Gentlemen:
In accordance with your instruc-
tions and our advertisements, bids
were received at 10:00 a. m. Monday,
October 8, 1934, for the construc-
tion of Storm Sewers in and along
East 20th Street, Rhomberg Avenue,
Washington Street and Farragut
Street.
I am attaching hereto a tabulation
sheet showing the unit prices and
total prices bid and respectfully rec-
ommend that the contract for the
construction of said storm sewers be
awarded to the Thos. F1Ynn Coal
Company as their bid was the lowest
one received.
One additional bid was submitted
at 10:07 a. m, from Mr. Elmer Burk-
hart. One envelope, only, included
his bid and check. He stated that his
bid included a cashier's check, not a
certified check. The bid was not
opened. Mr, Burkhart was advised
that if desired his sealed bid would
be submitted to Council. However,
he stated that his total price was
higher than the bide read, He asked
that his unopened bid be rejeoted
and returned to him. This was done.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager..

October 2, 1934.
To the Honorable Mayer and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection with
the $75,000.00 transfer from the
Dubuque Bonded Debt Sinking Fund,
it seems absolutely necessary that
an application be made to the State
Comptroller for permission to delay
the repayment of this transfer for
another year,
The City Couucil, on January 15,
1934, authorized the application, by
Resolution to the State Comptroller,
fm' permission to temporarily trans-
fer $76,000.00 from the Bonded Debt
Sinking Fund as follows:-
ecial Session, October 8th, 1934 291
(a) $66,000.00 to the Consolidated
Fund.
(b) $20,000.00 to the Flre Main•
tenance Fund.
On January 10, 1934, Mr. C. B.
Murtagh, State Comptrolier, ap•
proved the transfer, conditioned up•
on (1) the City not using more of
the $75,000.00 approved transfer
than was absolutely necessary and
(2) that definite plane be made to
return thja money during the year
1934, in order that every possible
effort be made to retire bonds when
the same shall become due.
The reason for the requested
transfer in January, 1934, and the
present reason for the desired de•
lay in repaying the $76,000,00 to
the Sinking- Fund is entirely due
to the delinquency in tax collections.

Inasmuch as the Sinking Fltnd
must be intact in 1937, it would seem
that the requirement of the re-trans-
fer in 1934 is not necessary and
furthermore cannot possibly be done
unless the tax collections up to De•
cember 31, 1934, greatly increase.
Accordingly, authority of the City
Council is desired in order to make
an authorized request to the State
Comptroller for one year additional
extension of the return of the $75,000
transfer to the Sinking Fund.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,

IOWA STATUTE PROVISIONS
(1931 Code)
"6143, Regulation of rates and ser•
vice. They shall have power to re-
quire every individual or private
corporation operating such wm•lts or
plant, subject to reasonable rules
and regulations, to furnish auy per-
son applying therefor, along the line
of its pipes, mains, wires, or other
conduits, with gas, heat, water, light,
or power, and to supply said city or
town with water for fire protection,
and with gas, heat, water, light, or
power for other necessary public
purposes and to regulate and fix the
rent or rate for water, gas, heat,
light, or power; to regulate and fix
the rents or rates of water, gas, heat,
and electric light or power; to reg-
ulate and fix the charges for water
meters, gas meters, electric light or
power meters, or other device or
means necessary for determining the
consumption of water, gas, heat,
electric light or power, and these
powers shall not be abridged by or-
dinance, resolution, or contract,"
ecial Session, October 8th, 1934 293
In accordance with' the above Sec-
tion of the Cade in which the City
Council has the power to regulate
and to fix the rates for electric
light and power, it is apparent that
all rates for light and power should
be considered and approved by the
City Council and Should remain on
file for genera] information.
Another question that has been
considered is the fact that certain
rate reductions, as approved by the
City Council on Dec. 22, 1930, and
January 4, 1932, were in the form of
letters describing the reductions and
the action of the City Council was
by a motion in 1930 and by a Reso-
lution iu 1932 to approve the same,
Later, on January 22, 1934, certain
further reductions were authorized
by the City Council by an Ordin-
ance. .......................................
RECOMMENDATIONS ON LIGHT
AND POWER RATES
A. That all rates now in effect, as at
present, approved >ly motions or
Resolutions of the Council, be fur-
ther authorized by Ordinance.
B. That each and every special rate
now in effect, and not filed with
the City Council, be submitted to
the City Council and be author-
ized by an Ordinance.
C. That hereafter no special rate foi•
new or increasbd or any service
be permitted to be entered into
until the same has been sub•
mited to the City Council and
approved,
D. That hereafter all revisions in
any and all rates for light and
power shall be required to be
sulmitted to and approved by the
City Council, prior to the use of
service and ap'prbved by Ordin-
ance.
The aim of the above recommen•
dations is to guarantee that all users
of current in each and gall classes of
the same use shall be billed at the
same rate basis and that ali rates in
effect shall be approved by the Coun-
cil, as is required by law.
It has been learned from officials
of the Interstate Power Company
that their action has been to elim-
inate special rates, since their pos-
session of the Dubuque light and
power interests in 1924. In 1924 there
were numerous separate and special
rates in effect far power. The pres-
ent plan of elimination of special
rates is in strict accordance with an
agreement made by Mr. George Tay
for with the City Council, under for-
mer Mayor Wm, Meuser's adminis-
tration in 1930.

