July 18, 1947
To the Honorable Mayor, City
Council, and City Manager of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen: The City of Dubuque
and the City W~~ater Department
during the 1920's and early 1930's
succeeded in pw•chasing all the
property east of the Chicago, Mil-
waukee, St. Paul & Pacific railroad
tracks to the Mississippi River
from Hawthorne to Sumner Streets
for the expansion of the water
works plant in future years.
About 1935 the Dock Board pur-
chased an electric driven dredging
boat and were very anxious bo op-
erate same, As they were only a1-
lowed to fill city owned property
and as this was the only spot avail-
able to be Pilled at the time, they
agreed to sand fill the city property
east of the pumpillg station to the
present riprap.
The City of Dubuque Recreation
Department was allowed about phis
same time to construct a swimming
pool at a river elevation of 19 feet
on the Water Works property be-
cause it was the only available
piece of city ground, according to
W.P.A, engineers that was suitable
for constructing a swimming pool,
Last year the Navy was leased
an .additional piece of our property
for a. N.R.O.T.C. building, This was
the only site ou the Mississippi
River which they would accept.
The swimming pool and the Navy
building occupy over one-half of
the property we had acquired for
our expansion, We .are now blcoked
on the nol°th and will have to cal7y
all connecting mains through the
swimming pool property if we de-
cide to build settling basins east
of the plant.
Two years ago when we asked
the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion to approve the plans sand speci•
fications for a. new building to
house the equipment at Na, 8 Well,
which is located 326 feet an an
easterly direction fhom the pool,
they objected to us building a 10
foot x 16 foot fire proof brick btald-
ing which they considered unsight-
ly, We coopera ed and installed a
submersible pumping unit which
only required us to build a concrete
pit.
Within the past month, the Dock
Commission has allowed Mr. M. P.
Gauer, 1802 Lincoln Ave., to build
a refreshment stand without aper-
llllt ft•om the Bllllding IllspeCtor OIl
146 lineal feet of niprap. The build-
ing is 16 foot x 26 foot and carries
a rental fee of only $3.12 per year.
This lease also allows Mr, Gauer
to construct a. gasoline tack and
platform which is north of the re-
freshment stand fora $1.42 yearly
rental. This definitely creates a fira
menace and should not be allowed
to be built under any consideration,
It is on City property which is nor-
m~ally lnaintaiued by the Water De-
partment and is within ten feet of
the 12" waste sewer which h'as al-
ready beeal constructed to discharge
the lime sledge from the new pro-
posed softening plant into the
Mississippi River,
The Board of Dock Conunission-
ers also have agreed to lease the
balance of the Eagle Point river
front fo~otag~e to Mr. ~ Gauer, fr~onl
the Atkinson property to the upper
high bridge, excepting opposite rho.
private property. The minimum
rectal tro be 50% of each minimum
rental charge, The minimum rental
charge is bo be 50c per lin, foot
for width of pt^operty occupied by
~..

S17ecial Session, July 21st, 1947 185
each float or boat, and the mini-
mum rental for business or commer-
cial use to be higher. Permission
is not granted to Mr, Gauer to
lease any shore area to others. This
also includes boat and float space
along the City property in Lalce
Peosta. Also exempted .is the space
to be used by the Naval Reserve
unit,
The provisions of this lease which
became effective July 16th, 1947, is
for one year with option to renew
each year provided the terms of
the lease are fully met by Mr.
Gauer, This lease gives Mr. Gauer
the right to lease property where
four of the City of Dubuque sewers
enter the Mississippi River, namely,
the above mentioned waste water
line from our plant, a sanitary
sewer ft°om the swinnning pool, the
wash water line from the swim-
ming pool and the Hawthorne
Street storm water sewer,
The Dubuque Water Company
built on the shores of the Missis-
sippi River in about 1887 and 1888
and have occupied this location
since that time for the past 6i)
years and have also had acoess bo
the river at all times, In my per-
sonal opinion it seems to lne them
should have been same pl°ovisson
giving the City of Dubuque 'and the
City Water Department certain
rights along the river front which
they border. I am in favor of hav
ing boating and boat docks to take
rider°s on the beautiful Mississippi
but I see na reason why the Docl~
Board can lease ground to build a
small wooden building and plat-
fm~ms on the shores oP the Missts•
sippi when we were requested not
to construct a brick fireproof build-
ing within 50 feet of the same lo-
cation,
I would like to be advised by the.
Mayor, City Council and City Man-
ager, just what rights and privi-
leges lve have at the Eagle Point
water front. We propose to- curb
and park this area east of the
slvinuuing pool as soon as we can
obtain the necessary labor which
will be when we catch up on our
lwater main extensions and fmprowe-
ments. We parked the swimming
pool with Water Works Funds and
if it had not been for the war, we
would have completed this improve-
mellt,
In closing I want to go on retard
as objecting to the infringement
made on Water Works property at
Eagle Point, I hope that your Hon-
orable Body will take under advise-
ment the necessity for retaining
this property and allow our depart-
ment to lease the Eagle Point water
front adjacent to our property at
50c per lineal foot per year, It is
not our intention to disallow boat
landings or docks at this location
but we do disapprove of the build-
ing or construction of frame build-
ings and gasoline tanks on our
property, We must abide by all the
rules and regulations laid. down
by the National Board of Fire Un-
derwriters and we are demented
for anything that is constructed
within 250 feet adjoining our prop-
erty.

quote to meet the'actual and neces-
sary expenses which must be paid
from said funds and any extraordin-
ary or unforseen expense which
may arise during the ensuing year;

cil of the City of Dubuque, Dubuque
County, Iowa, that the State Comp-
troller be and •is hereby petitioned
for approval to levy an emergency
tax for the year 1947, in the sum

said tax to be used as set out be-
low.
The Consolidated Fund is to be
benefited by the transfer of $27,-

fect which may further be in-
creased by any extraordinary or
unforseen circumstances which may
arise during the year 1948-49.

Honorable Mjayor and Members
of the City Council, Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen: In reference to the
claim of Mrs. Anmis Shaw for $2,000
submitted to me for investigation
and report. From my investigation
it appears that on March l0, 1947,
about 2:15 P, M, claimant whila
walking on the unmarked crosswalk
between the Northwest and South-
west corners of the intersection of
Arlington and Highba~nd Streets
stepped upon a rough, uneven lay
er of cinders upon the crosswalk,
causing her to fall and receive ser=
ions injuries to her left leg, One of
the cinders became imbedded near
the knee and was removed by the
doctor, That she incurred medical,
nursing and surgical expenses and
otter expenses including loss of
time from her work, That total
amount of her actual damages is
smnewlat over $600.00,
From all of the circumstances,
the placing of the cinders on the
street and the size thereof, I am
of the opinion that the place where
she fell was unsafe and dangerous
and that there is a liability upon
the part of the City. After consulta-
tion with her Attorneys, they have
agreed to accept $550.00 in fill pay
meat of her claim,
I recommend that ter claim be
all~otived in the sum of $660.00 and
that a warrant be issued payable
to Kenline, Roedell, Hoffmann &
Reynolds, Attorneys for Mrs, Anms
Shaw and delivered upon delivery
to the City of a release properly
executed by the claimant,
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER
Councilman Wharton moved that
the recommendation of City Solici•
for Kintzinger be approved and
the City Auditor instructed to draw
a~ warrant iu the amount of $550.00
in favor of Kenline, Roedell, Hoff-
mann & Reynolds, Attorneys for
Mrs. Annie Shaw, as settlement n
full of her claim, and that said
warrant be delivered upon receipt.
