To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: During the present
term of Court, the appeal from a spe-
cial assessment levied against lot No.
12 of Kringle's Sub- diivsien in the
City of Dubuque. for the improve-
ment of Angella Street, Frank Hock -
ensteiner, owner and appellant, was
called for trial. It was the conten-
tion of the appellant in this case that
he should not be compelled to pay
this assessment, and he based his
contention upon numerous objections
which were filed for consideration by
Your Honorable Body and which you
overruled. The full amount of the
assessment as levied, was Eighty -
three and 80 -100 ($83.80). This
whole matter was given our careful
attention, and we arrived at the con-
clusion that it would be advisable to
effect a settlement if a settlement
could -be made. The appellant finally
agreed to the proposition to pay the
City of Dubuque, in full settlement of
this assessment, the city to pay the
costs of suit, the sum of Forty -one
and 90 -100 ($41.90) Dollars. This
being deemed satisfactory to us, the
settlement was made.
You will, therefore, find hereto at-
tached a check in the sum of Forty -
one and 90 -100 i$41.90) Dollars, and
you will instruct your Treasurer to
cancel this assessment upon his books
upon this payment being made.
You will also find hereto attached
a certificate of the costs in the case
as prepared by the Clerk of the Dis
trict Court. These costs amount to
Twelve and 5 -100 ($12.05) Dollars, in
which amount you will have a war-
rant drawn in favor of C. D. Har-
rington, Clerk of the District Court.
I sincerely trust this matter will
meet with your approval.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
