September 2, 1941.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen—At the session of the
City Council held July 25th, upon re-
ceipt of the petition of B. L. Bauin-
hover, et al, the Manager was instruct-
ed to prepare a plat and schedule show-
ing the cost to be assessed against the
benefitted property for the construction
of a saniary sewer in Dodge Street
from the present manhole in Stetmore
Street easterly to a point approximately
90 feet north of the northerly line of
Fremont Avenue.
The plat and schedule were prepared
and presented to the Council on Au-
gust 21st and the problem of financing
the project was discussed. No action
was taken pending a determination of
whether the property owners would
pay in cash, since only $810.00 could
be collected on an assessment basis
because of the low / assessed valua-
tion of the property, against an esti-
mated total cost of $1,721.71. I have
contacted most of the property owners
and find that with the exception of the
petitioners, the owners are not able nor
willing to pay cash in full. Because
this project cannot be properly financed,
I recommend that the petition and the
attached plat and schedule be received
and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

recommendation of City Manager
Rhomberg be approved. Seconded by

the installation of a street light at the

On August 23rd the Council viewed
the site and decided that the present
street light at Atlantic and Decorah

position with respect to the enveloping
trees were improved. I recommend
that the decision of the Council be con-
firmed.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,

September 8, 1941.
Honorable Mayor and Member of the
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Re: Complaint of O. M. Schmid Estate
by B. C. Schmid and others.
An investigation of the above com-
plaint has been made and I herewith
submit a report of my findings.
A traffic count of the cars using the
intersection of 14th Street and Central
is self-explantory. It reflects however
that the flow of traffic is about all the
street can carry with the present traffic
control device in operation at this in-
tersection. I have been informed by
Mr. Bethke that many of the control
boxes are in need of replacement. I
would suggest that when they are re-
placed that a more modern type be Se-
cured, one which will be sufficiently
flexible to meet any traffic eventuality
which might arise.
As regards Busses, about 12 to 20
busses use this intersection each hour.
The average car volume as regards the
direction traveled by busses is in the
neighborhood of 1000 cars per hour.
The chief objection to the busses would
be the delay in picking up passengers.
It is suggested that a bus stop be pro-
vided on the east side of Central Ave-
nue just north of 14th Street. Busses
then will not interfere with the free
flow of traffic when picking up passen-
gers.
Special Session, September 11th, 1941. 223
In regard to horn blowing and other
loud noises emitting from vehicles it
would seem that there is no unusually
great amount of such in comparison
with the large flow of traffic over this
street. It would but take a surprising-
ly few of the cars blowing horns, etc.,
to cause annoyance to residents. I
don't believe there is justification for
any special police effort in this regard.
The horn blowing, etc. would be just
occasional as regards the individual of-
fender and I don't believe a conviction
with a penalty would hold in court.
That there is constant noise, there
is no doubt—however, wherever this
traffic would be routed the same con-
dition will prevail.
Respectfully yours,
JOS. H. STRUB,
Chief of Police.
Councilman Wharton moved that the
recommendation of Chief of Police
Strub be approved. Seconded by
Councilman Thompsn. Carried by the
following vote: Yeas—Mayor Van
Duelhan, Councilmen Murphy, Schuel-
ler, Thompson, Wharton. Nays—None.
September 8th, 1941.
To the Honorable Mayor and

urer, City Health Department, City

buque Playground report for the year
1941 is also included.
Respectfully submitted,

City Manager.
Councilman Thompson moved that
the reports be received and placed on
file. Seconded by Councilman Murphy.
Carried by the following vote: Yeas—
Mayor Van Duelman, Councilmen Mur-
phy, Schueller, Thompson, Wharton.
Nays—None.
September 11, 1941.
To the Honorable Mayor and

ent manhole in Stetmore Street easterly
and southerly to a point approximately
90 feet northerly of the northerly line
of Fremont Avenue has been worked
out by the interested parties entering
into a private contract for the construc-
ion of the sewer. For the record of the
City and the protection of the persons
paying for the construction of this sew-
er, it is necessa,y that proper proceed-
ings be made a matter of Council rec-
ord.
I recommend that an Ordinance be
drafted granting the interested parties
permission to construct a six-inch vitri-
fied tile sanitary sewer in Dodge Street
from the present manhole in Stetmore
Street easterly and southerly to a point
approximately 90 feet northerly from
the northerly line of Fremont Avenue
and regulating such permission. A pro-
vision should be included that applica-
tion must be made to the City Council
for the right to connect with this sewer
and that payment for the applicant's
proportionate share of the cost of con-
structing this sewer be established to
the satisfaction of the City Council be-
fore the right to connect shall be
granted.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,

To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen—Pursuant to the adver-
tisement, sealed bids were received un-
til 10:00 A. M., September 11, 1941,
for furnishing a 750 G. P. M. Triple
Combination Pumping Engine for the
Fire Department. At the session of the
City Council held the same evening,
the City Manager and Chief of the Fire
Department were instructed to prepare
a tabulation of the bids received and
to submit their recommendation for the
purchase.
Hereto attached is a tabulation of the
bids received, showing the prices and
the essential data on the various types
of equipment offered by the bidders.
We have studied the various bids and
recommend that the contract for the fur-
nishing of the 750 G. P. M. Triple Com-
bination Pumping Engine be awarded
to The Seagrave Corporation, their bid
being the lowest received. Should the
Regular Session, October 6th, 1941. 247
Council decide to purchase a cab, the
seven man cab is available for an ad-
ditional sum of $475.00, in which event
a credit of $290.00 would apply because
of the fact that the rear windshield and
the suburban loops could then be elim-
inated. This price for the added cab is
also the lowest price received for cab
equipment.

