Also recommended that the sewer on
Olive street he made a part of the sewer-
age system of the city.
Also reported in favor of having the as-
sessment for sewer in Dorgan's alley
levied. Report adopted.
Also made the following report:
To the (Aty Courteil•:
At a previous session you adopted a
resolution requesting my legal opinion as
to whether the city had the power to fix
and regulate by ordinance the charges for
telephone service.
lhavelound no little difficulty in reaching
a satislactory solution of your proposition.
It would, perhaps,at this it nae serve no use-
ful purpose to enter upon it discussion of
the legal phases of the question or the cita-
tiou of legal authority. It is results—con-
clusions, which the council are after, not
legal argument, 1 find that on August 7th,
1882 the city council adopted an ordinance
granting to the Western Telephone
company its successors and assigns
a tranchise to erect poles and
wires and maintain a telrphone ex-
change in Dubuque. This ordinance is
silent as to telephone rates and charges. it
does not attempt to fix the rates nor does it
confer upon the city council to fix or regu-
late them. Whatever may be said as to the
wisdom of the ordinance at the time of its
adoption, it certainly now has become ap-
pareul to every one that the ordinance is
detective in this particular. 'Prue, a simi-
lar franchise may be granted to another
teleuhone company which might have it
tendency to produce a healthy competition
for the business and thereby lower rates.
An exclusive or perpetual franchise can
not be granted by municipal corporations,
and wben they have been granted, the
courts have almost invariably refused to
give effect to them. It is well understood,
however, that the telephone patents are so
owned and controlled that good -faith com-
petition is next to impossible. if this
be true, then the present telephone
company, looking at his liberal franchise
alone, may charge any sum it pleases for
telephone services. This would surely
be un just. The telephone, like gas ,water,
ream heating, telegraphy and electric
lighting, has become one of the modern
necessaries of commercial life. Members
Of the city council who claim to have in-
vestigated the question, say that the rates
now charged for telephone service are un-
reasonably high—out of all proportion to
the capital invested and expenses of opera-
tion. Your resolution asking my legal
Opinion imports a like conclusion. Many
claim that the rates ought to be reduced
50 per cent.. If this be true then a great
wrong is being perpetrated upon our peo-
tile. For every wrong there ought to be
it remedy. Ilnliire private corpora-
tions and individuals, [lie telephone:
like the street and steam railroad, and ott-
er public agencies is tete creature of pub-
lic favor. It has its poles and wires lit
and over the public streets and alleys and
has other public privileges, all granted and
permitted by authority of lite city. 'Tilt,
telephone would be a useless invention
without the aid of the city. If the city
council were given the power in the ordi-
nance to fix :laid regulate telephone cuarges
it could not lax and enforce an unreasona-
blv low rate any more than the telephone
ciitnpany could charge and enforce all un-
reasonably high rate for service. The rule
as laid down by the highest courts is that
the charge shall be reasonabb•, taki-ng into
account the capital invested and the ex-
pense o1 operation and :u►y and all other
facts and circumstances which may be
reasonably proper to consider.
This has been the conlusion reached by
the courts in construing the recently en-
acted railroad freight legislation in tl►is
state. To be sure, this council has no
power excepting such as is conferred by
our special charter laid the subsequent en-
actment of the state legislature applying to
special charter cities like Dubuque. At
the time of the adoption of our special
charter in 1857 the aeiephone like electric
street railways and many other modern in-
ventious, was unheatred lit iudeed, 1 think
in 1882, wben the ordinance wits granted,
the telephone was in its infancy. Perhaps
this was the reason why the then clay
council failed to take the precaution
which now seems important to
the the people. But the legisla-
ture of the state, 22nd general assembly,
like ourselves, has evidently been consider-
ing this apparently vexed question lit
rates and charges for telephone and other
kindred services. And upon it hurried
reading of the act one would be likely to
conclude that they had conferred upon
certain cities the power to hxand regulate
telephone charges. 1 am free to admit
that when 1 first read the act I canoe to
this conclusion. And 1 am as free to co -n -
less now that 1 am in doubt as to the
meaning of the law, or as to what the
legislators hand in mind when they en-
acted it. It is a chapter 16 of the Acts
of the 'Twenly.Second General As-
sembly, adopted April 10 1888. The
title of the law is, 'An act granting ad-
ditional powers to certain cities of the
first class and to cities organized under
special charters and to cities of the second
class having over 7,000 inhabitants.' The
act is a very lengthy one containing about
fifty distinct additional powers upon the
cities mentioned. That part of it material
to an understanding of the question before
us reads as tollows:
Section 1. That all cities * * * or-
ganized unuer special charters in this state

powers conferred by this stet, its follows,

electric wires, and provide the manner in

and to regulate and fix charges for water.

