December 21, 1944 City Clerk, City of Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa. Dear Sir: We are writing this letter to you at the request of our good agent, Sanner & Hogan, 715 Central Avenue, Dubuque, Iowa. In order that you may fully under- stand what bonds these agents are authorized to write, we are enclos- ing a copy of our power of attorney that is furnished to them. You will note that there are several types of bonds that are authorized under this power of attorney, and the limits are shown opposite each different type of bond. They are authorized to issue any of the bonds mentioned on this power of attorney, provided, of course, that they attach a copy of their power of attorney to each bond executed. We have also furnished these agents with certain types of bonds already executed by an officer of the Company, upon which a power of attorney is not necessary, and I am referring particularly to Class B and C Beer Bonds, Notary Bonds and Cigarette Bonds. No power of at- torney is necessary for any of these bonds that are issued by Sanner & Hogan for the reason that these bonds have been signed by an of- ficer of the Company at our Home Office, and it is only necessary that they countersign the bonds in order to comply with the countersignature law of the State of Iowa. This coun- tersignature, of course, has no bear- ing upon the validity of the bond. It merely complies with the rules of the State Insurance Department. We sincerely trust that this is the Information that you desire, and that you will approve of any bonds executed by Sanner & Hogan where- in their power of attorney is being used, limited, of course, only to the bonds mentioned in the power of attorney itself.

Beck and Frank R. Lacy, Plaintiffs, vs. City of Dubuque, Defendant. Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The above action is now pending in the District Court, wherein plaintiff is asking for $300.00 on three separate divisions of his Petition. The facts in this case are that a City owned truck, while being used to remove debris and obstructions from the streets, ran upon and over a sidewalk and struck a building located on the northwest corner of 15th Street and Central Avenue on or about June 12, 1944, said building being owned by Fank R. Lacy and occupied by John C. Beck in the operation of a drug store, causing damage to the build- ing and the contents thereof. The Supreme Court of Iowa, in the case of Jones vs. City of Sioux City, 185 Iowa 1178 and 1188 and 1189, stated: "The duty of the city with refer- ence to its streets is a corporate duty." The same ruling has been fol- lowed in the case of Leckliter vs. City of Des Moines, 211 Iowa 251. The City, while acting in a corporate capacity, is liable for the negli- gence of its servants. After conference with plaintiffs, they have agreed to accept $425.00, the City to pay the court costs of the above action in the District Court of Dubuque County, Iowa. Said action is to be dismissed by Plaintiffs. It is my recommendation that a warrant be drawn in favor of Frank R. Lacy and John C. Beck in the sum of $425.00, that it be delivered to them upon the execution and de- livery to the City of a release pro- perly executed by both parties, and of a written dismissal of said action. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Murphy moved that the recommendation of City So- licitor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $425.00 in favor of Frank R. Lacy and John C. Beck as settlement in full of L their Action and Suit and that said warrant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a pro- perly executed release by both par- ties, and of a written dismissal of said Action and Suit. Seconded by Councilman Thompson. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Moffatt, Council- men Murphy, Thompson, Van Duel - man, Wharton. Nays—None. February 9, 1945. In re: Claim of Charles T. Landon. Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On March 15, 1943, Charles T. Landon filed a claim with the City for $320.00 for damages caused by one City Twuck going through a stop signal on West Third and Alpine Street and running into his car. The claim was referred to me and I recommended that the claim be denied on the ground that the City truck was being engaged in a governmental duty. The Coun- cil approved my recommendation. Since that time I have thorough- ly investigated the law on this sub- ject and from my investigation and examination, I am of the opinion that the truck, at the time and place in question was acting in a corpo- rate capacity on behalf of the City and that the City is liable for any damage caused by the negligence of the operator of said truck. I wish to withdraw the recommen- dation made by me and now recom- mend that said claim be allowed in the sum of $160.00 and that a warrant be drawn in that amount payable to Charles T. Landon and the same be delivered to him upon delivery to the City of a properly executed release. 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 $160.00 in favor of Charles T. Lan- don, as settlement in full of his claim, and that said warrant be de- livered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a properly executed re - 28 Regular Session, March 5th, 1945 lease.

