In re: Claim of Mrs. Frances
Coakley.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: From my investiga-
tion I find that on or about January
16, 1943, Mrs. Frances Coakley fell
on a sidewalk that was covered
with a thin snow over ice, that
this sidewalk was raised about
four inches due to roots of a tree,
that she sustained a fracture of
her thumb of her right hand and
had a cast thereon for over four
weeks; that she was nable to go
to work and was away from work
forty-four days; that her doctor bill
was $21.00; that the loss of time
incurred was about $100.00. I am
of the opinion that there is a lia-
bility in this case. She is willing
to accept $46.00 in full payment of
her claim.
I recommend that her claim be
allowed in the sum of $46.00; that
a warrant be issued to her order
for that amount and delivered to
her upon delivery to the City of a.
proper release.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman .Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Solic-
itor Kintzinger be approved and the

that said warrant be delivered to
her upon receipt of a properly
executed release. Seconded by
Councilman Thompson. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Wharton, Council-

herein on January 22, 1943, for dam-
ages for injuries sustained from a
fall on an icy sidewalk at 1229 Jack-
son Street on or about January 11,
1943, the claimant had her arm frac-
tured and had to have it reset
twice. She incurred medical ex-
penses to the amount of $54.00, and
other expenses. She has agreed to
accept $26.00 in full settlement of
her claim. I recommend that a war-
rant be issued payable to her order
for $26.00 and delivered to her up-
on the receipt of a proper release.
I am enclosing herewith, the claim.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,

In re: Claim of Rhea Kontos.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In reference to the
claim of Rhea Kontos of February
13, 1943, the claimant fell and
sprained an ankle on 5th Street
while going around a dangerous and
hazardous place on the sidewalk,
made by children sliding on the
sidewalk, and sustained damages
for which she filed a claim for
$30.00. I have made investigation
of the matter aforesaid and find
that her actual expenses are $18.85.
I am of the opinion that there is
a liability and recommend that her
claim be allowed in the sum of
$18.85 and a warrant be drawn pay-
able to her order for said amount
and delivered to her upon the de-
livery to the City of a proper re-
lease.
Yours truly,

March 16, 1943.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In regard to the Ap-
plication of Tavern Keepers' Asso-
ciation No. 1 for Class "B" Permit
for Private Club, submitted to me
by the Council for investigation and
report, my report is confined solely
to the record so submitted.
It is provided by the statute as
follows:
"Sec. 1921.118. INVESTIGA-
TION OF APPLICATION. The
AUTHORITIES empowered by
this chapter to issue permits shall
make a thorough investigation to
determine the fitness of the ap-
plicant and the truth of the state-
ments made in and accompany-
ing the application, and the de-
cision of such authority on the
application shall be rendered
within thirty days after the ap-
plication is received."
"Sec. 1921.099 ... POWER IS
HEREBY GRANTED TO CITIES
AND TOWNS, including cities
under special charter to issue the
Class "B" Permits and Class "C"
Permits within their respective
limits ..."
The statute further provides:
"Sec. 1921.111. No club shall be
granted a Class "B" Permit un-
der this chapter ...
"b. If it is a proprietary club,
or operated for pecuniary profit."
The Articles of Incorporation of
the Tavern Keepers' Association of
Dubuque, Iowa, submitted with the
application provides, among other
things:
"Article III. The membership
of this corporation shall be com-
posed of such persons as may
from time to time be admitted as
members in good standing as set
forth in the by-laws of the Tavern
Keepers' Association for Du-
buque, Iowa."
"Article IV. For the purpose
appropriate to its creation, this
corporation may take by gift,
purchase, devise or bequest, real
and personal property, may make
contracts, may sue and be sued,
may make by-laws alterable at
its pleasure and IS shall have all
the powers by corporations NOW
FOR PECUNIARY PROFIT un-
der the laws of the state of Iowa."
Funk & Wagnall's Standard Dic-
tionary defines,
"proprietary, the state or fact of
being an owner; proprietorship;
ownership."
The question as to whether or not
this corporation meets all of the
necessary requirements is for the
Council. A failure to meet any such
requirement results in a denial of
the Application.
"Sec. 1921.111. No Club shall be
granted a Class "B" Permit un-
der this chapter ...
"c. Unless it is incorporated
under the laws of the State of
62 Special Session., March 22nd, 1943
Iowa, and its charter is in full
force and effect, and/or excepting
regularly chartered branches of
nationally incorporated organiza-
tions."
You will observe that the applica-
tion provides:
"1. Name of Corporation: Tav-
ern Keepers' Association No. 1."
Article I of the Articles of Incor-
poration provides:
"The name of this Corporation
is the Tavern Keepers' Associa-
tion of Dubuque, Dubuque Coun-
ty, Iowa."
Therefore, the application is not
made by the same entity as that in
the Articles of. Incorporation.
Sec. 1921.111. No Club shall be
granted a Class "B" Permit un-
der this Chapter ...
d. Unless such club has a per-
manent local membership of not
less than fifty adult members.
e. Unless the application for
such permit is approved by a ma-
jority of the bona fide members
of such club who are present at
a regular meeting, or a, special
metting called to consider the
same.
f. Unless it was in operation
as a club on the first 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" Permit.
In an opinion rendered by the
Attorney General of the State of
Iowa, on April 30, 1937, it is stated:
"It is our opinion that no club
can be granted a Class "B" Per-
mit under the existing beer law
unless it complies with all of the
requirements set out in Sections
a, b, c, d, e, and f of the above
quoted Section of the Code. The
language of the statute is clear
in its requirements that each of
the above sub -sections is to be
met."
Upon failure to meet any of the
above sections the Council is pre-
cluded from granting a Class "B"
Permit.
The application as presented
omits answers to the following
questions:
"6. Purposes for which club was
formed and is being maintained?"
"14. If formed after that date,
has it been in continuous opera.
tion as a club for two years im-
mediately prior to the date of this
application?"
"16. Is there attached hereto a
certified copy of this resolution
approving this application and a
copy of the Articles of Incorpora-
tion?"
"Sec. 1921.112. APPLICATION.
Every club desirous of obtaining
a Class 'B' Permit shall make a
written application therefor, exec-
uted by its president and attest-
ed by its secretary or other sim-
ilar officers performing the duties
usually performed by a president
or secretary which application
shall state under oath:
a. The name of the club and
the location of the premises oc-
cupied by it.
b. The names of the officers of
said club.
c. That the buildings occupied
by said club are wholly within
the corporate limits of the city
or town to which such application
is made.
d. The purposes for which such
club was formed and is main-
tained, and the number of the
bona -fide members thereof regu-
larly paying dues.
e. That the application for such
Permit was approved by a ma-
jority of the bona -fide members
of such club present at a regular
meeting or at a special meeting
called to consider the same."
I do not believe that an answer
to question 14 and question 16 is
required by the statute, but an ans-
wer to question 6 is required by
the statute.
Under Section 1921.118 herein
cited, it is the duty of the Council:
"to make a thorough investiga-
tion to determine the fitness of
the applicant and the truth of the
statements made accompanying
the application."
Before the application can be
granted, the applicant must meet
ALL of the requirements of the
statute hereinabove set forth, and
upon a failure to meet any one of
the said requirements the applica-
tion must be denied.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Murphy moved that
the opinion of City Solicitor Kint-
zinger be received and filed. Sec-
onded by Councilman Thompson.

Yeas—Mayor Wharton, Council-

March 16, 1943.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In regard to the Ap-
pliction of the Rod & Gun Club for
Class "B" Beer Permit for Private
Club which has been referred to
me, the law governing the granting
of such permits is in my report to
this Council of this date on the Ap-
plication for Class "B" Beer Per-
mit for Private Club of the Tavern
Keepers' Association No. 1, to
which reference is hereby made.
Attached to the papers is a cer-
tificate of the Rod & Gun Club
showing that the following resolu-
tion was passed on January 2, 1943:
"Be It Resolved, that the officers
of the club be and they are here-
by authorized and instructed to
make application for all Federal,
State and City licenses relative
to selling beer and for any and all
other licenses necessary to main-
tain the club rooms for the use
and benefit of the members at
1105 Iowa Street, Dubuque, Iowa,
and they are further authorized
and empowered to execute any
and all instruments in connection
with the making of such applica-
tion for licenses and the securing
of permits."
It is provided by the statute,
among other things as follows:
"Sec. 1921.112. APPLICATION
e. That the application for
such permit was approved by a
majority of the bona -fide mem-
bers of such club present at a
regular meeting or at a special
meeting called to consider the
same."
The resolution as submitted, fails
to show that the Application for the
above permit was approved by a
majority of the bona fide members
present at such meeting, and, there-
fore, fails to meet with this pro-
vision of the statute.
Report as submitted by the Chief
of Police provides:
"A number of the persons
whose names are listed as mem-
bers were interviewed by Captain
Derreberry and myself. In a large
number of cases, it has been
found that persons whose names
are listed as members are un-
aware of same and disclaim mem-
bership or any knowledge con-
cerning above club. A number of
others stated they planned to be
members, but, however, knew
very little concerning same. I
could not learn from persons in-
terviewed of any meetings hav-
ing been held, of any benefits to
be derived therefrom other than
being furnished a key permitting
thein access to bar -room.
"Also, it appears that this Club
will be operated for pecuniary
profit to a few."
This report casts doubt upon the
membership of the Club and also
the purposes for which it is oper-
ated. It is for the Council to de-
termine the truth of the statements
made accompanying the Applica-
tion. A failure to have the required
number of members prevents the
approval of the application. If it
should appear that the Club is oper-
ated for pecuniary profit to a few,
this also results in a failure to
comply with the law.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.

Honorable Mayor and City Council,

Gentlemen: With reference to

filed March 15, 1943, and referred
to me for investigation and report,
I find that the damage complained
of was dorle on or about the 22nd
day of February, 1943, by a city
truck while the same was being en-
gaged in a governmental duty and
that, therefore, there is no liability.
I recommend that the claim be
denied. I am returning the claim
herewith.

