The following communication was re-

To the Honorable Mayor and City Coun
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—I desire to call your at-
tention to the insufficient supply of wa-
ter and the imperfectness of the water
system we have in our city. At the
last two fires we have had in our city
Regular Se: -fun, January 20, 1898
11
one un December 30, 1897, at Schaupp's
drug store and the other on Jan. 9th,
1898, at Watters & Dennis' feed store,
both on lower Main street, would show
that we had an insufficient supply of
water. The whole fire department was
called out to both of those fires and I
had to take the engines from Main
street and station same to some side
streets in order to get water. The de-
partment succeeded in holding the fire
to the building where it broke out, but
if a high wind had prevailed the whole
fire department could work ever so
hard and be of no use to the city on ac-
count of lack of water. This city is
paying at the present time $1,400 per
month for hydrants for fire purposes,
and at that rate, the city should have a
sufficient supply of water to enable the
department to compete and fight any
or all large fires to come. Now gen-
tlemen, I would suggest that the city
should take some steps and instruct the
Water Company to provide a more thor-
ough system to their water plant, and
give the city a supply of water in con-
formity with the amount paid then an-
nually by the city.
Respectfully yours.
JC)S. REINFRIED,
Fire Chief.

has had no experience with appropria-
tions, I would advise that the appro-
priations be made for a Targe enough
amount to cover all expenditures with-
out question. so that the different de-
partments may not run short. The
city can not appropriate an amount in
excess of its annual legally authorized
revenue.
Respectfully submitted.
THOMAS H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Stafford moved to receive and
file the communication and that the l ec-
ommendations be carried omit.
Ald. Berg moved as a substitute that
the communication be referred to the
committee of the whole.
Ald. Stafford withdrew his motion.
whereupon Ald. Berg's motion was put
and carried.
City Attorney Duffy submitted the fol
owing opinion in the matter of extend -
ng Milwaukee avenue as per request at
he previous meeting:
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder -
nen of the City of Dubuque: Gentle-
ten—You have referred to me the
atter of the extension of Milwaukee
avenue, and the construction of streets
or ways to carry water into the Maquo-
keta creek. As I understand it you
wish to know what the rights of the
city are in regard to constructing the
same according to the plan of the city
engineer.
In the first place the city cannot
open Milwaukee avenue and conduct
the water frons the Miliville road to the
city limits on Jackson street and stop
at that point, thus throwing the water
on the lands adjoining the city limits.
leaving the supervisors or the owners
of the land to provide for the carrying
away of the water, without being re-
sponsible in damages for the loss occa-
sioned the owners of said land by the
throwing of said water thereon.
It being then incumbent upon the city
to provide for the carrying away of
said water, the question then arises
whether the city can go outside of the
city limits and provide for the con-
ducting of the water to the Maquoketa
creek, according to the plan of the city
engineer, and how it shall do so.
The city has the right to go outside of
the city limits and condemn the proper-
ty necessary to establish the water-
way ,according to the engineer's plan.
The ordinance which the city now has
providing the method for condemning
waterways is somewhat inadequate and
insufficient for the purposes of this
case, and the city should pass a new
ordinance on the subject, if it decides
to go ahead and construct this improve-
ment. The city can also purchase the
right of way necessary if it can come
to an agreement with the owners
of the Land, and thus obviate the nec-
essity of proceeding to condemn the
said land.
of each fiscal year (which in our city- is
March l.st) a detailed statement of the
necessary labor , supplies and material
and the work to be done by or through
their department during the next fiscal
year and the estimated cost there-
of. It also provides code, section 942,
that the council shall make the appro-
priation for all the different expendi-
tures for each fiscal year at or before
the beginning of it, that is at or before
March 1st, and it shall be unlawful to
issue any warrant or to enter into any
contract or appropriate any money in
excess of the amount thus appropriat-
ed for the different expenses of the city
during the year for which such appro-
priation shall be made. It shall not
appropriate in the aggregate an amount
in excess of its annual, legally, author-
ed revenue. The estimates are made
for the purpose of establishing a basis
from which to ascertain the amount
necessary to be appropriated.
These estimates should be returned at
once so that the council will be able
to make the appropriations by March 1.
I would advise the council to order the
persons required as above stated to re-
turn their estimates by the next meet-
ing or as soon thereafter as possible and
that the recorder so notify them at
once so that the estimates may be re-
turned in time for the appropriations
to be made by March 1st; and that it is
necessary that said estimates be as ac-
curate as possible. I would also ad-
vise the council to give their immediate
and close attention to the making of the
appropriations as above required. Said
appropriations must be made, and it is
unlawful to exceed them, and the coun-
cil would render themselves criminal-
ly liable to do so, so it is important that
they should be made as accurate as pos-
sible. As this is the first year that the
law required this and as the council
Special January 27. 1898. 17
In constructing this waterway, as con
templated, the city must use reasona-
ble care to construct the same in such
a skillful mariner that the adjoining
owners will not suffer damages from
the overflow of water therefrom. If it
fails so to do. and water overflows from
said way as constructed, the city will
he liable in rlmmnges to the land own-
ers injured thereby.
A further question arises as to
whether or not the city can enter into
a private agreement with Mr. John
Helm and Mrs. Agatha Heim as pro-
posed. The agreement proposed is that
John and Agatha Heim will transfer
and dedicate to the city of Dubuque the
Enol necessary for the extension of
Milwaukee avenue for the water street
proposed and will agree to remove the
earth and rock in accordance with the
plat of the city engineer, in considera-
tion of which the city agrees to pay
them a certain amount or amounts per
yard for the earth and rock so removed.
The only limitation upon such an
agreement is that it must he fairly en-
tered into and the terms thereof must
ire reasonable, and made with due re-
gard for the public interest, as the city
cannot arbitrarily enter into a privat
agreement, to the injury of the corpo-
rate interests.
If the agreement complies with these
requirements, which is a matter for the
council to decide. it can be entered into.
THOMAS H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Lagen moved that the rules be
suspended and that Attorney W. W.
Bonson be allowed to address the coun-
cil. Carried.
Mr. Bonson addressed the council, and
read several sections of the new code
bearing on the subject.
Aids. Thomas. Crawford and Lagen
addressed the council.
Ald. Thomas moved that the rules be
suspended and that Maj. Smith and any
others desiring so to do, be allowed to
address the council. Carried.
Major Smith addressed the council in
opposition to the extension of Milwau-
kee avenue and the project of carrying
the water north to the Maquoketa
creek.
Ald. McEvoy, Mr. Wm. Quigley and
Mr. John Heini addressed the council.
Ald. Thomas moved that the council
accept the proposition of John and
Agatha Heim.
Ald. McEvoy moved as a substitute
that further action be postponed for
one week and the city engineer be in-
structed to prepare a plan and make es-
timate of the cost for carrying the wa-
ter from Bee branch, or Millville road
and vicinity ,along its natural course,
south to lake Peosta, and the city engi-
neer report to the council.
On behalf of Mr. Heim, Mr. Bonson
stated that he wanted the council to
either accept or reject the proposition
at once. The ayes and noes were or-
dered called on the substitute, resulting
as follows:
Ayes—Aids. Berg, Crawford, Lagen
and McEvoy,
Noes—Aids. Albrecht, Cullen, Jelli-
son, Stafford and Thomas.
Absent—Ald. Dennert.
The mayor declared the substitute
lost.
After a general discussion upon the
subject, His Honor, the mayor, and
most of the aldermen participating, Ald.
Thomas withdrew his motion and ac-
cepted Ald. McEvoy's amendment.
The substitute becoming the original
motion, the mayor called for the ayes
and nayes, after which he declared the
motion carried.
On motion the council adjourned.

