REPORTS OF OFFICERS. Mayor Schenk presented and read the following veto on the report of the Committee of the Whole, grant- ing the prayer of the Smedley Steam Pump Co., accepting taxes on t he same valuation for the years 1906 and 1907 as in former years: Dubuque, la., Dec. 24th, 1909. To the Honorable Council, City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: I have had under con- sideration your adoption of the Com- mittee of the Whole report, granting the prayer of the petitioner„ the Smedley Steam Pump Co., asking that its taxes for the years 1906 and 1907 be accepted on a basis of $10,000 valuation instead of on the basis of the Assessor's return, $21,280.00, for those years. I call your attention to the fact that the Smedley Steam Pump Co. by an agreement with former Councils has already, prior to the years for which reduction is now asked, en- joyed the privilege of paying only on a valuation of '$1 for five years. and this agreement expired with the tax of 1905. It is a well known fact that these whole or partial canceIla- tions of taxes are illegal, but, even if it were •not true,. the 'company in the over 50 per cent of canceled tax valuation it has enjoyed for a period !of five years, has been very fairly !treated, and : should not be :granted further favors along that line. 1, therefore, return you the 'report 'of the 'Cdtnmittee of the Whole'grant- irtg the prayer of said petitioner, adopted 'by your honorable body on December 21, 1909, and hereby veto , the inotion that 'passed, adopting same.

The annual report of the Trustees of Carnegie -Stout Free Library was presented and read, as follows: Report of Trustees: Dubuque, Ia., Dec. 31st., 1909. To the Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: In obedience to the re- quir of the statutes of the State, the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie -Stout Free Public Library herewith submit to your honorable body their annual report for the year 1909. They enclose therewith the annual report for 1909 of the Librarian of the Library, which you will find very full and able, and giving you a most intelligible and comprehensive pre- sentation of the operations of the library. There still continues to be gratifying evidence of interest on the part of the people of the city in the attractions and benefits which the library offers, so that a very large fraction of the people of the city, youth and adult, are enrolled as library members, and are partaking of its intellectual stimulus. The enrollment of members is now 12,474, an addition for the year of 881. The total circulation for the year amounted to 102,710. Of these 8388 volumes were circulated through the branch libraries established in nine public and parochial schools at the desire and under the care of teachers interested in the uplifting work. The net number of volumes added to the library in 1909 was 4,000, in- cluding general works in the Allison Memorial collection, making a total of 28,045. not including 12,000 govern- ment publications. In our report of last year mention was made of Mrs. Jennie A. Bray - ton's most generous gift of the library of the late Senator Allison, but noting the fact that the bods had not yet been transferred to the publiz library, and had, therefore, not been counted in the last report. Early 'this year, however, the complete Allison Library was transferred by Mrs. Brayton, and duly arranged and labeled, adding 2200 volumes of mis- cellaneous literature and 1600 volumes of government publication to our collection. Most of the miscellaneous publica- tions were in handsome bindings and sets, and much of the material was rare and valuable, while the govern- ment publications were bound in a rich uniform style with the Senator's name embossed thereon. 'For the "Allison Memorial" thus established. the Board feels a deep sense of grati- tude to Mrs. Brayton. Among the other notable gifts that came to the library during the year were those from Mrs. H. P. Ward, of Washington, D. C., who, with her late lamented husband, was for many years among our early and respected citizens. In memory of her husband, Mrs. Ward presented to the library a • set of a special edition of Curtis' "North American Indians," one of the most beautiful and valuable specimens of typography ever issued by the press of the country. This special edition is being issued under the patronage of J. Pierpont Morgan, and has been . dedicated by Theodore Roosevelt over his written signature. The edition, when completed, will consist of 20 royal quarto volumes, profusely em- bellished, and 20 portfolios of photogravures of Indians and Indian life which Mr. Curtis spent many years in personally securing. This will give to our Dubuque library an artistic edition of this most valuable work that but few libraries of the world will be able to secure. Supplementing this very valuable gift, Mrs. Ward also presented to the library a rich and artistic case for housing and preserving it, and facilat- ing its use by those who wish to in- spect or study it. In addition, Mrs. Ward has enriched the Art Room of the library by three costly and beautiful etchings by not- able artists and of historical subjects, each very handsomely framed. The good and generous friends of the library who last year made a cash gift of $100 in order to enlarge the list of magazines and periodicals, re- peated her gift the present year, so that this branch of our circulation has continued very full and attractive. The board also acknowledges with gratitude other gifts from Judge Shims for the embellishment of the library, toward which he has clone so much at his personal cost. His later gifts have been 18 water color sketches of California flora for the Art Room, and a set of 24 portraits of presidents of the United States for the Historical Room. The Educational Division of the Woman's Club of Dubuque has again laid us under a great sense of obliga- tion for its annual gift to the chil- dren's room, this year presenting a handsome clock. The walls and ceilings of the his- . toricals and museum rooms, and the oeilings of the Art Room have been ti Regular Session, January 20, 1910 15 handsomely and substantially paint- ed in oil.
