go through. I believe a 25 ft. con-
crete street with no curb or gutter
would be ideal.
I am writing this letter with the
hope that you will pass on my
feelings to the City Council mem•
hers.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,
Arthur Trausch, Jr.

To the Honorable Mayor

Gentlemen: The City Council re•
ferred to the City Manager and
City Solicitor the petition of
George Flanders and others for an
appropriation of city money to de-
fray the expenses of the annual
Memorial Day celebration held by
local veterans' organizations.
I have attached the opinion of
the City Solicitor relative to muni-
c i p a l corporations expending
money for this purpose. The only
authorization for this type of ex-
penditure is in Chapter 159, Section
10, of the Acts of the 54th General
Assembly. This Section authorizes
the city to make a levy in the muni-
cipal ,enterprises fund for the
adornment of any cemetery used
for burial purposes by the people
of the city.
It is the opinion of the City So-
licitor that the City may expend
funds not otherwise appropriated
in the Municipal Enterprises Fund
for this purpose.
Under the present appropriation
for the Municipal Enterprises Fund,
there is no provision made for
this type of an expenditure. I would
recommend that in preparing for
the fiscal year 1953, provision be
made for this expenditure.

number of complaints regarding
the operation of trucks through
the city and that they are using
streets other than the regularly
marked highway route.
If trucks continually use streets
that are not adequately construct-
ed for this type of traffic, the
streets will soon deteriorate and
have to be rebuilt.
In order that this condition can
be corrected, I would recommend
that an ordinance be prepared to
provide that motor carriers shall
follow the marked highways
through the city, and if they are
not proceeding through the city,
to follow the marked highways to
the intersection closest to their
destination. After such an ordi-

to direct the motor carriers to fol-
low these routes.

122 Regular Session, March 3, 1952
March 3, 1952.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The City Council de-
ferred action on a proposed city
ordinance to require the dating of
milk deliveries in the city of Du-
buque until the Health Department
made a further investigation.
The Milk Inspector met with rep-
resentatives of each dairy on Feb-
rua~v 13th and agreed on a policy
that would not create a financial
burden on any dairy supplying
milk to Dubuque.
The items agreed upon by .all
dairies are as follows:
1. All dairies are to either code
or date their products in a manner
that will assure the Health Depart-
ment that the consumer is amply
protected.
2. Constant supervision of de-
livery men to discontinue the poli-
cy of overstocking retail outlets.
3. If the product is coded, that
the code will be made available
to the Health Department and the
retail merchants.
4. To inform wholesale delivery
men that milk will be picked up
from retail stores no later than
the first delivery following the
elapse of the time limit for that
product,
It is the belief of the Health
Department that this agreement
will be satisfactory and that the
amendment to the Milk Ordinance
is not now essential in maintain-
ing of a high quality product.
I recommend that the Council
take no action on the proposed
amendment to the Milk Ordinances
in view of the satisfactory agree-
ment with all the dairies supplying
milk to Dubuque.
Respectfully submitted,
L. J, Schiltz,
City Manager.
Councilman Welu moved that

March 3, 1952.
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen; In order to plan
for the expansion of our water sys-
tem Ihave had the Water Depart•
meat Superintendent prepare a re•
port showing the statistics on rev
enues and expenditures, the im-
provements needed over a ten year
period and those proposed for
1952.
The improvements planned with-
in the city, such as Main exten•
sions and new wells, include an
expenditure of $97,300.00 for the
main extensions in the newly an•
vexed area. The residents of this
area have acquired an equity in
the city water facilities that were
paid for by those within the old
limits and should, in my .opinion
be assessed for a portion of the
water main extensions.
Extensions planned for 1952 in
this new area include Pennsylvania
Avenue west to Drexell Street,
Fairfax Avenue, Lennox Avenue
west to Alpha Street, Brown Street,
Green Street from Pennsylvania
Avenue northeast, Chaney Road
from Hillcrest south to Pennsyl-
vania Street, Asbury Road from
Carter Road west approximately
1000 feet.
These extensions are a part of
the expansion program and it is
proposed that the city pay the
costs in excess of a six inch main.
The assessed amount would be ap•
proximately one-half the total cost.
In order that the proposed pro•
gram can be completed, it will be
necessary to issue $200,000.00
worth of Revenue Bonds.
I recommend that the program
be approved as I have it outlined
to include special assessment of
main extensions in the annexed
area, the drilling of two new wells
if the test well proves satisfactory,
main extensions in the old system
and the issuance of $200,000.00 in
Revenue Bonds.
Respectfully submitted,
L. J. SCHII,TZ,
City Manager.

