April 29, 1960 Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: We have been given to understand from the Traffic Department that about a year ago two hour parking limit signs were erected in the 900 block on White Street. This area was intended to be a non-meter buffer zone between the unrestricted area and the meter- ed areas on White Street. This zone was also intended to give some parking relief to the Schrup Motor Company and to the United Rent-All. It is felt that the City should adopt an ordinance to effect two hour parking in this block. It is therefore recommended that Schedule IV of Ordinance 33-49 be amended by adding a new sec- tion to Section 2 there of as follows: "ii. Both sides of White Street from East 9th to East 10th," and that proper proceedings be pre- pared. Respectfully submitted, LEO F. FROMMELT, Acting City Manager Mayor Takos moved that the recommendation be approved and that proper proceedings be pre- pared. Seconded by Councilman Schaller. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Schaller, Schreiber , Schueller. Nays-None.

In the past years this petition has been approved because of age and infirmity of the petitioner. I recommend that the petition be approved and the approval be sign- ed by the City Clerk and returned to the County Auditor. Respectfully submitted, LEO F. FROMMELT, Acting City Manager Mayor Takos moved that the recommendation be approved. Sec- onded by Councilman Schreiber.

Mr. Clarence Arlen, subdivider of the Clover Hills Subdivision, has agreed to grade and resod the area behind the various homes involved. Mr. Arlen made a committment as to the above by phone on April 22, 1900. It is reasonable to expect that if this is done and the azea is built up, specifically the pro- posed Church area, the petitioners problem should be eliminated. Respectfully submitted, LEO F. FROMMELT, Acting City Manager Mayor Takos moved that the recommendation be approved. Sec- onded by Councilman Schreiber. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Schaller, Schreiber , Schueller. Nays-None.

After viewing the area and the present condition of the catch basins on 11th Street, it was agreed by the Street Commisisoner, City Engineer and myself that no im- mediate danger of flooding is pres- ent. H the Dock Commission insist on making changes in various eleva- tions of area "A" at 11th Street, this should have been taken into account prior to any changes that would possibly effect flooding of any bordering properties. In order to lend our full coopera- tion, it was further decided that the Street Department would en- large one catch basin within a mat- ter of two weeks. Respectfully submitted, LEO F.

Rhomberg, Engineer and Land Sur- veyor, together with a copy of the revised plans. The Milwaukee Railroad asked for the inclusion of space for an- other track under the overpass sometime ago which changed the original plans and estimate. The present estimated revised cost of the project is $127,957.56 as compared to the original esti- mate of $111,304.84. The Milwaukee Road has agreed to particiapte in the payment of the project not to exceed $60,000.00. We now have on file, a proposed agreement as submitted by the Milwaukee Road that their finan- cial participation would not be- come effective before January 30, 1961. In meeting with members of the Milwaukee Railroad sometime ago, it was agreed to and made known that the above participation date was not acceptable to the City. The representatives of the Milwaukee Road then agreed to have this sec- tion of the agreement changed, if possible, and to let us know by re- turn mail. This information has not been received to date. The revised plans could be approved at this time however, subject to proper accept- anc of the financial arrangements to be submitted by the Milwaukee Railroad Company. Respectfully submitted, LEO F.