Observe that the language used is, to say t
the leastof it, doubtful and Uncertain. In r
fact the whole act is full of doubt and un- f
certainty of meaning. The power given
is to "tix the charges * * * for making
telephone connections." What this
language means is hard to tell. it may 1
mean One thing to one person and to an-
other It has a different menning. It has i
not that clear and satisfactory meaning;
which would justify ole in advising the
conneil to enact aiid undertake to enforce

the state will be in session in a few days
and i would recommend that the ordi-
nanee committee draft a bill and that this
council aik the representatives from this
county to introduce It and ask its passage
by the legislature.
This call be done im mediately if so de-
sired by the council, and in the meantime
I would recommend that the matter of
dratting an ordinance regulating tele-
phonechaiges be referred to tile ordinance

upon the subject.

A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR.
Mayor Saunders submitted the following
message and resolution to the Council oh
the qu estion of water supply.
To the Members of the City Connell:
I call your attention to the service given
by the Dubuque Water company.
Fust, the water company does not sup-
ply the water where needed and has not
complied with the resolutions of the coun-
cil.
Second, the city hi obliged by the word-
ing of a one-sided and onerous charter to
pay more for water—yes, almost twice the
amount that cities similarly situated pay—
:laid yet has no water for fire protecLwai, at
least no direct pressure, and it puts the
city, herefore, to an additional expense of
$20,000 per year for maintaining fire steam-
ers.
1 will only for instance compare with
our neighbor, the city of Davenport.
Dubuque pays $60 a hydrant for uarely
enough water to supply a lire steamer;
Davenport uays $40 per hydrant ail([ has
direct pressure and no use for fire
steamers.
Why must It be so, that the city of Du-
buque is annually wrouaed of at. least
$25,000 of illt! taxpayers' money ? Will not
the members of this council stand up for
the rights and interests of the city, and
make the antiquated system known as the
Dubuque Water works at least keep up
with tate improvements of the time and
Put in a system that will at least save tate
ciLy the unnecessary expense of buying
and maintanrg fire steamers.
According to the charter of the water
company ill section 6, should the water
rront the level prove insufficient to supply
the eity, then the company must estaulish
pumping stations, with necessary engines
and reservoirs and force the water through
the necessary pipes to any part of tate city
from the maw cuunnel of the Niisanssippl
above seventh street. I call your attention
to this fact, for In that provision lays your
power to protect your city and give us a
modern waterworks. f have a resolution
prepared, and If you will adopt it, it means
a saving to the city of at least $20,000 a
year, besides it will give fire protection
where most needed. 1 also request of you
to prepare an act to be presented to the
legislature to enable the city of Dubuque
to issue the necessary bonds for a suitable
water system, to enable the city to protect
itself in the event that the Dubuque Water
company should refuse to comply with the
above mentioned rsolution, and the Coun-
cil should by resolution as provided forfeit
the charter ofathe company.
Respectfully submitted,
CHAS. J, W . ZSAUNI)ERs,

