Report of the City Solicitor rela-

streets, alleys and the levee front
abutting upon and lying within the
Dubuque Harbor Company's Addi-
tion to the City of Dubuque, pre-
sented and read.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: This Council has re-
ferred to me for examination and
report, the petition of Peter McCar-
thy, relative to the rights of the
City of Dubuque in and to certain
streets, alleys and levee front abut-
ting upon and lying within the Du-
buque Harbor Company's Addition
111
456 Regular Session, December 3rd, 1928
to the City of Dubuque. I beg to
advise you that covering a period
as far back.as 1876 certain vacations
took place and certain conveyances
were made, all of which required
careful study and examination. In
explaining these matters to you I
have attached hereto copies of docu-
ments, evidence of the various trans-
actions and these will aid you in
understanding this report.
I desire to preface this report by
saying that whenever a street or
other public place is vacated by the
Council, such vacation does not have
the effect of alienating the title of
the street from the City, but mere-
ly amounts to discontinuance of the
use of the street for public purposes,
unless it is the clear intention of the
vacation proceedings to grant the
title to others. But such intention
must be clearly expressed in the
proceedings themselves, and cannot
be infered or presumed. With this
in mind we proceed to a consider-
ation of the various vacations and
their effect.
Tower Street
Tower Street is the most easterly
street in Dubuque Harbor Improve-
ment Company's Addition and runs
as far north as Eighth Street. In
1876, when blocks 1 and 8 of such
addition were owned by Ingram, Ken-
nedy, and Day, that part of this
street lying between the north line
of Commercial Street and the south
line of 8th Street was vacated, but
the City did not divest itself of the
title thereto. A copy of this vaca-
tion is hereto attached.
In 1888 an ordinance was adopted
by which all that part of Tower
Street north of Diagonal Street was
vacated. Diagonal Street is the first
street south of Commercial and runs
diagonally from Tower Street to
Commercial Street. Apparently the
intention of this ordinance was to
include Tower Street north of Diag-
onal to Eighth Street. By the terms
of the ordinance "the exclusive right
to use and occupy for the manufac-
turing purposes, or purposes incident
• thereto" was granted to the Stan-
dard Lumber Company. But this
grant was conditional and provided
that "at the expiration of twenty -
five years or at any other time that
the City should demand it, said
premises should be re- conyeyed to
the City. It also provided that if
said Company should abandon the
use of the premises for manufactur-
ing purposes for three consecutive
years, such premises should go back
and revert to the City. It will be
observed that by the language of
this ordinance, the title to the street
was not conveyed to the Standard
Lumber Company, but it was grant-
ed merely the right to the use there-
of. The Standard Lumber Company
discontinued the use of said prem-
ises for manufacturing purposes in
1911. A copy of this ordinance is
hereto attached.
The Standard Lumber Company
was the successor Ingram, Kennedy
and Day. M. H. McCarthy was the
successor of the Standard Lumber
Company.
In 1916, five years after the Stan-
dard Lumber Company discontinued
operations, said M. H. McCarthy exe-
cuted a quit claim deed to the Du-
buque Electric Company by the
terms of which he conveyed to said
Company all his right and interest
in and to "all that part of Tower
Street which lies between Lot 1 in
Block 8, and Lots 1 to 4 in Block 1
Dubuque Harbor Improvement Com-
pany's Addition." The portion of
Tower Street thus attempted to be
conveyed lies north of the alley
which runs east and west between
Commercial Street and 8th Street.
By virtue of such conveyance, the
Dubuque Electric Company, and its
successor, Interstate Power Com-
pany, might assert some claim that
it is the owner of that part of Tow-
er Street described in said deed.
It is my opinion that the Inter-
state Power Company did not ac-
quire any right to said vacated por-
tion of Tower Street adverse to the
City by virtue of said deed. At no
time did the City divest itself of
its title to said street. The most
that can be said is that by the ordin-
ance of 1888, the City granted the
use of said vacated street to the
Standard Lumber Company and
when said company discontinued
business, not only the title to said
street reverted to the City, but it
also became relieved of any obliga-
tion to permit the same to be used
by any private party. M. H. McCar-
thy, not having title to the fee of
said street, could not convey the
same to the Dubuque Electric Com-
pany and when he attempted to do
so, the grantee in said deed acquired
no greater rights than were owned
by the grantor.
