August 1, 1949
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Relative to the petition of the
Dubuque Awning and Tent Compa-
ny for permission to erect a canvas
canopy at 222 West Seventh Street
supported at the building by an•
chors and supported at the curb
by iron posts, I recommend that
this petition be denied for the fol•
lowing reasons:
It would be an obstruction in the
Regular Session, Augtict 1st, 1949 411
public street by reason of the posts
that are used for support.
The canopy would require con•
slant maintenance in the winter
time to keep the snow off of it
and prevent water from melting
snow dripping on pedestrians.
The granting of this request
could establish a precedent and
could occasion the request for sev-
eral such uses.
The Building Code does not def-
initely cover this type of construc•
lion and therefore would not apply.
I have consulted with the petir
boner and City Solicitor in this
request.
Respectfully submitted,
Donald J. Bandy,
Building Commissioner.
Councilman Russo moved that
the recommendation of Building
Commissioner Bandy !be received
and made a matter of record. Sec-
onded by Councilman Welu. Carried

wish to report as follows.
Ordinance No. 72-A, -passed in
1921, printed in Council Record No.
51, page 120, provides, among other
things, as follows;
"Par 525-A, Vicious Dogs. Sec.
VII. Any dog shown to be vicious
or otherwise dangerous to the com-
munity, whether licensed or not,
is hereby declared to constitute a
nuisance, and may, if found running
at large, be taken up and held at
the pound for a period provided far
in Section Six hereof, and the own-
er of such dog, if known, shall be
notified of such impounding, and
upon payment of the penalty in
said section named, said dog may
be surrendered to such owner. In
case of emergency, however, such
vicious or dangerous animal may be
instantly killed by an officer or oth-
er person having reasonable cause
to fear injury to any human being
because of such dog. Evidence
showing that any dog has previous-
ly bitten any one without provoca-
tion, or habitually snaps at or at•
tacks persons, shall be presumptive
as to the vicious nature of such
animal.
"Par 526-A. Shall not Run at
Large. Sec. VIII, It shall be unlaw-
ful for any person, owning or har-
boring any dog, found tc be a nui-
sance as herein defined, to permit
such dog to run at large, that is to
say, such dog shall be kept securely
tied or otherwise under control, so
that persons lawfully on the public
street or highways or on the prem-
ises of the owner of said dog shall
be safe from attack. Provided that
any dog duly licensed may be per-
mitted to run at large, if he is
securely and safely muzzled while
thus at large."
Ordinance No. 4.1933, at page 79
of the Council Records of 1933 pro-
vides as follows:
"DOGS"
"1. A dog or bitch licensed to run
at large shall have the current li-
cense tag which has been issued
by the City Manager securely fas-
tened to its collar and any dog
not having such tag shall .be treated
as an unlicensed dog. An unlicensed
dog may be empounded in the City
Pond by an officer or person and
confined therein for a period of
forty-eight (4S) hours. If the ani-
mal is not claimed by its owner
within said time and the license
fee paid, together with a fee of
One Dollar for keeping the same,
it shall be killed. A dangerous or
vicious dog, whether licensed or
not, may be empounded and kept
for the period above stated and if
not claimed by the owner within
said time it shall be killed. In case
of emergency, however, and in
order to protect Life or Property,
such an animal may be instantly
killed by an officer or any other
person having cause to fear injury
from the same. The owner of any
dog or bitch shall not permit the
same to run at large and failure
to confine such animal upon the
premises shall subject the owner
to the penalty herein provided for."
" 2. DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE.
Dogs running at large shall mean
any dog or bitch which is not con-
fined upon the premises of the own-
er."
This is the law as passed .by
the City Councils of the City of
Dubuque during the past number
of years.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Melvyn B. Kurt for $60.00 damages
caused by the storm sewer flow~
[ng into the sanitary sewer and
emptying Into the basement oY
claimant, I find that this sewer has
been in this condition for some
years, that claimant has made com-
plaints to the City a number of
times and nothing has been done,
and that this is the sixth time the
sanitary sewer backed into his
basement causing the damages
complained of. That the damages
consist of labor in cleaning the
basement, damage to woodworking
tools, piano, furnace and other an
tides in the sum of $60.00. I think
the amount is reasonable, and I
recommend that a warrant be is-
sued payable to claimant's order
for $60.00, and that the same be
delivered to him upon delivery to
the City of a release properly exe•
cuted by him.
Yours truly,
John J. Kintzinger
City Solicitor
Councilman Welu moved that the
recommendation of City Solicitor
Kintzinger be approved and the
City Auditor instructed to draw a
warrant in the amount of $60.00 in
favor of Melvyn B, Kurt, as settle-
ment in full of his claim, and that
said warrant be delivered upon re-
ceipt by the City of Dubuque of a
properly executed release, Second-
ed ,by Councilman Russo. Carried

