I have searched the records of
1924 and find no agreement that was
authot•ized by the City Council, How-
ever, as stated in the motion passed
December 10, 1923, City Manager
Carr had evidently made a verbal
agreement with Mr. Louis Murphy,
head of the Dubuque Poster Com-
pany, to the effect that the Dubuque
Poster Advertising Company could
construct and maintain billboards,
up to 10 in number, on the newly
filled subdivision site for sale to the
public, located in Rafferty Slough,
south of Railroad Street; that there
would be-no rental charge for these
10 boards conditioned that one board
would be used to advertise industrial
sites for sale by the City.
This information is obtained from
correspondence with Mr, Sigman and
Mr. Carr in June, 1920, after Mr.
Carr left for Fort Worth. This ver-
bal agreement was verified by Mr.
Carr. Attached is a copy of a let-
ter, dated October 21, 1932, from Mr,
Louis Murphy.
Apparently there was no period
designated as to how long these
boards could be erected, but there
was a statement that there would
be no fee charged by the City to
Mr. Murphy conditioned on his main-
taining the single sign board adver-
tising industrial sites for the City.
In June, 1927, Mr, Sigman con-
tacted the farmer Councilmen, Mr.
Brede and Dr. Alderson, and they
]tnew nothing of this agreement and
could not verify the same.
Respectfully submitted,
R, M. EVANS,
City Manager.

the communication be referred back

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen: We ask your consid-
eration as to the street car tracks
at present abandoned that are to be
removed and the paving replaced for
this calendar year by the Interstate
Power Company.
Thirteenth Street from Main to
Central Avenue is in a very bad
vehicular condition. It is our aim,
however, to try to secure Federal
aid for the relaying of these two
blocks of paving, including the en-
tire street from curb to curb, and
there would be no cost to the Power
Company except the removal of the
rails and ties. .For this project there
will be sufficient brick, we estimate,
from the Rhomberg Avenue tracks.
Additional tracks that should be
given consideration and for which
we ask your authority tc contact
the Interstate Power Company,
would include:
1. 15th Street from Central to
Main.
2. Julien Avenue front Alpine to
Delhi,
3, Delhi Street from Julien Ave-
nue to St. Ambrose. However,
before Delhi Street is consid-
ered, it is suggested that Route
No. 20 from the west end of
West Locust to Delhi Street be
given consideration.
4, Shires Avenue should also have
the rails removed, especially at
the crossing at the west end
of the brick.
We desire your decision as the
Power Company are nearly ready to
start removal of this agreed two
miles per year,
Respectfully submitted,
R, M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Jaeger moved that the ~
recommendation of City Manager
Evans be approved. Seconded by

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen: At the Council meet-
ing of April 26th a regnest was pre-
sented to the City Council for per-
mission to erect a filling station at
the southwest corner of 17th and
Central Avenue. The decision of the
Council teas that they view this site
before the filling station be auth-
orized.
The writer wishes to advise you
that Article 9, Section D, of the Zon-
ing Ordinance reads as follows:
"No part of any filling station or
of any public garage shall be er-
ected in a zone, in which such
structures are permitted, within
200' of any lot upon which is lo-
cated a church, hospital, school,
institution, theatre or assembly
hall."
As you probably know, the First
Presbyterian Church is located on
the southeast corner of Iowa and
17th Streets and is directly west
and across a 20' alley from this lot
on which the filling station is de-
sired. Accordingly, it would seem
that it i~ necessary to deny this re-
quest and it will not be necessary
far the Council to view this site.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M, EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schiltz moved that
the request for the erection of a fill-
ing station at the southwest corner
of 17th Street and Central Aveuue
be denied and that the communica-
tion of City Manager Evans be made
a matter of record. Seconded by
Councilman Jaeger. Carried by the
following vote`.