In view of what has been said, it
is my opinion that title to Tower
Street north of Diagonal Street, to
the south line of 8th Street is in the
City of Dubuque, and the Council
can, if it so desires, re- establish
Tower Street as originally plated. In
this connection, I might say, that I
deem it advisable at this time, that
the Council take some action look-
ing toward the affirmance of the
City's interest in said Tower Street,
so that any conflicting interests
may be duly appraised of the con-
tention of the City.
In October, 1915, M. H. McCarthy
Regular Session, December 3rd, 1928
executed a quit claim deed to the
Allison- Henderson Memorial Associa-
tion, of certain described property
and included therein certain vacat-
ed streets and alleys. Among these
streets was that part of Tower
Street commencing at the southerly
line of Blocks 2 and 7, thence ex-
tending northerly to the southerly
line of the alley in Block 8. By this
deed it was intended to convey all
that portion of Tower Street extend-
ing northerly from River Street to
the alley between Commercial and
8th Streets. In 1921, the Allison -
Henderson Memorial Association ex-
ecuted a quit claim deed of these
premises to the City of Dubuque.
The Outer Levee
When the abandoned river chan-
nel was filled by the Dubuque Har-
bor Company about the year, 1857,
and the Dubuque Harbor Improve-
ment Company's Addition was cre-
ated, express provision was made to
reserve to the City a strip of land
150 feet in width east of the easter-
ly lot lines of Blocks 1, 2, 3, 4 and
24 of said Addition for levee purpos-
es, and this was known as the outer
levee and extends northerly to the
south line of 8th Street.
In 1888 the City granted the use
of that part of the outer levee lying
south of 8th Street and east of Lot
7, Block 2, to the Standard Lumber
Company on the same conditions
that were provided for the use of
Tower Street. In the quit claim
deed which • was executed by M. H.
McCarthy, to the Allison - Henderson
Memorial Association in 1915, that
portion of the outer levee easterly
from and adjoining block 2, and the
easterly end of lots 6 to 10, of block
1, was conveyed to said association
and it, in turn, conveyed the same
to the City in 1921.
It will be observed that no part
of the outer levee as originally plat-
ted and reserved, was ever vacated
by the City unconditionally to any
one. So that when M. H. McCarthy
attempted to convey the same to the
Allison- Henderson Memorial Associ-
ation he had no right to do so, and
no rights passed by this deed. At
any rate, the ttile to the entire outer
levee north to the south line of 8th
Street is in the City of Dubuque,
but in view of the attempted con-
veyances, and certain confusion in
the record, some affirmative action
should be taken by the Council at
this time in order to clarify the situ-
ation. This is especially important
in view of prospective river develop-
ment in the future.
Commercial Street
Commercial Street is an extension
of east 7th Street to Market Street,
457
and thence easterly to the outer
levee.
In 1888 that portion of Commercial
Street running easterly from Diag-
onal Street was vacated, and the use
thereof granted to the Standard
Lumber Company on the same terms
and conditions, as stated with re-
ference to Tower Street, and the
same action should be taken with
reference to this street as was sug-
gested for Tower Street.
In the deed by M. H. McCarthy to
Allison - Henderson Memorial Associ-
ation, and by said Association to the
City, heretofore refered to, Commer-
cial Street from the center of Bell
Street easterly to the east line of
Blocks 1 and 2 is conveyed. I find
no record where any part of Com-
mercial Street west of Diagonal
Street (excepting a part to be re-
fererd to) was ever vacated, so that
when M. H. McCarthy attempted to
convey that part of Commercial
Street west of Diagonal. Street, he
had no right to do so as he poss-
essed no rights which he could con-
vey.
A small part of Commercial Street,
however, has been entirely alienated
by the City when it adopted an or-
dinance in 1896. This portion is de-
scribed as "Commercial Street, north
and abutting Lot 15 in Block 13."
