RESOLUTION N0. 171.49
On June 23, 1949, Robert P.
Marshal], for many years Auditor

to his eternal reward. His passing
was the occasion for great sorrow
to his legion of friends in this
community. Quiet, unassuming in
his demeanor, he won and held
the friendship and respect of his
superiors, his associates, and all
who had the opportunity of know-
ing him. His life typified the
model husband, father, citizen and
thoroughgoing gentleman. As a
public official he was courteous,
honest and conscientious in the
performance of his duty. The posi-
tion he occupied with the City of
Dubuque was one of great import-
ance and trust and he fulfilled
his responsibilities is a capable
and commendable manner.
The City of Dubuque owes to
Robert P. Marshall a debt of
gratitude and this Council, as the
governing body thereof, wishes to
repay this obligation by giving
public expression of the apprecia-
tion and high regard in which he
was held by all, both as a public
official and as a man;
Now, Therefore,
Be It Resolved by the C i t y
Council of the City of Dubuque
that this tribute to his memory be
perpetuated by having the same
spread on the public records of
the City of Dubuque, and be it
further resolved that a copy hereof
be forwarded by the Clerk to the
bereaved family.

ORDINANCE N0. 27-49
An ordinance defining restaurant,
itinerant restaurant, employee, uten-
sils, health officer, etc., requiring per-
mits for the operation of such estab-
lishments, prohibiting the safe of adul-
terated, unwholesome or misbranded
Pood or drink, regulating the inspec-
tion (grading, regrading, and placard-
ing) of ouch establishments, the en-
forcement of this ordinance, and the
fixing of penalties.
Be it ordained by the Board of Health
(City Council) of the city of Dubuque
as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS
Tee following definitions shall apply
in the interpretation and the enforce-
ment of this ordinance:
A. Restaurant.-The term "re~taur-
ant" shall mean restaurant, coffee
shop, cafeteria, short order cafe, lun-
cheonette, tavern, sandwich stand,
soda fountain, and all other eating or
drinking establishments, as well as
kitchens or other places in which 'ond
or drink is prepared for sale elsa~
where;
B. Itinerant restaurant"-The teen
"itinerant restaurant" shall mean one
operating for a temporary period in
connection with a fair, carnival, cir-
cus, public .exhibition, or other anniiar
gathering.
For sanitation requirements fur
itinerant restaurants see end of ser•-
tion s.
C. Employee.-The term "emglcyee"
shall mean any person who handles
food or drink during preparation or
serving, or who comes in contact with
any eating or cooking utensils, or who
is employed in a room in which food
or drink is prepared or served.
D. Utensils.-"utensils" shall in-
clude any kitchenware, tableware,
glassware, cutlery, utensils, contain-
ers, or other equipment with which
food or drink comes in contact during
storage, preparation, or serving.
E. Health officer.-The term "health
officer" shall mean the Director of
'F
~,
330 ~ Special Session, July 18th, Ig49
Health of the city of Duhuque or his
authorized representative.
F. Person.-The word "person" shall
mean person, firm, corporation, or
association.
SECTION 2. PERMITS.
It shall be unlawful for any person
to operate a restaurant in the city of
Dubuque who does not possess an un-
revoked permit from the health officer.
Such permit shall be posted in a con-
spicuous place. Only persons who
comply with the requirements of this
ordinance shall be entitled to receive
and retain such a permit. A person
conducting an itinerant restaurant
shall also be required to secure a
permit.
Such a Permit may be temporarily'
suspended by the health officer upml
the violation by the holder of :+ny of
[he terms of this ordinance, .m re-
voked after an opportunity for a
hearing by the health officer upon
serious or repeated violation.
Where the grading form of the ordi-
nance is in effect, it is not the intent
of this section to require annual per-
mits. In such cases the permit is of
value primarily as a registration de-
vice. It permits the health officer to
prosecute any persons who begin oper-
ating arestaurant without notifying
him, and thus without being graded.
The grading principle of the ordinance
makes it unnecessary that the permit
be renewed annually, inasmuch as the
continuous announcement of grades
through grade placards as determined
by periodic inspection is equivalent
to the periodic granting of permits.
Where the nongrading form of the
ordinance is in effect, the health of-
ficer may find it advantageous to r%-
quire annual permits, and to refuse
to issue or renew such permits unless
the ordinance requirements are sat-
isfied.
This section authorizes the health
officer to suspend or revoke the per-
mit for cause. Suspension of the per-
mit Yor violation of the sanitation
items of section 6 is provided [or in
section 6 and is discussed in the Code
material under section 5. When zny of
the provisions of this ordinance otter
than the sanitation items of section
6 are found to be violated, regardless
of whether the grading or the non-
grading form of the ordinance is in
effect, the restaurant is subject to
suspension of permit. Section 2 auth-
orizes the health officer to suspend
permits temporarily without a hearing.
Such authority is necessary in order
to permit prompt action for any viola-
tion in emergencies when there is a
serious health hazard.
The permit may be revoked perma-
nently far serious or repeated viola-
tions of any provision oY any section
oP the ordinance. An oppbrtunity for
a hearing must be provided before
such revocation.
