To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At the last regular
meeting your honorable body referred
to me the report of John Mahoney,
street commissioner, and the treasur-
er's receipt attached thereto, for the
sum of ninety-seven and 52-100
($97.52) dollars, which was paid by
the waterworks trustees for repairing
\Vest Third street. There seemed to
be some question in your minds into
what fund this money should be
placed, since it had been taken from
a fund which was created by a special
appropriation. I beg to advise you
that from a consideration of all the
circumstances surrounding this trans-
action, it is my opinion that this
money should be returned to the fund
out of which it was originally taken,
and should not be put into the gen-
eral expense fund.
Respectfully submitted,
M. 11. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. McIntosh the re-
port of the city attorney was approved

property, at 1073 White street, the
damage having been done at the
time the alley was being improved.
The amount of Mr. Hilger's claim is
seventeen and 50-100 ($17.50) dollars.
I beg to state that we have investi-
gated this claim and find the same
to be 'a true and correct statement
of the claimant's damages, and would
therefore, respectfully recommend
that his claim be allowed, and a war-
rant be drawn in his favor in the sum
of seventeen and 50-109 ($17.50) dol-
lars.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.

Dubuque, Iowa, Jan. 19, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At a recent meeting
of your Honorable Body several days
for extra grading claimed to have
been done upon various street im-
provemenes by James Lee, contractor,
were referreci to the undersigned for
a report upon the question whether
or not, under the contract and speci-
fications, said contractor was entitled
to recover from the city. We beg
to state that we have made a careful
and complete investigation of the
specifications and find that there ex-
ists no liabality upon which the con-
tractor can base a recovery. The
specifications specifically provide that
where a street is to be re -paved the
contractor must submit his hid for
the completed work-, which includes
the grading and the laying of the pave-
ment as a completed job. The con-
tractor is also instructed that before
he submits his bid for the work he
must inform himself what work must
oe done under his contract and base
his bid for the work upon such infor-
mation. By his contract the con-
tractor agrees to complete the work
and not only a portion thereof. If it
happens that extra grading must be
done to make the pavement conform
to the established grade, the con-
tractor muat. do this at his own risk,
which risk he assumes when he bids
upon the work. This being the situa-
tion we, arrive at the conclusion that
whatever extra grading was done by
the contractor upon the several im-
provements, was done at the contract-
or's own risk, and for which the city
has no legal obligations to pay.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. BLAKE,
City Engineer.
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Atorney.
On motion of Ald. Clancy the report
of the city atorney and city engineer
was approved and the bills received

'i`J the Honorable Mayor and City
Council.
Gentlemen: On September 23rd,
1915, there were levied by your hon-
orable body a special assessment for
the construction of a cement side-
walk abutting the north one-half of
City Lot 210, owned by the Dubuque

I am informed that no cement walk
was laid in front of the north halt
of City Lot 210 but instead was laid
in front of the south half of City Lot
210. As the owner of the north half
of C ity Lot 210 desires to clear the
title to said property, I would recom-
mend that said assessment be can-
celled, and that such other steps be
taken as may be proper to correct said
assessment.

