To the Honorable Mayot• and City

Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: I am submitting here-
with reports of the City Auditor, City
Treasurer and City Water Depart-
ment for the month of February,
1935, also list of claims and list of
payrolls for which warrants were
drawn during the month of Febru-
ary, 1935.
Yours very truly,
R, M. EVANS,
City Manager.

March 11, 1935.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: This is to advise that
Mr. H. A. 1!'ranklin, Signal Engineer
of the Board of Railroad Commis-
sioners of the State of Iowa, was in
Dubuque Match 6th. He was inter-
ested and discussed with us the
proposed flashing light signals for
the railroad crossing protection ser••
vice. Mr. Franklin also submitted
to ns a requisite for highway cross-
ing signals adopted by the Board of
Raih•oad Commissioners as of Feb-
ruary 15, 1935, and also a decision
of the Board of Railroad Commis-
sioners dated December 28, 1934.
The first mentioned statement in-
cludes in Item 1 of their general set-
up, the condition that on each signal
there shall be a figure abotit 6 inch-
es square and the word "Tracks"
specifying the total number of tracks
that have to be crossed at each
street crossing. The .number and
the word "Tracks" is required to be
built of reflector buttons. The Rail-
road Commissioners have also ap-
proved the flashing light type'sig-
nal similar to the A. R. A. type sub-
mitted by the four railroad superin-
tendents and the flashing light type
with rotating disc as was also snb-
rnitted by the superintendents and
designated Griswold. Mr. Franklin
also left a copy of the signal made
by the Western Railroad Supply
Company Svhich is practically sim-
ilar to the Griswold type and has
also been approved,
Item 2 of these .requirements indi-
cates that the signals shall not vary
iu excess of 8 to 15 feet from the
nearest rail and shall not vary moie
than 6 to 12 feet ft•om the right hand
60 Special Session, March 11th, 1935
edge of the pavement or traveling
roadway.
Item 3 specifies that at least 20
seconds warning shall be furnished
at all highway crossings prior to the
arrival of approaching trains.
Item 4 states that two sources of
electric power shall be provided for
operation of crossing signals. This
question was discussed with Mr.
Franklin as tc the necessity in the
Western Railroad Supply Company
or Griswold type of signal. Mr.
Franklin advised that possibly the
second source of power could be
eliminated in either of these two sig•
pals, but certainly could not be elim-
inated in the A. R. A. type.
Item 5 includes certain informa-
tion on the installation of circuits
which applies principally to the en•
gineering design of the construction.
Item 6 states that the height of
the lamp units shall not vary in ex-
cess of 7 feet 10 inches to 9 feet
above the surface of the highway.
Another very important requirement
in this item is that signal lamps
shall shine in both directions along
the highway. This means that in
an ordinary crossing, as at Lincoln
Avenue, a car approaching toward
the east would see the flashing sig-
nals on the right side of the high-
way and by .looking across the
tracks would also see two additional
Hashing signals at the rear of the
crossing signal on the east side of
the tracks. This was unknown to
us prior to this report as to the re-
quirement of flashing lamps showing
both ways on each signal including
front and back lights as is specified,
Requirements are that the lamp un-
its shall have lenses red in color
and not less than 8~ inches in diam-
eter for both the front and rear lo-
cations at each signal past,
Item 7 provides that the number
of flashes for each light per minute
shall not vary in excess of from 30
to 45 per minute.
Item 8 provides that even in the
bright sun that these Hashing lights
in day time shall be effective 300
feet from the signal.
Item 9 goes into further detail on
the type of working and size there-
of of the words "Railroad Crossing''
which are diagonally attached to
each sighal post,
Item 10 provides that bells shall
be installed on each crossing sig-
nal if local conditions warrant the
same, This question was discussed
with Mr. Franklin and it is our be-
lief that bells can be practically
eliminated throughout the City of
Dubuque, Item 10 specifies the
painting of metal parts shall be of
white or aluminum paint, Other pro-
visions include size and dimensions
of foundations, workmanship, de•
ecription of the reflector buttons and
the description of the atop sign on
the rotating disc type signal.
The second report submitted as to
decisions made by the Railroad Com-
missioners includes a statement that
from the years 1925 to 1933 inclu-
sive 7,000 crossings in the United