count and realize the money on them

numerous that it had become annoying

he desired the instruction of the council
in regard to the matter.

fered the resolution authorizing two
pay days a month for the purpose of
avoiding the necessity of giving time
orders and thought that ought to be
sufficient, but for lessening the necess-
ity still more, if possible, he would move
that pay day for laborers hereafter be
on Tuesday following the sessions of the
council acting on pay rolls. The mo-
tion carried.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City C un_
cil of the city of Dubuque:
Gentlemen—You have referred to nr••
the matter of the ext'nsrou of Iro
y.
street through the prol't•r•t`
Otto. proceedings wet.-
As I understand it
commenced to condemn this proper
under the ordinance and l the j0 which
award
as-
sessed the damage at
award the city refused to accept. no e
As I understand it Mr.
Otto is
willing to a.-eept and the city to give
$1,000.00 for this strip of ground.
Of course if Mr. Otto is not agreea-
ble to this proposition the city would
be obliged to accept the award; that is,
if the city wished to appropriate the
property, unless it appealed therefrom
to the district court.
I understand, however, that Mr. Otto
is willing to accept the $1,000.00 and
the question is whether or not the city
can legally pay Mr. Otto $1,000.00 under
the circumstances and take a deed from
him for said property.
There can be no question about the
legality of this proposition as the city
has the right to pay said :.im and take
a deed from Mr. Otto of said prop-
erty. I understand the property is
mortgaged.
It would be better for the city to
have Mr. Otto furnish an abstract of
the property if he has one, or to have
the title investigated before purchas-
ing said strip as if there are any mort-
gages or incumbrances upon the prop-
erty the mortgagees or lien holders
Nvould have to release them as the
city would take the property subject to
such incumbrances.
I understand that there is a house
upon the premises and there would
have to be some arrangement made as
to how it should be removed and by
whom it should be removed.
I would advise the city in entering
into this contract to take the property
subject to above considerations and
have the contract conditioned accord-
ingly. Respectfully submitted,
THOS. H. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Thomas moved that the report
be accepted and that the city attorney
be instructed to investigate thorough-
ly the title of said property and when
found satisfactorily perfect to draw
up the deed and necessary papers and

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
In compliance with your order of Jan-
uary 6th, 1898, in regard to streets,
which have no signs at their intersec-
tions, would most respectfully report
that upon investigation I find that the
city has on hand, street signs as per

Mayor's . Office, Dubuque, March 3.
1898.—To the Members of the City Coun
cil. Gentlemen: I have asked the city
attorney for his opinion as to the power
of the city council to purchase the wa-
ter works if they deem it advisable so
to do. His opinion will be before you
for your consideration.
You have also by resolution decided
to refer to the people at the next elec-
tion the question whether the c uestion, whether it will pay for the
should purchase the water works. The que to own and operate the works,
importance of the matter to the city in
a. few must be answered by experience of
other cities much like this city in a
general way. The Dubuque company
has 1,600 private consumers at what
revenue I am unable to state. Sioux
City, with a population of 40,000, has 2,-
500 private consumers yielding to the
city a revenue from $32,000 to $34,000
yearly, with an operating expense of
$22,000.
La Crosse, Wis., population 30,000, has
2,908 private consumers and a revenue
of $29,000, at an operating expense of
$13,000.
Rockford, Ill., population 33,000, has
2,972 private consumers, with a revenue
of $32,892 and $16,000 operating expense.
element so essential to comfort, clean-
liness and protection of property. Of
the 3,196 water plants now in this Coun-
try, 1,059 of which have been estab-
lished since 1891, 1,690 have been pur-
chased or built by the municipalities.
Of the 170 plants in this state 140 be-
long to the public.
Of the 50 largest cities in the country'
41 belong to the cities. Since 1590, 200
cities in this country have purchased
water works belonging to private com-
panies.
And only three cities of any consid-
erable size—Peoria, Ill., Lexington, Ky.,
and Chester, Pa.'—have transferred the
public plants to private corporations.
The question occurs here if municipal
ownership finds such favor throughout
the country—so markedly so in our own
state—why will it not be a good thing
for Dubuque? The answer is, that it
will be if we have the power and are
able to purchase the plant now here at
a fair valuation and so improve it that
it will furnish us with an adequate sup-
ply of good, pure water for domestic
use, and give us sufficient for sewer,
street and fire purposes.
The charter of the company provides
for the purchase right by the city, and
I think the statute provisions grant the
power to make the purchase.
If there be no legal barrier in the way.
will it pay to purchase the works and
make them adequate to our needs?
I think so. Last year we paid the
company $20,814.42 for water for fire and
other public purposes. That sum would
pay 4 per cent. on about $560,000. If
there be no legal difficulty to contend
with, I am satisfied from correspon-
dence with bond dealers that 20 -year
bonds bearing 4 per cent. interest could
be sold now at a nice premium. This
seems to be a favorable time for large
municipal investments, and it would
be wise if we can do so to take advan-
tage of the keenness of bankers to make
long-time loans. The labor offered to
the many working men by the improve-
ment or enlargement of the works is
another strong reason why as speedy
action as may be taken should be taken.
How for the matter of private con-
sumption of water may enter into the
various ways prompts me to say
words to you iri regard to it.
If the people at the coming election
indicate to the council that it is their
wish that the city should purchase the
present plant it will then clearly be-
come the duty of the council to take
such action as it legally can take to
carry out the will of the people.
The tendency everywhere is now and
has been for some years past in the di-
rection of municipal ownership of wa-
ter plants. The acknowledged neces-
sity for an abundant, cheap, and health
ful supply of water in all communities
underlies this wish on the part of the
people to control as far as they may an

