September 18, 1935.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is a sum-
mary of comparisons of yearly in-
debtedness, as of April 1st, for the
City of Dubuque, since 1919.
Division has been made as to Gen-
eral, Water and Dock indebtedness.
The statement includes total out-
standing debts, less actual sinking
funds and the net indebtedness of
both the General and Water funds.
The Dock Bond retirement plan does
not include a sinking fund, as each
year a definite number of bonds are
planned to be, and have been re-
tired.
The Grand total of the three types
of bonds shows that the peak of the
net total indebtedness was in 1928.
Since then the total net indebted-
ness has been reduced yearly, ex-
cept in the year 1931. In regard to
General Indebtedness, the net total
as of April 1, 1935 was but $9,241.42
more than April 1, 1919, Now, more
than the $9,241.42 has been added
to the Sinking Fund so that at pres-
ent the net Genera] Indebtedness of
the City is less than in 1919.
Respectfully admitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schiltz moved to re-
fer the communication of City Man-
ager Evans, with attached summary,
to the City Council for considera-
tion. Seconded by Councilman Jaeg-

September 4,1936.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the regular meet-
ing of the City Council September
3, 1936, a verbal discussion arose as
to the past and present methods oY
employing and working the five
Water Plant Engineers and the
Chief Water Plant Engineer. The
basis of unfair service was that
these six employees of the Water
Plants have been required to work
seven days per week, or every day
of the year, except during their two
weeks' vacation.
The decision of the City Council,
upon the recommendation of the
Water Superintendent and the City
Manager, was that an immediate
change be made in the required
working days per week for these
six employees; that the seven day
basis be changed to a six day period
and that each of the engineers be
allowed one day off duty per week,
including a two weeks' vacation. The
present budget rate of salary is to
be continued to each of the six en-
gineers and, if necessary, another
engineer, with proper experience, is
to be added to the Water Plant
force.
The purpose of this letter is to
have this decision made a matter
of record, in this emergency case.
Yours very truly,