September 19, 1941.
Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen — With reference to the
Application for Class "B" Beer Permit
for Private Club, filed by the Nine -
Ninety Club together with the report
of Chief of Police directed to the City
Manager and Members of the City
Council, dated September 10, 1941, re-
ferred to me for investigation and re-
port, I beg to make the following re-
port:
The Statute provides:
"Sec. 1921.099. Power is hereby
granted to Cities and Towns . . .
to issue the Class "B" permits ...
within their respective limits."
"Sec. 1921.110. Beer Permits to
Clubs. Cities and Towns ... shall
upon proper application, issue to a
club within their respective limits
a Class "B" permit for the sale of
beer for consumption on the prem-
ises, subject to the provisions of
this chapter."
Sec. 1921.112 prescribes the kind and
character of application to be filed.
The form of the application filed in the
present instances meets the require-
ments of the Statute. The showing
made in the application, we find:
"2. Location of premises: 4th
Poor, 880 Locust Street, to be built
on the present building."
The report of the Chief of Police states:
"The premises to be occupied by
this club is to be the 4th floor, 880
Locust St., and is owned by Mr.
O. G. Schrup and occupied by him.
Special Session, October 10th, 1941.
To the best of my knowledge this
is a three-story building, the first
floor used in housing the Dr. Pep-
per Bottling Co. and the remaining
floors used for automobile storage.
There in no 4th floor."
If the Council should see fit to grant
the application for Class "B" Club Per-
mit in this case, the above is a techni-
cality which may be waived by provid-
ing, if and when such permit is issued,
the same shall be issued until such 4th
floor is built and ready for occupancy.
It further appears from the applica-
tion:
11
8, Is the Club operated for pecuni-
ary profit? No."
"9. Is the club a proprietary club?
No."
The report of the Chief of Police states:
"A number of persons whose names
are listed as members of this Club
have been interviewed concerning
the purposes for which this club
was organized. They state that
some time ag they were asked their
consent to have their names listed
as members for the purpose of or-
ganizing a club so as to enable
Stoltz and Zillig, operators of a
beer tavern at 234 West 9th Street,
to secure a club permit at some
future date. None of the persons
interviewed have ever attended
meetings, have never paid any dues,
nor know of, nor have received any
benefits."
"From the information obtained
through these interviews it is ob-
vious that the inherent purpose for
which this club was organized is
for the pecuniary gain of a few.
The persons interviewed are re-
sponsible citizens personally known
by the person submitting this re-
port."
The Statute provides (1921.111):
"b. No club shall be grarted a
Class "B" permit under this chap-
ter; if it is a proprietary club or
operated for pecuniary profit.
The application further states:
"12. Does the club have a perma-
nent local membership of not less
than 50 adult members? Yes."
"15. Was this application approved
by the majority of the bona fide
members of the club present at'a
regular meeting, or at a special
meeting, or at a special meeting
called to consider same? Yes.
The report of the Chief of police states
"These persons further state that
very recently they received through
the mail a letter stating that a
meeting would be held on Sept. 10,
1941, for the purpose of voting on
the question of a beer permit. They
were instructed in this letter that in
event they would be unable to at -
card
tend to use the enclosed post
251
voting in favor of same. The meet-
ing was to be held at 234 West 9th
Street, and the communication was
sent out by Geo. Zillig, Secretary
and Treasurer, who in partnership
with Ray Stoltz operate a tavern
at this address. A copy of this
communication has been given me
by the recipient thereof and is at-
tached to this report, together with
his statement denying membership
therein. Many of the persons inter-
viewed stated they would not at-
tend the meeting nor would they
interest themselves in any manner."
Sec. 1921.111 of the Code of 1941
provides that no club shall be granted
a Class "B" permit.
"d. Unless such club has a perma-
nent local membership of not less
than fifty adult members."
"e. Unless the application for such
permit is approved by a majority
of the bona fide members of such
club who are present at a regular
meeting or a special meeting called
to consider the same.
An opinion of the Attorney General
of the State of Iowa, rendered April
30, 1937, stated:
"It is our opinion that no club can
be granted a Class "B" permit un-
der the existing beer law unless it
complies with all the requirements
set out in Sec. 1921.111 of the Code.
The language of the Statute is
clear in its requirement that each
of the subsections is to be met."
"Sec. 1921.111 Class "B" Permits. No
club shall be granted a class "B" per-
mit under this chapter:
a. If thte buildings occupied by
such club are not wholly within the
territorial limits of the city, town
or special
licat oncharter
made; to
hich
such app provided,
however, that a golf or country
club whose buildings are located
outside the territorial limits of the
city, town or special charter city,
may be issued a class "B" permit
by the local board of supervisors,
and further provided, that all of the
permit fees authorized under this
paragraph shall be collected and
retained by the county in which
such golf or country club is located
and credited to the general fund of
said county and provided further,
that such golf or country
club
shall comply with the restrictions
containe in the succeeding para-
graphs of this section.
b. If it is a proprietary club, or
operated for pecuniary profit.
c. Unless it is incorporated under
the laws of the State of Iowa, and
its charter is in full force
regularly
ef-
fect, and/or excepting
brancheschartered nationally
incorporated organizat ons
252 Special Session, October 10th, 1941.
d. Unless such club has a perma-
nent local membership of not less
than fifty adult members.
e. Unless the application for such
permit is approved by a majority of
the bona fide members of such club
who are present at a regular meet-
ing, or a special meeting called to
consider the same.
f. Unless it was in operation as a
club on the first day of January,
A. D., 1934, or being thereafter
formed, was in continuous opera-
tion as a club for at least two years
immediately prior to the date of its
application for a Class "B" per-
mit."
.'►�' The report ofltl a Chief of, Police fur-
ther states:
"The' Vice President and the Sec-
retary Treasurer of this club as
named in the application are now,
and have been engaged in the tav-
ern business, as partners, at 234
West 9th Street, operating under
permit No. 40."
The Code provides:
"1921.102 Prohibited Interest. It
shall be unlawful for any person or
persons to be either directly or in -
interested in more than one
class of permit."
If the holder of a Class "B" permit is
also interested directly or indirectly in
a Class "B" Club Permit, this would
constitute a violation of the above sec-
tion and would subject the guilty party
to the provisions of Sec. 1921.129 which
provides for revocation of permits.
Also such violators, upon conviction,
would be subject to the penalties for
violation of the provision of Chapter
93.2, as provided by Sec. 1921.129 and
amendments thereto.
The City Council has the right to
grant permits to clubs when they are
satisfied that all of the requirements of
the laws have been met.
Respectfully submitted,