In re: Claim of Mrs. M. C. Vincent:
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the above claim for $500.00 1 have
investigated the same, talked with
the claimant and the police officers
in regard to their investigation and
find that the sidewark had been cov-
ered with ice for some considerable
time and that the claimant, Mrs. M.
C. Vincent, fell on the icy sidewalk
in front of the residence of 1041
West 5th Street on January 15,
1943, and has suffered, as a result
of the fall, a fractured ankle and
other injuries causing loss of time
and doctor and hospital expenses,
for which she claims $500.00. After
talking the matter over with her
and her husband, I learned that the
actual doctor and hospital bills are
$62.00, and that they have agreed to
settle for $50.00.
I recommend that a warrant be
drawn in favor of Mrs. M. C. Vin-
cent for the sum of $50.00 and the
same be delivered to her upon re-
ceipt of a proper release by her.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor

the recommendation of City Soicit-
or Kintzinger be approved and the

said warrant be delivered to her up-
on receipt by the City of Dubuque

onded by Councilman Van Duelman.

Honorabe Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.1
Gentemen: With reference to the
Madison Street Park and the steps
running through said park, the
question submitted to me is: Which
body, the City Council or the Park
Board, has control of the steps?
Under Chapter 293, Park Com-
missioners, of the Statute of Iowa,
it provides, among other things:
"5798 GENERAL POWERS. * * *
except as otherwise provided in
this chapter it shall have exclu-
sive control of all parks and
pleasure grounds acquired by it
or of other ground owned by the
city and set apart for like pur-
poses."
Ordinance No. 28, being "An Or-
dinance, Providing for the Election
of Park Commissioners and Defin.
Ing their Duties and Powers and
Providing as to Their Compensa.
tion" provides, among other things,
"125. * * * Said board (Park
Board of the City of Dubuque)
shall have EXCLUSIVE control
of all parks, parkings and pleas-
ure grounds, acquired by it, and
of all other grounds owned by the
City and set apart for park and
pleasure ground purposes."
It, therefore, appears to me the
Park Board is possessed with the
exclusive control of all parks and
pleasure grounds of the City of Du-
buque, having received such exclu-
sive control from the legislature of
the State of Iowa and the City
Council of the City of Dubuque.
This necessarily precludes the City
Council from having any control
over the parks and pleasure
grounds.
The Park Board, in the exercise
of its duties causes sidewalks and
streets and the like to be laid in,
across, over and through any of its
parks, also possesses the same right
to abandon the same, except as
to sidewalks abutting on the public
streets.
If the steps in question run
through the park over which the
Park Board has exclusive control,
the Par% Board, in the exercise of
that contro, built the steps in ques-
t ion and the Park Board, under the
exercise of the same control, has
the right to dismantle and abandon
the same.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.

Kintzinger be received and made a

Special Session, April 20th, 1943 91
April 20, 1943.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A great many citi-
zens are planting victory gardens
for the home production of vege-
tables. This is an important and
necessary project because of the
food shortages caused by the glo-
bal war. In order to protect these
gardens from damage done by dogs
running at large it is necessary that
the ordinances of the City regulat-
ing dogs be revised.
The Code of Iowa, in the general
powers granted to cities and towns,
provides as follows: "5745. Power
to regulate, license, or prohibit.
They shall have power to limit the
number of, regulate, license, or pro-
hibit: ... 4. Dogs. The running at
large of dogs within their limits,
and to require them to be kept up-
on the premises of the owners
thereof unless licensed to run at
large, and to provide for the de-
struction thereof when found at
large contrary to and in violation
of the provisions of any ordinance
passed pursuant to the power here-
in granted."
It is my recommendation that an
ordinance be passed prohibiting the
running at large of dogs within the
city limits and requiring them to
be kept upon the premises of the
owners or restrained by a leash
when in the streets and public
places.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

Gentlemen: Some time ago I
was approached by Mr. Mueller, of
the Twin Valley Milk Company,
with a Petition for the establish-
ment of a pasteurizing plant, to be
located in what is known as the
Mork's Oil Station, located between
Irving and O'Hagen Streets, on Uni-
versity Avenue, and believe the
same is to come up for a hearing
tonight at the Council meeting.
This is to advise that I herewith
cancel my signature to said Appli-
cation, and do not wish to be con-
sidered as being in favor of the
establishment of the proposed
Mueller -Twin Valley Dairy Co.
plant and its intended operations at
this designated place. Kindly so in-
dicate in your minutes of this meet-
ing and any other meetings that
may be called for the further hear-

tion.
Thanking you, I remain,

To the Councilmen of the
City of Dubuque:
I have been informed that a Mr.
Miller wants to establish a milk
bottling and cheese industry in the
vacant Oil Station adjoining my
property on University Avenue. I
wish to file this formal statement
of my protest of this action. It will
harm and deteriorate the value of
the adjacent property. Secondly, I
understand, this section of the City
has been designated by the Zoning
Commission for local business and
resident homes and not commercial
industry. Furthermore, there is not
sufficient room for such an enter-
prise in that location and noise of
the work, which will be carried on
to a great extent at night and early
morning, will disturb the sleep of
the entire community, to say noth-
ing of the odors that will also be
a result.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. CORA WOLFE.

102 regular Session, May 3rd, 1943
May 1, 1943.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the session of the
City Council held April 20th, the
notice of the application of the Du-
buque Boat and Boiler Co. to the
Federal Government for a permit
to construct a bulkhead with filling
to be dredged from Dubuque Har-
bor was referred to me with in-
structions to protect the City's
interest.
Accordingly, a written statement
of the City's position was filed with
the District Engineer of the War
Department at Rock Island, Illinois.
The correspondence is hereto at-
tached. I recommend that the com-
munications be received and placed
on file as a matter of record.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of City
Manager Rhomberg be approved.

May 3, 1943.
To the Honorable Mayor and
.City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Deficits exist in sev-
eral of the special assessment funds
which now have no bonds outstand-
ing and no collections to be re-
ceived. These deficits arise from
several causes: First, the sale of
tax delinquent property by the
County and the subsequent issu-
ance of Treasurer's deeds, which
operates to wipe out the unpaid
special assessments; second, the re-
duction of assessments by compro-
mise in the past without proper pro-
vision for the payment of the re-
mitted portion and the interest
thereon; third, the shortage of in-
terest that is inevitable with the
same interest rate (5%) applying
to the partial payments as does to
the bonds but the redemption of the
bonds and the termination of the
interest on them dependent upon
the accumulation of enough pay-
ments to retire bonds of rather
large denominations.
I recommend, in accordance with
Section 6211-3 of the Code of Iowa,
to meet the deficiencies in assess-
ments, that $1,424.59 be paid from
the Improvement Fund to the fol-
lowing funds as follows: $475.91 to
Fund 938 for the improvement of
Pennsylvania Avenue; $931.37 to
Fund 940-941, sanitary sewer in
Grandview Heights Addition; $4.54
to Fund 942, sanitary connection;
$12.77 to Fund 943, sidewalk on
South Grandview Avenue.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Wharton moved that
the recommendation of City Man-
ager Rhomberg be approved and
the City Auditor to be instructed to
draw a warrant in the amount of
$1,424.59 against the Improvement
Fund and credit the same to the
various funds as recommended in
order to meet the deficiencies in
assessments. Seconded by Council-
man Moffatt. Carried by the follow-
ing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Murphy, Council-
men Moffatt, Thompson., Van Duel -
man, Wharton.
Nays—None.

In re: Claim of Anna Schmitt.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In reference to the
above claim of Anna Schmitt for
$2,450.00 for damages sustained by
her from a fall on a sidewalk on
the easterly side of White Street
about twenty-five feet south from
22nd Street, from my investigation
it appears that this sidewalk was
covered with ice and snow which
created a dangerous condition; that
when she fell she sustained a frac-
ture of her ankle, incurred medi-
cal expense in the amount of
$50.00 and additional help in the
amount of $42.00. That she lost
a total amount of wages in the
amount of $180.00. She claims that
said injury is permanent. After
conference with her attorney, they
have agreed to accept $200.00 in
full payment of this claim.
I recommend that a warrant be
drawn payable to E. H. Willging,
Attorney for Anna Schmitt, in the
amount of $200.00 and that the
same be delivered upon the delivery
to the City of a proper release.
The claim is herewith returned.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Kintzinger, , be approved
and the City Auditor to be in-
structed to draw a warrant in the
amount of $200.00 in favor of E. H.
Wiliging, Attorney for Anna
Schmitt, as settlement in full of the
claim of Anna Schmitt and that
said warrant be delivered upon re-
ceipt of a properly executed release
by the City of Dubuque. Seconded
by Councilman Thompson. Carried
by the following vote:

Gentlemen: With reference to
the action now pending in the Dis-

Iowa, entitled Anna Couch vs. City
of Dubuque, Iowa, claiming $5,000.00
damages because of an injury re-
ceived on or about February 27,
1941, by Anna Couch while walking
on and along Ardmore Place ex-
tending from West Eleventh Street
to Wilbur Street. She claims that
she fell on a slippery, uneven mass
of snow and ice where the City per-
mitted ruts of snow and ice to re-
main for some considerable time.
She further claims that she broke
her right hip, bruised and injured
her entire body and nervous system
and suffered permanent injuries
and will be disfigured and deform-
ed. After this case had been set
down for hearing and after confer-
ence with her Attorney, Mr. R. P.
Roedell, they have agreed to accept
$50.00 in full payment of said claim.
I recommend that a warrant be
drawn payable t0 R. P. Roedell,
Attorney for Anna Couch, in the
amount of $50.00 and that the same
be delivered upon receipt by the
City of a properly executed release.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,

ion that the offer made by claim-
ant to settle for $150.00 should be

be delivered when a release proper-
ly executed by claimant is delivered
to the City.

