Carried by the following N ote: Yeas —Mayor Meuser, Councilmen Andelfinger, Jansen, McEvoy, and Schuckert. Nays —None. Petition of the Geo. M. Bechtel Co., stating that at the time of ask- ing for bids on the $65,000 refund• ing bonds, there was no statement made to . the bidders that the City had started proceedings with any attorneys to secure their opinion, but merely that the successful bid- der was to pay for his own attor- ney's opinion and furnish the print- ed bonds. Indefinitely it was presumed that the successful bidder would submit proceedings to attorney's Chapman & Cutler, Chicago. In our own case, we knew that the original issue has been approved by them and that there should be no further question regarding the legal- ity and we did not intend to submit to these attorneys except in case of some particular question in regard t-i legality. Shortly after the bidding, the pre- paration of proper forms was begun in our office and forwarded to the city and it was after this had been done, that we were advised that tho city through its Solicitor, had al- ready been submitting proceedings tc Chapman & Cutler and statement was made that we would be expected to take care of the expense of these attorneys to the extent of $115.00. We object to this expense because in the first place, as stated before, we expect to use Chapman & Cutler's opinion only in case some particular questions of legality arise and in the second place, where proceedings are furnished by us and submitted to Chapman and Cutler, the expense of their opinion on an issue of this amount is to us only $75.00. We feel that we have gone far enough ir. agreeing to absorb the expense in the amount of $75.00, and that rt is unfair and unjust to ask us to absorb additional expense in the amount of a further $40.00. We do not want to incur the ill v. of the City officials but 011 the other hand, we feel that it is entire- ly unfair to ask us to take care or additional expense which has been incurred through no fault of ours.

Gentlemen: In connection with the request of Mr. Frank Hamel, Jr., dated October 19th and referred to the City Manager by Council, .Oc- tober 26th for report, please be ad- vised as follows: Mr. Hamel requests the use of the sidewalk space on York Street for a terrace from his side lot line to within six or seven feet of the curb line. The lot upon which this house is erected is located at the northwest corner of Curtis and York Streets and is designated as Lot 1 of 1 of Part of Subdivision of Min- eral Lot 149, with a frontage of fifty feet on Curtis Street and a flankage of 100 feet on York Street. The house is set back in line with the other Curtis Street houses and is built approximately live feet from the west lot line. The front of the house is about forty feet iu width, consequently it comes f'•om within possibly five feet from the side lot line. The house is set above Curtis Street, with a first floor elevation of possibly four feet higher than the curb. York Street drops down along the side of the said lot at an approximate rate of 8% so that the side yard along the east side of said yard at the rear of the house is approximately ten feet above street grade of York Street. A considerable fill has been placed out on the sidewalk space along the west side of York Street at the side of this house. When York Street is finally improved and the sidewalks are erected within one foot of the property line, which is the City requirement by ordinance, it is the writer's belief that a wall shall have to be built along the prop- erty line of York Street to protect the house and the walk along the east side of said house. For the time being, it would seem that no objection would be encount- ered by the City in permitting the use of a portion of this terrace to extend on the sidewalk. However, if is not the writer's recommendation that permanent permission be given for this encroachment. I would sug- gest further that no permanent steps or walk or walls be erected in any other position except as required by ordinance. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman Andelfinger moved that the petition be granted tempor- arily, at the pleasure of the Council. Seconded by Councilman Schuckert.

Gentlemen: The prices secure: today for materials include two con- templated projects that have been discussed With Council, yet the auth- A -1 350 Regular Session, November 2nd, 1931 orization has not been given for either. It is suggested that consideration be given toward the construction of a 1500 foot monolithic concrete box sewer made from local labor and local materials to be erected on Valley Street from the present new sewer south of Southern Avenue ap- proximately 100 feet up Valley and Quinn Streets for 1500 feet to Rush Street. The size of this sewer would vary from 4 feet by 4 feet down to 3 feet by 3 feet section. The ap- proximate cost is estimated at $4,000. This would provide relief from the present flooding condition on Rush Street and contemplates an addition- al authorization for a smaller sewer on Rush Street in the near future. The other section that has been discussed and authority has been granted on the upper portions of the said drainage system is Rosedale Avenue. It is recommended that authorization be granted to construct en Rosedale Avenue sidewalk from Parker's Lane to, Auburn Street a concrete monolithic structure similar to the above mentioned construction for 1900 feet varying in size from a 4 by 4 foot to a 3 by 3 foot section. The approximate cost is estimated at $5,000. This will prevent the wash cn Rosedale Avenue from the sec- tion immediately east of the asphalt paving which is a badly needed storm sewer relief measure. A petition this summer was re- ceived from residents of 28th and Muscatine Street requesting a sew- er be Constructed along 28th Street. Council authorized and the City in- stalled approximately 200 feet of this sewer. It is suggested also that au- thorization be granted to construct approximately 900 feet more of an 18 inch vitrified tile sewer starting at a point approximately 200 feet west of Central Avenue and extend- ing to Muscatine Street. The esti- mate on this is approximately $1601. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman McEvoy moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved, the expense b' charged to the storm sewer fund. Seconded by Councilman Andelfinger.