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council:
Gentlemen — Referring to attached
petition of Mrs. M. Palmer, et at, re-
questing "a change in the regulations
prescribed for such district with respect
to minimum area requirements so that
a building permit shall be issued au-
thorizing William Hammerand to pro-
ceed with the construction of such
house." This refers to a lot 40 feet
frontage, 180 feet deep, total 7,200
fe
square et at 2561 Jackson Street, ex-
tending back to White St.
At present, the district is a Two
Family Residence zone, and the lot
contains a double house (2561 Jackson)
facing Jackson St. Such double house
in a Two -Family District requires 7000
square feet under the present ordinance.
Thus there is but 200 square feet extra
for the single house which petitioner
wishes built to face White Street.
Even if zoned as Multiple Residence
would require 5000 square feet for the
double house facing Jackson Street and
gle houserfoeet faceor the WhitepStreet, dsin
ora
total of 10,000 square feet. Thus there
is a shortage of 2,800 sq. ft. for the de-
sired purposes.
272 Regular Session, November 3rd, 1941.
The Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion can see no way to provide relief in
such a case without breaking down all
family area requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance for the entire city. Such
action would be contrary to one of the
fundamental aims of Zoning and Plan-
ning, to prevent development of con-
gested areas.
Consequently, the Planning and Zon-
ing Commission sincerely recommends
to your honorable Body that the peti-
tiion be denied.
Respectfully submitted,
THE DUBUQUE PLANNING
AND ZONING COMMISSION,
RICHARD V. McKAY, Sec'y.
Councilman Murphy moved that the
recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission be approved. Sec-
onded by Councilman Wharton. Car-

To the Honorable Mayor and

Gentlemen — At the session of the
City Council held October 6th, the pe-
tition of , Leo H. Mohr, et al, requesting
an investigation of the condition of the
Bee Branch Sewer at the corner of
East 22nd Street and the railroad tracks
was referred to the City Manager for
investigation and report.
On the following day, October 7th,
Dr. C. L. Putnam and A. L. Bennett of
the State Department of Health came
here in response to a similar complaint.
The three of us investigated conditions
along the Bee Branch Sewer. The re-
port of the findings is in the. attached
report and correspondence. Briefly
stated the State Department of Health
declares that the situation is a nuisance
and that it is unhealthful and recom-
mends that an engineering study be
made of the feasibility of carrying the
packing house sewage into existing
sanitary sewers and if such a method is
practical, to require the Packing Com-
pany to collect the solids before they
enter the sanitary sewer line.
I recommend that the suggestions of
the State Department of Health be fol-
lowed in an attempt to solve the nuis-
ance condition in the Bee Branch storm
sewer.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

Rhomberg be approved. Seconded by

Duelman, Councilmen Murphy, Schuel-

Whereas, The City Administration,
through the City Council and the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission, has here-
tofore caused to be prepared and has
adopted a comprehensive Master City
Plan and co -related ordinances, which
plan contemplates general and specific
improvements of the river front, includ-
ing the area commonly known as Ham's
Island.
Whereas, This particular area is
practically all subject to overflow dur-
ing high stages of the river, thus auto-
matically bringing such property under
the jurisdiction of the Dock Board, ap-
pointed by the Council and acting un-
der the provisions of Chapter 303 of the
Code of Iowa.
Whereas, The Dock Commission has
realized for a long time that in order
to carry out the Master City Plan,
which involves the construction of a
barge canal between the mainland and
Ham's Island, as well as the construc-
tion of wharves, railroad sidings, roads
and other improvements and facilities,
it is necessary that the municipality be
the fee owner of all lands in the path
of and adjacent to any proposed canal.
Whereas, One of the properties most
vital in carrying out the contemplated
improvements, as provided for in the
Master Plan, is the property known as
the Papin Farm on Ham's Island, com-
prising Mineral Lots No. 301, No. 301A
and No. 302 in the City of Dubuque,
Iowa.
Whereas, The Administrator or Trus-
tee of the Papin Estate has been au-
thorized by a Court Decree to sell this
property to the City of Dubuque for
the sum of Five -thousand ($5,000.00)
Cash, and it is the unanimous opinion
of the members of the Dock Commis-
sion that the City should avail itself of
the opportunity to acquire this property
at this very reasonable figure; There-
fore, Be It
Resolved, By the Board of Dock
Commissioners that we petition your
honorable body to make the necessary
funds available and proceed forthwith
to complete the details of purchase and
secure proper deed from the duly au-
thorized party or parties without delay.

requested that the Mayor issue a
Proclamation designating Tuesday,

Day.
Proclamation
Whereas, it is an indisputable
fact that every man, woman, and
child in Dubuque County is eager
to contribute whole-heartedly to the
welfare of the brave men who are
now serving in the Armed Forces
of the United States; and
Whereas, the relief and rehabili-
tation of civilians and non-combat-
ants resulting from enemy attacks
are matters of major concern to all
Americans; and
Whereas, the fourth clause of
the Congressional Charter under
which the American Red Cross op-
erates the organization in time of
war "to act in matters of voluntary
relief and in accord with the mili-
tary and naval authorities as a
medium of communication between
the people of the United States of
America and their Army and
Navy.";
Now therefore be it resolved that
Tuesday, January 20, 1942, is of-
ficially proclaimed in the City of
Dubuque as Red Cross Day and
every Dubuquer is urged to contri-
bute as generously as possible in
order that the Dubuque County
Chapter of the American Red Cross
may collect $20,000—its propor-
tibnate share of the 50 million dol-
lars being raised in the nation for
the humanitarian and essential war-
time work of the organization.
Signed, this 5th day of January,
1942.