The procedure governing reinstate-
ment of the permit following suspen-
sion Is given in section 8.
SECTION 3. PLACARDING OR
PUBLIC DISPLAY OF GRADE
NOTICE
Every restaurant shall display at all
times, in a place designated by the
health officer, a notice approved by
the health officer, stating the grade
of the establishment.
Where the grading Yorm of the ordl-
uance is in effect and restaurants of a
grade lower than grade A are permitt-
ed to operate, it is imperative that
the health officer rigidly enforce
proper grade display by al] restaurants
and similar establishments, in order
that customers may be informed of
the grade thereof. The grade display
is the means whereby the competitive
effect of grading tends to improve
restaurant sanitation.
Immediately upon the degrading of
any restaurant the health officer
should require that all grade displays
be changed. This may be done by
means of rubber stamps or stickers
indicating the lower grade. The health
officer should carry with him on all
inspections the necessary rubber
stamps and stickers.
The grade notice may be displayed
on menu cards or boards or upon a
separate placard, and shall be of a
type and in a location approved uy
the health officer as being readily
vistuie to the patrons.
SECTION 4. EXAMINATION
AND CONDEMNATION OF
UNWHOLESOME
Samples of food, drink, and other
substances may be taken and exam-
ined by the health officer as often as
may be necessary for the detec`ion of
unwholesomeness or adulteration. The
health officer may condemn and for-
bid the sale of, or cause to be remov-
ed or destroyed, any food or drink
which is unwholesome or adulterated.
While this section authorizes the
health officer to examine and cmr
demo food or drink which is unwhole-
some or adulterated the local health
officer will usually find it most prac-
ticable to limit such action to spoiled
foods, those suspected of having caus-
ed nr being able to cause food-peison-
ing outbreaks, or other conditions
which may involve an immediate
hearth hazard, and to refer those
cases of suspected adulteration and
misbranding which involve no imme-
diate health hazard, to the State food
control officials or to the U.S. Foa~i
and Drug Administration.
When cases of food poisoning are. re-
ported an immediate epidemiological
and laboratory investigation should
be made by the local or State health
department in an effort to determine
the vehicle and the source so as to
prevent a recurrence. Section 10 gives
the health officer full power to act
when infection is suspected. The pro-
cedure to be followed in food-poisoning
outbreaks is discussed in "Food Con-
trol" by S. H. Shrader (1939), pp. 63-69.
Samples fur the determination of
adulteration and misbranding should
be taken and examined in accordance
with the methods prescribed by the
Association of Official Agricultural
Chemists.
SECTION 5. INSPECTION `)F
RESTAURANTS
At least once every 6 months the
health officer shall inspect every res•
taurant located within the city of
Dubuque. In' case the health officer
discovers the violation of any item of
sanitation required for the grade then
held, he shall make a second inspection
after the lapse of such time as he
deems necessary for the defect to be
remedied, and the second inspection
shall be used in determining compli-
ance with the grade requirements of
this ordinance. Any violation of the
same item of this ordinance on such
second inspection shall call for im-
mediate degrading or suspension of
permit.
One copy of the inspection report
shall be posted by the health officer
upon an inside wall of the restaurant,
_„L
,..
Special Session, July 18th, 1949 331
and said inspection report shall not ne
defaced or removed by any person
except the health officer. Another
copy of the inspection report shall be
filed with the records oP the health
department.
The person operating the restaurant
shall upon request of the health officer
permit access to all parts of the es-
tablishment and shall permit copying
any or all records of food purchased.
The first sentence of this sectiou
should not be taken to imply that one
inspection every 6 months is a desir-
able frequency. It should instead be
regarded as the legal minimum. Tn
actual practice it is desirable to in-
spect every restaurant at least every
3 months. Special attention is directed
to the requirement that a restaurant
be immediately degraded and the
grade notice changed, or the permit
suspended, if hvo successive inspec-
tions disclose violation of the same
item.
Experience has demonstrated con
alusively that a strict enforcement •~f
the ordinance leads to a far better anti
more friendly relationship between the
health officer and the industry than
does a policy of enforcement which
seeks to excuse violations and defer
punishment therefor. The inspector's
criterion of satisfactory compliance
should be neither too lenient m lily
one hand nor unreasonably stringent
on the other. Violations of minor or
insignificant degree should not be en-
tered as a violation on the inspection
form but should be called to the man-
agement's attention and should be en-
tered as a remark.
Vi'henever a violation is discovered
the inspector should point out to the
management the requirement that has
been violated, should explain the pub-
lic health reason for the require-
ment, and should suggest methods
for correcting the defect. An educa-
tional rather than a policeman type of
approach is recommended.
The penalty of degrading or suspen-
sion of permit is provided in order to
prevent continued violation oY the pro-
visions of this ordinance, but thn.
wording is designed to Protect the
industry against unreasonable or dic-
tatorial action. Of course, when a
condition is found which constitutog
an imminent health hazard prompt
action is necessary in order to
protect the public health; there-
fore, the health officer :s au-
thorized by section 2 to suspend the
permit immediately. However except
for such emergencies, no penalty is
inflicted on the restaurant upon the
first violation of any of the items
of sanitation listed in section 6. A
restaurant Pound violating any item
must first be notified in writing, and
must be given a reasonable period of
time In which to correct the defect
before a second inspection is made.
