Councilman Gabriel moved the adoption of the resolution. Seconded by Councilman Brede. Carried by the following vote: Yeas — Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior. Nays —None. Absent— Councilman Rooney. October 28, 1921. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: —At a meeting of the Council held on October 24, the peti- tions of George Fritsch and Mrs. Tuegle, both requesting permission to tear up Central avenue for the purpose of making water connec- tions, were referred to the Ctiy Manager. I find that on April 3, 1913, the City Council directed that notices be served upon all people along Couler avenue from Twenty -sixth street to Peru road, advising them to make all necessary connections and at the same time a resolution was passed forbidding anyone to open this street for a period of ten years after April 23, and providing for a fine of one hundred dollars for each violation of such resolution. Inquiry along this street shows that notices were duly served upon all of the abutting prop- erty owners. I understand that Mrs. Tuegel's only means of support is the brick building located at 2247 Couler ave• nue, and I also assume that she felt at the time that she could not afford either the connection or the use of city water. My suggestion would be that she arrange to hook onto the tap of one of her neighbors until such time as it will be possible to permit her to tear up the street. These taps are very conveniently situated and a connection can be made and both houses can be sup- plied from the same service. While this is contrary to the Water Works rules, yet in my judgment it is the best solution to this proposition. The matter of the petition of J. Fritsch is different. The lot at 2S50 Central avenue runs from Central avenue to White street. Mr. Fritsch lives on White street. This lot was properly connected with both sewer and water years ago. The lot on White street has since been divided and the portion on White street im- m oved. The house occupied by Mr. Fritsch on White street has been supplied with water from - some time October 28, 1921 and has already been installed with the necessary fixtures. There seems to have been sort of a neighborhood quarrel and the party living next to him has disconnected the water sup- plied to Mr. Fritsch, which had pre -• viously passed through their home. Assuming that there would be no difficulty in making the connection on Central avenue, Fritsch has al- ready laid the lateral across the other lot to the curb on Central ave- nue. In view of these facts, I would suggest that a special permit be granted to Mr. Fritsch to make the connection on Central avenue. The water main is located only about eleven feet from the curb line, which will not mean very much of an excavation in the street. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the report of the City Manager on the petitions of Mrs. Tuegel and Joe Fritsch be approved. That Mrs. Tue- gel connect onto the tap of one of her neighbors, and Mr, Fritsch he given a special permit to connect with water mains on Central avenue. Seconded by Councilman Melchior.

Gentlemen: —In about September. 1917, the undersigned, J. P. Frantzen and E. F. Lusch, executors of the estate of Rose M. Walker, filed ob- jections to special assessments against Lots 28; 29 and 30 in Finley, Waples and Burton's addition in the City of Dubuque, abutting O'Hagan street, which said property was as- sess,ed to Rose M. Walker. The re- monstrance which we made against the assessment was received and filed, and we thereupon took an ap- peal to the District Court of Du buque County, Iowa, which said ap- peal is still pendiog. The total as- sessment against said three lots was as follows: $150.00 against Lot 28, 46$.88 against Lot 29 and $28.04 against Lot 30, being a total of $241.92. That at one time we offer- ed to compromise for $150.00 in full payment of the $241.92 assessed against the said three lots. Since that time we have paid the sum of $33.64 on Lot 30. We still stand ready to make settlement on the basis of the former offer of $150:00, less the $33.64 which we have paid; or, in other words, pay in a balance of $116.36 in full payment of said special assessment against said lots for the improvement of O'Hagan street. We might say incidentally that the Assessor made a mistake in assessing these lots together, and in that manner it has been impossible for us to pay the City taxes against this property which, if this matter is settled, we will pay in addition to the special assessment.

