Dubuque, Iowa,
May 8, 1933.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Two law suits are
pending in the District Court of Du-
buque County growing out of the
accident which occurred on August
7, 1931, at the northerly terminus
of Algona Street. One of these
cases is for $20,000 in which Bar-
bara Ament, administratrix, is su-
ing for the death of her son, and
the other is for Three Thousand
($3,000.00) Dollars for personal in-
juries sustained by Evelyn Pelzer.
Three claims have been filed for
damages growing out of the same
accident, one by Jack Redmond for
damages to his automobile in the
sum of $650.00, one by Ned Red-
mond for personal injuries in the
sum of $2,000.00, and the third by'
Genevieve Freyman for personal in-
juries in the sum of $2,000.00.
The total amount involved in
these suits and claims is $27,650.
I have affected a settlement in
these matters and, if the same is
approved by your Honorable Body,
I recommend that warrants be
drawn as follows:
To Guy P. Linville, attorney for
Barbara Ament, Admx., of the es-
tate of Ambrose Ament, deceased.
$1350.00.
To Guy P. Linville, attorney for
Evelyn Pelzer, $150.00.
To Smith & O'Connor, attorneys
for Jack Redmond, $250.00.
To Smith & O'Connor, attorneys
for Ned Redmond, $250.00.
To Smith & O'Connor, attorneys
for Genevieve Freyman, $300.00.
The plaintiffs in the two law ac-
tions will dismiss their suits and
pay the costs.
It is my judgment that these set-
tlements, under the circumstances,
are advantageous to the City and
that the verdicts which would be
returned against the City would be
considerably greater if the cases
were tried to juries at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
M. 11. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the recommendation of City Solic-
itor Czizek be approved and that
warrants in the various amounts be

Healey, owner of the South 26 ft. of
Lot 245 on the west side of Central
Avenue, has today presented a re-
quest that the City Council exon-
erate him from the payment of the
special assessment made for a new
water and sewer service connection
at the time of the improvemnt in
1931 of Central Avenue.
He presents an agreement, dated
May 15, 1923, between the Mettel
Land & Security Company and him-
self and wife, at which time the sale
of the South 26 ft. of Lot 245 was
made. On page 2 of said agreement,
the following paragraph exists:
"The parties of the second part,
namely Charles Joseph Healey and
his wife, Alice, are hereby given
the privilege to make all the pro-
per sewer and water connections
with that as laid on the northerly
34 ft. of Lot 245 in Davis Farm
Addition, Dubuque County, Iowa,
the intention being to permit par-
ties of the second part the priv-
ilege as reserved in the deed of
Michael P. Mettel and wife to Wm.
Zieman, owner of the North 34 ft.
of Lot 245, dated February 24,
1917, and recorded in Book 84, T.
L., Page 218, of Dubuque County,
Iowa, records."
Mr. Healey today makes the state-
ment that he objected to the new
sewer and water connections in-
stalled to the south 26 ft. of Lot 245
at the time of construction. How-
ever, the connections were installed
and assessed by Council, totalling
$67.22, including $52.00 for water,
$14.00 for sewer and $1.22 interest.
Mr. Healey's objection to this pro-
cedure was that until about a month
ago he did not know that the assess-
ments were levied against this par-
ticular portion of Lot 245 as he was
purchasing the same from the Met -
tel Land & Security Company on a
land contract basis.
His question is, can any reduction
or method be approved by Council
to revoke this assessment or any
portion thereof?
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