After receipt of the notice of violation,
but before the allotted time has elaps-
ed, the management has an opportun-
ity to appeal to the health officer or
board of health from the inspector's
interpretation or far an extrmsion of
the time allowed for correction. Not
until the second inspection has reveal-
ed failure to correct the defect is the
restaurant subject to degrading or sue-
pension of permit. Even then the
management still has the legal right
to refuse to display the lower grade
notice or to continue operating after
the permit has been suspended, and
to rely for vindication upon court ac-
tion instituted by the health officer.
It is only fair to state, however, that
the courts usually sustain the health
officer unless the ordinance require-
ment or interpretation to proved to
be unreasonable.
Violation of any of the provisions of
this ordinance other than the sanita-
tion items given in section 6 is punish-
able only by suspension or revoca-
tion oY permit, even where the
grading form of the ordinance is in
effect. For the procedure in such
cases, see the Code discussion under
section 2.
SECTION 6. THE GRADING
OF RESTAURANTS
1'he grading of al] restaurants shad
be based upon the following standards.
This ordinance does not require Ure
periodic announcement of the grades
of [he restaurants in the community.
Publishing the names of the estab-
lishments of different grades would
require much •space and is not riec-
essary because prospective customers
may ascertain the grade of an estab-
lishment from the grade placard re-
quired by section 3. However, health
offtcials periodically should issue news
releases which include the following
points:
(1) The supervision of the lo; al eat-
ing and drinking establishments is a
public health activity designed Lo
minimize the spread of certain dis-
eases. This activity is beneficial bath
to the public and to the restaurant
personnel.
(l) The restaurants are graded ac-
cording to their compliance with sani-
tation requirements. Grade A estab-
lishments are the safest, Grade B
places have failed to comply with one
or more of the less important require-
ments, and grade C restaurants have
violated one or more of the important
items of sanitation, Grade C places
are permitted to operate for only a
temporary period of 30 days or less;
it is a penalty grade which was pro-
vided in the ordinance so as to permit
restaurants which fail to comply to
continue to operate during a short
grace period while improvements are
being made.
(3) Patrons should look °or the
grade before patronizing an estab-
lishment, and should patronize only
the grade A places.

effectively subjected to an approved
bactericidal process immediately fol-
lowing the day's operation. llrying
cloths, if used, shall be clean and shall
he used for na other purpose.
No article, polish, or other substance
containing any cyanide preparation
or other poisonous material shall be
used for the cleaning ur polishing ~ f
utensils.
Satisfactory compliance.-This item
shall be deemed to have been satis-
fied if:
(1) All equipment, including dis-
play cases and windows, counters,
shelves, tables, meat blocks, refrig-
erators, stoves, and hoods, are kept
clean and free from dust, djrt, in-
sects, and other contaminating ma-
terial.
(2) All tablecloths, napkins, and
cloths used by waiters, chefs, and
other employees are clean.
(3) Single-service articles, such as
paper cups, plates, straws, and milk
bottle caps, are used once only.
(4) Al] multi-service eating ant
drinking utensils are thoroughly clean-
ed after each usage, and all multi-
use utensils used in the preparation
or service of food and drink are thor-
oughly cleaned immediately following
the day's operation, in such manner
as to be clean to the sight and touch.
A suitable detergent shall be aced.
(5) After cleaning, all such atensils
are effectively subjected to one or
more of the following or other equiv-
alent approved bactericidal processes.
(a) Immersion for at least 2 min-
utes in clean, hot water at a temper-
ature of at least 170 degrees F. or for
1,2 minute in boiling water. Unless
actually boiling water is used an ap-
proved thermometer shall be avail-
able convenient to the vat. The peur-
ing of scalding water aver washed
utensils shall not be accepted as sat-
isfactory compliance.
Where hot water is used for bac-
tericidal treatment, there shall be pro-
vided a hot water heater (preferably
controlled by a thermostat) capable
of maintaining a water temperature
of at least 170 degrees F. jn the vat
at all times during business hours,
and water at such temperature shall
be available at all times while uten-
sils are being washed and given bac-
tericidal treatment. The heating de-
vice may be integral with the immer-
sion vat. It is considered that even jn
the case of roadside stands hot water
may be obtained through the use of
gasoline or kerosene stoves which
may, if the wash and rinse vats are
correctly constructed, be placed di-
rectly thereunder. Provision should be
made for compensating for heat loss
to the utensils, especially when large
numbers are submerged at any time.
Care shall be taken in the bacterici-
dal treatment of containers by immer-
sion in hot water or chlorine rinse to
prevent the trapping oY air in the con-
i i~
,'
`s
334 Special Session, July 18th, 1949
tainer, thus preventing contact with
the entire surface of the container.
This may be accomplished by placing
all glasses, cups, plates, and saucers
in a venting position so that air wit]
not be trapped.