January 22, 1960 Honorable City Council City Manager Board of Dock Commissioners Dear Sirs: The following is a report of the activities of khe Board of Dock Com- missioners for the year of 1959. The Board held 22 regularmeet- ings and 20 special meetings dur- ing 1959. During 1959 the Board negotiat- ed new leases with ,the following firms for land on area "A": Special Session, May 23, 1960 265 Dubuque Dock Co... 3,059 acres :Ralston Purina Co...11.6747 acres Caradco; Eac ......:.:...... 5.12 acres Income from all sources for 1959, notincluding the money received from bhe St. Regis Co., Harnisch- feger, and the Ralston Purina Co. ~Gtatal $64,393.70) but including robe Wharfage from the Interstate Pow- er Co, of $6,712:98, which was ~de- ducted~from ~ourdebt to that com- pany, was ~ $82,546.03. This repre- sents an increase of 4.25% over 1958. Listed below are items of inter- est which took placeduming 1959. ' ' All available 'data in regard ko khe local Ice Harbor was submitted Ito the National Rivers and Harbors ~. Congress for the purpose of trying to have the Federal Government dredgethis area. Our Representa- tive inCongress had this projeM included in an authorization bill (H. R. 7634) bnt this Public Works bill was eventually vetoed by the President. The bill was then re- vised -and passed over bhe Presi- dent's veto but did not include our Ice Harbor project. Our Rep- resentative claims that we- can not plan on any action on this dredging until 1962, and then only if we can have it included in the Presi- dent's budget. The Midwest Dredging Co. in April started ho fill in a portion of Area "A." Due do mechanical failure of equipment and addition- al dredging required for the Ral- ston Purina Co. on their leased property, the Midwest Co. were un- able to finish their contraot before winter but shall finish in khe spring of 1960. In September a number of meet- ings were held by the Dock Com- mission, City Manager, Chicago Great Western Railroad Officials, and bhe occupants of Area "A" to discuss bhe possibility of construct- ing arailroad spur track into this area. The railroad recognizing the potential of ~bhis area agreed ko construct khis spur track at their own expense, with .the occupants of .the area paying for the siding on theirown property. In October an ordinance granting the Railroad permission to construct this track was..passed by the City Council. Tn September permission was granked~ to the Virginia Carolina Co. to construct awharf and barge unloading facilities along .their leased property on the 7kh St. har- bor. These facilities have been completed 'and they shall start in the spring to bring in all of Rheir basic raw materials by barge. Since 1946 when the Virginia Carolina Co. located in Dubuque bhe Dock Commission has tried, unsucessful- ly ~to promote the use of the river to khis Company, but as they are now under new management we were pleased when they made bhe decision as ~bhis will give the City additional wharfage. After months of negotiations be- tween the Dock Board and the Ral- ston Purina Co. of St. Louis, Mo., a lease was signed for 11.6747 acres on area "A" November 27th. This lease will run for (7) seven years or until 1967. The Ralston Purina Co. advanced to the Dock Board $26,393.70which represents kheir xenbal for the entire length of their lease. This advance renh was necessary in order that we could finish the dredging and con- struct roads into their property. Ralston's tentative plans call for a warehouse ko be constructed on the site at this time, buh their long range plans will call wor an employment figure of 100 men. A lease agreement was entered into on June 29th between the I?ock Commission and the Dubuque Dock Co. for 3.059 acres on area "A." Mr. Saul Greenstein has ten- bative plans ~to construct coal docks in this area, with facilities to han- dle other materials to be con- structed later. City's revenue from this area will be $2,320.00 per year, plus wharfage fees. While the lease of the Thomas J. Flynn Co. was signed in 1958 khe Flynn Co. started construction of their plant on area "A" in the Fall of 1959 and should be in operation in the spring of 1960. In the summer of 1959 khe Na- tional Guard, 389th Engineer Bat- talion, requested permission from the Dock Board to do certain con- struction vrork on area "A" which would give their men some prac- tical field training in road build- ing,ete. A considerable amount of man hours, in addition to the use of- Government trucks for hauling fill for roads was, in this manner, contributed Ito robe City. Our Wharfage from the Inter- , state Power Co. while decreasing 266 Special Session, May 23, 1960 by 23,224 tons in the past .year is being used to liquidate our indebt- edness to this company. On July 13th a lease agreement was entered into with the Caradco, Inc. company for 5.12 acres on area "A" paralleling 12th St. Car- adco have no immediate plans for this property but it is necessary for future expansion. In April ground was broken for the first industry to start construc- tion on area "B." This was the Dubuque