Re: RECOMMENDATION FOR AN
ARCHITECT ON SWIMMING
POOL
Gentlemen: In connection with
the new W. P. A. Swimming Poo]
Project approved by Mr. Wm. L.
= Yokom, District Director, For a total
of $60,435.47, it would seem that the
Swimming Peol contract should be
revised with Mr. C. I. Krajewski,
the architect.
On September 6, 1935, a contract
was made tivith Mr. Krajewski, as
authorized by the City Council, on
the basis that Mr. Krajewski would
furnish plans, specifications and pro•
vide service of inspection during the
pool construction on the basis of
not to exceed 5% of the total cost
of the pool, etc., but also limited to
a condition that prior to actual
start of the pool construction, a
final agreement be executed with
the architect as to terms of pay
ment to said architect.
Five per cent (5%) of the present
project sum, now set at $60,435.47,
nrou]d amount to $3,021.77,
The outline of the W. P. A. ap•
proved project is different than the
P. W. A. plan. Mr. Yoltum, as Di•
rector, will supply certain proper
supervisors of this Project, the City
will also provide certain engineer-
ing service, and the architect's du-
ties will not be so great as was
contemplated under the P. W. A,
plan.
Accordingly, Mr. Krajewski has
agreed to reduce his former fee from
slightly over $3,000 to $1,800 on the
basis that he will still prepare any
additional plans and specifications
for: ••••
(aJ The Swimming Pool
(b) The S m a 11 e r Bath House
complete.
(c) Purification System For Water
Supply.
(d) All Plumbing Arrangements.
(e) Fence, Concrete Walks, etc.
(f) Miscellaneous Details to fully
complete and operate the pool.
Mr. Krajewski will also provide
special engineering, plumbing and
filtration service, as well as partial
supervision for the bath house puri•
fication details and the entire
project.
The complicated, necessary ar-
rangements for sanitary operation
of a Swimming Pool are vital. Mr.
Krajewski has already spent about
.$700.00 without payment from the
City for the same, on three different
P. W. A, denied pool plans. Now
that Nir. Krajewski has agreed to
provide this necessary service for
$1,800, which is slightly less than
3.00% of the total cost of the entire
project, it is my recommendation
that his fee of $1,800 be accepted,
as was tentatively agreed upon by
the Council Novomber 27th.
As to a method of paying this
$].,800 to the architect, Mr, Krajews•
]ti's request is that 25% of his fee
be paid during the Progress of his
Session, December 2nd, 1935 275
work on the plans and the balance
upon the completion of plans and
specifications,
It is my recommendation that the
25% of the $1,800 be paid as quick-
ly as possible and that a portion
of the 75% of the $1,800 be paid
during the actual construction and
the final portion be paid upon pro
per operation of the pool equipment.
It is also recommended that a
definite new contract be executed~
with Mr. Krajewski, based on the
the City of Dubuque that the follow-
ing application be and the same is
hereby approved and it is ordered
that the premises to be occupied by
such applicant shall be Forthwith
inspected:

To the honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen; Trouble has arisen
during the last few years in our
traffic lights due to excessive heat
caused by the former 60 watt globes
in the lights. The trouble was due
to the contact fingers being burned
off and damaged. '
In order to eliminate this condi-
Lion, we have now changed part of
the globes from 60 watts to 40 watts,
It is believed that the 40 watt lamps
will be cheaper and cause less dam-
age to the traffic signals,
Changes made to date, tvith re-
duction in power costs, authorized
by the Interstate Power Company,
include:
9th and Main- Per yr. Per yr,
Reduced from $200 to $168
7th and Main-
Reduced from 200 to 168
8th 'and Main-
Reduced from 20D to 168
8th and Locust-
Reduced from 200 to 168
14th and Locust-
Reduced from 200 to 168
20th and Central-
Reduced from 150 to 120
Past Yearly Costs....$1,150
New Yearly Rates ......................$960
As quickly as the additional 60
watt globes burn out in the 4th and
Main Street lights and in the 14th
and Central Avenue lights, these
will also be replaced with 40 watt
globes, The total saving in power
for these eight sets of traffic signals
will bo $254.00 per year, Costs will
be further reduced by smaller globe
purchase Imices and we hope the re-
placement of materials in the sig-
nals will also bo reduced.
The smaller type of globe was re-
cently recommended by the General
Electric officials. Their original sug-
gestion was for the 60 watt globes
wlon the signals were ordered.
It is requested that your approval
be made as fo this plan of provid-
ing better and continuous traffic sig-
nal serrice.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M, EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schiltz moved that
the recommendation of City Man•

