It is claimed by the contractor that
after he had his grade ready for roll-
ing he was unable to get the city roll-
er to do such rolling, and in order to
save time and as a matter of protec-
tion to the work, he furnished his
own roller and men, and thus did the
work himself. For this work he is
seeking to recover the amount above
stated. In my opinion he has no legal
right to receive the same. Under the
specifications, which are a part of the
contract between the city and the
contractor, it is provided that when a
street shall have been graded and
shaped to its proper form, it shall be
thoroughly rolled with a steam roller
furnished by the city. Under this
section it becomes a part of the city's
duty under the contract to roll the
street when it is ready for rolling,
but in no manner is the contractor
supposed to do that work. The con-
tractor is not expected to do any part
of the city's part of the contract. If
he does perform any part of the
city's contract in excess of what is
expected of him, before he can re-
ceive compensation for such work,
which might be called extra work, he
must have a written order from the
proper authorities. If it is true that
the contractor in this case had some
difficulty in getting the city's roller,
he should had discontinued his work
and waited until the roller was avail-
able, or made some arrangement with
the proper atuhorities for the use of
his own roller and for compensation.
With reference to Mr. Lee's claim
for interest upon the money which
was retained for a year by the city
as a guarantee that the improvement
will be kept in first class condition
for that period of time, it is my opin-
ion that his claim for interest can-
not be sustained. My reason for this
position is that under the contract
with Mr. Lee it is specifically provid-
ed that 5 per cent of the total cost of
the improvement will be retained by
the city for one year after the com-
pletion of the work as a guarantee
that the improvement will be kept in
first class condition for that period
of time. The contractor when he
signs the contract agrees that the
city shall have the right to retain
this amount of money for the pur-
pose above indicated. The object of
this provision in the contract is that
there be some money available for a
period of one year to make the nec-
essary repairs upon an improvement
if the contractor himself should re-
fuse to do so. The 5 per cent re-
tained is not due or payable to the
contractor until after the expiration
of that year. There is no express or
implied obligation to pay interest up-
on that money during the year that
it is held. However, if the money,
or any part of it, is held by the city
after the year has expired and after
the time this money becomes due and
payable to the contractor, there
would arise an implied obligation up-
on the part of the city, to pay inter-
est upon the money retained after the
year has expired until the date of
payment. Applying this rule then to
the interest claimed in this case, it is
my opinion, that the contractor is
only entitled to interest upon the
money retained by the city after the
year had expired, but that no inter.
est can be demanded upon the money
retained by the city during the year
that the money is held as a guaran-
tee. In other words Mr. Lee is en.
titled to the sum of Eight and 43 -100
($8.43) Dollars as interest upon the
sum of Six Hundred Thirty -three and
46 -100 ($633.46) Dollars, this being
the sum retained by the city after the
year had expired from the date of the
completion of the contract.

Dubuque, Iowa, May 24, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: At a recent meeting
of your honorable body I was in-
structed to report upon the petition
of the property owners abutting the
alleys between Clay and Iowa and
Clay and White streets, in which
these property owners claim to corn
pensation for the salvage which was
taken from such alleys at the time
they were improved.
I beg to report that the records of
the City Council of Nov. 19th, 1914,
show that said petition received
your attention and was upon that
date received and filed. There is
therefore no petition of these proper-
ty owners pending and nothing upon
which I can base a report.
Respectfully yours,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Frith the report
of the city attorney was approved.
June 1, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and Mem-
bers of the City Council.
Gentlemen: At the regular meet-
Regular Session, June 1, 1916.
187
ing of the City Council May 18, 1916,
I received orders to prepare plat for
8 -inch sanitary sewer on Cora street
and Exchange street.
In order to put in a sewer a street
grade must be adopted. Now where
Cora and Exchange streets join there
is only a twenty -five foot strip for
about thirty feet on Exchange street.
There has been petitions and orders
for the improvement of this street
several times during the past two
years. If we draw a grade for the
narrow strip it will not fit the street
when widened and if the street is im-
proved we will have to get waivers
signed to change the grade adopted
in order to put in the sewer. These
waivers would probably be hard to
get.
I wish the council, understanding
these circumstances, would let me
know whether they want us to go
ahead with this work before the
street is widened at this point.
Very truly yours,
F. J. McNULTY,
City Engineer.
On motion of Ald. Plamondon the
report of the city engineer was re-.
ferred to the committee of the whole
to view the grounds.
Ald. Frith moved that the city en-
gineer be instructed to notify Jas. F.
Lee to complete the work on the
Rhomberg avenue improvement. Car-

