October 29, 1948
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
The Dubuque Planning & Zoning
Commission respectfully submits
for your consideration a recent re-
port of Justin Hartzog on "Pro-
posed Kane Heights Development".
This shows a passible ultimate
2480 family neighbonc~od u p o n
which Mr. Hartzog recommends a
modest but determined start on a
hundred family or smaller section
at Kaufman and Kane .Sts. Natural•
ly this looks far into the future,
but presents a housing develop-
ment more or leas independent of
the rest of the city which would
tie in with Dubuque's industrial
district at the north of the city
with the minimum addition to the
traffic load on down-town arteries
and services.
In this connection the Planning
& Zoning Commission also pres-
ents to your honorable body Mr.
Hartzog's recommendation for the
extension of Grandview Ave, in a
direct route northerly through the
Senior High School grounds to the
proposed Kane Heights Develop-
ment. This plan would seem to
meet all reasonable objections
raised by the School authorities,
The aerophotograph attached to
the Kane Heights Development re•
port makes obvious to all the
vital importance of the direct rout-
ing of traffic, both normal and
emergency as provided in this pro•
posed Grandview Ave., extension.
For fire protection and other em-
ergency movements over the hills
to the north during hours of con-
gestion on down town streets,
this proposed highway is essential.
These two projects are the nat-
ural results of the growth of Du•
buque. Similar proposals are every
day affairs in expanding cities
everywhere,
Yours truly,
The Dubuque Planning & Zoning
Commission.
By ..............................Secretary
R. V. Mc KAY

Gentlemen:
With reference to the communica•
tion of one Helen C. Henninga in
regard to the construction of T
Hangars at the new Municipal
Airport which was referred to me
for investigation and report, I find
that the Eudget Law in the State
of Iowa was complied with and
that bids were received for the
erection of sixteen unit T Hangars
and that a report of the City
Manager was filed stating that on
the basis of the lowest bids re-
ceived it would make it impractic-
able for the city to rent space
for privately owned aircraft at
reasonable rates and that the bids
were rejected. Thereafter the City
Manager under the direction of
the City Council proceeded to erect
the hangers.
It is provided by the 1940 Code
of Iowa as follows:
"330.2 Powers. Cities and towns
shall have the right to acquire,
establish, improve, maintain and
operate airports, either within or
without their corporate limits, and
either within or without the ter-
ritorial limits of this state."
"330.0 Improvements. Any s u c h
city or town may erect on any
land so acquired, or owned by it,
such buildings and equipment, and
make such improvements as may
be necessary for the purpose of
adapting such property to the use
of aerial traffic."

College asking for the vacation of

At the session of the City Coun-

requested to advise you on the
advisability of commencing con•
atruction of the sewage disposal
plant for the city and of the ways
and means of financing such a pro-
ject. As you know, there are com-
plete plans and specifications on
hand for a sewage disposal plant,
The necessary intercepting sewers
and pumping lift plants to care
for the sewage along East Fourth
Street and from the Dubuque Pack•
ing Plant and the areas adjacent
thereto. I am advised by the con•
salting engineering firm of Con-
soer, Townsend and Associates,
who prepared the plans, that the
estimate of the cost of this work
at present day prices, is approxi•
mately $1,750,000.00.

Gentlemen:
At the session of the City Coun-

tion of Wilfred E. Datisman and
others requesting installation oY a

Apple and Oak Streets was referr-

grounds.
The Council having viewed the
premises decided to grant the re-
quest. Irecommend that the de-
cision of the Council be confirmed.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. RHOMBERG,
City Manager.
Councilman Wharton moved that
the recommendation of City Man•
ager Rhomberg be approved. Sec-
It is possible to finance the con-
struction of such sewage works by
the issuance of either general obli-
gation bonds or by so-called rev-
enue bonds. The retirement o f
these bonds, together with the
maintenance and operation costs
of the sewage works, can be accom•
plished either by direct real estate
tax levies in the case of general
obligation bonds or by the collec-
tion of sewage service fees in the
case of revenue bonds. The latter
method, that of the collection of
sewage service tees, usually as a
percentage of the water bill, is the
more common and prevails in most
places. It would be the method
that I would recommend for your
consideration. The current Nation-
al Stream Polution Bill has a
provision wherein the Federal
Government will loan the munici•
polity a maximum of $250,000.00
a.'
Regular Session, November Ist, 1948 453
at a 2 percent interest rate. This
Federally guaranteed loan can be
made subordinate to any other fin-
ancing.
There is at the present no man•
date upon the City oY Dubuque to
treat its sewage. The trend in this
direction over the past several ses-
sions of Congress indicates that
more and better legislation may be
in the offing. After a full and com•
plete discussion of this subject
with the consulting engineers, I
recommend that the City Council
defer action on the construction
of the sewage disposal plant until
after the next session of the Na-
tional Congress.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
As you know the Water Depart-
ment of the City of Dubuque has
on hand plans and specifications
for the softening oY the municipal
water supply. There has been an
increasing amount of interest in
the development of this project
and there can be little question
but that the public advantages and
conveniences of soft water would
be of great benefit to the citizens.
The latest estimate of the cost
based on present day prices is
$560,000.00.
It appears that the City of Du-
buque would be able to issue rev-
enue bonds for possibly a 2 1.4 per-
cent interest rate or at 2 1.2 per-
cent at the most. The retirement of
these bands together with the
maintenance and operation costs
of the water softening plant, would
be wholly from Water Department
revenues. The present water rates
would of necessity have to be in•
creased to provide the additional
revenues.
I recommend that the City Coun-
cil institute proceedings for the
construction of a water softening
plant during the forthcoming year.