With reference to the "APPLICA•

find that the Application is in due

bearing on the present application.
An appeal is pending from said
conviction.

Gentlemen:
At the meeting of July 5th the

asking for relief from the parking
restrictions on lower Main and
Shields Streets was referred to me
for clarification of the wishes of
the petitioners.
I have contacted some of the
petitioners directly and others
through the Police Department. It
appears that this district, which is
principally a wholesale and ware-
house area, requires longer than
one hour parking period. Therefore,
I recommend that the one hour
parking limitation be changed to
two hours on Main and Shields
Streets from First Street to Jones
Street.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your instructions
sealed bids were received until
10:00 a.m. August S, 1949 for the
grading of Adair Street from Loras
Boulevard to Rosedale Avenue.
Four bids were received which
are shown on the attached tabula-
tion.
I recommend that the contract
for this work be awarded to the
Bill Curphy Company of Des Moin-
es, Iowa whose bid is the lowest
received, being 47.2 per cent be-
low the Engineer's estimate. The
Curphy Company submitted a certi-
fied check in the amount of $2000:
OO which was intended to cover
the storm .sewer work as well as
the grading work on Adair Street,
Inasmuch as his .bid was not low
on the storm sewer work, it is
possible to hold the certified
check as guarantee of his enter-
ing into a contract on the above
grading job.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. Rhomberg,
City Manager.
Councilman Thompson moved
that the recommendation of City
Manager Rhomberg be approved.

Director of Health
Health Department
Dubuque, Iowa
Dear Doctor:
Gn reinspecting the premises of
John Kass at 639 Disney Street
on August 3rd, 1949, I found very
little improvement.
The privy fault located there is
erecting quite an odor and Mr.
Kass has been instructed cs to the
requirements of an earth pit privy
on several occasions, but to date
he has ignored them.
There is no sanitary sewer avail-
able to the property and the loca-
tion is not adaptable to a septic
tank disposal system.
Therefore I have notified Mr.
Kass to build a sanitary privy as
outlined in the State Department
of Health publication entitled "The
Sanitary Privy".
Respectfully yours,
Allan J. Klein
Sanitary Inspector

August 3, 1949.
Honorable Mayor and
the City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
At a session of the City Counci
of the City of Dubuque, Iowa, hell
tugust 1, 1949, the following mo-
ion was adopted:
That the petition of James C.
Sealy and others, employees of
he Federal Government asking
7ouncil to rescind their action pre-
~aratory to closing Bluff Street
'rom First Street to Fourth St.
o all day parking, be referred to
;he Chief of Police for investiga-
tion and report.
A thorough and complete investi•
ration of thia situation was made
some time ago upon the receipt
of a petition of Mr, and Mrs. Chas.
Scharff and others, asking that
restriction be placed on this area.
Together with other conditiona
it was found that the curb parking
space was being used almost ex-
clusively by long time parking.
Between 1st and 2nd Streets there
are 19 parking spaces; between
2nd and 3rd Streets there are 21
parking spaces; and between 3rd
and 4th Streets there are 23 park-
ing spaces, making a total of 63
spaces. The petition of James C.
Healy and others indicates very
plainly that it is their wish to use
this space for all day parking to
the exclusion of any other person
who may have a use therefore.
My investigation discloses that a
large number of roomers live in
this area, together with the own-
ers and master tenants, all of
which are served in a business
way to a considerable extent. In
areas where curb parking t u r n
over is necessary, unrestricted
parking causes congestion making
it difficult for ordinary business
functions to .be carried on.
There are 103 signatures to this
petition, some of which live within
reasonable walking distance to
their place of employment; an-
other group does not own autc•
mobiles; and still another group
do not live within the limits of
the City oY Dubuque.
In considering restricted use of
the public streets of any congested
area in any city, it has been the
conclusion that priority first goes
to moving vehicles; second con-
sideration goes to vehicles used
in the handling of merchandise
and freight or in the transporta-
tion of passengers. In congested
Special Session, August 8th, 1949 445
areas long term curb parking
should be given the least consider-
ation. In short no one should be
permitted to use the curb park-
ing space to the exclusion of any
other person who may have a use
therefore, for a longer time than
will provide the greatest use to
the greatest number. A parked
vehicle is performing a less eco-
nomical service to its owner than
a moving vehicle. My investigation
discloses that unrestricted parking
in this area causes congestion, in
that delivery service must double
park, necessarily impeeding the
forward movement of vehicular
traffic which should be given first
consideration.
It is still my recommendation
that parking .be restricted to two
hours on Bluff Street between
West 1st and West 4th Streets,
between the hours of 9:00 a.m.
and 6:00 p.m. Sundays and Holi-
days excepted.
Respectfully submitted,
Jos. H, Strub
Chief of Police.
Councilman Van Duelman moved
that the recommendation of Chief
of Police Strub be approved. Sec-
onded by Councilman Thompson.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas -Mayor Wharton, Coun-
cilmen Thompson, Van Duelman,
Welu.
Nays -None.
Absent - Councihnan Russo.