In re: Claim of Margaret Mueller. Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In reference to the claim of Margaret Mueller for $200.00, from my investigation of this claim I find that on January 27, 1945, Margaret Mueller was waiting for a bus at Mike Sand's place of business on Central Avenue. That she saw a bus coming east on Cen- tral Avenue, left the place where she was waiting, ran across the street, slipped and fell near the crosswalk. She sustained a broken right ankle and has had consider- able expense. From my investigation I feel that if there is any liability upon the part of the City, which is doubtful, that claimant herself was negli- gent, and, therefore, not entitled to recovery. I recommend that this claim be denied. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Murphy moved that the recommendation of City Soli- citor Kintzinger be approved. Sec- onded by Councilman Wharton. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Moffatt, Council- men Murphy, Thompson, Van Duel. Man, Wharton. Nays—None. February 8, 1945. In re: Claim of Mrs. Agatha Wedewer. Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: From my investiga- tion I find that on December 27, 1944, Mrs. Agatha Wedewer, while walking east on West Fifth Street, fell on ice and snow in front of the Premises located at 895 West Fifth Street, received a broken bone in her left ankle, causing her to ob- tain medical attention and assist- ance at her home; that she is still suffering from the injury she re- ceived. That she incurred a doctor's bill in the amount of $37.00, paid $4.50 for taxi, and additional help in the amount of $45.00, making a total expense of $86.50. After con- ference with her, she has agreed to accept $50.00 in full settlement of any and all claim she has against the City. I recommend that a warrant be issued in her favor for the sum of $50.00 and that the same be deliv- ered to her upon delivery to the City of a release properly executed by her. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Van Duelman moved that the recommendation of City So- licitor Kintzinger be approved and that the City Auditor be instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $50.00 in favor of Mrs. Agatha Wedewer, as settlement in full if her claim, and that said warrant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a properly executed release.

Mc- Gough. Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: In regard to the claim of Mrs. P. H. McGough for $500.00 damages because of injuries sustained by her on January 2, 1945, in falling on a sidewalk between 2135 and 2139 Jackson Street which was covered with rough, dangerous ice, I find that there was an icy condition at this place and that Mrs. McGough, because of the fall, fractured her right wrist compelling her to obtain the services of a physician and the hospital; that she is still going to the doctor and will be compelled to do so for the next two months. That her bills for the hospital and doctor are $73.75. That she has agreed to settle this claim for her actual expenses. Regular Session, March 5th, 1945 29 I, therefore, recommend that a warrant be issued payable to Mrs. P. H. McGough in the sum of $73.75, and that the same be delivered to her upon delivery to the City of a release properly executed by her. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor.

Gentlemen: At the session of the city council held April 2, 1945 the petition of the Stampfer Building Company requesting permission to place a heating tunnel under the alley pavement in the rear of the store building and also for permis- sion to attach a metal stack of a proposed boiler room to the three story brick fire station at 9th and Iowa Streets was referred to the Council to view the grounds. The council viewed the site and decided to allow the heating tunnel in the alley, but not the attachment of the metal stack to the fire sta- tion as shown on the plan. Since then the plans for the stack con- struction have been revised so that no attachment to the fire station will be necessary. I recommend that the council grant the petition of the Stampfer Building Company for permission to place a heating tunnel in the al- ley between Main and Iowa Streets connecting the South % of City Lot 31 with the Lot 1 of the Subdivision of City Lots 170 and the East 43 feet of 171 and the North 2 feet of the East 43 feet of 172 by the pass- age of a proper ordinance.

Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: City Manager, A. A. Rhomberg, has called our attention to the petition, filed with your Hon- orable Body on April 23, 1945, by James F. Lee and others, pertaining to bus service on West Locust Street. The petitioners refer to "two-way transportation as provided in the original franchise," evidently refer- ring to some provision in the fran- chise in effect prior to the franchise under which we are now operating, as our present franchise makes no such provision. You are probably aware of the fact that when street railway service was abandoned in Dubuque and bus service substituted therefore, the Interstate P o w e r Company, with the approval of the City Council made numerous changes in its bus routes to better serve a greater area of the City of Dubuque. One of these changes in- volved out -bound service nerving the northwest part of the City to be routed over Madison and Seminary Street to a junction with the former route at West Locust and Seminary at the Senior High School. This gave one-way service over Seminary Street, which had not been served by transportation facilities up to that time, and one-way service over 94 Regular Session, June 4th, 1945 West Locust Street. This service apparently has been very satisfac- tory to both of these residential dis- tricts since the inauguration of this service in 1932. Furthermore, it would not be economically feasible to render two-way service on two streets so closely related as -Jest Locust and Seminary Street. Since the creation of the Office of Defense Transportation as a war- time measure, all transportation companies operate under the juris- diction of this commission, and they have issued very strict regulations regarding the expansion of any ber- vice to a given community, or part thereof, unless it can be definitely shown that such expansion of ser- vice is in the interest of the war effort. Furthermore our equipment is be- ing pushed to the limit to accom- modate the present volume of traf- fic and it would be very difficult for the company to give any additional service, with the equipment now available, even with the permission of the Office of Defense Transporta• tion. The company is making every possible effort to secure additional equipment, and in fact, have War Production Board approval for the purchase of more equipment, but the manufacturers advise that such equipment will not be available be- fore the earliest part of 1946. We are giving you this report for your general information. Very truly yours, INTERSTATE POWER COMPANY, C. E. DOVE, District Manager. Councilman Van Duelman moved that the communication be received and made a matter of record. Sec- onded by Councilman Moffatt.

Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: There is now pend- ing in the District Court of Dubuque County, Iowa, an action of S. G. Skaife, Administrator of the Estate of Jennie Skaife, Deceased, vs. City of Dubuque for $10,000.00 damages, in which action it is claimed that Jennie Skaife fell on or about De- cember 31, 1944, while crossing on the southerly side of Kaufmann Ave- nue where Main Street intersects with Kaufmann Avenue at which place she slipped and fell on some rough, ridged uneven snow and ice. She sustained a fracture of her left hip and internal injuries from which she died. I have investigated this case quite thoroughly, have had a num- ber of different conferences with the Attorney for the claimant and they have agreed to accept $400.00 in full settlement of their claim against the City for damages and dismiss the action. I recommend that said claim and action be settled by the city paying to S. G. Skaife, Administrator of the Estate of Jennie Skalfe, Deceased, the sum of $400.00. That a warrant be issued to said Administrator for said amount and delivered to him upon delivery to the City of a Re. lease properly executed by him as such Administrator after such Ad- ministrator secures authority from the Court so to do. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Van Duelman moved that the recommendation of City So- licitor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $400.00 in favor of S. G. Skaife, Adminis- trator of the Estate of Jennie Skaife, Deceased, as settlement in full of the claim and court action, and that said warrant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a properly executed release and after said Administrator secures authority from the Court so to do.

In re: Claim of Helen Kessler. Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque. Iowa. Gentlemen: Helen Kessler com- menced an action against the City in the District Court of Iowa for damages in the amount of $5,000.00. This case has been set for trial for June 4, 1945. A proposition was made to me to settle this case for $2,250.00, but I coud not see myself clear to recommend such a settle- ment. I prepared for trial and was all ready to proceed with the trial. Then they desired to know what proposition of settlement I would recommend and I told them $500.00. After some negotiation they have agreed to accept $650.00 in full set- tlement if I would recommend the same. After investigation of the facts and law in this case it perhaps would be a question for the jury to determine the amount of damages. Plaintiff claims that she fell on a sidewalk that was covered with an accumulation of packed, rough, rounded and uneven slippery snow and ice which was dangerous and hazardous to persons traveling over it, said condition being on the side- walk at No. 1264 West Twelfth Street; that at the time of her fall, on November 29, 1944, she sustained a fracture to her left wrist; that she is a practical nurse and earned $35.00 a week and has been unable to work any since said time because of said injury. That in addition thereto she sustained a doctor's bill in the amount of $67.50. She claims permanent injury. Regular Session, June 4th, 1945 97 From my investigation of the facts, I am of the opinion that this case should be settled for $650.00: I, therefore, recommend that a warrant be drawn payable to the or. der of M. H. Czizek, Attorney for Helen Kessler, for $650.00 and that the same be delivered upon delivery to the City of a release properly executed by her and upon dismissal of her action in the District Court. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Wharton moved that the recommendation of City Solic- itor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $650.00 in favor of M. H. Czizek, Attorney for Helen Kessler, as settlement -n full of the claim and court action, and that said warrant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a properly executed release and upon dismissal of the action in the Dis- trict Court.

Gentlemen: Since V -Day in Europe is an ac- complished fact, it appears that some reconversion of industry to automobile production will take place in the not distant future. The "A" card ration of gasoline was increased 50% on June 22nd. Continued progress in the war against Japan is bringing nearer the day when travel by car will reach and surpass pre-war figures. These trends indicate the press- ing need for solution of the park- ing problem in the congested dis- tricts of the city. Since the reg- ulation of the on -the -street curb parking is perhaps the most im- portant part of our problem, I recommend that the City Council investigate the possibilities of parking meters. It is to be re- membered, however, that parking meters alone will not solve the situation and that the other as- 116 Regular Session, July 2nd, 1945 pects of the problem deserve con- tinuing study and attention. Respectfully submitted, A. A. Rhomberg, City Manager. Councilman Murphy moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Rhomberg be approved and the City Manager instructed to secure necessary information re- garding parking meters and sub- mit the same for Council consider- ation. Seconded by Councilman Wharton. Carried by the follow- ing vote: Yeas—Mayor Thompson, Coun- cilmen Moffatt, Murphy, Van Du- elman, Wharton. Nays—None. Resolution No. 56-45 Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City of Dubuque that the following, having com- plied with the provisions of law relating to the sale of cigarettes within the City of Dubuque, be granted a permit to sell cigarettes and cigarette papers within said City and the Manager is directed to issue such permit on behalf of said City.