from private consumption of $18,000.
What the effect of municipal owner-
ship or the private consumption here
would be is problematical, but it is re-
markable that the number of private
consumers should compare so poorly
with other neighboring cities much less
in population.
Des Moines has been trying for two
years to get control of its plant, which
is estimated to be worth $600,000, and
bonded for $950,000. The first price of
the company to this city was $2,000,000.
Within the year it fell to $1,500,000, then
to $1,000,000. The city offered $800,000,
which the company steadily refused,
but is said now to be inclined to take it.
Davenport's private system, a monu-
ment to the enterprise of a few of her
citizens, is no doubt the best in the
west—possibly, owing to perfect filter-
ing system, the best in the country.
Expensive as it is, having cost about
$1,200,000, the cost of water for public
or private use, perfectly pure, is not
complained of by the people of that
city. The system of pumping then
will be well worth the study of those
in Dubuque who may be charged with
the important work of securing for the
people of this city not only an abun-
dant, but a pure supply of water.
From my investigation of this ques-
tion and information gathered from
correspondence with officials of other
cities, as well as bankers, it seems to
me that the weight of reason is in
favor of taking every step that law will
sanction to purchase the works now
here and make them what they ought
to be. How this improvement may be
made is a question for them who have
professional knowledge in that business
to say.
Time is to be considered by you. The
charter of the company provides that
you may give the company six months'
notice of your intention to buy. If you
can obviate that delay, should you wish
to make an effort to buy the works,
would it not be well to ask the water
company to submit a proposition of sale
to the council, naming its price? If
deemed satisfactory the matter might
be put into such shape that those who
succeed you and me in this council will
have it before them in a tangible way,
and may proceed in as expeditious man
ner as possible if the will of the people
as expressed at the polls favor such ac-
tion by them. I suggest that you ask
the water company to make such a
proposition. If the company declines to
make such propostion, then that the
notice required by section 7 of the char-
ter be served on said company of the
city's purpose to purchase said water
works.
Respectfully submitted,
—T. T. Duffy, Mayor.

City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Ia., March 3, 1898.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Coun
cif of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen—You have referred to me
the annexed resolution for an opinion.
In regard to the legal right of the
city to have a sufficient supply and
pressure of water furnished by the
water company, I state that it is the
duty of the water company, by pro-
viding proper machinery, pipes, and
other means, to furnish to the city
and citizens thereof, a sufficient sup-
ply of water through its pipes in any
part of the city. If their plant has
grown insufficient for said purpose, it
is the duty of said company to make it
sufficient.
If the water company fails to com-
ply with its contract, and fails to sup-
ply or provide a sufficient pressure of
water, then the city can by proper ac-
tion compel them to comply with the
contract, and to specifically perform
the provisions therof, and can compel
them to make the necessary provisions
to furnish the city and citizens there-
of with the sufficient supply and press-
ure of water.
In addition to the above action the
city can, by adopting additional meas-
ures, such as an action to forfeit the
company's charter, regulating the rates,
refusing to pay for an insufficient sup-
ply of water, etc., bring about a com-
pliance on the part of the water com-
pany with their contract, but the best
established and most effectual remedy
for the city is to bring an action to
compel said water company to make
the necessary provisions for furnishing,
and to furnish, the city and the citizens
thereof, with a sufficient supply and
pressure of water as aforesaid.
No legislation is necessary in this
matter, as the city has the right to pro-
tect its interests as above stated. I
would advise, in this matter. that the
council, through a proper committee,
present their complaints in regard to
the insufficient supply or pressure of
water, to the water company, and de-
mand that the same be remedied. If
the water company then refuses to
snake the proper provision to furnish
a sufficient supply or pressure of water,
then the city can and should take ac-
tion as above stated.
In regard to whether legislation is
necessary if it is decided to purchase
the water works, I report that no legis-
lation is necessary. The city has the
power at present to establish, erect,
purchase, maintain and operate water
works, and has the right to make all
necessary provision. contracts and ar-
rangements and to pass all necessary
ordinances to carry that power into
effect. The only question that might
arise and which the city might have
to contend with in carrying out said
power. will be to carry out same. and
to make the arrangements for the pur-
chase and maintenance of the water
works in such a manner that no such
liability or indebtedness will be incur-
red on the part of the city which will
violate the constitutional provision
prohibiting cities from being indebted
to an amount exceeding 5 per cent. on
the value of the taxable property of the
city: and that question would arise pro-
vided the adding of the purchase price
of said water works to the city's in-
debtedness would increase same be-
yond said constitutional limit. If it
would, then whatever contract or ar-
rangement the city makes will have to
be made as aforesaid, in such a man-
ner as not to violate the said consti-
tutional provision.
As this question would arise under a
constitutional provision, legislation can
not cure or aid the condition in any
manner. However, if it is decided to
purchase the water works, the contract
and arrangements can he made in such
a manner as to avoid their being in
conflict with or contrary to the said
constitutional provision.
I►,egnlar Session, March 3, 1898
The council has ordered that the
question of whether or not the city
shall purchase the water works, shall
be submitted to a vote of the electors
of the city of Dubuque, at the next
city election.
The law provides that notice shall
be given in two newspapers published
in the city, once each week for four
consecutive weeks before the election,
that such question will be submitted
at the city election held April 4th, 1898.
As the first insertion of said notice
should be made and published by next
Saturday, March 5th, immediate at-
tention should be given this, and the
council should instruct the recorder to
have such notice published as stated.
The said question of whether or not
the city should purchase the water
works should be submitted, and placed
upon the official ballot as provided by
the new code, section 1106, of the elec-
tion law, and the recorder should be in-
structed to prepare said ballot so as to
submit said question to the voters of
the city, as provided in said section
1106. Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS R. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Ald. Thomas moved to adopt the re-
port of the city attorney and the city
recorder instructed to carry out the in-
structions of report. and the report re-
ferred to the committee of the
whole. Carried.

To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen

(i1
G%htlemen:—Your committee on
claims has referred to me for consid-
eration and report to the city council
the petition of Mrs. Mary F. Dickens,
claiming damages in the sum of $500.00
on account of Injuries alleged to have
been received by her on the 7th day of
December, 1897, in falling on an alleg-
ed defective walk on Eagle Point avenue
between Jackson street and White
Street. I have investigated the claim
and have reported the result to the
said committee on claims with the re-
sult that we have interviewed Mrs.
Dickens and her attorney with the re-
sult that she wild accept $75.00
full of her said claim against the city.
I would therefore recommend and the
said committee on claims concur in this
recommendation; that a warrant be
drawn in favor of Mrs. Mary F. Dick-
ens for the sum of $75.00, which war-
rant is to be delivered to her upon her
signing a receipt to be drafted by me.

To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City Council of the City of
Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Some time before I took
charge of the office of city attorney a
settlement was made of the case of Jas.
Forrester vs City of Dubuque and by
the terms of the settlement each party
to the suit was to pay his or its costs, an
itemized bill of the court costs in the
case was, some time ago presented to
the council by the clerk of court, and
the council referred the matter to me
for attention. I have just succeeded
in making an agreement with Mr. For-
rester's attorneys whereby they agreed
to see to it that certain of the items in
the bill, under the agreement first
above referred to, are paid by Mr. For-
rester deducting these items from the
bill presented by the clerk of court leav-
es a balance, payable by the city of
$176.55, as a large amount of the costs
in this case. are witness fees. and as the
witnesses have been kept out of their
fees a long time I would recommend
that a warrant be drawn in favor of the
clerk of the district court for the sum
of $175.55 so that the parties interested
will at once receive the money properly
due them. Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS H.1 DUFFY,
City Attorney.

