and satisfaction.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman 'Thompson moved that
the recommendation of City Solicitor
Nelson be approved and that a warrant
in the amount of $75.00 be ordered
drawn in favor of Mrs. Mary Welsh as
settlement in full of her personal in-
jury claim, payable upon her executing
a release and satisfaction. Seconded by
Councilman Murphy. Carried by the
following vote: Yeas—Mayor Clark,
Councilmen Murphy, Thompson, Van
Duelman, Wharton. Nays—None.

Re: Claim of John Kemp
Gentlemen:
On November 17, 1938, there was re-
ferred to me for investigation and re-
port, the claim of John Kemp for dam-
ages sustained by his automobile by
reason of the wheel thereof dropping
into a hole on Rush Street, on the 10th
day of November, 1938, while he was
driving over said street, for which dam-
ages were claimed in the sum of $4.40,
which were alleged to have been due to
the negligence of the City.
I have completed investigation of this
claim and find that there did exist in
said street, at the place of this accident,
a hole in the street of considerable size,
which amounted to a defect in the
street.
I would respectfully recommend that
the claim be allowed in the sum of
$4.40, and that upon the execution by
the claimant of a release, a warrant be
drawn payable to John Kemp in the
sum of $4.40.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson moved that
the recommendation of City Solicitor
Nelson be approved and that a warrant

Re: Claim of J. M. Davison, Jr.
Gentlemen:
On May 20, 1938, there was filed with
the City of Dubuque, claim of J. M.
Davison, Jr. in the sum of Twenty-five
($25) Dollars for damages for injuries
alleged to have been incurred on April
20, 1938, by reason of claimant stepping
on a loose cover of a manhole on the
Northeast corner of Seventh and Iowa
Streets, in the City of Dubuque.
I beg to advise that I have completed
investigation of this claim, and find
that there was no defect in this particu-
lar manhole cover, and no knowledge
on the part of the City that this partic-
ular manhole cover was loose, and from
all of the facts adduced from the inves-
tigation, I am of the opinion that there
is no liability on the part of the City,
and respectfully recommend that the
claim he disallowed.

Re: Claim of J. Howard Schiltz.
Gentlemen:
There has been referred to me for in-
vestigation and report, the claim of J.
Howard Schiltz, filed on November 28,
1938, for damages to his automobile in
the sum of Twenty-eight and 35/100
($28.35) Dollars, alleged to have been
due to the negligence of the City of
Dubuque on account of the slippery
condition of Bryant Street at the inter-
section of Dodge Street.
I beg to advise that claim does not
indicate when the accident happened,
excepting in so far as it is dated on
November 26, 1938, and that investiga-
tion made discloses that the slippery
condition of the street at the place of
this accident was due to rainfall or a
light snow which froze in its natural
state, making the street slippery, and
that the accident was not due to anv
defect in the street, or any condition
which would make the City of Du-
buque liable.
Due to all the circumstances, and
from the evidence ascertained, I am of
the opinion that the City of Dubuque
is not liable in this case, and, therefore,
recommend that the claim be disal-
lowed.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.

Re: Claim of Julius Bonz.
("cntlemeu:
At a meeting of the City Council
held on November 17, 1938, there was
referred to the for investigation and
report, the claim of Julius Bonz in the
stun of Five Hundred ($500) Dollars.
for personal injuries and damages al-
leged to have been sustained by him
because of an alleged unsanitary condi-
tion of the city jail in which he was
confined for part of the night on Sat-
urday, October 22, 1938.
I have made investigation of this
claim and am advised by the Police De-
partment of the City of Dubuque, that
the city jail, while old and in a base-
ment room of the City Hall, has been
kept as thoroughly clean as the condi-
tion of the building under the circum-
stances permit, and no evidence dis-
closed by my investigation indicated
that the condition of the city jail at the
time of plaintiff's incarceration was in
no manner the approximate cause of
claimant's alleged injuries.
Furthermore, I am of the opinion
that the maintenance of a city jail is a
governmental function and that under
the laws of this State, and the decisions
of the Supreme Court, a municipal cor-
poration cannot be held liable for fail-
ure to provide a prisoner with medical
attention, nor for the results of the
condition of the place of confinement.
Because of the decisions of our Su-
preme Court in the matter, I am im-