Dubuque Addition on the basis of
paying the assessment principal plus
6% interest was considered by the

To the Hbnorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the informal meet-
ing of May 10th there was presented
to the City Council a letter from Mr,
Leo T. Gregory, Chairman of the
Recreation Commission, advising
that the Recreation Commission, at
their regular meeting in April, had
taken action to increase the month-
ly fee far the Recreational Director's
car allowance from $18.00 to $3D.00
per month fm' the balance of the fis-
cal year 1935.36.
Following the reading of this let-
ter, the statutes were checked and
it was determined that the Recrea-
tion Commission has the power to
change certain of their separate bud-
get items as long as the increase is
allotted to some other fund within
the total appropriation for that par-
ticular department. In the general
budget for the Recreation Depart-
ment for the year 1935.36 there was
allotted for reserve and previous
year's expenditures that were not
paid due to lack of funds, the sum
df $1,053.00, In the month of April
there was paid $753.08 which now
wipes out all previous year's bills
that were unpaid. It now seems that
the $12.00 per month increase start-
ing April, 1935, to March, 1936, or
$144.00, can be allotted to this re-
serve fund.
By action of the Council, the Rec-
reation Department was instructed
to absolutely live within its budget
this year and in the future years to
came and that no supplies were to
be purchased or agreements made
far service for the fiscal year which
could not be paid from anticipated
revenues allotted in the budget.
Respectfully submitted,

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is a letter
from Mr. C. W. Storms, Auditor of
State, in regard to the Council's de-
sire to get an opinion from the State
Examiner regarding the $100.00 fee
that was orally discussed by Mr.
Kooser in 1933 and Was recommend-
ed not to be paid by the Water De•
partment to the Dubuque Traffic As-
sociation,
The opinion from the Auditor of
State, Mr, Storms, now indicates
that the Water Department only can
pay this bill if it is determined that
service secured from this Associa-
tion is worth as much as the $100.00
per year fee. Accordingly, it appears
that the Water Department is now
authorized to make this payment.
Respectfully submitted
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schiltz moved to refer
the communication to the Superin-
tendent of the City Water Depart-
ment for a report to be made back
to the City Council, Seconded by
Councilman Chalmers. Carried by

State Examiners would be sent to
Dubuque within a few weeks for the
completion of the reports for the

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the informal Coun-
cil meeting held May 10th the ques•
tion was discussed as to the neces•
sity of ono additional overhead
stt•eet light at the sharp curve west
of the last light on Kaufmann Ave-
nue. Tentative approval was made
of the necessity of this one addi-
ticnal light on Kaufmann Avenue.
Upon investigation today it ap•
pears that the location for this addi-
tional light is approximately 700'
west of the present light, just west
of the entrance to the Water Works,
The recommended location is at the
middle of a sharp curve, to the left
about 15D' northeast from a new
house built by Mr, Spiegelhaltet•, If
this light were installed at this loca-
tion, it would provide illumination
for street vehicular traffic and pedes-
trian traffic to the west for a long
slightly curved section and would
serve as illumination for a house on
the hill west of Spiegelhalter's and
another house northwest from Spie-
gelhalter's house. It would also ben-
efit the occupants of house No. 1826
which is directly east of Spiegel-
halter's.
Tn order to make the proper pro-
vision for lighting, it is also recom-
mended that the present lamp at
the entrance to the Water Works
be moved one pole to the west to be
approximately in the middle of this
curve turning to the light going
west. By the moving of this present
light and the installation of a new
light at the sharp curve, the two
lights would be approximately 600'
apart and would provide sufficient
service for this portion of Kaufmann
Avenue.
Respectfully submitted,
R, M. EVANS,
City Manager.