May 15, 1933.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: There has been a con-
certed effort on the part of citizens
in the south end of town to secure
a suitable playground and baseball
field, without having to go all the
way to Comiskey Field for their
games. The area most desirable is
the Rafferty Slough sand fill, which,
of course, in its present state, is
impossible.
In the past two years, there have
been times when a few loads of dirt
fill were available and a bit of the
corner was filled in. However, if we
wait for such things as storm sewer
excavations, etc., to obtain enough
fill, the work will likely never be
done. The best way would be to
hire trucks and buy dirt and put it
there and have the job done with
once and for all.
r estimate the amount of fill (fig-
uring an average 4 inch depth) at
3,000 sq. yds. Possible places to get
the fill are the Ott property at Val-
ley and Southern Ave. or the Scully
property at Grandview and the Rock-
dale Road. Either place would make
a very short haul.
Now due to the cost, which I esti-
mate roughly at $1,000.00, it is obvi-
ously impossible for the Recreation
Department to do the work, but
when the benefits are visualized, the
cost seems insignificant. The area I
anticipate filling will be aproximate-
ly 400 by 600, larger than Comiskey
Field. Now, Comiskey Field was
purchased for $27,500. If for $1,000,
Comiskey Field can be duplicated in
the south end, the money would cer-
tainly be well spent.
Activities would include soft ball,
hard ball, football, horseshoes, skat-
ing, track meets and soccer; in fact,
the program that could be carried
out on such a field would not only
greatly increase the recreational fac-
ilities of the city, but would also
make evident the fact that we are
trying to treat all sections of the
city in a fair and impartial manner.
Respectfully,
SYL. McCAULEY,
Recreational Director.
Councilman McEvoy moved that
the request be granted. Seconded by
Councilman Thompson. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas — Mayor Kane, Councilmen
McEvoy, Schuckert, Thompson.
Nays —None.
Absent — Councilman Andelfinger.
May 10th, 1933.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Dubuque, -Iowa.
Gentlemen: The question has
arisen today as to whether or not
our Electrical Inspector and City
Electrician have the right to insist
that users of radios do not cross the
public street or public alley with
radio receiving wires, or antennas.
Upon investigation I am told that
quite a number of antennas have
been recently erected across public
streets and alleys without any per-
mit being granted by any city
official.
I question seriously the possibility
of damage suits in case of these
radio wires faling, or the fastenings
breaking loose from one building to
another, and said apparatus drop-
ping on the streets or alley.
One very serious point to consider
is the fact that in some cases there
may be radio receiving wires strung
across electric light wires and in
case of failure of the receiving
wires they may drop on the light
wires and fall into the street and
cause serious accident or death.
There is also a fire hazard, due to
lightning, in connecting a receiving
wire from one building to another.
I suggest that this matter be re-
ferred to the City Solicitor and if
possible an ordinance drafted pro-
hibiting all past and any future in-
stallations of this nature.
Yours very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the City Manager be instructed to

