Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 18, 1917.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The case of James H.
Hahn vs. City of Dubuque, Law No.
19145, was called for trial at the
present term of the District Court.
This was a personal injury action for
which damages were sought to the
e, -,.tent of Ten Thousand ($10,000.00)
Dollars. On Jan. 11th, 1917, the
plaintiff fell on Johnson avenue near
Eagle Point avenue and sustained a
broken hip. The claim was based
upon the fact that the sidewalk at
that point was permitted to be dang-
erous because of accumulations of ice
awl show thereon. When the case
was called for trial the plaintiff sub-
mitted a proposition of settlement to
the undersigned which appealed to us
as being fair and reasonable. The
proposition was that the city pay the
plaintiff the sum of Two Hundred
Thirty-five ($235.00) Dollars, where-
upon the plaintiff would dismiss his
suit and pay all costs made in court.
In view of all the circumstances it
was deemed advisable by the under-
signed to effect a settlement of the
case for the above amount.
We, therefore, recommend that our
action In effecting this settlement be
approved by you and that a warrant
be drawn in favor of Walter Koerner.

of Two Hundred Thirty-five ($235.00)
Dollars and the treasurer be instruct-

Gentlemen: In connection with
the various contracts for street

that this is the only vibrolithic work

We respectfully request your per-
mhosion to assign the above contract
to Uhlrich-Paley Co., and we are
requesting the Bonding Co., in the
event this assignment meets with
your approval, to give their approval
to the assignment.
Yours very truly,
CENTRAL ENGINEERING CO.
—By O. W. G. Nobis, Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager.

April 21st, 1925.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The petition of prop-
erty ownerri in the vicinity of An-
gella street, Cox street and West
17th street, asking that.a culvert be
put in at 17th and Cox street after
which this intersection will be grad-
ually fitted so as to bring Cox street
to grade, was referred to the City
Manager at the meeting held on
April 6th.
I have investigated the matter and
find that about two hundred and
fifty feet of three foot culvert will
be needed. I think that this can be
bought for approximately $6.00 per
foot.
When the proposition was referred
to me I felt that it ought not to be
done at this time. When I went out
on the ground and investigated con-
ditions I came to the conclusion that
this culvert ought to be put in with-
out further delay. It can of course,
be constructed only by general city
Bunds and the cost will be about
$1500.00.
I Session, April 23rd, 1921 167
I would recommend that thts work e
be done and paid for out of the cur- t
rent funds not otherwise appropriat-
ed. If this culvert is placed it will ]
only be a few years before C6x
street is brought to grade from West
17th street to Angella street. This
will be a wonderfully fine way to
get through from 14th street to the
Angella Hill and will mean a great
deal to thisi particular section. For
that reason I recommend that the
work be done at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Gabriel moved that
the recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and the work or-
dered to be done. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Brede. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel and Schrempf.
Nays—None.
Absent—Councilman Melchior.
April 7th, 1925.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Peter Semon, is the
owner of Lot 213 Woodlawn Park Ad-
dition. This lot was assessed. $3.00
for cutting weeds. On the return of
the owner to the city he paid the
a,fsessment and later investigated it
and came to the conclusion that no
weeds were cut on this property.
A rodman in the Engineer's office
who prepared the assessment roll
was out on the ground with Mr. Se-
mon and grants that there was an
error made in the asr:essment.
I would therefore recommend that
a warrant be drawn on the General
Fund in favor of Peter Semen, in
the sum of $3.00 to reimburse him
for the erroneous assessment levied
against his lot.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the

be approved, and the Auditor be in

The 12th Street boulevard

Put to extensive use.
In view of the objections raised
relative to the Prescott School
playgrounds and the potential dan-

To further utilize the use of 12th

levard from the East side of Main

Street.