Balance, $204,220.23, Divided by Valuations in Dubuque (2-B) (includ-
ing $100,000 working capital, totalling $5,155,651.13) = 3.96%.
Estimated Return on Investment on Basis of the following described
Two Rate Reductions offered (viz, Oct. 1, 1934 and April 1, 1935) on
Commercial Lighting = $204,220.28.
less estimated loss in revenue by reductions equal to $25,500.00 = net
amount available for interest = $178,720.28 or a factor of 3.46 -1-%
return on inveatm.ent,
The present 3.96% of return on investment, and, due to the later de-
scribed rate reductions reducing the same factor to 3.46% is much less
than the factor of return that is necessary to meet bond interest alone.
No allowance was made far additional coats and lasses, not above
mentioned, including
amortization of old trolley system, and costs of moving towers,
poles and wires for new Air Port site which last item exceeded
$8,000.
F, COMPARISON OF INCOME TO TOTAL LOCAL EXPENSES,
Facts are available and can be investigated to the extent that local
gross revenue from customers tivithin the City received by the Inter-
state Power Company is less yearly than payrolls, taxes and local pur•
chases paid by the same company in Dubuque, Iowa.
IIT-RATES
A, RATE REDUCTIONS TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1934
In ~accordnace with instructions from the City Council received by the
writer in the fall of 1930, investigations were made, conferences held with
the Interstate' Power officials and a reduction in all filed rates was sub•
witted to and approved by City Council on December 22, 1930.
Later, another set of reductions in Residence Lighting, Optional Resi-
dence Lighting, Commercial Lighting and Gity Street Lighting was obtained
and approved by City Council January 4, 1932.
Again on January 22, 1934, a redaction in Residence Lighting and Op•
tional Residence Lighting Rates, together with a reduction in penalty from
$.Ol per K.W.H, to 10% of bill fol• both. the Residence and Optional rates
was presented and approved by the City Council,
In December 1930 a promise ss~as made by Mr. George Taylor that, as
Session, October 8th, 1934 295
quickly as possible, light and power rates would be reduced in Dubuque.
Since 1930, three reductions~in each of Residence and Optional Rates, to-
gether with changes in penalties on bath, one reduction in Small Power
Rate, two reductions in Commercial Lighting and reductions in Street
Lighting Cost have produced the following savings;-
SAVINGS BY CUSTOMERS AND TAXPAYERS THROUGH
LIGHT AND POWER REDUCTIONS
From January 1, 1931 to August 31, 1934
Savings in Residence Lighting (Small ..................$120,170,84

Savings in Commercial Lighting .............................. 40,D34.78
Savings in Small Power .............................................. 5,577,00
Savings in Large Power ............................................ 39,498.57
' Savings in Street Lighting ...................................... 11,166.4D
TOTAL ACCRUED SAVINGS OBTAINED IN 44
MONTHS ..................................................................$216,447.59
The Savings to customers for the last 12 months on present basis of
Usage and Equipment as Compared to Rates in Effect Dec, 1930, amounts
to approximately $100,000,00 per year. The proposed two reductious of
,$25,500 in Commercial Lighting will increase this reduction per year to
approximately $125,000.
The results, since 1930, in Residence Lighting reductions apply to the
greatest number of customers and the largest factor of revenue. The pro-
posed savings in Commercial Lighting will also apply to the next largest
factor of revenue from present service.