May 23, 1933.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: There has been pre
sented today a letter under date of
May 13th from a former City Man-
ager to Mr. George Masters, plumb-
ing inspector, as follows:
120 Special Session, May 26th, 1933
"Mr. George Masters,
Plumbing Inspector,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Sir: When Farley Street
and Thomas Place were paved last
year, the sewer was extended south-
erly on Thomas Place for the pur-
pose of getting the sewer out from
underneath the pavement and it has
now come to our attention that Mr.
Ben L. Ernst, the owner of Lots 45,
46 and 47, Althauser's Subdivision,
is preparing to connect to this sewer
with plumbing that he is now in-
stalling in his home.
Mr. Ernst did not pay an assess-
ment for this sewer and the Council,
at their meeting last night, instruct-
ed me to have you collect the sum of
$,J.90 as his portion of the sewer
before he is allowed to connect. Will
you, therefore, kindly keep this mat-
ter in mind.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) O. A. KRATZ,
City Manager."
Upon investigation, I find that a
sanitary sewer stub was construct-
ed southerly from the intersection
of the sanitary manhole at Farley
and Thomas Streets to opposite Lot
45 on which Mr. Ben L. Ernst had
at that time erected a house.
You will note that the original
proposition from Mr. Kratz stated
that Council stipulated that the
payment of $70.90 must be made
prior to the time of making a con-
nection from house on Lot 45 to
this stub sewer. Mr. Ernst is now
ready to make his connection, but
does not have the money to make
the full pyament of $70.90. No as-
sessment exists on this lot for this
stub sewer and it seems to be a
verbal understanding that the full
amount be paid prior to connection.
Mr. Ernst now requests that Coun-
cil extend the payment of this stub
on the basis that he can pay $5.00
down and approximately $5.00 per
month for the next 13 or 14 months,
without interest. This is a minimum
monthly payment and, if possible,
the entire balance of the $70.90 will
be paid prior to the 14 -month period.
Yours- very truly,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Resolution No. 31 -33
Whereas, the Forty -fifth General
Assembly of the State of Iowa en-
acted the Conference Committee
Amendment to Senate Substitute for
Senate File 131, providing for the
mandatory reduction of tax levies in
the year 1933 and 1934, using as a
base for such reductions the rate of
taxes levied for the several funds
in the year 1930; and,
Whereas, the Police Pension Fund
of the City of Dubuque is affected
by the law aforesaid and a com-
pliance with the same will result in
a substantial decrease in the amount
of money that will be available for
said Police Pension Fund in the fis-
cal year 1934 below the sum actu-
ally needed to pay pensions to re-
tired policemen, their widows and
minor children, unless said fund for
the City of Dubuque is exempted
from the application of the provis-
ions of Section One of said law; and,
Whereas, special provisions are
made in said law for exemption from
the application of its yrovisions
under certain defined conditions, one
122 Special Session, May 26th, 1933
of said conditions being that where
the levy in 1930 for a particular fund
was low as compared with the levy
for the same fund in any of the four
years immediately preceding or the
year immediately following and
strict necessity exists, then, and in
such event, relief from the applica-
tion of said law may be had by ap-
peal to the Budget Director of the
State of Iowa; and,
Whereas, the tax levy for the Pol-
ice Pension Fund in 1930 was fifty -
one hundredths (.51) of a mill, pro-
ducing the sum of Six Thousand
One Hundred Twelve Dollars and
Eighty -three Cents ($6,112.83) on a
taxable valuation of Eleven Million
Nine Hundred Eighty -five Thousand
Nine Hundred Forty -nine Dollars
($11,985,949.00) ; and,
Whereas, since 1931 the number of
pensioners entitled to benefits from
said fund has substantially increased
and the amount necessary to pay
such pensions during the fiscal year
1934 is estimated to be Fourteen
Thousand Six Hundred Forty -three
Dollars ($14,643.00) which sum can-
not be realized by complying with
the provisions of said law; and,
Whereas, in order to produce the
sum required for said pension fund
during the fiscal year 1934 it is nec-
essary that the City of Dubuque be
relieved from the operation of said
law in order that a millage levy
may be made sufficient to produce
said sum of $14,643; and,
Whereas, the millage levy of 1930
for the Police Pension Fund was
low as compared with the levy for
said fund in the year 1931 on ac-
count of the number of pensioners
then receiving payments from said
fund; and,
Whereas, a condition of strict nec-
essity has arisen;
Now, Therefore,
Be it Resolved by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
That the Manager and Clerk be
and they are hereby directed to pre-
pare and file with the Budget Di-
rector of Iowa, as by law provided,
an application for exemption from
the provisions of Section One of the
Conference Committee Amendment
to Senate Substitute for Senate File
131, requesting therein that the City
of Dubuque be relieved from the
operation of said law in the tax levy
for the Police Pension Fund in the
year 1933, an emergency and strict
necessity for such relief having
arisen, and further requesting that
said Budget Director fix a time and
place for a public hearing at which
such showing may be made and pre-
scribe a notice of such hearing.

