To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen:— Complying with your
request I attended the good roads
convention held at the Great North-
ern hotel in Chicago Jan. 27th, 28th
and 29th and heard the discussions of
many prominent road builders, as to
the different methods and materials
used in the construction of streets.
My attention was centered chiefly on
the part that applied to macadam
streets. In company with several
others I examined macadam streets
treated with taroid and tarvia in
South Park, Jackson Park and Grand
Boulevard and found them handsome,
dustless, water -proof and apparently
durable streets. The above streets are
not used for heavy. traffic, but are very
.prominent for automobiles, carriages
and light travel. Some of those
streets were resurfaced two years ago
and show no perceptible signs of wear.
Before making any final recommenda-
tion I would suggest a committee. of
your honorable body make a personal
investigation.

Dubuque, Ia., February 11, 1909.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: After carefully consid-
ering, in all its phases, what propos-
ition we could make to you in regard
to a strip of ground for widening the
street at First and Iowa Streets, we
make the following proposition.
We will deed to the city a strip
'commencing 29 feet and 9 inches
north of the S. E. corner of our lot
where the present building stands,
known as the Berliner Hof, thence
running diagonally to the corner
where the lot now squares and turns
west on First Street, upon the follow-
ing condition:
First — Two Thousand dollars
($2,000.00) in cash.
Second —That the remaining por-
tion of lots Nos. 529 and 530 and the
improvements added thereto be as-
sessed at no more than heretofore for
a period of twenty -five years.
Third —That the street be paved
and placed in as good condition as
First Street and Iowa Street are at
present and that curbing and cement
walks be laid on the portion so deed-
ed at the expense of the City; after
which we will assume the usual rela-
tions of abutters.
Fourth —That permission be grant-
ed under the usual conditions to the
C., M. & St. P. R. R. Co., or the I, C.
R. R. Co., as we may elect to lay a
track across First Street onto the
south part of lots Nos. 529 and 530,
remaining the required distance from
the track now located in the alley.
The street as described will take
from us 29 feet 9 inches of frontage
on Iowa Street and will give you a
space about 23 feet wide from out-
- side rail to curb at the narrowest
point and allow 6 feet for sidewalk
and curbing.
It will require the removal of the
hotel property which we propose
shall be done at our expense.
As we want to proceed with our
plans it is important that this should
be accepted or rejected not later than
the 20th inst.
Very truly yours,
McFadden Coffee & Spice Co.
By J. M. McFadden, President.