Container Co., a subsidi- ary of the St. Regis Paper Co. This $1,000,000.000 factory will be in operation in early 1960. In April the Dubuque City Coun- cil approved the sale o£ 5.95 acres of land on the Light Industrial section of area "B" do the Eska Co. of Dubuque. Selling price, $3,000.00 per acre. This firm had plans to construct a 50,000 square foot building by July of 1960. As of February 1, 1960, no lease or sale has consummated. In May a Boat Loading Dock was constructed and placed in service by the ramp at the foot of Hawthorne Street, Area "B." This dock, used by boaters to load and unload passengers and equipment vrithout having to get into the water, has proved so popular that an additional one has been con- structed during the winter. This new unit will go into service at the same location in the spring of 1960. During November construction was started on the Kerper Boule- vard Sewage Pumping station by the Sehueller Construction Co. This pumping station project, we be- lieve, should be the last major construction job required on area „B „ The tonnage through our local terminal has increased 25% in 1959 over 1958, according to Mr. Saul Greenstein, operator of the ter- minal. This increase is very sub- stantial, but Mr. Greenstein looks for an even greater increase in 1960. Mr. Greenstein has request- ed permission from the Dock Board to construct new piling along the Terminal riverfront in the spring of 1960. This construction being necessary as water depth at old piling is too shallow for unloading barges. Permission was granted t after the project had been ap- proved by the U. S. Coast Guard. During July the formal dedica- tion of the new $300,000.00 Asphalt Terminal plant was held. The Sin- clair Refining Co, officials state that the capacity of the terminal is one and one hundred million gallons and that they will be sup- plied with asphalt by Sinclair's own fleet of barges out of Wood River, Illinois. This plant, in addition ~to giving the City increased wharf- age should substantially reduce the cost of asphalt for road building within a two hundred (200) mile radius of Dubuque. The Sinclair Co. considered this plant to be of soot importance that the Chairman of the Board, in addition ~to a number of Vice Presidents and General Managers from their entire system were in Dubuque for this occasion. During 1959 no permits for boat spaces in the Ice Harbor were is- sued until the Doek Board had in- speMed the applicants Marine equipment, and the immediate area which the applicant rents, to de- termine if everything was up to the standard set by the Board for them to fallow. In 1960 no permits will be issued for space along the river front unless the applicant has done everything possible, such as, repair, paint, etc., so that the City will receive no adverse criti- cism as happened in the spring of 1959. In 1960 the Dubuque Marina shall reach a saturation point, when the demands for boat spaces shall ex- ceed the space available. We have almost reached this point along our riverfront in the spaces which we have for mooring small river craft. This condition could give us a problem in the immediate future, unless we can find space for boats, especially if the trend, or interest in the river continues as it has in the past five years. During 1959 the City Water De- partment completed the grading and seeding of the parkway along Hawthorne Street. It is their plan to eventually plant trees and place benches in this park paralleling the river. For 1960 the City Council ~ap- proved abudget request for $5,000 o partially pay for the restoration Special Session, May 23, 1960 267 of the City's historic Shot Tower. This $5,000 placed in our budget created the necessary interest in the city and a "SAVE OUR SHOT TOWER" or "S. O. S." committee was organized to solicit additional funds needed to make the restora- tion of the Tower complete. Through the publicity given to this campaign by radio, newspaper, etc., the committee was able to raise this fund up to approximately $11,000, which includes the $5,000 in our budget. In early spring of 1960 the Shot Tower will be com- pletely restored, perhaps not to it's original likeness, but it shall be tuckpointed, capped on top,com- pletely braced with the rods, light- ning rods installed, landscaped, and if the Funds allow, it shall be floodlighted so it will be visible for miles. In December a contract was awarded to the Hennessey Bros. Co. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the construction of a storm sewer to run from 11th Street, across the Caradco property and into the Flood Control Reservoir. As this sewer, by Ampting into the reser- voir will provide a certain amount of flood control protection to in- dustries located in this area, the Caradco Co. and firms to be bene• fitted, agreed to pay the difference in cost between this plan and one which would place the sewer emp- tying into the 7th Street harbor. Construction will start on this sew- er in early February. Attached please find year end report, showing receipts and dis- bursements for 1959.