Dubuque, Iowa,
November 15, 1948
To the Honorable Maycr
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
We have received communica-
tion of November 8, 1948, from
City Manager A. A. Rhomberg ad-
vising us of your request that we
outline to you in writing our plans
for the correction of a nuisance
caused by dust particles in the
atmosphere in the vicinity of 972
and 974 White Street, some of
which are presumed to have escape
from our woodworking operations.
It is our sincere desire to do
everything reasonable to prevent
the escape of these dust particles.
Speaking broadly, we believe our
relations with the community in
which we live are very important,
and it is our perpetual desire to
improve them. Speaking specifical-
ly we desire to maintain the best
possible relations with our near
neighbors and if we make dust
which bothers them, we are dis-
pleased.
Our woodworking machines pro•
duce Wood Waste which is con-
veyed away trom the machines by
means of air. It is then necessary
to separate the wood particles from
the air so that the wood may be
disposed of, and it is in this separa-
tion process that we are not com-
464 Special Session, November 22nd, 1948
pletely successful. Many men have
worked years trying to adequately
solve this problem.
It is fortunate that the dust
particles in the air are not a haz-
ard to health, and the Iowa State
Department of Health, we are sure,
will corroborate this. But if they
escape even in very small quanti-
ties, they do create some nuisance.
At the present time we are doing
two specific things to reduce the
dust in the air:
1. We are installing. an entirely
new dust collecting system on one
of our sanding machines which pro-
duces alarge proportion of our fine
dust particles. This new collector
is reputed to be highly efficient in
dust collecting, and may encourage
us to continue such a program in
other areas.
2. In connection with our new
power plant, we are buying many
new Cyclone Dust Collectors, relo-
cating and repiping all of our Cy-
clone Dust Collectors, and giving
our Wood Waste handling system
a complete overhauling. Where pos•
sible in this new system we will
move the Wood Waste by mechani-
cal conveyers rather than by air,
and this will also help.
On items 1 and 2 above, we are
spending many thousands of dol-
lars and we are certain that a con-
siderable improvement will be
made.
We are sorry we cannot advise
you that we are certain all dust
particles will be eliminated, but we
do hope the very extensive efforts
we are making on this problem will
convince you of our desire to im-
prove the condition, and that you
and any affected residents of the
community may be satisfied.
If you desire, we will be happy to
appear before your honorable body
personally, or we will be happy to
discuss this with City Manager
Rhomberg.
Very truly yours,

To the Honorable Mayor

Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
We have received a letter from
the city manager dated November
8 instigated by the complaint of
Mr. Carl Schmidt, requesting that
we advise you in writing of our
plan for the correction of the saw-
dust condition which was brought
on said complaint.
We have for some time contem•
plated the revamping of our collec-
tor system, but action in this re•
sped has been delayed pending the
crystallization of plans for some de•
partmental relocations and perhaps
some building expansion. These
plans should be complete within
the next few months.
Since this is a rather involved
problem, we would welcome the
opportunity oY discussing the mat-
ter in more detail with the council
or with a committee which it might
appoint.
Yours very truly,