To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City Council of the City of Du-

Gentlemen:—You have referred to me
for examination and report the annexed
fee bill in case of F. D. Scharle vs city
of Dubuque. This case was tried in
March, 1897, resulting in a Judgment
against the city for $140.00 with inter
est and costs. I have examined the rec-
ords and find that the bill presented by
the clerk of the district court is correct
and would therefore recommend that a
warrant be drawn in favor of James A.
Hayes, clerk of the district court for
the sum of $314.25.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. I-1. DUFFY,
City Attorney.
Aid. Berg moved that the report he
adopted and warrants be ordered drawn
for the amount. Carried.
The following communication from
the city engineer was referred to the
committee of the whole.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council—Gentlemen: I herewith pre-
sent to you an approximate estimate of
what a plant such as the Dubuque Wat-
er company now has can be duplicated
for. I find that the company has 42 1-2
miles of water mains, varying in size
from 1, -Inch to 16 -inch: 336 hydrants,
one 2,000,000 and one 3.000.000 gallon
pump, stand pipe. reservoir. artesian
well and buildings, such as pump
houses. But this estimate does not
include any other part of the real es-
tate, outside of what the buildings now
ro,er, z.nd does not include the cover-
ed reservc-it, or tunnel from the large
reservoir to the main shaft, which is
located some 'three-fourths of a mile
further west. The above described
pant can be duplicated by using new
material ihrouelicut ,and put do work-
ing crcraticn for the sum of $260,000.
As to what the present value of the
company's plant now .:s will largely de-
pend on the conditions of the present
mains and NN/ill he appraised accord:ng
to ordinance Chief Reinfried and my-
self have tested a number of hydrants
south of Fourteenth street and east of
Bluff street and find pressure of from
forty to forty-five pounds on the mains.
In conclusion I will say that the city
could well afford to purchase, said
plant, as the city at present is pay -
;ng over $20,000 per year for the use
of water, which would be 4 per cent on
$500,: -.CO, or about 8 per cent on what the
plant could be duplicated for.
These figures are on the same size
pipes. pumps, reservoirs, stand pipe and
other ai,ptiancer such as the water
company now have. Respectfully sub-
mitted, —E. C. Blake,

Present—Aids. Berg, Crawford, Cul-
len, Dennert, Jellison, Lagen, McEvoy,

Mayor Duffy stated the purpose of
the special meeting and then read the
following:
THE VETO.
Mayor's Office, Dubuque, Iowa, March
23, 1898.—To the Honorable Members of
the City Council, Gentlemen: At your
meeting held on the 10th day of the
present month of March you adopted an
ordinance entitled, "An ordinance to
provide for the election, by the electors
of the city of Dubuque, of a city mar-
shal and to repeal section 1 of chapter
11 of the revised ordinances of 1893." I
consider it my duty to return said or-
dinance to you without my approval,
with my objections thereto. I have
called you together in special meeting
in advance of the regular meeting on
the 24th inst. that you may take such
action in the matter that may obviate
any difficulties hereafter. It is im-
portant to avoid any complications in
this matter for the members of this
council who no doubt may differ with
me just as honestly as I do with some
of them in my opinion as to the advisa-
bility of giving effect to this ordinance.
There is no wish expressed by the
people as far as I am able to see, nor
do I believe that they have any desire
to have the office of marshal tangled
up in politics. On the contrary I am
confident from conversations had with
businessmen and others, from the ex-
pressions of the press, which in this in-
stance I have no doubt reflect the best
thought of our people, that the great
majority of the people of this city are
opposed to this ordinance. As an evi-
dence of this I submit for your consid-
eration two petitions signed by a very
large number of our leading citizens,
representing the largest business inter-
ests of the city, requesting me to veto
this ordinance.
I can see no good, but an apprehen-
sion of much evil resulting therefrom
should this ordinance be made effec-
tive. There is as much reason why
the office of chief of the fire depart-
ment, who guards the property of the
people against destruction by fire, of
the street foreman and sewer inspector,
who are charged with the expenditure
of thousands of dollars monthly of the
people's money, should be elected by
the people as that the marshal should
be, and yet what prudent citizen would
for a minute think of favoring such a
method as to those offices or others now
filled by council appointments. Who-
ever occupies the position of marshal
has in his keeping the preservation of
Special Session, March 23, 1898.
71
public peace, the protection of the per-
sons and property of the people the
guarding of their houses, the main-
tenance of order and the enforcement
of the law. It is too important an
office, too much responsibility is con-
nected with it and the consequences of
a mistake too serious to take any
chances without good and sufficient
reasons for so doing, none of which I
have been able to see. My long ex-
perience in dealing with crime before
I was honored by my fellow citizens
with the office of mayor, added to
knowledge obtained while in this office,
leaves me no room to doubt as to what
is best to do.
The election of an unfit man to such
a trust would be a calamity which the
council would be powerless to rectify,
save through the clumsy, uncertain,
unsatisfactory and expensive method
of impeachment provided by ordinance.
Better far, in my judgment, for this
council not to build up, by their action
now, difficulties which succeeding coun-
cils and the people may have reason
to deplore. Dubuque is not unlike other
cities of Iowa in this regard. I have
letters from the mayors of Des Moines,
Davenport, Sioux City. Council Bluffs
and Cedar Rapids and in none of these
cities is the marshal elected by the
people except Cedar Rapids, and Mayor
Lincoln, of that city, says the method
is very objectionable. In all the other
cities named the appointment is made
by the mayors. I am not prepared to
say that I believe such method best
in all respects. An old adage says it
is often advisable to "let well enough
alone."
The election method was tried for
years and abandoned for the present
appointive method and I believe it is
the best judgment of those of our citi-
zens who give matters that concern the
welfare of our city careful thought,
that the plan now and for several years
pursued by the council has been pro-
ductive of better results for the preser-
vation of the peace, the protection of
the property and the lives of our peo-
ple, who are far more concerned in
this than they are in the exercise
of
any privilege an ordinance may
con-
fer on them to enable them to secur
benefits they already enjoy.
Gentlemen of this council, I have in
this matter, as you should and I be-
lieve you have. only one motive, to do
my duty as I see it conscientiously and
with a firm purpose to do what I be-
lieve is for the best interests of the
people of our city. I have done what
`rand
I am convinced is for the and
shall feel gratified if you sustain
action. If you decide to do otherwise
I shall feel that you have been influ-
enced solely by motives similar to those
which actuate me.
Respectfully submitted, ,or.
—T. T. Duffy,
The mayor stated that he had also
two petitions protesting against his
(the mayor) signing said ordinance.
Ald. Dennert moved that the peti-
tions he read. Carried.
The petitions were then read and
are as follows:
To the Honorable T. T. Duffy, mayor
of the city of Dubuque:
Dear Sir:—The undersigned have read
the resolutions passed by the Citizens'
Reform Club in opposition to the elec-
tion of city marshal and engineer by
the electors. We fully concur in the
sentiment expressed by it in this mat-
ter, and learn with deep regret of the
passage of this ordinance by the city
council.
We believe that the interest of the
city and its people will be best sub -
served by this ordinance becoming non-
effective, and we take this method of
urging upon you the advisability of us-
ing your prerogative and vetoing the
ordinance.
Trusting you may see your way clear
to grant our petition, we remain.
Very truly yours,
John T. Hancock & Sons and 160
others.
Also a like petition signed by W. E.
Ferris and 111 others.