December 15, 1948.
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Mrs. R. Fred Erickson for damages
because of injuries sustained by
her on a crosswalk at Univer-
sity Avenue and Walnut Street on
June 11th, 1948, the 1946 Code of
Iowa provides: "614.1 Period of.
Actions may be brought within
the times herein limited, re-
spectively, after their causes
accrue, and not afterwards, except
when otherwise specially declared:
"1. In actions for injuries from
defects in roads or streets—no-
tice. Those founded on injury
to the person on account of de-
fective roads, bridges, streets, or
sidewalks, within three months,
unless written notice specifying
the time, place, and circumstan-
ces of the injury shall have been
served upon the county or muni-
cipal corporation to be charged
within sixty days from the hap-
pening of the injury."
Under this provision of the sta-
tute, there is nothing the City
Council can do, and it is my opin-
on that this claim be rejected.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. Kintzinger
City Solicitor
Councilman Murphy moved that
the opinion of City Solicitor Kint-
zinger be approved. Seconded by

December 16, 1948
Honorable Mayor and
T.1embers of the City Council of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
With reference to the com-
munication of Carl V. Riley
and Mrs. Regina Duggan in re-
gard to the special assessment
against property owned by them
for the improvement of Platt
Street, it is provided by the 1946
Code of Iowa as follows:
"391.48. Assessment—rate. When
any city council levies a n y
special assessment for any
public improvement against any
lot, such special assessment shall
be in proportion to the special
benefits conferred upon the pro-
perty thereby and not in excess
of such benefits. Such assess-
ment shall not exceed twenty-
five percent of the actual value
of the lot at the time of levy,
and the last preceding assess-
ment roll shall be taken as prim-
a facie evidence of such value.
"391.49. Additional limitation. No
special assessment against any
lot shall be more than ten per-
cent in excess of the estimated
cost."
The estimated cost against the
Riley property was $522.56; under
the section of the statute last
above quoted the assessment may
be $522.56 plus $52.25, or a total
of $574.81. The assessment as lev-
ied is $526.67.
The eoett
against the
Duggan prPry was$384.50. Ten
percent addition would make a to-
tal permissible assessment of
$422.95. In my opinion both Of
g Regular Session, January 3rd, 1949
the above special assessments
come within the provision of the
law.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER
City Solicitor.

The Honorable Mayor &
Members of the City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
uentlemen:
St. Clara College is erecting St.
Dominic's villa on a plot of ground
north of Dodge street in the City
of Dubuque. Af t e r thoroughly
studying the matter with City of-
ficials, it has been determined that
tae most appropriate place for St.
Clara College to connect with the
sanitary sewer system in Dubuque
is at or near the intersection of
Dodge and Peabody Street. This
will entail the laying of approxi-
mately 140 feet of ten (10) inch
sewer pipe in Peabody Street and
some 77 feet of ten (10) inch sewer
pipe under and through Dodge
Street.
We have prepared an Ordinance
which would grant to St. Clara
College the permission to construct
this sewer in and through Pea-
body Street and Dodge Street. The
usual protective clauses in behalf
of the City of Dubuque are con-
tained in said Ordinance and the
construction of said sewer is to
be under the direction and su-
pervision of the City Manager and
the City Engineer of the City of
Dubuque, Iowa.
It is respectfully requested that
you grant St. Clara College authori-
ty to construct the sanitary sewer
as hereinbefore stated and as out-
lined in the attached Ordinance,
and it is further requested that
Ordinance No. 2.49. An ordi-
uance granting to St. Clara Col-
lege, a Wisconsin, non-pfrofit cor-
poration its successors and assigns,

sewer in Peabody Street and in
Dodge Street from the existing
sanitary sewer now located in
Dodge Street thence northwesterly
through Dodge Street and Peabody
Street, and prescribing the con-
c;itions of this grant and regulating
the connection with said existing
sanitary sewer on Dodge Street,
presented and read. Councilman

the present tentative allocation.
We are pleased to advise you
that the tentative allocation is