As I understand, when the con•
tract was let, the assessment

would be three dollars a lineal
foot. The final assessment was
five dollars a foot.
Sincerely,

Aubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
It is my upderstanding that at
the time of the contract for the
Bradley St. sewer prpject, the cost
to property holders was to be
$3.00 per foot, plus $62.50 per ~Ii
ft. lot on the lifting station cost.
It now seems the ante has been
raised to $5.00 per front foot, and
I object feeling that the quoted
price at time of letting should
determine cost now.
Your consideration and action
will be appreciated.

To the Members of City Council
of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
Writer has just been advised of
the cost of the Bradley Street
sewer job.
No, 1 In view of the fact that the
Iowa Law read so as that we were
to be assessed $3.00 per lineal foot
for paving or sewer-this law being
in effect at time the jab was let
-I believe the present assessment
of $5.00 per ft. to be quite high, I
can well appreciate the law has
since been changed-but, in view
this contract was let under the old
law-believe it should apply in this
instance.
I therefore, wish to go on record,
as objecting to the assessment as
it now stands-
Yours truly,
Ed. TuTnquist

City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
I understand from a neighbor
that the cost to the property hold•
ers far the Bradley St. Sewer far
exceeds amount originally estimat-
ed.
At the time the project was act-
ed on I understood the maximum
charge per lineal foot was set by
law at $3.00. Today I have been
told that the proposed charge was
$5.00 with an additional charge of
approximately $62.50 per 25 toot to
cover the lift station.
As such an excess charge over
the maximum allowed, as stated by
the city attorney at the Council
Meeting, would be grossly unfair
to the property owners affected, I
trust my information is incorrect
and that your Honorable Body will
set an assessment in conformity
with the original statements made
by the City Attorney on this sub•
ject.
Truly yours,

Special Session, August 29th, x949 45i
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
I am the owner of certain real
estate on Bradley St. in this city,
against which you proposed to levy
certain special assessments for the
installation of sanitary sewer and
pumping station in, along and near
Bradley Street, I hereby protest
and object to the issuance of a
special assessment against my
property - of which you have a
record - for the construction of
said sewer and station and improve•
ments in the Bradley Street sewer
district for the following reasons:
1. The notice of the hearing on
the issuance of special assessments
against my property for this project
did not comply with the statutes
in that notice was published only
in one newspaper published in Du-
buque and not in two as is required
by section 391.53 of 1946 Code of
Iowa.
2. The proposed special assess-
ment as listed in the schedule now
on file in the office of the City
Clerk proposes to assess my prop-
erty for the sewer proper in excess
of $3.00 for each linear foot of said
sewer. Section 391.42 of the 1946
Code of Iowa was amended July 4,
1949. Hence, the $3.00 per linear
foot ]imitation applies and to the
extent that and special assessment
for said sewer improvement is in
excess of $3.00 it is illegal,. im-
proper and contrary to law and
hence not a lien on the property
owned by me.
3. No portion oP the cost of the
sewer proper is being charged or
assessed to adjacent property but
rather is being assessed in full a•
gainst abutting property. Section
391.42 requires that such adjacent
property be assessed "in proportion
to the benefit thereto, and accord-
ingly, the proposed assessment a-
gainst my property is excessive,
arbitrary and inequitable.
4. It is requested that these ob-
jections ,be made a matter of rec-
ord.