Special Session, Jan. 13th, 1892.
Council met at 2:40 o'clock p. m -
Mayor Saunders in the chair.
Present — Alds. Crawford, Cushing,
(flab, Page, Halpin, I'easlee, Smith, Stoltz
and Trexler.
The mayor stated that the object of the
meeting was for the purpose of taking ac-
tion on the ordinance adopted at the last
session of the council granting to the Dia-
mond Jo company- part of the levee front,
which he returned to the council without
his approval, and read the following com-
munication:
MAYORS OFFICE,
1)unuqur, lowA Jan. 12, 1892.
To the members of the city council:
GENTLEMEN:—At the last regual session
you passed an ordinance giving the Di
mond Jo company a strip of the publi
Ieveee 100x250 feet, to erect and maintain a
warehouse thereon for 20 years with the
right of renewal.
In the first place the company has made
the application without presenting the
proper map and plans showing exactly
what they desire to use, and kind of
ware house to be erected thereon. The
ordinance provides that they shall
have a strip of ground at the levee
commencing at the north line of First
street extension and running south 250
feet. which would almost cut off the main
entrance to the ice harbor, and if above de-
scribed premises shall commence at the
north line of First street extension as now
improved, said grant will extend as far
south as the center of Jones street, thus
shutting off the main entrance of the leyee
to public travel unless they pay tribute to
said Diamond Jo Co,
The etmpany is given the privilege to
use so much of the old iwharfboat
as may be useful, or all of it
for that matter, it it sults their purpose,
for the purpose of a warehouse,
and may erect it on piles or other foun-
dation, if they so desire, and the part of
said land not occupied by their warehouse
may be used for a coal or wood yard, or
any other purpose they may desire. Thus
the city virtually gives said Diamond Jo
company the right to occupy a piece of
public levee more than eight times as
large as the proposed warehouse without
any restrictions on said company. I do
not object to the Diamond Jo company
being granted enough of the levee for the
erection of their proposed warehouse and
use the same for the carrying on of their
business. the council, however, to reserve
the right at any time when it becomes a
public necessity to order said building re-
moved. Such a grant to the Diamond Jo Co.
with proper restrictions protecting the city
will meet with my bearty approval, but as
the ordinance passed by you January 4,
1892, does not give the city and the travel-
ing public the necessary safe -guards for
the use of a public levee, 1 therefore return
said ordinance to you without my approval
or official signature.
Respectfully submitted,
CHAS. J. W. Ald. Peaslee moved St at thesordi ance

veto.
The rules were suspended and Mr, E. M.

the ordinance refered to above.

opinion of City Attorney McCarthy, which
was ordered filed:
Dubuque, March 8th, 1892.
Hon. John 1'1'C,r'l(1', rho i rwan of Fi-
nance Committer, inti,l roc, Iowa:
DEAR SiR:—loud t'egilest illy written
legal opinion on two questions.
First—Can the city call in or redeem at
any time what are known as the "paving
bonds" issued for the improvement of
streets under the provision of Chanter 14
of the acts of the 'Twenty-third General
Assembly and the ordinance thereunder?
Second—Cast the money or fund received
by the city treasurer from the owners of
property abutting streets improved under
this law. be used for any other purpose
than taking up or redeeming the outstand•
int paving bonds?
Answering yott.r first quessioh, will stale
that the city is at liberty at any time to
call in and pay off the paving bonds. They
are optional bonds. Tile law is clear upeu
this point. Indeed the language of the
bond, themselves make it optional with
the city to redeem them at pleasure.
Your second p1 ipositian Is equally clear.
The money derived from the special
assessments must ne used in the redemp-
tion of the bunds; it can not lawfully be
devoted to any other use. This fund is the
only security that the bondholder has for
the payment of his bonds.
Section 14 of the out is so conclusive
upon this question that it would be useless
to argue further.
Very respectfully,
J. J. JIcCA1ITUY,
City Attorney.
Ald. '1'rexter offered the following reso-
tion:
\Vhereas, There is paid in the city