amount of the application.
Sincerely yours,

February 5, 1949.
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council. ,Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At a special meet-
ing of the City Council of the City
of Dubuque, Iowa held on January
13, 1949, a motion was adopted
referring to me for investigation
and report the matter of restrict-
ing parking to one side of Rhom-
berg Avenue from the Chicago
Great Western Railroad Tracks to
Marshall Street.
I find the following conditions
existent on Rhomberg Avenue: On
the southeasterly side of Rhom-
berg Avenue there are three gro-
cery stores, one school and one
tavern; on the northwesterly side
of Rhomberg Avenue there are six
grocery stoles, four taverns, two
drug stores, two gasoline stations,
one barber shop and one shoe re-
pair shop.
There are useable alleys in the
rear of the abutting property on
both sides of Rhomberg Avenue
from Kniest Street to Marshall
Street. Rhomberg Avenue be-
tween the curbs at the Chicago
Great Western Railroad Tracks is
34 feet 4 inches in width; at Staf.
ford Avenue 34 feet 4 inches in
width; at Marshall Street 35 feet
4 inches in width. At Marshall
Street Rhomberg Avenue widens
out considerably in the northeaster-
ly direction.
There is a high accident prone
area involving moving vehicles
The same is true in hit and run
cases involving properly parked
cars being side swiped. Rhomberg
Avenue is an Interstate bus route.
It is a U. S. Highway leading into
Wisconsin and points of great inter-
est in the City of Dubuque.
A number of business people
were interviewed. All agreed that
traffic conditions were bad on
Rhomberg Avenue. They also re-
gistered objections to complete re-
striction, stating complete restric-
tion would harm their business.
It is my opinion that moving
traffic on Rhomberg Avenue is
great enough to be placed in the
catagory of first consideraion. The
business establishments should fall
next in line.
In view of my findings and giv-
ing consideration to both vehicu-
lar traffic and business interests,
I herewith submit the following
recommendation:
That parking on the southeast-
erly side of Rhomberg Avenue
from the Chicago Great Western
Railroad Tracks to Marshall Street
be restricted not to exceed fif-
teen (15) minutes.
It is my opinion this will afford
greater accessability to the busi-
ness houses and eliminate the con-
gestion caused by long time park-
ing resulting in benefits to taffic
conditions and business as well.
Respectfully submitted,
CHIEF JOS. H. STRUB,
Polic Department
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of Chief
of Police Strub be approved and
the proper proceedings ordered
prepared. Seconded by Council-
man Murphy. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:

February 7, 1949.
Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the Council
Meeting held January 31, the City
Manager and Chief of Police were
requested to furnish date and in-
formation as to whether or not the
Police Department can be operat-
ed under the present setup on a
forty hour work week and that
said report be presented to the
Council at its next meeting. In
compliance with such request, the
following report is presented.
The budget for the current fis-
cal year, which began April 1, 1948,
and will end March 31, 1949, was
adopted by an ordinance of the
City Council on March 19, 1948
and appropriated $135,824.20 for
the Police Department of which
$125,149.20 was appropriated for
the payment of salaries of 44 mem-
bers of the Department, which in-
cludes two policewomen. At pre-
sent there are forty-two in the De-
partment, one recent recruit hav-
ing
ing resigned on February
after
having started in the Fire depart-
ment prior to being on the Police
Department. The Civil Service eli-
gible list is exhausted and a new
ter examinations areilheld in April.
30 Regular Session, February 7th, 1949
The present working arrange
ment on a forty-eight hour, six
day work week is as follows: Shift
from 4 a.m. to 12 noon—eight men
including one captain, one sergeant
one detective and one police court
clerk with four patrolmen. Shift
from 12 Noon to 8 p.m.—eight men
including one captain, one ser-
geant, one man at the Violations
Desk, one foot patrolman and four
men assigned to prowl cars. Shift
from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.—eighteen
men including one captain, one
sergeant six men in prowl cars
and ten patrolmen on foot.
The following special details are
also operated: Shift from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m.—two men on three -wheel
motorcycles for the regulation of
parking. Two shifts, one from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. and another from
6 p.m. to 2 a.m.—two men on each
shift for accident investigation.
It is evident that a given number
of people working a forty hour,
five day work week will make
available 116 less total man hours
of police work than the present
system of a forty-eight hour, six
day work week. This would re-
sult in less service to the public.
Since there has been a continu-
ing demand for more police ser-
vice in our growing community,
we would hesitate to recommend
anything that would diminish such
service and we take leave to point
out the other alternative.
To maintain the same amount
Of police service as at present
with a forty hour, five day work
week, an additional six men, one
additional car and one additional
three -wheel motorcycle would be
required at a probable increased
cost to the Police Department of
about $20,000.00 per year.