CONCLUSION
It is the writer's recommendation
that the proposed two (2) Commer•
cial Lighting Reduced Rates, as
above outlined and described, be ap•
proved by the City Council by Or•
dinance.
With splendid co-operation from
the present officials of the Inter•
state Power Company, my opinion
based on present new promises and
assurances from those in authority,
is that additional reductions in var•
ious classes of rates will be made
as quickly as conditions and earn- ~.
ing shall warrant. Even at this
time, further studies are being made
in an attempt to forcast future
changes in certain other rates.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schiltz moved that the
recommendation of City Manager
Evans be approved and the City

October 19, 1934,
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In connection `vith the
report from the City Manager dated
October 6th, which was referred to
the City Council October 8th, please
be advised that the action to the
City Council is as follows:
The Gity Solicitor; Mr. Czizek, has
prepared an Ordinance fixing rates
for light and power service which
will apply to each and every custom-
er in the City of Dubuque from and
after October 1, 1934, and one spe-
cial rate for commercial lighting that
will be effecteive April 1, 1935.
These detailed rates have been
. carefully checked. The officials from
the Interstate Power Company have
made the statement that absolutely
no increase in any rate has occurred.
I verify this statement after a care-
ful check.
My analysis of the entire rate or•
dinance includes the following infor-
mation:
Rates that have been previously
filed with the City Council include
the fallowing schedules; 1, 2, 6-a,
6-b, 7 and 9. Rates that have not
been previously filed with the Coun-
cil include schedules 3, 4, 5, 8, 10,
11 and 12.
DESCRIPTION
SCHEDULE 1.
RESIDENCE SERVICE.
Includes a statement as follows:
"Where residence service is meas-
ut•ed to apartment buildings through
one meter, service shall be billed at
the residence service rate, the blocks
of energy of which shall be multi-
plied by the number of apartments
served, etc:' This has never been
stated previously, but there has been
a statement as follows: "The resi-
dence lighting rate shall apply strict-
ly to single homes. or single apart-
ments," No change is apparent in
Schedule 1 since March 1934,
SCHEDULE 2.
RESIDENCE SEAVICE-
OPTIONAL
The same notation on blocks of
energy is included in the optional
residence service as is in the resi-
dence service Schedule 1. The same
previously mentioned description
that optional service includes only
single family homes is also in prev-
ious statements on rate reductions.
No change is apparent in Schedule 2
since March 1934.
SCHEDULE 3.
COMMERCIAL SERVICE-
OPTIONAL
This rate provision includes cer-
tain commercial service where pow-
er service is included therewith not
in excess of one horsepower. This is
'a new rate schedule, However, the
costs of current and the minimum in
Schedule 3 is exactly the same as in
Schedule 2 above mentioned and op-
tional service was applicable to sev-
eral commercial institutions as men-
tioned in Ordinance S•34 passed Jan-
uary 22, 1934,
SCHEDULE 4.
RESIDENCE WATER HEATING
SERVICE
This rate was never filed before
with the City Council. ,
SCHEDULE 5,
COMMERCIAL WATER HEATING
SERVICE.
This rate was never filed before
with the City Council.
SCHEDULE 6-a.
COMMERCIAL SERVICE,
Includes the described rate reduc-
tion effective October 1, 1934, for
commercial service. In addition to
the reduction in energy service,
there is also a new clause in this
schedule which reduces the former
lc per KWH penalty for non-pay-
ment within ten days from date of
bill to a flat 10% penalty on the
basis of the energy charge,
SCHEDULE 6-b.
COMMERCIAL SERVICE,
Includes the second revision in the
Commercial Service that will be ef-
fective April 1, 1935, This also in•
304 Special Session, October 19th, 1934 Special Session, October 19th, 1934 3OS
-_ eludes the continued reduction in
the penalty clause on the basis of
the 10% rather than the lc per
KWH.
SCHEDULE 7.
GENERAL POWER SERVICE
Includes no change in the energy
charges, but does include a reduction
in the minimum monthly bill effec-
tive October 1, 1934, by which the
former minimum of $1.D0 per horse-
power of installed equipment has
been reduced to $1.00 per horse-
power of installed equipment up to
and including the first 5 horsepower
and thereafter 50c per horsepower.
Additional reduction in this Sehe-
dule 7 also includes the change in
penalty to 10% of the energy rate
rather than lc per KWH,
SCHEDULE 8.
COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION
SERVICE.
This is a new rate which has nev
er been filed before with the City
Comrcil.
SCHEDULE 9.
INDUSTRIAL POWER SERVICE.
No change in the demand m• en-
ergy charges is included. This rate
was effective in January 193E How-
