ed elected. Carried.
Mayor Schunk then called upon the
members of the retiring Council for
farewell remarks
Ald. Rand read the following:
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of the
Council: In leaving this office, I feel
that it is appropriate for me to say
a few words as to what my aims and
objects have been, and as to what has
been accomplished. My aim has al-
ways been to make as many improve-
ments and repairs as possible, consist-
ent with the revenues of the city, and
without increasing the burdens of the
taxpayers; and this is so as applies
to the whole city as well as to my
own ward, and while I may have
made some mistakes, as all men do.
I feel that as a whole I should 'be
proud of the record made in the last
two years. I do not think all has been
done that was needed, but it was im-
possible to perform any more with
the revenue at hand, and I feel that
I should be pardoned if I mention
some of the improvements in my own
ward.
A long section of West Locust
street has been improved, which the
people have sought for years, both
for the street improvement and the
storm sewer.
Louisa street has been extended
which opens up a large tract of val-
uable property.
Bennett street, Asbury street and
St. Ambrose street have been im-
proved.
A large pond of water was abated
on Fourteenth street, at large ex-
pense. A good sized stagnant pool in
the central part of Woodlawn park
has been abated, at very small ex-
pense. A large and troublesome pool
on Grace street was abolished by fill-
ing, at no expense, in fact at a real
profit to the city, besides grading an
alley.
Many other small improvements in
the line of street repairs have been
made and many other needed. ones
were not made for the lack of funds,
but preparation has been made for
doing this kind of work on a large
scale this year, with the view that
my successor to this term of office,
whether it be myself or another,
would be better fitted for this work
than any before have been.
It also affords me much satisfac-
tion to know that many of the pub-
lic buildings have received needed re-
pairs and some improvements. But
there are still others in serious need;
the Ninth street engine house roof,
also the town clock tower and the li-
brary roof, etc., will need painting

I be declar-
there are still others in serious need;
the Ninth street engine house roof,
also the town clock tower and the li-
brary roof, etc., will need painting
soon. And now with this somewhat
abbreviated statement, I am ready to
retire and turn the burdens of this
station over to my successor and wish
for him and the other members of
the new council a prosperous admin-
istration.
I have also given serious thought
to the question of additional fire
protection in the hill district, and I
have no doubt that the new council
will seek to remedy the present con-
dition. Mr. Mayor, T thank the mem-
bers of the old council for the cordial
relations which I have enjoyed with
them and wish for the new council
as pleasant relations as we have en-
joyed.
Alds. Frith, Martin, O'Rourke and
Haas then made a few remarks in
reference to the work done by the
Council in the past two years and
expressing their good wishes to the
newly elected aldermen for a pros-
perous and successful administration
of the city's affairs for the ensuing
two years.
Mayor Schunk then said that it
had been a pleasure to him to be
connected personally with the mem-
bers of the Council and he then de-
livered his valedictory which is as
follows:
Gentlemen of the Council: Before
turning over the affairs of the city to
my successor, I hope you will par-
don me if I take up a few more
moments of your time. A few
thoughts suggest themselves to me
that I am persuaded will not be in-
appropriate on this occasion.
Many people's judgment of a city
government is influenced by their
idealistic conception of what a city
government should be, while those
in active control know but the real
city government with its good points
as well as its imperfections. In all
things in city affairs, of course, there
is much that is imperfect. However,
what may seem imperfect, may real-
ly be as nearly perfect as human im-
perfection can make it. You can
only follow the past which is certain -
tainly extremely valuable to us in
every walk of life - -its chief value is
in interpreting for us the present and
giving greater intelligence for the fu-
ture. It teaches us partisan clamor
and criticism to the contrary, not-
withstanding that honest, sincere and
thorough effort on our part is not
only a great pleasure and satisfaction
to ourselves, but will also prove a
wholesome example to posterity.
Much has been said in the cam-
paign recently closed derogatory to
myself, but I submit with emphasis
the assertion, that for the petty sat-
isfaction of self - vindication, or per -
sonal or political success, I have

never planted tares in the field of
another's reputation.
I have no apologies to offer for
any act in my official career of the
past four years, and have no regrets
whatever. I feel that I have been very
kindly treated, and certainly apprec-
iate the opportunity afforded me by
our people to occupy a niche in the
history of my native city.
I have been signally honored by
my fellow citizens, and fully appre-
ciate the courtesies received at their
hands. I have had and have thor-
oughly enjoyed my yesterday, and
tender my heartfelt thanks to the
citizens of Dubuque for the favor of
the privilege of serving them two
terms as mayor.
Mayor Schunk stepped down to
where Ald Haas sat and escorted
him to the mayor's rostrum, from
where he introduced him as Du-
buque's next mayor. He then admin-
istered the oath of office.
Mayor Haas then read his inaug-
ural address which is as follows:
I feel greatly honored this evening
to take my place as mayor of our
city. Having been elected as the
result of a non - partisan movement, I
feel that I owe my election to no
one party, but to the people. Dur-
ing my term as Alderman -at -large it
was always my aim to give all mat-
ters careful consideration and to clo
what I thought was for the best in-
terest of the whole city and not to
be influenced by political or personal
feeling.
As mayor, I will try to act as I
have in the past and will always have
but one object in view, and that will
be to do what I think best for the
city.
I wish to thank Mr. Schunk and
the members of the retiring council
for the many kind things they have
done for me and to assure them that
I will always cherish the friendships
I have made while I worked with
them as a member of the council.
To the new council, I extend hearty
greetings and best wishes for the fu-
ture. I hope that during the term we
may all work together in harmony
with but one object in view, and that
will be a greater and a better Du-
buque.
Mayer Haas then called all the
newly elected aldermen before the

istered to them the oath of office.