the recommendation of City Man-
ager Evans be approved. Seconded

Gentlemen: A request has been
made that the boulevard light on the
south side of West 15th Street,
about 30' west of the Central Ave-
nue west property line, be again
lighted. This lamp has been turned
off for over two years and was not
authorized by the writer to be again
lighted when the Central Avenue
lights were turned on to the num-
ber of six in each block. The instal-
lation costs of this light were borne
by Mr, Al. Hoffmann 'and formerly
the City paid for the current for this
light.
Accordingly, your consideration
and opinion is desired as to whether
or not this light should be again
turned on.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen: At the Council meet-
ing of May 13th the writer sub-
mitted aletter, as a verbal request
from Mr. Alois M. Hoffmann, that
the blanked boulevard light on the
south side of West 15th Street, west
of Central Avenue, be again lighted
and the current therefor paid by the
City,
The action of the Council was that
a report be submitted regarding the
authorization of. this light and the
former method of current payment.
Accordingly, from the Council rec-
ords of September 30th, 1929, page
475 of the minutes, the following
petition and motion are copied:-
"Petition of Alois M, Hoffmann,
requesting that the Council permit
him to have a boulevard light
placed on his property on the
southwest corner of 15th Street
and Central Avenue at his own
expense,
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the prayer of the petition be
granted, Seconded by Councilman
McEvoy, Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas-Mayor Andelfinger, Council-
men Jansen, McEvoy, Meuser,
Schuckert.
Nays--None,"
From the September 1929 Council
files the original petition reads as
follows:-
Dubuque, Iowa,
September 30, 1929.
"To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, -Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen:
I respectfully request the Du-
buque City Council to grant per-
mission to the undersigned to
have a boulevard light placed on
his property on the 15th Street
side, `vest of Central Avenue. The
expense of the light and installa-
tion will be borne by the under-
signed.
Respectfully submitted,
ALOIS M. HOFFMANN,"
At a conference with Mr, Hoff•
mann today, it is stated that the
expense of the light was meant to
include the cost of purchasing the
standard, the globes and al] parts
required for the standard type of
lamp installed on Control Avenue.
Nlr. Hoffmann also paid for install-
ing the light.
It was meant, however, that the
City should assume the cost of pay-
ing for the monthly cost of current
for this light. Following the instal-
lation and up to the date of Feb•
ruary 1, 1933, when certain of the
Central Avenue circuit were blank-
ed, the current for this light was
assumed and paid by the City. This
light, together with 3 other blanked
lights on the Central Avenue circuit,
was not ordered to, be again lighted
this year, due to the authorization
from Council, that on Centro] Ave-
nue the blanked lights were to be
again lighted, following the reduced
rates secured on the basis of 6
lights, total, per block.
This particular light is of the 2-
lamp, 600 C. P. type and would burn
until 11:00 P. M. if authorized to be
again lighted. The annual cost for
this boulevard type, as per the
March 1935 reduced rates, would be
$48.00. The cost per month would
be $4,00, or from June 1, 1935, to
March 31, 1936, the total cost (for
10 months) would be $40,00.
Resectfully submitted,

1935, instructions were recorded that
for the 1935 Wrestling and Boxing
use of the City Ball Park, that a
notice far bids was to be advertised,
bide should be received today and
then submitted to the City Council,
Attached is a copy of a "Notice to
Bidders, Etc.," as was published in

At 10; 00 A, M. today the following
bids, as herewith attached, were re•
ceived and opened:
(1) Proposal from Mr. Ken Fenelon
of Dubuque, Iowa, agreeing to
conduct, or p'ay for, at least 8
boxing or wrestling contests this
summer, each contest shall in-
clude afee of $51.00 for the
night use of the Ball Park. Mr.
Fenelon also agrees to pay (A)
additional $10.00 fee per contest
as is required by Ordinance No.
4 of 1933 and (B) the entire cost
of current for lights used by him
at each contest. Mr. Fenelon
further agrees to furnish a cash

tee to comply with all conditions
of the contract.
(2) Proposal from Mr, H. A. Engel
of Dubuque, Iowa, offering, in
line with the notice of bidders,
to pay $30.00 per night for use
of the Ball Parlc. It is also as-
sumed that Mr. Engel would pay
the $10.00 additional snm for
each contest and pay far the
current for light,
The higlier bid from Mr, Fenelon
is $21.00 more per contest, or far
the 8 contests will net the City
$168.00 more than the second bid.
Accordingly, the writer recom-
mends the acceptance of the higher
bid and suggests that a contract be
authorized to be drawn and exec-
uted for these wrestling and boxing
contests during 1935.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council.
Gentlemen: Replying to your com•
munication of May 17th, relative to
the payment of $100,00 to the Du-
buque Traffic Association, please be
advised that the carload shipments
received by the City Water Depart-
ment for the year of 1934 amounted
to 8ve carloads. I have checked the
carloads receivd by the City of Du-
buque, with Cletus Allen, at the City
Garage, for the year 1934, and find
they received seven carloads.
It seems that if there is any di-
rect benefit for the money paid to
the Dubuque Traffic Association that
the City of Dubuque received a
greater benefit than the Water De•
partment, and it will be only fair
to charge one-half of the bill to the
Water Department and the other
half to the City of Dubuque.

