To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The City Council
viewed an area for a requested new
street light on April 4th, 1936 .This
location is on Sunset Ridge, south
of the end of Wartburg Place. A
petition,, dated March 12, 193G, was
made by Mr. Fred Kretschnter who
has recently erected a home at 520
Sunset Ridge.
The original owner of this sec•
tion of lots, designated Sunset
Ridge, installed .electric boulevard
light standards and underground
lighting conduits, prior to the pav
ing of the road. The dtandards
have not been used, but they are
still erected and apparently can be
operated.
Mention was made that other
homes were planned to be erected
in this area shortly.
Accordingly, the decision of the
Council on April 4th, 1936, was that
authority was granted to have one
boulevard standard provided with a
250 C. P„ allaight globe and the
same equr7ment to be then main-
tained and operated by the Inter•
state Power Company at a cost to
the City of $30.00 per year, as is
now the rate for such unit. The lo-
cation of the standard, determined
to be operated, is on the west side
of Sunset Ridge, slightly south of
Mr. Kretschmer's home. This stan-
dard is approximately 550 feet south
of the last present light near the
southern end of Wartburg Place.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Gottncilman Schilta moved that
the decision of the City Council be
approved. Seconded by Councilman

April 6, 1936,
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen: A request was re-
ceived March 20, 1936, by the City
Council and was referred to the
Council regarding the yearly pay-
merot of $50.00 from the City Water
Department to the Dubuque Traffic
Association
At an informal meeting of the
City Council, as held April 4th, the
question was discussed as to the
former yearly rate of $100.00 to the
Dubuque Traffic Association. In 1935
this rate was reduced to $50.00,
Accordingly, the City Council deter-
mined and authorized that $50.00 be
now paid from the Dubuque Water•
Operating Fund to the Dubuque
Traffic Association.

Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The second request
for the City Canncil to order the
construction of a concrete sidewalk
in front of three vacant lots on the
east side of Queen Street, between
Clinton Street and the end of Queen
Street (ene black north of Clinton
Street), was again discussed by the
City Council on April 4th, 1936.
The decision of the Council on
April 4th was that,. since cindel•s had
now been placed on this former mud-
dy sidewalk space and had made it
possible for walking and due to very
slight use of said sidewallt space at
this location, no concrete sidewalk
was necessary to bey installed at
present in front of Lots 7, 8 and 9
Mettel's Sub. ,
Accordingly, this petition was de•
nied,

April 6, 1936.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A bad condition of
street lighting servico was present-
ed to the City Council ou March
24th, .1936, by a petition of local
residents. The Council inspected
this location, viz. at Bt•adley and
Dunning Streets, on April 4th.
This section of the Bradley paved
Street includes two blocks. They only
present light on the portion of Brad•
ley Street is at the south end of
the same, or at the Randal] Street
intersection. From the intersection
of Bradley and Dunning Streets the
pr•esont 250 C. P. all-night boule-
vard light on Grandview Avenue,
near thti Dunning Street intersection,,
is north of the intersection and trees
on Dunning Street interfere some-
what with ]igIiting service to Brad-
ley Street.
Accordingly, due to the present
families living on the west side of
Bradley Street, north of Dunning
Street, and also families on the east
side of Bradley Street, south of Dun•
ning Street, and another family liv-
ing on Dunning Street, near Bradley
Street, the City Council determined
and authorized the installation of
an overhead all-night 250 C. P, lamp
at the yearly rate of $35.00. A pres-
ent pole at the northeast intersec•
tion of Bradley and Denning Streets
can be used fm• supporting a light
bracket for this light.

