PETITIONS AND COMMUNICA-
TIONS.
The following communication from
the Water Works Trustees and City
Attorney was presented and read:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen: —The undersigned, Board_
of Water Works Trustees and City At-
torney, would respectfully. report:
That they have made arrangements
for the employment of two account-
ants to examine the accounts and books
of the old Water Works Trustees. The
persons with whom we have arranged
to do this work are Albert C. Lansky
and Presley S. Fawkes, both of whom
are good bookkeepers and accountants
and are highly recommended for such
work. The compensation for such ser-
vices will be one ($1.00) dollar each
per hour. They estimate that this ex-
amination can be made in not exceed-
ing from 200 to 300 hours each, which
would make a total cost for this exami-
nation of from $500 to $600. Both of
these men are residents and citizens of
this city and we believe they will give
faithful service to the city in this ex-
amination. The amount paid to the
former experts for the examination of
the same books was about $3,500.
Being satisfied that this work cannot
be done to any better advantage to
the city for less money than that
agreed upon by Mr. Lansky and Mr.
Fawkes, we would respectfully recom-
mend that our action in selecting them_
be approved and that we be authorized
to employ them, their compensation to
be paid for by the city.
