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. 6o Adjourned Session, March 4, 1907 AN ORDINANCE.