To the Honm•able Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The City Council con•
sidered on April 4th two separate
petitions, as filed February 23th and
March 2nd, 1936, requesting a new,
local bus service nn the entire
length of Kaufmann Avenue.
It was realized that Kaufmann
~ Avenue is lightly populated; that
busses would have to leave the city
and pass over a mile or so of co~e~
ty, secondary and non-paved roads,
' according to the petitions. A letter
was received from Mr. Chas. Dove
of the Interstate Powet• Company
advising that btts service on Kauf-
mane Avenue now could not pos-
sibly be self-supporting.
Accordingly, it was the decision of
the City Council on April 4th, 1936,
that at present no possible bus ser-
vice on Kaufmann Avenue from Cen•
tral Avenue to the end, at the west
city line, could be provided.

questing that agaid during 1936 the
Cosley Bottling Company be given
the exclusive right to operate and
sell at the City Ball Park soda wa•
ter, popcorn, ice cream, gum, cigars,
candy, etc., during any sand all games
or exhibitions held at this site. The
fee that the City of Dubuque shall
receive is to be 10% of all gross
revenue collected from such sales.
Arrother portion of this same peti-
tion included the request for the
Cosley Bottling Company to liave
exclusive right to sell the same,pre-
ducts, as above mentioned, on the
parking space, including city owned
land west of the ball park.
The decision on this question was
determined by the City Council at an
informal meeting held Saturday,
April 4th, 1936, as fellows:
(1) That for the year- 1936 the
Cosley Bottling Company was auth•
orized to sell soda water, cigars,
candy, etc., at the Ball Park, as in
the past two years.
(2) That the Cosley Bottling Com•
pony is required to secure from the
local Coca-Cola firm, available coca-
cola and that coca•cola is to be pre•
sented anti sold.
114x. Ray Cosley was interviewed
April 4th on this coca-cola question
by Councilman F. M. Jaeger and Mr,
Cosley agreed to secure coca•cola
and sell the same at any and all
times that his other products were
soldr
The 10% of gross revenue re•
ceived from all products sold ryas
also agreed upon, bath by the City
Council and Mr. Ray Cosley, as the
fee to the City.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A study of traiCrc sig-
nals in Dubuque was made by the
City Council on April 4th, 1936. Con-
sideration was also given to the
request from the Bus Drivers, filed
January 13th, 1936, for the installa-
tion of a new, 4~ngled traffic signal
to be located at 22nd Street and
Central Avenue.
It was determined by the Council
on April 41+h, since the cost of even
one additional traffic signal, as to
initial purchase, installation, elec-
tricity cost and maintenance for one
year, would cost 'approximately
$500.00, that it was not possible at
present to authorize the purchase
and operation of a new signal at this
location.
Accordingly, the petition filed vas,
at ]east temporarily, denied.

Gentlemen: The City Council on
'April 4th, 1936, considered the peti-
tion filed in October, 1935, for the
installation of a new street light on
Curtis Street between State Street
and South Hill street.
Investigation on April 4th deter-
mined that at present there are two
large, 600 C. P, lights on Curtis
Street at both the State and South
Hill Street intersections. These pres•
ent street lights are approximately
525 feet apart. No additional inter-
mediate light can be provided in this
short distance as determined by the
City Council Apt•il 4th, 1936.
Accordingly, the Petition was
denied.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the informal meet-
ing of the City Council Apt•il 4th,
1936, after viewing the site, the
Council approved and authorized the
request submitted by Mr. Emil H.
Rausch of Wartburg Seminary on
December 2nd, 1935, to have the
present 600 C. P, overhead street
light, now located on Wartburg
Place near the southern edge of the
Wartburg Seminary, changed as to
location.
The request was that the present
light be moved two poles north an
Wartburg Place. It was determined
by the Council that this change in
location would be advantageous to
this Seminary and would not intet•-
fere with traffic conditions on Wart-
burg Place as no curves, or inter-
sections now exist between the next
light to the north, at Fremont Ave-
nue and the light south of the light
to be moved, near Lull Street.
Accordingly, the Council author-
ized the Clty Manager to instruct
the Interstate Powet• Company tc
move the present light two poles
north. The cost of moving is to be
paid by the Power Company, as per
the City light agreement.