December 19, 1938.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the session of the Citv Council
held December 5, 1938, the petition of
G. H. Holscher requesting the City to
consider a compromise offer on the spe-
cial assessments due on Lots 3 and 4
of Block 9 of Grandview Park Addi-
tion was referred to the City Manager
for investigation and report.
I have examined the records and find
that tax certificate No. 496, against
above lots, was bought by Dubuque
County at the public bidders sale of
February 3, 1936. The real estate tax
is approximately $120.00. The special
assessments due for the improvement
of Bradley Street in Fund No. 641
amounted to $104.09 at the time of the
sale, February 3, 1936, to which 4ojo
penalty of $4.16 attaches plus straight
6010 interest on $108.25 to the date of
redemption.
In view of the fact that the tax title
will be taken to this property early in
1939, thereby eliminating the special
assessments, I recommend that the city
accept the compromise offer of $50.00
and that a warrant be ordered drawn
on the Improvement Fund for the
amount of the deficiency in the special
assessment including interest and pen-
alty.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of City Man-
ager Rhomberg be approved and that a
warrant in the amount of $77.25 be or-
dered drawn on the Improvement
Fund for the amount of the deficiency
in the special assessment including in-
terest and penalty on the special assess-
ments levied against Lot 3 and 4 of
Block 9 of Grandview Park Addition.
Seconded by Councilman Thompson.
Carried by the following vote: Yeas—
Mayor Clark, Councilmen Murphy,
Thompson, Van Duelman, Wharton.
Nays—None.
Councilman Thompson moved that
the petition of Peter Maas requesting
suspension of the 1937 taxes on Lot

I have completed investigation of this

ommend to your honorable body.

Re: Claim of Dan Heitz
Gentlemen:
On June 14, 1938, there was referred
to me for investigation and report the
claim of the above named Dan Heitz,
in the sum of $35.00, filed May 19,
1938, for damages to his automobile
sustained April 20, 1938, and alleged to
have been caused by the wheel of his
car dropping into a hole in the street
in Southen Avenue, by reason of which
said car turned over damaging the top,
fender and rear wheel, said damages
alleged to have been due to the negli-
gence of the City.
On September 20, 1938, there was re-
ferred to me by the City Council orig-
inal notice of suit instituted in the Jus-
tice Court of M. P. Hogan, involving
the same matter, which suit is still
pending.
I beg to advise that I have completed
investigation of the above claim and
suit, and find that at the time of this
accident there was one or two holes in
Southern Avenue at the place of this
accident, adjacent to a manhole which
extended above the surface of the
street, and that the accident was caused
when the right rear wheel of claimant's
car dropped into this hole, and then
struck the manhole, causing the car to
turn over, and that the damage to
claimant's car was sustained as alleged.
From the evidence disclosed by my
investigation, I am of the opinion that
there was a culpable defect in the street
at the time of this accident and I re-
spectfully recommend that the claim
and suit be settled from the sum of
$25.00 and that upon the execution of a
Special Session, December 19th, 1938.
receipt and release by the claimant, and
the dismissal of the suit instituted in
Justice Court, a warrant be issued pay-
able to Peter W. Klauer, attorney for
Dan Heitz, claimant, and delivered to
said attorney. I am returning the claim
herewith.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson moved that
the recommendation of City Solicitor
Nelson be approved and that a war-
rant in the amount of $25.00 be ordered
drawn in favor of Peter W. Klauer, At-
torney for Dan Heitz, as settlement in
full of the claim of Dan Heitz for dam-
ages to his automobile caused in strik-
ing a hole in the street on Southern
Avenue approximately two hundred feet
South of the Harold Barrett store, said
warrant to be delivered to said attor-
ney upon the execution of a receipt and
release by Dan Heitz and the dismissal
of the suit instituted in Justice Court.
Seconded by Councilman Murphy. Car-
ried by the following vote: Yeas—
Mayor Clark, Councilmen Murphy,

Re: Claim of Orland Driscoll
Gentlemen:
On June 14, 1938, there was referred
to me for investigation and report the
claim of the above named Orland Dris-
coll, in the sum of $75.00 for personal
injuries sustained by him on April 20,
1938, while a passenger in an automo-
bile owned and driven by one Dan
Heitz, alleged to have been caused by
the rear right wheel of said automobile
dropping into a hole on Southern Ave-
nue, which caused said automobile to
turn over, and by reason of which
claimant sustained a cut in his forehead
over his nose and left eye, necessitating
medical attention and loss of time.
On September 20, 1938, there was re-
ferred to me by the City Council orig-
inal notice of suit instituted in the Jus-
tice Court of M. P. Hogan, involving
the same matter, which suit is still
pending.
I beg to advise that I have completed
investigation of this claim and case and
find that at the time of this accident
there was one or two holes in the street
at this place of the accident and adja-
cent to a manhole which extended above
the surface of the street, and that the
automobile in which claimant was rid-
ing did drop into this hole and strike
this manhole and turned over, and that
275
?laintiff's injuries are as claimed.
I found upon investigation that the
holes in this street constituted what
might be termed a culpable defect, and
might properly be made the basis of a
suit. I, therefore, recommend that the
claim and case be settled, and that pay-
ment to the claimant of the sum of
$20.00 be made, and that upon the exe-
cution of a receipt and release by the
claimant and the dismissal of the case
filed in Justice Court a warrant be is-
sued in the sum of $20.00, payable to
Peter W. Klauer, attorney for claimant.
I am returning the claim herewith.
Respectfuly submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
'City Solicitor.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of City So-
licitor Nelson be approved and that a
warrant in the amount of $20.00 be or-
dered drawn in favor of Peter W. Klau-
er, Attorney for Orland Driscoll, as
settlement in full of the claim of
Orland Driscoll for personal inju-
ries received while a passenger in
the automobile of Dan Heitz,
which automobile struck a hole in the
street on Southern Avenue, approxi-
mately 200 feet south of the Harold
Barrett store, causing injuries to said
claimants forehead and nose, said war-
rant to be delivered to said attorney up-
on the execution of a receipt and re-
lease by Orland Driscoll and the dis-
missal of the case filed in Justice Court.

