The report was referred to the

August 26, 1930.
Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Reporting on the question of street
lights on Seminary Street from Avo-
ca Street eastwardly to the angle at
east end of Clarke College property,
I respectfully offer the following:
Length of street in question -2400
feet.
Present Lighting Facilities:
4 Arcs, 600 C. P. @ $65.00
each per year $260.00
4 Arcs, 100 C. P. @ $27.50
each per year 110.00
8 Total Lamps costing per
year $370.00
Average distance between present
lamps -343 feet.
SCHEME "A"
PROPOSED WHITE WAY INSTAL-
LATION
Including Used City Standards
6 Lamps (all night) 250 C.
P. @ $55.00 per year $330.00
13 Lamps (until midnight)
250 C. P. @ $40.00 per year, 520.00
Total per year $850.00
Net annual increase over - existing
system — $480.00.
Average distance between proposed
lamps -133 feet.
Average distance between all night
lamps -480 feet.
SCHEME "B"
PROPOSED WHITE WAY INSTAL-
LATION
Including New Interstate Power Co.
Standards.
6 Lamps (all night) 250 C.
P. @ • $60.00 per year .... $360.00
13 Lamps (until midnight)
250 C. P. @ $45.00 per year, 585.00
Total per year $945.00
Net annual increase over existing
system — $575.00.
Spacing of lamps would be equal to
Scheme "A ".
SCHEME "C"
PROPOSED WHITE WAY INSTAL-
LATION
Including New Interstate Power Co.
Standards.
8 Lamps (all night) 250 C.
P. @ $60.00 per year $480.00
11 Lamps (until midnight)

Total-per year $975.00
Net annual increase over existing
system — $605.00.
Average distance between proposed
lamps -133 feet.
Average distance between all night
lamps -343 feet.
This scheme would provide all
night lamps of the same number as
the present arc lights.
282 Adjourned Regular Session, September 2nd, 1930
ALTERNATE IMPROVED ARC
SCHEME
Including all night arc light plan for
more adequate illumination.
Retain 4 present 600 C. P.
Arcs @ $65.00 each per
year $260.00
Replace 3 present 100 C. P.
Lamps with 3 new 250 C. P.
Lamps @ $42.50 each per
year 127.50
Replace 1 present 100 C. P.
Lamp at High School with
1 new 400 C. P. Are @
$57.50
57.50
Total Lights -8, costing per
year $445.00
Net annual increase over existing
system— $75.00.
Average spacing same as present -
343 feet.
By eliminating the 100 C. P. lamp,
conditions would be made safer and
illumination should be adequate, es-
pecially after certain tree trimming.
However, the aerial are type would
not beautify the two institutions as
the proposed White Way plan.
The budget allowance on Street
Lighting includes a total of $67,-
380.50.
Expenditures to date consist of.
Net payment in April $5,286.67
Net payment in May 5,307.93
Net payment in June 5,314.22
Net payment in July 5,322.43
Net payment in August 5,424.51
Total for 5 months $26,655.76
Estimated for 7 months on
basis of August Expen-
diture $38,010.00
Estimated for fiscal year on
present basis, total $64,665.76
Balance on Present Lights.$ 2,714.74
ADDITIONAL .COSTS .AUTHOR-
IZED
Central Ave. White Way System
from 18th to 22nd Streets.
19 (until midnight) 600 C. P.
Lamps @ 35.00 per year...$665.00
4 (all night) 600 C. P. Lamps
@ $60.00 per year 240.00
Total per year $905.00
Allowance from Sept. 15, 1930
to Mar. 31, 1930 -6 /2 mo $490.21
Balance on Present and Au-
thorized Lights $2,224.53
Note: On the question of power
costs for new sewer pumps
there is apparently no provi-
sion for this service, which
service will start in about 2
months. The power for sew-
age pumping may cost about
$200.00 per month.