Dubuque, Ia., March 29, 1898.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the city of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The attached communi-
cation addressed to the chairman of
the committee on claims explain' it-
self.
On January 14th, 1897, Albinus Bauer,
a mechanic, then employed at the C. M.
& St. P. R. R. shops, while passing
along Garfield avenue, in the city of
Dubuque, at a point close to its inter-
section with Pine street, slipped on
what is alleged by him to have been
a defective sidewalk or foot path, and
was precipitated into the Couler Creek,
receiving, as he claims, injuries which
will be permanent.
Your committee on claims has con-
sulted with the mayor and city attor-
ney as to the facts in the case, and
all things considered it is our opinion
that a compromise, in accordance with
the proposition made, of Mr. Bauer's
case is to the best interests of the
city.
We therefore recommend that a war-
rant be drawn in favor of Longue-
ville, McCarthy & Kenline, attorneys
of record for Mr. Bauer, for the sum of
$567.70, which warrant is to be deliver-
ed to said attorneys upon the execu-
tion by them, as attorneys for Albinus
Bauer, of a receipt to be drafted by
our city attorney.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed.) M. STAFFORD,
G. B. ALBRECHT,
CHAS. T. THOMAS,
Committee on Claims.
Ald. Stafford moved to adopt the re-
port of the committee on claims and
that a warrant be ordered drawn to pay
said claim. Carried.
The mayor announced that the coun-
cil would now take up the matter of
vacating Warren and Canal streets on
the petition of A. A. Cooper.
Hon. W. J. Knight, counsel for the
petitioner, addressed the council in
favor of the vacation of said streets.
Hon. J. H. Shields addressed the
council in his own behalf and in the
interest of those protesting against the
vacation of said streets.
Ald. Dennert moved to refer the mat-
ter to the committee df the whole and

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Ald. Berg, chairman of the finance
committee, reported as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen:—We herewith submit to
you the annual reports of the heads of
the various departments of our city
government. A careful examination is
essential to a proper understanding of
the operations of our municipal affairs,
the city's finances, and the causes
which are responsible for the existing
conditions. Every city official should
carefully examine them. By so doing
he can familiarize himself with the
manner and methods followed in the
past, and by the knowledge so obtained
avoid a repetition of former errors.
The last fiscal year in some respects
has differed from most of its prede-
cessors. While the actual expenditures
have been materially reduced the year's
balance does not show any reduction in
the floating debt. The reason for this
can be briefly stated. The reductions
in expenditures were not sufficient to
keep the latter within the city's rev-
enue.
We wish to call your attention to the
following brief summary of the ac-
companying documents.
The total expenditures show a reduc-
tion of $35,927.54 over the previous year.
The revenues in the same time were re-
duced by $3,943.13, mainly due to a
falling off in the amount collected for
licenses. The floating debt, which con
sists of outstanding, unpaid warrants,
was nominally increased by $71,881.67
but we have in the treasury, available
for general purposes, $46,653.24, which
must be subtracted from the amount
first named, thus leaving a net increase
of $25,228.43 for the year. Of this
amount $3,943.13, the decrease in the
revenue, could not be anticipated, as
you had every reason to figure on its
collection.
In giving the above explanation, your
finance committee is merely endeavor-
ing to aid you in a true understanding
of the actual state of affairs. As a
committee, they are not in the remotest
responsible for the general financial
policy of the city. Any credit or odium
that may attach to the city's finances
must in justice fall upon all the mem-
bers of the city council alike, as this
body never consults or heeds the fin-
ance committee's admonitions when ex-
pending the city's funds, or when in-
augurating measures for obtaining rev-
enue. The sole duty of the finance com-
mittee, since Dubuque has been a city,
has been to procure the funds with
which to pay off various classes of
debts after they have been contracted
by the city council.
;I2 Regular Session, April 7, 1898
When we consider the constant pres-
sure brought to bear upon you to re-
duce the burdens of taxation on the
one hand, and the clamor for work by
the unemployed on the other, the city
council may be content with the past
year's labors. The general business de-
pression left its imprint on our city af-
fairs. While the ability of the taxpay-
ers to meet their obligations has been
diminished, the host of unemployed,
who expected and demanded work
from the city was vastly increased.
The coming fisca.l,'year brings with
it a new system, wh'ch we believe and
hope will prove a loon to the citizens
of Dubuque. The new laws, as incor-
porated in the code. of 1897, give fair
promise of doing away with many of
the abuses of the p; st, and will better
enable 1 he aldermen to resist the im-
portunities of the,,undeserving and to
do justice to the ttxpayer.
In conclusion, we desire to return
thanks to the mayor. auditor, treas-
urer, recorder and city attorney for
the many servio* rendered us during
the past year.
Respectfully yours,
C. H. BERG.

will occupy our places In this chamber
for the next two years. The past is an
open book, which he who opens may
read; the future a sealed volume, the
pages of which no eye can scan until
the finger of time turns them. The
chief value of the review of the past is,
by its experience, to give admonitions
to and suggest guidance for those who
come after us.
I can see much in the past year, gen-
tlemen, that I feel entitles you to
pleasant recollections of it, and, I think,
to credit for your services. Your re-
sponsibilities have been burdensome
59 and your duties very exacting. Much
51 that you have done that is good has es-
caped the public eye, while your critics
38 have been industriously and tirelessly
124 engaged in holding up what they con-
sidered your shortcomings to public
68 view. 'Tis true you have expended
81 large sums of money for public pur-
8o poses; but this must be said in justice
to you, that in all those departments
89 where a saving seemed practicable you
34 made it to the amount of nearly $36,000.
82 In the street department, when a try-
ing condition, not a theory, confronted
147 you, unfortunately, the expenditures -
141 in truth, I must say, not always ju-
dicious—were large. But this must be
remembered, as an effect of this our
city now has all its streets, on the hills
and below. in better condition than
they have been within the recollection
of any man now in my presence. Aside
from having good streets, such as this
city should have, the saving result will
be that for years to come the necessity
will not exist for any such expendi-
tures as have been made for some years
past. For the coming year about one-
half the amount expended last year
has been deemed sufficient. So that
what seems like an unnecessary outlay
in the past, which is largely responsi-
ble for the actual increase in the float-
ing debt, will prove a saving in the
future.