Hon. Mayor and Members
of the City Council,
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: April 4, 1949, the
claim of Anna Link for damages
received in a fall on an icy side-
walk at 30th and Central Avenue,
on February 18, 1949, was filed
with the City Council and referred
to the City Solicitor. At that time
the extent of claimant's injuries
had not become definite and the
City Solicitor, consequently, was
unable to make any recommenda-
tions. Subsequently, on January
17, 1951, claimant instituted an ac-
tion in District Court founded on
this claim and asking damages
in the amount of $10,000.00.
This office has made an investi•
gation of the facts and has deter-
mined that claimant fell on rough
and uneven ice which had been on
the sidewalk for several days, She
sustained a fractured of her left
femur which proved difficult ill
healing and no union was effected
until the Fall of last year. She
has now recovered sufficiently to
be able to walk with a crutch
and may soon be able to walk with
a cane. She has, of course, been
unable to work and has sustained
loss of wages in the amount of
$998 per year for three years. Her
medical expense amounts to
$1,007.56 to date,
I have conferred on this matter
with Kenline, Roedell, Hoffman
and Reynolds, attorneys for claim-
ant and have entered into an agree-
ment to settle this action for the
sum of $3,014.50,
I recommend that this settlement
be approved and the City Auditor
be instructed to issue a warrant
payable to Anna Link and Hal F,
Reynolds, her attorney, in the
amount of $3,014.50 and to deliver
the same upon the receipt of a
properly executed release and the
dismissal of said action with pre-
judice at plaintiff's costs.
Respectfully submitted,
T. H. NELSON,
Councilman Kolb moved that
the recommendation of City Solici-
tor Nelson be approved and the
City Auditor be instructed to draw
a warrant in the amount of $3,014.-
50 in favor of Anna Link and Hal F.
Reynolds, her attorney, as settle-
ment of the claim and court ac-
tion, and that said warrant be de•
livered upon receipt by the City
of Dubuque of a properly execut•
ed release and the dismissal of
said action with prejudice at plain-
tiff's costs. Seconded by Council-

and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen:
The communication of the City
Manager recommending establish-
ment of one-way streets, installa-
tion of traffic lights. and eleminat-
ing parking on Eighth Avenue was
referred back to the City Manager
for further study and report.
One question raised .was the
operation of emergency vehicles
on one-way streets. This does not
constitute any problem but neces-
sitates arevision of the city or-
dinance providing for the operation
of emergency. vehicles in the op-
posite direction to traffic on one-
way streets.
`My' original recommendation
called for Bluff Street to be one-
way from Eighth Street to Dodge
Street: I have htid studies made
as to the traffic conditions on
Bluff and Locust Streets from
Dodge Street to Fourth Street and
find that at this tune it would be
best to leave Bluff Street two-way
from Second Street to Dodge Street.
This will allow about the same
amount of traffic at both Dodge
gild Locust and Bluff and Locust
ihtersections. It will also mean
that northbound traffic on Bluff
Street will have to turn east on
Secolid and proceed north on
Locust at Second Street.
Second Streetis a wide thorough-
fare,. Traffic lights are aheady in-
stalled on Second and Locust
which could be retimed to suit
traffic conditions better than those
at the approach to the Julien Du-
buque Bridge.
I, therefore, .recommend that
Bluff Street be one-way from
Eighth Street to Second Street and
that Locust, Main and Iowa Streets
be one-way streets as recom-
mended in my recommendation
on February 23rd.
Respectfully submitted,