Gentlemen: —The improvement of Bluff street from Eighth street to the intersection of Bluff and Locust streets, James Lee, contractor, has been completed. I would recommend the acceptance of the same by the City. The total cost of this improve- ment will be slightly under $2.00 per sq. yd. The asbestos bitulithic top- ping was placed for $1.21 per sy. yd. The street required considerable bin- der in order to build it up sufficient- ly td apply the surface. This binder cost about 75c per sq. yd. instead of 25c as originally estimated. When we actually began to secure a grade to drain the street, it be- came evident that the previous pave- ment had been put in without follow- ing any real line or grade. The fact that the work was done without pro- per engineering was largely respons- ible for the extra 50c per sq. yd. for binder. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. A Resolution. Whereas, the contract for the im- provement of Bluff street from the north property line of Eighth street to the intersection of Locust and Muff street has been completed, and Whereas, the City Manager has examined said work and recom- mended its acceptance, now there- fore be it Resolved by the City Council of the City of Dubuque, that the recom- mendation of the City Manager be approved and that the City Engineer be and he is hereby instructed to prepare a plat and schedule showing the lots or parcels of real estate subject to assessment for said im- provement and file the same in the off ce of the City Clerk subject to public inspection, and that the City Clerk shall upon receipt of such plat and schedule publish the notice of said assessment as is required by law.

Gentlemen: Last year at the time of the December tax sale, we had not yet exhausted all reasonable ef- forts in the collection of delinquent taxes on personal property. For that reason the delinquent taxes on per- sonal property were not certified to the County for collection. Through an error, a considerable number of pieces of property which were duly advertised for sale last year were not sold, as was determ- ined only by checking back on the Treasurer's books with the tax cer- tificates as purchased by the City l and other purchasers. Inasmuch as the last year's tax sale was finally adjourned in September, these pieces of property must now again be cer- tified to the County and re- adver- tised. The deferred payments on these assessments levied prior to April 12th, 1920, are still being collected by the City Treasurer. There are some delinquent assessments on these lists, together with a few de- linquents which were not advertised last year through either an error or promise of the owners to take care of the payments within a few months. I would therefore recommend that the City Clerk be instructed to cer- tify to the County Treasurer for col- lection, all delinquent general taxes on personal property due in 1920 or previously, and on delinquent taxes ,on account of special assessment, re- gardless of the date of special assess- 315 ment or of the reason why the same was not paid. This certification must be in the hands of the County Treasurer not later than Wednesday evening, No- vember 9th, in order to be taken care of in the regular way. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Melchior moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and certification be made. Seconded by Councilman Rooney.

Gentlemen: The petition from the University of Dubuque, asking for cancellation of City taxes against Lot 28 of Reche's Subdivision was referred to the City Manager at the last meeting of the City Council. I beg to advise that I have inves- tigated the proposition and wish to report as follows: Lot 28, Reche's Subdivision, is located at the north- west corner of Hall and Grace Streets. It is improved by a small dwelling. The man occupying the dwelling is employed at the Uni- versity of Dubuque as engineer. This man states that each month a sum of $20.00 is deducted from his regu- lar compensation on account of rent- al of the house he occupies and which belongs to the University of Dubuque. I present these facts for your in- formation, without recommendation. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.

Gentlemen: Some time ago the report of the City Solicitor, with ref- er ence to the petition of Mr. Mullen and others, regarding the location of Dorgan Place, was referred to the City Manager. This was done, I be- lieve, at my suggestion that the true location of Dorgan Place could be definitely proven by the City Engi- neer. It develops, however, that the lo- cation of Dorgan Place, as originally platted, is not the location which the residents desire to have continued at 316 Special Session, November 7th, 1921 this time, but, instead of the loca- tion as originally platted, they wish Dorgan Place to be locate'd, as the same has b'een used for the past twenty or thirty years. A building recently erected encroaches on this traveled thoroughfare. This matter, in my judgment, is a legal one and I believe that it should be investi- gated by the City Solicitor and, if the facts warrant doing so, action should be taken to cause the person who recently put up this structure on the traffic right of way to remove the same. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the petition be referred to the City So- licitor to investigate. Seconded by Councilman Gabriel.

