City Attorney Lyon reported as fol- lows: • To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque: buque: Gentlemen: The undersigned, to whom was referred the plat and the schedule of assessment of St. Ambrose Street, for my opinion as to the le- gality of the assessment, • would re- spectfully report that as far as ap- pears upon the face of the schedule the same seems to be in accordance with the provisions of the statute re- garding special assessments. Section 792A of the Supplement to the Code of 1897, provides among other things, that special assessments shall be in proportion to the special benefits conferred upon the property thereby and not in excess of such benefits, and further provides that such assessments shall not exceed 25% of the actual value of the lot or tract at the time of the levy. Assessment by the front foot rule .under this provision of the statute is thereby illegal unless everything re- specting the property to be assessed is equal then the front foot rule in apportioning the cost among the sev- eral lot own ers could be applied. There is no fixed rule laid down by the law for arriving at the proper es- timate, and what shall be taken into consideration in determining to what extent the property has been enhanc- ed in value by the improvement must depend upon the circumstances of each particular case. The Council may consider the size, shape and lo- cation of the lot, also take into ac- count not only the present conditions but also the future benefits. In other words it is for the Council to act up- on its own judgment regarding the value of the property and the amount of benefit conferred and in the ab- sence of any fraud its judgment is conclusive unless an appeal is taken therefrom; and in the present in- stance, if in the Opinion of the Coun- cil the proportionate share of the im- provement as shown upon the sched ule is in accordance with the special benefit conferred upon the respective property the assessment as made would be legal. Respectfully submitted, GEO. T. LYON, City Attorney. Ald. O'Rourke moved that the re- port of the City Attorney and special assessment be ref errel to the Commit- tee of the Whole to view the grounds. Carried.

Mayor Schunk presented and read the following veto: To the Honorable City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: I have had under con- sideration the report of your Coin - mittee of the Whole recommending that the bill of M. Tschirgi & Son for extra work on the Thirty-second Street storm water sewer, amounting to $157.20, be paid, adopted by your honorable body in regular session Oc- tober 7th. 1909. I find from the City Auditor's books that the amount left in the Thirty - second Street storm water sewer ap- propriation is only $103.46 and of this amount the 5% retained from amount due contractor, $45.66, must be de- ducted, leaving available in the fund only $57.50, making it impossible to comply with your instructions. i, therefore, return to you the re- port of the Committee of the Whole, adopted by your honorable body Oc- tober 7th, 1909, and hereby veto the motion that carried adopting the same. Respectfully, H. A. SCHUNK, Mayor. Market Master Katz reported as follows: To the Honorable Mayor and City Council: Gentlemen: I wish to call your at- tention to the Market House scales, which were repaired recently and are again out of commission by reason of planks binding on the side; also the approaches are filled with gravel, which is continually lodging between the frame and the scale platform. Please have this matter attended to as soon as possible. Respectfuly, C. W. KATZ, Market Master. On motion of Ald. Haas matter was referred to Committee on Markets with power. City Attorney Lyon reported as fol- lows: To the Honorable Mayor and City Council: Gentlemen: In the matter of the pettiion of Fred Mussehl, stating that he is willing to pay half the cost of the special assessment levied against his property for curbing and gutter- ing the south side of Davis Avenue in the City of Dubuque, which peti- tion was granted April 26th, 1909, subject to a later opinion of the City Attorney, I would respectfully report as follows: Special assessments must be levied in accordance with the special bene- fits conferred; if, therefore, in the opinion of the Council, the assessment in the instant case should be reduced in the amount allowed by the Coun- cil in order to make the assessment comply with this provision of the statute, the action of the Council would, in my estimation, be legal.' Respectfully submitted, GEO. T. LYON, City Attorney. Ald. Frith moved that report of City Attorney Lyon be approved and the City Treasurer be instructed to ac- cept one -half the special assessment levied against Fred Mussehl in fun settlement of special assessment for improvement of Davis Avenue abut- ting his property. Carried. City Attorney Lyon also reported. as follows: To the Honorable Mayor and City Council: Gentlemen: Replying to your writ- ten inquiry relative to the right of the City to favor private interests by spending money appropriated for the Third Ward Pee Branch sewer, in arching said sewer for the Dubuque Packing Co., I would report as fol- lows: It is, of course, illegal to expend public funds for private interests; however, the sewer in question is a public, municipal enterprise, and if, as I understand the fact to be, the sewer at the place where it is pro- poer to arch the same, runs along a public alley, the arching of the sewer would enable its use by the general& public as well as by the Dubuque Packing Company, and the work would be of a public nature, even though incidentally beneficial to the Dubuque Packing Co. As the appropriation made for work on the sewer in the Third Ward does not seem to have been made for any particular kind of work, such as the extension of the sewer, the money could be devoted to any work inci- dent to the improvement in question. Respectfully submitted, GEO. T. LYON, City Attorney. Ald! Rand moved that report of City Attorney Lyon be approved and made matter of record. Carried.