Dubuque, Iowa, June 12, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
OE the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Your committee of
the whole referred to me the petition
of the Sisters Of Mt. St. Joseph's by
which your honorable body was asked
to remit the taxes upon a piece. of
property lying' north of the street
which divides said property from the
college proper. Remission of taxes
was asked by the college upon the
ground that this piece of property
was owned and used by an education-
al institution for the appropriate pur-
poses of said institution and not with
a view to pecuniary profit. The facts
surrounding the claim is that this
piece of property is used for garden
and pasturing purposes and has a
barn upon it. The produce raised
upon said piece of ground is not sold
or is there a profit realized out of it,
but is consumed by the students at
the institution.
"Section 1304, par. 2 of the Supple-
ment of the Code of Iowa, provides
that all grounds and buildings used
for literary, scientific, charitable, ben-
evolent, agricultural and religious in-
stitutions, not exceeding one hundred
and sixty acres in ' extent, and not
leased or otherwise used with a view
to pecuniary profit, shall be exempt
from taxation."
The only question to be considered
is, is this piece of property used by
the, institution in such a manner as
to be considered an appropriate Ob-
ject of the institution. In determin-
ing this question I have consulted the
decisions of our supreme court and
find,authority for the conclusion that
‘ this piece of property, used as it is in
connection with the institution prop.
er, is entitled to the exemption under
the statute. The case of Nugent vs.
Dilworth, report in the 95th Iowa on
page 49, is in point upon this propo-
sition. In discussing the ,statute here
under consideration, our supreme
court cites with approval and follows
as the law of this state, the case of
Trustees vs. - Inhabitants, a Massachu-
setts case. In that case a scientific
institution owned land on which its
buildings were erected including a
boarding hoarse. A farm for which