Gentlemen: The committee ap-
pointed by your honorable bodies
with instructions to appraise the
recreation program in this city
hereby submits its findings and
recommendations.
We find the present recreation
program inadequate and not suffic-
iently organized to meet the needs
that are continually arising and in-
creasing on account of war condi-
tions. A summer playground pro-
gram of sufficient size and scope to
absorb the leisure time of the youth
of the city is an immediate neces-
sity.
It is our recommendation that the
City Council by ordinance create a
Playground and Recreation Com-
mission to take immediate action to
provide a program of recreation in
all its phases, using such facilities
as are or can be made available
through the city. We suggest a
commission of nine members con-
sisting of: The Mayor, President of
the Board of Education, the Super-
!ntendent of Public Schools, the
Superintendent of Parochial
Schools, the City Manager, a mem-
Y1 .A
Regular Scission, June 7th, 1943 123
her of the Park Board as ex -officio
members, together with three citi•
zen members, at least two of whom
should be women. We further sug-
gest that the Commission select an
advisory council off the executives
of all organizations that are work-
ing with youth in order to provide
a coordinating medium and to make
for broad planning in the youth
problem.
Because of the urgency of the
matter it is our recommendation at
this time that the summer play-
grounds be expanded to embrace
not less than ten or more than fif-
teen playgrounds to be operated for
a two-month period from mid-June
to mid-August on a six -day -a -week
basis from 10:30 A. M. to 8:30 P. M.
We estimate the probable cost of
such playground set-up to be about
$12,000.00. Of the $16,000.00 fund
appropriated by the City, $6,000.00
can be used for this purpose by
some adjustments of the Recrea-
tion Budget without curtailing the
swimming pool, ice skating, base-
ball and other athletic activities.
To provide the additional funds we
recommend that the City Council
petition the Board of Education for
the use of their facilities and the
appropriation of $6,000.00 from
school funds to meet this expanded
playground program.
Respectfully submitted,

Mayor.

June 7, 1943.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the session of the
City Council held May 3, 1943, I was
instructed to employ a competent
person to make an investigation of
the stands at the Municipal Athletic
Field and to furnish the Council
with an estimate of the cost of mak-
ing the stands safe for occupancy if
they are found in an unsafe condi-
tion.
Pursuant to your instructions, I
employed the Howard R. Green Co.,
consulting engineers of Cedar Rap-
ids, to make the investigation, re-
port and estimate of cost. The re•
port of the engineers is herewith
124 Special Session, June 18th, 1943
submitted. Briefly, the stands are
not safe for occupancy and the nec-
essary repairs are estimated to cost
$6,108.00.
In the interest of public safety
and pending a decision as to wheth-
er the stands are to be repaired or
torn down, I recommend that the
public be barred from the stands
and that suitable warning signs be
placed calling attention to the
danger.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Thompson m o v e d
that the recommendation of City
Manager Rhomberg be approved
and that City Manager Rhomberg

In re: Claim of Mrs. Hubert Bri-
meyer.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the above claim for $200.00 which
has been submitted to me for in-
vestigation and report, I wish to
state that I have investigated the
claim, including a consultation with
Mrs. Hubert Brimeyer. She claims
that she fell on an icy sidewalk on
Holly Street on or about March 11,
1943, and sustained a broken knee
cap which necessitated medical at-
tention and that her actual ex-
penses are:
Doctors bill ........................$31.00
Rent for wheel chair ........ 3.00
$34.00
After a consultation with her she
has agreed to accept $34.00 in full
settlement of her claim. I recom-
mend that a warrant be drawn pay-
able to her order in the amount of
$34.00 and delivered to her upon
delivery to the City of a properly
executed release.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.

rant be delivered upon receipt of a
properly executed release. Second-

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the communication of the Dubuque
Fire Fighters Association, referred
to me by the City Council for in-
vestigation and report, I wish to
report as follows:
Request is made that Rule No.
59 of the Rules and Regulations of
the Civil Service Commission of
1942 be suspended for the duration
of the war to enable the off -shift
firemen to work on their day off if
they so wish. All rules and regula-
tions adopted by the Civil Service
Commission can be repealed only
by that Commission. The Council
lacks any such power.
With reference to the question of
protection of the firemen working in
other industries; protection is
granted firemen by the State Statute
and the Legislature is the proper
body to amend the Act. The Council
has no such power.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. IiINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson m o v e d
that the report of City Solicitor
Kintzinger be approved and made a
m a t t e r of record. Seconded by

June 16, 1943.
The Honorable the Mayor
City of Dubuque,
Dubuque, Iowa.
My dear Mr. Mayor:
The Administrator of Civil Aero•
nautics, with the approval of a
Board composed of the Secretaries
of War, Navy, and Commerce, has
designated as necessary for national
defense a project for development
of the Dubuque Municipal Airport,
Docket No. 904-13-9, and has tenta.
tively allocated for this project the
sum of $600,000. No construction is
to be undertaken until 1944. As now
Proposed, this project contemplates
the following development:
"Clear, grub, grade, drain, seed
and fence landing area; pave NIS
and NW/SE runways 150'x 5600'
each; construct apron and neces-
sary 50' taxiways; and grade 1000'
safety strips at each end of each
runway."
As a condition precedent to re-
lease and operation of this project,
the Administrator requires that it
be sponsored by a public agency
having title in fee simple, free of
all liens, leases, easements, and oth.
er encumbrances, to the landing
area of the airport and all lands to
be improved under the project, or
such lesser property interests as are
sufficient, in the opinion of the Ad.
ministrator, to ensure public owner-
ship and control of the airport,
and that such sponsor enter into an
agreement with the United States
in the manner and form of the reso-
lution form enclosed herewith. It is
the purpose of this letter to inquire
whether the City of Dubuque de.
sires and is in a position to act in
this capacity.
If so, it will be necessary that a
resolution in the form of that en.
closed be adopted by the governing
body of the City of Dubuque and
that two certified copies thereof be
forwarded to this office. However,
you will note that such a resolution
should not be adopted until the
City of Dubuque has acquired all
necessary property interests. This
office will be glad to advise as to
what property, and what interests
therein, will be sufficient.
Furthermore, it will be necessary,
in connection with the proposed de-
velopment, that the City expressly
agree under Sec. 2-A of the AP -4
Resolution to effect the vacation of
any roads, if such is necessary; to
be responsible for the removal, re-
location, or lowering of any neces-
sary pole lines, on or off the prop-
erty; to remove any objectionable
obstructions off the property; to re-
move all buildings or other items
of existent improvements of value
which the City desires to salvage;
to obtain easements or other prop-
erty rights for any necessary drain-
age outlet ditches; to obtain drain-
age rights from adjacent property
owners, where pertinent; and to
obtain approval of the respective
state body, if necessary, covering
any possible diversion of drainage,
or of crossing of highways with
drainage and constructing drainage
structures across same. If possible,
these responsibilities will be indi-
vidually called to the attention of
the sponsor before adoption of the
AP -4 resolution in order that spe-
cific agreement to them may be
made in the AP -4. If, however, an
AP -4 agreement is ready for adop-
tion before plans have progressed
to the point that determination may
be made as to what will be required,
adoption of the resolution should
proceed, inserting blanket agree-
ment as indicated above.
It will be noted that a form of
certificate is annexed to the reso-
lution form, to be executed by the
chief legal officer of the City of
Dubuque and incorporated in the
executed resolution as Exhibit A.
This certificate must be executed
and delivered to your governing
body before the adoption of the
Special Session, June 18th, 1943 131
resolution. If the City of Dubuque
has no legal officer, an attorney
should be designated by appro•
priate action of your governing
body to perform the services men-
tioned in Section 2(f) of the reso-
lution form. In such event, the at.
torney's certificate should set forth
the source of his authority.
It will also be noted that this
certificate of the Chief Legal Officer
is to have as an attachment a
sketch showing the lands to be im-
proved under the project and those
comprising the present landing area
of the airport, which sketch is also
to be incorporated in the executed
resolution as part of Exhibit A.
This sketch should be to scale and
should show sufficient section lines,
property lines, monuments, natual
features, existing airport facilities,
proposed improvements, and other
information to permit identification
of the exact lands in question. If
possible, it should be letter size. It
Is suggested that this office be con-
sulted as to the sufficiency of this
sketch prior to adoption of the
resolution.
If for any reason it is impossible
to adopt a resolution exactly in the
form of that enclosed, this office
should be consulted in an effort to
reach an agreement as to a revision
or modification which would be sat-
isfactory to the Administrator.
Respectfully,
W. E. KLINE,
Regional Manager.

May 17, 1943.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The Planning and
Zoning Commission, by unanimous
vote of its full membership, respect-
fully recommends to your Honor-
able Body the denial of the petition
of John J. Mueller, attached here-
with, for the following reasons:
First. To operate an industry of
any kind within the area in ques-
tion would require rezoning to Light
Industry classification.
Second. The fundamental rules
of zoning provide a definite place
for Light Industry. That place in-
variably is between Heavy Industry
on the one side and Business on the
other. The part of Dubuque under
consideration is far away from
Heavy Industry and Business. ("Lo-
cal Business" must not be confused
with "Business." Local Business
Districts are simply small areas ser-
vicing adjoining Residential dis-
tricts in a limited retail way, and
primarily a part of the latter.)
To place a small Light Industrial
District wholly within a very large
residential area is contrary to all
sound zoning principles and not in
the public interest. The normal
graduation from Heavy Industry at
the lower end of the ladder up
through Light Industry to Business,
to Local Business, to Multiple Resi-
dence to Two Family and finally to
Single Family classification would
be entirely disorganized and de-
stroyed.
Third. Opening up this area to
Light Industry to accommodate a
Creamery would automatically al-
low other industries which might be
more or less objectionable, to wit:
Bakeries (wholesale), Blacksmith
Shops, Bottling Works, Building Ma-
terials Storage Yards, Contractors'
Plants and Storage Yards, Cooper-
age Works, Large Dye and Cleaning
Operations, Fish Packing, Smoking
and Curing, F u e 1 Distributing
Plants and Storage Yards, Large
Laundry Operations, Lumber Yards,
Machine Shops, Planing Mills, Poul-
try Killing, Dressing or Live Stor-
age for retail sales on the premises,
Stone Yards and Monument Works
and others. Such operations, with
their varied accompanying smoke,
dirt, noise and smell nuisances, are
out of place in a residential area.
As stated so forcefully by Dr. Dale
Welch in his letter of opposition,
representing, as he does, the Uni-
versity of Dubuque and the Presby-
terian Press—"If that is permitted,
it seems clear to me that the whole
theory of zoning may as well be for-
gotten ... The establishment of a
creamery at the proposed location
on University Avenue would be lit-
tle short of a tragedy."
Fourth. Protests received by the
Planning and Zoning Commission
and accompanying this letter indi-
cate that 95% of the property own-
ers within 200 feet radius are op-
posed to the proposal. The attached
color plat (Exhibit "A"), prepared
Adjourned Regular Session, July 6th, 1943 143
by the City Building Department,
shows in blue the preponderance of
objecting property owners.
Yours truly,
THE DUBUQUE PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION,
By R. V. McKay, Secretary.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,