September 28, 1945 In re: Claim of Elinor Workman Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to the claim of Mrs. Elinor Workman, re- ferred to me for investigation and report, I find that claimant, while diving an automobile on July 30, 1945 at the intersection of Loras Boulevard and Bluff Street, the car came into contact with a projection on a fire plug at the southwest corner of Loras Boulevard and Bluff Street extending into the street; that such condition is dangerous and further, that because of such condition the City is liable. I recom- mend that the claim be allowed and a warrant be issued in the sum of $20.00 payable to H. F. Reynolds, Attorney for Mrs. Elinor Workman and the same be delivered upon delivery to the City of a release properly executed by claimant. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER 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 $20.00 in favor of H. F. Reynolds, attorney for Mrs. Elinor Workman, 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.

September 28, 1945 In re: Claim of John Langel Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to the claim of John T. Langel, referred to me for investigation and report, the facts disclose that on. August 6, 1945, about 10:00 p. m. a car driven by Mr. Langel went over a manhole cover located immediately south of Ninth Street on Locust Street that tipped and caused the wheels of his car to go into the manhole causing damage to the car in the amount of $26.36. I further find that on the day before a com- plaint was made about the same cover and, therefore, the City had knowledge of the condition. An in- spection showed that the cover was defective and immediately there- after a new cap and ring were in- stalled. I am of the opinion that there is a liability and recommend that a warrant be drawn payable to the claimant in the amount of $26.36 and delivered to him upon delivery to the City of a properly executed release. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER Councilman Wharton moved that the recommendation of City Solici- tor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $26.36 in favor of John Langel, as settlement in full of his claim, and that said warrant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a proper- Regular Session, October, lst, 1945 189 ly executed receipt.

October 18, 1945 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Re; Dubuque Packing Plant, Du- buque, Iowa Gentlemen: In accordance with the motion adopted by the City Council on October 12, 1945, I made a survey of the situation together with Mr. H. W. Wahlert, president of the Dubuque Packing Company. After a thorough investigation and discussion of the matter, the fol- lowing are my recommendations: The City of Dubuque to move Street Box No. 32, now located at 17th & Maple Streets to the alley corner on 17th Street, between Maple and Cedar Streets. The City of Dubuque to purchase and install a Street Box at 18th and Sycamore Streets, this box would also give protection to the Frith Co. plant and other buildings in Regular Session, November 5th, 1945 233 that neighborhood. The Dubuque Packing Company to purchase and install a Master Alarm Box at or near its 16th Street entrance, out. side of the building. Several sub- stations located at the points of greatest fire hazard throughout the plant and stock yards, to be con- nected to the Master Box. The Mas- ter Box would also give fire alarm service to the other buildings in this vicinity. The City of Dubuque to connect the Master Box to its regular Fire Alarm System. The above plan has been agreed to in its entirety by Mr. H. W. Wahlert. It is my considered opinion that the plan outlined above will give the Dubuque Packing Company and surrounding buildings adequate fire alarm protection. Respectfully submitted, PERRY H.

He has agreed to accept $50.00 in full pay- ment of his claim. I recommend that the claim be settled for the sum of $50.00 and that a warrant be drawn in favor of Peter W.

I further find that the City had notice of the dangerous condition of this tree and that the claimant had no knowledge of the dangerous condi- tion thereof. His car was damaged and an estimate shows that the ap- proximate cost of placing the car in practically the same condition it was before is somewhere in the neighborhood of $125.00. He has agreed to settle this claim for $85.00. I recommend that the claim be allowed in the amount of $85.00 and that a warrant be drawn payable to his order and delivered to him upon delivery to the City of a prop- erly executed release.