May 18, 1960 '~~ To the Honorable Mayor and- City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: Recently the Traffic Department was approached by the Rev. Harry Turner; Business Ad- ministrator of the University of Du- buque, regarding parking and traf- fic problems in the vicinity of the newScience Hall which has been constructed at the southeast corner of University and Algona Streets. Rev. Turner states that it is the wish of the University of Dubuque officials that the portion of Al- gona Street directly in front of the Science Hall be made a No Park- ing area. At the present time, this portion of Algona Street parks about four vehicles and is the only portfon of Algona Street between University Avenue and Bennett Street on which parking is allowed. These four remaining spaces are now controlled by two hour park- ing zone. The second portion of the Uni- versity request was that a No Park- ing zone be created on the south side of University Avenue from Al- gona Street east to Auburn Street. This property, along the entire block, is owned by the University of Dubuque. At the present time, there is no restriction on parking in the block except fora 30 foot zone running east from the corner of Algona Street. This zone was established one year ago in an effort to provide better visibility at the intersection. The Traffic Department has had this area under consideration for a considerable length of time be- cause of the dangerous congestion which builds up on the area during the periods of the day when traf- fic is at its peak. One particularly troublesome spot has been the intersection of Delhi-University and Auburn. Be- cause of the heavy load of shop- pers stopping at the Milk House at the corner of Auburn and Uni- versity, a dangerous situation has been created for pedestrians and motorists alike. Traffic moving through this in- tersection has had considerable difficulty and there have been numerous minor collisions because of the unfavorable parking condi- tions which exist in and near the Milk House. Much of the difficulty arises because the Milk House at- tempts to operate as a "quasi-drive- in" when there is really not enough room on the drive area to operate in this fashion. Efforts to bring about safer con- ditions in this area by applying stricter parking regulations have been rebuffed in the past because of the possible harm such regula- tion or enforcement might have on the retail trade at the Milk House. The area on University between Auburn and Algona has long been one o£ considerable trouble for the motorist. This condition is es- pecially noticeable duringthe win- ter months when the normal width of the travelled portion of the street is narrowed by Lhe accumulation of snow and ice at the curb. There were long periods of time during the past winter when the street was re- duced to one lane of travel because of the accumulation of snow and ice at the curb and because of the parked vehicles on both sides of the street. This condition did not exist in the block between Algona and Loras because of the one-side park- ing regulation in that block. It is 270 Special Session, May 23, 1960 believed that the adoption of one- side parking in the block between Auburn and Algona would be in the best interests of all motorists and pedestrians using the area. At the same time, the condition directly in the intersection of Au- burn-University and Delhi could be considerably improved by remov- ing the parking within the inter- section on the south side of Uni- versity from Auburn east for a distance of 102 feet. This pazticu- lar feature is already covered by ordinance, but, as in many loca- tions throughout the City, there has been no sign erection or en- forcement. The removal of the parking along this 102 foot stretch would provide better sight distances and maneuvering room for motor- ists traveling through the inter- section. It would improve the lot of the pedestrian attempting to cross the intersection and at the same time such prohibition should have little or no effect on customers of the Milk House. It is believed that few, if any, customers of this place of business park on this por- tion of University in order to do their shopping. The requests of the officials of the University of Dubuque are met with a certain amount of pleasure by the Traffic Department. It isn't often that the cooperation of the property owner abutting such an area can be realized in promoting the establishment of No Parking zones. This area is a constant source of danger. Large numbers of school children and university students traverse the area each day during the school year. During the sum- mer months, there is one steady procession of youngsters traveling to and from the Flora Park swim- ming area. It is one of the main arteries leading to West Dubuque and should be. considered primar- ily in the light of its importance in providing a safe and efficient movement of traffic, rather than in its importance as a storage place for vehicles. Therefore, it is recommended that: 1. A NO PARKING AREA be created on the east side of Al- gona Street from Campus Lane to University Avenue. 2. A NO PARKING AREA be created on the south side of University Avenue from Algona Street to a point 102 feet east of Auburn Street. Recommendation No. 1 would call for amending Ordinance No. 33-49 as follows: SCHEDULE VI. 60. on both sides of Algona Street from University Avenue to Bennett Street. 