States have been improved by signal
protection and that accidents have
been reduced nearly 50% thereby.
It seems that this report was made
after discussions from railroad offi•
cials at a general meeting at Des
Moines.
The report mentions that from the
information received, that consider-
ation should be given to the advis-
ability of adopting flashing light sig-
nals with the rotary stop banner
as an added feature. This seems
to apply to the Western ,Railroad
Supply or Griswold type.
Briefly analyzing their opinion, it
would seem that in the Western Sup•
ply Company or Griswold type the
word "Stop" only appears at the
crossing signal when a train is ap-
proaching or in a case where the
entire electricity fails. In the A. R:
A. type of signal the following in-
formation is constantly 'in view of
vehicular approaching traffic, "Stop
on Red Signal:' Indications ate that
"Stop. on Red Signal" does not mean
to the individual car or truck driver
the same serious warning that the
word "Stop" does.
The Railroad Commissioners
stress the point that the movable
stop sign has proved to be satisfac-
tory and effective and they justify
consideration of this rotating disc
and stop sign. The rotating stop
banner meets the requirements of
the general provisions of railroad
signaling where crossing circuits are
used. The rotating atop sign disap•
pears from the individual signal post
when the crossing has been cleared
by the train, as long as the electric-
ity is in action. IY the electricity
fails, by gravity, the atop sign
swings into view.
Another point stressed in favor of
the rotating atop banner is that
same has an important advantage
in certain failures ouch as burned
out lamp bulbs, defective contacts,
broken wires, broken fuses or fail-
ure of electricity, They further em-
phasize that one word "Stop" should
furnish all the necessary informa~
tion to pedestrians or car owners
crossing the tracks.
The only disadvantage which they
state they have heard to this type
is the increased cost over the A. R.
A. type, but they believe that the
Special Session, Nlarch 11th, 1935 61
additional cost will be offset by the
auxiliary additional information that
adds certain safety features,
This rotating banner type has
been adopted in some other states
as the only. type of signal that can
be used.
At the conclusion of this January
15, 1935, report, in confliction some-
what, eve believe, with the 1931
Code, the following is quoted from
their record: "Plans for any pro-
posed installation of automatic cross-
ing protection shall be submitted to
the Railroad Commission of the
State of Iowa for its approval before
installing the same. This require-
ment shall be effective on or after
Januat•y 15, 1936:'
We also have a letter from Mr.
W. Kearton, Signal Engineer of the
State of Minnesota. Mr. Kearton al-
sc stresses the disadvantage of the
A. R. A. type in case of failure of
power regardless of tivhether a sec-
ond battery is used or not. He states
that the Griswold or Western Rail-
road Supply type signal has had the
approval of Mr. Thos. H. McDonald,
Bureau of Public Roads, Washing-
ton, D. C., and in his opinion also
this particular type with the t•e-
ftector button stop sign only that
swings on gravity to appear before
the person crossing the railroad, re•
gardless of whether electricity is in
the circuit or not, has distinct ad-
vantages and this type of signal has
been approved in the State of Min•
nesota,
We also have a letter from Mr.
Homer Hughes, Railroad Inspector
of the State of Michigan, He states
that both the A. R. A. type and the
Griswold type have been approved,
but iq the Michigan setup the chief
point stt•essed is the requirement oY
reflector buttons on either the
"Stop" sign or "Stop on Red Sig-
nal" sign. In Michigan also there
are required both the front and back
flashing lights on each signal.
We have not as yet heard from
Mr, McDonald. Accordingly, it is
my opinion and my recommendation
herewith to the City Council of Du-
buque that they do consider and ap•
prove the more modern type of rail-
road crossing signal, namely the ro-
tating disc atop sign.
As a possible offset to decrease
the cost of this more modern type
signal as compared to the A. R, A.
type, we have information that the
Federal Government, in certain cas-
es, has paid for the complete cast
of signals at crossings on Federal
highways. Accordingly, possibly the
entire cost of Fourth Street and
Rhomberg Avenue could be secured
from the Government which would
materially decrease the estimate
submitted by the four railroad super-
intendents.
We have quite an amount of infor-
mation available fot• discussion if so
desired.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved

Manager Evans be approved and

and three story frame houses, which
should be condemned. These hous•

will find the structures should be

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen; In connection with
the instructions by the writer to
advise Mrs. Lena Merkes of 40 East
18th Street, Dubuque, Iowa, of the
conditions that exist by the City
of Dubuque having purchased tax
sale certificates on certain proper-
ties on which Mrs, Merkes request-
ed cancellation of special assess-
ments, please be advised as follows:
On March 8th a letter was writ-
ten to Mrs. Merkes, with copy at•
tacked hereto, stating that the City
had purchased tax sale certificates
on two tracts that were originally
designated as owned by her and a
third one that .had been originally
assessed to Anna Holz, but whose
property has been taken aver by
Mrs. Merkes.
Today Mr. John P, Merkel has
presented the following information:
that he has paid his taxes in full.
He now requests that Council con-
sider the best legal adjustment pos-
sible in these special assessment
balances still due.
Attached is a summary showing
the m•iginal assessments and the
amounts paid ny the City on the
three tracts when tiua tas :ale r,Er-
tffieates were pur,:ku,sed by the city.
This money was advanced front the
Consolidated Pund to the extent of
$199.02 shortly after March 31, 1931.
The question presented by Mr.
Merkes now is, first, can there be
any adjustment on the $?99.02; sec-
ond, he desires the 8% penalty and
8% interest be eliminated and that,
if possible, 6% interest on the
$199.02 be acceptable to the Conn•
oil if legal.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Ma>lager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved
that Mrs, Lena Merkel be granted
permission to redeem the tax sale
certificate held by the City of llu-
buque against her property located
on East 18th Street upon payment
cf the face value of the certificate
plus 6% interest from date of rer-
tificate, the tax sale certificate to
l;e surrendered upon he making of
said payment. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Schiltz, Carried by the fol-

17th Street. The question was dis-
cussed with him as to whether or
not he would object to providing
a stop zone for the buses in front
of his business place. He agreed
that we could use approximately 25
to 30 feet of the street curb in front
of his stare and that he would still
have room for parking of one car
in front of his property.
It would seem that this is a neces•
sary provision due to the fact that
the water on 17th Street west of
Central Avenue is not taken care of
by any storm sewer. The water
flows dawn this gutter and goes
slightly north of the north curb line
of West 17th Street if the same were
projected eastwardly onto Central
Avenue. Water yesterday, in a fair-
ly dry day, was at least one-half
inch deep, flowing into the spot
where pedestrians would be forced
to get off buses at this location.
Accordingly, it is my recommenda-
tion that this curb line be painted
in front of the portion of the Welu
establishment and the buses be per-
mitted to stop at the sidewalk in-
tersection where passengers can step
onto the first step of the high curb
at this particular location.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At -the meeting of
the City Council held March 18th
the attached petition from John B.
Wessinger, 2656 Central Avonue, in
connection with a requestfor a free
permit to peddle fruit and vege-
tables, was referre[~ to the CiQyj
Manager.
From my records I find that Mr.
Wessinger had been granted a free
license in 1931, 1932, 1933 and again
in 1934. He is a World War veter-
an; was not injured in war service,
but did contract arthritis. In 1931
his skull was fractured in a farm
accident, He is still not able to
do heavy work.
Six dependents are in Mr. Wer-
singer's family. The former Sol-
diers' Relief amounting to $2.70 per
week was cancelled over a year ago.
While this man has assets to the
extent of about $1,000.00, it would
seem that he is still entitled to a
free license as has been granted
in the past.
Yours very truly,
R, M, EVANS,
• City Manager.

March 21, 1935.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: About the first of the
year Mr, B, Bond of the Consoli•
dated Bank made a requestfor con•
sideration by the City Council of
widening the sidewalk or narrow-
ing the street on Second Street east
of Iowa Street on the north side
of the street, This present street
is 60 feet wide from curb line to
curb line and is very short, running
from Iowa Street only to the rail-
road crossing,
The property to be benefited is
the former Dubuque Paper Co, build-
ing where the condition exists that
the first floor on Second Street is
se much higher than the sidewalk
that no possible provision can be
made for loading trucks on Second
Street. Accot•dingly, the request
was that the street should be nar•
rowed 10 feet in order tc provide
for a safe and non•excesaive slop-
ing ramp to be built from the new
curb line to the property line. This
would still leave 50 feet width of
street from the south curb line to
the proposed curb line,
Another reason for our suggestion
of the approval of this improvement
is to correct the present improper
drainage condition.
Mr. Byrne and Mr. Cnllen have
investigated this proposition and
have secured from the Government
100% of the money required for
labor and material to make this
change. The main feature is that
it will benefit the future use of this
building on the north side of Sec-
ond Street. The property owner
will pay for all necessary changes
in the reconstruction of sidewalk
and proposed ramp.
It is suggested that this plan be
approved in order to provide proper
facilities for a new industry that is
considering the use of this building.
Attached is a plan showing the
general situation.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger moved to
refer the communication of City
Manager Evans to the City Council

