City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: —At a meeting held
June 23rd petition of residents on
Elm street between Rhomberg Ave-
nue and Twenty -first street asking
for eewar and water, was referred
to the City Manager for investiga-
tion and report.
Due to the congested condition of
our main sanitary sewer, I felt some-
what averse to recommending an
extension in this street. At the pre-
sent time the sewage stands well up
in the manhole throughout this en-
tire district.
The property owners after having
'been advised of the conditions are
Still desirous of having 'sewer and
water. This is one of the oldest
streets in the city and is well built
•uii. I would therefore recommend
that the city proceed with the con-
struction of a sanitary sewer in this
Regular Session, July 5th, 1921 145
street ,water also to be installed
as soon as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Mana-
ger be approved, seconded by Coun-
cilman Gabriel. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:

man Brede, Gabriel, Melchoir,

Nays —None.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: —An inspection of side-
walks in our down town districts
shows some sixty -seven conditions in
need of repair. I have also a list of
some thirty -six in which new walks
are recommended. I would therefore
request that the City Council direct
by proper resolutions new side-walks
to be constructed along the following
lots, the resolution also providing
that in case they are not built with-
in fifteen days of the service of the
notice, the city will award a con-
tract and will have new walks con -
structed at the expense of the own-
er of the abutting property.
This is the first list of new walks
to be constructed, but probably not
the last, as we wish to ;get away
from the annual injury to persons
and 'expense to the city on account
of defective walks in the city.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: -Some time ago the
Council approved my recommenda-
tion for the renumbering of houses
in Dubuque in accordance with the
plans as outlined, I have delayed in
carrying out the instructions, think-
ing that we would be able to use one
our own men in the Engineer's office
for this purpose. Time has pased on
and I find that ft is impracticable
and for that reason I engaged Ed-
ward J. Hornick, at the rate of one
hundred and thirty dolars ($130.00)
per month to look after the asigning
of new numbers to the various build-
ings in Dubuque which are now with-
out numbers or which have wrong
numbers.
It is my hope that by the middle
of September this work will be suffi-
ciently advanced so that it can be
completed by someone in connection
with the Engineer's office.
It will probably be necessary this
season or the early part of next year
various streets, both for the benefit
to put up the proper names on the
of strangers and for the benefit of
our residents who do not know the
new names assigned to the various
streets.

Special Session,
Communication from the City Mam
ager recommending that the neces-
sary legislation be prepared and
bowls issued, dated August , in
order to meet the cost of the three
contracts awarded, presented.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
July 20, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: I have today reported
bids on storm water sewers neces-
sary to be constructed prior to the
improvement of Lincoln Avenue.
These bids total $53,087.67. In ad-
ditien to this the City is to furnish
the catch basin and manhole cast-
ings, as well as the brick for use in
the construction of catch basins and
manholes. The total of these im-
provements will therefore amount
to $45,000.00,
We still have another storm sewer
whioh should be built prior to the
improvement of Jackson Street, the
outlet, of which will be in the Bee
Branch Sewer and will be construct-
ed in Nineteenth Street at the Bee
Branch Sewer •to White Street and in
White and Jackson Streets in order
to carry the storm water off the
streets. The City has built storm
water sewers in Jackson Street from
Ninth to Eleventh Streets and in
Tenth Street from Jackson to White
Streets, and in Jackson Street from
Eleventh to Thirteenth, in Twelfth
Street from Jackson to White
Streets, and in Thirteenth Street
from Jackson to White Streets.
It will also be necessary to con-
struct some storm water sewers on
the hill district prior to paving cer-
tain streets next year. I therefore
feel that it will be necessary to is-
sue bonds to the amount of $50,000
to take care of these various storm
water sewer projects and would rec-
ommend that the necessary legisla-
tion be prepared and bonds issued
and dated August 1st, and disposed
of by the City Treasurer from time
to time, in order to meet the cost of.
the three contracts awarded.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Manager
be approved and the City Solicitor
be authorized to prepare the neces-

Communication of City Manager
Carr, relative to a letter received by
him from H. A. Koester, Agent for
May ROMP, stating that on the
Treasurer's Books he finds that May
Rogers is assessed on $6,500.00 on
moneys and credits, and as he under,
stands it, there would be due on this
amount $32.50, but in addition to thip
amount the City has assessed her
$91.00, which he thinks is an error.
He hereby asks the Council to have
this corrected, and the Treasurer in-
structed to take this amount off his
books. Councilman Brede moved
that the prayer of the petition be
granted and the County Treasurer be
notified to cancel the $91.00 personal
taxes against May Rogers. Second-
ed by Councilman Rooney. Carried

City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
July 20, 1921.
City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: On June 28th, the
petition of Max Reznick, through
Walter Koerner, his attorney, acking
for a reduction of special assess-
ments on Lots 4, 5 and 6, in. Cush -
ing's Addition, levied on account of
the construction of a sewer and side-
walk last year, was referred to the
City Manager.
The assessments as levied July 22,
1920, on account of the construction
of a sewer against these lots are as
follows: Lot 4, $91.77; Lot 5, $75.74;
Lot 6, $108.20. A further assessment
of $46.74 was levied against Lot 4
Oil acccount of the construction of a
sewer and turbine gutter. I have as-
certained from the City Assessor
that these lots are given 011 the city
tax books at a value of $200.00 each.
A fair valuation to be used in con-
nection with special assessments
would perhaps be $250.00 each, one -
quarter of which, or the amount to
be levied for any one assessment
would be $62.50. The above state-
ment would be true had the peti-
tioner protested against the assess-
ment on the date of its levy. At that
time we should have levied, under
the law, only $187.50 against these
three lots on account of the sewer,
instead of $275.21, which would have
been a reduction for Mr. Reznick of
$81.28. In view, however, of the fact
that this assessment was levied one
year ago and that it is impossible for
the city to continue to adjust assess-
ments indefinitely, I would room-
164 Special Session, July 21st, 1921
mend that the petition be received
and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the meeting of
July 5th, a petition signed by J. H.
Rhomberg for the grading of Wall
,Street from the levee front to East
Fourth Street, was referred to the
City Manager for investigation and
report.
Our city map shows this particular
block to be vacated, but I can find
no vacation notice. I, therefore,
think the map to be in eror and that
this is a dedicated street.
The petitioner, J. H. Rhomberg,
has paid no city taxes on this proj-
erty since 1907. I feel, therefore,
that it is not fair and just to the tax-
payers of the City of Dubuque to
spend any money for the improve-
ment of this property until such time
as Mr. Rhomberg has cleaned up his
account with the city. I would there-
fore recommend that the petition be
received and filed.

