of the same, if possible I would,
therefore, recommend that this suit
be settled for the suin of One Hun-
dred ($100.00) Dollars, if the plaintiff
in the case will agree to accept the
same and cause a dismissal of the
action. I suggest this amount for the
reason that it will be about the sum
that the plaintiff had to expend for
medical services.
If your honorable body should be
willing to effect a settlement upon
the above basis, you will kindly have
a warrant drawn in the sum of One
Hundred $100.00) Dollars in favor of
John Lyons and instruct your Treas-
urer accordingly.
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. McIntosh the

Dubuque, Iowa, April 19, 1915.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: -
On March 18th, 1915, the same be-
ing a regular meeting of your Honor-
able Body, there was referred to me
the excavation bonds of James street
and R. J. Burke, both in the sum of
Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars, cov-
ering a period of one year from the
date thereof; also sidewalk fond of
Charles Sitterly in the sum of One
Thousand ($1000.00) Dollars, covering
a period of one year from date.
I beg to report that I have exam-
ined these bonds and find the same
properly executed as to form and do
hereby return the same.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Heim the report
of the City Attorney was approved.
Dubuque, Ia., April 22, 1915.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: -
Very recently a case of the City of
Des Moines vs. Iowa Telephone com-
pany was decided by a jury in t1 3 Dis-
trict Court of Polk county by which
a verdict was returned in a very large
amount in favor of the city. The ac-
tion was brought for the use of the
city's streets, alle avenues and
highways, with the poles, wires, ca-
bles and conduits of the Iowa Tele-
phone company, the action being
based upon the theory that the tele-
phone company was using the streets,
etc., without lawful right or authority,
not having a franchise, and that the
city should be compensated for such
use. The identical situation exists in
Dubuque. It is true that here we
have submitted to the court the ques-
tion of whether or rot the telephone
company must first secure a franchise
a.- a condition precedent to the enjoy-
ment of the right to occupy our
streets, etc., and as yet has not been
decided by said court. That being
true it will not be possible or prac-
ticable to institute proceedings in the
nature of the Les Moines case at once,
but as I expect the District Court here
will in the near future decide upon
the case submitted him, the City
Attorney's • office seeks permission
from your Honorable Body to prepare
and file a suit for money owing and
due on account of the use of the city's
streets by the telephone company, just
as soon as we shall deem such action
prudent and advisable.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. McLaughlin the
report of the City Attorney was ap-
proved.