Council. Gentlemen: we
to lay aside the official responsibilities
imposed upon us a year ago by our fel-
low citizens, and transfer the trust
committed to us to others chosen by
them to succeed us. Before severing
the ties that have bound us, in com-
pliance with a long established and
commendable custom, I desire to say a
few parting words to those with whom
I have been so closely and, in the main,
pleasantly associated, and, give greet-
ing, earnest and sincere, to those who
be a breach of trust to public duty, if
nothing worse.
I may now be pardoned if I make a
few suggestions to the new council
which my successor, who has had so
much to do with procuring money in
the past year and no otherormember in itss
expenditure than any
the council, will, I have no doubt, find
occasion to direct your attention more
particularly in the future.
Our floating debt now exceeds the
A(; Regular Se cion, April 7, 1898
sum of $350,000. the interest on which
will be nearly $60.00 per day for each of
the 365 days in the year.
Last year I felt the importance of re-
lieving the city from the burden of 6
per cent. interest, and suggested to the
council that inquiry be made if the
floating debt might not be legally
bonded at a much lower rate of inter-
est. The committee to which the in-
quiry was referred found what seemed
to be an insuperable obstacle in the
case of Helms vs. Lincoln, mayor of
Cedar Rapids, in the May term of the
supreme court last year.
If the constitutional limit of indebt-
edness has not been exceeded, it is pos-
sible that section 942, of the new code
relating to special charter cities, per-
taining to appropriations, may open a
way by which a part, if not all, of our
floating debt may be bonded. I need
not try to impress upon you the import
ance of this, if it can he done, and sim-
ply suggest that you seek advice as to
what you may be able to do.
Of the miscellaneous bonded debt
there falls due Jan. lst, 1899. $3,321.00
and April 1st. 1899, $34.132.00, which it
might be well for you to take into
thought at an early day.
In the way of economizing, permit the
to call your attention to the cost of the
street carpenter system that appears to
have fastened itself upon city business
methods. I find that the cost of this
department for the last fiscal year was
$3,216.85, made up as follows: For
lumber, $1,230.70; $32.15 for shoeing and
pasturing of horses and repairs of har-
ness; and $2,214.40 for carpenters and
assistants. No estimate is made here
for the feed and care of two horses and
the wear and tear and depreciation in
the value of horses and wagons. As an
offset of this we have special assess-
ments for sidewalk repairs, for the
whole year amounting to only $260.40.
to which must be added the cost of
whatever aprons. steps, guards and
fences that were made during the year.
and sprinkling of sand on icy walks
and crossings during the winter. To
my mind it is clear that the city will
save money by abolishing this street
carpenter system and delegating that
work to a careful and competent side-
walk inspector, who night be author-
ized to have such work done at a prop-
er price therefor.
Before concluding let me repeat what
I have said before to your predeces-
sors, if your presiding officer is to he
held responsible for the conduct of the
affairs of the city, especially for the
expenditure of the people's money, be
fair with him, as you would have a
right to expect of him to be with you.
Let no member of your body assume a
right which the law does not give him
to incur an expense without the knowl-
edge and direction of the council. Com-
mittees are wisely provided for to ex-
pedite public business, not to spend
public money. That is the province of
the entire council, and an assumed
right to do so by a member of a com-
mittee or any committee is an abuse of
power for which there is no justifica-
tion whatever. The mayor must bear
the censure for ill-advised use of mon-
ey. He should have a direct voice in
the necessity and manner of its use
to protect himself. I believe he ought
to be ex -officio a member of every com-
mittee that niay cause expense to be
made.
And now, gentlemen of the present
council, repeating the language that
sprang from the pure heart and fell
from the eloquent lips of the grandest
man our country has produced. "with
malice towards none and charity to-
wards all," I take official leave of you.
To the members of the new council and
to my successor I give the sincerest
and most friendly greeting, with the
heartfelt wish that they may so dis-
charge their public duties that two
years hence the public may feel that
their trust has not been misplaced.
And let us all remember, whether in
official or private life, that we are cit-
izens of the prettiest, most prosperous
and most promising city in the fair
state of Iowa. and that her interests
are our own.
Respectfully submitted,
T. T. DIJFFY, Mayor.
Mayor Duffy then called upon Mayor -
elect Berg and administered the oath of
office, then greeting him cordially, he
conducted him to the chair.
Mayor Berg assuming the office, then
called up the aldermen -elect and admin-
istered the oath of office to them, af-
ter which the retiring aldermen vacat-
ed their desks and the new aldermen
took their seats.
Mayor Berg then delivered his in-
augural address as follows:
,Gentlemen of the Council: In assum-
ing the office of mayor of Dubuque I
deem it proper to express my profound
appreciation of the honor paid me by
my fellow citizens and to assure them
of my earnest purpose to be faithful to
the trust reposed in me. My own hum-
ble endeavors, 1 promise, will always be
in the direction of securing what I may
conceive to be the public interest. I
am impressed with a sense, not only of
the honor, but also, and more especial-
ly of the responsibility which has been
conferred upon me, and it will he my
constant prayer that I may be able, at
the close of my administration, two
years hence, to render an account of mY
stewardship which will satisfy those
who have honored me with their confi-
dence.
It becomes my duty on this occasion
to make to the council such sugges-
tions as may be deemed profitalitle. I
feel that I need not suggest to this
body, fresh from the people and full of
good resolutions, that the public good
should be our single aim in all our un-
dertakings as representatives of the
city government. I wish, however, to
Regular Se:s'iull, April 7, 1898
offer a few practical recommendations
in the way of accomplishing this end.
It :Is to my mind of the first importance
that all matters referred to any com-
tnit:ee should be thoroughly investigat-
ed by that committee ,in advance of its
report to the council. The latter has
the right to assume that the commit
has made due investigation and has -s
ported all the facts necessary to forrr
a basis of judgment. Upon committee
reports, therefore, the action of the
count:l largely depends, and when these
reports are incomplete or erroneous, as
respects matters of fact, an erroneous
judgment by the council frequently fol-
lows. We can't trust our committees
unless they are diligent; and if we can-
not trust them the whole council must
assume a burden of detail and investi-
gation not properly its own. The com-
mittee Is the fountain from which in
many matters wise or unwise legisla-
tion proceeds the merits of the legisla-
tion bearing a certain relation to the
diligence cf the committee. I sin-
cerely hope this suggestion will not be
nt.glected.
An abuse which is perhaps of recent
origin deserves the attention M this
97
imposes on this councl the duty of ap-
pointing a committee to ascertain, 1"
possible, the value of the waterworks
and the terms on which It could be
purchased by the city.
In conclusion, I wish to remind you,
gentlemen, that wa have all entered up-
on the administration of this city's af-
fairs pledged to the exercise of economy.
In the presence of a debt which has
now reached the enormous total of $1,-
042.000, this economy is an imperative
and timmediate necessity. I wish to
pledge to you my earnest co-operation
in your efforts in this direction, and to
assure you farther that I will esteem
your aid in administering the
office the people have committeed to our
care.

