Bids for furnishing the materials and per- forming the work were solicited from all the painting contractors. Attached are the specifications for the work together with the four bids which were received. I recom- mend that the contract in the amount of X725.00 for caulking and painting the exterior wood of the= City Hal.[, exceptimg the cornice. be awarded to J. O.

Sec- onclecl by Councihnaxa Murphy. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Wharton, Council- men Murphy, Schueller, Thompson and Van Duelmau. Nays-None. Whereas, the Board of Dock Commissioners is informed that there is a possibility of having a synthetic rubber manufacturing plant established at Dubuque, pro- vided the muncipality will furnish to the Federal Government, free of cost, the required site. Whereas, from information at hand it appears that the area known as the old Standard Lumber Com- pany property, now owned by the City, is considered a suitable site for the plant which the Govern- ment, through the appropriate agen- cy, proposes to build. Whereas, the acquisition of such an industry is of the greatest im- portance to the future welfare of this community and the fullest cooperation with the Federal Gov- ernment and the firm of Archer, Daniels, Midland Company of Min- neapolis is justified. Now Therefm•e, inasmuch as the property in question is under the jurisdiction of the Board of Dock Commissioners, this Board re- spectfully recommends that the City Council take appropriate steps to traxxsfer title to this property to the Federal Government for the sum of $1.00, however, reserving to the City the area ou which is lo- cated the Old Shot Tower (approxi- mately .46 acres) and the easterly end of tlae same tract (approximate- ly .68 acres). It is further understood that the city's or Dock Commission's right to assess and collect wharfage fees shall not be impaired by this trans- fer of title. 212 Special Session, Oct~>1~er 1ith, 1942 The above resolution was present- ed by Thos.