December 5, 1935.
To the .Honorable 14Ia.yor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The writer was re-
quested and did meet witl Mr. H,
A. Haupotli, the new operator of
the Maizewood Corn Stalk Plant to•
day.
Mr. Haupotli made the following
requests:
Session, December 1935 ~^
That Charter Street from Main
Street west to Salina Street be filled
in as quickly 'as possible; that cin-
ders be placed immediately on this
same area to provide proper en-
trance to his plant from Main
Street; that the rubbish be cleaned
up east of the plant where dumping
has occurred for some time; that
hi0 sewer connection be checked;
and that weeds be eliminated from
along Salina Street. We have agreed
to start and finish this general
cleaning up and necessary road pro-
vision as quickly as Possible.
Further conditions as requested
by Mr. Hauptli, under the Council's
authority, are:
1, That a street light be placed
on Salina Street near the Charter
Street intersection. At present there
are no city street lights on Salina
Street between Dodge Street and
Railroad Street (3 blocks). It is
recornmeuded that one 400 C.P, over-
head light, costing $46.00 per year,
be authorized by the Council for im-
mediate use.
2. That the Council grant to the
Maizewood Company the right to
store a comparatively small volume
of corn stalks on the city owned
pyrolierty east of 'Morrison Street
and close to the southwest end of
this plant. It was stated that no
large volume of cm•n stalks would
be brought into the city, as was a
former fire hazard when the large
corn stalk piles were used. The
large volumes will be stored in the
country and brought into the city by
small amounts as needed. Accord-
ingly, the authorization of use of
but a small city area will provide
for this storage request on a por-
tion of the west section bf city
owned, Section B of the Industrial
Sub.
The Maizewood Plant is now be-
ing repaired and improved by .a
large number of local mechanics.
Shortly the operation of this plant
will start,
Will you kindly take action on
these two outlined requests?
Respectfully submitted,
R. M, EVANS,
City Manager.

To the Ionorable Mayor and Citl
Council, Dubuque, Towa.
Qentlemen: A local minister fel
on the northeast corner of the inter
section of White Street and 20th
Street late one eight this week. He
was not seriously injured, but re-
ported that when the filling station
lights, ou Ceutrai Avenue and 20th
Street, were turned off, that White
and 20th Street was very dark.
No present street light is installed
at this intersection. This summer,
after the traffic signal was installed
at 20th and Central, `ve had to paint
the east side of the globe of the
boulevard light on the west side of
Central Avenue at 20th Street. The
purpose of the painting of this globe
`vas to Permit drivers at night tb
see the new traffic signal equipped
with only 40-watt globes. The farmer
installed boulevard light bas one 600
watt globe and was almost in direct
line behind the traffic signal and ser-
iously interferred with traffic com-
ing west on 20th from White to
Central.
This distance from Central Ave-
nue to Jackson Street, especially
near 20th Street, is rather short.
However, due to blanking the Cen-
tl'al Avenue light, and due to un-
familiar traffic on Federal Route 61,
it is apparent that a light should be
installed on White Street at 20t1
Street.
N[y recommendation is that a
small, 100 C.P., overhead, new,
street, all-night lamp be authorized
by the Council for this location, the
same to cost $24.00 per year. Tho
saving by the authorized removal of
the unnecessary 3-25 watt globe sig-
nal at Rhomberg Avenue at the Chi-
cago Great Western Railroad cross-
ing will more than pay this addition-
al cost.

The only bid received was from
the White-Phillips Company. Attach-
ed is the proposal signed by Mr,

action by °the City officials.
The analysis of the total premium
offered and accepted, 4n addition to
the payment of specified interest to
date, also paid, includes:
Premium of $92,50 per $1,000 of
the. 24 bonds = $2,220.00.

Gentlemen: The Planning and
Zoning Commissfon have received a
petition from the property owners
in the block of lots shown on the
enclosed plat requesting that this
portion of aTwo-Family Residence
District be rezoned to Multiple-
Family Residence District. As this
is a logical extension of the Mul-
tiple-Residence District existing at
West 5th and Hill Streets and is in
line with the development of this
block into Multiple-Family Build-
ings, we recommend to your Honor-
able Body that Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
and 8, all in Demming & Horr's Ad-
dition, be rezoned from Two-Family
Residence District to Multiple-Fam-
ily Residence District.

To the Honorable Maycr and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Concerning the letter
from Mr. Louis Lorenz which you
referred to the Planning and Zoning
Commission on October 7th, we wish
to advise that our Board acted ad-
versely on a similar request direct-
ed to the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission at a previous meeting held
October 7th, However, your com-
munication was again read at our
regular December meeting Tuesday,
December 3, 1935, and after further
study and discussion, it was unanim•
ously agreed that no new paints had
been presented to alter the Commis•
sion's original stand on the matter.
There appears a grave danger that
a Four Apartment House as pro-
posed might develop into a blight on
the present attractive two-family
district. Remodeling into atwo-fam-
ily residence would cost Mr. Lorenz
less money, and eventually would
work out for the general good of
the neighborhood.
Assuring you of our readiness and
willingness to confer further either
`vith City. Council or Mr. Lorenz on
this matter, we remain,
Yours very truly,
PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION,