AId. Trexler arose and delivered the fol-
lowing farewell address:
Mr. President card Gentlemen of the
Council:
Afteruncsix consecutive years in the ser-
vice of the city, the (line has come for me
to sever the many pleasant relations with
you as a member of the council. Whether
1 have discharged my duties faithfully is
not for me to say. Whatever mistakes 1
have are entirely those of the (head and not
of the heart. \Ve are not infallible and
mistakes will happen. 1 now Dili you all
farewell and hope the many happy mem-
ories of the past will not soon he forgot-
ten; and I will always take an interest in
your proceedings, and hope that you will
one and all keep It warm place In your
hearts and call to memory the days of the
council ot'111.
Ala. Halpin also made a few remarks
bidding the council farewell, and stated
that "after serving four years I think that
to retiring 1 can return the chair 1 have
occupied in an unblemished condition to
my successor. With feelings of friend-
ship fur all, of both new and old councils,
1 bid you all good bye."
Ald. Stoltz offered the following resolu-
tion, which was adopted:
\Vhereas, Aids. llalpin, Trexler and
Fosselmann are about to sever theirofii.cial
relations with us, and
Whereas, Our relations with said alder-
men have always been pleasant and agree-
able, striving for the best interests of the
city, therefore
Resolved, That they have our hearty
good wishes tor their future welfare and
hope that they may be as successtul in
their private business as they have been
for the interests of the city.
Mayor Saunders delivered the following
valedictory:
THE VALEDICTORY.
Gentlemen of the Council:
The hour of parting has coupe, our offi-
cial relations as a body must cease, but be-
fore the soulless body of this council is
dissolved it is but just that we call to our
memory the official action of the past year,
and while while 1 look over volume 21 of
the council records anu find the immense
amount of official of work neceessary to till
u1,249 pages, t come to the conclusion that
this has been a hard working council. You
have worked faithfully and untiringly
for your constituents; you may in some in-
stances have, by your actions met with
disapproval by some, while others have
praised you for your actions on the very
same queseStlon.
We have incurred more or less criticism,
but not more nor less temperate than is the
lot of all bodies having public responsi-
bilities.
Larger and more improvements have
been made the past year than in any of the
previous years.
Miles of streets have been unproved,
thus making it necessary to construct large
and costly storm water sewers to afford
proper drainage.
All the improvements have been Ilhaae
by your constituents.
Contract; may have been improperly
done. Individuals may have taken advant-
age of the city, but the members of this
council have as 1 verily believe, dune all in
their power to protect the interest ut the
city. The great ealamity as prohesized by
a certain gentleman has failed to mater-
ialize. The financial condition of the city
of Dubuque is first class. The eity of Du-
buque pays one hundred cents on the dol-
lar and the bonds of the city of Dubuque
Ald. Halpin moved that the cam idates
receiving the highest majorities be de-
clared elected. Carried.
RE(ilrLAR SESSION, APRIL. 7, 1892 (lit
are in demand and command a premium.
As we are now about to adjourn, I will
say to Aldermen llaipin and 'l'rexler, who
are now about to retire to private occupa-
tions, that they have been faithful and
trusted servants of the city, who may with
pride refer to the proceedings of the coun-
cil during the long term of their service as
aldermen of their respective wards. The
records will show that they have been un-
tiring, active and always on hand to pro-
mote the welfare of the city. May nothing
but pleasing recollections renr,um with
them when perchance we meet in the path-
way of life; and I now take theliberty of
expiessing tor the remaining members as
well as for myself heartfelt good wishes
for their future prosperity and happiness.
Thanking you, gentlemen, one and all,
for past courtesies, I will pronounce the,
to me, most solemn words. This council
is adjourned sine die.
AId. Crawford moved That the thanks of
the council be extended 10 our worthy
mayor tor the impartial manner in which
he has conducted the business of the
mayor's office. Carried unanimously.
City Attorney McCarthy delivered the
oath of office to Mayor Saunders.
Messrs. Byrne, Glab, Olinger, Crawford
and Nicks were sworn in as aldermen by
Mayor Saunders, of the First, Second,
Third, Fourth and Fifth wards respect-
ively.
ayer Saunders delivered the following
inaugural address:
TUN. INAU((UIIAI..
(Gentlemen of tiro Council:—
As tine strokes of the belfrey brings td -
dings to the watchful that the new yea r
has made its appearance; so have the votes
of our people declared in favor of a new
council, and while we iuitia:e but the new
members, yet the body created is new, and
may it tie of life 10 stride onward and help
to keep it in a prosperous condition, for
the best interests of our city.
Let use make up our minds that in order
to accomplish good results, we must be at-
tentive to our duties, working in our of-
ficial capacity carefully, yet firmly, for the
advauceineut of the city. Do not order im-
provements without first finding out the
exact cost; be sure that the financial con-
dition of the city is such that the outlay is
warranted.
1 would recommend that you make ap-
propriations for streets, waterways and
culverts.
It is the large sum expended for grading
which is most ruinous to the city. 11
private individuals for their own gain, find
it advantageous to buy cornfields;on the
outskirts of the city or impassable bluffs,
and convert the same into lots and sell
thein at large figures to innocent pur-
chasers, 1 believe it the duty of the specu-
lators to grade their streets before the city,
accep s the same. Most of the dissatisfac-
tion arises from the above causes, as well
as the Targe oxpense for grading; as it is
impossible for a city to do all the grading
and comply with ,the many petitions tor
improvements.
1t is necessary, in order to have some
business like method to be governed by to
make an appropriation for street improve-
ments not to exceed $50,000 for the tical
year, (even if we do not have the stoney)
to be kept in a separate fund; yet, the aud-
itor should carry such appropriation on
his book from month to month, and charge
such expenditures to the road fund, and
keep the council informed every month as
to the condition of such tuna. The above
amount should not be exceeded.
You will find by perusing the ordinances
that the street commissioner is the most
powerful officer of the city, having juris-
diction unlimited and 1 earnestly call yuor
attention to the matter and request that
you amend the ordinance on that subject.
Ali incompetent officer in that itositiou can
do much to thwart all the good intentions
of the council.
The purchasing of supplies, as provided
by ordinance, should be rigidly enforced;
no officer whether elected by the people or
appointed by the council should be al-
lowed to purchase hisoffice supplies. The
chairman of the Commitee for purchasing
supplies should insist that all supplies,
large or small, necessary for the police,
fire and road departments should
be purchased nn an order from
him, and 1 hope that the council
will not consider a bill unless a proper or-
der accompanies the same from the chair-
man. The Targe amount of bills brought
before the council m011 thly and of which,
lifter no explanation can be had, shows
surely that the management in that par-
channel
ar-ch innel is defective; for ,t demon-
strates that people employed by the city
will often show their authority by creating
inexcusable accounts or unnecessary ex-
pense. The city can save money by pay-
ing the chairman on supplies for his ser-
vices.
Believing our lire department to be first
class, and ve y efficient as to number and
sire, you will fiuu it necessary that the
same will demand large outlays upon the
completion of the new engine house, and 1
would recommend and urge that purchases
found necessary, after careful considera-
tion, be made of the best in the market.
In compliance with the wishes
of the council the water company is mak-
ing large improvements in order to give the
city a more modern and efficient water ser-
vice, wile,' will enable the council, by
placing upon the bluffs at different places
a sufficient amount of hose to give fire
protection to our citizens who are taxed for
the stone.
Let us aim to run all departments in a
business like manner, and we cannot fail
to demonstrate to our citizens that we have
been worthy of our trust.
AId. Stoltz moved that AId. Peaslee be