To the Honorable Mayor
.and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
With reference to attached peti-
tion of Harold E. Molo, et al, re -
requesting adoption of an ordin-
ance regulating the establishment,
conduct and location of junk yards
and specifically objecting to the
new Marmis and Solomon junk
yard on Salina Street just east of
the Maizewood plant, which peti-
tion was considered at a joint ses-
sion of the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council on
Friday evening, December 26, 1941,
the Dubuque Planning and Zon-
ing Commission respectfully reports
that whereas the said junk yard is
in a Heavy Industrial District, and,
whereas. the Zoning Ordinance of
Dubuque, Iowa, does not prohibit
junk yards in Heavy Industrial
Districts, therefore the Planning
and 'Zoning Commission feels that
it has no jurisdiction in the matter,
but respectfully recommends to
your Honorable Body the follow-
ing two steps to regulate such
situations:
(1) The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommends that the
City Council, acting under its pow-
er to restrain and prohibit nuisanc-
es (No. 5744, Code of Iowa) requir-
es that junk yards be enclosed by a
suitable tight fitting painted fence
or wall of a minimum of 10 feet in
height, constructed strictly in con.
formity with the City of Dubuque
Building Code, and maintained in
good order at all times.
(2) The Planning and Zoning
Commission further recommends
that Article VIII, Section 1 of the
Zoning Ordinance of Dubuque,
Iowa, be amended by adding to
the restricted uses another classifi-
cation reading
Regular Session, January 5th, 1942
11f9) Junk or scrap storage or
baling of paper, rags or metals."
Respectfully submitted,
R: V. McKAY, Secretary,
Dubuque Planning and Zoning
Commission
Councilman Wharton moved that
the recommendation of the Plan-
ning and Zoning Ordinance be ap-
proved and that the City Solicitor
be instructed to prepare proper or-
dinances as recommended. Second-
ed by Councilman Murphy. Carried
by the following vote: Yeas—May-
or Van Duelman, Councilmen Mur.
phy, Thompson, Wharton. Nays—
Councilman Schueller.
December 30, 1941.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Referring to attached petition of
Joseph C. Camm, et al, requesting
the rezoning to Two Family Resi-
dence classification of the Single
Family area bounded on the east
by the center line of Irving ana
Avoca Streets, on the north by the
center line of Decorah and Cherry
Streets, on the west by the east
line of the local business district
at Asbury Street and University
Avenue, and on the south by the
north line of local business district
on University Avenue between As-
bury and Irving Streets, the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission re-
spectfully recommends the denial
of the petition.
A check of the individual lot
areas in the district involved shows
that but three pieces of property
out of fourteen have the prescrib-
ed area for two family residences
even if the ordinance were chang-
ed. Such a change would therefore
require endless adjustments and
concessions by the Board of Adjust-
ment before two family residences
might be constructed and this pro-
cedure would undermine or cir-
cumvent the fundamental objects
and principles of the Zoning Or-
dinance.
Respectfully submitted,
R. V. McKAY, Secretary,
Dubuque Planning and Zoning
Commission
Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission be ap-
proved as read. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Wharton. Carried by the
following vote: Yeas—Mayor Van
Duelman, Councilmen Murphy,
Schueller, Thompson, Wharton.
Nays—None.
December 30, 1941.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen:

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
With reference to the application
of Mettel Realty and Investment
Co. offering to pay $25.00 to have
the records of the special assess-
ments against Lot 13 in McClain's
Subdivision in Dubuque, Iowa re-
leased, this property went to tax
sale and if the requirements of the
Statute were met in securing the
Tax Deed, the special assessments
are no longer liens against this
property.
I would recommend that the re-
quest of the petition be granted
and that upon the payment of $25.00
to the City of Dubuque, a cancella-
tion be made upon the records in
the offices of the County Treasur-
er and County Auditor of the spe-
cial assessments levied against the
real estate in question.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
With references to the Applica-
tion of Swift and Company offer-
ing to pay the special assessments
for the improvement of Dodge
Street against• City Lots 549,
549A and 550, by paying within 30
days from the date of the Applica-
tion, the full total principal of all
of the said assessments which have
not been paid, and requesting that
a cancellation be made in the offic-
es of the County Treasurer and
County Auditor when such pay-
ment is made; this property has
gone to Tax Deed. If the require-
ments of the Statute have been
complied with in securing the Tax
Deed for back taxes, then the lien
of the taxes for special assessment
is of no further force or effect.
I would recommend that the of-
fer by Swift and Company to pay
the principal amount of the bal-
ance due on the assessments within
30 days from December 24, 1941 be
accepted, and that a proper record
of such cancellation be made in

Dear Sir:
This will acknowledge receipt of
Resolution No. 163-41, pertaining
to installation of electrically oper-
ated flashing light and rotating
disk stop crossing signals at 29th
Street in the City of Dubuque.
In the past number of years such
crossing protection has been install-
ed with Federal Funds. I am in re-
ceipt of advice from the Iowa State
Highway Commission that in view
of recent developments with re-
spect to Federal requirements there
is no prospect of including this
project in an early program unless
it is vital to National Defense.
We will keep this matter in mind
and at the first opportunity do all
we can to secure necessary funds
to make the desired installation.
Yours very truly,
S. M. GOLDEN.

requesting the City to accept the
assessments with interest against
his property at 2120 Grace Street
for the paving of both Grace and
Algona Streets and further request-
ing that the penalties be cancelled

and City Treasurer for investiga-
tion and report.
We have searched the records

925) for the paving of Grace Street.
Two installments of $15.00 each
were paid for Algona Street and one
installment of $16.65 was paid for
Grace Street. The following is the
status of the delinquent special as-
sessments if payment is made by
March 15, 1942:
Fund 921 Fund 925

be ordered drawn in the amount of
$128.92 on the Improvement Fund
in payment of the penalties.

Honorable Mayor and City Council,

In re: Claim of Mrs. Theresia
Krueger.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the above claim which has been sub-
mitted to me for investigation. The
investigation shows that Mrs. Krue-
ger, in going from Garfield Avenue
toward Rhomberg Avenue on the
South side thereof, tripped over
part of the cement sidewalk, which
has been raised by the roots of a
tree, and fell to the sidewalk; that
she received injuries which required
the attention of a physician; that
the physician's bill amounts to
$48.50 and other actual expenses
amounts to about $15.00; that Mrs.
Krueger has been unable to go out
to do work that she did before the
accident; that she has agreed to ac-
cept $75.00 in full payment for her
claim against the City; that I feel
that the City is liable and that her
claim should be paid.
I therefore recommend that her
claim should be allowed in the sum
of $75.00, and that a Warrant be is-
sued for that amount and delivered
to her upon the execution of a pro-
per release to the City.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER.
Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Solic-
itor Kintzinger be approved and the

claim and that said warrant be de-
livered upon receipt of a proper re-
lease. Seconded by Councilman

MENT BONDS
Dear Mr. Kintzinger: Your tele-
phone call this morning advised
that my report on examination of
transcript in connection with the
$8,000.00 of bonds in the above mat-
ter was referred to you. I further
understood that you have concluded
that, due to the defect in the notice
of the sale of bonds, it is proposed
to suggest to the City that the
bonds be readvertised for sale.
I have communicated your sug-
gestion to the Carleton D. Bell Co.,
and the Company has authorized
me to advise you and the City that
it will be satisfactory to them for
the bonds to be again offered for
sale. Will you kindly forward to
the Bell Company advice of the new
date of the proposed sale?
The papers submitted are being
retained pending the results of the
above proposed action.
Very truly yours,
HNR:JB H. N. ROGERS.