ed, are the lawful owners of Lot
15, Whelan's Subdivision and Lots
15, 16, 17, 18 and Lot 45 in Grad -
view Place in the City of Dubuque
and do hereby protest and ob-
ject to the final adoption of Re-
solution No. 40-49 preliminary ap-
proval of Plans and Specifications,
plat and schedule and cost of im-
provement known now as the Brad-
ley Street Sewer District as set
down in Resolution No. 41-49
known as Resolution of Necessity,
for the following reasons:
1. Because the proposed assess-
ment against Lot 15 in Whelan's
Subdivision is in excess of $3.00
per linear front foot of sewer and
is not in accordance with Section
391-42 of the code of Iowa.
2. Because the proposed assess-
xnants against Lots 15, 16, 17, 18
and Lot 45 in Grandview Place,
which said lots are not going to
be served by the proposed sewer,
are being assessed in excess of
and benefits or benefits if any con-
ferred upon said lots in said pro-
posed improvements.
3. Because the proposed assess-
ments against Lots 15, 16, 17, 18
in Whelan's Subdivision and Lot
45 in Grandview Place are more
than provided by law.
4. Because it is proposed to as-
sess privately owned property in-
cluding Lot 15 in Whelan's Subdi-
vision and Lots 15, 16, 17, 18, and
Lot 45 in Grandview Place owned
by the undersigned, for such items
as repairing and replacing of pave-
ments, sidewalks, removing trees,
etc., which are not such items as
may be properly assessed against
abutting or adjacent property.
5. Because an excessive arbitrary
valuation has been established
by the Council upon L o t 15
Whelan's Subdivision and Lots 15,
16, 17, 18 and Lot 45 in Grand-
view Place and such valuation is
adopted as a sole basis for the pro-
posed assessments against the
same, instead of assessing abut-
ting property not to exceed $3.00
per linerar front foot of sewer as
provided by law.
6. Because the proposed as-
sessments against our property, as
described abe, are illegal., void, ex-
cessive, and inequitable for all the
reasons hereinabove set forth.
7. That this letter of ojbection
be made a matter of record so
that in the event of district court
action to refrain the City of Du-
buque from collecting the propos-
ed assessments, this letter of ob-
jection of the Bradley Street Sew-
er District resolution shall be proof
that the City Mayor and City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque, Iowa
have been duly notified.

Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: At the February 7th
meeting of the City Council, a de.
finite recommendation was re-
quested on the matter of a forty
hour work week for the Police De-
partment. The report submitted
on the same date indicated that
a forty hour, five day work week
could not be put into effect with
the present authorized strength of
the department without reducing
service to the public. It further
showed that the present amount of
service could be had by increasing
the number of men and units of
equipment at an estimated increas-
ed cost of $20,000.00 per year.
Because we do not feel that the
Public service should be curtailed
and because $20,000.00 additional
money is not on hand, we recom-
mend that the present work
week for policemen be retained.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. Rhomberg,
City Manager.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Delton E.,Winters for $1,000.00 for
injuries suffered to Sheryl Lynn
Winters because of injuries receiv-
ed by his five-year old daughter
on or about December 4, 1948 in
a car that was driven by Delton E.
Winters which ran into and collid-
ed with a barricade on Windsor
Avenue where a sewer was con-
stiocted, which was referred to me
for investigation and report. I
found that the said claimant was
ai rested and the complaint filed
against him in police court for
speeding. That upon trial he was
convicted and paid a fine of $10
and costs; that the car skided
forty-three feet before striking the
barricade, hitting the barricade and
an rir compressor which was being
used in the construction of the
sewer; that the barricade had
been put up the night before and
that flares had' been lit in front
of said barricade in the street,
that the flares had been knocked
over, and oil was spilt on the street.
It is my opinion that complainant
is guilty of contributory negligence.
Said Delton E. Winters filed a
claim for $425.30 damages to his
automobile which was sustained
at the same time and place.
I recommend that both of the
above claims be denied.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER

Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City Solic-
itor Kintzinger be approved. Sec-
onded by Councilman Wharton.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City

City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Adele O'Brien for damages for
injuries sustained on or about
October 19, 1948 while in a shelter
or pavilion located in Eagle Point
Park, which has been referred to
me for investigation and report,
the law applicable to this case is
found in Norman v. City of Char-
iton, 201 Iowa at .page 272, which
is as follows:
"The construction and mainten-
ance by a municipal corporation of
a public park constitute the exer-
cise of a governmental function,
and therefore the municipality is
not liable for damages consequent
on the negligence of its own em-
ployees employed on such construc-
tion and maintenance."
I recommend that this claim be
der. ied.
Yours truly,
John J. Kintzinger

Councilman Wharton moved that
the recommendation of City Sol-
icitor Kintzinger be approved. Sec-

With reference to the claim of
William F. Appel and Belle L.
Appel referred to me for investi-

for $100.00 which covers attorney's
fees for preparing objections to the
Bradley Street sewer. There is
nothing in the law to warrant the
City to pay a claim of this charac-
ter, and I therefore recommend
that the claim be denied.

and find that this is a 30ft street,
that there is very much traffic to

the general public as well as the
vehicles of the people who conduct
buednesses in the building known
as the old Corn Belt Packing Co.

consideration to vehicular traffic
ahid business interests, I herewith
make the following recommenda-
tion.
That parking be restricted at all
times on the North side of East

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The completed plans and spec-
ifications for the proposed water
softening plant are now at hand.
A copy is hereby submitted for
consideration by the council.
To finance this project it is es-
timated that $600,000.00 of revenue
bonds would need to be issued and
sold. In order to amortize such
debt and pay the costs of operating
the water softening plant, an in-
crease of one-third in water rates
would become necessary. If the
council desires to proceed with
this project, it is suggested that
an ample period of advertising
for proposals be provided and that
the bids for the construction and
for the bond sale be received on
the same date so that the cost of
financing and of construction may
be analyzed together.
Your further instructions in
this matter are awaited.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.

Rhomberg, together with the pro-

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Charles R. Rittenhouse submitted
to me for investigation and report,
on Monday January 31st, 1949 at
about 7:00 P. M. claimant while
walking in a westerly direc-
tion on the sidewalk on the
north side of 29th Street be-
tween White Street and Jackson
Street, stepped on some rough,
rounded and uneven ice and fell
to the sidewalk, and received in-
juries to his back which required
him to have medical and surgical
attention, and which incapacitated
him for approximately four and
one half weeks from his work;
that his attorney claims that he
is entitled to $1,000.00 damages
because of the injuries received
and the pain and suffering sus-
tained .by him. This sidewalk was
in a dangerous condition at the
time in question. After conferences
with his attorney, they have agreed
to settle this matter for $250.00.
1 recommend that this claim be
settled for two hundred and fifty
($250.00) dollars, and that a warrant
be issued payable to John K.
Chalmers, attorney for Charles R.
Rittenhouse for $250.00, and that
the same be delivered to him upon
delivery to the City of a release
properly executed by 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 John K.
Chamlers, Attorney for Charles R.
Rittenhouse, as settlement in full
of the claim, and that said warrant
be delivered upon receipt by the
Special Session, May 16th, 1949 205
City of Dubuque of a properly ex-
ecuted release. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Welu. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Yeas—Mayor Wharton, Councilmen
Russo, Thompson, Van Duelman,
Welu.
Nays—None.
May 16, 1949.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Herewith is submitted Profile No.
1322 showing the proposed grade
on West Third Street from Algona