Gentlemen: At the session of the
City Council held May 3, 1943, the
petition of Adolph G. Stotz, et al,
requesting that the improvement be-
gun on West Sixteenth Street be
connected with Catherine Street
and westerly towards Cox Street be
now completed and also that the
drainage at the end of Henion
Street be taken care of and that a
street light be installed at or near
the intersection of West Sixteenth
Street and Henion Street was re-
ferred to the City Council to view
the grounds.
The Council viewed the grounds
and concluded that additional data
be obtained in order to determine
if it is possible to grant the request
or any part of it. In line with this
discussion, it is my intention to sub-
mit a proposed grade to the City
Council in the near future.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the communication of City
Manager Rhomberg be received and
made a matter of record. Second-

July 7, 1943.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: By Resolution No.
131-41, the Manager and Clerk were
authorized to execute a contract of
144 Adjourned Regular Session, July 6th, 1943
lease for the City Airport and on
November 3, 1941 such lease was en-
tered into by and between the City
of Dubuque and the Dubuque Air-
ways, Incorporated, for the use of
the airport, located on Ham's Island,
for a period of five years from No.
vember 3, 1941. Matters in con-
nection with the war training ser-
vice of Naval Cadets have now cre-
ated a situation in which it is desir-
able that the lease be terminated.
Attached hereto is the surrender of
the lease by the Dubuque Airways,
Incorporated by R. L. McCaffree, its
president, and the acceptance of the
cancellation by me as City Man-
ager.
It is my recommendation that the
City Council approve my action in
accepting the cancellation of the
lease, and relieving the Dubuque
Airways Incorporated, from any and
all obligations under the lease.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager
Councilman Moffatt moved that
the recommendation and action of
City Manager Rhomberg be ap-
proved and the City Auditor in-
structed to draw a warrant in the
amount of $1.00 in favor of the Du.

sideration for the cancellation of
the lease between the City of Du-
buque and the Dubuque Airways In-
corporated covering the City Air-
port. Seconded by Councilman

Nays—None.
July 6, 1943.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The winning of the
war is and should be our primary
concern. However, it is none too
soon to direct attention to post-war
Planning of public works to cushion
the economic shock of the transi-
tion from war to peace.
Two projects are indicated at the
outset—water softening and sew-
age treatment. These practically
suggest themselves because they
Probably would have been under,
taken by now if we were not in a
state of war.
It is only a matter of time when
the City will be compelled to cease
Polluting the river with sewage.
Again the increased use of the river
for boating and recreation and gen-
eral esthetic considerations point to
early treatment of sewage before
discharge into the river.
In considering the softening of
water, we are not primarily inter-
ested in public health or esthetics.
Soft water has a convenience value
and it can be demonstrated that the
savings accruing to the consumers
in soap and other preparations, the
reduction in heat losses in hot water
heaters and boilers, and the lesser

ably more than the cost to the mu-
nicipality for operating and financ-
ing such a plant. It is well to call
your attention to the fact that mod-
ern water softening practice can
definitely retain the palatable taste
of the water.
I recommend that the Council an-
thorize me to obtain engineering
surveys and reports, together with
Plans and specifications, for a water
softening plant and for a sewage
treatment plant. To that end, I rec•
ommend that a contract be entered
into with the consulting engineering
firm of Consoer, Townsend and
Quinlan of Chicago for the engineer-
ing services.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,

Resolution No. 74-43
Resolution and application for au-
thority 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, 1944, and ending
March 31, 1945, 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 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 reven-
ues 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 $5,325.00 in inter-
est are to be made during the fis.
cal year beginning April 1, 1944,
and ending March 31, 1945, 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 emer-
gency tax of five-eighths (%) 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 1943
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 ad-
opted at an adjourned regular meet-
ing of the City Council of the City
of Dubuque on the 6th day of July,

July 8, 1943.
Mr. George R. Murphy, Mayor,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Sir: Recently the local pa-
pers published an article which left
the inference you may be revising
the automobile parking ordinance.
The paper last evening again re-
ferred to this matter, inasmuch as
you have been petitioned to permit
regular parking in the vicinity of
Fifth and Iowa Street.
Since you may be wrestling with
some subject of parking, permit us
to suggest that you also consider
the matter of giving our employees
the privilege of parking on Seventh
Street east of the Court House alley.
As far as we are concerned, it is
hardly necessary to revise the or-
dinance in this respect, if only you
extend us the privilege of parking
in this half block, White Street to
the Court House alley, as long as
the Sanitary Milk Company building
continues unoccupied.
We regret to report there is quite
a little good parking space going
to "waste" in this half block. There
really is room for 13 cars to park
there. As you are probably aware,
the Sanitary Milk Company building
has now been vacant for about
eight months. The former grocery
store on the corner opposite our
office has also been vacant for a
long time, perhaps six or seven
years. We, accordingly, are writ-
ing to suggest that you permit park-
ing in this half block, inasmuch as
these two buildings are vacant.
Whenever the Sanitary Milk Com-
pany building is again occupied, we
will gladly revert to the present
regulations governing this h a 1 f
block. It will then only be neces-
152 Special Session, July 9th, 1943
sary for the Chief of Police to ask
us to observe the regular parking
rules in this half block.
Parking space in the vicinity of
our office and factory is pretty much
at a premium. You are probably
aware we have aranged parking fa-
cilities for 56 cars on our corner
lots 100 x 100 at Eighth and White
Streets. We are also dividing the
lease rental with the National But-
ter Company for the vacant lots
south of their building. Our em-
ployees used to also park on the lot
north of Eighth Street on White.
However, this lot is now occupied
by a large sign board, so there is
little or no parking done on this lot.
Hope you can see your way clear
to grant this request, if only on a
more or less temporary basis, or
until at least the Sanitary Milk Com-
pany building is again occupied.
This should not cause any incon-
venience as far as the general pub-
lic is concerned. People having
business in the Court House can
park on Seventh Street west of the
Court House alley, or even on Cen-
tral Avenue, where parking is also
permitted. Most people having oc-
casion to do business in the Court
House in connection with driver's
license, payment of taxes, automo-
bile license, or even marriage li-
cense, are likely to be parking in
that vicinity for a half hour or at
least one hour.
Accordingly, hope you will see
your way clear to grant our request.
Thanking you in advance, we re-
main
Yours very truly,
FARLEY & LOETSCHER
MFG. CO.
Councilman Wharton moved that
the communication be received and
made a matter of record and the
Chief of Police to be instructed to

onded by Councilman Van Duelman.

July 12, 1943.
To the Honorable Mayor and
Council of the City of Dubuque,
Iowa.
Gentlemen: It being called to
our attention that your Honorable
Body, at a meeting held on July 9,
1943, did grant the petition of cer-
tain officials of the University of
Dubuque, requesting that traffic be
curtailed on North Algona Street,
including the only public convey-
ance serving the territory affected.
And as this street is the main
avenue of ingress and egress to a
territory of approximately 24
blocks, and for its entire length is
the main artery in this territory,
and if granted this would preclude
the possibility of this area ever
being served by such public con-
veyance, tending to confiscate
through devaluation all property
within this area.
We the following residents and
property holders therefore petition
your august body to reconsider the
action taken on this matter and re-
quest that same be rescinded and
that North Algona Street be not
closed to traffic at any time.
We do not wish this to be con,
strued as an objection to anything
which the Navy deems necessary
to their program and that would
help the war effort, but we do ob
ject to anything of a permanew
nature which would lead to closing
off that part of Algona Street.
It is our thought that any enc
which would be achieved by clos
ing off the street to traffic could
with much less effort and withou
injustice to anyone, be achieved b;
prohibiting parking in this block
We, the undersigned, do not aF
prove of having Algona Stree
closed to traffic. We do not objec
to anything that the Navy deem
necessary to their program and tha
would help the war effort, but w
object to any thing of a permanen
nature which would lead to closin
off that part of Algona Street.
Signed, Carl W. Peterson et al.

Resolution No. 74-43
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, 1944, and ending
March 31, 1945, 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 $65,000.00
in principal, and $5,325.00 in in-
terest, are to be made during the

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
au emergency which requires the
levy of an emergency tax, and this
Council considers the levy of an
emergency tax of five-eighths M
mill to be absolutely necessary;

Be It Resolved by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque, that the

To the Honorable Mayor and

Gentlemen: Pursuant to your in.
structions, I caused notice in writ-
ing to be served upon the Postal
Telegraph and Cable Company di-
recting them to remove their tele-
graph poles and lines from Com-
mercial Street as changed, estab-
lished and relocated within ninety
days after service of the notice.
Such notice was served by the
Sheriff of Dubuque County on April
30, 1943.
The ninety days have elapsed and
to date the poles and lines have not
been changed. Therefore, I recom.
mend that court action be taken to
accomplish the removal of the poles
and lines.