By the terms of this ordinance, the
vacated section of the street was
given to the owners of the lots abut-
ting thereon. A copy of this ordin-
ance is attached.
Washington Street
Washington Street runs east and
west through the Dubuque Harbor
,Improvement Company's Addition to
Tower Street.
In 1896, by the passage of an or-
dinance, the City vacated Washing-
ton Street from High Bridge Aven-
ue (now East 4th Street) to Bell
Street, and from Bell Street to Tow-
er Street, and granted such vacat-
ed portion of the street to the abut-
ting owners.
Bell Street
Bell Street is the first street west
of Tower Street and runs parallel
with it to 8th Street.
In 1896, by the passage of an or-
dinance, the City vacated Bell Street
north of Commercial Street, that is,
between Commercial Street and 8th
Street, and granted such vacated
portion of the Street to the abutting
owners.
In 1916, M. H. McCarthy deeded
Bell Street north of the alley lying
between Commercial Street and 8th
Street to the Dubuque Electric Com-
pany, and in 1915, deeded the por-
tion of the street south of the alley
to the Allison- Henderson Memorial
458 Regular Session, December 3rd, 1928
Association, and it, in turn, deeded
said portion of Bell Street to the
City. So that the City now owns
Bell Street south of this alley, and
the Interstate Power Company owns
Bell Street north of this alley.
Market Street
Market Street is the first street
west of Bell Street and runs par-
allel with it to 8th Street.
In 1896, by the passage of an or-
dinance the City vacated Market
Street north of Commercial Street
and granted such vacated portion of
the Street to the abutting owners.
In 1916, M. H. McCarthy deeded
Market Street north of the alley ly-
ing between Commercial and 8th
Street to the Dubuque Electric Com-
pany, and in 1915, he deeded the
portion of the street south of the
alley to Allison - Henderson Memorial
Association, and it, in turn, deeded
said portion of Market Street to the
City. So that the City now owns
Market Street south of the alley
and the Interstate Power Company
owns Market Street north of the
alley.
Eighth Street
Eighth Street is platted along the
northerly boundary of the Dubuque
Harbor Improvement Company's Ad-
dition.
In 1925, Eighth Street from the
easterly line of Pine Street to the
easterly line of Lot 20, Block 12, ex-
tended, was vacated in favor of Du-
buque Electric Company. The re-
maining portion of 8th Street as
platted, has now been vacated.
The Alley Between Washington and
Wall Streets
In 1896, by the passage of an or-
dinance, the City vacated the alley
between Washington and Wall
Streets from High Bridge Avenue
(now East 4th Street) to Bell Street
and from Bell Street to Tower
Street and granted such vacated por-
tion of the alley to abutting owners.
Alley in Blocks 8 and 9
This alley lies between Commer-
cial Street and 8th Street and in
1896, it was vacated from Tower
Street to Market Street and granted
to the abutting owners. An undivid-
ed one -half of this alley was later
deeded by M. H. McCarthy to the Du-
buque Electric Company.
Alley in Block 12
Block 12 extends from Market
Street to Cypress Street and lies be-
tween Commercial Street and 8th
Street.
I do not find any vacations of the
alley in this block, but in 1916, M.
H. McCarthy deeded to the Dubuque
Electric Company, an undivided one -
half interest of so much of said alley
commencing at the westerly edge of
Lot 23 in said Block 12, and thence
easterly and southerly to the south-
easterly end of said lot .
Summary
It will appear from the foregoing
that, while some of the streets and
alleys lying within Dubuque Harbor
Improvement Company's Addition
have not only been vacated, but
title thereto has been conveyed to
others, yet there are some streets
and alleys to which the City still
retains title. This is true of:
(a) Tower Street.
(b) Commercial Street.
(c) The Outer Levee.
(d) A portion of Bell Street.
(e) A portion of Market Street.
(f) Possibly the alley in Block 12
last referred to.