Gentlemen: Please find the fol-

on City owned property;
AREA 1. RAFFERTY SLOUGH
LOCATION.
(A) Dubuque Poster Advertising
Co. (Mr. Louis Murphy).
By verbal areement made in 1924
by Mr. 0. E. Carr, this company has
had the right to erect and maintain
billboards up to 10 in number, along
South Locust Street, provided that
one board was to be used to adver-
tise industrial sites for the City. No
rental charge was to be made for
Special Session, May 20th, 1935 139
these ten boards, as per the verbal
agreement,
By a survey today, the following
actual billboards of the Dubuque
Poster Advertising Co. are in use:
On Industrial Tract G, at south-
east corner of South Locust and
Railroad Streets, the 26 foot long
board closest to Railroad Street has
been and is still used for advertising
City owned industrial sites. Five
other Murphy sections, each 25 feet
in length and located south of the
board designated for City use, are
still erected on this lot,
On Industrial Sub, D-1, at Locust
Street near Charter Street, the Du-
buque Poster Advertising Co. has al-
so erected and has in use two large
billboards, totalling 100 feet in
length.
These above mentioned lengths
total 250 feet, whereas the portion
used for City advertising is 25 feet,
as per agreement.
(B) South of the board advertis•
ing the City industrial sites, the City
Council approved a petition from the
Thos. Flynn Oil Company to erect
a small 25 foot board for the yearly
fee of $10.00. This site was viewed
by the Council April 3rd and the
agreement was authorized by the
Council April 22nd, 1935. This board
is erected and painted, but not yet
used. The $10.00 fee for this year
is not yet paid.
(C) By Council action of Septem-
ber 6th, 1932, the Molo Oil Company
was granted the right to erect a
large billboard on the Industrial fill
east of Locust Street for the sum of
$20.00 per year. This board is on
Industrial Sub. F-2 near Camp
Street; the total length of the board
is 60 feet. The $20.00 yearly pay-
ment has been made up to Septem-
ber 12th, 1935.
(D) No other wooden sign boards
exist on Rafferty Slough. However,
by the Council action of February
4th, 1935, a request from the Erie
Cafe was granted to permit a paint-
ed advertisement on a large stone
on City owned Lot 1 of Levi's Add.
on the west side of South Locust
Street 'for $5.00 per year, The first
$5.00 was received February 7th,
1935, but as yet the former Newkirk
Filling Station sign has not been re-
moved by the Erie Cafe.
(E) A question that arose today
is as to whether or not the bill-
board, or a portion thereof, owned
by Bradley & M~aclay, north of
Southern Avenue on the west side
of Locust Street, is on Lot 14, Levi's
Add., owned by the City. Mr. John
Maclay advises that if the board is
on City property, that the same will
be moved as he purchased two lots
in the Levi Add. and two more in
Randall's Sub.
AREA 2, FOURTH STREET
LOCATION,
(A) The Julien Dubuque Hotel
Company operates a billboard on the
north side of East 4th Street on Lot
4 of Industrial Sub. No. 2. This loca-
tion is west of the Ball Park and
east of Adams Street. Authorization
far this board was made by the City
Council July 7, 1930. The yearly fee
charged is $20.00. The length oP the
present board is 40 feet. Payments
on this billboard site have been re•
ceived by the City up to July 7, 1935.
(B) The Dubuque Poster Adver-
tising Company also made a deal to
operate approximately 10 boards
just west of the Ball Park Grand-
stand on East 4th Street. A record
of this approval by the City Council
is in the November 21, 1927, min-
utes. The accepted yearly offer was
$50,00 per year, Today our investi-
gation shows that west of the Ball
Park only three billboards are still
erected, These boards are located
on (a) 25' section on Lot 3, Indus-
trial Sub. No, 2;,and (b) 50' section