DUBUQUE, IOWA,
STREET IMPROVEMENT BONDS.
Dear Mr. Shea:
This will acknowledge receipt of
the transcript forwarded with your
letter of February 18, 1942, in the
above matter and, upon examina-
tion, kindly permit me to call atten-
tion to the following:
1. Showings should be submitted
to supplement the transcript indi-
cating whether the Council meet-
ings at which the street improve-
ment matters were considered were
regular or special sessions and, if
special, showings should be sup-
plied of timely service of proper
call of such meeting, designating
the time, place and purpose. The
meetings particularly referred to
are those of September 2 and 22,
October 10 and 22, December 1 and
26, 1941.
In showing the roll call a figure
1 and a figure 2 have been noted
in front of certain Councilmen's
names, which apparently indicate
that the Councilman with the figure
1 preceding his name made the mo-
tion and the other Councilman
where the figure 2 appears second-
ed the motion. Let your certificate
confirm this assumption if it be
correct.
2. Resolution 117-41 overruling
objections and approving plans,
specifications and contract recites
that the meeting of September 22,
1941, at which the resolution was
adopted, was a special meeting held
at 8:45 o'clock P. M. The publish-
ed notice of the hearing and reso-
lution 107-41 both show that the
hearing and Council meeting was
to be on the date mentioned at 7:30
o'clock P. M. Kindly verify and
supplement the record to show what
action was taken at 7:30 o'clock
P. M.
Coni.
3. Minutes of the Council meet-
ing and resolution adopted fixing
the time and place of receiving bids
and making the award for the con-
struction should be submitted. (The
resolution 118-41 ordering adver-
tisement for proposals fails to fix
the time and place of letting.)
t, 4. Resolution 128-41 awarding
i. contract for construction to Thomas
94 Regular Session, April 6th, 1942
Flynn Coal Company, passed Octo-
ber 22, 1941, recites that it was ap.
proved October 10, 1941, and placed
on file for one week. Show minutes
of meeting of October 10, 1941, and
proceedings then had to that effect.
5. The bid of the only contractor,
Thomas Flynn Coal Company, was
$19,308.10, and the contract was
awarded accordingly. Section 6006
of the Code of Iowa requires the
construction bond to be in an
amount equal to the contract price.
The copy of the bond set out in the
transcript is for $13,477.95 and re-
cites that it is for 75% of the total
contract price. Verify, for as the
matter appears from the transcript,
inadequate bond has been furnish-
ed. Show action taken by the Coun-
cil relating to approval of executed
contract and contractor's bond.
6. Resolution 128-41 awarding
contract, and Resolution 161-41
making the levy of special assess-
ments, were each passed with three
"Yea" votes and two "Nay" votes.
Councilman Schueller and Council-
man Van Duelman voted against
the award and the levy. If possible;
it is desired that an explanation of
their negative votes on these mat-
ters be procured from these Coun-
cilmen.
7. A certificate signed and sealed
by the County Auditor should be
furnished showing filing of a cer-
tified copy of the resolution direct.
ing the construction of the improve.
ment and a copy of the plat and
schedule in his office, to show com-
pliance with Section 6007 of the
Code. (The certificate in the trap.
script does not identify these mat.
ters. )
8. The notice to bidders and the
form of proposal included 100 cu.
Yds. class B concrete, 1,000 sq. ft.
concrete sidewalks and 150 sq. yds.
concrete driveways, in addition to
other matters. The City Manager's
certificate of November 20, 1941, re.
cites that the work was completed
in accordance with the contract and
complies in e v e r y way with the
plans and specifications, but the
above several items are not includ-
ed in the itemized list of work done.
While the matters were on a unit
basis, the certificate of completion
shows 674 lineal feet of curb against
a contemplated 300 lineal feet in the
bid, 8,508 sq. yds. of sheet asphalt
against a contemplated 8,422 sq.
yds., 227.8 tons of binder against a
contemplated 300 tons. Thus in two
of the items that were performed
by the contractor there is an un.
usually large variation from the
estimated amounts. Kindly have a
certificate furnished by the City
Manager explaining this whol,:
situation.
9. The transcript includes a copy
of a petition for investigation of
the performance of the contract pur.
suant to Section 358 of the Code.
The transcript further shows that
the State Board of Appeal referred
the matter to the Attorney -General,
but -that the State Board took no
other action whatsoever to show
whether it would or would not com-
ply with the petition. The Attorney
General's opinion set out in the
transcript is to the effect that the
State Board of Appeal is without
jurisdiction to act. The Attorney
General's opinion is based on the
decision of our Supreme Court in
the case of Schumacher vs. City of
Clear Lake, 214 la., 34. The report
of the City Clerk of the matter to
the Appeal Board, however, refers
to a copy of a petition filed with
the Council objecting to the levying
of special assessments and to the
issuance of Special Assessment
Bonds. Petitions to this effect are
a different matter from the petition
above referred to under Section 358
of the Code.
10. Minutes of the Council meet-
ing and proceedings had directing
the giving of notice of intention to
issue the bonds should be supplied.
The notice of intention to issue the
bonds which appears to have been
published is pursuant to Sections
363 et seq. of Chapter 23 of the
Code, as amended. Five or more
taxpayers are permitted under that
law to file objections to the issu-
ance of the bonds. As a petition of
objections was filed, then the mat-
ter of issuing the bonds should have
been certified to the State Appeal
Board. Showings of the petition in
this connection referred to by the
City Clerk and the action of Coun-
cil and the State Appeal Board pur-
suant thereto should be supplied.
The Resolution 162-41 authorizinh
the bonds, in the preamble, recites
that all objections filed to the issu-
ance have been considered and de-
termined. If a proper petition was
filed, then the determination would
have to be by the State Board )f
Appeal as to whether the bonds
might be issued. It is submitted
that the question of issuing bonfls
and the jurisdiction of the Stale
Board of Appeal on the matter of
issuing bonds was not involved in
or decided by our Supreme Court
in the case of Schumacher vs. City
of Clear Lake above referred to.
11. The transcript sets out a cer.
tificate of special assessment which
fails to set forth those matters re-
quired by Section 6034. It appar-
Regular Session, April 6th, 1942 95
ently refers to Section 825 of the
,Did law instead of Section 6032. As
the certificate is worded, those as-
sessments not having proper waiv-
ers would all be payable with the
March, 1943, semi-annual tax pay-
ment. This is not in accordance
with said Section 6032. It is import-
ant, therefore, that a proper certif-
icate and setup of the installment
payments of the unpaid assessments
be furnished the County Auditor
and to the County Treasurer for
collection. Perhaps such has been
done, but an explanatory or cor-
rected certificate should be sup-
plied.
12. Minutes of Council meeting
of February 11, 1942, and action
taken with respect to sale of bonds
and showing award should be sub-
mitted. Notice of the sale of bonds,
as shown by affidavit in the tran-
script, refers to the date of the sale
as 10 A. M., February 11. The no-
tice should have recited the year as
well as the day and month. In view
of this omission, showing should be
furnished as to the number of bid-
ders who attended the sale and bid
for the issue of bonds.
13. The resolution authorizing
the bonds was for an issue of
$18,539.45. Bonds to the amount of
$8,000.00 of certain numbers only
were ofYered for sale. It is assumed
that the balance of the bonds pro-
posed to be issued will be canceled
and not issued. Kindly show Coun-
cil action to this effect. Showing
should be submitted to show the
condition of the special assessments
against which bonds are being is-
sued, as follows:
Amount of assessments f r o in
which appeals were taken, if any.
Amount of assessments paid in
cash, including assessments of less
than $10.00.
Amount of unpaid assessments to
be paid in installments a g a i n s t
which bonds are to be issued.
Please bear in mind that assess-
ments under $10.00 and assessments
against City property cannot be in-
cluded in the amount against which
bonds are issued. In view of the
fact that probably many assess-
ments have been paid which ac-
counts for the reduction of the
amount of the issue, a list of the
unpaid assessments against which
the bonds are to be issued should
be furnished. The preliminary sche-
dule sets out valuation of the pro-
perties assessed but the printed
headings would indicate that the
valuation is one-fourth of the value
of the property. There is no legs
reason why the valuation should be
one-fourth of the total value fixed
by the Council. It is noted that
many of the assessments are in ex-
cess of 25% of the valuation report-
ed and in some cases the assess-
ment is in excess of the value of the
property as shown. No value is
shown for Lot 7 of Subdivision 8
of M. L. 73. These matters should
be cleared up as fully as possible.
As to list of assessments against
which bonds are to be issued, there
should be furnished a certificate
showing that there are no appeals
pending, prayed or threatened as to
such assessments and that there
are no unredeemed tax sales against
the properties so assessed, and that
there have been no orders received
by the County Treasurer from the
Board of Supervisors for the sus-
pension of the collection of taxes
against any aged or infirm persons
whose properties are affected by
said special assessments.
14. The usual papers showing ab-
sence of litigation and that unpaid
assessments in an amount equal to
or greater than the amount of bonds
being delivered, together with an
executed bond, will need to be sub-
mitted.
Very truly yours,
H. N. ROGERS.