1b the Honorable Dlayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The City C o u n c i l
viewed the site of a requested new
street light on April 4th, viz. at
Mont Crest and Woodward Streets.
This request was from a number of
residents in this section as filed
October 7th, 1935.
No present street light is located
on Mont Crest Street. It was deter-
mined that a street light would be
of advantage at the requested site,
also that this proposed light would
be of service to traffic and pedes-
trians ou Mont Crest Street west
of Woodward Street, where a steep
slope extends to Abbott Street. At
Abbott and Mont Crest intersection
there is no present light.
The authorization by the Council
ryas that one new' 250 C. P, over-
head all-night street light be in-
stalled at Mont Crest and Wood-
ward Streets at the yearly cost of
$35.00. The light can be installed
from 'a bracltet to be attached to a
present pale ou the southwest cor-
ner of this intersection.

Gentlemen: This is to advise that
at an informal meeting April 4th,
1936, in connection with 'the petition
filed September 25th, 1935, request-
ing the purchase of the Nick Welbes
field for a playground site, the City
Council determined as follows:
That this location was outside the
city limits; that a special election
would be necessary to have bonds
approved to purchase said side; that
during the last two yoars an agree-
ment had been made with Mr.
Welbes for the rental of the portion
of his ]and used for baseball, sltat-
ing, etc. The past rental basis was
$100.00 per year. For the next 12
months the City Council agreed to
rent this portion of the Welbes tract
far $100.00•.
i11r. Nick Welbes was interviewed
April 5th by the City Manager per-
taining to this decision of the City
Council. Mr. Welbes agreed again
J
90 Regular Session, April 6th, 1936
to rent the same portion of his land
for $100.00 per year.
Tt is suggested that after the ap-
proval of this agrement by the City
Council that the question be t•e•
ferred to the Recreation Commis,
sion, as in the past years; that a
written agreement be prepared and
executed by the authority of the Re•
creation Commission to be signed by
the Recreational Director and the
City Manager. The $100.00 rental fee
is to be paid on the basis of $50.00
in April 'and $50.00 six months later,
The entire fee is to be charged to
the Recreational Department budget
for 1936-7.

Supply Company on October 7th,
1935, for the right to erect a tem-
porary platform abont 16 feet in
length across the west portion of
Salina Street, south of Railroad
Street.
This question was referred to the
City Council. On April 4th, 1936, the
City Council viewed this site and
discussed the request with Mr. L.
W. Schaller, Manager of the Con-
sumers Coal and Supply Co.
The following authorization was
made by the Council April 4th, 1936.
That the Consumers Coal and Sup•
ply Company were given ,a tempor•
ary tight to provide and install a
concrete pier parallel and approxim-
ately five feet west of the railroad
switch on Salina Street, This pier
is to provide for the occasional use
of platform extending from the main
building to near the railroad siding
for purpose of loading and unload-
ing cars of material, The pier shall
have on both the north and south
sides a warning signal including a
i•efiector.
The west side of Salina Street,
west of the railroad siding, is not,
used by any other individual or com•
pony, except the petitioner. Diver-
sion can be made in the traffic from
the petitioner's coal yat•d by a pres•
ent road west of his building.
Permission granted by the City
Council i;or the Consumers Ceal &
Supply Co, to occupy a portion of
Salina Street is subject to revoca-
tion at any time that the City Coun•
cil shall request, or demand, the re-
moval of said structure from this
street.
A secondary request was made by
the Consumers Coal and Supply
Company on April 4th to attempt to
have removed a present light pale
now interfering with their truck
traffic. This pole is in line with the
west curb line of Salina Street and
about 2D feet south from the .south
line of Railroad Street. Considera-
tion of the change of location of this
pole has been made by the Inter
state Power Company officials.