City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Last January a peti-
tion, signed by Mrs. Mary J. Doyle,
asking for a reduction in special
assessment as levied against Lot 306,
Woodlawn Addition, on account of
the improvement of Delaware ave-
nue, was referred to the City Man-
ager. Shortly after, I reported to the
Council, verbally, on this matter.
Mrs. Doyle is not satisfied and for
that reason I am reporting again in
this connection, in writing.
The assessment for the improve-
ment of Delaware avenue was levied
on October 4, 1919. The assessment
against Lot 306 amounted to $127.88.
The records show that on February
7, 1919, Mrs. Doyle petitioned the
Council for a reduction in this as-
sessment, which petition was re-
ceived and filed.
Mrs. Doyle has paid to date $76.82
on account '+of this improvement,
leaving a balance now due of $51.06
with interest from the date of the
last payment, which was made Au-
gust 28, 1920. Mrs. Doyle also owns
the small home, where she lives at
83 St. Mary's street.
Undoubtedly had Mrs. Doyle peti-
tioned the Council for a reduction in
this assessment at the time the as-
sessment was levied and taken the
other necessary steps in order to
protect herself as required by law,
she would have been granted a re-
duction in her assessment of not
less than the balance now due.
I am not in position to advise the
Council as to the proper policy to
pursue in the way of making a re-
duction in this assessment at this
time.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
balance due on Mary J. Doyle's as-
sessment for the improvement of
Delaware avenue, amounting to
$51.06 and interest on same from
date of last payment, August 29,
1920, he cancelled and the Treasurer
be so instructed. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Rooney and carried by the
following vote:
Ayes— Councilmen Brede, Gabriel,
Rooney.
Nays —None.
Absent —Mayor Alderson, Council-
man Melchior.
July 21st, 1921.
City Manager Carr made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: It is quite necessary
that additional water be procured at
Eagle Point, as at the present time
the production of water is very lit-
tle above our actual consumption
needs. I have conferred with Mr.
Maury in Chicago, with reference to,
the best way to increase our supply,
arid after discussing the matter with
him, I am fully convinced that the
logical thing for the City to do is to
put in at once say three six -inch
driven wells. which will increase our
water supply very quickly.
As these wells are being driven, a
very accurate record will be kept of
Special Session, July
the nature of the soil through which
the drill passes. In this way we will
determine as to the location of the
best grade of soil, and later if the
test shows a satisfactory strata of
soil above the hard ground a large
diameter well can be put in which
will itself practically take care of
our present consumption.
These shallow wells will go down
to a depth of between ninety to a
hundred feet and will cost, complete
with strainer aria other accessories,
about five hundred dollars each. If
this proposition meets with the ap-
proval of the Council we will ar-
range to go ahead with the work in
a few days.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved and the City pro-
ceed immediately to drill three shal-
low wells. Seconded by Councilman

Gentlemen: I am handing you
herewith estimated value of the Du-
buque City Water Works as of July
1, 1921. This valuation has been
worked up very carefully by the Wa-
ter Works Superintendent, and I be-
lieve it is an accurate and conserva-
tive valuation of the plant at this
time. I would therefore recommend
that this value of $1,119,367 be set
by the City Council as the value of
the City Water Works Plant, to be
used in connection with the determ-

Remonstrance of Mary A. Halpin,
stating that she is the owner of City

against which the City Council in-
tends to levy a special assessment
for the construction of a sanitary
rower in the alley between Locust

ment to be levied against said lot
and Thos. Robinson et al, as owners
thereof, as per assessment plat on
file in the office of the City Clerk.
That she hereby remonstrates and
objects to the levy of said assess-
ment for the following reasons:
(1) Because said Lot abuts Bluff
Street in said City in which street
there is now a sanitary sewer for
which said Lot has been assessed,
and which sewer is in a serviceable
condition, and serviceably sufficient
to serve said Lot.
(2) Because said assessment con-
templated is not based upon the ben -
efit derived by the property sought
to be assessed, and is, therefore, il-
legal and void.
(3) Because the sewer abutting
said Lot in Bluff Street is amply suf-
ficient to serve said Lot and build-
ings located thereon, or buildings
which may be erected thereon, and
the sewer for which said assessment
is contemplated is not beneficial to
said Lot or necessary therefor.
(4) Because said assessment
contemplated against said Lot for
said sewer in said alley designated,
shall be in so made, in the nature of
a double assessment for an unneces-
sary "improvement" and shall be rea-
son thereof be illegal and void.
(5) Because the use if any, which
said Lot could, or would, derive from
said alleged sewer so constructed in
said alley designated, would be sup-
erfluous, as the said sewer in Bluff