To the General Public of Dubuque.
It is a painful truth that•our city is in a
very unhealthy condition and may be the
cause of untold suffering before the ap-
proach of (mid weather,notwithstanding the
greatest of efforts on our part to improve
the same. It is the stagnant pools,the filthy
alleys and the damp cellars I allude to.
The stagnant pools lam using all my in-
fluence to have filled up, the alleys cleaned
and sewerage connection secured. To im-
prove the sanitary condition of your cellars
is my object of this communication to in-
struct you with the consent of the board of
health. The majority of cellars contain
more or less water which, as a matter of
course must be removed.
Every cellars should have all the ventila-
tion possible and then should be sprinkled
with a disinfecting solution.
As the cheapest and most eflective sub-
stance to be used for this purpose is sulphate
of iron, or what is known in common lan-
guage as copper's or green vitriol. It can
be secured for about 2 cents per pound and
is to be dissolved in boiling hot water, in
the proportion of one pound of the copperas
to a quart of the water.
The floor and walls of the cellar are to be
sprinkled with this solution once In two or
three days for such length of time as may be
indicated.
You will find this a cbeap and effective
means to destroy all unpleasant odors about
the premises,and itis to be hoped that every
body will take heed and make use of it.
Respectfully,
F. W. WIELAND, M. D.

To the :)[embers of the City Council:
GENTLEMEN :—By the presenting of an or-
dinance we are informed that the American
Water Works and Guarantee company, of
Pittsburgh, Pa., has made arrangements as
to the purchasing of the Dubuque water
works property; provided, however, that a
favorable franchise or a continuance of the
charter now in force, with section 7 re-
pealed, which would simply mean a contin-
uance for twenty-eight years to come. Now
it may or may not be advisable or possible
for the city to purchase the water works
now or hereafter. but it is clearly to be seen
that should the city council feel so inclined
to repeal or grant privileges, the city itself,
as well as the people, should and must de-
rive a benefit thereby, and therefore the
schedule price of the water rates as now
charged ought to be reduced at least 33 per
cent, and the city rates for fire hydrants and
flush tanks to be reduced in the same pro-
portion, and any water used for public
drinking fountains of any kind, as web as
street sprinkling, if done at some future
time by the city, ought to be furnished free
of charge.
Bids for street improvements opened and
referred to the engineer for computation.