exemption was claimed was one hun-
dred and fifty acres. The farm was
cultivated, keeping thereon cows to
furnish milk for the boarding house
and supplying it with vegetables and
other provisions. The farm was held
exempt. It was said there that this
farm used as it was became a part of
the institution and entitled to the ex-
emption.
You will notice from this that the
facts in this case are almost identical
with the facts in our case. Our su-
preme court approved the Massachu-
setts case in several decisions, an d it
is my opinion that were the case
again brought to the attention of the
court, it would re- affirm its former
position. Basing then my opinion up-
on the law as I find it, I would say
that the Sisters of Mt. St. Josephs
college are entitled to the exemption
asked by them in their petition.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Frith the report
of the city attorney was referred to
the committee of the whole.
• Dubuque, Iowa, June 12, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Your committee . of
the whole referred to me the petition
of the Elk's Home Building compam
as also the petition of the Board of
Trustees of the Odd Fellows, both of
which petitions ask for a cancellation
and remission of their taxes upon the
real estate owned by them. These
petitions have been carefully consid-
ered by me and I beg to submit to
;your honorable body my conclusions
based upon the law in this state, as
1 understand it.
The petition of the Odd Fellows ask
for an exemption from taxation of the
building located at 9th and Locust
streets, the same being lot 633 and
known as Odd Fellows Temple. The
contention of the lodge is that it is a
charitable institution. As a charit-
able institution it claims that the
statute of Iowa warrants your giving
to it full exemption from taxation.
The facts as disclosed by the petition
are, that a lodge is a charitable insti-
tution and that the building of the
lodge is used in connection with the
lodge work. But this is not all. The
building upon which an exemption is
asked is rented out, at least a part of
the same, for commercial purposes,
and receives a certain revenue from
such purpose. It is also stated that
this revenue is used • for charitable
purposes, except what is used for
necessary expenses, repairs and inter-
est on the outstanding' debts.
The statute of Iowa under which
exemptions from taxation are permit-
ted reads as follows:
"Section 1304. (2) All grounds
and buildings used for literary, scien-
tific, charitable, benevolent, agricul-
tural and religious institutions, and
societies devoted solely to the appro-
priate objects of these institutions,
not exceeding one hundred and sixty
acres in extent, and not leased or
otherwise used with a view to pe-
cuniary profit —shall not be taxed."
Under this statute the exemption
could be claimed providing the facts
in the case warranted such exemp-
tion. In my opinion the facts sur-
rounding the Odd Fellows Temple are
not such as will permit this council
to grant an exemption to the lodge.
It is conceded by the petition that at
least pal t of this building brings in
a revel ue, in other words, the whole
of the 1: wilding is not used for the ap-
propriate objects of the institution,
that is, charitable purposes alone. It
may be conceded that the lodge in its
membership is a charitable institu-
tion, but that fact alone is not suf-
ficient to give to the building owned
by the lodge the exemption claimed
by it. The building in order to be ex-
empt must be used solely and entire-
ly for charitable purposes and with-
out a view to pecuniary profit, and
it makes no difference where the
money that the lodge receives from,
the rent of the building is applied.
Referring now to the petition of
the Elk's Home Building company.
The following property is asked to be
exempted from taxation:
Lot 623, for the year 1914.
Lot 624, for the year 1913.
Lot 624, for the year 1914.
Lot 625, for the year 1911.
Lot 625, for the year 1912.
Lot 625, for the year 1913.
Lot 625, for the year 1914.
These lots, it is claimed, are owned
by the Elk's Home Building company.
It is also claimed that the Elk's Home
Building company is a body of Elks,
and that said company is a charitable
institution. The exemption from
taxation is asked under and by virtue
of paragraph 2 of Section 1304 of the
Supplement of the Code of Iowa,
which section has already been set
out at length in this report.
For the purposes of this report it
might be conceded that the Benevo-
lent Order of Elks is a charitable in-
stitution, or what is more commonly
known as a fraternal order. If that
were the only thing to be considered
regarding the pe' :ition as filed with
your honorable body, there might be
some justification 1o: the exemption
prayed. But in mg opinion that is
not the controlling fact. The Elk's
Home Building company is a corpo-
ration separate and distinct from the
Order of Elks, a fraternal society.
The Elk's Home Building company is
a corporation organized under the
laws • of the state of Iowa for pecuni-
ary profit. The articles for incorpo-
ration so specifically provide. It is a
dividend paying institution and the
corporation as organized is not made
, up of all the members of the fra-
ternity. For that reason it does not
come under the exempting statute. l.n
order to be exempt from taxation it
must not be organized with a view to
pecuniary profit. If organized to a
view for pecuniary profit it must be
taxed just the same as any other cor-
poration. Therefore. under all the
circumstances surrounding the claim
for exemption from taxation regard-
' ing the Elk's Home Building com-
pany, it is my opinion that the Elk's
Home Building company, the corpo-
ration owning the lots asked to be
exempt, should not be given the ex-
emption prayed for.
I would, therefor, recommend that
the prayers of the Board of Trustees
of the Odd Fellows lodge and the
Elk's Home Building comp..,ny, b.• de-
nied, an 1 said petitions be received
and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZ K,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Wal11a tho report
of the city attorney was referred 10

June' 15th, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
'Council.
Gentlemen: In my report to your
honorable body on June 1st, 1916, in
reference to the bill of James F. Lee
for interest on Hill street assessment
thel•e was an error the date of De-
cember 2, 1915, being given as the
date of the acceptance of the work,
whereas, the council proceedings
show that your honorable body ac-
cepted the street on October 22, 1915.
The amount of interest due Mr Lee,
therefore, should be $193.14 the shin
named in his bill instead of $106.88
and I would recommend that a war-
rant be drawn in his favor for the dif-
ference or $86.26.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. D. WYBRANT.
City Treasurer.
On motion of Ald. McLaughlin the
report of the city treasurer was ap-
proved and a warrant in the sum of
$86.26 was ordered drawn on the city
treasurer in favor of Mr. Lee.

Gentlemen: Some time ago the
matter of Mr. F. Bell's assessment for
the improvement of West Third street
was referred to us to see if same was
correct. We find that Mr. Bell's as-
sessment is too high due to the fact
that they have been figured at too
large an area. We recommend that
the assessment on Mr. Bell's lots be
reduced as follows:
Lot 1 of the Sub. of 1 of 2 of 9 of
M. L. 73, $41.22.
Lot 2 of the Sub. of 1 of 2 of 9 of
