Harbormaster Carroll reported as
follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: I beg to call your at-
tention to the fact that I have col-
lected wharfage of launch owners on
November 21st of each year; also
during the month of May each year.
It appears to me that the month of
April is the best time to make the
annual collection of wharfage for the
reason that a freeze -up may occur be-
fore the 21st of November. Then re-
moval for non- payment of wharfage
would be impossible until the open-
ing of navigation. Further, the
change suggested would systematize
the work. Hoping that this petition
will receive your approval,
Respectfully yours,

C•mmitLe• en Finance, presented and
read the foll■o-ing report:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
(lentlem en:
Your committee on finance deem it
necessary and advisable to establish
a sinking fund for the amelioration
of the public debt. Sec. 9, page 67,
of the ordinance book of 1901, quot-
ing the laws of Iowa, states the fol-
lowing:
A tax for the purpose of creating a
bond or sinking fund sufficient to
pay the interest to accrue before the
next annual levy on funding or re-
funding bonds outstanding, and to pay
the Principal of such funding or re-
funding bonds.
The council has been carrying out
that part of the law which applies to
the interest but not to the bond or
sinking fund.
We, therefore, as your Committee
on Finance, would recommend the es-
tablishment of a sinking fund of one -
half mill each year.
We would, therefore, move to in-
struct Committee Clerk John Lawlor
to prepare a resolution for the same
and also to City Attorney Lyon to
prepare an ordinance.
JOHN O'ROURKE,
JAMES SAUL,
Committee on Finance.
Ald O'Rourke moved the adoption
of the report of the Committee on Fi-
nance sad the Committee Clerk to
prepare resolution setting aside 1 -2
mill of the tax levy to be made for
creation of a sinking fund, to apply

City and the Attorney and Ordinance
Committee to prepare Ordinance.
Carried by the following vote:

Ald. Singrin, chairman Pro Tem
of the Committee on Police and Light,
reported as follows:
Your Committee on Police and
Light would respectfully report that
we advertised for bids for police
overcoats and received proposals
from three firms. After duly consid-
ering the proposals submitted, we de-
cided to award the contract for thirty -
five regulation overcoats to Ben Kauf-
man & Son at a price of $25.50 each.
Ten clollal's of which amount, as is
customary, to be paid by the City and
the balance by the officers purchas-

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Mayor Schunk presented and read
the following veto:
Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 10, 1909.
To the Honorable Council, City of
Dubuque:
Dear Sirs: I have had under care-
ful consideration the report of your
committee of the whole, adopted Oc-
tober 27, 1909, recommending that the
petition of Mr. John Olinger for re-
duction of the 1908 tax on Boulevard
Addition from the board of equaliza-
tion's valuation to that returned by
the assessor for that year, be received
and filed.
During all the time this matter has
been under consideration, there has
been a doubt in my mind of the legal-
ity of the board's action in raising
this assessment without making cor-
responding raises in vacant properties
in the immediate vicinity of 511'. Olin -
g'er's property. The idea of equaliza-
tion in law as interpreted by the
Iowa supreme court, is not to arbi-
trarily raise one man's taxes, unless
the same course is pursued with all
adjacent property where values are
low and inequalities exist. The Olin-
ger property is easily worth the as-
sessment put on it by the board of
equalization of 1908, and the action of
the latter was fully justified in fixing
the value it did, because it was on
the merits of the property involved, a
fair valuation. Yet the absence of an
equalization of assessed values with
that of other property in the vicinity,
raises the question of regularity, and
creates a well defined doubt as to the
legality of the proceedings.
In view of this fact, I would recom-
mend to your honorable body that the
petition of Mr. John Olinger be re-
ferred to City Attorney Lyon with a
request for an early opinion as to the
legality of the board of equalization's
procedure in the matter of the in-
crease in his assessment, and asking
from the attorney a report of recom-
mendation as to what course the city
should pursue to safeguard its right,
and best interests in the premises
legally and fairly to all concerned.
To again bring this matter before
your honorable body for reference to
the city attorney, and to enable us to
get a report and recommendation
from him, I herewith return to you
the committee of the whole report
recommending that the petition of
Mr. John Olinger be received and fil-
ed, adopted by the City Council Octo-
ber 27, 1909, and hereby veto the mo-
tion that carried adopting the same.
Respectfully,
H. A. SCHUNK,
Mayor.
On motion veto of Mayor Schunk
was referred to the City Attorney for
a report.
Mayor Schunk also presented the
annual report of the Board of Water
Works Trustees for the year ending
May 31st, 1909. Same was read and
on motion was referred to the Finance
Committee to be embodied in the an-
nual report of the City of Dubuue.
Mayor Schunk also presented and
read Bond of Indemnity of the Du-
buque Packing Company as principal
and James Beach as surety to the
City of Dubuque in the sum of TWO
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars as
a guarantee that said company will
pay to the City an amount equal to
the sum paid by the City in arching
the Bee Branch Sewer contiguous to
the property of said company in case
the Dubuque Packing Company fail to
erect an addition to their plant dur-
ing the year 1910, at a cost in the
neighborhood of 840,000.00, and stat-
ed that upon the filing of the bond by
1\Ir. Beach with him, that he
had signed the contract for the arch-
ing of the Bee Branch Sewer in the
Third Ward. On motion the bond of
the Dubuue Packing Company was
approved and ordered placed on file.
Ald. Haas stated that Mr. J.
Schwietering wished to address the
council in relation to filling the side-
walk in front of his property and
moved that rules be suspended to
grant Mr. Schwietering permission to
address the Council. Carried.
TSr. Schwietering then addressed
the Council, stating that if the Coun-
cil would fill the sidewalk in front of
his property on Stafford Avenue, be-
tween hertz and Edison Streets, he
would immediately lay a four foot ce-
ment sidewalk.
Ald. Frith moved that the Street
Commissioner be instructed to have
sidewalk on Stafford Avenue, between
Mertz and Edison Streets, abutting
property of Mr. Schwietering, filled to
grade and riprapped at an expense
not to exceed $25.00 and cost to be
taken from the expense fund. Car-
ried.
Ald. O'Rourke moved that the
Council take up the matter of fixing
the tax levy for the year 1909. Car-