To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On December 24,
1934, the Dubuque Boys' Club, Inc.,
by warranty deed conveyed to the
City of Dubuque Lot No. two hun-
dred nine (209) in the Town (now
city) of Dubuque, according to the
United States Commissioner's map
of the survey of the town of. Du-
buque, Iowa, subject to certain con-
ditions and provisions. No payment
nor valuable consideration was in-
volved in the transaction. Title to
the property was warranted except
as to taxes and special assessments.
By Resolution No. 1-36, the City
Council accepted the deed on Jan-
uary 7, 1936.
The Boys' Club is performing a
very good work in the community.
However, the continuation of the
title to the premises in the City is
a mere fiction of ownership which
serves no governmental purpose
nor does it assist the Boys' Club.
The reconveyance of the property
back to the grantor was contem-
plated in the deed. For the above
reasons, I recommend that the Cay
Council deed the property back to
the Dubuque Boys' Club, Inc.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

In re: Claim of Don B. Bartell,
Honorable ;Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the claim of Don B. Burtch, filed
herein for $10,000.00 for damages, I
have made investigation and find
that the claimant, on the 10th day
of February, 1943, fell on a defec-
tive sidewalk on the south side of
Sixteenth Street between Locust
and Main Street, which sidewalk
was covered with an accumulation
of rough and irregular ice and snow,
having been there for a long period
of time; that the claimant sustain-
ed serious injuries in that he broke
his arm and shoulder, causing him
to be confined and under doctor's
care for some considerable length
of time; that he sustained actual
damages, including the doctor's
bill, other bills and loss of time in
the amount of about $800.00. That
after considerable consultation with
his Attorneys, Smith, O'Connor &
Thomas, they have agreed to settle
this claim for $1150.00. I recommend
that a warrant be issued payable to
Smith, O'Connor & Thomas, At-
torneys for Don B. Bartch, in the
amount of $1150.00 and that the
same be delivered upon delivery to
the City of Dubuque of a release
properly executed by claimant.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Van Duelman moved

In re: Claim of John Ruh,
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the claim of John Ruh, filed herein
188 Special Session, September 17th, 1943
for $1,291.00, $291.00 being for ac-
tual expenses and $1,000.00 for pain
and suffering, I have investigated
this claim, consulted with the at-
torney for the claimant and am of
the opinion that there is a jury ques-
tion in this case and there may be a
liability upon the part of the City.
After consultation with the attor-
ney for the claimant they have
agreed to settle the claim for the
sum of $250.00. I recommend that
a warrant be issued to F. D. Gil -
loon, Attorney for John Ruh, in the
sum of $250.00 and that the same be
delivered to him upon delivery to
the City of Dubuque of a release
properly executed by the claimant.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Kintzinger be 'approved
and the City Auditor• instructed to
draw a warrant in the amount of
$250.00 in favor of F. D. Gilloon,
Attorney for John Ruh, as settle-
ment in full of the claim and that
said warrant be delivered upon re-
ceipt by the City of Dubuque of a
properly executed release by the
claimant. Seconded by Council-
men Moffatt. Carried by the follow-
ing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Murphy, Council-
men Moffatt, Thompson, Van Duel -
man, Wharton.
Nays—None.
September 10, 1943.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the request asking the City Council
to order the removal of live poultry
and their odor from the Blum Com-
pany building at Fifteenth and Elm
Street, it is provided by the Code
of Iowa:
5739 NUISANCES—Action to
Abate. They (the City) shall have
power to prevent injury or an-
noyance from anything danger-
ous, offensive, or unhealthful; to
cause any nuisance to be abated,
and to provide for the assessment
of the cost thereof to the prop-
erty. They may prohibit any pub-
lic or private nuisance, and may
maintain actions in equity to re-
strain and abte any nuisance.
In the case of Cole V. Kegler, 64
Iowa, 59 it is held:
That the power to abate nui-
sances does not enable the Coun-
cil to determine conclusively that
a particular thing constitutes a
nuisance; and if the Council
orders the removal of a thing
which is in fact not a nuisance,
the person causing its removal
will be individually liabe in dam-
ages and it is stated:
"The paintiff was not damaged
by the passage of the ordinance,
and he does not claim that he
was. His claim is that his prop-
erty has been unlawfully destroy-
ed. If it was not in fact a nuisance,
then no ground for its destruc-
tion existed, and the plaintiff has
been unlawfuly deprived of his
property. It would be strange in-
deed, if he coud not, under such
circumstances, recover, a just and
adequate compensation. Rounds
v. Mansfield, 38 Me., 586; Green
v. Underwood, before cited."
It is further provided by the
Statute:
12395 NUISANCE—what con-
stitutes—action to abate. What-
ever is injurious to health, inde-
cent or offensive to the senses,
or an obstruction to the free use
of property, so as essentially to
interfere with the comfortabe en-
joyment of life or property, is a
nuisance and a civil action by
ordinary proceedings may be
brought to enjoin and abate the
same and to recover damages
sustained on account thereof
In the case of Higgings v. Decor-
ah Produce Co., 214 Iowa, 2.76, be-
ing an action to enjoin an alleged
nuisance in a plant where poultry
is bought, fed and cleaned, the Su-
preme Court of Iowa states:
"It is a matter of common
knowledge that live poultry may
not be handled even with the
most scrupulous care without
causing more or less noise and
confusion. Chickens confined in
coops or feeding batteries or at
liberty in ordinary chicken hous-
es will cackle and crow more or
less early in the morning and at
other times when disturbed. Un-
less the feeding troughs are
promptly cleansed and all decay-
ing feed prevented from remain -
in therein, or if the offal, blood,
feathers and other matter ac-
cumulating about appellee's plant
are not prompty and carefully
disposed of, more or less odor of
varying degrees of offensiveness
will inevitably arise therefrom.
It has been held that the squeel-
ing of pigs, odors arising from hen
houses, together with the noises
incident thereto, do not constitute
nuisances. Cark, v. Wambold, 160
N. W. (Wis.) 1039; Wade v. Mil-
ler, 73 N. E. (Mass.) 849; Ballen-
tine v. Webb, 47 N. W. (Mich.)
485" (Page 282).
Special Session, Sel,tcnihcr 17t1i. 194.1 t cd
"One person may be and prob-
ably is much more sensitive to
such matters than others. In
passing upon questions of the
character before us, courts must
have in mind the effect of such
offensive matters upon persons of
ordinary and reasonable sensibili-
ties. Nevertheess, it seems to us
that some of the possible sources
of alleged offensive odors may be
largely, if not wholly, avoided.
The odor arising from scalding
chickens is, no doubt, difficult
to minimize to any considerable
extent. The accumulation of de-
caying food, if any, in the feed-
ing troughs may be wholly
avoided. The removal of the of-
fal! from the feeding batteries
should be sufficiently prompt and
thorough to eliminate most of the
complaint from this source. It
should not be permitted to be
placed in, or to remain about, the
plant in open containers, nor
should it be conveyed in open
trucks or wagons. This should be
remedied. The tallow and par-
affin removed from the dead
fowls necessarily becomes so
mixed with foreign substances
that, when repeatedly reheated,
it becomes offensive. It appears
to be the custom at the plant'to
replace the tallow and paraffin in
the vats for reheating. This op-
eration should not be repeated
until the odor arising from the
vat is substantially intensified
thereby. In other words, too fre-
quent repetition must be avoided.
The killing room and all other
parts of the plant and premises
should be kept scrupulously clean
and sanitary. We do not over-
look the testimony on behalf of
appellee on this point, but there
are always possibilities of im-
provement in sanitation and
cleanliness. The odors Brom the
plant are little noticed by appel-
lant or those residing in his im-
mediate vicinity, except when the
wind in the warmer season blows
from the northeast. This is not
the prevailing direction from
which the breezes come in the
summer season. The property of
appellant consists of a valuable
modern dwelling house and im-
proved grounds, and while the
area in the residential section af-
fected by the matters complained
of is very small, this is not a de-
fense to appellant's action. The
evidence does show, however,
that there are more or less nois-
es in the community from the op-
eration of railway trains, ice and
other plants and that some odor
escapes from the gas plant and,
no doubt, from the stockyards lo-
cated farther away. Upon the rec-
ord before us, we are of the opin-
ion that the operation of the Pro-
duce plant should not be enjoin-
ed. The decree will be modified,
however, to the extent that ap-
pellees will be enjoined from
Placing the offal from the feeding
batteries and other sources in
open cans or placed about the
premises in open containers and
from being removed therefrom in
open conveyances. Accumula-
tions of this character must be
removed in closed containers.
The decree will also be modified
so as to prohibit the use of tal-
low and paraffin with which oth-
er substances have been mixed
so as to increase the odor from
the heating vat in which same
are placed." (page 283-284).
The court, in the Higgins case,
refused to enjoin the operation of
the chicken plant as a nuisance,
but only enjoined certain things in
connection with the operation of
said plant. This case is much like
the Blum case. I am of the opin-
ion that the Council cannot legal-
ly declare the Blum plant a nuis-
ance and order the abatement
thereof.
The Zoning Ordinance of Du-
buque places certain restrictions on
chickens in residential districts.
The Blum plant is located in the
Heavy Industrial District, and there
are no restrictions against the op-
eration of the plant in question in
that district, unless the same con-
stitutes a nuisance.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Wharton moved that
the opinion of City Solicitor Kintz-
inger be received and filed. Sec-
onded by Councilman Moffatt. Car-