Regular Session, April 6th, 1936 91
levied against certain properties
(owned by ladies) for the paving of
Roosevelt Street, A petition was pre•
sented to the Council on March 31,
1936, signed by twelve ladies in re•
Bard to this same matter. This was
referred to the Council on March
31st.
At an informal Council meeting
held Saturday, April 4th, 1936, the
City Council determined that 30%o of
the total paving costs of the 1934
Roosevelt Street improvement was
furnished by the Federal Govern-
ment through the P. W. A. Admin-
istration; also that in many cases
the City of Dubuque had provided
original and even revised reductions
prior to now. The total casts actual-
ly assessed to all property owners
on this project is now approximate-
ly 50% of the original costs paid to
the contractor. $23,436.96 was paid
to the contractor and now only
$11,824.92 is assessed to all owners,
On April 4th the writer was in-
structed by the City Council to make
a definite examination and state-
ment,
Accordingly, please find a list of
al] names on the petition as filed

P, W. A, grant, to the maximum of
G3.G1%.

Special Session, April 13th, 1936.
Council met at 7:50 P. M.
Present-Mayor Jaeger, Council-
men Bennett, Chalmors, Kane,
Schiltz, City Manager Evans.
Meeting called by order of Coun-
cilman Kane and Chalmers.
Mayor Jaeger read the call and
stated that service thereof had been
duly made and that this meeting is
called for the Purpose of consider-
ing the report submitted by the
Planning and Zoning Commission
relative to the site for the building
of the Sw~intming Pool and acting on
any other business as may properly
come before a regular meeting of
the City Council.
April 8th, 1936.
To the Honorable .Mayor sand City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen: Tho City Planning
and Zoning Commission has received
your communication irr regard to the
petition presented to you by a con•
siderable number of citizens in
which it is set- forth that the site
an which the Swimming Pool is to
be constructed by the City of Du•
buque under a WPA.grant is not a
suitable one, and that a site more
centrally located would meet with
more general approval, It seems to
your Commission that the best way
to reply to your letter in regard to
this matter is to review the various
activities entered into by the various
municipal departments in regard to
the Swimming Pool project.
Preliminary to these statements it
should be stated very plainly that-
(1) No provision for the purchase
of land was included yin any PWA
or WPA proposal. Governmental
agencies which were to furnish
funds for self-liquidating projects
specified that these projects would
either be constructed on City prop-
erty er on property which would be
purchased by private individuals
and donated by them to the City to
be used for the specific purposes set
forth in the proposal.
(2) The various municipal bodies
referred to above were at no time
offered any lands or building sites
by private individuals.
The activities of these bodies,
therefore, were entirely occupied.
with surveys of various City owned
properties which might prove suit-
able for the erection of a Swimming
Pool.
(3) The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has, under the statutes,
no authority to select sites for any
Special Session, tlpril 13th, 1936 93
kind of public projects. It has only
the authority- to approve sites. The
City Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion, therefore, assumed from the
beginning that the selection of sites
would of necessity have to be made
by the City Council, the Park Com•
mission, or the Recreation Commis-
sion. This policy was pm•sued up to
the time that approval was sought
and given for various projects.
(4) One of the outstanding sur-
veys made by John Nolen in prepar-
ing the City Plan consisted of an
analysis of lands suitable for indus-
trial purposes which would be re•
quired during the future growth of
this City. This industrial survey in-
dicated mast forcibly the scarcity of
tracts of sufficient extent to accom-
modate factories of large size. The
largest tract available was the un-
occupied western section of what is
known as "Rafferty Slough Fill," An-
other site, only partly available,
then only at the cost of considerable
filling, was Ham's Island,
Feeling that it was its duty to
conserve such industrial sites with-
in the city limits, the Planning and
Zoning Commission proceeded to
zone both these large areas as Hea-
vy Industrial Districts. The wisdom
of this action has never been ques•
tinned, and it is to perpetuate this
established policy, that the Comm~is•
lion persistently wishes to avoid en•
croachment of projects which may
properly be located elsewhere.
The City Council, the Dubuque