have a street fcreman elected by the
council, and charged with the duty of
hiring the men needed on streets, some
aldermen have made a practice of put-
ting men to work themselves without
authority of the council. and often
without the knowledge of the street
foreman himself. We can't keep house
if this practice is to be continued. We
must have a head to the street depart-
ment, and when we have elected one we
shculd refuse to honor any bills for
work in his department contracted
without his authority. No alderman,
unless he has been appointed a commit-
tee with express power, should assume
to contract a dollar of debt for the city.
I would invite your attention to the
appropriations for the current year
made by the city council at its regular
session in February last. A section of
the new code relating to cities under
special charter provides that on or be-
fore the beginning of the fiscal year the
city's recvenues shall be approriated for
the several departments of the city gov
ernment, and the council is forbidden
to contract obligations in any depart-
ment in excess of the appropriations for
that department. This statute is vi-

which they would favor municipal own-

The ordinances are very important atu1
I recommend to the council that they 1i •
carefully considered and applied i y
them. The city has heretofore last
immense amounts of money by reason
of the fact that proper ordinances were
not in effect :n r,•c•: r 1 o dmproving
streets and collect'.ng assessments and
by reason of the fact that proper or-
dinances therefor were not legally and
properly applied.
The assessments for such purposes
amount to thousands of dollars each
year and unless all the provisions of :he.
ord.nanc•:s presented are accura:e:y and
fully complied with the assessments will
be !illegal and void and the city will be
unable to collect same.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Iowa, May 12, 1898.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The mayor at the in-
stance of the commiitaree of the whole
has requested me to give an opinion as
to the legal rights of parties involved
In controversy relative to the engineer's
office.
I find from the records and faots that,
in accordance with a prior resolution
adopted May 11, 1891, authorizing en-
gineer to appoint assistants subject to
approval of council, Engineer Blake re-
commended E. S. Hyde as assistant en-
gineer. The council approved the said
recommendation of the appointment of
Edward Hyde as assistant englineer
on June 1, 1891, and he was therefore
appointed on that date.
He was not appointed for any speci-
fied time and therefore under the law
and ordinance holds during the pleas-
ure of the council, as the ordinance pro-
vides any person so appointed and con-
firmed assistant engineer shall hold his
position during the pleasure of the
council unless appointed for a specified
time.
Edward Hyde has ever since held and
is new holding his office at the pleasure
of the council and will continue so to
do until the council decrees otherwise.
As to the appointment of M. Tschlrgl
as assistant engineer by the city en-
gineer, I find such appointment in-
valid.
The ordinance provides that the coun-
cil must first by resolution authorize
the city engineer to appoint an assts-
ant, and then his appointment must be
approved by a majority of all the alder-
men in order to take effect. As this has
not been done in Mr. Tschlrg!'s case
his appointment is therefore of no ef-
fect.
As Mr. Hyde .is mill assistant en-
gineer he has the right to perform the
duties that pertain to the discharge of
the affaires. of the city engineer's office.
As to the rodmen in the office unless
the council has given the authority of
appointing the rodmen to some one
else (and no such authority appears
of record) the council has the right to
appoint the rodmen.

be referred to the city engineer, to ex
amine and report whether the same is
signed by the owners of the majority
of the linear front feet of the property
abutting on such improvement, and a
majority of the owners of such adjacent
property. If he shall report that a
majority of such have signed said pe-
tition, the council may order the con-
struction or reconstruction of such
sewer to be made as hereinafter set
out.
Sec. 4. The city council may when-
ever deemed expedient, order such sew-
er to be constructed or reconstructed
without such a petition therefor having
been presented, provided the same to be
so ordered by the affirmative vote of

Sec. 5. Before the council orders any
sewer constructed or reconstructed it
shall in a proposed resolution declare
the necessity or advisability of such
sewer, stating generally the location,
general nature and extent of, and the
size and kind of materials proposed
to be used in such sewer, and shall
direct the engineer to prepare a plat

and general nature of such improve-
ment, the extent thereof, the size and
kind of materials to be used, and to
prepare an estimate of the cost there-
of, and the amount assessable upon
each lot or parcel of land adjacent to
or abutting thereon, per front foot or
square foot in area, and to file such
plat, specifications, and estimate in
the office of the city recorder.

plat is on file, and, generally the nature
of the sewer, its location, size and
kind of materials to be used and the
estimate of its cost, and fixing the time
before which objections can be flied,
which time shall not be less than five
days after the last publication of such
notice.
Sec. 7. The council after consider-
ing such objections, if any be filed,
shall determine what change, if any,
shall be made in the plans shown by
such plat and specifications and may by
resolution order such sewer describing
generally the extent of the work, the
size, and kind of materials to be used,
when the work shall be completed the
terms of payment, and shall fix the time
when proposals for doing the work will
be acted upon, and order publication of
notice, asking for such proposals by the
recorder.
Sec. 8. If such sewer is so ordered

envelope with a certified check paya-
ble to the order of the city treasurer in
a sum to be named in the notice for bids

where the bid is not accepted shall
be returned.
Sec. 9. At the meeting of the city
council at which bids are to be re-
ceived, such bids shall be opened and.

be rejected, and new bids ordered. The
city and the person or persons to
whom such contract is awarded, shall
thereupon enter into a contract for the
making or reconstruction of such sewer,
and no work shall be done under such
award until such contract or a certified
copy thereof shall have been filed in
the office of the recorder. Each con-
tractor for such improvement shall
give bond to the city with securities to
be approved by the council or board of
public works, where such board exists
for the faithful performance of such
contract, and suit on such bond may
be brought in the county of Dubuque,
Iowa.

ing for the payment of the assessed
cost of any sewer which has been, or

thereof, the kind of material to be used,
and to prepare an estimate of the cost
thereof, and the amount assessable on

of its cost, and fixing the time before
which objections can be filed, which
time shall be not less than five days af-

ed by ordinance. If a street is to be
improved on a grade other than the
one established, no work shall be com-
menced or continued on such improve-
ment, until said grade is changed and

when fully completed, will bring the
street up to the established grade, es-
tablished as above set forth. The tops
of all curbstones hereafter set shall cor
respond to the established grade of the
street. The city engineer shall see
that the work conforms to the estab-
lished grade, and is in accordance with

occupy with its track the streets order-
ed to be improved, a copy of the reso-
lution ordering such improvement; and

way company to improve such portion
of the street as is contemplated by
section three of this ordinance, specify-
ing in said notice the location and gen-
eral nature of said improvement, the
extent thereof, the kind of materials
to be used, and the time when said

railway or street railway company to
designate in writing, within five days
after the service of a copy of the same

railway company, whether or not It
purposes and desires to do the work of

failure of said street railway company
or railway company to so designate its
wishes in writing within the time spec-
ified, it will be presumed that said rail-
way or street railway company does not

self; and the council will then be at lib-
erty to make the improvement as con-
templated by law, at the expense of said
railway or street railway company. If

ing for the payment of the assessed cost

erty abutting thereon or adjacent there

pleted, to make requisition on the may-

City Attorney Duffy reported as fol-
lows:
Dubuque, Iowa, June 29, 1898.—To
200 Adjourned Regular Session, July 8, 1898. •
the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
Dubuque. Gentlemen: Pursuant to
instructions contained in the annexed
letter I submit this report on the police
matrons' question:
While the city, under its general
powers has the right to establish and
maintain a police matron's department
such as exists under the present gov-
ernment, still it is not obligatory or
compulsory on the part of the city to
maintain such an institution.
The law which first created a ma-
tron's department and made necessary
the appointment of two matrons in
cities having a population over 25,000
inhabitants in Iowa was not applicable
to cities acting under special charters.
The provisions of this act are con-
tained substantially in the new code in
sections 654, 665 and 672, which provide
that a matron's department shall be
created and two or more matrons shall
be appointed, but the said provisions
of the new code are not made appli-
cable to cities acting under special
charters and therefore do not affect
Dubuque.
The council has the right to maintain
the matron's department or discon-
tinue it as it sees fit; or it can make
whatever provision it, desires,in regard
to the same.
—Thomas H. Duffy,
City Attorney.
Ald. Crawford moved that the re-
port be received and filed. Carried.