With reference to these streets
and this alley it is my belief. that
this Council should adopt such
measures at an early date as will
insure the ownership of these prem-
ises to the City for future record
or development. Most of these
streets are 'now, and always have
been under water, yet their value
at this time cannot be estimated
due to changing conditions. Then
again, the City should assert its
ownership in these public grounds
so that misunderstandings as to
actual title may be averted. If the
City Council desires to re- establish
the streets, this can be affected by
the passage of an ordinance which
I will prepare if the Council deems
it advisable.
• Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: In regard to the flood
light on the electric light post at
the southeast corner of 10th and
Locust Streets installed by the Qual-
ity Oil Company which the Council
viewed last evening, I wish to re-
port that we have had a consider-
able amount of trouble and contro-
versy with Mr. Henry Kiene, the
owner of said oil station, in regard
to the present flood light installa-
tion and both our Electrical Inspect-
or and myself have ordered Mr.
Kiene to remove the flood light from
the post and discontinue same.
It has been our experience that
where flood lights are installed with-
in the streets, that considerable
trouble and controversy will arise
as most of the flood lights are a
hazard to the traveling public, es-
pecially on rainy and snowy nights
and it is therefore my recommenda-
tion that the Council order the flood
light removed and that no flood light
installations be allowed in the future
in the streets.
Very Respectfully submitted,
0. A. KRATZ,
City Manager.

of Lowell Street, representing her
father who owns property on said
street, objecting to same.
Mr. Lungwitz addressed the Coun-
cil relative to the improvement of
Lowell Street from Paul to North
Main Streets, stating they have no
objections to paving said street, but
ask that the brick gutters now on
said street remain.
Frank Kurt addressed the Council
relative to paving North Main Street,
stating that the brick gutters are in
good condition and the center of the
street can be put in good condition
by repairing same.
Residents of Paul Street do not
object to improving said street pro-
viding sewer is installed before the
improvement is made.
Residents on Stafford Street object
to the paving of said street, claiming
that there is not enough traffic on
said street to warrant the improving
of same.
Harry T. Bauer, representing the
C. G. W. R. R. Co. et al., addressed
the Council objecting to the improve-
ment of East 29th Street, for the
reason that this street is used very
little and the expense would be more
than some of the property is worth.
Art Kenniker addressed the Coun-
cil on behalf of his mother, objecting
to the improvement of 32nd Street
and Lemon Street, stating that it
would be unwise to improve 32nd
Street from Central Avenue to Lem-
on Street unless the street would be
improved about one - quarter of a mile
further west, because the water
washes dirt and rock down over this
street during heavy rains, same is
also true of Lemon Street, and fur-
thermore there is very little traffic
on said streets.
Mr. Fenelon et al. addressed the
Council on the improvement of Lem-
on Street, making the same state-
ments as Mr. Kenniker made, stating
that a storm sewer should be con-
structed first to take care of the
water before any street improve-
ments are made.
Mrs. Sarah Mack addressed the
Council relative to improving Farley
Street, stating that she did not think
anyone would object to the improve-
ment of this street if sewer and
water were installed first.
D. A. Doty addressed the Council
relative to the Dodge Street improve-
ment, from Grandview Avenue to
Bryant Street, stating that this
street from Booth Street to Bryant
is a water way and that parking in
the center would not be advisable,
and that the Council give due con-
sideration to this fact before making
the improvement.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
all the petitions be referred to the

RESOLUTION directing the City
Treasurer, Superintendent of Wat-
er Works Department and Trus-
tees of Water Works Bond Sink-
ing Fund to purchase bonds out of
non - active funds of the Water
Works Department.
Whereas, certain funds of the Wat-
er Works Department of the City of
Dubuque derived from revenues
from the operation of this publicly
owned utility and not from taxation
are inactive and are not needed for
current use and are being accumu-
lated as a sinking fund for the re-
tirement of Water Works bonds here-
tofore issued by the City of Dubuque
and the same are not drawing any
interest; and
Whereas, after an election had
been duly held, the City Council of
the City of Dubuque instituted pro-
ceedings for the issuance of Juven-
ile Playground Bonds in the sum of
$27,500 for the purpose of acquiring
real estate for juvenile playground
purposes; and
Whereas, due notice of the pub-
lic sale of such bonds was published
and bids were received therefore;
and
Whereas, all bids were rejected by
this Council as not being satisfac-
tory; and

Whereas, it is now deemed advis-
able by this Council to invest the

Department aforesaid in such bonds,
such bonds constituting a general
liability and being of general obliga-
tion of the City of Dubuque, as au-
thorized and permitted by Section

Fund be and they are hereby author-
ized and directed to invest so much
of such inactive funds of such de-
partment as will be sufficient to pur-
chase said bonds at par plus accrued
interest and pay the cost of the
printing of the same, this being a
- better price for such bonds than has
heretofore been offered by the high-
est bidder at the public sale herein -
before referred to.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council.