on Lot 7, Industrial Sub. No. 2. An-
other present 75' section is now lo-
cated east of the Ball Park and near
Pine Street and is immediately east
of the Ball Park fence. This section
is new and has been substituted by
the Dubuque Poster Advertising
Company when their former several
boards were relgoved from Blocli 22
of the Dubuque Harbor Improvement
Company's Addition just west of the
Ball Park, or where the present
parking space is used for the pat-
rons at the Ball Park, While in 1927
the agreement permitted as many as
ten boards, or 250 feet of length, to-
day there is in use 150 feet or six
boards. Payments have been made
on this agreement to November 2,
1934. The delay since November 2,
1934, in this year's payment has
been discussed with Mr, A, F.
Schrup. Mr. Schrup has requested
us to wait until Mr. Louis Murphy
returns to Dubuque again.
(C) Three small individual signs,
viz, Julien Dubuque Hotel 8' x 10',
Bright Light Sign Company 4' x 6'
and Ed, Bartel's Cabins 3' x 5' are
notiv in use on the north sidewalk of
East 4th Street just west of Tower
Street. No authority is on record
for any permission of these three
Signs,
(D) Two other small signs are at
present on City owned Lot 9, Indus-
trial Sub. 2, These signs are adver-
tising the Diamond Cafe 2' x 5' and
the Barnsdall Oil Company 8'x10',
No authority is on record for these
two signs,
i
140 Special Session,
(E) Another 60 foot sign of the
Mole Oil Company is located south
of the Ball Park. Mr. Bart Molo is
away today. We have not yet deter-
mined whether the actual location is
on a City street, possibly on Bell
and Wall Street intersection, or on
private property. However, the own-
er of private property at this point,
Mr. Jos, Rhomberg, advised that no
deal was made with him for this sign
board. An, agreement should be im-
mediately made with the Molo Oil
Company for this use.
AREA 3. GARFIELD AVENUE
LOCATION.
Present signboards on lots taken
aver by the City for non-payment of
taxes and assessments are located
on Lots 2 and 3, McCraney's 1st
Add., at east side of Garfield Ave-
nue, south of Marshall Street, These
signboards are apparently owned by
the Dubuque Poster Advertising
Company. Four signs, 25 feet each
in length, are erected. This property
was formerly owned by Frank Beu-
tin and was deeded to the City in
1927. No compensation is received
yearly and no agreement is on rec-
ord for these billboards. Mr. Beutin
is still living on City awned Lot 8,
south of these lots, or at Dock and
Garfield. He pays no rent. Another
lot used Par a small living quarter is
approximately Lot 4. Mr. Chalders,
the renter, pays rent to Mr, Beutin,
the former owner, we are advised to•
day, This question should be deter-
mined.
MISCELLANEOUS SIGNS.
A few additional small signs are
discovered as being located on City
street or sidewalk areas, principally
on Rockdale Road, Lincoln Avenue
and Rhomberg Avenue. No author
ity is on record for these.
Since these various questions have
arisen, it seems advisable to recom•
mend an investigation to be made as
to the use or rental of all properties
now owned or deeded to the City.
The City may be losing revenues
from tenants or not securing rentals
from property now owned by the
City. A complete list of tax sale
certificates should also be prepared
and kept on record.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Towa.
Gentlemen; By a phone call last
evening Mr. Ed. McEvoy, member of

quested that the City Garage be
authorized to provide gasoline for
this Board while they were making
local investigations .Accordingly, the
writer has instructed the City Gar-
age to furnish gasoline for this
Board, The same will be charged to
the budget.
The reason for writing this letter
is that last year this authority was

Council to continue this service.