61. on the west side of Algona Street from University Avenue to Loras Boulevard. In SCHEDULE IV, Section aa. should be deleted. Recommendation No. 2, SCHED- ULE VI, Section hh. should be changed to read: hh. the south side of University Avenue from the east line of McCormick Street to a point 102 feet east of the east line of Auburn Street. It is recommended that both recommendations be approved in order to take care of the traffic problems at the University of Du- buque and the immediate vicinity. Respectfully submitted, LEO F. FROMMELT Acting City Manager Councilman Schaller moved that the recommendations be approved. Seconded by Councilman Schreiber. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Scha 11 a r, Schreiber, Schueller. Nays-None. May 19, 1960 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The petition relative to prohibiting parking on the south side of Ries Street was re- ferred to the City Manager and Traffic Department for investiga- tion and report. When the initial investigation was made, it appeazed to be a good move to grant the petition. However, upon further investiga- tion, after several complaints from the neighborhood, it was found that the petition actually involves a neighborhood dispute. It is therefore recommended that the petition be denied. Respectfully submitted, LEO F. FROMMELT Acting City Manager Special Session, May 23, 1960 271 Councilman Freund moved that the rules be suspended in order that anyone present may address the Council if they so desire. Sec- onded by Councilman Schaller. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Scha 11 a r, Schreiber, Schueller. Nays-None. Mr. John Uhlrich and Irvin Breit- bach addressed the Council in sup- port of the petition filed for park- ing on one side only. Councilman Freund moved that the recommendation of the acting City Manager be approved. Sec- onded by Councilman Schueller. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Scha 11 a r, Schreiber, Schueller. Nays-None. May 19, 1960 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The intersection of Madison Street and Clarke Drive is still an intersection that causes considerable concern. The vision is obstructed to motorists approach- ing from either of three directions. At the present time there is a stop sign controlling vehicles west- bound on Clarke Drive. The results are good but we still have oc- casional accidents and plenty of "near misses." The greatest point of danger ex- isting is the point of conflict be- tween vehicles eastbound on Clarke Drive and those headed north on Madison Street. It is the thinking of the Traffic Depaztment that a more favorable solution would be the control of eastbound vehicles on Clarke Drive by erecting a "yield" sign. Therefore it is recommended that a "yield" sign be erected on Clarke Drive at its intersection with Madison in such a manner as to require eastbound Clarke Drive traffic to yield to Madison Street traffic and that proper proceedings be prepared by amending Section C of Schedule X by adding subsec- tion 4 thereto as follows: "4. Clarke Drive and Madison Street " Respectfully submitted, LEO F. FROMMELT Acting City Manager Councilman Schreiber moved that the recommendation be approved and that proper proceedings be prepared. Seconded by Councilman Schaller. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Schaller, Schreiber , Schueller. Nays-None. May 17, 1960 Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The Police Depart- ment has received a complaint From St. Pauls Lutheran Church located at 20th and Jackson Streets with reference. to a traffic problem in front of their school at 2025 Jackson Street. It seems that on Sunday mornings, cars double park to let people out of their cars to attend Sunday school. It is recommended that a "No Parking between Signs" sign be placed on the first tree north and the first tree south of the entrance to St. Pauls Lutheran School build- ing at 2025 Jackson Street and that the curb space between these signs be painted yellow. Respectfully submitted, LEO F. FROMMELT Acting City Manager Councilman Schaller moved that the recommendation be approved. Seconded by Councilman Freund. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Schaller, Schreiber , I Schueller. Nays-None. May 17, 1960 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: Back in December of 1959, there must have been a request made to install a regular bus stop at 30th and Jackson Streets. About the same time a petition was received from the Copper Kettle to increase available parking area near this intersection. The Copper Kettle petition was denied, Yherefore, the installation of a bus stop would be contrary to the solution of the Copper Kettle problem. It is therefore recommended that the request for the installation of a regular bus stop at 30th and Jack- ~..`~. 272 Specia] Session, May 23, 1960 son be denied but that yellow paint be applied for a distance of 10 feet south of crosswalk in question in order to delineate the no parking azea within 10 feet of crosswalk. This should help anyone crossing or entering Jackson Street from East 30th Street to eliminate a visi- bility problem. Respectfully submitted, LEO F. FROMMELT Acting City Manager Mayor Takos moved that the recommendation be approved. Sec- onded by Councilman Schreiber. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Schaller, Schreiber , Schueller. Nays-None. May 18, 1960 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The Ordinance gov- erning city owned parking lots is incomplete. One new lot has been added since the adoption of Ordi- nance 61-57 and also several meter deposit changes have been made as per your approval of former recom- mendations. It is therefore recommended that Section 5 of Ordinance No. 61-57 be amended to read as follows: Section 5 of Ordinance No. 61-57 municipally owned Parking Lots in the City of Dubuque shall be desig- be amended to read as follows: Lot No. 1-The lot situated be- tween Ninth and Tenth and Iowa and Central Avenue; Lot No. 2-The lot situated at the southeast corner of Ninth and Bluff Streets; Lot No. 3-The lot situated at the southwest corner of Ninth and Bluff Streets; Lot No. 4--The lot situated at the northwest corner of Ninth and Bluff Streets; Lot No. 5-The lot situated gener- ally on lots 7 and 8 of City Lot 688; Lot No. 6-The lot situated at the northwest corner of Fifth and Bluff Streets; Lot No. 7-The lot situated at the southwest corner of Fourth and Iowa Streets; Lot No. S-The lot situated on the Middle 1/5 of Out Lot 448 in the City of Dubuque." It is further recommended that Section 5A of Ordinance No. 61-57 be amended to read as follows: "Section 5A. Parking meters on municipally owned parking lots, when installed and properly oper- ated, shall show legal pazking upon and after the deposit of the United States coins, in accordance with the following schedule: 1-On Parking Lots Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, and on the east half of Lot No. 6, such meters shall show legal parking for one hour upon the deposit of each five cent coint, two hours upon the deposit of each ten cent coin and five hours upon the deposit of one twenty-five cent coin; 2-On Parking Lots Nos. 5 and 7; and the west haH of Lot No. 6, such meters shall show legal parking for two hours upon the deposit of each five cent coin, four hours upon the deposit of each ten cent coin, and ten hours upon the deposit of one twenty-five cent coin; 3-On Parking Lot No. 8, such meters shall show legal parking for twelve minutes upon the de- posit of each one cent coin, one hour upon the deposit of each five cent coin, and two hours upon the deposit of each ten cent coin, but not more than a total of two hours at any one time.,. Respectfully submitted, Councilman Schaller moved that the recommendation be approved and that proper proceedings be prepared. Seconded by Councilman Freund. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Schaller, Schreiber , Schueller. Nays-None. May 19, 1960 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The petition of Mrs. Joyce Dougherty et al requesting the ex- tension of the water main on Ridgeway avenue from Alpha to Missouri Avenue was referred to the City Manager and Water su- perintendent. Ridgeway is only a half street 25 feet in width and the center Special Session, May 23, 1960 273 line of the future street is now the existing city limits therefore nothing could be assessed on the other side of the street. About six years ago the water department installed a water main on Ridgeway from Alpha to Born Avenue. All the property on the west side of the street is owned by Wm. Jenni and cannot be as-~' sensed because it is not within the corporate limits of the City. There is one possible way for the petitioners to have the main extended and that would be if each abutting property owner would pay $2.25 per lineal foot for the property abutting ltidge- way avenue. The water department would be obliged to stand the cost of the other side of the street, fire hydrants etc., in the hope that this amount could be collected when the area is brought into the corporate limits of the City or developed outside the City limits. Respectfully submitted, Leo F. Frommelt Acting City Manager. Councilman Freund moved that the communication be received and filed and the people con- cerned be notified and if in agree- ment the water department could proceed. Seconded by Councilman Schaller. Carried by We following vote: Yeas-Mayor Takos, Councilmen Freund, Schaller, Schreiber, Schueller. Nays-None.

Dubuque Iowa, May 23, 1960 Honorable Mayor and City Council of Dubuque, Iowa Some time ago I contacted two councilmen concerning the Du- buque Plumbing Ordinance which forbid issuance of a permit to any- one but a licensed plumber. At that time I had prepared a statement on the plumbing situa- tion in Dubuque, but I delayed ac- tion because of a tip off on the forthcoming electrical ordinance. In view of the fact that there is a similazity between the two situ- ations, Ihave postponed any fur- ther action on the plumbing ordi- nance until after the electrical or- dinance has been processed. In view of the information on hand, the change is to be in th^ form of the issuance of licenses to qualified men who can then per- form the work-and only they can perform electrical wiring in Du- buque, Iowa. In the case of contractors etc. who are in the wiring business as a livlihood, I am 100% for them to obtain a license, but the license must not be required by property owners to work on their own prop- erty. I am 100% in favor of the pres- ent set up requiring permits and inspections. The permit is the guarantee to the City of Dubuque of the final inspection, by the electrical inspector. I state that any ordinance to the contrary is most unnecessary, and further, it is in violation of the rights of individuals in a free country such as ours. If the City Council of Dubuque passes any more ordinances re- quiring alicense to work on your I own property they should also ~M 2S4 Special Session, May 23, 1960 provide funds to test the ordinance under the Constitution of the United States.
