Dubuque, Ia., Sept. 2, 1914. To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: A recent experience has forcibly impressed me with the absolute nec- essity of enforcing the "Ordinance Re- lating to the Building of Permanent and Temporary Sidewalks, and Pro- viding for the Repair of Sideswalks in the City of Dubuque" which Ordinance was enacted on September 21st, 1911, and to hold all sidewalk contractors 3,500.00 500.00 300.00 3,24 7.55 Nothing Nothing to a strict compliance with its terms. For some reason this Ordinance has not been obeyed in the past, whereas, its terms are sufficiently specific to avoid any question of misunderstand- ing or doubt. The portion of the Ordinance that I ask to be especially enforced is as follows: "Section 7. Any person or firm de- siring to engage in the construction of permanent sidewalks for private business, or for the City of Dubuque, shall execute a surety company bond in the sum of One Thousand ($1000.00) Dollars to be approved by the City Attorney, conditioned that he will hold the City harmless from damage be- cause of the carelessness of himself or his employees while constructing said walk, and that will keen the walk in good and perfect repair for the time stated in the plans and specifications and shall be liable on said bond to the city and property owner for any damage, loss and expense caused by reason of his failure to build such walk according to specifications, and for any breach of the bond." The provisions of this section de- mand that a bond be furnished by any person or firm engaging in the con- struction of sidewalks and is broad enough in terms so that it makes no exception of anyone. My recommend- ation therefor is that no permit shall be issued to any person or firm to con- struct permanent or temporary side- walks unless such person or firm shall, as a condition precedent execute a bond provided by the Ordinance. Further if any person shall attempt to violate this or any other portion of this Ordinance he should be compelled to pay the penality without discrimin- ation. If your Honorable Body see fit to adopt this recommendation kindly in- struct the Engineer accordingly. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Attorney. On motion of Ald. Singrin the re- commendation of the City Attorney was approved. Dubuque, Iowa, September 2, 1914 To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque. Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 2, 1914. Gentlemen: —The matter of the pe- tition of Frank Neumeister relative to the cancellation of a special sewer assessment in consideration of the making of a deed to the City of Du- buque of the west ten feet of Lot No. 26 in Wicke's Addition to the City of Dubuque, has been referred to me with the instructions to secure said deed.

Dubuque, Iowa, September 2, 1914. To the Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: —As all plans and speci- fications for improvement work in the City of Dubuque have a clause in them with reference to the necessity of each contractor carrying Employ- ers Liability Insurance, still I deem it advisable that each contractor should furnish the Recorder with the proper evidence that he has complied with this provision before a contract should be given to him. I would therefor recommend that your Hon- orable Body instruct the Recorder to demand a certificate from each con- tractor doing improvement work in the City of Dubuque showing that he has and carries this insurance, and this certificate shall be passed on by the Recorder before a contract is en- tered into. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Attorney. On motion of Ald. Clancy the rec- ommendation of the City Attorney was approved. Dubuque, Iowa, September 2, 1914.

Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Attorney. On motion of Ald. McLaughlin the report of the City Attorney was ap- proved. Dubuque, Iowa, September 2, 1914. To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: —At the last regular meeting of your honorable body there was referred to me a communication from Kenline & Roedell relative to the Court costs in the case of John Keckevoet vs. City of Dubuque. I have investigated the correctness of the amount of Court costs in the above case as represented by petitioners, and have verified the same by secur- ing a certified statement of the costs from C.