mayor Saunders presented and read the
following communication :
To the flonorable Jlentbers of the City Conned:
GENTLEMEN :-At the last session of the
council you ordered warrants drawn for
$125 75 in favor of Byrne & Saul for filling
on South Main street. I find nothing in the
proceedings of the council to indicate that
the above parties have any contract to do
any grading on Main street, or that any
committee has been authorized to have such
grading done.
I therefore return you the warrant without
my signature.
1 would also state that a warrant for
$15.75 for filling on South Main street has
been ordered, and for simiiar reasons I re-
turn you the warrant without my approval.
Upon examination I find that H 11 street
is not graded according to contract, yet a
warrant has been ordered drawn for 4100 in
favor of the contractor. I return you the
same without my signature, so you may be
able to examine into the matter.
I also return the warrants for Grant av-
enue and West Eleventh treet grading, the
grading having been reduced by the change.
The council will examine the same: al
West Fourteenth, Auburn, Alta, Algo.
Dubuque, Decorah, Delaware, Windsor av-
enue and Apple street, as the grading is less
than the original estimate.
Upon inquiry at the engineer's office, I
have been requested to have a re -survey
made, giving the proper engineer who made
the original survey a chance to correct the
same, as the estimate was overrated.
I would also call your attention to Clark
street on the same grounds.
Respectfully,
CHAS. J. W. SAU\ IERs,
Mayor.

ferred to the committee of the whole.

The Mayor's Proclamation.
By chapter 45 of the Acts of the Twenty-
third General Assembly of Iowa, the first
Monday of September was designated as a
legal holiday to he known as Labor Day.
The adoption of this law was aust recog-
nition of the workingmen of Iowa. Du-
buque during the past year has been pros-
perous; our population has increased. and
our laboring people have been all employed
at remunerative wages and our business
men as a rule have met with a fair measure
of success. In accordance with custom, as
mayor of the city, I appeal to all the people
of Dubuque to observe this state holiday in
a manner becoming the occasion, with the
thought that by so doing those who labor
may have a day of rest and recreation, and
believing that it will be to the ultimate ben-
efit of employe and employed as well as all
the people.
Witness my hand and the seal of the city
of Dubuque this 3d day of September, 1592.

Roard of Re.Ith Notice
To the General Public of the City of Rumple: -
1u pursuance of a resolution of the board
of health, because of the approaching dan-
ger of the most fatal and dreaded of disease;
gaining a foothold in our city, I do hereby
instruct you to take the following precau-
tion s, and ask each and every individual to
co-operate with the authorities in this mat-
ter.
I therefore suggest that you use the utmost
vigilance to keep your premises in as dry
and wholesome a condition as possible, in-
side and out: to avoid throwing filth of any
kind into your yards or on ground ar+jacent
thereto, into the alleys or on the streets;
nor suffer the satne to be done by
others it within your power to pre-
vent it; to keep clean in your
persons, houses and effects; to report and
make known any nuisance to the board of
health at your earliest possible convenience;
to guard against excess or privation of all
kinds; to refrain from eating raw fruits or
raw vegetables of any kind: to avoid living
in houses overcrowded with people and to
report such, if existing, to the board of
health; to guard against eating any food
which in your opinion may produce diar-
rhoea; to report any case under your obser
vation simulating the disease in question; to
use no milk or water without the same hav-
ing previously been boiled; to solicit the
advice of your family physician or the
board of health upon anything pertaining
to this matter not her -in stated; to
improve the sanitary condition of your
premises, etc , and not confllicting with jus-
tice and common sense.
It is suggested that you resort to the use of
copperas as the most effective disiufectant,to
destroy any stench about the premises not
practicable to be removed.
To observe and remember the above sug-
gestions I earnestly appeal to you; for while
the cholera scourge has not gained a foot-
hold on this continent so far as is known, at
this time, we may not be surprised to hear
of a case right here among us tomorrow.
"Forewarned is to be forearmed." Let us
take heed and take the necessary precau-
tions in time.