October 29, 1945 Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to the Application for Class "B" Permit for private club of "American Vet- erans of World War II, Dubuque Post No. 3" (commonly called the AMVETS) referred to me for a legal opinion, I respectfully submit the following: It is provided by the Statutes of Iowa: "1921.110 Permits to Clubs. Cities and towns, including cities under special charter, shall upon proper application issue, to a club within their respective limits a class "B" permit for the sale of beer for con- sumption on the premises subject to the provisions of this chapter. 1921.112. Application. Every club desirous of obtaining a class "B" permit shall make a written applica- tion therefor, executed by its presi- dent and attested by its secretary or other similar officers perform- ing the duties usually performed by a president or secretary which ap- plication shall state under oath: a. The name of the club and the location of the premises occupied by it. b. The names of the officers of said club. c. That the buildings occupied by said club are wholly within the cor- porate limits of the city or town to which such application is made. d. The purposes for which such club was formed and is maintained, and the number of the bona fide members thereof regularly paying dues. e. That the application for such permit was approved by a majority of the bona fide members of such club present at a regular meeting or at a special meeting called to consider the same." The application as filed conform: with the provisions of Section 1921.112, except that it fails to state the purposes for which such slut was formed and is maintained, but attached to the application is a cer tified copy of the Charter of the Amvets which sets forth in detai -he purposes for which such club vas formed and is maintained. The Application complies with the re- xuirements of the Statute. The duty of the Council is fixed by: "Sec. 1921.118. Investigation of applicant. The authorities empow- ered by this chapter to issue per- mits shall make a thorough investi. gation to determine the fitness of the applicant and the truth of the statements made in and accompany- ing the application, and the decision of such authority on the applica- tion shall be rendered within thirty days after the application is re- ceived. Application for Class "B" Club Permits heretofore made a showing under Section 1921.111 of the Code. The Attorney General in the last opinion pertaining to beer permits for City clubs stated this Section does not apply to City clubs. I here- with quote the entire opinion: December 20, 1939, "Mr. F. H. Lounsberry, County Attorney, Neva- da, Iowa; You have requested an opinion from this office in regard to the following question: Has the city council of the town of Ames, Iowa, the right to issue a beer permit to the Ames Elk Lodge which has recently been or- ganized and has not been in con- tinuous operation as a club for more than a few months? We understand the sole question is as to whether or not such a per- mit could be issued because of the fact that the club was not in con- tinuous operation as a club for at least two years prior to the date of its application and we are assum- ing that all of the other provisions of Section 19214110 (1937 Code now Sec. 1921.111 of the 1939 Code) have been complied with. Section 1921- f109 (1937 Code, now Sec. 1921.110 of the 1939 Code) grants the cities and towns the right to issue Class I'D" beer permits to clubs upon proper application. Section 19214110 (1937 Code, now Sec. 1921.111 of the 1939 Code) states the conditions under which such permits shall be granted. A reading of this latter section shows that the conditions are really stated in the negative in that the statute provides that no club shall be grant- 236 Regular Session, November 5th, 1945 ed a Class "B" permit if and unless certain conditions are present or requirements are not complied with. This section is rather long and we do not quote it in this opinion, but taking up the subsequent para- graphs in order we find that in sub- section "a" no permit shall be granted to a club if the building oc- cupied by such club is not wholly within the territorial limits of the city limits of the city or town and subsection "b" provides that no per- mit shall be issued if the club is a proprietary club, or operated for pecuniary profit. Then follow sub- sections "c" "d" "e" and "f" pro- viding that the permit shall not issue unless certain conditions are present. It is noted, however, that in the last few lines of subsection "a" pro- vision is made that the golf and country clubs shall comply with the restrictions contained in the suc- ceeding paragraphs of the section. There is no statement in subsection "a" that the city clubs shall comply with all of the restrictions of the subsections after section "a". The succeeding restrictions in c, d, e, and f would therefore clearly be applicable to golf and country clubs but not applicable to appli- cants by city clubs. This seems to be the legislative intent for clearly there is no reason for placing such restrictions on city clubs. Such Class "B" beer permits are issued to other Class "B" applicants in the city without such restrictions as outlined in subsections c, d, e, and f and there would seem to be no reason for placing such restrictions on a city club application. We do find, however, on examining other statutes, that where the board of supervisors issue permits, similar restrictions are placed on such is- suance. Thus we find the board of supervisors is authorized to issue permits in villages platted prior to January 1, 1934. This is somewhat similar to subsection f where the right to grant the permit to a club is based on the club having been in; operation since the first (Aay of January A. D., 1934. It is our conclusion, therefore, that subsections b, c, d, a and f in Section 1921-f110 are limitations on the board of supervisor's right to Issue Class "B" beer permits to golf and country clubs and in no way restrict the right of the city coun- cil to issue Class "B" beer permits to city clubs. We therefore hold that the city council of Ames could, in this instance, issue a Class "B" beer permit to the Elks Club at Ames. We are not unmindful of the fact that this overrules the opinion of July, 1937 to Mr. M. C. Williams, County Attorney of Boone, Iowa." This opinion is applicable to the Application for Class "B" permit filed by Hiawatha Club. The pur- poses for which that Club is operat- ed and maintained is stated in the Articles of Incorporation attached to the Application. The Attorney General's office in a letter to the writer states: October 26, 1945 Mr. John J. Kintzinger, City Solicitor, Dubuque, Iowa Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 23rd, this department has not issued any opinion pertaining to beer permits for city clubs since December 20, 1939.