(b) Immersion for at least 2 minutes
in a lukewarm chlorine bath contain-
ing at least 50 ppm of available chlor-
ine iY hypochlorites are used, or a
concentration of equal bactericidal
strength if chloramines are used. The
bath should be made up at a strength
of 100 ppm or more of hypochlorites
and shall not be used after its strength
has been reduced to 50 ppm. Bacterici-
dal treatment with chlorine is ineffec-
tive if the utensils have not been
thoroughly cleaned. Where chlorine
is relied upon for bactericidal treat-
ment, the bactericidal treatment re-
quirement of this item shall therefore
be considered as violated if the utensils
so treated are not clean. Chlorine
solutions once used shall not be re-
used for bactericidal treatment on any
succeeding day, but may be reused for
other purposes.
Where chlorine treatment is used .~
three-compartment vat shall be re-
quired, the first compartment to be
used for washing, the second for plain
rinsing and the third for chlorine im-
mersion; provided that for existing
installations the second or rinsing com-
partment may be omitted if a satisfac-
tory rinsing or spraying device is sub-
stituted. This will prevent the exces-
sive consumption of chlorine by or-
ganic matter and washing compound
carried over from the washing com-
partment. The first basket of utensils
will remain in the chlorine bath for
at ]eastl minutes while the second
basket is in the plain rinse and the
third basket is being washed. Upon
removal from the chlorine bath the
utensils may be rinsed in clean run-
ning water, if desired, and allowed
to dry either in the basket or inverted
on a drain shelf or tray.
The health officer shall satisfy him-
self by frequent test that the chlorine
bath in actual use is of the required
strength.
(c) Exposure in a steam cabinet
equipped with an indicating thermom-
eter located in the coldest zone to at
least 170 degrees F. Por at least 15
minutes, or to at least 200 degrees F.
for at least 5 minutes. For a discussion
of steam cabinets see item 14r of the
U. S. Public Health Service Milk
Code. Steam cabinets should be pro-
vided with a valve to permit the dis-
charge oP cold air when steam is
admitted.
(d) Exposure in a properly designed
oven or hot-air cabinet equipped with
an indicating thermometer located in
the coldest zone to hot air at a tem-
perature o[ at least 180 degrees F.
for at least 20 minutes. Equipment
that is too large to immerse may be
treated (1) with live steam from a
hose, in the case of equipment in
which steam can be confined (2) by
boiling water rinse, or (3) by spraying
or swabbing with chlorine solution of
approved strength.
Health officers should check with a
thermometer the actual temperatures
need in the methods which zmploy
heat as the bactericidal agent. For all
bactericidal processes the actual period
of exposure to the temperature or the
chlorine rinse should be checked to
determine compliance. To nremote ad-
equate exposure even during rush
hours, restaurants should be encourag-
ed to provide a sufficient supply of
glasaee, dishes, cups, and tableware,
particularly where the process em-
ployed requires a ton: exposure period.
Drying cloths, if used, shall be clean
and shall be used for no other pur-
pose. It is recommended that wher-
ever possible utensils be permitted to
drain dry without the use of drying
cloths.
In dishwashing machines the use of
higher wash water temperatures, high-
er detergent concentrations, and the
more efficient mechanical removal of
soil, make it possible to employ a
shorter exposure period far the final
treatment (the hot water of chlorine
rinse, or, in the case of some glass-
washere, the exposure to a yet ,~P
steam).
When dishwashing machines are
used the bactericidal treatment stand-
ards given above in 5(a) through 5(d)
will not apply, and the health officer
shall resort to other methods such as
the following for determining the
actual results obtained.
Where bacteriological laboratory fa-
cilities are available, the swab tesS
procedure for determining the cumber
of bacteria on utensil surfaces to rec-
ommended for~the bacteriological ex-
amination of utensils which have been
cleansed and disinfected by an7 of
the abovz methods. '
(0) No article, polish, or other sub-
stance containing any cyanide pre-
paration or other poisonous material
is used for the cleansing or polishing
of utensils. The field test, described
by Korff and Kaplan m the pctobur
1942 issue of the American Journal of
Public Health, may be used for the
detection of cyanide in metal polishes.
ITEM t1, STORAGE AND HAN•
DLING OF UTENSILS AND

age backflow, all waste water from re-
frigeration equipment drains into an
open sink or drain, properly trapped
and sewer connected; provided that
where sewer connections are not avail-
' able clean adequate water-tight drip
pans may be used, or the drainage is
disposed of in an approved manner.
ITEM 14. WHOLESOMENESS OF
FOOD AND DRINK
All food and drink shall be clean,
wholesome, free from spoilage, and so
prepared as to be safe for human
consumption. All milk, fluid milk pro-
ducts, ice cream, and other frozen des-
serts served shall be from approved
sources. Milk and fluid milk products
shall be served in the individual orig-
ins] containers in which they were
received from the distributor or from
a bulk container equipped with an ap-
proved dispensing device: Provided.
that this requirement shall not apply
_~al
to cream, which may be served from
the original bottle or from a dispenser
approved for such service. Ah oysters,
clams, and mussels shall be from ap-
proved sources, and if shucked shall
be kept until used in the containers in
which they were placed at the shuck-
ing plant.
