avenue between W. Third and W. Sec-
ond streets, be macadamized and that
the alley running west off of College
avenue between West Third and West
Second streets, be graded and made
passable in muddy weather, was on
motion, granted and the proper resolu-
tions to be prepared covering same.
Ald. Hines, chairman of the commit-
tee on ordinances, reported as follows:
Your committee on ordinances and
City Attorney to whom was referred the
ordinances of the Dubuque Bridge Co.
and the Illinois and Western Railway
Co., beg to report that we have gone
over both the ordinances carefully and
have had all corrections as asked for
by the Council at the session Febru-
ary 28th, made and the ordinances are
now in shape for the approval of the
Council.
Whereupon Ald. Hines presented and
read an ordinance granting to the Illi-
no's & Western Railway, its successors
and assigns, the right of way along
certain streets and alleys, and to use
and occupy for railway purposes cer-
tain public grounds in the city of Du-
buque, Iowa, and moved that the read-
ing just had be considered its first
reading.
Ald. Hopkins stated that before vot-
ing on the ordinance he wanted to ask
Adjourned Session, March 4, 1907
The ordinance is as follows:
59
for the opinion of the City Attorney
as to whether the City Council' could
grant the Illinois and Western railroad
a perpetual franchise.
City Attorney Kintzinger stated that
Section 955 of the Code of Iowa pro-
vides that no city shall have the pow-
er to grant or authorize a franchise to
any railway for a longer period than
25 years, and also that no franchise
shall be granted or authorized, until
after notice of the application therefor
has been published once each week for
four consecutive weeks in some news-
paper published in such city, and he
did not think the City of Dubuque
could grant the Illinois and Western
Railway a franchise for a Ionger period
than 25 years, neither could the fran-
chise be granted until the proper publi-
cations were made in the official news-
papers.
Mr. Hild stated that this section of
the code does not apply to this class
of railway franchises, and that no
financial concern would finance a rail-
road for such an enormous amount as
this road will require on a short time
grant, and unless the Illinois and
Western Railway can get a grant in
perpetuity it was no use going any
further with the ordinance.
City Attorney Kintzinger informed
the Council that should the four weeks
notice by publication of the Ordinance
be necessary under the law, and should
said notice not be given, the risk of
having the franchise declared invalid
would be with the railway company,
for both the failure to give said notice
and also for accepting an Ordinance
granting them a perpetual franchise.
Mr. Hild then stated he was positive
that this section of the code did not
apply to them.
Vote was then taken on the first
reading of the ordinance.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas —Aids, Clancy, Closs, Hines,
Hopkins, McEvoy and Stumpf.
Na ys —None.
Absent —Ald. Thomas.
Ald. Hines then moved' that the
rules be suspended for the purpose of
reading the ordinance by its title for
the second time.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas —Aids. Clancy, Closs, Hines,
Hopkins, McEvoy and Stumpf.
Nays - -None.
Absent —Ald. Thomas.
Ald. Hines moved that the ordinance
be now adopted as read.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas —Alds. Clancy, Closs, Hines,
Hopkins, McEvoy and Stumpf.
Nays —None.
Absent Ald. Thomas.