Bring ordinances about minors up

laws relating to minors. Therefore
we recommend a careful study and
consideration of these old legisla-
tive measures pertaining to general
health and welfare of minors as
%% ell as of those which deal with
contributing to delinquency of min-
ors. Then having given time to
examine thoroughly these facts
bring up to date that legislation by
modification or amendment as may
be deemed advisable at the time by
making provisions for including re-
sponsibility on the parents as well
as the children. 3. The social agen-
cies of Dubuque pledge themselves

gram which will be of the greatest
help in meeting the needs and de-

panding of our present program to
fully meet this need. 4. We ask the
City Council to work with us in ad-
vancing our efforts to reach and
interest "teen age" youth. Rev.
Thomas J. Megahey, President of
the Dubuque Ministerial Associa-
tion, addressed the Council and pre-
sented the following recommenda-

buque, to co-operate in promoting a
program of moral suasion, whereby
young people are encouraged to es-
tablish a self-imposed curfew as an
act of patriotism, in order to pre-
serve the health and the mental
and moral fitness of young people
in a time of national emergency,
that youth be encouraged through
the proper use of their time, to se-
cure adequate hours of sleep, and
to apply themselves to creative ac-
tivities in order to serve a dual pur-
pose of, first, offsetting the possi-
bility of a war time epidemic and,
second, adequately preparing them-
selves to serve well their country
in times of peace as well as war.
2. That the City Council of Dubuque
call upon the Chief of Police of the
City of Dubuque to rigidly enforce
the law concerning the sale of
drinks to minors in the clubs and
taverns; and that, as an emergency
measure, a 10 o'clock curfew be
imposed upon clubs and taverns for
the duration. 3. That the City
Council of Dubuque call upon the
City Attorney and Juvenile Court
to make effective Statute No. 3658
of the Code of the State of Iowa,
and to interpret it according to the
Precedent established by the ju-
venile judge of Clinton, Iowa,
whereby parents, tavern keepers
and proprietors of clubs permitted
to sell beer, wines and liquors, who
permit or encourage minors to be
on the streets of Dubuque after 10
o'clock at night, unescorted by par-
ents, guardians, or approved adults,
are judged to be contributors to ju-
venile delinquency and therefore
liable to the fines and imprison-
ments imposed by the above men-
tioned statute. After a lengthy dis-
cussion participated in by the re-
presentative leaders in youth work,
interested persons in the Council
Chamber, and the testimony of
three high school boys, Mayor Mur-
phy stated that all thought of a
Curfew Ordinance aimed at control
of the night activities of the young-
sters of Dubuque was abandoned by
a unanimous decision of the City
Council, but that Council would co-
operate in every possible way with
the welfare agencies in finding a
satisfactory solution of the youth
problem and that Council support
would be given to the several
recommendations and program sub-
mitted.

In re: Action of Josephine Spon-

Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: With reference to
the action now pending in the Dis-
trict Court of Dubuque County,
Iowa, entitled Josephine Spon-
heimer, Plaintiff, vs. City of Du-
buque, Iowa, Defendant, claiming
damages in the amount of $7,500.00
for injuries received on or about
January 28, 1943, when plaintiff
tripped, slipped and fell on and
against a ridge of ice negligently
made and erected by the defendant,
located on the crosswalk on the
east intersection on 9th and Main
Street in the City of Dubuque, re-
sulting in serious and permanent
injuries to claimant, wherein she
claims that she received a fracture
to her right wrist and arm which
are permanent, and because of such
injuries she incurred medical care
and treatment, nursing, x-rays and
other necessaries. I have investi-
gated this case and am of the opin-
ion that there is a case against the
City, the obstruction being caused
by the negligence of the City in
removing packed ice and snow for
a distance of approximately four or
five feet from the southerly curb
of West 9th Street where Main
Street crosses West 9th Street and
am satisfied that plaintiff sustained
serious injuries. After such inves-
tigation and consultation with At-
torneys Duffy and Czizek, they have
agreed to settle this case for
$1,500.00. I recommend that a war-
rant for $1,500.00 be issued payable
to John L. Duffy and Czizek and
Czizek, Attorneys for Josephine
Sponheimer, and that the same be
delivered upon delivery to the City
of Dubuque of a Release properly
executed by the Plaintiff.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson m o v e d

Solicitor Kintzinger be approved

torneys for Josephine Sponheimer,
as settlement in full of the claim
and suit of Josephine Sponheimer
and that said warrant be delivered
upon receipt by the City of Du-
buque of a properly executed re-
lease by the Plaintiff. Seconded by

with the following petition for your
approval:
Whereas, all probationary fire-

a preferred eligible list, for future
reappointment.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, That
all probationary firemen who have
served three months on the depart-
ment and who are called into the
service, shall, upon the completion
of their boot training, be placed on
a preferred eligible list for future
reappointment to the Fire Depart-
ment.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen:
The Planning and Zoning Com-
mission met on December 10, 1943
to consider the petition of the Du.
buque Packing Co. requesting the
vacation of a number of streets and
alley easterly of Sycamore Street
referred by the City Council on De-
cember 6th. As this petition and one
of E. E. Frith Co. asking the vaca-
tion of certain streets adjacent to
their property at 18th and Syca-
more Streets has possible conflicts,
it was decided to consider them to-
gether.
Since no map of the latest plans
of the Dock Commission in Lake
Peosta area had been filed, it was
not possible to judge how the pro-
posed changes, especially those of
the Dubuque Packing Company
conformed to such plans.
At a joint meeting of the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission with
representatives of the Dock Com-
mission on December 21st, it was
decided that the Master Plan of the
City of Dubuque requires alteration
with respect to the location of the
proposed channel and the proposed
street adjacent to it.
The Planning -and Zoning Com-
mission respectfully recommend to
233
the City Council that the Master
Plan of the City of Dubuque be
amended to provide for the reloca-
tion of the proposed Peosta Channel
and the proposed Channel Street in
accordance with'the attached plat
and the City Council is requested
to approve the said plan as amend-
ed.
Respectfully submitted,
R. V. McKAY, Secretary,
Planning and Zoning Commission.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission
be approved and the City Solicitor
to be instructed to prepare the prop-
er proceedings. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Thompson. Carried by the
following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Murphy, Council-
men Moffatt, Thompson, Van Duel -
man, Wharton.
Nays—None.
There being no further business
Councilman Thompson moved to
adjourn. Seconded by Councilman
Van Duelman. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Murphy, Council-
men Moffatt, Thompson, Van Duel -
man, Wharton.
Nays—None.

Gentlemen:
I have investigated the claim of
Lucille Theobald that was referred
to me and I find, from an investiga-
tion and consultation with the
claimant that she was walking on
Fifth Street west of the Coopers
barn on the sidewalk, that the side-
walk was clean and clear and that
she left the sidewalk to walk in the
street because she thought it was
more level in the street, and fell
in the street where there was some
smooth ice covered with cinders.
She broke her leg in two places and
has incurred considerable expense,
but I am of the opinion that there
is no liability in the case on the
part of the City and therefore, rec-
ommend that the claim be denied.
I am returning the claim here-
with.

UNITED STATES
RELATIVE TO OPERATION AND

THE DUBUQUE MUNICIPAL

Whereas, the Administrator of
Civil Aeronautics of the United
States Department of Commerce
(hereinafter referred to as the "Ad-
ministrator"), with the approval of
a Board composed of the Secretary
of War, the Secretary of the Navy,
and the Secretary of Commerce, has
designated as necessary for na-
tional defense a project (herein
called the "Project") for develop-
ment of the Dubuque Municipal Air-
port (herein called the "Airport"),
which Project is identified as Dock-
et No. 904-13-9; and
Whereas, as a condition precedent
to release and operation of the Proj-
ect, the Administrator requires that
the City of Dubuque, Iowa (herein
called the "City") have certain prop-
erty interests in the landing area of
the Airport and the lands to be im-
proved under the Project and enter
into an agreement with the United
States (herein called the "Govern-
ment"), in the manner and form
hereof; and
Whereas, the City is legally, fin-
ancially, and otherwise able to en-
ter into such an agreement and de-
sires to avail itself of the benefits
of prosecution of the Project;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved
by the City Council of the City of
Dubuque, Iowa:
Section 1. That for and in con-
sideration of development of the
Airport by the Government as con-
templated by the Project, the City
does hereby covenant and agree
with the Government as follows,
this agreement to become effective
Upon the award of any construction
contract for any portion of the
Project or the inauguration of any
portion of the Project under force
account, and to continue In full force
and effect during the useful life of
the improvements made under the
Project:
(a) The Government shall have
the right to determine the exact na-
ture of the improvements to be
made under the Project, the man-
ner in which the Project is to be
conducted, the amount of Federal
funds to be expended, and all other
matters relating to the Project. The
City will co-operate with the Gov.
ernment to ensure prosecution of
the Project without interference or
hindrance, and agrees to permit the
agents and employees of the Gov-
ernment, and all persons authorized
by the Administrator, to enter upon,
use, and occupy the property to be
developed, as the Administrator
may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with the conduct of the
Project.
(b) The City agrees to indemnify
and save harmless the Government
against and from any and all claims
and damages which may arise from
or in connection with the carrying
out of the Project, excepting claims
for injuries or death to persons re-
sulting from willful or negligent
acts or omissions of the Govern-
ment or any of its officers, em-
ployees, agents, or agencies, all oth-
er claims sounding in tort, and
claims for materials furnished or
work performed pursuant to auth-
ority given by officers, employees,
or agents of the Government.
(c) It is understood and agreed
that all improvements made under
the Project shall be the sole and
absolute property of the City ex-
cept where specifically agreed other-
wise, in writing, prior to the under-
taking of the improvement or in-
stallation in question.
(d) The City agrees that, con-
tinuously during the term of this
agreement, the Airport will be oper-
ated as such, and for no other pur-
pose, and that unless utilized ex-
clusively for military purposes, it

Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938.
(e) The City agrees that it will

and all improvements, facilities, and
equipment which have been or may
be made, constructed, or installed

provements made under the Project,
other than facilities and equipment

provements, facilities, or equip.
ment are leased by or licensed to
the Government for military pur-
poses, the City shall be obligated to

pense of maintenance of the landing
area or airport improvements, facil.
ities, or equipment so leased or li-
censed, which their non-military use
bears to their total use.
(f) Insofar as is within its pow-
ers and reasonable possibly, the
City will prevent any use of land
either within or outside the boun-
daries of the Airport, including the
construction, erection, alteration, or
growth, of any structure or other
object thereon, which would be a
hazard to the landing, taking -off, or
maneuvering of aircraft at the Air-
port, or otherwise limit its useful-
ness as an airport.
(g) In order to protect the rights
and interests of the Government
under this resolution, the City
agrees that it will not enter into
any transaction which would oper.
ate to deprive it of any of the rights
and powers necessary to perform
any or all of the covenants made
herein, unless by such transaction
the obligation to perform all such
covenants is assumed by another
Public agency. The City further
agrees that it will not execute any
deed, lease, operation or manage.
ment agreement, or other instru-
ment affecting the airport or any
Portion or facility thereof or in-
terest therein, even though the oth-
er party to the transaction is the
Government acting through the War
Department or Navy Department,
unless thirty days' notice of its in-
tention so to do has been given to
the Administrator, or unless the Ad-
ministrator has waived the right to
such notice. A copy of the proposed
instrument in question shall be at.
tached to said notice, which shall
state the date upon which the same
is to be executed.
(h) The City agrees that, if re-
quested to do so by the War De.
partment or Navy Department, at
any time during a national emerg-
ency declared by the President, it
will lease the landing area of the
Airport to the Government for
military or naval use, at a nominal
rental, for a term of one year, re-
newable annually at the option of
the Government for such period as
the Government may designate:
Provided, That the lease shall con-
tain an express stipulation that its
term shall not exceed the duration
of the national emergency and six
months thereafter unless an exten-
sion thereof is approved by the Ad-
ministrator. Such lease shall also
conFain a covenant on the part of
the Government to permit, . by in-
strument in writing, use of the
leased premises by commercial, pri-
vate, and other non-military aircraft
to the extent possible without inter-
fering with military operations, and
to bear all of the expense of main-
taining and keeping in good repair
the leased premises and all im-
provements and facilities thereon,
other than that proportion of the
cost of such maintenance for which
the City assumes responsibility un-
der Section 1(e) hereof. The City
further agrees that, during all times
that the lauding area of the Airport
is not held by the Government un-
der lease, the Government shall
have the right to use such area in
common with others, without
charge, to the extent possible with.
out requiring limitation of non-mili-
tary operations.
Section 2. In order to satisfy the
Government that the City is qual-
ified to sponsor the Project under
the project eligibility requirements
of the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
tion and to induce the Government
to proceed with the Project in ac.
cordance with the offer made by the
City in Section 1 hereof, the City
does hereby represent and warrant
to the Government as follows:

Gentlemen: Ordinance No. 9-43
creating a Municipal Playground
and Recreation Commission and de-
fining its powers and duties pro-
vides in part: "Paragraph 959.
Commission Created. Section 1.
That there be and there is hereby
created a commission to be known
as "Municipal Playground and Re-
creation Commission," of nine mem-
bers consisting of the Mayor, Presi-
dent of the Board of Education, the
Superintendent of Public Schools,
the Superintendent of Parochial
Schools, the City Manager, one
member of the Park Board as the
six ex -officio members, together
Special Session, May 29th, 1944 79
with three citizen members, at
least two of whom shall be women,
all of whom shall serve without

It now develops that the duties of
the President of the Board of Edu-
cation prevent his serving on the
Commission. Acting on the advice
of the Board of Education, the Play-
ground and Recreation Commission,
at a meeting held May 25, 1944,
moved to recommend to the City
Council that Ordinance 9-43 be
amended by substituting the words
-a member" in lieu of the word
"President" in the phrase ."Presi-
dent of the Board of Education" and
such action is hereby recommended.
Respectfully submitted,

requested to prepare an amendment

ed by substituting the words "a
member of the City Council" in lieu
of the word "Mayor." Seconded by

May 29, 1944.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Deficits exist in a number of spe-
cial assessment funds whose bonds
have matured and whose future col-
lections will consist of very limited
delinquent payments. These deficits
arise from several causes: First,
the sale of tax -delinquent property
by the County and the subsequent
issuance of Treasurer's deeds, which
operates to wipe out the unpaid
special assessments; second, the re-
duction of assessments by compro-
mise in the past without proper
provision for the payment of the re-
mitted portion and the interest
thereon; third, the shortage of in-
terest that is inevitable with the
same interest rate (5%) applying to
the partial payments as does to the
bonds, but the redemption of the
bonds and the termination of in-
terest on them dependent upon the
accumulation of enough payments
to retire bonds of rather large de-
nominations.
The status of special assessment
funds prior to Number 953 is as
follows:
Prior to Fund 930............ +$ 443.29
Fund 933 ..........................
+ 44.97
Fund 934 ..........................
+ 8.22
Fund 944 ..........................
— 419.46
Fund 945 ..........................
+ 601.33
Fund 946 ..........................
— 552.90
Fund 947 ..........................
— 1,341.61
Fund 948 ..........................
— 2,216.38
Fund 949 ..........................
— 1,021.78
(Includes $500.00 bond
and $12.50
coupon due, but not presented for
payment).
Fund 950 ..........................
+ 11.37
Fund 952 ..........................
+ 130.56
Total .............................. —$4,312.39
To correct this situation, I recom-
mend that in accordance with Sec-
tion 6211-3 of the Code of Iowa, to
meet the deficiencies in assess-
ments, that $4,312.39 be paid from
the, Consolidated Fund to the Spe-
cial Assessment funds as follows:
$419.46 to Fund 944, Main Street
from West 13th to West 17th;
$552.90 to Fund 946, West 17th
Street from Central to West Lo-
cust; $1,341.61 to Fund 947, Roose-
velt Street from Rhomberg to the
North line of Lot 6 of Peil's Sub.;
$976.64 to Fund 948, Main Street,
Jones to West 13th; $1,021.78 to
Fund 949, Boulevard lights on Main
Street from Jones to West 13th
Street. The remainder of the deficit
in Fund 948 is to be cleared by
shifting the balances in funds prior
to 930, and in Funds 933, 934, 945,
950 and 952 totalling $1,239.74.
I further recommend that any col-
lections hereafter accruing to spe-
cial assessments funds prior to
Fund No. 952 be credited to the
Consolidated Fund.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A, RHoMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Man-
ager Rhomberg be approved and
the City Auditor instructed to draw
a warrant in the amount of $4,312.39
against the Consolidated Fund in
favor of the various Special Assess-
ment Funds as recommended. Sec-
onded by Councilman Wharton.

Councilman Murphy not voting.
Councilman Murphy requested that

it is the duty of the City Council to
protect the interest of the tax payer
and further that this property has
been offered for sale at public sale
by County Officials and offer made
which they believed is a fair value
and further because of the fact that
the purchaser desired completion of
the transaction prior to July 1st, in
order to take advantage of the
homestead exemption, I considered
it wise to make an exception in this
case in view of the fact that the City
Manager is familiar with this prop-

In re: Claim of Frank R. Lacy
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Frank R. Lacy, filed on June 23,
1944, for $300.00 referred to me for
investigation and report, I find that
the damage complained of was done
on or about June 12, 1944, by a city
truck which the same was being en-
gaged in governmental duty; that
is, removing trees, branches of
trees, and other debris obstructing
streets in the City as a result of a
storm. The city is duty bound to
keep its streets in a reasonably safe
condition. The law is that if the
action resulting in injury was done
in the exercise of a governmental
function, no liability attaches. I
am of the opinion that the operator
of the truck in question was engag-
ed in a duty of a public nature, for
which there is no liability.
I recommend that the claim be de-
nied. I am returning the claim here-
with.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Kintzinger be approved.

To: Dubuque City Council,
Dubuque Dock Commission,
Dubuque Chamber of Commerce.
Gentlemen:
The undersigned appointed to in-
vestigate the operations of one of
the plants of the Virginia -Carolina
Chemical Corporation visited this
company's plant at Ft. Wayne, In-
diana, Friday, July 7, 1944. This
plant is located in a factory district
about 31A miles from the retail busi-
ness section. At the time of our visit
they were employing from 37 to 40
men, a large percentage of whom
were Mexicans. This plant operates
on a ten-hour daily schedule, and
the rate of pay to laborers is 70
cents per hour, at peak time or dur-
ing the busy season, this plant oper-
ates with a man power of 80 to 90
men. Very few homes are located
in this district.
We found the plan in operation
mixing chemical fertilizer composed
of pulverized phosphate rock, dolo-
mite, limestone, potash, and tobacco
stems. Liquid sulphuric acid is used
in the initial process of preparing
the phosphate rock, but at the time
of our visit this phase of the proces-
sing was not in operation. This
plant does not crush its rock but
the pulverized rock is shipped in in
carload lots.
No odor was noticeable outside of
the plant and in the plant proper.
The only odor that could be detect-
ed was that emanating from the
Pulverized tobacco stems.
Some rock dust was visible on the
outside near the cupola housing the
Special Session, July 20th, 1944 127
elevator which carried the various
ingredients into the mixing hopper. '
Rock dust was also visible on the
outside platform, this condition aris-
ing when cars of pulverized mater-
ials are being unloaded and shovel-
ed from the cars into a chute and
onto a conveyor. It was evident that
this rock dust is heavy and is car-
ried only a short distance. No dust
was visible on the roofs of adjacent
buildings. The company's office is
less than a block away from the
mixer plant, and no sign of dust or
odors were visible or detected by
tts.
The plant manager had not been
notified of our visit, and consequent-
ly normal operations were in pro-
gress.
We were treated with the utmost
courtesy by the manager and
were told that the only time
any obnoxious odors were ob-
served was on such occasions when
something went wrong with the
machinery or other equipment when
the phosphate rock was being
treated with sulphuric acid, but
that such difficulties were immedi-
ately corrected.
We called at the office of the
City Health Department and the
statements of the plant manager
were verified. We were informed
that over a considerable period of
years a few complaints from resi-
dents in the immediate vicinity of
the Virginia -Carolina Chemical
plants had been registered. Im-
mediate personal investigation had
in every instance been made, in-
vestigators remaining in the vicin-
ity of the plant all day. By the time
the inspector reached the plant, the
difficulties had already been cor-
rected, and the operators apparent-
ly knew just what to do and did it
without being urged or compelled
to.
Briefly, we were unable to discov-
er any features that would justify
discrimination against the operation
of this plant both as to being a
health menace or a public nuisance.
Respectfully submitted,
J. J. Shea, City Clerk.
J. A. Kerper, President
Board of Dock
Commissioners.

