Absent-Mayor Kane. May 10, 1934. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa, Gentlemen: On February 15th a letter from Mr. H. J. Gill, President of the Board of Education, was pt'e• seated to the Council requesting that the City furnish 560 feet of 15" the pipe and about 500 feet of 18" the to provide drainage across property owned by the Board of Education south of the Senior High School and east of Avoca Street. The new pipe would provide drainage from the ex• fisting pipes under Avoca Street across a new playground site lead- ing eastwardly to Rosedale Avenue near Atlantic Street. The location of this requested storm sewer extension was viewed by the Council May 9th with a rep• resentative of the School Board present, Mr. George Mehl. The de• cision was that no funds existed far the seven or eight hundred dollars required for the cost of this pipe, i^. ~;d ~ t'd~ ~ ~I h,II k'r '+1i I~;;i ji Lyr Yj. ~. ~', 164 Special Session, May 23rd, 1934 Accordingly, no action teas taken to authorize this request, Yours very truly, R.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa, Gentlemen: In connection with the proposed emergency pumping equip- ment at Kaufman Avenue Water Plant; please be advised that, in con• nection with your authority, the deter inedatpricestpsecuredaandbthe contract is awarded. Our original estimate on the equipment tvas $5,000.00. Two sets of informal proposals were received from De Laval Tur• bins Company, Allis-Chalmers and the American Well Works. The first set of proposals included one-2 single stage pump in series operated by a 225 H. P. gasoline engine. Prices ranged from $4,280,00 to $5,000,00. It was then discovered that the National Board of Fire Underwriters demand that 1600 R. P. M, be the maximum speed for operation of a gasoline engine and all three first proposals exceeded that speed. The reason for this excess speed in the gasoline engine was to pt•ovide our original plan of a future electric motor to be connected to this new emergency pump in order that this new pump could be operated by both gasoline and electric power. Accordingly, it was determined that due to the excessive head and small size of main from plant to standpipes, that it tivas impossible to provide a suitable ptnnp that could be operated by both gasoline and electric power. Onr second set of proposals includ- ed only details for a gasoline engine and pump to be operated only by gasoline power at an approved speed, Prices included: De Laval Proposal 1.2 stage centrifugal pump, 8" sue tion, 6" discharge, 1600 R. P. M. and 1 Climax Blue Streak 230 H. P Gasoline Engine, P, 0. B, Dttbuqu -$3,992.00. Allis-Chalmers Proposal 1.2 stage centrifugal pump, 10' suction, 8" discharge, 16D0 R, P M., and 1 Sterling ,Gasoline 230 H. P. Engine, F. 0. B. Dubuque- $3,565.00. American Well Works Proposal 1-2 stage centrifugal pump, 8" suc• tion, 6" discharge, 1600 R. P. M., and 1 Sterling Gasoline 230 H. P. Engine, F. 0, B. Dubuque- $3,480.00. The lowest bid, viz. American Well Work, for $3,480.00 was accepted May 10th, 1934 and the order was placed. This company will work through the A, Y. McDonald Mfg. Company of Dubuque, Iowa, The order includes a guarantee for one year of 1400 gallons Per minute of water against a total dynamic- head of 360 feet. The installation of this equipment will occur about July 10th, 1934, fol• lowing complete tests on the engine and pump at the factory. Yottrs very truly, R, M. EVANS, City Manager. Cottucilman Schiltz moved that the communication of City Manager Evans be made a matter of record, Seconded by Councilman Jaeger, Cat•ried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Pro Tem Thompson, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jaeger and Schiltz.

May 23, 1934, To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa, Gentlemen: On May 17th the writ- er tvaa advised that damage had been done to the home of Mrs. Cath- erine 1Veber, 1906 Pierce Street, by blasting done during last winter on C. W. A. projects on the lots on the east side of Pierce Street south of West Locust Street. The follow- ing day Mrs. Weber phoned me and yesterday she came to the City Hall and advised that the damage in• eluded the following: plaster cracked in ceilings in three upstairs rooms and two downstairs rooms, one crack reported in chimney and a hole re• ported in chimr}ey, plaster reported cracked on side walls of clothes closet upstairs, three upstairs windows re• ported broken, one downstairs win• dow reported broken, bole reported in roof over the kitchen. The questidn was asked as to when this damage occurred and the answer was "at the beginning of the blasting." Mrs. Weber was also asked why, if the damage had oc• • curred, no report had been made e prior to this and she stated that she did not realize that so much damage was done until her house- cleaning was finished. It is the writer's suggestion that Special Session, May 23rd, 1934 16S this matter be carefully investigated and further reported. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Andelfinger moved that the matter of damage done to the home of Mrs. Catherine Weber, 1906 Pierce Street, caused by blasting on C. W. A. projects be referred to the City Manager to make thorough in• veatigation and report back to the City Council. Seconded by Council- man Schiltz. Carried by the follow- ing vote: Yeas-Mayor Pro Tem Thompson, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jaeger and Schiltz, Nays-None, Absent-Mayor Kane. May 23, 1934. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa, Gentlemen: On March 2, 1934, a petition signed by Alfred W. Austin, et al, on Delhi Street near the west city line, was presented to the City Council and referred to the writer for' investigation and report. The request was that due to the condi- tion caused by construction of a sanitary sewer from the extreme west city line eastwardly on the north parking of Delhi Street for about seven lots, damage has been done to the sidewalks, curb and gut• ter along said Delhi Street. Investigation and discussion with Mr. Austin yesterday indicates that the sidewalk has been rebuilt by Mr. Ulrich during his two year main- tenance guarantee. Only two places of very slight defects exist in the sidewalk or the relaid sidewalk, namely two blocks are slightly sunk- en in front of houses No. 2509 and 2495, which can be raised, and in front of house No. 2495 there is about 10 feet of twisted curb. The gutter, which is of cement, is low and rough and dangerous in spots for approximately 50% of the entire sewer length, or approxintate• ly 150 feet. It is my belief that the gutter can be repaired by a coat- ing of cement. There is sufficient fall in the gutter to prevent water standing in said repaired section of this gutter, The entire request, if approved by the Council, will not be very costly as but a few hours work will cog• rect the defects believed caused by the construction of this sewer. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Andelfinger moved that the communication of City Manager Evans be received and that the City Manager be authorized to make the necessary repairs. Second• ed by Councilman Schiltz.
