City Attorney Lyon reported as fol- lows: Dubuque, Iowa, December 17, 1908. To the Hon. Mayor and City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque, Iowa: Gentlemen: The undersigned, who was directed by your honorable body to prepare an opinion showing the ex- act present status of all streets and alleys east of the railroad tracks, to the river, from Twelfth to Thirteenth Streets, and also the alley between Cedar and Sycamore Streets from Thirteenth to Fourteenth Streets, and stating what steps it would be neces- sary to take to have the action of the court set aside and have at least some of the, streets and alleys opened for public use, respectfully reports as follows: I find that on April 8th, 1907, there was filed in the office of the Clerk of the District Court, a petition for va- cation signed by the A. Y. McDonald 8T, Morrison Mfg. Co., asking that all that part of the plat of East Dubuque No. 2, including all of the lots de- scribed in the petition, (the numbers of which appear in the copy of the decree hereto attached,) and also those parts of Maple Street, Cedar Street, Sycamore Street, Lynn Street and Ash Street located between Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets, and the alleys located between Pine and - Maple Streets and Twelfth and Thir- teenth Streets, and Maple and Cedar Streets and Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets, and Cedar and Sycamore Streets and Twelfth and Fourteenth Streets and Sycamore and Lynn and Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets and Lynn and Ash Streets and Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets, as the same are included and located on the plat of East Dubuque No. 2, be vacated and the land comprising said lots, streets anl' alleys be as though it had never been platted into lots as East Dubuque No. 2. I further find that notice of the fil- ing of said petition was posted in three public places, and one at the main door of the Court House of Du- buque County on the 8th day of April, 1907. That on the 7th day of May. 1907, the District Court of said Coun- ty fixed the time of the hearing of said petition for the 17th day of May, 1907, and that notice of said time of hear- ing was given by a publication in the morning edition of the Times - Journal en the 9th day of May, 1907. That on.the 17th day of May, 1907, the time fixed in said notice of the hearing of said petition, the City of Dubuque appeared in said action through its attorneys, J. W. Kintzing- er and E. E. Bowen, and filed objec- tions to the application for vacation. Adjourned Regular Session December 18, 1908 397 That from time to time during the course of the year 1907 various plead- ings were filed in said action by the City of Dubuque through its attor- neys, Kintzinger and Bowen. That there was a hearing to the Court in said matter in which said City was represented by the said at- torneys and on the 23rd day of April, 1908, the said Court entered a decree of vacation of said plat as prayed for in said petition. a copy of which de- cree I hereto attach and make a part hereof. In the decree above referred to the Court finds that all proper notices re- mitred in such proceedings for vaca- tion have been posted and published and that no persons other than the City of Dubuque makes any objec- tions to the said vacation, and that no valid obj has been made to said vacation, and that the streets and alleys asked co be vacated were not needed for public use or public high- ways. In effect the Court's decree holds that all the preliminary steps requir- ed by law have been taken. The de- cree being entered and no appeal therefrom having been taken by the City within the time required by law, in my judgment, the said vacation becomes a finality and binding upon the City and all others who may be interested and I know of no steps which the City could now take to have the action of -,he Court set aside. The decree hereto attached shows the present status of the streets and alleys referred to in your resolution. Respectfully submitted, GEO T. LYON, City Attorney. COPY.
