August 6, 1951
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Listed below is the tabulation of
bids on a 1250 gallon Class A triple
pumping engine - received and
opened at 10 A.M., August 6, 1951.
1. Ward-LaFrance Truck
Corporation $17,270.00
2. Four Wheel Drive 17,793.00
3. Seagrove Corp. 21,202.50
4. Mack Manufacturing
Co. 20,899.08
Delivery dates are as follows:
1. 120 working days.
2. 150 working days.
3. 240 working days.
4. 185 working days.
The ceiling price on Seagrove
Ccrporation engine is $20,202.50
and if ordered, the ceiling price at
time of delivery will apply, but
in no case will the price exceed
the bid price. All other prices are
firm bids.
It is the recommendation of the
City Manager and Fire Chief that
the City Council approve the pur-
c!tase of the Four Wheel Drive
pumping engine from Stevens-
Jones Company of Des Moines.
While this bid is not the lowest
one recived, we feel the small
difference in price is more than
justified by getting a four wheel
drive truck which has proven
advantageous in our fire depart-
ment operations.
Respectfully submitted,
L. J. SCHILTZ,
City Manager.
THOS. C. HICKSON,
Chief of Fire Department.
Councilman Kolb moved that

Gentlemen:
With reference to attached peti-
tion of R. J. Gantenbein and
others requesting vacation of the
alley located first east of Concord
Street, running from Marion Street
to a point approximately 100 feet
to the south the Planning and
Zoning Commission respectfully
recommends the granting of the
petition, providing easements for
utilities over same are retained
by the City. That part of the same
alley running northward from the
north line of Coates Street was
vacated a few years ago, but for
reasons unknown to the Planning
and Zoning Commission the entire
length Coates to Marion Streets
was not included in the vacating
ordinance, The part of said alley
mentioned in this petition is a
narrow dead end piece which aside
from easement rights serves no
particular purpose to the public.
However, the Commission feels
that such property is of value to
the abutting owners, and the City
is entitled to proper recompense
for same.
Yours very truly,
Dubuque Planning and
Zoning Commission,
By Secretary
R. V. McKAY.
Councilman Austin moved that
the recommendation of the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission be

Gentlemen;
The Planning & Zoning Com-
mission has reveiwed the attached
petition of B. N. Graf and others
requesting vacation of that portion
of the alley first west of St. Am-
brose Street from Seminary Street
southward to the alley south of
Seminary Street and respectfully
recommends denial of the petition.
No argument is presented by
petitioners to indicate wherein the
public interest will be served by
favorable action. The alley in
question connects with another
alley at right angles to it, and
abandonment of any part of the
alley layout will cause unnecessary
complications.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
In line with the action of your
Honorable Body at a session of
City Council Feb. 23, 1951, when
you instructed, "That the Planning
and Zoning Commission be in-
structed to study the objections
raised to the proposed Tourist
Trailer Control Ordinance and also
that the Planning and Zoning
Commission be authorized to con-
sider a proposed Tourist Camp
and Trailer Control Ordinance in
the light of the objections presented
and submit recommendations and
report back to the City Council,"
the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission herewith presents its re-
port and recommendations in the
form of attached proposed amend-
ments to the Zoning Ordinance of
the City of Dubuque.
The Commission feels that these
changes will provide protection to
the health, safety and welfare of
the users of trailers as well as to
the general public, encourage the
establishment of improved facil-
ities to the benefit of the industry
as a whole. Treating this problem
by amendment to the Zoning Or-
dinance has decided advantages
insofar as existing facilities for
handling complaints through the
Board of Adjustments, supervision
and enforcement need not be
duplicated.
The Planning and Zoning Com-
mission respectfully recommends
the adoption of this proposed re-
vision of the Zoning Ordinance of
the City of Dubuque.
Yours truly,
Dubuque Planning and
Zoning Commission,
By Secretary
R. V. McKAY,