Re: Claim of Leona Kies
Gentlemen:
On January 17, 1938, there was filed
with the City Clerk the claim of Leona
Kies, in the sum of Five Thousand
($5,000) Dollars, for damages for per-
sonal injuries sustained by her on the
12th day of December, 1937, at about 4
o'clock P. M., by reason of her slipping
and falling on an accumulation of rough
and ridged ice upon the crosswalk in
the alley on the North side of Seventh
Street, between Locust Street and
Bluff Streets, in the City of Dubuque,
while claimant was walking in a west-
erly direction on the North side of Sev-
enth Street.
Thereafter, on the 21st day of Sep-
tember, 1938, suit was instituted by
this claimant against the City of Du-
buque in the District Court of Dubuque
County, Iowa, in the sum of Five
Thousand ($5,000) Dollars, in further
prosecution of this claim.
I have completed a thorough investi-
gation of this claim and suit, in so far
as the facts and circumstances would
permit as soon as my assumption to the
office of City Solicitor, and find that
claimant did sustain this injury on the
date and at about the time alleged, and
that she was assisted into the Elks Club
where first aid was rendered, and on
the following day, after an X -Ray ex-
amination, a fracture of her left ankle
was produced, and her leg immobilized
in a plaster casing for a period of six
weeks and that thereafter she was un-
der the care of a doctor for three and
one-half months, during which time
she was able to get about with the aid
of crutches for two and one-half
months, and with the aid of a cane for
another month, but was unable to fol-
low any gainful occupation since that
time.
Investigation further ascertained that
at the time of this injury Miss Kies was
employed by the Enduro-Tex Company
of New York City and was acting as a
demonstrator for said company at the
Roshek Department Store, and was
earning $25.00 per week and commis-
sion.
In order to ascertain the exact ex-
tent of claimant's injury and the per-
manency thereof, and with the permis-
sion of the claimant, I had her exam-
ined by a specialist and an X -Ray taken
of her ankle and limb on December 21,
1938, and find that claimant sustained
a fracture of the external and posterior
lip of the left tibia. An X -Ray taken of
claimant's ankle in February of 1938
showed bone atrophy of this region
which in the X -Ray taken December 21,
1938. was not indicated and that there is
but little evidence of permanent injury,
excepting that claimant still suffers pain
in this ankle joint and swelling of the
ankle upon any extended use thereof,
which results in difficulty in resting,
and which may continue for some time.
With respect to the condition of this
crosswalk at the time of the claimant's
injury, I have interviewed four different
witnesses including the officer who
made the investigation of the accident
shortly after it happened, and find that
at the time of the accident this cross-
walk was completely covered with hard
packed snow and ice about 3 inches
thick, and which was in a very rough,
uneven and ridged condition due to the
tramping of pedestrians, and the driv-
ing of trucks through the alley, and
that the condition of the crosswalk was
such as to constitute a culpable defect
and negligence on the part of the City.
The evidence adduced further indi-
cates that prior to the time of this ac-
cident the City had actual as well as
constructive notice of the condition of
this crosswalk.
In view of the facts and circum-
stances herein disclosed and the evi-
dence adduced from the investigation
made, I would respectfully recommend
that this claimant's suit be settled by
the payment to the claimant of the sum
of Five Hundred ($500) Dollars, and
that upon the execution of the receipt
and release by the claimant, and the
furnishing of a dismissal of the suit in-
stituted in the District Court, a war-
rant be drawn payable to and deliv-
ered to Milton J. Glenn, attorney for
Leona Kies.
I would further recommend that a
warrant be drawn in the sum of $4.75,
Payable to the Clerk of the District
Court of Dubuque County, Iowa, for
the costs of this suit.
Respectfully submitted,
AL. J. NELSON,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson moved that
the recommendations of City Solicitor
282 Special Session, D
Nelson be approved and that a war-
rant in the amount of $500.00 be or-
dered drawn payable to Milton J.
Glenn, Attorney for Leona Kies, and
that said warrant be delivered to Mil-
ton J. Glenn, upon the execution of the
receipt and release by the claimant
Leona Kies, and the furnishing of a dis-
missal of the suit instituted in the
District Court and also that a warrant
in the amount of $4.75 be drawn pay-
able to the Clerk of the District 'Court
of Dubuque County, Iowa, for the costs
of the suit of Leona Kies. Seconded
by Councilman Murphy Carried by
the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Clark,
Councilmen Murphy, Thompson, Van
Duelman, Wharton. Nays—None.
,there being no further business
Councilman Van Duelman moved to
adjourn. Seconded by Councilman
Thompson. Carried by the following