Dubuque, Iowa, May 24, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: At a recent meeting
of your committee of the whole, the
following bills of James R. Lee were
referred to me for a report thereon:
To furnishing steam roller for
rolling subgrade in 1915 $352.00
To interest on 5 per cent re-
tained on Rhomberg avenue
contract from „an. 7, 1915,
to Jan. 16, 1916, 6 per cent 192.63
on $3,133.46
To interest on balance retain-
ed on same street, 6 per 8 44
cent on $633.46, to date
The first item refers to rolling the
grade on various streets prparatory
proper.
to laying down the pavement
It is claimed by the contractor that
after he had his grade ready for roll-
ing he was unable to getathe
hn ity ot roll-
er to do such rolling,
to
save time and as a matter of protec-
tion to the work, he furnished his
own roller and men, and thus did the
work himself. For this work he is
seeking to recover the amount above
stated. In my opinion he has no legal
right to receive the same. Under the
specifications, which are a part of the
contract between the city and the
contractor, it is provided that when a
street shall have been graded and
shaped to its proper form, it shall be
thoroughly rolled with a steam roller
furnished by the city. Under this
section it becomes a part of the city's
duty under the contract to roll the
street when it is ready for rolling,
but in no manner is the contractor
supposed to do that work. The con-
tractor is not expected to do any part
of the city's part of the contract. If
he does perform any part of the
city's contract in excess of what is
expected of him, before he can re-
ceive compensation for such work,
which might be called extra work, he
must have a written order from the
proper authorities. If it is true that
the contractor in this case had some
difficulty in getting the city's roller,
he should had discontinued his work
and waited until the roller was avail-
able, or made some arrangement with
the proper atuhorities for the use of
his own roller and for compensation.
With reference to Mr. Lee's claim
for interest upon the money which
was retained for a year by the city
as a guarantee that the improvement
will be kept in first class condition
June 1, 1916.
for that period of time, it is my opin-
ion that his claim for interest can-
not be sustained. My reason for this
position is that under the contract
with Mr. Lee it is specifically provid-
ed that 5 per cent of the total cost of
the improvement will be retained by
the city for one year after the com-
pletion of the work as a guarantee
that the improvement will be kept in
first class condition for that period
of time. The contractor when he
signs the contract agrees that the
city shall have the right to retain
this amount of money for the pur-
pose above indicated. The object of
this provision in the contract is that
there be some money available for a
period of one year to make the nec-
essary repairs upon an improvement
if the contractor himself should re-
fuse to do so. The 5 per cent re-
tained is not due or payable to the
contractor until after the expiration
of that year. There is noexpress
or
implied obligation to pay interest u
on that money during the year that
it is held. However, if the money,
or any part of it, is held by the city
after the year has expired and after
the time this money becomes due and
payable to the contractor, there
would arise an implied obligation
nUpon the part of the city, p
inter-
estay upon the money retained after the
year has expired until the date of
payment. Applying this rule then to
the interest claimed in this case, it is
my opinion, that the contractor is
only entitled to interest upon the
money retained by the city after the
year had expired, but that no inter-
est can be demanded upon the money
retained by the city during the year
that the money is held as a guaran-
Intee. other
the
titledsum of Eight and 43-100
($8.43) Dollars as interest upon the
sum of Six Hundred Thirty-three and
46-100 ($633.46) Dollars, this being
the sum retained by the city after the
year had expired from the date of the
completion of the contract.

Dubuque, Iowa, May 24, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: At a recent meeting
of your honorable body I was in-
structed to report upon the petition
of the property owners abutting the
alleys between Clay and Iowa and
Clay and White streets, in which
these property owners claim to com-
pensation for the salvage which was
taken from such alleys at the time
they were improved.
I beg to report that the records of
the City Council of Nov. 19th, 1914,
show that said petition received
your attention and was upon that
date received and filed. There is
therefore no petition of these proper-
ty owners pending and nothing upon
which I can base a report.
Respectfully yours,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Frith the report
of the city attorney was approved.
June 1, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and Mem-
bers of the City Council.
Gentlemen: At the regular meet-
ing of the City Council May 18, 1916,
1 received orders to prepare plat for
8 -inch sanitary sewer on Cora street
and Exchange street.
In order to put in a sewer a street
grade must be adopted. Now where
Cora and Exchange streets join there
is only a twenty-five foot strip for
about thirty feet on Exchange street.
There has been petitions and orders
for the improvement of this street
several tines during the past two
years. If we draw a grade for the
narrow strip it will not lit the street
when widened and if the street is im-
proved we will have to get waivers
signed to change the grade adopted
in order to put in the sewer. These
waivers would probably be hard to
get.
I wish the council, understanding
these circumstances, would let me
know whether they want us to go
ahead with this work before the
street is widened at this point.
Very truly yours,
F. J. \lcNU1. Y,
City Engineer.
On motion of Ald. l'lanondon the
report of the city engineer was re-