Satisfactory compliance. - This
item shall be deemed to have been
satisfied if:
(1) A11 food and drink are clean,
wholesome, free Prom spoilage, and so
prepared as to be safe for human con-
sumption. The term "food and drink"
shall include condiments, dressings,
and sauces.
(2) All custard-filled and cream-
filled pastries served have beer re-
baked, after filling at an oven tem-
perature of at least 425 degrees F. for
at least 20 minutes and cooled to 50
degrees F. or less within 1 hour after
rebaking; or the filling has been
heated before the pastry shells were
filled, so that every particle of the
mix was held at a temperature of at
least 190 degrees F. for at least 10
minutes and cooled, either before or
after filling the pastry shells, to 54
degrees F, or less within 1 hour after
heating.
(3) All milk, fluid milk products, ice
cream, frozen custard, sherbet, ices,
and similar frozen desserts served are
from sources approved by the health
officer. Pasteurized milk and milk pro-
ducts should be used where available.
(4) All milk and fluid milk products
are served in the individual original
containers in which they were received
from the distributor, or from a bulk
container equipped with an approved
dispensing device.
In the case of milk drinks mixed at
soda fountains, etc., this provision
shall be interpreted as requiring that
the milk used shall include the entire
contents of the original container or
shall be from an approved bulk dis-
penser. Mixing of milk drinks sh~~.ll
be done in a sanitary manner.
In enforcing this item the health
officer may make an exception in the
case of cream served with coffee, cer-
eals, etc., as in this case it is im-
practicable to serve in the original
container because of the fact that it
is impossible Por the distributor to
deliver cream to the establishment in
the unit-size containers which would
be required in each case. Further-
more the use of expensive bulk dis-
pensers may not be a defensible re-
quirement for all soda fountains, rest-
aurants, etc. For such service the
health officer may permit transferring
from the original bottle, or from a
pump, m•n, or other dispenser which
complies with requirements and which
is Pilled in a sanitary manner, kept
clean, and frequently subjected to bac-
tericidal treatment complying with the
requirements of item 10.

ties. Res0aurant employees should have
some knowledge of food-borne diseases
and modes of transmission, should be
thoroughly acquainted with the re-
quirements of this ordinance, should
not work when ill or with discharging
or Uresumably infected sores nr
wounds (see section 3), and should he
meticulous about personal hygieac,
particularly cleanliness of hands and
nails. Manuals far instructions +f food
handlers are available 'rem a number
of sources, including the City Depart-
ment of Public Health, Flint, Michi-

GRADE B RESTAURANTS
Grade B restaurants are those which
fail to comply with item 1, 2, 4, 6, or
17, but which conform with all other
)
I
yi
ji:
Special Session, July 18th, 1949 337
items of sanitation required for grade
A restaurants.
Where the grading form of the
ordinance is in effect, the above defin-
ition is designed to represent restaur-
ants which fail to meet certain grade
A requirements that are not of major
public health significance. Restaur-
ants which fail to meet any one oP the
more important of the grade A re-
quirements on two successive inspec-
tions are degraded to grade C.
In communities which are not yet
in position to limit operations to res-
taurants of the highest grade only,
this definition serves as the specifica-
tions for the second grade.
In other municipalities which under
section 7 permit none but grade A
restaurants to operate (except during
temporary degrading periods) grade B
serves a useful role as a penalty grade
to which grade A restaurants may be
temporarily degraded for minor vio-
lations which the health officer would
hesitate to punish with so severe a
penalty as suspension of permit.
GRADE C RESTAURANTS
Grade C restaurants are those which
fail to comply with either the grade
A or the grade B requirements.
Where the grading form is in ef-
fect, this defnition is designed to nerve
as a temporary penalty grade for those
restaurants which fail to satisfy the
°rade A or the grade B requirements.
If any restaurant which has been de-
graded to grade C fails to qualify for a
higher grade within the period spe-
cified in section 7, its permit is sus-
pended or revoked.
ITINERANT RESTAURANTS
Itinerant restaurants shall be con-
structed and operated in an approved
manner.
The health officer should approve
an itinerant restaurant only if it com-
plies with [he following sanitation re-
quirements:
It shall be located in clean surround-
ings and kept in a clean and sanitary
condition. It shall be so constructed
and arranged that food, drink, utensils,
and equipment will not be exposed to
insects or to dust or other contamin-
ation. Only food and drink which is
clean, wholesome, and free from adul-
teration shall be sold or served. An
adequate supply of water of safe, sani-
tary quality shall be easily available
and used for drinking and for cleaning~
utensils and equipment. If multiu9e
utensils are used in the serving of food
or drink, they shall be thoroughly
washed with hot water and a sat-
isfactory detergent and effectively
subjected to an approved bactericidal
process after each use and so handled
and kept as to be protected from
contamination. Adequate provision
shall be made for refrigeration of
perishable food and drink. Ice used
in or with food or drink shall be
from a source approved by the health
officer and so handled as to avoid
contamination.
Garbage and refuse shall be kept in
tightly covered, watertight containers
until removed and shall be disposed of
in a place and manner approved by
the health officer. Dishwater and
other liquid wastes shall be so dis-
posed of as not to create a nuisance.