Gentlemen: On Friday, November 4'th, bids were received for the clean- ing of all vaults within the City of Dubuque for the next current year.. The following bids were received: J. Wunderscheid, 14c per cubic foot on the hill, 13c per cubie foot on the level. J. Fond'ell, 16c per cubic foot on the hill, 14c per cubic foot on the level. J. Robinson, 14e per cubic foot on the hill, 126 per cubic foot on the level. Joe Burke, 14'c per cubic foot on the hill, 112c per cubic foot on the level. Guy Hitchcock, 18c per cubic foot on the hill, 16c per cubic foot on the level. The price as bid by Mr. Robinson and Mr. Burke are the same. I un- derstand that Robinson hires other men to do the work for him, because he has no equipment, while Burke has a team and is ready to begin work at once, and in that way is in a position to give better service. Last year the contract was awarded o. J. Robinson at a price of 20c on the hill and 18c on the level. I would therefore recommend that a pontract be authorized between the City of Dubuque for the cleaning of all vaults that may be required to be cleaned during the next current year. Also that a bond in the sum of $250.00 be furnished prior to the ex- ecution of the contract. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.

Total, $37,724.80. Engineer's estimate $27,000.00 for this work. I have got in touch with the City Engineer of Milwaukee, where the Mid - Western Construction Co. has been doing considerable work. He has advised me that they have never had any trouble with the company and that company would now be awarded the contract with the City of Milwaukee if they were the low bidders. Mr. Hewitt, while the Mil- waukee insists upon the use of pre- cast concrete pipe underneath their tracks, assures us that the Chief Engineer will be agreeable to the substitution of concrete built in place and his price is $14.00, and it ,covers the railroad portion as well as the part away from the railroad tracks. Previously the Milwaukee Engi- neering Department had advised us that they would consider nothing un- der their tracks or across their prop- erty but precast concrete pine. The local superintendent of the Milwau- kee also states that this is the only type of construction that they will have put in at this time of the year. I wired the Chicago office tor con- firmation that they would permit pipe to be built in place, but have not yet received a reply. The bid as submitted by the Even TJhlrich- Staner Co. is complete in every way as called for in our advertisement We advertised for the use of precast concrete pipe under the railroad tracks. The Mid - Western Construc- tion Co. did not bid on any precast pipe. Omitting this section of three hundred feet underneath th raeilroad tracks where precast concrete ppe is required by the railroad company the bid of Even- Uhlrich - Staner Co. is somewhat lower than the bid as submitted by the Mid - Western Con- struction Co., inasmuch as we have been directed by the Milwaukee to use nothing but pre -cast concrete pipe under their tracks and while this direction is still mandatory, I do not feel that it would we wise to award a contract for the use of any other type of pipe. I would, there- fore, recommend the acceptance of the bid as submitted by the Even - Uhlrich- Staner Co. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) O. E. CARR, City Manager.

Gentlemen: On August 28, 1893, special assessments were levied against Lots 153 and 153 Woodlawn Park Addition, for the improvement of Fourteenth Street and Auburn Avenue. For the improvement of Auburn Avenue, an assessment of $124.16 was levied against Lot 154. For the improvement of Fourteenth Street, Lot 153 was assessed $82.72. For the improvement of the same street, Lot 154 was assessed $106.94. The total of these assessments amounted to $313.82. Interest on the same at the time of the advertised sale amounted to $75.30. The City of Dubuque bought in this property at the September tax sale and secured tax title to it. The regular taxes have been regularly paid on this property. The owner only recently learned of these old special assessments against it. I have at hand a check drawn in fav- or of the City of Dubuque by Will- iam Lawther, Jr., for $160.00, it be- ing understood that this check should be taken by the City as pay - ment in full for the surrender of the tax titles. These assessments having been levied twenty -eight years ago, the property having passed from the owner at that time into the hands of the purchaser, who has paid taxes on the same for many years without being aware of the existence of any cloud on the title of this property, I would recommend the acceptance of this check as payment in full for the lien which the city has upon the above listed property. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Gabriel moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and the check for $160.00 be accepted as payment in full for the cancellation of the lien which the City has upon the above listed property.

She therefore peti- tions your Honorable Body to pass an order directing the County Treas- urer to accept one -half of said taxes in full of the taxes clue from her and cancel the other one -half of said taxes upon the ground of her pover- ty and inability to pay the same.