Profile No. 1333 showing the pro-
posed grade on Cross Street from

May 16, 1949.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The petition of the Interstate
Power Company submitting pro -
Posed
ro-
posed changes in bus routes was
referred to me for the purpose of
conferring with the officials of the
Interstate Power Company. Pur-
suant to your instructions I have
met with them and hereby report
to you.
The changes proposed may be
summarized as follows: The com-
pany asks that the Main, Lin-
wood and Point routes be changed
on their north-bojind runs from
Loras Boulevard and East 14th
Street to 12th Street and that the
present Mt. Carmel -Fremont and
Cleveland Avenue routes
revert back to the pre-war Fremont
and Cleveland -Mt. Carmel lines with
the variation that Lombard Street
and the southerly end of Algona
Street would be afforded bus ser-
vice on the Fremont route.
There appears to be no dispute
about the changes proposed for the
Main, Linwood and Point routes.
The written objection received deals
with the Fremont and Cleveland -
Mt. Carmel lines. A sutdy of
these proposals indicates that while
there would be no north bound
bus service on Grandview Avenue
from Bryant Street to Delhi Street,
service for the greater number of
bus patrons in the area would be
expedited and further that more
people would be helped than those
who might be somewhat discom-
moded.
For the reasons outlined I re-
commend that the ordinance desig-
nating bus routes be re -written to
include the changes as proposed
by the Interstate Power Company.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG
City Manager.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of City
Manager Rhomberg be made a mat-
ter of record and City Solicitor in-
structed to prepare proper ordi-
nances. Seconded by Councilman
Welu. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas—Mayor Wharton, Council-
men Russo, Thompson, Van Duel -
man, Welu.
Nays—None.