DUBUQUE, IOWA
July 31, 1951
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
In regard to the extension of city
water main in the Highland Park
Audition into Dubuque County,
Iowa, from the end of the existing
water main at Asbury Road and
Carter Road, the petitioners have
requested for extension of ap-
proximately 750 feet. We are mak-
ing the estimate on 900 feet west-
erly to a point opposite a house
owned by Mr. Leo Wagner, one
of the petitioners. As this main is
over 500 feet, it would be neces-
sary to install an 8" cast iron
pipe which would cost approx-
imately $5,869.06 or $6.52 per
running foot.
This is the probable location of
a future elevated water storage
tank. According to the Hardy-
Cross survey, this main should be
at least 12" in diameter. This main
would cost approximately $7,555,14
or $1,686.08 more. When the water
main was installed at Carter Road
to the new orphanage, the prop-
erty owners paid for an 8" main
and the Water Department as•
sumed the difference aad installed
a 12" line. We would recommend
that when this main is installed,
that the petitioners pay for an 8"
main and the City Water Depart-
ment stand the additional expense
and install a 12" feeder main.
Still to be completed on this
year's program is the Intermediate
System to the newly annexed area
in the Northwest end of the city,
together with the main extensions
on Brunswick Street, Marion Street,
1VIcLelland Street, Link Street, Levi
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue
to the new Irving School. This will
take at least seventeen weeks for
our main extension crew. We also
have maintenance work to be done
on the nine streets which are to
be surfaced by special assessment
to the property owners. We hope
to complete all these projects by
December 1st of this year.
There are other numerous ex-
i
~~ 4
~~
~'
Regular Session, August 6, 1951 455
tensions inside the city on this
year's program but these have had
to be deferred because we are
trying to give priority to the most
important extensions. After the
Intermediate System is completed,
it will be much easier for the
Water Department to keep in step
with the continual growth of our
city.
During the past three years, it
has been the policy of the City
Council that the Water Department
should not extend water mains
outside of the city until such a
time that water was made availa-
ble to all people living in the city.
When the above mentioned ex•
tensions are completed, we will
have fulfilled that promise.
We do have sufficient material
to make this extension but cannot
guarantee replacement on this pipe
for at least 250 days with no
guarantee as to the cost. However,
if they wish to construct this main
at their own expense under the
supervision and inspection of the
Water Department, it might be
possible for them to do so. This
main would have to be laid at a
minimum of 6 feet and maximum
of about 10 feet in depth. The
breakdown on the $5,869.06 is
$1,120.00 labor and supervision;
$400 for rent of trencher and back-
filler and $3,349.06 for materials
and other miscellaneous expenses.
We have had several other com-
munications for even larger ex-
tensions than the above mentioned
from people outside of the city
limits but we have refused to con-
sider them to date. However, if it
is the intention of the Council to
extend these services outside of
the city, we will try to cooperate
in every respect. We have ex-
pended approximately $30,000.00 in
main extensions alone since V-J
Day and will continue to expand
our distribution system wherever
it is possible to do so.
We do recommend that any ex-
tension made outside of the city
should be installed in the same
manner and according to the same
specifications of the American
Water Works Association and the
State Department of Health,
Respectfully submitted,
L, J. SCHILTZ,
City Manager.

On June 21, 1951, the claim of
Mrs. Anna Lange in the sum of
$100.00 for personal injuries sus-
tained by her when she fell on the
sidewalk near the corner of 10th
and Iowa Street, was referred to
this office for investigation and
report.
An investigation was made and
it appears that work was being
done in razing the buildings in
that area by B & G Excavators
under a contract with the City for
such work. There was considerable
debris scattered along the side•
walk and the same was not bar-
ricaded.
In view of this situation it ap-
pears that claimant is rightfully
entitled to her damages and the
same may be recouped from the
Excavators Bond.
It is therefore respectfully re-
commended that the claim for
$100.00 be allowed and the Auditor
be instructed to draw a warrant
vi favor of Mrs. Anna Lange for
$100.00 to be delivered to her upon
execution of a proper release.