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the verbal information submitted to
the City Council last week by Mr,
Chas. McLean, Secretary of the Key
City Gas Co., please find attached
herewith a letter and a statement in
regard to the new gas rates.
You will note that the regular
rates have been reduced, as was
stated by Mr. McLean for each 1000
cu, ft. The minimum bill per meter
is still to remain at 50c per month.
A reduction also occurs in the pro-
posed rates far use of less than 1000
cu. ft. Per month.
A new rate is presented desig-
nated as an Optional Rate with five
brackets, ranging from a net 80c
cost per 1000 cu. ft. from 125,000 to
200,000 and the following brackets
reduced to a final of 621/zc for all
over 600,000 cu. ft. This optional
rate includes a monthly minimum
equivalent approximately to the low-
est figure in the brackets at the net
rate of 1000 cu. ft. This type of op•
90 Special Session, March 28th, 1935
ticnal rate is entirely different from
the regular rate inasmuch as in the
optional calculation, the entire con•
sumption per month is figured at the
net rate per 1000 cu. ft. For in•
stance, if a man is using 250,000 cu,
ft, he will be billed at the flat charge
of 75c per 1000 cu. ft.
For your information, there is al•
so attached herewith a study of the
present cost from 1,000 to 1,OD0,000
cu. ft., the proposed regular cost and
the proposed new cost at the op•
tional rate above 125,000 cu, ft. A
statement of percentages of reduc•
tion is also included, as well as the
costs 'at Clinton and Waterloo. You
will note that the Dubuque rates, as
proposed, in the regular schedule
from 1000 to 600D cu. ft, are not far
apart from the Clinton and Waterloo
schedules. The rates above 5000 cu.
ft, up to 500,000 cu. ft. are higher
than the other two cities, but from
500,000 to 1,000,000 cu. ft. the rates
are lower than either in Clinton or
Waterloo.
The variation in reductions is
from 3.70% to 18.27%. Mr. McLean's
statement that the reduction in-
cluded approximately $10,000.00 per
year did not include the new op•
tional schedule which will be applic•
able to several present customers in
the City of Dubuque,
It is my recommendation 'that
these rates be accepted as apparent-
ly they are the lowest that can be
secured at this particular time.
Yours very truly,
R. M, EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Andelfinger move d
that the recommendation of City
Manager Evans be approved and
that the letter and statement of the
Key City Gas Company be made a
chatter of record and that the City
Solicitor be instructed to draft an
ordinance coveting the new sched•
ule of gas rates. Seconded by
Councilman Roberts. Carried by the
following vote:

Andelfinger, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz.

March 28, 1935.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: A request was made
this morning by two officials of the
C. M. St. P. & P. Railroad Company
far permission to repair, raise and
change the general slope at one par-
ticular location of the railroad track
and the brick adjoining the track on
both sides in the alley between Main
and Iowa Streets from First to Sec•
and Streets.
In the first place, the plan to raise
the track on this alley at First
Street, particularly on the north
sidewalk crossing, is to eliminate
the present low spot where water
accumulates and where people have
to cross the tracks in the pool of
water on the north sidewalk of First
Street. The plan is to raise the
track about 3 or four inches as a
maximum. From First Street north
for about 200 feet the plan was to
repair the loose and rough brick and
raise the tracks sufficiently so that
water would not stand in certain
spots, with a grade sloping up as
the alley proceeds northwardly to•
wards Second Street.
Another request was that the
track elevation be changed from an
average slope of from 4 to 6% at
the extreme north end just south
of the property line of Second
Street. The purpose of this change
is to benefit the unloading facilities
at the Dubuque Licorice Products
Company. When a car of gasoline
or molasses is unloaded at this par•
titular location, the track is sloping
to such an extent at present, that
approximately 1 to 1~ feet of the
lower end of the tank will not dis•
charge into the valve near the mid•
dle of the car. In order to provide
far this decrease in slope it is plan-
ned to lower the track immediately
south of Second Street about nine
inches by sloping the brick from the
present grade downwardly to the
rail in order to make no dangerous
condition. The track would slope
instead of 4 or 6%, about r/2% down-
ward toward the south and at the
south end of the Licorice Products
Company building, the location of
the surface of the alley where the
track would be, would then be ap•
proximately 1~'~ feet higher than the
present track and brick.
If this change in elevation of the'
track were completed, there would
still be room to provide for the low
spot in the alley from 4 to 8 feet
west of the edge of the tail.
The purpose of the request, as
made by the Milwaukee Railroad
officials, is to improve a general
condition of the siding from First
to Second Streets and to improve
the conditions for unloading facil•
ities at the Licorice Products Com-
pany.
The entire change of this surfae•
ing of the alley and the railroad
track, if approved by the City Coun•
cil, will be assumed by the Milwau•
kee Railroad Company.
The considet•ation of the City
Council is asked at the earliest pos•
Special Session, March 28th, 1935 91
Bible period far decision on this re-
quest, ~r,.i
Yours very, truly,