Gentlemen: The Dubuque Base
Ball Club desires to request the re-
location of a number of billboards on
the reclaimed slough property just
west of the Athletic Field, to a point
about 75 feet north. The purpose of
this request is to provide a larger
parking space for automobiles during
the baseball season. With 4th Street
Extension, the highway over which
practically all incoming traffic must
travel, and which must also handle
the ordinary local traffic, it will be
impracticable to continue the double
parking system which has been used
in the past. On numerous occasions
last year traffic was either tied up at
times or severely handicapped be-
cause of the double parking system,
and numerous minor accidents re-
sulted.
Removal of billboards to the point
suggested will give ample room for
parking purposes and will leave 4th
Street Extension open completely for
traffic at all times.
(Signed)
DUBUQUE BASE BALL CLUB.

December 12th, 1928.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Some time ago a com-
munication was received by the
Council from the Director of Public
Health of the City calling attention
to the unsanitary condition of the
premises owned by one John Long
and located near the corner of 26th
and White Streets, on Lot 268, Davis
Farm Add. to the City of Dubuque,
and this communication was referred
to the Manager and Solicitor for ex-
amination and report.
We beg to advise your Honorable
Body that for several years repeated
complaints have been made by per-
sons living in the neighborhood of
these premises regarding the filthy
and unsanitary condition of the
same. These complaints were inves-
tigated from time to time and the
following facts discovered:
Mr. Long maintains a barn on
these premises wherein cattle and
horses are kept; the son of Mr. Long
is a horse trader and cattle buyer
and the number of cattle and horses
on the premises varies from time to
time; the barn itself is an old build-
ing; the floors thereof are broken
and the walls are more or less dilap-
idated.
Manure is permitted to accumulate
on the premises in large quantities,
both inside of the barn and outside
thereof, and is not enclosed within a
covered retainer. The result is that
vermin and flies gather and the
atmosphere is pointed with a dis-
agreeable and unwholesome stench.
In fact the conditions create a dan-
gerous menace to public health.
Mr. Long has been warned repeat-
edly regarding these matters and ad-
vised to correct same, but he per-
sists in continuing them. On two
occasions he was arrested and
brought before the Police Magistrate
for failing to obey orders from the
Board of Health. On one of these
occasions he promised to clean up
the premises and correct the condi-
tions and he was discharged with the
admonition to carry out his promise.
He has failed to do this. On the sec-
ond occasion he was fined, and the
fine was paid, but this has not helped
to make conditions any better, so
that it seems that it has become nec-
essary to take more drastic steps to
protect the City and its inhabitants
against this nuisance and continuous
menace to health.
Therefore we recommend that the
Council direct the Solicitor to take
such steps as he deems necessary in
order to remove the nuisance re-
ferred to, even to the extent of bring-
ing an action in injunction to re-
strain the continuance of the nuis-
ance.
Respectfully submitted,
O. A. KRATZ,
City Manager.
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Councilman McEvoy moved that
the report be approved and the City
Solicitor be directed to take the nec-
essary steps to remove the nuisance.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: This is to advise that
I have appointed Mr. Carl Bartels as
Building Commissioner, effective De-
cember 15th.
I have delayed making an appoint -
men to fill this vacancy for the rea-
son that I was very anxious to obtain
a man that would be qualified to han-
dle the position both from the tech-
nical and practical standpoint.
Mr. Bartels is a graduate civil
engineer and has had several years'
experience in municipal work, and it
is my opinion that he will be able to
fill the position in a very satisfactory
way.