in its language and may result in de-

tained; and
Whereas, in order tp make plain
the attitude of this Council with ref-
erence to the matter approved by it:
Be it resolved that the practice
of discriminating among workers on
account of age be discontinued if
such practice exists.
Be it further resolved that the
practice of denying opportunity to
work on W. P, A, projects of men
who were not on relief on May 1,
1935, but who are now on relief or
in such financial condition that they
need relief, be discontinued and that
no discrimination be made in such
cases, providing such practice exists.
Be it further resolved that the
Council recommends to Federal offi-
cials in charge of W. P. A, projects
in Iowa to increase wage scales paid
to W. P. A. workers beyond the
scale now fixed if such increase can
be made without detriment to the
projects or the Federal funds allo-
cated for projects of such character.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
your instructions as to the analysis
of the two bids received for the Ele-
vated 750,000 Gallon Water Tank at
10 o'clock today, please be advised
that Mr. George Griffith of the P.
W. A. Administration, City Water
Works officials and the writer have
carefully checked all the questions
that were to be filled in by the two
bidders. We have found that both
proposals are fully outlined and are
apparently complete projects.
It ie our recommendation that the
cheaper price, namely from the
Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Com-
1 y;~;~,
ecial Session, December ~, 1935 293
pang for the sum of $57,726.00 be ac-
cepted and the contract tentatively
awarded on the basis of the original
proposal, Items A, B and C, and if
necessary changes have to be made
in this proposal, we also can state
that the Alternate A, as bid upon
regarding concrete foundation, is
slightly cheaper as bid by the Pitts-
burgh-Des Moines Steel Company.
The second alternate varies $3.00 per
foot of column height by the two
bidders, but the bid of the Pitts-
bnrgh-Des Moines Steel Company is
$3.00 more per foot if the height is
shortened as we anticipate may have
to be done.
Accordingly, the total original bids
and all the alternates are to our ad-
vantage from the Pittsburgh-Des
Moines Steel Company.
This tentative award today by the
City Council is on the basis of the
approval of the State Director of the
P. W. A. Prior to the final award of
the contract by the Council.
Outline of two bids, including Sec-
tions A, B and C, Pittsburgh-Des

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At our special meet-
ing December 13th, at which time
the resolution approving proposed
site of new 750,000 gallon Water
Tauk was passed by our Commis-
sion, the general discussion devel•
oped same sYmPathy for the views
of Mr. Wunder and Mr. Gauvin, ad-
value gof theirt properties would the
adversely affected,
The Commission studied the situa-
tion and agreed that the purchase of
the two lots between the proposed
site and College Street so that the
Water Department would have full
control and care of the entire site
to College Street, would practically
remove such objections. With the
tower at the back of the property
from West Third Street, close to the
middle of the east-west line of the
five lot area, and the proposed beau-
tifying of the general site, the entire
project could be made very attrac-
tive.
Thus, the Planning and Zoning
Commission takes the liberty to rec•
ommend to City Council that the
two lots- in question be acquired if
possible and added to the present
site.

Gentlemen: Saturday, December
t 21st, we received the twelfth 1935,
~,.~.
296 Special Session, December 23rd, 1935
monthly, tax return from the Du-
buque County Treasurer. This De-
cember total payment was $32,012.19
and includes city taxes collected in
November, 1935. Wo receive all
monthly payments about three weeks
after the end of the previous month.
Following is a statement of total
city yearly tax levies to be collect-
ed by the County officials and actual
,returns made to the City during past
calendar years. This is not a com-
parative statement of actual yearly
levies and collections per year by
the County, but it is a cornparison
of the levies and amounts received
each calendar year by the City. Var-
iation, per year, in levies is not large
and the purpose of this outline is to
indicate approximately our delin-
quency in taxes to date.
over the title to said properties and
no payments made far one year later.
Local banks in many other cities are
loaning- money for tax collections,
Every possible effort to encourage
payment of delinquent special as•
sessments is also required.
A further analysis of the 1935 col-
lections indicate that of the total
levy (=$G08,986), the percentage of
total collections (=$571,338.33) was
93.82%• However, delinquent taxes
in this total of $571,338.33 collected
were aver $45,000, showing that to
date our current yearly collections
are still about $83,000 under the
levy.
If further information or assist-
ance is determined by the Council,
every possible effort shall be made

The shrinkage of $284,685.93 since
1928 will never all be collected. This
includes levies on certain property
on which taxes were cancelled by
the Council and certain reductions
after the date of levies were also
authorized.
If 50%, or around $140,000, could
be collected in our delinquency, it
would provide for the $75,000 trans-
fer to the Sinking Fund, also help in
our needed funds to purchase tax
sales pertaining to delinquent special
assessments and for excess expendi-
tures on assistance to relief projects
for 1935 and previous years. Our
old street equipment is rapidly going
to pieces.
In certain other U. S, cities per-
sonal contacts with tax delinquents
have recently resulted in far better
collections. Surely every possible
effort should be made immediately
to assist the Dubuque County otR-
cials to encourage payment of de-
linquent taxes, rather than having
the necessity of the County taking
to encourage the partial elimination
of our delinquency,