Street Intersections. Winding streets are desirable but wherever Possible intersecting streets shall be at right angles. d. Grades. In general, streets in resi- dential districts shall follow the contours to minimize grades, which shall not be in excess of ten per cent (10%). A variation from this requirement may be made to meet the existing conditions of topogra- phy after consultation with the City Engineer. Subdividers shall bring streets to proper grade be- fore lots are offered for sale to the public. e. AdJoining Street System, Relation to. All thoroughfares and minor streets shall be continous or in alignment with existing streets and of the same or greater width, un- less variations are deemed advis- able by the Planning and 'Zoning Commission. It is desirable to plan a minimum of subdivision en- trances to avoid traffic hazards. Heavy traffic shall be diverted around subdivisions. /. Dead End Streets. In general Cul- de -Sacs are recommended but so- called dead end streets or alleys shall not be accepted unless it is clear that through traffic at such a street is essential to the street system in that district; and under the said conditions, a dead end street must have adequate turning space for vehicles. g. Names of streets. Streets that are obviously in alignment with others already existing and named shall bear the names of the existing streets. Names for new streets shall not duplicate nor sound simi- lar to existing street names. Street names shall be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. h. Alleys. Alleys, where permitted, shall have a minimum width of twenty feet (20') but alleys in resi- dential districts should be dis- couraged. A cut off shall be made at all alley intersections within a block by a curve, the radius of which is not less than 10 feet. i. Easements. Where alleys are not provided, easments of not less than four feet in width shall be provid- ed on each side of all rear lot lines and side lines where necessary for Public utility requirements. Ease- ments of greater widths may be required along lines or across lots, where necessary for the extension of main sewer and similar utilities. As far as possible, all utilities shall be underground. Subdividers should be encouraged to supply water and sewer utilities before lots are offer- ed for sale to the public. 2. Blocks The best lengths of blocks will be determined in most cases either by topography or by the hest subdivision of the property. a. Length. No blocks shall be longer than thirteen hundred and twenty feet (1320') between street lines. In blocks over seven hundred and fifty feet (7501) in length a right- of-way shall be dedicated for a cross walk near the center of the block. The right-of-way for such walks shall be not less than ten feet (10'). b. Width. In new subdivisions at a distance from property already platted, block widths shall be established except for special rea- sons, at from two hundred (200') to three hundred feet (300'). 3. Lots. a. Area and Dimensions. The mini- mum dimensions for residence lots shall be: Sixty feet (60') for width and one hundred feet (1001) for depth and in no case shall an irreg- ular-shaped lot contain less than six thousand (6000) square feet. Corner residence lots shall have a mini- mum width of seventy feet (70') to permit the maintenance of ade- quate space on both side and front. Residential lots on major street Intersections and at all other points likely to be dangerous shall have a radius of fiteen feet (15') at the street corner. These requirements may be modified by the Planning and Zoning Commission where to- pography and other conditions make them impractical. b. Lot Lines. In all rectangular lots and so far as possible all other lots, the side lines shall be at right angles to the street on which the lot faces and in the case of curved streets at right angles to the point of tangency. Lots with double frontage should be avoided. c. Remnant Lots. In such cases where irregularity of ownership or street lines would produce remnant lots, the area of which would be less than six thousand (6000) square feet, such areas shall be added to adjoining lots or left unplatted and marked "Lands" until such time as arrangement may be made with adjoining property owners for proper platting of such land. Regular Session, December 3rd, 1945 _ 257 4. Building Lines. a. The proposed building lines and area regulations shall be shown for all lots intended for residential use of any character, and shall not be less than the minimum as pro- vided in the Zoning Ordinance. This requirement may be modified by the Planning and Zoning Com- mission where the topography or other conditions make this imprac- ticable. Staggered building lines are given preference in good sub- division planning, and are recom- mended by the Planning and Zon- ing Commission. 5. Parks, Playgrounds and School Sites. a. In subdividing property due con- sideration shall be given to the dedication of suitable sites for schools, parks and playgrounds, so as to conform as nearly as possible to the recommendations of the City Plan Commission in its Master Plan of the city and adjacent areas. Such provision should be in- dicated on the preliminary plan in order that it may be determined when and in what manner such areas will be dedicated to the city. Il. Acreage Subdivisions. a. When the parcel is subdivided into larger tracts than for building lots, such parcels shall be divided so as to allow for the opening of major streets and the ultimate extension of adjacent minor streets and shall be in multiples of not less than lot areas required by this. ordi- nance.

