May 16, 1947
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen;
Since the parking meters have
been installed in the business dis-
trict and new parking regulations
put into effect surrounding the con-
gested business area a hazardous
condition has arisen in connection
with parking cars on west 5th
Street }vest of Bluff Street. Auto-
mobiles are being parked on both
sides of this narrow thoroughfare
at the bottom of a very steep hill
which involves sharp curves near
the foot of the descent. In the in-
terest of public safety I recommend
that parking be prohibited on the
southerly side of West 5th Street
from the west line of Bluff Street
to a paint opposite the west line of
Lot 12 of Corell's Dubuque and that
parking be prohibited on the north-
erly side of West 5th Street begin-
nng~ at a point 196 feet west of the
west line of Bluff Street and ex-
tending thence, westerly to the
west line of Lot 12 of Correll's
Dubuque.
I further recommend that a two
hour parking limitation between the
hour's of 5:00 A.M, to 6:00 P.M.,
Sundays and holidays excepted, be
adopted for the northerly side of
Weat 5th Street from the west line
of Bluff Street westerly 196 feet.
The adoption of these suggested
amendments to the parking ordi-
nace will eliminate a potential
source of danger to life, limb and
property,
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph H. Strub
Chief of Police.
Councilman Wharton moved that
the recommendations of Ghief of
Police Strub be approved and that
proper amendments to the Traffic

With reference to the claim of

from one to two inches, that she
tripped on this drop, fell to the
118 Special Session, May 16th,1947
sidewalk and sustained a broken
nose, broken eye glasses and other
injuries, I atn of the opinion that
there is a liability. She has agreed
to settle for the actual amount of
her expenses which are as follows:
Finley Hospital ..................$20.00

Dr, Thorson ........................ 10,50
Dr. Irwinn ......................... 5.00

I recommend that a warrent be
issued payable to her order for
$70.29 and the same be delivered to
her upon delivery to the City of a
release properly executed by her.
Fours truly,
John J. Kintzinger.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council

Gentlemen;
With reference to the claim of
Anna Ackerer that was referred to
me for investigation, I find that on
March 1.4, 1947, about 7:30 in the
evening, while claimant was walk-
ing in a westerly direction on
the trorth side of 11th Street,
that she attempted to step up on
the west alley curb and stumbled
on the sidewalk which protrudes
about two inches above the curb,
fell forward striking her head on
the fire hydrant on the corner caus-
ing lter to receive injuries which
required hospital and surgical care
and attention-
This defect complained of is a
dangerous one. Her actual expenses
amount to $113.65. She claims dam-
ages for pain and suffering sand loss
of time. After conference with her
and her husband, she has agreed to
accept $200.00 in full payment of
her claim against the City.
I recommend that her clam be
alolwed in the sum of $200.00 and a
warrant be issued payable to her
order for $200.00 and delivered to
her upon delivery to the City of a
release properly executed by her.
Yours truly,
John J Kintzinger.