Shippers' Association, the Upper
Mississippi River Waterways Assoc-
iation, and the Chamber of Ccm-
merce havo been working assiduoas-
]y for many years in an endeavor
to insure the future industrial
growth of the City of Dubuque by
improving the transportation facil-
ities in this section with special ref-
erence to carrying products of both
farm and factory to distant markets
at the lower rates which prevail on
boats and barges. Tho end of the
labors of these committees is now
in sight; the nine•foot channel is
assured.
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has felt that it must co•
operate to the limit with all the
agencies mentioned in order that
Dubuque may be prepared to meet
the industrial situation which should,
and we hope, will develop. Land
must be available when factories
send representatives to Dubuque to
inspect sites.
With this historical background
]et us now proceed to state exactly
what part the City Planning and
Zoning Commission has played in
the selection and approval of the
Swimming Pool site.
(1) The City Council, without
consulting the City Planning and
Zoning Commission, approved selec-
tion of,a site far the Pool south of
Railroad Avenue on what is known
as the Rafferty Slough project.
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission withheld its approval of
this project for the reasons stated
above, namely, that it would be an
invasion of the district which had
been zoned for heavy industrial uses.
The City Planning and Zoning Com•
mission suggested that other sites
be offered for pits approval,
(2) The approval of the City
Planning and Zoning Commission
was then sought fot• the site known
as Grandview Parlc, and the appro-
val was immediately forthcoming.
The cost of a pool in this site was
higher than usual, and the Govern-
ment denied the applicatien for an
appropriation of close to $100,000.00.
(3) Other sites were then sought
throughout the City, all of the sites
on lands owned by the City of Du•
buque comprising chiefly school and
park properties. No effort, as far as
we can remember, was made to per-
suade individuals to purchase land
in what are now described as "more
suitable or more central locations"
and to deed it to the City fot• Swim•
wing Pool purposes. No proposals
resulting from these investigations
were ever presented to the City
Planning and Zoning Commission.
(4) Finally a proposal ryas again
made to the City Planning and Zon-
ing Commission concerning a new
site at Rafferty Slough, namely,
north of Railroad Avenue, it being
stated that the site which had orig-
inally been approved by the City
Council and Recreation Commission
was not large enough far the pro-
posed Paol (the first site, south of
Railroad Avenue).
A study of the site north of Rail-
road Avenue was then made by the
City Planning and Zoning Commis•
sion and approval withheld because
a pool here might seriously curtail
the future industrial growth of this
City. Investigation also disclosed the
fact that this Rafferty Slough prop-
erty was originally filled by order
of the City Council to create in the
City of Dubuque new property for
industrial development. The Raffer-
ty Slough Fill was the direct out-
come of the need for industrial
sites.
The Council then proceeded to
covenant in the bonds +vhich pro-
vided the funds with which to fill
Rafferty Slough that this was an
industrial site project. That being
the case, it seems very clear that
if the site were chosen by the Re•
94
Session, April 13th, 1936
creation Commission and the Coun-
cil, and approved by the City Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission, an in-
junction would probably isspe and
the matter be held up in the Courts
for 'a long period of time, the ulti-
mate decision probably being
against the location of the Pool on
a site that had bedn acquired for in•
dustrial uses only. In any event the
matter might be in the Courts so
long that the Government would
withdraw its approval of the Pool
project.
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission expressed its disappro•
val of this location for the reasons
stated.
(5) The next location that was
placed before us was at Eagle Point
near the site of the old bathing
structures which are still standing.
The approval of this site was imme•
diately granted by the Commission,
(6) Again let it be made clear
that while different committees
worked on the Pool Project for many
weeks, uo other "more central" or
"mare suitable location" was ever
presented to the City Planning and
Zoning Commission for its approval,
Reasons for the Approval of the
Eagle Point Site
The site at Eagle Point is located
on City owned property. A very
large tract of land is needed for the