Honorable Mayor and Members of

City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claim of
Ed. Alber far damages in the sum
of $18.29, upon investigation it ap-
pears that on Sunday, October 3rd,
1948, Ed Aiber was west-bound on
Vernon Street approaching Glen
Oak Street and that his car in
turning to the side of the road to
pass another car straddled a water
shutoff pipe which pipe extended
about five or six inches above
the surface of the ground, causing
damages to his oil pan. These dam-
ages were taken care of at t h e
Feldman Motor Co. and amounted
to $18.29. I recommend that his
claim be paid in the sum of $18.29
and that a warrant be issued pay-
able to his order for that amount
and delivered to him upon delivery
to the City of a release properly
executed by him.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER

Gentlemen:
Referring to the attached peti-
tion of Rose Carolan asking re-
zoning of the block between 24th
and 25th Streets on Washington
Street to the alley Local Business
classification, the Planning & Zon-
ing Commission finds; (1) that
this area is already adequately
served with Local Business facili-
ties, and the public interests would
best be served by preserving the
present zoning; (2) that other uses
allowed in a local Business dis•
trict would be highly objection-
able adjacent to a public play-
ground such as Comiskey Field;
(3) one of the objects of a Local
Business District is to detach
stores from residential areas, not
to make them a part of same.
Therefore, the Planning & Zon-
ing Commission respectfully rec•
ommends denial of the petition.
Yours truly,

lege in the light of the suggestion
of your honorable body that the
proposed vacation of Helena Place
begin 100 feet west of the west
property line on Henion St. and
extend to its west terminus, and
providing an adequate entrance to
Loras grounds is maintained west

Gentlemen:
Replying to the request of your
honorable body dated November 1,
1948 "that the Planning & Zoning
Commission suggest and recom-
mend the immediate steps to be
taken upon the proposal to extend
Grandview Ave. in a direct route
northerly through the Senior High
School grounds to the proposed
Kane Heights Development", said
Planning & Zoning Commission re-
spectfully recommends as follows:
(1) That the proposed extension
of Grandview Ave. northerly over
Audubon Street through the Sen-
ior High Schoo] grounds to the
Kane Heights Development, a s
shown in Mr. Hartzog's latest plan
be adopted as an amendment to
the Master Plan.
(2) That a survey be made to
establish the exact location of the
proposed highway from Grandview
Ave. to the Kane Heights Develop-
ment.
(3) That steps be taken to im•
element construction of the pro-
posed direct highway from Audu-
bon St. to Kaufman Ave. in the
general public interest, since this
new route will relieve north-south
highway traffic on downtown
streets at less cost and fewer en-
gineering difficulties than by any
other means, and simplify the fire
and police protection of the hill
district at the same time.

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With reference to the action en-
titled Clarence Bowen and Bessie
Bowen, Plaintiffs vs. The City of
Dubuque, now pending in the Dis-
trict Court of Dubuque County, Ia.,
in which Plaintiffs claim $0,000.00
for damages swstained on or about
September 4, 1947, Plaintiffs claim
that the sewer main overflowed in-
to their home discharging human
waste, grease and other sewage
including a large quantity of water
onto Plaintiffs premises including
the first floor and basement there-
of, damaging Plaintiffs' premises
and their household furniture and
fixtures located therein. Plaintiffs
further plead that this sewer had
overflowed before that time and
that notice thereof had been given
to the City and that the condition
had not been remedied. I am of
the opinion that if this action were
tried, it would be submitted to the
jury and it would be for them to
determine whether or not negli-
gence existed and the amount of
damages.
I have had a number of con-
ferences with Plaintiffs' Attorneys
and they have agreed to accept
$1,500.00 in full settlement of their
law suit in regard to this matter.
~i~irLi
50o Special Session, November 29th, 1948
I recommend that said action be
settled by paying Plaintiffs $1,500.-
00 and that a warrant be issued
therefore payable to Gilloon, Nel-
son and Gilloon; Attorneys for the
Plaintiffs and that said warrant be
delivered upon delivery to the City
of a release properly executed by
Plaintiffs and upon dismissal of
the action now pending in t h e
District Caurt of Dubuque County,
Iowa.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. KINTZINGER
City Solicitor.
Councilman Murphy moved that
the recommendation of City So•
licitor Kintzinger be approved and
the City Auditor instructed to draw
awaranj,intheamountof $1,500.00
in favor of Gilloon, Nelson and
Gilloon, Attorneys for Plaintiffs
and that said warrant be delivered
upon receipt by the City of
Dubuque of a properly executed
release and upon dismissal of the
action now pending in the District
Court of Dubuque County, Iowa.

With reference to the claim of
Mrs. Kenneth Lehnhardt for dam-

ing to remove said poison ivy, I

payment of any damages as
claimed.

claim be denied.

JOHN J. KINTZINGER

Solicitor Kintzinger be approved.