December 3, 1945 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: At the September 3rd meeting I was instructed to ask the Iowa State Highway Commission to conduct a traffic survey at the en- trance to the new Julien Dubuque Bridge. I wrote as follows: "Mr. Fred White, Iowa State Highway Commission, Ames, Iowa. Dear Sir: At a recent meeting of the Dubuque City Council I was instructed to write you concerning the need for traffic regulation at the intersection of U. S. 20 and U. S. 52, otherwise known as Dodge and Locust Streets and the approach to the Julien Dubuque Bridge. The increase of traffic since V -J Day has thrown this problem into sharp focus. It is the belief of the city officials that stop and go lights are needed at this intersection. We ask that you have a survey made in order to work out the proper solution. Pending the result of the survey, stop signs might well be erected on the four corners stopping the traffic in all directions. Your consideration of this matter will be greatly appreciated." The Commission has since made the survey and the findings and conclusions are embodied in the at- tached report, which is hereby sub- mitted. Respectfully submitted, A. A. RHOMBERG, City Manager Councilman Wharton moved that the communication of City Mana- ger Rhomberg be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Murphy. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Thompson, Council- men Moffatt, Murphy, Van Duel - man, Wharton. Nays—None. IOWA STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION Ames, Iowa December 20, 1945 Mr. A. A. Rhomberg, City Manager, Dubuque, Iowa In re: Traffic survey at Junction of the extensions of Highway 20 and 52 in Dubuque. Dear Sir: In response to your re- quest, we made some traffic sur- veys at the intersection of Locust and Dodge Streets, which is the in- tersection of extensions of High- ways 20 and 52 in Dubuque. These surveys covered a checking of the turning movements of vehicles dur- ing one week day and also check- ing of traffic volume over a three day period by automatic counter. I am sending you two diagrams, on of which shows the turning movement of traffic between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 10th and the other shows the volume during the peak hour between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. on the same day. I also send you a copy of the summary sheet showing the detailed figures for this traffic by half hour periods during the same time. The average daily traffic as shown by the three day automatic traffic count showed 9640 vehicles on Locust Street to the north, 3865 vehicles on Locust Street to the south, 4280 vehicles on Dodge Street to the west and 3270 vehicles to- ward the toll bridge on Dodge Street. The figures for the bridge traffic was supplied by Mr. Ellwanger of the Bridge Commission. According to these figures, the traffic does not meet the ordinary warrants which would require a traffic sig- nal. There is a rather heavy left turn movement, which also does not meet the warrants for a signal. The pedestrian traffic is rather light. Mr. Burch's observation was there 264 Regular Session, December 3rd, 1945 was very little delay in turning at any period of the day, and that such delay as there was would not be nearly as much as there would be with a signal installation. It was his observation that the traffic handled itself rather well, and his Information was that there had been no serious accidents and very few minor ones. It is possible that this situation might be somewhat improved if some channelizing of traffic could be secured through painted traffic markings on the pavement. It might be worth while to experiment with such markings with that end in view. If you think that this might be worthwhile, we would be glad to check with you from time to time as to the results obtained. Very truly yours, W. O. PRICE, Engineer Safety and Traffic Councilman Wharton moved that the communication of the Iowa S t a t e Highway Commission be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Murphy.

Gentlemen: The present method of financing milk inspecting in the City of Dubuque is by appropriation from real estate taxes and from milk inspection fees. These fees are paid by the producers at a rate of one cent per hundredweight of milk. The services required by the distributors and processors of milk products are such as to indicate that a more equitable financial ar- rangement would be to have all share in the cost — the public through general tax and both the Producer and distributor through fees. General agreement has been reached with the milk distributors on this subject and I am able to report to the Council that they will not oppose the levy of one cent per hundredweight on their milk. Since there are 48 quarts of milk per cwt., the one -forty-eighth of a cent per quart is not intended to form any justification for any advance in the retail price of milk. I recommend that the ordinances regulating the fees for milk inspec- tion be amended by providing for the collection of one cent per cwt. of milk from the distributor in ad- dition to the fee now collected from the producer. Respectfully submitted A. A. RHOMBERG, City Manager Councilman Moffatt moved that the recommendation of City Mana- ger Rhomberg be approved and the City Solicitor requested to prepare the proper amendment to the milk ordinance.