Resolution Resolved by the City Council of the City of Dubuque: That the shippers of the Upper Mississippi Valley, including the manufacturers and the grain and live stock shippers of Iowa, have learned with surprise and amaze- ment of the action of the Secretary of War in suspending Federal Barge Line rates on cotton from Memphis to New Orleans upon complaint of rail carriers alleging that these rates represented unfair competition with them. We view such action as the sub- ordination of the public welfare to private interest. So it will be re- garded by the people of Iowa and of that potentially great commercial re- gion stretching along the Mississippi River from New Orleans to Minne- apolis. We identfy it as a triumph for those private interests which, with such unceasing vigilance and determined and incessant activity, have sought to defeat the proposed nine -foot channel on the Upper Mis- sissippi by leaving the Government without adequate motive for going forward with this improvement al- ready approved by Congress. On behalf of the people of the Upper Mississippi Valley, we claim from our Government the same pro- tection and care for the free use of our waterways, and for their devel- Special Session, November 9th, 1931 357 opment, as Congress has so gener- ously accorded the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf regions, now served to our disadvantage in competition by an artificial waterway constructed at the expense of the nation —the Pa- nama Canal —and by other means for which many millions of public funds have been expended. We ask for every member of Iowa's delegation in Congress an earnest and aggressive effort to de- fend against the designs of selfish private interests the great possibil- ities for the future of our state which lie in the adequate improve- ment of the upper Mississippi River and in such regulation only of its navigation as will preserve the su- periority of public to private in- terest. The City Manager is hereby di- rected to forward copies of this reso- lution to the President of the United States, the Secretary of War, the Interstate Commerce Commission, to the appropriate committee of Senate and House of the Congress of the United States, to all members of Iowa's delegation in Congress and to the Governor of Iowa.

For a number of months past this Board has been investigating the feasibility and desirability of provid- ing a Coal Terminal at some point on the water front. After careful and continuous consideration and at- ter months of negotiations we now \'is to say to you that we feel the time has come when, in order to take advantage of our opportunity to further benefit from our location on the Mississippi River, we should move for the establishment of said Coal Terminal. We have had plans drawn for tl�e terminal to be located north of the lower high bridge and south of East Eighth Street fronting a slough through which East Eighth Street rams to the river. We propose to use the land at the t location deeded to the City for park 1purposes, and the City has had it appraised for the purpose of carry- ing out the conditions of the deed. The other land which we propose to use and which is contiguous to the park property above mentioned, is under an option which expires C ctober 29th, 1931. To the north of this property and under water are some lots over which an easement will be necessary. This easement has been promised to us. It is anticipated that the purchase of this land, the building of the sea wall, the filling behind it, the reloca- tion of a street, the building of a railroad track and the necessary su- perstructure consisting of unloading. screening, weighing and other equip- ment and the necessary building can be constructed at this time for not more than $150,000. Special Session, November 16th, 1931 A contract for the leasing of this terminal has been negotiated with officials of the Kanawha Mississippi Coal Company, a Virginia Corpora- tion. Which contract has been be- fore you and has. been subject to discussion, therefore, you are famil- iar with its provisions. In view of the above we hereby recommend the building of a Coal 'terminal at the location named and request that bonds to an amount not to exceed $150,000 be issued as needed and when the said Kanawha Mississippi Coal Company can show that it has not less than $200,000 paid into the company as capital.

Kerner of the Dock Com- mission read the contract as revised, and also answered questions asked relative to the proposed Coal Term- inal. Mayor Meuser stated that the con- tract will be published in the news- paper in full and that every body can familiarize themselves with it, and that there will be a public hear- ing on it before it is finally adopted.
