Dubuque, Iowa, July 9, 1910. To the Honorable City Council, Du- buque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On June 6,. 1907, there was adopted by the City Council an ordinance granting the Eastern Iowa Traction. Association the use ,of cer- tain streets in the City of Dubuque to operate an interurban rails *ay there- on. Under the provisions of said • ordi- nance. the said Association entered into a bond with the City of Dubuque conditioned that upon its failure to have its railway completed and in operation within three years from the date of the adoption of the aforesaid ordinance, it should pay to the city two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) to cover the expense in- curred for printing and publishing the ordinance the number of times re- quired by law. I would respectfully recommend that this matter be referred to the Committee of the Whole for consid- eration. Very respectfully, D. J. HAAS, Mayor. On motion of Ald. McEvoy referred to the Committee of the Whole. Dubuque, Iowa, July 15, 1910. To the Honorable City Council, Du- buque, Iowa. Genelemen: I desire to call the attention of your honorable body to the blocking of street crossings by railroad trains. This matter has be- come a source of considerable annoy- ance to our citizens and may, by pre- venting the fire department from crossing, be the cause of a disastrous fire. I am informed that the chief of- fender is the Chicago Great Western Co., which has lately increased the length of its trains about 40% and now haul about seventy cars where it formerly hauled but fifty. This means that a train waiting for a signal from the semaphore to proceed across the bridge, would have every crossing blocked as far north as 18th Street and probably further. It can easily 223 be seen that the breaking of such a train at each crossing is practically as impossibility and it would be manifestly unjust to arrest and pun- ish the train crews for what is clear- ly the fault of the company. The railroad company can avoid creating this inconvenience by either cutting down the length of its trains or by holding the train in the upper yards until the track is clear to pro- ceed across the bridge, and I would respectfully recommend that some action be taken by your honorable body to compel said railroad com- pany to either adopt one of the plans suggested above or take some other measure to abate the nuisance complained of. Very respectfully, D. J. HAAS, Mayor. On motion of Ald. Saul, referred to Committee of Whole. Dubuque, Iowa, July 12, 1910. To the Honorable City Council, Du- buque, Iowa. Gentlemen: I beg to inform your honorable body that I have appointed Miss Helen Sauer as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie - Stout Free Public Library to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. H.