Resolution No. 32 -33
Whereas, the Forty -fifth . General
Assembly of the State of Iowa en-
acted the Conference Committee
Amendement to Senate Substitute
for Senate File 131, providing for
the mandatory reduction of tax le-
vies in the years 1933 and 1934, us-
ing as a base for such reduction the
rate of taxes levied for the several
funds in the year 1930; and,
Whereas, the Fire Pension Fund
of the City of Dubuque is affected
by the law aforesaid and a compli-
ance with the same will result in a
substantial decrease in the amount
of money that will be available for
said fund in the fiscal year 1934 be-
low the sum actually needed to pay
pensions to retired firemen, their
widows and minor children, unless
said fund for said `City of Dubuque
is exempted from the application of
the provisions of Section One of said
law; and,
Whereas, special provisions are
made in said law for exemption
from the application of its provis-
ions under certain defined condi-
tions, said conditions being that
where the levy in 1930 for a partic-
ular fund was low as compared with
the levy for the same fund in any
of the four years immediately pre-
ceding or the year immediately fol-
lowing, and where the levy in 1930
for such fund was low on account
of the contemplated use of an ac-
cumulated surplus or balance then
on hand, and where strict necessity
exists, then, and in such event, re-
lief from the application of said law
may be had by appeal to the Budget
Director of the State of Iowa; and,
Whereas, the tax levy for the Fire
Pension Fund in 1930 was one and
four hundredths mills (1.04), produc-
ing the sum of Twelve Thousand
Four Hundred Sixty -five Dollars and
Thirty -nine Cents, ($12,465.39), on a
taxable value of Eleven Million,
Nine Hundred Eighty -five Thousand,
Nine Hundred Forty -nine Dollars
($11,985,949.00) ;
Whereas, in 1931 there existed on
hand in said fund a surplus of Five
Thousand Dollars, ($5,000.00), which
reduced the tax requirements for
said fund to such extent; and,
Whereas, since 1931 the number
of pensioners entitled to benefits
from said fund has substantially in-
creased and all surpluses of prior
years have been exhausted and the
amount necessary to pay such pen-
sions during the fiscal year 1934 is
estimated to be Sixteen Thousand
Five Hundred Dollars, ($16,500,00),
which sum cannot be realized by
complyiing with the provisions of
said law; and,
Whereas, in order to produce the
sum required for said pension fund
during the fiscal year 1934 it is nec-
essary that the City of Dubuque be
relieved from the operation of said
law in order that a millage levy be
made sufficient to produce said sum
of $16,500.00; and,
Whereas, the milage levy of 1930
for said Fire Pension Fund was low
as compared with the four preceding
years because of the number of pen-
sioners then receiving payments
from said fund and, further, on ac-
count of the contemplated use of the
accumulated surplus then on hand;
and,
Whereas, a condition of strict
necessity has arisen:
Now, Therefore,
Be it Resolved by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque:
That the Manager and Clerk be
and they are hereby directed to pre-
pare and file with the Budget Di-
rector of Iowa, as by law provided,
an application for exemption from
the provisions of Section One of the

Resolution No. 33 - 33
Whereas, the value of taxable
property within the City of Dubuque
has been reduced by order of the
State Board of Assessment and Re-
view and, as a result thereof, the
Fire Maintenance Fund of said City
for the year 1934 will be wholly in-
sufficient to meet the estimated re-

emergency tax is authorized to be
levied by the Budget Director of the
State of Iowa in sufficient amount
to produce approximately the sum
of Sixteen Thousand Nine Hundred
Twenty -eight Dollars, ($16,928.00);
and, -
Whereas, this Council recognizes
the existence of said anticipated
emergency, and, in the interest of
the public welfare and the protec-
tion of life and property, deems it
its duty to make adequate provisions
for the operation of the Fire De-
partment for the year 1934 and to
that end to exercise its right to ap-
ply to the Budget Director of the
State of Iowa for authority to levy
an emergency tax in 1933 for use in
the year 1934;
Now, Therefore,
Be it Resolved by the City Coun-

That the Manager and Clerk be
and they are hereby directed to pre -

an emergency tax of sufficient mill-
age to produce the sum of $16,928.00,