of fixing the levy for the taxes of the
year 1909 be referred to the Commit-
tee of the Whole. Carried.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Mayor Schunk reported that he had
taken up with the Board of Water
Works Trustees the matter of install-
ing a fire hydrant at Park Hill and
Cooler Avenue and that they had
taken the matter under advisement.
City Attorney Lyon reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 18, 1909.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, to
whom was referred the veto of the
Mayor, of the report of the Commit-
tee of the Whole adopted October 27,
1909, recommending that the petition
of Ml•. John Olinger for reduction of
the 1908 tax on Boulevard Addition,
be received and filed, would respect -
fully report that if as stated in the
veto of the Mayor the Board of Equal-
ization arbitrarily raised his assess-
ment upon this property, and that the
value placed thereon by them was
proportionately greater than the val-
ue placed -upon other property in the
same locality, then I believe this ac-
tion would-be unwarranted in law and
contrary to the purposes for Which the
Board was established.
426 Regular Session, November 18, 1909
However, the Code of Iowa pro-
vides in Section 1373, a means where-
by one aggreived at the action of the
Board may have redress, and the
means there provided is by an appeal
to the District Court of the County in
which such Board holds its session,
within twenty days after the ad-
journment of the Board. This reme-
dy, under the construction placed up
on this section of the statute by the
Supreme Court, is an exclusive one
and therefore, notwithstanding' that
the Board's action may not have been
warranted in the first instance, lir.
Olinger has forfeited or lost any
rights he might have had to have the
action of the Board righted, by fail-
ing to take advantage of his rights of
appeal within the time specified in
the statute.
I therefore think that the assess-
ment as made by the Board will hold.
Respectfully,
G T. LYON,
City Attorney.
On motion of Alcl. Frith the report
of the City Attorney was referred to
the Committee of the Whole.
City Attorney Lyon also reported as
follows:
Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 18, 1909.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, to
whom was referred the communica-
tion of the Memorial Day Committee,
relative to the appropriation of Two
Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for its use
in defraying the cost of the expenses
incident to the usual observance of
the clay, for any opinion as to the le-
gality of such an appropriation, would
respectfully report that I have been
unable to find any statute in the State
authorizing 0 municipality to expend
public funds for the observance of
holidays. Neither have I been able
to find any authorities in this State in
which a similar question was raised.
I have found, however, authorities
in other jurisdictions which hold that
expenditures by a municipality of its
Public funds for the celebration of
patriotic holidays is illegal unless the
municipality is authorized by statute
so to do. This I believe to be the
general rule of law governing this
situation. It is therefore my opinion
that an expenditure for this purpose
would be illegal.
Respectfully,
GEO. T. LYON,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Rand the report
of the City Attorney was referred to
the Committee of the Whole.