Ald. Saul moved the adoption of the
various reports of the Committee of
the Whole.
Ald. O'Rourke stated that he was
opposed to increases in salaries as
recommended by the Committee of the
Whole and that he questioned the ad-
visability of making these increases in
salary at this time and wanted to know
where the money was coming from to
pay for them, as the • appropriations
for the year had already been made.
Ald. Saul stated that the most of the
increases were in the fire department
and he thought the work of the fire de-
partment the past week would justify
them and result in no criticism from
the citizens. Ald. Singrin said he was
only _sorry they couldn't raise the
salaries of more of them, and Ald.
Apel voiced Singrirrs sentiments. Ald.
O'Rourke rejoined that that was the
reason he objected to raising only a
few, and they were the "top - notchers"
who got the increase.
Motion adopting the various reports
of the Committee of the Whole was
then put and was carried, Ald.
O'Rourke voting no.

Mayor Haas, chairman of the
Board of Health, reported as follows:
To the Honorable Members of the
City Council:
Gentlemen: Your Board of Health
respectfully reports that at a meeting
held April 2Sth, 1910, resignation of
Wm. Larkins, Sr., as Sanitary Officer -
elect, was accepted and Paul Bewer
appointed as Sanitary Officer, which
appointment we present to your hon-
orable body for approval.
Also, your Board of Health re-
spectfully recommends that E. T.
Frith be paid $1.00 for each dead ani-
mal hauled on Sundays during the
period from May 1, 1910, to Novem-
ber 1st, 1910, and that the contract
for hauling garbage and dead ani-
mals be amended to include this ex-
tra compensation. D. J. HAAS,
Chairman.
Alrl. Specht moved the adoption of
the report of the Board Health.
Ald. O'Rourke, of the Board of
Health, presented the following mi-
nority report:
The undersigned, a minority of the
Hoard of Health, feel constrained to
dissent from the report offered by the
majority of this Board in recommend-
ing Paul Eewer for the office of Sani-
tary Policeman and would recom-
mend that the name of Frank Flynn
be substituted.
'drDM. SINGRIN.
JOHN O'ROURKE,
Ald. O'Rourke moved the adoption
of the minority report of the Boaru
of Health.
Mayor Haas asked City Attorney
Lyon for an opinion as to which re -'
port of the Board of Health took
preference.
City Attorney Lyon stated that the
Ordinance provides that the Board of
Health shall appoint a Sanitary Offi-
cer, subject to the approval of the
City Council and that the only mat -'
ter before the Council was the ap-
proval or rejection of appointment of
Mr. Bewer as Sanitary Officer.
Motion of Ald. Specht, to adopt re-
port of Board of Health was then put
and was lost by following vote:
Yeas —Alds. Specht and Sauer.
Nays — Alds. Apel, McEvoy,
O'Rourke, Saul and ,Singrin.
Matter of approval of part of the
report in reference to garbage con-
tract was, on motion of Ald.
O'Rourke, approved.
Mayor Haas announced next matter
to be taken up by the Council would
be the Election Contest matter.
Mr. Hurd, counsel for Mr. Wy-
brant, asked that Herman Knoern-
schild be sworn as witness.
Mr. Nelson, attorney for Mr.
Brinkman, objected to examination of
any further witnesses by defendant
in the case unless plaintiff could also
be permitted to introduce further evi-
dence before case is finally settled.
After considerable discussion it was
finally agreed that both sides would
be permitted to introduce evidence be-
fore closing of case.
Mr. Knoernschild was then sworn
as a witness and testified that he was
Clerk of Election in the Fourth Pre-
cinct of the Fifth Ward and that he
marked on the back of three ballots
with blue pencil figures showing
straight tickets voted.
Mr. Hurd then asked that the bal-
lot box of the Fourth Precinct of the
Fifth Ward he brought into the Coun-
cil Chamber and opened to introduce
the three ballots in question for iden-
tification. Attorney Nelson objected.
Mayor Haas then asked City Attor-
ney Lyon for an opinion as to the
right to introduce the ballots as evi-
dence.
City Attorney Lyon stated the
Council had the right to introduce the
ballots as evidence.
Ald. O'Rourke then moved that the
ballot box of the Fourth Precinct of
the Fifth - Ward be brought into the
Council Chamber and opened and
ballots be produced for identification.
Ald. Singrin moved as a substitute
that all the ballot boxes of all the
Precincts of all the Wards of the City
he brought into the Council Chamber
arid produced as evidence.
After considerable discussion Mayor
Haas then appointed Alds. O'Rourke
and Sauer to assist the Recorder in
bringing the ballot box in question
to the Council Chamber.
Ballot box of Fourth Precinct of the
Fifth Ward was then opened by the
Recorder in presence of the City
Council and the three ballots in ques-
tion introduced by Mr. Hurd for iden-
tification by Mr. Knoernschild.
On examination of the ballots in
question it was found that ballots
were marked with blue pencil on the
face of the ballot, instead of on the
back, as testified to by Mr. Knoern-
schild.
Ald. Sauer moved that all ballots of
all the Precincts of all the Wards of
the City be recounted, commencing
Tuesday, May 3rd, 1910.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas- -Alds. McEvoy, Sauer Saul,
Singrin and Specht.
Nays— .Alds. Apel and O'Rourke.

opinion, Mr. Nelson and himself could