To the honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:
On September 24, 1920, the City
of Dubuque attempted to convey
Lot 1 of the Subdivision of Lot 7
in Smyth's Subdivision to the City
of Dubuque, according to the re-
corded plats thereof, the Sinope In-
vestment Corporation, for the con-
sideration of $650.00, and w h i c h
deed was filed October 5, 1920, and
recorded in Bk. 87, T. L. page 363,
records of Dubuque County, Iowa.
This deed was signed by the then
Mayor of the City of Dubuque and
the then Manager thereof. It was
defectively acknowledged, and the
Notary attempting to take the ac-
knowledgment was then also acting
as City Clerk, and the deed fails to
show a seal attached.
Under the Provisions of Ordin-
ance 81 of the Revised Ordinances of
1919, deeds executed in behalf of
the City must be signed by the
Mayor or Mayor pro tem, and at-
tested by the Recorder. This Or-
dinance was amended by Ordinance
No. 19 of the Ordinance of the year
1939, substituting the words "City
Clerk" for the word "Recorder."
Inasmuch as the City of Dubuque
received full value for said prop
Y erty, and the failure to execute and
deliver proper deed to the then pur-
chaser was a mere inadvertence and
clerical error, Your petitioner re-
n spectfully prays that your honor-
able body take proper action in the
Y adoption of a Resolution directing
the Mayor and the City Clerk to
execute and deliver correction deed
122 Regular Session, June 1st, 1942
in form submitted, running to the
present owner ofL said property.
Petitioner.
By E. H. Willging,
His Attorney.
Councilman Schueller moved that
the petition be made a matter of
record. Seconded by Councilman
Murphy. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas—Mayor Wharton, Council-
men Murphy, Schueller, Thompson,
Van Duelman.
Nays—None.
Resolution No. 54-42
Be It Resolved by the City Council
of the City of Dubuque, Iowa:
Whereas, it appears from a peti-
tion filed herein by L. A. Walch
that a deed was executed by the
City of Dubuque to Sinope Invest-
ment Corporation under date Sep-
tember 24, 1920, filed October 5,
1920, and recorded in Bk. 87, T. L.
page 363 of the records of Dubuque
County, Iowa, and that through in-
advertence and mistake said deed
was signed by the then Mayor and
by O. E. Carr, City Manager, and
that said deed should have been
executed by the Mayor and by the
then City Recorder, and it further
appears that the seal of the City
was omitted from the said deed, all
as required by the provisions of
Ordinance 81 of the Revised Ordin-
ances of 1919 of said City, and
Whereas, it further appears that
the consideration paid for said
transfer was $650.00 and represent-
ed the then full value of the prop-
erty conveyed, and being Lot 1 of
the Subdivision of Lot 7 in Smyth's
Subdivision to the City of Dubuque,
according to the r e c o r d e d plat
thereof; and, whereas, it now ap-
pears that the present owner of said
property, for the purpose of correc-
tion of title, deems it necessary and
advisable that a correction deed be
had from the City of Dubuque, Iowa,
to said owner, and it further ap-
pears that Possession of said prop-
erty has been had continuously
since the execution of said deed in
the then grantee and his successor
grantees, and that the City of Du•
buque has no further interests,
claims, or demands in relation tc
said property or the use thereof
and that action to quiet title woulc
probably result in the establish
ment of title in the present owner
but which action would involve ex
pense and delay, and would not b(
beneficial to said City.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, tha
the Mayor of the City of Dubuque
Iowa, be, and he is hereby author
ized and directed to execute and de
liver correction deed in form sul;
pitted to this Council, and said
leed to be attested by the City
;lerk of the City of Dubuque, Iowa,
,nd to have the seal of the City
hereto affixed, conveying to L. A.
1Valch the hereinbefore described
)roperty, and that said deed be de-
ivered to the said L. A. Walch.
Passed, adopted and approved
his 1st day of June, 1942.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque.
The undersigned, Mona Walker,
has been until recently the owner
of the Northerly 32 feet of the West-
erly 45 feet of Lot 47 and the South
Half of vacated alley immediately
North of and adjoining said prop-
erty in Julia L. Langworthy's Addi-
tion in the City of Dubuque, Iowa.
That she sold the same two weeks
ago to Sherman T. Mayne and
Catharine Mayne, husband and wife
as joint tenants with right of sur-
vivorship and not as tenants in com-
mon, and objection has been made
to the title with respect to the
South Half of vacated alley imme-
diately North of and adjoining said
property. The reason for said ob-
jection is that said alley was va
cated by the City of Dubuque in
1914, the ordinance providing, "and
the same is hereby vacated and an-
nulled and the permanent use of the
respective portions thereof adjoin-
ing the various lots abutting there-
on is hereby granted to the owners
and proprietors of said lots as con-
templated by statute in such cases."
However, no deed to the same by
the City of Dubuque by quit claim
or otherwise has ever been issued
to the owner of the real estate im-
mediately abutting thereon, and to
Perfect the title at this time there-
fore, your Honorable Body is re-
spectfully petitioned to execute,
pursuant to said ordinance, a quit
claim deed to Sherman T. Mayne
and Catharine Mayne, husband and
wife, as joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in
Regular Session, June 1st, 1542 123