Mr. Bartels, being an engineer,
will also be able to help out in the
Engineering Department when work
is not pressing in his department,
which should be a great advantage
to the City.
One of the reasons that delayed
me in making my appointment was
the fact that I wanted to obtain
someone that was also a local resi-
dent of Dubuque and I think that Mr.
Bartels can satisfy this requirement
inasmuch as he was practically
raised in Dubuque.
Trusting that this appointment
will meet with the approval of the
Council and those in the building
construction business in this City, I
am,
Very respectfully yours,
O. A. KRATZ,
City Manager.
There being no further business,
Council adjourned,
JOHN STUBER,
City Clerk.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At your meeting held
November 28th a petition from Mul-
len Bros. & Co., asking that money
in the sum of $83.00 paid by them
for inspection of installing oil burn-
ers be refunded to them, was re-
ferred to your City Manager for re-
port.
We have investigated the records
and find that the following firms and
individuals have taken out permits
and paid a $1.00 fee for each permit
as follows:
Lewis & Co. 35
Clara L. Hillyard 5
Iowa Oil Co. 5
H. B. MVlcCarten 7
Larry Mullen 2
Eisbach Bros. 1
Morrison Bros. 2
Iowa House Furnishing Co. 1
M. E. Griffen 12
Rellihan 27
E. T. Cleaver 60
Curtis & Co. 32
Mullen Bros. & Co. 88
As stated by the City Solicitor at
the last meeting, another petition for
a refund was presented to the Coun-
cil earlier in the year and it was
decided at that time to file the re-
quest without granting the refund
and for that reason I recommend
that the request of Mullen Bros. &
Co. be handled in the same way.
The $1.00 inspection fee does not
seem an unreasonable fee for in-
spection, and, if for no other reason,
the City should have a full and com-
plete record of all oil tank installa-
tions.
Very respectfully yours,
0. A. KRATZ,
City Manager.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the report be referred to the Council
for further consideration. Seconded
by Councilman McEvoy. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas —Mayor Maclay, Councilmen
McEvoy, Schuckert, Yount.
Nays —None.
Abfient— Councilman Meuser.
December 16, 1928.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At your meeting held
November 28th a petition from Wil-
liam Berg, et al, requesting the City
to have Woodward Street from Low-
ell to Cottage Place and Cottage
Place from Abbott Street to a point
approximately 300 feet east of the
east line of Woodward Street, was
refererd to your City Manager for
report.
The petition contains the signa-
tures of six individuals. However,
only one of those on the petition ap-
pears as a record owner of any prop-
erty in this district and one signer
is entirely out of the assessment
district.
Due to the few signers that will
be assessed for the improvement and
the fact that the City will be called
upon to spent a considerable amount
of money in grading, etc., it is the
recommendation of your City Man-
ager that the petition be filed with
no further action at this time or un-
til those interested can obtain the
signatures of a larger number of
property owners that will be as-
sessed for the improvement.
Very respectfully yours,
0. A. KRATZ,
City Manager.
Councilman Schuckert moved that
the recommendation of the City Man-
ager be approved. Second by Coun-
cilman Yount. Carried by the follow-

Dear Sir: Replying to your letter
of November 30th, "regarding the per-
mit desired by the' ;Mpagement and
Engineering Corporation' 'of Dubuque
to extend their intake in Lake Peos-
ta Slough.
As stated to you in a former letter,
we were waiting for a'' map'" to be
made by the Interstate Power Com-
pany of this city, shbwing exactly
where said intake was to be con-
structed as regards the property
which they own. •
We have just received a copy of
said map, a copy of which is en-
closed herein, which shows the en -'
tire proposed construction to be lo-
cated entirely upon 'plotted property
which is owned by the Interstate
Power Company.
Inasmuch as this proposed con-
struction is to be made entirely upon
property owned by the applicant, we
cannot see how we are interested in
one way' or the other, either for or
against the application, and for that
reason we do not care to make a pro-
test at this time.
Trusting that this will clarify the
matters which you have had under
consideration, I am,
Very truly yours,
0. A. KRATZ,
City Manager.