the construction oP a sewer, sewer
lift and force main in the sewer
district in which the above describ-
ed lots are embraced, upon the fol-
lowing grounds and for the follow-
ing reasons:
1. That saifl property receives i:o
special benefits .rom said sewer,
sever lift or force main a,nd said
proposed assessment is in excess
of any such benefits and contrary
to law;
2. That the proposed assessment
against each and all of said lots
exceeds twenty-five per cent of the
actual value of each and all of said
lots and is contrary to law;
3. That the City Council of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa is without
jurisdiction at this time to levy
4~8 Special Session, August 29th, 1949
any special assessment against the
above described property on ac-
count said sewer, sewer lift or
force main for the reason that it
has failed to give notice as required

of Iowa, which requires the Coun-
cil to give notice by two public~~
lions in each of two newspapers

lashed only in the Telegraph Herald

Objection to Sewer Assessment
TO: THE HONORABLE MEM-
BERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA
The undersigned, Frank A. Fluck-
iger, owner of the real estate des-
cribed as follows:
Lots 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26 and the
Southeasterly 5' of Lot 27 in Block

of Iowa, 1946.
(2) The amendment to said Sec•
lion 391.42, enacted .by the Fifty-
Third General Assembly of the
State of Iowa, effective July 4,

by the Council for the considera-
tion of the proposed resolution of
necessity was not published as re•
quired by Section 391.24, Code of

said sewer was not published as
required •by Section 391.53, Code

T0: The Honorable Members of
the City Council,
City of Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen:
We the undersigned, owners oP
Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Block 1,
Grandview Park Addition, City of
Dubuque, Iowa, and Lots lA, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 in Block 10,
Grandview Park Addition, City of
Dubuque, Iowa, hereby protest and
object to the issuance of a special
assessment against the aforesaid
described real estate because of
the construction of sanitary sewer,
pumping station and mains and
other improvements in connection
therewith in the Bradley Street
Sewer district for the fallowing
reasons:
1. The notice of the hearing on
the Resolution of Necessity for
said sewer improvement as re-
quired by Section 391.24 of the
1946 Code of Iowa is to be given
`by two publications in some news-
paper published in the city....". In
fact, the publication of the notice
of the hearing of said Resolution
of Necessity was published only
once on February 10, 1949 as is
shown and stated in the affidavit
of F. W. Woodward dated February
14, 1949, which affidavit is on file
in the office of the City Clerk,
City of Dubuque, Iowa. By virtue
of the failure to have given the
two publications as required by
Statute the entire proceedings are
void for the reason that the giving
of notice by statute is jurisdic-
tional.
2. The notice to be given of the
meeting for the issuance of special
assessments in connection with
said sewer improvement is set
forth in section 391.53 of the
194fi Code of Iowa, which section
provides that "After filing the plat
and schedule for said improve-
menu or sewers, or the report
of cost of ailing, oiling and gravel-
ing or shaling costs, the Council
shall give notice by two publica-
tions in each of two newspapers
published in the city, if there be
that number, otherwise in one,
and by handbills posted in con-
spicuous places along the line of
such street improvement ar sew-
er..." In fact, the notice of said
meeting was given twice in the
Telegraph Herald only, a news-
paper published in Dubuque, Iowa
and no other notice was given,
notwithstanding that there are two
newspapers published in the City
of Dubuque, Iowa. By virtue of
the failure to have given two no-
tices in each of two newspapers
published in Dubuque, Iowa, these
proceedings are void and the por-
posed special assessments are null
and void and of no effect as the
giving of notice is jurisdictional.
3. The proposed special assess-
ment as provided in the schedule
now on file in the office of the
City Clerk far said sewer improve-
ment contains the assessment of
property in excess of $3.00 of
linear feet for said sewer proper.
Section 391.42 as it existed at the
time of the adoption of the Resolu-
tion of Necessity for said improve-
ment (February 7, 1949, finally
approved February 28, 1949) and
at the time of the awarding of
the contract for said improvement
to Larson Construction Company
(March 20, 1949) provided that
the maximum assessment against
property abutting on such sewer
shall be $3.00 per linear foot of
sewer. The proposed assessment
as shown in the plat and schedule
an file in the office of the City
Clerk for this project contains a
linear foot assessment of $4.92
and to the extent that said assess-
ment or proposed assessment is in
excess of $3.00 per foot it is con•
trary to law and null and void and
of no force and effect. The repeal
of said $3.00 per linear foot of
sewer limitation by the 53rd Gen•
eral Assembly, effective July 4,
1949, has no application whatever
to the proposed levy or assess-
ment in view of the fact that the
Resolutions of Necessity and
n~ Special Session, August 29th, 1849
awarding of contract were prior
to July 4, 1949 and that actual
installation of the sewer improve-
ment was substantially completed
prior to July 4, 1949; and the Act
bf the 53rd General Assembly
(Chapter 169), in view oY the
terms thereof, cannot be given
retroactive effect,
4. Because the proposed assess-
ments are more than is authorized
by law in that the proposed assess-
ments are not in proportion Co
the special benefits conferred upon
the property by said improvement
and for the further reason that
such assessments are in excess of
25 Per cent of the actual value
of said lots at the time of the levy.
An arbitrary valuation has been
established upmi said lots in said
schedule of special assessments.
For example, the following sched•
ule shows the assessed values and
the proposed special assessments:

Lot 7, Block 10 ... ... 60.00 186.04
5. The special assessment pro-
posed for the sewer property is
assessed solely on property abut-
ting the improvement with no por•
lion thereof being assessed to
that said adjacent property will be
benefited by said sewer improve-
ment. Section 391.42 requires
that such adjacent property be
assessed "in proportion to the
benefit thereto" and accordingly,
said assessment for the sewer
property is excessive and unequit-
able.
6. That these objections shall
be made of record so that in the
event the District Court of Iowa
in and for Dubuque County re-
frains or restrains the City of Du-
buque from collecting the proposed
special assessment that these ob-
jections shall be proof that the
City of Dubuque, Iowa, through
its Mayor and Council, have been
duly notified.

smith, 609 Seminary Street, in
the City of Dubuque, Iowa. Thep
use a good grade of coal, known
as Indiana Flint Block. The Chief
Engineer is John D. Miller, assist-
ed by John Klecker and Clarence
Zimmer as firemen. Tae manage-
ment of this company is fully
cognizant of the complaints from
neighbors and have tried to reduce
the smoke and soot to a minimum.
They have used compositions that
are supposed to reduce smoke,
however they have found nothing
to take the place of goad fuel
and good firing methods. The y
have three boilers, two oY which
are fired at all times, using one ae
a reserve boiler.
I have personally made a num-
ber of observances of this situa-
tion and talked to persona living
on Heeb Street. Heeb Street rises
very steeply on the west side of
the Beatrice Creamery Company
and is the chief recipient of this
smoke and soot. Dense smoke is
emitted from this stack at such
times as the flues are blown. At
other times the smoke is fairly
light, but does smoke up t h e
residences, principally on Heeb St.
The stack is approximately at the
same level as the top of the high-
est house along Heeb Street.
Our present smoke ordinance
was adopted in 1919 and is quite
inadequate to cover this and simi•
lar situations. Ringe]mann's chart
is mentioned in the ordinance as
the device to be used in measur-
ing the density of smoke. I have
peen informed by the United
States Bureau of Standards that
this type of device was not fully
developed for this purpose and is
not so used. We have therefore an
antiquated and unuseable form of
measurement outlined For the en•
forcement of smoke nuisance.
Special Session, August 2gth, Ig49 479
I find that the smoke and soot
emitted from the stack oP the
Beatrice Creamery Company is not
dense enough for a sufficient
length of time to constitute a viola-
tion of our present ordinance. It is
my suggestion that the Council con-
sider the adoption of an up-to-date
ordinance for the control of smoke
and soot that would more adequate-
ly cover this and similar sources
of annoyances.
Respectfully submitted,
Jos. H. Strub,
Chief of Police.