The petition of A. C. Newburgh

Upon examination of the peti-

For your further information,
from estimates received, the cost

July 20th, 1951
Hon. Mayor and Members
of the City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
You have referred to me for my
opinion the application of the Rex
Club for a Class B Club permit.
Attached to the application is the
required report of the Chief of
Police, stating that this club was
charged and convicted of violation
of the City Beer Ordinance on two
counts, which judgment is now
pending an appeal to the District
Court, and further, that the club
is a proprietary club operated for
pecuniary profit and is owned by
its operator. A check of the Police
Court reveal that the conviction
referred to as actually that of one
Gus T. Henkels, who appears as
Secretary of the Rex Club but
that the violation occured on the
premises of the applicant.
In view of the fact that there is
an appeal pending and the permit
holder was not the defendant con-
victed, the statutory requirement
of revocation would not seem to
apply unless it be established that
Gus T. Henkels and the Rex Club
are une and the same person.
Section 29 of the Beer Ordinance,
No. 9-35, provides that the Council
may, if it so wishes, revoke a per-
mit whenever. it shall appear to
you that the Ordinance has been
violated by the permit holder or
that the Ordinance was violated by
another on the premises of the
permit holder. A conviction is not
essential to authorize the Council
to revoke under this optional pro-
vision, but only sufficient ground
to give the Council good cause to
believe that the violation has
occurred.
The question of revocation is
applicable here because grounds
for revocation would also be pro-
per grounds for a denial of an
application in the discretion of the
Council. Section 6 of the Beer Or-
dinance, No. 9~5, provides that
before a Class B Club permit can
be issued an application therefor
must be filed with the City Man-
alter, to which shall be attached a
copy of the Articles of Incorpora-
tion and a certified copy of a
Resolution adopted by a majority
of the bona fide members of the
460 Regular Session, August 6, 1951
club present at a regular or special
meeting called to consider the same
and approving the application for
the beer permit.
Section 124.17 of the 1950 Code
of Iowa requires that the applica-
tion also contain a statement that
such a Resolution was adopted.
Such statement is not included in
the application nor are the Articles
or certified copy of the resolution
attached. In view of the fact that
the statement regarding the reso-
lution is a statutory requirement it
is my opinion that the same can-
not be waived and the permit may
not be granted until this statement
is provided. The provision regard-
ing the Articles and the certified
copy of the resolution being re-
quired by the Ordinance only may,
iu my opinion, be waived in the
discretion of the Council.
It is therefore my conclusion
that the application in its present
form does not conform to the
Statute. When the defect noted is
cured it will then be within the
jurisdiction of the Council to de-
cide whether the permit should
be granted. If the Council decides
that no violation has occurred on
the premises and that the appli-
cant complies with all of the con-
ditions of the Ordinance, including
the condition that it is not a
proprietary club or operated for
profit and that the application was
approved by a majority of the
bona fide members thereof, who
were present at a regular or
special meeting called to consider
the same, and that the club has
not been formed merely for the
purpose of securing a beer permit,
then the Council must issue the
permit.
If the Council decides that a
violation has occurred on the prem-
ises it may grant or deny the per•
mit as it pleases. If the Council
decides that the applicant is a
proprietary club or that the ap•
plication was not approved by a
majority of the entire member-
ship, or that the club has been
formed merely for the purpose of
securing a beer permit, then it
must deny the permit.
The Council must base its de-
cision upon the present record or
upon any further showing that it
may reasonably require. If the
Council should decide that the ap-
plicant is operating for pecuniary
profit it should then further decide
whether there is sufficient evidence
or perjury to warrant referring the
matter to the County Attorney's
office.

The communication of Frank
Specht, 95 Valley Street, in regard
to the leasing of city owned prop-

I recommend that the City do
not lease this property to Mr.
Specht because the city has an
offer on file to purchase this prop-
erty in its entirety. Until such a
time as this offer is accepted or
rejected, I feel it would be unwise
to enter into any agreement to
lease a parcel of the property.

Gentlemen:
The communication of the Rock
Wool Home Insulation Company re-
questing information as to the
procedure for installing aluminum
awnings above entrances to busi-
ness establishments was referred to
the City Manager for action and
report.
I am attaching a report I re-
ceived from the Building Commis-
sioner which sets out the procedure
for an owner of property to peti-
tion the Council for the installation
of a fixed type awning. I do not
believe that this type of an awning
would add to the appearance and it
is doubtful whether this type of
awning would shade the window as
it is quite high and does not ex-
tend far enough out to deflect the
rays of~the sun.
I would hesitate to recommend
the approval of this type of an
awning without a request of the
~t
464 Regular Session, August 6, 1951
property owner and it would be
well to consider the revision of the
Building Code ordinance if this
type of an awning is to be approved
rather than have individual re-
quests submitted to the Council
for each installation.

Honorable Mayor
and City Council.
In regard to petition of John L.
Ludescher for parking regulations
in vincinity of 1900 Seminary
Street;
Although the area in question is
residential and school district the
problem is peculiar to this area
in that the area is usually com•
pletely filled by long term packers
completely utilizing the available
parking space.
The residents affected are ap-
parently in agreement that some
type of parking relief is necessary.
Therefore It Is Recommended,
that the north side of Seminary
Street be declared atwo-hour park-
ing zone in accordance with Sched•
ule N Article 16.5, from the north
east corner of Avoca Street and
Seminary Street to a point 600
feet east thereof.

At the present time the City
Water Department has suggested
work scheduled ahead so that no

In regard to the above petition

not be advisable to construct this
water main until such widening
takes place.