No person suffering from any dis-
ease transmissible by contact or
through food or drink or who is a
carrier oP the germs of such a dis-
ease shall be employed in any capaci-
ty. Adequate and satisfactory toilet
and hand-washing facilities shall be
readily accessible to employees. No
person engaged in the handling or
serving of food or drink shall return
to his work, after using the toilet,
without first thoroughly washing his
hands.
Upon failure of any person maintain-
ing or operating an itinerant restaur-
ant, after warning, to comply with any
of these requirements it shall be the
duty of the health officer summarily
to forbid the further sale or serving
of food or drink therein. Any person
continuing to sell or serve food or
drink in such a restaurant after being
so forbidden, shall be subject to the
penalties provided for violation of
this ordinance.
SECTION 7. GRADE OF RESTAU-
RANT WHICH MAY OPERATE
From and after 12 months from the
date un which this ordinance takes
effect no restaurant shall be operated
within the city of Dubuque or its
police jurisdiction, unless it conforms
with the grade A or grade B or ap-
proved itinerant restaurant require-
ments of this ordinance: Provided,
That when any restaurant fails to
qualify for any of these grades the
health officer is authorized to sus-
pend the permit or in lieu thereof to
degrade the restaurant and permit its
operation during a temporary period
not exceeding 30 days
SECTION 8. REINSTATEMENT OF
PERMIT; SUPPLEMENTARY
REGRADING
Any restaurant, the grade of which
has been lowered and all grade dis-
plays have been changed accordingly,
or the permit of which has been sus-
pended, may at any time make ap-
plication for regrading or the rein-
statement of the permit.
Within one week after the receipt
of a satisfactory application, accom-
panied by a statement signed by the
applicant to the effect that the violat-
ed provision or provisions of this or-
dinance have been conformed with,
the healtli officer shall make a re-
inspection, and thereafter as many
additional reinspections as he may
deem necessary to assure himeelf that
the applicant is again complying with
the higher grade requirements, and,
in case the findings indicate compli-
ance, shall award the higher grade
or reinstate the permit.
No application for regrading upward
should be considered by the health
officer unless the restaurant in ques-
tion has complied with the require-
ments and interpretation of section 4
of this ordinance relative to the dis-
play of grade signs after having been
degraded.
SECTION 9. DISEASE CONTROL
No person who is affected with any
disease in a communicable form or is
a carrier of ouch disease shall work in
any restaurant and no restaurant shall
employ any such person or any person
suspected oP being affected with any
disease in a communicable form or of
being a carrier of such disease If the
restaurant manager suspects that any
employee has contracted any disease
in a communicable form or has become
a carrier of such disease he shall no-
tify the health officer immediately.
A placard containing this section shall
be posted in all toilet rooms.
The above requirement prohibits
persons having or suspected of having
any disease in a communicable form or
who are carriers or are suspected of
being carriers of such disease from
employment in any restaurant. No
person having a discharging or pre-
sumably infected wound, sore or le-
sion shall handle food, drink, utensils,
or equipment.
This ordinance does not require rou-
tine medical examinations for food
handlers because it is felt that the
338 Special Session, July ISth, 1949
conflicting opinions oY health officers
on the value of such examinations do
not warrant such a requirement.
The experience of New York City as
reported by Dr. William H. Best (Is
Routine Examination and Ce[tification
of Food Handlers Worth While, Ameri-
can Journal of Public Health, 27, 1003-
6, Oct. 1937) indicated that the pro-
cedure oY having such examinations
made by private physicians was un-
satisfactory and that the cost of medi-
Cxl examinations made by the health
department was not commensurate
with the public-health benefits obtain-
ed. Accordingly, not even initial health
examic~ations - to be made before or
at the time of employment -are re-
quired by this ordinance, which is
recommended for general adoption. For
further discussion of this subiect, see
Fuchs, A. W., The U. S. Public Health,
Service .Restaurant Sanitation Pro-
Health, 32, 848 52 (Augn1942)f Journal
of Milk Technology, 4 305-10 (Nov.-
llec. 1941). However, commnmties
which consider it desirable to include
such a requirement in the ordinance
as adopted locally may do so ;f their
official facilities for making the ex-
aminations are adequate.
SEC INFECTION OSUSP CTEDHEN
When suspicion arises as to the
posslbillty of transmission of infection
from any restaurant employee the
health officer is authorized to require
any or all of the following measures:
(1) the immediate exclusion of the
employee from all restaurants; (2) the
immediate closing of the restaurant
concerned until no further danger of
disease outbreak exists, in the opinion
of the health officer; (3) adequate
medical examinations of the employee
and of his associates, with such labo-
ratory examinations as may be in-
dicated.
SECTINTERPRETAT ONMENT
This ordinance shall be enforced b~
the health officer in accordance with
the interpretations thereof contained
in the 1943 edition of the U. S. Public
Health Service Code Regulating Eat-
ing and Drinking Establishments, a
certified copy of which shall be on
file at the City Clerk's office.
SECTION 12. PENALTIES
Any person who shall violate any
provision of this ordinance shall be
fined not more than $100.00 and in
default of payment thereof by im-
prisonment not to exceed 30 days.