September 8, 1930
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The following decisions were given
to the various questions considered
by the City Council on the inspection
tour of the City Saturday afternoon,
September 6th.
(1) At the location of the pro-
posed miniature golf course at the
Myers -Cox building at Iowa and 4th
Streets, approval of Council was tent-
atively given to the owner with the
provision that the following safety
steps should be taken and completed
at an early date.
(a) Seal up the present opening be-
tween the stairway and the east
wall of the steps leading from
the second to third floor in order
to prevent lighted cigarettes
from being thrown underneath
stairs.
(b) Owner to purchase and install
a counterweight outside stairway
from near the middle of third
floor of building to sidewalk at
4th Street.
Lower the present moveable sec-
tion of the fire escape on both
(c)
Special Session, September 9th, 1930
Iowa Street and the alley be-
tween Main and Iowa Streets to
such a point that the lowest rung
will be approximately eight feet
from ground level.
(d) Wire movable section fast to the
section cannot be dropped to
fixed section so that movable
ground and made useless.
(2) It was decided that the steps
leading from Dorgan Place to Madi-
Son Street be removed.
(3) At the intersection of Laun-
dale Avenue and Park Street it was
noted that a present street standard
was bent and should be straightened.
Il nstructions have been given the
Street Department to make this re-
pair.
(4) At the same intersection,
namely Laundale and Park Street,
the Council approved the former re-
quest of residents at this location for
a new street lamp. Accordingly re-
quest to the Interstate Power Com-
pany has been made this day order-
ing an new 250 C. P. street lamp at
this intersection.
(5) At the railroad crossings of
the Chicago Great Western Railroad
at 20th, 21st, 22nd and 24th Streets
the City Engineer and City Manager
were instducted to notify the rail-
road company of the complaints that
have been filed with the City Coun-
cil regarding the lack of proper side-
walk facilities and the narrow street
pavements existing at the above
crossings. Accordingly a letter has
been written to Mr. Harry Bauer,
agent at Dubuque, requesting an im-
mediate appointment to go over
these needed crossing improvements.
(6) At the southwest corner of
the intersection of West 3rd and Hill
Streets the curb return was deemed
inadequate. The City Council in-
structed the City Engineer and City
Manager to proceed with the proper
widening of this corner.
(7) The alley between Nevada
and Booth Streets north of West
3rd Street was ordered to be scraped
and rolled in order to remove objec-
tions of the property owners living
thereon. Accordingly instructions
have been given the Street Depart-
ment today to 'proceed with this
work.
(8) At the alley first south of
West 5th Street from Summitt to
Burch Streets, the Council decided
that in relation to the petition of
property owners living thereon that
no work should be done at this loca-
tion until worse conditions in the
City had been remedied.
(9) The Manager was instructed to
notify the Playground Commission
of the availability of a City Lot for
299
playground purposes in the 1931 pro-
gram at the northwest corner of
Booth and Dodge Streets.
(10) At the east end of Cleveland
Avenue the Council deemed it nec-
essary to install a protective device
against a motorist proceeding east -
wardly beyond the circle on Cleve-
land Avenue and dropping over the
wall embankment. Accordingly the
plan suggested of installing 6" x 6" x
8' posts spaced five feet centers
through which a cable with anchors
or deadmen would be installed at
either end of the cable guard was
turned over to the Street Depart-
ment today with instructions to pro-
ceed.
(11) It was noted by the Council
that several globes in the Cleveland
Avenue Park east of Cleveland Ave-
nue were broken. Instructions were
given to the Electrical Inspector this
day to install'new globes.
(12) On Villa Street at the retain-
ing wall at the east edge thereof it
was noticed that new cracks had de-
veloped. Accordingly the Street De-
partment have been instructed today
to proceed with the filling of all pre-
sent and former cracks for the pur-
pose of preventing water getting in
behind the wall.
(13) The complaint of Dr. Hag-
gerty and another property owner on
Bluff Street between 14th and 15th
Streets in regard to the light on the
new standard recently placed at the
foot of steps leading upward from
Bluff Street was next considered. It
was decided to install a shield or
paint the globe of this new standard
in such a way that the light from
same would not interfere with the
two property owners while they were
using their front porches. Accord-
ingly the Electrical Inspector has
been instructed to paint a spot on
either side of this globe to prevent
a diffusion of light toward these two
porches.
(14) At the Sacred Heart School
playground it was decided to scrape
and level ' up the field, cut weeds and
place "No Rubbish" signs on said
playground. Accordingly the Street
Department has been so instructed.
(15) Bacation of Bellevue Street
was considered as requested by Mr.
John Theobald The City Engineer
was instructed to secure a petition
signed by all property owners on said
street whose interests would be af-
fected by the vacation.
(16) Consideration was given to-
ward the hazardous condition of the
storm sewer system at Shiras Street
and Lincoln Avenue. Two property
owners were interviewed at this lo-
cation and it was decided to ascer-
1
1
300 Special Session, September 9th, 1930
tain whether or not a former offer
of Mr. Paul Braun would still be con-
sidered by him to do the excavating
for the necessary eight foot storm
sewer pipe at his expense on the
north sidewalk space on Shiras
Street from the present sewer east
of Lincoln Avenue about 1300 ft.
westwardly to the present sewer
crossing on Shiras Street. The En-
gtneer was instructed to prepare
estimates and plans if Mr. Braun
would cooperate.
(17) The proposed Valley Street
sewer between Mt. Loretta Avenue
and Southern Avenue was inspected
by the Council, decision was made
to receive and file acception. Motion
passed that corners on Dorgan Street
and West 17th Street be rounded.
We bring these matters to your
attention and ask that approval be
given to the above actions of the
City Manager in authorizing imme-
diate action on certain of these im-
provements and repairs. Your at-

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
Complying with the writer's in-
structions to discuss with the Chi-
cago Great Western Railroad Com-
pany present dangerous conditions
of crossings at 20th, 21st, 22nd and
24th Streets, pleased be advised that
we wrote Mr. Bauer of your desires
on September 8th. Today, together
with Mr. Bauer and Mr. Link of the
Street Department, the crossings
were investigated and the conditions
pointed out to Mr. Bauer in each of
the four cases towards your desires
for improvements.
At the same time the following ad-
ditional crossings were investigated
and recommendations to Mr. Bauer
were as follows:
(1) At 12th Street, repair side-
walk on one side only.
(2) At 13th, 14th and 15th Streets
bring up to rail grade the sidewalks
on both sides of the crossing.
(3) At 19th Street, Garfield Ave-
nue and 20th Street, repair present
sidewalks on both sides of the street.
(4) At 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and
29th Streets slight repairs are needed
in which cinders can be used for fill-
ing the present lines of sidewalks to
approximate level of rail.
(5) At 29th Street on the north-
west corner instructions were given
to remove a block of concrete tipping
at a dangerous angle and on which
persons might slip and be injured.
Mr. Bauer has promised today to
take these various defective condi-
tions up with his management and he
believes that permission can be
quickly granted for the fulfillment of
the majority of requests.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. E'VANS,
City Manager.