In re: Claim of Veda Kersch Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: I have investigated the above claim and find that on or about January 13, 1946 Veda Kersch fell while crossing at the intersection of Julien Avenue with West Eighth Street, at which place the crossing was in a dangerous condition, bbing covered with a layer of rough, rounded ice and snow, at which time she broke her left ankle and other- wise injured her nervous system, causing her to lose time and to in- cur expenses and obligations for medical, nursing, surgical and hos- pital treatment, for which she claims damages in the sum of $1000.00. After investigation of this matter, I have had several conferences with her Attorney, Mr. R. P. Roedell, and I am of the opinion that there is a jury question in this case. They have now agreed to accept $100.00 in full -payment of their claim. I recommend that a warrant be issued payable to Mr. R. P. Roedell, Attorney for Veda Kersch in the sum of $100.00 and that the same be delivered to her upon delivery to the City of a Release properly ex- ecuted by Veda Kersch. Yours truly JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Murphy moved that the recommendation of City Solici- tor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $100.00 in favor of Mr. R. P. Roedell, Attorney for Veda Kersch, as settlement in full of her claim, and that said war- rant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a properly executed release. Seconded by Coun- cilman Moffatt. Carried by the fol- lowing vote: Yeas—Mayor Thompson, Council- men Moffatt, Murphy, Van Duelman, Wharton. Nays—None. In re: Claim of Francis Ryder Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to the claim of Francis Ryder submitted to me some time ago. I flnd that on Janu- ary 4, 1946, claimant, while crossing' Dodge Street at Grandview slipped and fell on some rough, rounded ice which was in a dangerous condition, resulting in a fracture to her right wrist causing her to employ a phy- sician. That the doctor described the fracture as "Fracture, commin- uted, radius (rt) impacted and ex- tending into joint." After talking the matter over with claimant, she has agreed to accept $85.00 in full payment of her claim. I am of the opinion that this claim should be settled and there- fore, recommend that a warrant be drawn payable to her order for said amount of $85.00 and delivered to her upon delivery to the City of a properly executed release. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Moffatt moved that the recommendation of City Solici- tor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $85.00 in favor of Francis Ryder, as settle- ment in full of her claim, and that said warrant be delivered upon re- ceipt by the City of Dubuque of a properly executed r e l e a s e.

Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to petition en- titled "Petition for Suspension or Remission of Taxes on Account of Age or Inflrmity" of Mrs. Melba Riniker, referred to the City Coun- cil by the Board of Supervisors for action and report, I wish to report: This application gives as the reas- on for such suspension, "Widow with four children." Sec. 6950 of the Code provides: "Whenever a person by reason of age or infirmity is un- able to contribute to public revenue" That an applicant is a "widow with four children" is not made a ground for suspension of .taxes un- der the law. Sec. 6950 further provides: "such person may file a Petition duly sworn to with the Board of Super- visors stating such fact and giving a statement of property, real or per- sonal, owned or possessed by such applicant" The Petition herein fails to com- ply with the above requirements. In the Petition there is stated "Per. sonal Property" and lines to be used for the insertion of such infor. mation, but I find nothing therein. The Petition herein cannot be ap- proved for the reasons above stated. The Petition with a copy of this Re- port should be returned to the Board of Supervisors. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Murphy moved that the recommendation of City Solici- tor Kintzinger be approved and the Board of Supervisors be notified of Council action.

Frith and his wife conveyed to the City of Dubuque by Warranty Deed: Lot 2 of the Subdivision of Lot 3 of the Subdivision of Lot 1 of the Subdivision of Lot 10, in Kniest, Guthrie & Brown's Subdivision in Dubuque and we believe ordinari- ly referred to as Kniest's Subdi- vision and that on July 2, 1892 said Eugene E. Frith and his wife conveyed the same property to Frank Russo; that Frank Russo, after the conveyance to him, built a house on said prem- ises and has been using and occu- pying the same under color of title ever since said time; that the City of Dubuque did not take possession of said real estate, but it appears that the City of Dubuque did take possession of Lot 2 of 1 of 10 which is next adjoining the above de- scribed premises to the south and used said premises to build Lincoln Avenue. That a Quit Claim Deed should be made and executed by the City to the applicant in order to clear any cloud on the title be- cause of the two deeds hereinbe. fore referred to.

That plats are now on file showing the respect- iveparts of the alley in the rear of Lot 41 as Lot 41A and that in the rear of Lot 42 as 42A.

Carried by the following vote: Yeas-- Mayor Thompson, Coun- -ilmen Moffatt, Murphy, Van Duel - man, Wharton. Nays—None. March 20, 1946. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Because of the pronounced in- crease in population of this muni- cipality and the consequent lack of housing, the Planing and Zon- ing Commission with the know- ledge and approval of the City Council has been studying the problem of easing this shortage by means of rezoning certain areas now classified as two family dis- tricts into multiple family dis- tricts. The Commission feels that cer- tain districts now lend themselves to this rezoning even when the efect of such rezoning is consid- ered over a long period of time. The Commission respectfully calls the Council's attention to the fact that wholesale rezoning of large areas in this period of crisis ap- pears very desirable, but it will actually work to the detriment of the majority of the land owners a very few years from now, and that this hardship may not be relieved for possibly another century. The Commission will, however, conn tinue its study of rezoning and recommend changes as rapidly as dependable studies can be made. The Planning and Zoning Com- mission respectfully recommends to the City Council the rezoning from Two -Family Classification to Multiple Family Clasification all that area included in the Two - Family Zone bounded on the southerly side by 22nd Street, on the easterly side by the Chicago, Great Western tracks, on the northerly side by the City limits, and the westerly side by a line 100 feet west of the westerly side Of Central Avenue.