Gentlemen:—The claim for $6.35,
which Mr. John Pier makes against
the city of Dubuque is correct.
Through some oversight his witness
fees were not taxed with the other
costs in the Forester case. The books
at the court house now show that Mr.
Pier is entitled to $6.35 as witness fees
in said case. Mr. James E. Knight
said to me that Mr. Pier was subpoe-
naed and was a witness for the city on
the trial of the case. I would there-
fore recommend that a warrant be

James H. Boyce, street commissioner.
The report as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen:—In compliance with your
resolution of July 8, 1898, we would most
respectfully report as follows: That
the so-called llth street wall, as now
built is about 300 feet long and is cov-
ered mostly by two contracts with I.
Proctor; one dated Sept. 17, 1897, and
one dated March 23, 1898. Work has
only stopped upon these contracts the
fore part of the present month. Cer-
tain plans or sketches and estimates
of a proposed wall by M. Tsohirgi. Jr.,
city engineer, were approved by the
council under date of 1897.
What force of influence said plans
have with the contracts under consid-
eration we are unable to say •at the
present time. The aforesaid con-
tracts we would most respectfully refer
to your honorable body for a careful
perusal and consideration. We would
more particularly call your attention
to the following extracts from con-
tracts under date of September 17,
1897. For convenience are numbered
paragraphs 1 to 5 inclusive:
1. It is expressly understood and
agreed that the entire improvement
shall be done in a thorough and work-
manlike manner, and to the entire sat-
isfaction and acceptance of the com-
mittee on streets and engineer.
2. The wall will be laid to such
grade and lines as are given by the
city engineer. Such stone on the
ground as are suitable and such of
the old wall as directed will be taken
down and used in the new wall. Con-
tractor to be paid his price for.relay-
ing.
3. The wall (except coping) will be
laid dry. All rock to be taken from
the quarry below the 16 -inch ledge,
laid on their natural bed, in courses,
and having close joints. Any in-
equalities removed so as to bear full
length. . No spalls allowed.
4. Where wall is 4 feet thick or less,
all stone must be full thickness of wall.
Where necessary stones must be re-
moved so as to tie new work to old
work as directed by city engineer.
5. The coping will be rock faced on
each side pitched to true
lines, close joints and set in ce-
ment. No stone less than 4 feet long.
Coping to be paid for same as wall.
Paragraph 1 places said work in the
hands of the street comm"tee and en-
gineer.
Paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 have been
ignored or violated. Neither the let-
ter nor the spirit of the same being
In any way observed or carried out.
After such observations of said wall
as is practicable since the date of your
order, we do hereby report said wall
as constructed by said contractor un-
der said contracts and specifications
does in no wise comply with said speci-
fications and contracts. As to meas-
urements and amount due upon same
we would most respectfully ask for
further time.
Respectfully submitted,
E. S. Hyde, Ass't City Engineer.
J. H. Boyce, Street Commissioner.
The mayor then read the notice
served on Mr. I. Proctor by the city
marshal July 25, ]898. The notice as
follows:
Dubuque, la.., July 25, 1898.
To Mr. Isaac Proctor:
Dear Sir:—As reported by the city
engineer and as apparent to public ob-
servation, the wall constructed by you
on the east side of DeSoto Terrace•. is
in a dangerous condition and threatens"
to fall and thereby cause great des-
truction of property owned by private
individuals as well as great loss and
inconvenience to the public and the
city.
As the work has never been accepted
by the city, you are legally responsible
for such loss and damages, and also
to the city for your failure to faith-
fully carry out your contract.
You are therefore, hereby notified to
take immediate steps to remedy the
defects in the construction of the work,
and to prevent any possible damage to
life or property; otherwise the city
will be. compelled to proceed at once
to do what may be necessary for that
purpose.
(Signed.) C. H. BERG,
Mayor of the City of Dubuque.

Council met at 8:30 p. m.
Mayor Berg in the chair.
Present—Aids. Crawford, Duggan,
Frith, Jones, McLaughlin and Wales.
Absent—Ald. Flynn.
His honor, Mayor Berg, stated that
the object of the meeting was for the
purpose of hearing the reports on De-
Soto Terrace wall.
The mayor read the report of City
Engineer Blake which was accom-
panied with plan for reconstructing
said wall. The report is as follows:
Hon. C. H. Berg, Mayor of the City of
Dubuque: At the request of the city
council in reference to what in my
opinion would be best for the city to do
with the present condition of the re-
taining wall on DeSoto Terrace from
Eleventh street side, or more particu-
arly where the bulge in said wall has
taken place, I would beg to make the
following suggestions or recommenda-
tions:
If it is possible for the city to get
from ten to twelve feet in width and
fifty to sixty feet in length of ground
from Mrs. Lull on the west end of her
lot, I would recommend buttresses to
be built about the same thickness as
the present wall at the base and to
be carried up with the same batter as
the old wall from twenty to twenty -flue
feet high; buttresses are like counter -
forts except they are placed in front of
walls instead of behind, they greatly
increase the strength of a wall but are
seldom used only as a remedy when a
wall is seen to be falling •
There is some question as to what
kind of a foundation can be procured
for a buttress wall and if it becomes
necessary to dig much below the pres-
ent wall I would in no way recommend
a wall of this kind. The object in us-
ing a wall like this, would be that the
filling in the rear of the present wall
would not have to be removed as at
present it has about settled to a solid
basis.
I would, however, much favor the
following plan: To take down the
present wall and rebuild it in the sec-
tion which is about to fall with a heav-
ier wall and in addition thereto build
two cross walls, which would be an-
chored in the new work and carried up
from fifteen to twenty feet in height
and about the same in length and from
six to eight feet in thickness, the cross
walls to at right angles to the main
wall. This would have a tendency to
stiffen this part of the wall that now
stands the greatest resistance.
This in my judgment is the
most practical method in over-
coming the difficulties. The
stone used in the new work should have
axed or brush -hammered beds and to
have a dress joint from six to eight
inches. I do not consider the wall as
it now stands in an unsafe condition
but am satisfied that in time it will
fall and would advise the council that
the wall be taken down. For further
information I would refer you to plans
hereto attached.
—E. C. BLAKE,
City Engineer.
Also read the report of E. S. Hyde,
assistant engineer and Jas. H. Boyce,
street commissioner which is as fol-
lows:

should be taken down and rebuilt; that
part of the wall south of Mrs. Lull's

fully submitted,