others objecting to the proposed

May 10, 1949.
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
RE: A NEW TRAFFIC CODE.
Gentlemen:
Complete traffic ordinances were
adopted in 1926, 1930 and 1937. In
Special Session, Alay 16th, 1949 207
each instance this action consti-
tuted a complete recodification and
repealing of all prior ordinances
and amendments.
Since 1937 twenty-four amend.
ments have been added to the
last Traffic Code of 10-37. During
the past 12 y: ars there have been
numerous changes made by the
State Legislature. Many of these
changes have been incorporated in
our ordinance through amendments.
There are however, many other
changes of the wording limi-
tations and regulations which are
not at present in our Traffic Code.
The State Legislature has im-
posed some duties on local officials.
These duties must be performed
and it is the recommendation of
the Public Roads Administration
that these duties be covered by
Ordinance so that their perform-
ance will be insured regardless of
changes of administration. Their
Incorporation in this Ordinance will
conform with the Model Traffic
Ordinance as recommended by the
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety.
A study of the proposed Ordi-
nance will show that the rules on
registration and licensing, the rules
of the road and equipment will
follow the code.
The section on parking contains
the State Laws where applicable
and otherwise contains the local
regulations which are within the
powers of local authorities. It will
be found that the parking rules
are the same as those contained
In the last Traffic Cade plus all
the amendments •since then.
There are a few additions. A
study of the past ordinances and
amendments fail to show any au-
thority for time parking restrictions
on Eighth Avenue from Bluff Street
to the west line of Hill Street or
on West 13th Street from Central
Avenue to Main Street. Both of
these sections have been signpost-
ed in the past and have been
Included in this proposed ordinance.
The block on East 10th Street be-
tween Central Avenue and White
Street has been included because
Of the numerous requests of busi-
ness people affected. The south
side of West 24th Street from
Central Avenue to Broadway has
been included in the schedule. This
street has been sign -posted for
years but never included in pre.
vious ordinances.
New sections taken from the
State Code cover several new defin-
itions, the using or false license
plates, duties of emergency vehicles,
exemption of road working crews,
use of farm tractors, duties in
case of injury accidents, new laws
on reporting of accidents, clarifi-
cation of laws on passing, pro-
viding for travel within marked
lanes, providing for one way
streets and alleys, selling of
defective vehicles, covering alley
parking, limiting angle parking
areas, inserting section on enforce-
ment of meters, illegally moving
parked vehicles, inserting section
on one side street parking, calling
for Stop lights, forbidding red lights
in front, forbidding flashing lights,
new section on clear windshields,
new limitations on weight and
height, new section on local re-
sponsibility and criminal responsi-
bility.
Section removed from Ordi-
nance 10-37 because there is no
foundation for them in State Law
anymore or because they have been
radically changed by State Law are
as follows: the section on load
on axles, axle widths, length of
draw bars, windshields, blocking of
railroad tracks (covered in another
ordinance), right-of-way at an in.
tersection (rule 69), leaving alleys
(rules 74 and 76), obedience to
traffic officers (duplication), emit-
ting smoke (covered), right-of-
way on through streets (100) cover-
ed, parking of bicycles, racing of
motors, traffic officer (rule 134),
penalty clause on white cane law
(comes under same clause of or-
dinance).
It will be noted that the differ-
ent paragraphs cover related sub-
jects. With our present ordinance,
because of the many amendments,
itis necessary to look in various
places in the book to find material
looked for. The paragraphs in their
sequence very closely follow the
tog Special Session, May 16th, 1949
plan of the State Code.
The use of schedules it is be-
lieved will keep the main body of
the ordinance fairly intact. Most
amendments are made to items
covered in these schedules and any
future changes can be made with-
out affecting the body of the
ordinance.
The City Council some time ago
authorized the printing of Traffic
Codes. The demand for the pub-
lication is great. It is felt, however,
that because of the many amend-
ments and the length of time since
the :adoption of the last complete
ordinance with the many result-
ant minor and major changes, it
would be best to junk the old
ordinance and enact a complete
new one and a printing thereof
in booklet form.
I herewith submit a draft of the
proposed ordinance and I recom-
mend the repealing of the old or-
dinance and the enactment of the
Proposed ordinance in lieu thereof.
Respectfully submitted,
JOS. H. STRUB,
Chief of Police.
Councilman Russo moved that
the communication of Chief of
Police Strub, together with at-
tached proposed traffic ordinance,
be referred to the City Solicitor
for study and report and that action
be abated on the proposed traffic
ordinance until reports are receiv-
ed from the Chief of Police and
Fire Chief with reference to sur.
veys made on traffic conditions
and hazards at congested intersec-

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
Gentlemen:
At a special meeting of the City
Council held May 16, 1949, the
petition of E. D. Markward re-
questing city water service at 36
Lindberg Terrace was referred to
me for investigation and report.
There is only one house located
on Lindberg Terrace, a distance
of 375 feet from the existing water
main on Eagle Street. There would
be considerable rock excavating if
the main was located in the street.
I have contacted Mr. Mardward and
it is satisfactory with him to extend
a one inch service from Eagle Street
at a location where there is no
rock, to the lot adjacent to his
house. From this point Mr. Mark -
ward will extend this service line
to his house at his expense.
We will try to complete this
extension by Fall of this year,

Mr. A. A. Rhomberg
City Manager..
Dubuque, Iowa
Dear Mr. Rhomberg:
At the meeting today the Com-
mission approved your request of
May 18 for permission to place
and operate traffic signals at the
intersection of Dodge and Locust
Streets, which is also the junction
of U. S. Highway No. 20 and U. S.
Highway No. 61 near the westerly
end of the Julien Dubuque Bridge.
In our conversation about this
matter several weeks ago, I believe
we were agreed that traffic coming
from the bridge and turning right
toward the •business district might
be permitted to make that turn on
a green arrow indication at least
during part of the time that there
is a red signal against the cross
traffic.
It is entirely possible that the
green arrow might be used for
some of the other right turns also.
Also, there should probably be
some traffic laning by paint lines,
perhaps a little differently than
those which have existed. I pre-
sume that you will snake a study of
the entire intersection before deter-
mining just what to do.
If we can help on this, we will
be glad to do do.
Very truly yours,
W. O. PRICE, Engineer
Safety and Traffic