Each and every violation of the pro-
visions of this ordinance shall con-
stitute aseparate offense.
SECTION lOF EFFECT ND DATE
Al] ordinances and parts of ordi-
nances in conflict with this ordinance
are hereby repealed, and this ordi-
nance shall be in full force and effect
immediately upon its adoption and its
publication as provided by law.

July 14, 1949
Honorable Mayor and
the City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa
Cventlemen:
At a session of the City Council
of the City of Dubuque, Iowa, held
June 30, 1949 the following mo•
tions were adopted.
That the petition of Mr, and Mrs.
Charles J. Scharff and others re-
questing that Bluff Street between
3rd and 4th Streets be placed on
a two hour parking ,basis, be re-
ferred to the Chief of Police for in-
vestigation and report and to em•
body in the investgiation and re•
port the territory between 1st to
3rd Streets on Bluff.
That the petition of the Dubuque
Safety Council requesting the mov-
342 Special Session, July 18th, 1949
ing of the West Dubuque Bus Stop,
west bound be moved to the North
side of Eighth Avenue just West
of Main Street from its "present lo•
cation on the North aids of Eighth
Avenue just East of Main Streit.
That the petition of the Thrifty
Food Market and c+hers, request-
ing that two hour parking restric-
tions be placed on Whits Street
from East 10th to East 12th Street
with the exceptions of Sundays and
Holidays, be referred to the Chief
of Police for investigation and re•
port.
I find that the vehicles being
parked in these areas are used for
the most part for the convenience
of the individual for transportation
to and from work, with about a
third of the space being used for
day and night parking purposes,
and not to any great extent by the
people living in these residences.
It is my recommendation that
the area on Bluff Street between
1st Street to 4th Street be restrict-
ed to two hour parking between
the hours of 9:00 A. M. to 6:00 P.M.
Sundays and Holidays excepted.
In the case of the petition of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles J. Scharff I find
that there are ten residences on
the East side of Bluff Street be•
tween 3rd and 4th Streets. Some
of these buildings house a number
of roomers, however there were 17
signers to the petition living on
the East side of Bluff Street. On
the West side of Bluff Street there
are 9 residences, also some used
for roomers, signed by 14 petition-
ers. There is an alley in the rear
of the buildings on the East side
of Bluff Street, however in the al-
ley there mostly garages solid in
the rear making alley deliveries
most impractical and in some in-
stances impossible. I find that there
are approximately 23 parking
spaces available. Five cars used
spaces all day, five spaces were
used at ]east 5 hours, six spaces
were used 3 to 4 hours, three were
used about two hours. In general
the block was parked solid full for
the mast part all day.
In the area on Bluff between 2nd
and 3rd Streets approximately 21
spaces are available for parking.
Three were used all day, six were
used over 5 hours, six were used 5
hours, six were used 4 hours, five
were used about 3 hours. Up to
the noon hour this block was in
general completely filled by parked
cars for long periods of time. Alley
conditions on the East side are a-
bout the same as in the proceeding
block.
In the area between 1st and 2nd
Street, 19 spaces were available,
with 7 spaces being used .at the
maximum time.
In the case of the petition of the
Dubuque Safety Council regarding
the removal of the Bus Stop, it is
my recommendation that the West
bound Bus Stop be moved from
its present location on the North
side of Eighth Avenue just East
of Main to the North side of Eighth
Avenue just West of Main Street,
and that parking meters be placed
in the vacated bus stop.
In the case of the petition of
the Thrifty Food Market and others
[ find that the area between East
10th Street and East 12th Street
on White Street is being used
throught the day ,by long time
porkers, to the exclusion of any one
who' might have a use for curb
parking. This parking too is being
done by persons who are employed
and use their cars for the purpose
of personal transportation.
It is my recommendation the
parking be restricted to two hours
on White Street from East 10th
Street to East 12th Street, from
9:00 A. M, to 6:00 P. M., Sundays
and Holidays excepted.
Respectfully yours,
Jos. H. Strub,
Chief of Police
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of Chief
of Police Strub be approved and
the proper proceedings ordered pre-
pared. Seconded by Councilman
Van Duelman. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Yeas -Mayor Wharton, Council-
men Russo, Thompson, Van P.uel•
man, Welu.
Nays -None.
Special Session, July 18th, 1949 343
July 14, 1949
Honorable Mayor and
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
In response to many complaints
by residents in the area on Locust
Street between West 12th and Lor•
as Boulevard, relative to long time
porkers rendering unavailability to
their properties, I have made an
investigation of this area and here-
with report my findings and re-
commendation.
This area is just outside of the
present restricted area, and as a
result thereof the parking spaces
are ,being used exclusively by all
day and all night parking to the
complete exclusion of the occu•
pants or owners of the property
contiguous to this area.
Chief complaints are about de•
liveries being made to these resi-
dences, which are more numerous
than is the ordinary, due to the
fact that much of this property is
used for tourist roams and regular
roomers. Locust Street is at pres-
ent used by four highways; Nos.