Pool. The plans indicate that the
over-all length of the Pool is in the
neighborhood of 600 feet, or two and
one-half city blocks. The site pro-
vides sufficient ]and for the Pool,
for the approaches, for roads and
parking spaces, and for a beautiful
river front park equipped with docks
and anchorages for small boats and
providing unusual facilities for aqua-
tic sports.
The cost of supplying water to a
pool is lowest at this site due to the
close proximity to the main City
Pumping Station. Incidentally, this
question of construction cost devel•
oiled to be a most serious one as
evidenced by the fact that the Gov-
ernment tuned down more elabor-
ate pool plans 'as not being within
reason for aself-liquidating project.
Many citizens perhaps do not know
that in obtaining the final Govern-
ment appropriation for the pool, a
condition of the grant required that
Dubuque citizens subscribe far
$5,000.00 worth of the bonds to make
the project possible. Citizens in all
parts of the City invested in these
bonds with the Eagle Point site spec-
ified. As far as we know, these citi-
zens accepted the proposed site and
at least should be consulted before
any radical changes of plans are
contemplated.
It pis suggested by the City Plan•
ning and Zoning Commission that
this site offers the people of the
City of Dubuque the only possible
opportunity fora River Front Park.
The fact is also stressed that Du-
buque is the only city of any import-
ance along the river that does not
have a river front park, and that to
be without a river front park after
completion of the n~ine•foot channel
would stigmatize Dubuquo as a very
unprogressive and backward City.
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission reminds the City Coun•
Gil that this whole area has already
been set aside as a public reserva-
tion or park and is so designated on
the Master Plan,
Furthermore, the United States
Government plans to create a beau-
tiful reservation on the sit of its
]oclcs and dams which lie beneath
the bluffs at Eagle Point. A sea wall
already leads to that reservation.
The WPA now proposes to throw a
bridge across Peosta Slough in the
neighborhood of 16th Street and to
extend a sea wall along the east
side of Ham's Island. If these pro-
jects are carried out, there will then
be a City Drive from 16th Street
across Ham's Island, skirting the
river, crossing to the mainland at
the upper end of the island at Haw•
thorne Street, then passing in front
of the prroposed Pool and river front
park and extending to the lochs and
dams.
In the near neighborhood, al-
though not adjacent to this River
Front Project, is Eagle Point Park
whfch now draws thousands of peo-
ple annually during the summer sea,
son. The combination of Eagle Point
Fork, the locks and dams, the Pool,
the River Drive, and Ham's Island,
which later will be developed, cif
plans do not go amiss, will Provide
such a variety of recreational facil-
ities that the question as to whether
the Swimming Pool is centrally lo•
Gated or not does not seem to be the
controlling factor. The important
thing is to find something beautiful
and interesting when you get there,
'and the river after all is the most
outstanding attraction which we
have to offer visitors.
Those citizens who feel that the
Pool should be located in a spot ad-
jacent to a large Portion of our
population will, we believe, upon
more mature consideration enthus-
iastically approve of the very inter-
esting developments which are in
process of being carried out in the
Eagle Point Section and of which
the Swimming Pqol is but a part.
The City Planning and Zoning
Conm~ission can see no reason why
Session, April 13th, 1936 9S
it should withdraw its approval of
the Eagle Point site.

Gentlemen:-
Petition of George Rettenmaier
The matter of this petition which
was referred back to the Planning
and Zoning Commission by your ac•
tion of April 4, 1936, fm' further con-
sideration, was discussed at length
at the recent monthly meeting of
the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion and the unanimous action of
our body `ryas again to recommend
to City Council the disallowance of
said petition, The reasons, as pre,
viously set out iu our letter of July it
8, still holds. Furthermore, the Com•
mission wishes to stress the lack of
sound justification for the suggest-
ed change from the standpoint of
future planning and zoning prin•
ciples, An. encroachment here will
justify other encroachments on the
plan, eventually resulting in a gen•
oral breakdown. All efforts in this
attractive residential district should
be toward fulfillment of the Mastet•
Plan, by the gradual elimination of
all non-residential structures as time
goes on, rather than away from the
plan.
Respectfully yours,