Honorable Mayor and

Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Hubert Meissen that was submit-

port, Mr. Meissen was driving over
Hempstead Street between Lowell
and Kaufmann Streets at the time
the damages complained of were re-
ceived and for which a claim was
filed with the City on July 19, 1944.
He states that this street was
full of holes of all kind and charac.
ter. From what he says, there
were holes in this street that con.
stituted a dangerous condition to
one driving an automobile in the
street. He filed a claim for $12.00,
but upon investigation I find that
the damage can be replaced for
$10.95.
I recommend that a warrant be
issued payable to him for $10.95
and delivered to him upon delivery
by him to the City of a proper re-
lease.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.

Regarding attached petition of

The proposal is contrary to the
fundamentals of sound zoning and
the established policy of the Com-

pieces of property. Such "Spot
Zoning" in an area which future

District would not be good prac-
tice.

In re: Claim of Charles L. Coffey.
Honorable Mayor and
City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Charles L. Coffey for $80.44,
which was referred to me for in-
vestigation, it appears that the
damage complained of was caused
from an overflow of water from the
approach of the new Julian Du-
buque bridge. At these various
times there was a very unusual
downpour of rain.
From my investigation of this
claim, I do not believe that there
is any liability on the part of the
City and recommend that this claim
be denied.
Yours truly
John J. Kintzinger,
City Solicitor
Councilman Wharton moved that
the recommendation of City Solici-
tor Kintzinger be approved. Sec-
onded by Councilman Van Duelman.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas—Mayor Moffatt, Councilmen
Murphy, Thompson, Van Duelman,
Wharton.

Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Mrs. Joe Kitto for $100.00 damages
that was referred to me for investi-
gation she claims that the damage
was caused because of overflow
from water coming from the new
high bridge. That the Secretary of
the Bridge Commission stated that
was the cause and that she should
file claim with the City of Dubuque.
From my investigation of this
matter, I do not believe that there
is any liability upon the part of
the City and recommend that the
claim be denied.
Yours truly
John W. Kintzinger,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Murphy moved that

In re: Claim of Mrs. Florian Kas-
per.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Upon investigation of this claim
I find that on or about July 4, 1944,
at 2:45 A. M., the claimant, while
walking on Washington Street, trip-
ped and fell on a sidewalk where
two sidewalks joined and one was
somewhat higher than the other;
that she struck her nose and went
to a doctor. She claims $3.00 for
doctor's fees, and $24.80 for loss of
time. After discussion of this mat-
ter with her, she had agreed to ac-
cept $18.00 in full settlement.
I recommend that a warrant be
issued payable to her order for
$18.00, and the same delivered to
her upon delivery to the City of a
Proper release.
Yours truly,
John J. Kintzinger,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson m o v e d
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Kintzinger be approved
and the City Auditor instructed to
draw a warrant in the amount of
$18.00 in favor of Mrs. Florian Kas-
per, as settlement in full of her
claim, and that said warrant be de-
livered to her upon receipt by the

cuted release. Seconded by Coun-

To the Local Board of Health,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At the meeting of the Board of
Health held September 6th the com-
munication of the State Department
of Health concerning the mainten-
ance of a dumping ground in the
rear of Finley Hospital was referred
to the Board to view the grounds.
The Board viewed the site on
September 10th and found an un-
sanitary condition to exist as a re-
sult of the dumping and burning of
tissue papers, bandages, garbage
and refuse. The hospital authori-
ties have agreed to remedy the con-
dition.
I recommend that the attention
of the sanitary inspector be direct-
ed to this location in the future and
that the State Board of Health be
notified of the findings and the con-
templated action.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,

In re: Claim of Mrs. Louis J. Vogel.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The claim of Mrs.
Vogel was filed herein on or about
February 21, 1944, and an Amend-
ment filed on or about April 3, 1944,
claiming $150.00 damages for in-
juries sustained by her on a side-
walk covered with ice and snow in
front of the Louis Duggan property
at 517 Loras Blvd. She sustained
serious injuries, including a frac-
ture through the surgical neck of
the left humerus, with rotation of
the head of. the bone with displace-
ment of the fragments, and other
injuries. She was compelled to wear
a cast for a long time. She has been
under the doctor's care ever since
said time and has incurred actual
expenses in the amount of $313.03.
From my investigation of the mat-
ter, I am of the opinion that there
is a liability, and that this claim
should be settled. After discussion
of the matter with her, they have
agreed to accept $275.00 in full set-
tlement.
I recommend that a warrant be
drawn payable to Mrs. Louis J.
Vogel in the sum of $275.00 and that
the same be delivered to her upon
delivery to the City of a proper
release.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,

The Honorable Mayor,
City of Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa.
Subject: L E A S E S AND USE
AGREEMENTS AFFECTING CAA -
DEVELOPED AIRPORTS.
We have recently received infor-
mation from our Washington office
which might assist your community
in drawing up agreements and
management contracts consistent
with the AP -4 resolution. This reso-
lution was passed by the City of
Dubuque in connection with airport
development work carried on by
this Administration. Very few of
the airport agreements and leases
submitted to our Washington office
have been entirely satisfactory in
respect to retaining the rights and
privileges required by law, indicat-
ing a lack of understanding of CAA
requirements.
There is attached a sheet setting
forth six suggested paragraphs
which would satisfy CAA require-
ments if included in such an agree-
ment, provided it contained nothing
inconsistent therewith. It is con-
sidered necessary that the sub-
stance of all those paragraphs be in-
cluded in every agreement which
actually leases the landing area of
a CAA developed airport to pri-
vate person or concern and that the
substance of Paragraphs 1, 5 and 6
be included in every lease agree-
ment contract effecting such an air-
port.
It is pointed out in this connec-
tion that a lease, unlike an agree-
ment which does not use lease ter-
minology, grants the party which is
to use the property, almost com-
plete dominion and control of the
premises, except as it expressly
limits the rights and privileges
granted and expressly imposes obli-
gations upon the grantee, and there-
fore must be very carefully drafted
if it is not to grant greater rights
and control than intended. For this
reason and because a lease vests in
the lessee an estate in property,
with all the implied rights and priv-
ileges which pass to a lessee by
operation of law, it is our recom-
mendation that instead of using a
lease to establish the rights and du-
ties of the parties, this be done by
means of a simple contract.
In the event that leases have al-
ready been made, it might be pos-
sible to make the renewal in the
form of a contract for the use and/
or management of the airport.
Very truly yours,
W. E. KLINE,
Regional Manager.
By O. C. LeBoutillier.
194 Regular Session, December 4th, 1944
Standard Paragraphs Suggested For
Inclusion In Leases of CAA -
Developed Airports.
OCTOBER 2, 1944.
1. The Lessee agrees to operate
the airport for the use and benefit
of the public; to make available all
airport facilities and services to the
public, without unjust discrimina-
tion; and to refrain from imposing
or levying excessive, discriminatory
or otherwise unreasonable charges
or fees for any use of the airport or
Its facilities or for any airport ser-
vice. It is understood and agreed
that nothing hereto contained shall
be construed to grant or authorize
the granting of an exclusive right
within the meaning of Section 303
of the Civil Aeronautics Act.
2. The Lessor reserves the right
to further develop or improve the
landing area of the airport as it
sees fit, regardless of the desires or
views of the Lessee, and without
interference or hindrance.
3. The Lessor reserves the right,
but shall not be obligated to the
Lessee, to maintain and keep in re-
pair the landing area of the airport
and all publicly owned facilities of
the airport, together with the right
to direct and control all activities
of the Lessee in this regard.
4. The Lessor reserves the right
to take any action it considers nec-
essary to protect the aerial ap-
proaches of the airport against ob-
struction, together with the right to
prevent the Lessee from erecting,
or permitting to be erected, any
building or other structure on the
airport which, in the opinion of the
Lessor would limit the usefulness
of the airport or constitute a hazard
to aircraft.
5. During time of war or national
emergency the Lessor shall have the
right to lease the landing area or
any part thereof to the United
States Government for military or
naval use, and, if any such lease is
executed, the provisions of this in-
strument insofar as they are incon-
sistent with the provisions of the
lease to the Government, shall be
suspended.
6. This lease shall be subordinate
to the provisions of any existing
or future agreement between the
Lessor and the United States, rela-
tive to the operation or mainten-
ance of the airport, the execution of
which has been or may be required
as a condition precedent to the ex.
penditure of Federal funds for the
development of the airport.

November 9, 1944
In re: Claim of Miss Vivian Lee
Honorable Mayor and
City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
I have investigated the claim of
Vivian Lee filed herein on Septem.
ber 29, 1944, wherein she claims
that on or about August 28, 1944, in
front of the premises at 1660 Un-
iversity Avenue she was injured on
account of a defective sidewalk, it
appearing that the defect in the
sidewalk was caused by the roots
of trees raising parts of the side-
walk. That while walking on this
sidewalk, she tripped, fell and
struck her face and body, breaking
and knocking out her teeth, cutting
her face and legs, bruising and dis-
figuring her body and breaking her
eye glasses; and she was confined
to her home, losing time from her
employment and suffering perman-
ent personal damage in the sum of
$3,000. After investigation of the
facts in this case, and a view of the
sidewalk, I am of the opinion that
the defect is very dangerous and
there is a liability upon the part of
the City. I consulted with her at-
torneys, Smith, O'Connor, Thomas
& Ryan and find that her actual
damages and expenses amount to
$261.50. That they have agreed to
settle this case upon payment to
them of $625.00.
I recommend that said claim be
allowed in the sum of $625.00; that
a warrant be issued payable to
Smith, O'Connor, Thomas & Ryan,
Attorneys for Vivian Lee for said
amount and the same be delivered
to them upon delivery to the City
of Dubuque of a release properly
executed.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Kintzinger be approved
and the City Auditor instructed to
draw a warrant in the amount of
$625.00 in favor of Smith, O'Con.
nor, Thomas & Ryan, Attorneys for
Vivian Lee, as settlement in full of
her claim and that said warrant be
delivered upon receipt by the City
of Dubuque of a properly executed
release. Seconded by Councilman
Wharton. Carried by the follow-
ing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Moffatt, Council-
men Murphy, Thompson, Van Duel -
man, Wharton.