3, 61, 151 and 52: The condition in
general apart from denying the
owners and occupants access to
their homes and properties, be•
cause of unrestricted parking is
conducive to double parking by per•
sons making deliveries, which
makes for a very hazardous con-
dition on a street used by four
main highways leading through the
city. Restricted parkiug in this area
would relaave the congestion.
It is my recommendation that
parking be restricted to two hour
parking on Locust Street from
West 12th Street to Loras Boule•
vard, between the hours of 9:00
A. M. and 6:00 P. M. Sundays and
Holidays excepted.
Respectfully yours,
Jos. H. Strub,
Chief of Police
Councilman Welu moved that
the recommendation of Chief of
Police Strub be approved and the
proper proceedings ordered pre•
pared. Seconded by Councilman
Thompson. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas -Mayor Wharton, Council-
men Russo, Thompson, Van Duel•
man, We1u.
Nays -None.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim Flora
Harkett, submitted to me for in•
vestigation and report, on May 7,
11949, claimant, while walking on
the sidewalk on the west side of
Hill Street between Caledonia
Place and West Fifth Street, trip-
ped on the cement where one
block of cement was raised about
an inch and a half higher all the
way across, falling to the sidewalk
at which time she sustained a
fractured wrist, bump on Irer fore-
head, black eyes and nervous shock
requiring her to go to the hospital
and remain in the hospital until
June 23, 1949. I went to the place
of the accident and observed the
condition and find that the con•
dition is as she claims. This side-
walk is in a prominent place and
should be taken care of. Miss Har•
kett has agreed to settle for her
actual expenses which are hospital
bill-$304.85, doctor bill - $65.00,
and city ambulance-$4.00 -total
$373.85.
I recommend that her claim be
allowed in the sum of b373.85, that
a warrant .be issued payable to her
order and delivered to her upon
delivery to the City of a release
properly executed by her.
Yours truly,
John J. Kintzinger
City Solicitor
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of City
Solicitor Kintzinger be approved
and the City Auditor instructed to
draw a warrant in the amount of
$373.85 in favor of Flora Harkett,
as settlement in full of her claim,
and that said warrant be delivered
upon receipt by the City of Du-
buque of a properly executed re-
lease. Seconded by Councilman
Welu. Carried by the Following
vote:
Yeas -Mayor Wharton, Council-

man, Welu.

July t6, 1949
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
At the meeting of July 5, 1949
the petition of Louis Germain and
other residents of South Locust
Streot asking the Gity Council to
close the Gem Roller Rink at 10
P. M., to have an officer stationed
there when the Rink is open, to
rid the area of signs and billboards
that might endanger the lives of
children, was referred to the City
Manager and Chief of Police to
confer with the management of the
roller rink and to discuss the petU
tions and objections filed with the
Council.
We have met with the owners
and operators of the Gem Roller
Rink and Gem Drive-In Restaurant.
A very full and complete discus-
sion was had ou alt matters pertin-
ent to the complaints raised to the
City Council, The owners of the
enterprise indicated their willing-
ness to comply with auy and all
reasonable suggestions and meth-
ods for proper operation and tc min-
imize the reason of any legitimate
complaints. They have further a•
greed to have a special officer on
duty one hour later than formerly,
to install additional lighting on the
east and southerly side of their
building, to attempt to quiet all
loud and unseemly conduct at the
closing of the skating periods, and
to cooperate fully with the Police
Department,
It is our feeling that in view of
the above, the conditions com•
plained of are being remedied.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. Rhomberg

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The contract for the collection
and disposal of garbage and dead
animals made by Thomas J. Ryder
and Margaret McGloughlin with
the city will expire on October 2,
1949. In order to provide for the
orderly continuity of this vital
municipal function it is necessary
that it be determined whether
bidders will submit proposals on
a reasonable basis. If a contract
cannot be entered into fora rea-
sonable amount, the only alterna•
five for the municipality is to
provide for garbage collection and
disposal with its own forces,
I recommend that the City Ceun-
cil cause the advertising for bids
for the collection and disposal of
garbage and dead animals and that
sealed bids be received until
August 1, 1949. An appropriate
notice far the receipt of such bids
is hereto attached.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A, Rhomberg,

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
In accordance with the provision
of law, as City Manager, I have
prepared an annual budget for the
I fiscal year beginning April 1, 1950
and ending March 31, 1951 based
upon the estimated income and
expenses of the various depart-
ments of the City of Dubuque.
These departmental estimates
show the appropriations for each
function for the preceding year
(1949-50) and also the amount for
the ensuing year (1950-51).
The proposed budget calls for a
millage rate of 24,585 mills. In
the corresponding tax proceedings
of July last year the millage rate
was sot at 25.984 mills, It is to be
noted that no levy for an Emer-
gency Tax is proposed this year.
The estimated taxable valuatign
of $42,756,094 is $2,884,430 greater
than that of the current year. This
results in a $53,262.00 greater
tax return at a lesser millage.
The budget has been filed with
the City Clerk and will .be publish-
ed as required by law in order
that a public hearing may be had
before final action is taken by
the Councih
Respectfully submitted,
A, A. Rhomberg,
City Manager.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the communication of City
Manager Rhomberg be received
and made a matter of record. Sec-
onded by Councilman Welu. Car-
ried by the following vote;
