To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: On August 5th, 1915, Fred Spielman, presented a claim for damages for injuries sustained by him on Eighth Avenue in the City of Du- buque, in the sum of Twenty -seven and 50 -100 ($27.50) Dollars. Upon in- vestigating the facts in this case we found thas the injury com- plained of was sustained by fall- ing over some ties that had been placed upon the walk by the Union Electric Co., during the construction of their part of the improvement on Rhomberg Ave. We immediately noti- fled the Union Electric Co. of the claim and also informed them that, in our opinion, they alone were re- sponsible to said Speilman for his in- juries. Since receiving our notice we have received information that the Union Electric Co., has paid this claim for damages to Mr. Spellman and Mr. Spielman has released the City from all liability. We, therefor, return the claim with the recommendation that the same he received and filed. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Attorney. On motion of Ald.

Gentlemen: On Sept. 2nd, 1915, your Honorable Body referred to the City Assessor and City Attorney, the petition of Mary Y. Hancock, asking that there be an official expression made by you to the effect that a car. tain tax assessment standing in the name of C. T, Hancock and Mary Han- cock in the sum of Twenty -five Thou- sand ($25000.00) Dollars, does not re- fer to Mary Y. Hancock, and that said assessment in the name of Mary Han- cock, is not a cloud upon the title or a lien upon the property belonging to Mary Y. Hancock. We, in accordance with your re- quest, have investigated this matter and And that the tax assessment as shown upon the Treasurer's books in the name of C. T, Hancock and Mary Hancock, refers to Mary Hancock, the sister of C. T, Hancock, and not to Mary Y. Hancock, the wife of said C. T. Hancock, and that Mary Han- cock and Mary Y. Hancock are two different persons. We further find that there are no taxes now due and collectable from Mary Y, Hancock, and that the assess- ment upon the books of the City of Dubuque for the year 1913, against Mary Hancock, is not a lien against the property of Mary Y. Hancock, In order, therefor, that there be no doubt or question about the assessment now appearing upon the books In the Treasurer's office, we , suggest that your Honorable Body instruct your City Treasurer to make a notation or entry upon the books where this Regular Session, October 7, 1915 443 assessment appears showing the above facts.

The init- ial cost is a very small item; the maintenance and future up -keep, in fact, the making of a real park out of this place, is what will cost the taxpayers of this city many thous- ands of dollars, and, in my opinion, will be a constant drain upon the city's resources. "4th —While I believe that the pur- pose of the association to do honor to Dubuque's greatest citizens, W. B. Allison and D. B, Henderson, is a no- ble one, yet I do not feel that I should permit the city to assume an obli- gation which is bound to prove a hardship rather than a benefit to our citizens. "For this reason, gentlemen, I feel it is my duty to veto your action in granting the prayer of the petition of the Allison - Henderson Memorial As- sociation, and in doing so I beg to advise you that my action is not a hasty one, but is the outcome of due and earnest consideration upon my part.

"Dubuque, Ia., Oct. 20, 1915. "To the Honorable City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa: "Gentlemen: — "On the 7th day of October, 1915, a petition was presented to your honorabl body by the Allison - Henderson Memorial Association, in which it was proposed to turn over to the City of Dubuque, for park pur- poses, an unimproved strip of ground belonging to M. H. McCarthy, which formerly constituted a part of the Standard Lumber yards, and to be converted into a river front park. The obligation which the city is ask- ed to assume, is a certain mortgage, payable in six years, in the sum of $2,750 and in addition to this the city is to remit taxes upon this prop - erity in the sum of about $600. The proposition appealed to a majority of your number, and was acted upon favorably by you. Gentlemen, I beg to state, while I realize the great power vested in me, as mayor, in placing in my hands the right to veto any action taken by you which to me seems unreasonable and is liable to impose a hardship upon our citizens and, realizing further that this pow- er should not be arbitrarily exercised, yet, in this case I feel it my duty to exercise the same, and give as my reason therefor, the following: "1st —Being thoroughly familiar with the location of the proposed park, I do not believe it would be of universal benefit to all of our citi- zens. "2nd —In addition to knowing the location of the proposed park, I am also familiar wiith the soil of which it is composed, and know that it is practically devoid of life vegetation, formerly having been the dumping ground for the old saw mill. For this reason it is unfit for park pur- poses. "3rd —While the proposition as made by the association appears at- tractive upon its face insofar as the 462 Adjourned Regular Session, October 22, 1915 0111 ,.,,,,, (Otiicial.) - : ..

Gentlemen: — At the present term of Court the case of M. Kassler vs. City of Du- buque, law No. 17397, was called for trial. This was a suit for damages claimed to have been sustained by the plaintiff by reason of water over- flowing White street on the corner of 5th, flooding his basement and there- by doing him considerable damage in the year 1912. The suit was originally brought for the sum of Five Thousand Three hundred fifty ($5350.00) Dollars. After a jury had been secured to try the case, and after the plaintiff had begun to introduce his evidence, it was deemed advisable by us to effect as reasonable a settlement as possi- ble. Our proposition to the plaintiff was to pay him the sum of Three Hundred and fifty ($350.00) dollars in full satisfaction of his claim. After some delay this settlement was agreed upon, subject to the wish of your Hon- orable Body. The case of James Rizos vs. City of Dubuque, was also called for trial. This was a case for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff on or about the 7th day of January, 1915, when the plaintiff slipped and fell upon an icy walk, thereby sustaining a double fracture of his right leg. Plaintiff brought suit against the City in the sum of Five Thousand ($5000.00) Dol- lars. After a careful consideration of the city's liability in that case, we decided to effect a settlement if pos- sible. We proposed to pay the sum of One Hundred and fifty ($150.00) Dollars in full satisfactioi_ of the claim, subject to the will of your Hon- orable Body. The amount proposed by us in this case is less than the actual expense of the plaintiff, and we consider this settlement a good one. If these settlements are satisfactory to your Honorable B'ody you will in- struct your City Treasurer to draw two warrants in my favor, one in the sum of Three Hundred and fifty ($350.00) Dollars, as a settlement of the Kassler case, and the other in the sum of One Hundred and Fifty ($150.00) Dollars, as a settlement in the Rizos case, said warrants to be endorsed over by me to the proper, parties when I am satisfied that the City has been properly released from all liability and a dismissal of the case on file. In relation to the Kassler case, I beg to advise your Honorable Body, that from a careful investigation of the conditions in that part of the city, I believe it would be advisable and 468 Adjourned Regular Session, October 22, 1915 Vehicles, and providing a Penalty for the Violation thereof ", be and the same is hereby amended by inserting in the title thereof, between the words "by" and "carts ", the word "persons ", and placing after such word "persons" a comma, so that said title when amended will read as fol- lows: "An Ordinance Relating to Street Traffic, and Regulating the Use of the Streets, Alleys and Public Places of the City of Dubuque, by Persons, Carts, rays, Hackney Coaches, Om- nibuses, Carriages, Wagons, Motor Vehicles, and all other Vehicles, and Providing a Penalty for the Violation thereof."