the recommendation of Chief of

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council of Dubuque
Gentlemen:
Receipt is acknowledged of no-
tice from the City Clerk, dated
August 3rd, addressed to the Board
of Dock Commissioners, advising
that a petition filed by Phillip and
Ellas Mihalakis be referred to this
Commission far investigation and
report,
Please be advised that the Board
of Dock Commissioners considered
the statements contained in said
petition at a meeting called for
that specific purpose on August
16th and failed to see any reason
for amending or modifying our re-
quest that the City take proper and
suitable steps to acquire the prop-
erty on City Island now owned by
the petitioners.
Our request was based an a thor-
ough study of all factors involved,
and is a necessary step to carry
out only the original Master Plan
adopted by the City some years
ago, but also the recommendations
of a highly competent firm of engi-
neers engaged by the Dock Com•
mission to make a complete survey
and prepare a feasible and practical
plan for the development of the Is-
land area. This plan has the tenta•
tive approval of the U. S. District
Engineer and complete approval
necessary for participation on the
part of any government agency in
carrying out the Master Plan, or
i any modifications of same, will be
i withheld until the City owns all
the property.
It is, therefore imperative that
the City acquire the property and
become the sole. owner of the area
in order that development will not
be impeded .by ownership of any
portion of the area by private in-
terests.
This project is practical from ev-
ery standpoint of comrnuuity inter-
estsand welfare and will ultimately
make it possible for the City to
have available for new industries,
desirable sites that can be served
by water, rail, or truck transporta-
tion, and also a suitable shelter
harbor for pleasure boats, a facility
sorely needed.
The interests and welfare of the
~gz Special Session, August a9th, t~~}9
City are paramount to the interests
of any individual or group of indi-
viduals, and we, therefore, urge
your honorable body to proceed in
carrying ost our original request,
as approved by you on October 4,
1948.

HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS OF THE
CITY COUNCIL:
With reference to the claim of
Ruby Bideaux submitted to me for
investigation and report, on Febru•
ary 8, 1949, about 6:00 o'clock p.m.,
claimant was walking south on t}ye
east side of Spruce Street and at a
point near University Avenue her
feet went out from under her and
she fell to the sidewalk, sustaining
a fractured right hand, chipped~
bene in the right wrist and
spinal injuries, requiring her to se-
cure medical services and hospital
attention; the sidewalk was in a
dangerous condition and from some
information obtained it appears
that it was not cleaned for some
time before the injury. That claim-
ant was unable to work for a con•
siderable length of time and is still
taking treatments for the injuries
received. That an examination was
made of her by a doctor on behalf
of the City and from his report
her injuries are not good. After
several conferences with her attor•
ney she has agreed to settle this
case for $600.00. I recommend that
her claim be allowed in the sum of
$600.00, that a warrant be issued
payable to the order of Robert H.
Kintzinger, Attorney for Ruby Bid-
eaux, and delivered upon the de•
livery of a release properly execut•
ed by claimant.
Jahn J. Kintzinger

Councilman Van Duelman moved

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council

Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Mrs. Margaret Killeen submitted
Co me for investigation and report.
I talked with the claimant, went
to the scene of the accident. Claim-
ant, while walking on the sidewalk
toward her home tripped where a
cement sidewalk joins a brick side-
walk and fell,. sustaining injuries to
her right arm which required the
services of a physician and treat-
ments. Her cost was $21.50. She
has agreed to accept this sum in
full payment of her claim. I recom•
mend that her claim be allowed in
the amount of $21.50, and that a
warrant be issued payable to her
order for $21.50 and delivered to
her upon delivery to the City of a
release properly executed by her,
While at the scene of this ac-
cident, Iobserved in the 2900 block
on Washington Street three other
brick sidewalks joining cement
sidewalks, and at each place, the
cement sidewalk is higher than
the bricks. This condition should
be remedied and the dangerous
places removed.
Yours truly,
Jahn J, Kinkzinger
City Solicitor
Councilman Russo moved that
the recommendation of City Solici•
for Kintzinger be approved and the