vacated alley immediately North of

We have searched the records

the Spruce Street and Wilbur
,Street improvements are delin-
quent. The status of the special as-
sessments, if paid by June 15, 1942,

To the Honorable A. A. Rhomberg
and Members of the City Council.
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: B e c a u s e of com-
plaints as regards traffic conditions
in certain places and, after due
study and consideration, the fol-
lowing recommendations are here-
with submitted:
That stop signs be erected at 9th
and Iowa Streets to govern east and
west traffic.
That at the intersection of Loras
and University Avenue the stop
sign be changed to stop west bound
traffic on Loras Boulevard.
At Asbury and University a slow
sign is suggested, and if a stop sign
were used it should be erected to
stop east bound traffic on Univer-
sity. In spite of complaints of near
accidents on this location, none
have occurred.
Since the changing of bus routes
it is suggested that East 14th Street
from Central Avenue to Elm be
made a boulevard, and thence Elm
Street from East 14th to East 20th
Streets be also designated a boule-
vard.
The results of traffic checks are
attached for your study.
Respectfully yours,
JOS. H. STRUB,
Chief of Police.

Resolution No. 60--42
Resolution and application for au-
thority to levy all 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, 1943 and ending
March 31, 1944 including the pay-
ment of principal and interest up-
on 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, Payment of $65,000.00
n principal, and of $8,900.00 in
ntereat are to be made during the
fiscal year beginning April 1, 1943
and ending March 31, 1944 from the
unds embraced in the consolidated
ax levy; and
Whereas, The inadequacy of the
evenues for ordinary purposes re-
maining after the payment of such
principal and interest constitutes an
emergency which requires the levy
of an emergency tax and this Coun-
cil considers the levy of an emer-
gency tax of five-eighths (%) mill
to be absolutely necessary:
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved
by the City Council of the City of
Dubuque, that the State Comptrol-
ler be and he is hereby requested
to authorize and approve the levy
of an emergency tax of five-eighths
mill in the year 1942 to be approxi-
mately $22,215.00, the same to be
used in supplementing the funds re-
quired for debt service and in the
manner provided by law.
The foregoing resolution was
adopted at a special meeting of the
City Council of the City of Du-
buque on the 30th day of June,
1942.

Resolution No. 60-42
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, 1943, and ending
March, 31, 1944, including the pay-
ment of principal and interest up-
on 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 govern.
ment; 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 $65,000.00
in principal, and of $8,900.00 in in-
terest are to be made during the
fiscal year beginning April 1, 1943
and ending March 31, 1944, from the
funds embraced in the consolidated
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 levy
of an emergency tax and this Coun-
cil considers the levy of an emerg-
ency tax of five-eighths (°lea) mill to
be 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 here-
by requested to authorize and ap-
prove the levy of an emergency tax
of five-eighths mill in the year 1942
to be approximately $22,215.00, the
same to be used in supplementing
the funds required for debt service
and in the manner provided by law.
The foregoing resolution was

Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the report of the Board of Review
referred to the undersigned for in-
"7129 Local Board of Review ....
The Board shall meet on the first
Monday of April, at the office of
the township, city or town clerk
or recorder, and sit from day to
day until its duties are completed,
which shall be not later than the

assessments for the township,
city or town by raising or lower-
ing the assessment of any person,
partnership, corporation, or asso-
ciation as to any or all of the
items of his assessment in such
manner as to secure the assess-
ment of property at its taxable
value, and shall also add to the
assessment rolls any taxable
property not included therein, as-
sessing the same in the name of
the owner thereof, as the assess-
or should have done;

sessment rolls all corrections or
additions directed by the Board.
At such meetings it shall be the
duty of the assessor to read each
and every taxpayer's name and
assessment on the assessment
rolls, and, if the assessment is
approved, pass to the next name.
After checking the same, the
Board shall then take up the un-

rolls, and at the conclusion of the
action of the Board therein the
clerk shall post an alphabetical
list of those whose assessments
are thus raised and added, in a
conspicuous place in the office or
place of meeting of the Board, and
enter upon the records a state-
ment that such posting has been
made, which entry shall be con-
clusive of the giving of the no-
tice required. The Board shall
hold an adjourned meeting with
at least five days intervening af-
ter the posting of said notices,
before final action with reference
to the raising of assessments or
the adding of property to the rolls
is taken, and the posted notices
shall state the time and place of
holding such adjourned meeting,
which time and place shall also
be stated in the proceedings of
the Board."
Provision is made in the statute
with reference to appeals by any
dissatisfied parties.
"7133 Appeal. Appeals may be
taken from the a c t i o n of the
B o a r d with reference to such
complaints to the district court of
the county in which such Board
holds its sessions, within twenty
days after its adjournment. Ap-
peals shall be taken by a written
notice to that effect to the chair-
man or presiding officer of the re-
viewing board, and served as an
original notice.
7135 Appeal on Behalf of Public.
Any officer of a county, city, town,
township or school district inter-
ested or a taxpayer thereof may
in like manner make complaint
before said board of review in re-
spect to the assessment of any
property in the township, city or
town and an appeal from the ac-
tion of the board of review in fix-
ing the amount of assessment on
any property concerning which
such complaint is made, may be
taken by any of such afore-
mentioned officers.
Such appeal is in addition to the
appeal allowed to the p e r s o n
whose property is assessed and
shall be taken in the name of the
county, city, town, township, or
school district interested and
tried in the same manner, except
that the notice of appeal shall al-
so be served upon the owner of
the property concerning w h i c h
the complaint is made and af-
fected thereby or person required
to return said property for assess-
ment."
And it is further provided:
"7134 Trial on Appeal. The court
shall hear the appeal in equity
and determine anew all questions
arising before the Board which
relate to the liability of the prop-
erty to assessment or the amount
thereof, and its decision shall be
certified by the clerk of the court
to the county auditor, who shall
correct the assessment books in
his office accordingly."
I am unable to find any provision
of the statute requiring the Board
of Review to file a report with the
City.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.

Dubuque, Iowa.
July 6, 1942.
To the Honorable City Council of
the City of Dubuque, Iowa, and to
the Honorable Members thereof,
and to the Honorable City Man.
ager of the City of Dubuque,
Iowa:
Gentlemen: At the present time,
I understand that a move is afoot
to have the City of Dubuque put in
a curbing on Eleanor Street which
runs perpendicular to South Grand.
v:ew Avenue near the 1100 block.
This matter came before the City
Council a little over a year ago and
at that time it was decided that no
improvements would be made on
Eleanor Street at the expense of the
City.
I objected at that time to any im-
provements on this street on which
only one home is locaetd; and again
I firmly object to the curbing of
this street since two-thirds of the
property surrounding this street is
pasture land. It would be an injury
to the holders of this land, as well
as to other City taxpayers, to fur-
ther burden them with this expense
of curbing this street since the pas-
ture land adjoining this property
cannot stand this additional ex-
pense.
If said curbing is to be laid, I feel
that this improvement should be
made by the owners who will be di-
rectly benefitted and not by the
City, thereby throwing the bulk of
the expense onto those who in no
way will profit by it.
Respectfully,
MRS. MARY FALDORF.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Conservation of fuel
and physical property are important
parts of the total war effort. To fur-
ther these ends it is necessary to
caulk the exterior window and door
frames of the City Hall and to paint
the exterior wood work. Bids for
furnishing the materials and per-
forming the work were solicited
from all the painting contractors.
Attached are the specifications
for the work together with the four
bids which were received. I recom-
mend that the contract in the
amount of $725.00 for caulking and
painting the exterior wood of the
City Hall, excepting the cornice. be
awarded to J. O. Martin, his being
the lowest and best bid received.
Respectfully submitted,

To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At a meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
held October 21, 1942, the Secretary
was instructed to communicate with
your Honorable Body for the pur-
pose of acquainting you with the
fact that three important matters of
progressive civic interest recom-
mended by the Commission at vari-
ous times during the past two years
still remain unacted upon by City
Council, to -wit:
1) The development and improve-
ment of the Allison -Henderson
Playground at Loras Boulevard,
Nowata Street and University
Avenue (the Bush property) rec-
ommended to City Council by
City Manager November 26, 1942.
This was part of a contract with
the Allison -Henderson Memorial
Society whereby their property
on the river front was to be
deeded to the City for industrial
purposes. The acceptance of this
agreement was recommended to
City Council by the Planning and
Zoning Commission August 22,
1940.
2) The Subdivision Ordinance de-
veloped after months of study by
the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission and its adoption recom-
mended to City Council July 23,
1941.
3) The Tourist and Trailer Camp
Ordinance the result of exten-
sive study of the best American
practice, undertaken on written
request by City Council dated
July 28, 1941, the adoption of
which ordinance was recom-
mended to City Council May 15,
1942.
The Planning and Zoning Com-
mission records show these projects
as "Unfinished Business' and natur-
ally the Commission feels that their
studies, labors and consequent rec-
ommendations merit positive action
by enactment into law of the sug-
a
218 Regular Session, November 2nd, 1942

thereof. In other words, the Com-
mission feels that these important
matters should not remain "Unfin-
ished Business" and hereby solicit
your co-operation.

To the Honorable Mayor and

Gentlemen: On December 29,
1920, the City Council by resolution
approved the sale of a strip of land
at Elm and 24th Streets to William
F. Heitzmann for $100.00 which was
