AGREEMENT ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT are hereby entered into by and between the City of Dubuque, a municipal corporation of Iowa, as party of the first part and Rudolph Jones, as party of the second part, with the following terms and conditions to wit: WHEREAS, Rudolph Jones, is the owner of Lot 2 of the Sub. of Min- eral Lot 43 and the Sub. of Lot 3 of the Sub. of Lot 44, Dubuque, Du- buque County, Iowa, and proposed to subdivide the same into building lots numbering from one (1) to seven- teen (17), both inclusive abutting Overview Court and, has petitioned the City Council of the City of Du- buque to lay and extend water mains through said property in a street lo- cated thereon. WHEREAS, the City Council has granted said petition and agreed to extend said mains, as described; and WHEREAS, the cost of making such extensions has been estimated to be $960.00, now therefor IT IS AGREED, that said City of Dubuque will extend said water mains, as stated, and pay the cost thereof, and in consideration of the extensions of said mains and the payment of such cost by the City, said Rudolph Jones does hereby agree: 1st. To pay to the City of Du- buque, at the office of the Water Department, the sum of $48.00, per annum, payable semi - annually, as in- terest at the rate of 5% upon $960.00, the amount which has been estimat- ed to be the actual cost of the orig- inal placing of the water mains in said street. 2nd. As security for the faithful performance of this contract and the payment of said sum, there shall be deposited with this contract and at- tached thereto and made a part here- of, an approved commercial or U. S. Government bond in the sum of $100.00, which bond shall be forfeit- ed to said City of Dubuque upon de- fault in payment of said interest or any part thereof when due, and said City of Dubuque shall be authorized to convert said bond into cash for the purpose of applying the proceeds thereof upon the payment of said interest. 3rd. In addition to said bond, and as further security for the payment of said interest, he does hereby per- sonally obligate himself to pay said interest when due, and to that end he does hereby bind himself, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns for the whole period of this contract. The City of Dubuque further agrees that whenever any lot along the line of said extension shall be- come a user of water the interest herein stated shall be reduced in the sum of $3.00, for each lot or one sixteenth of the whole amount, until all of said lots have become users of the water or until such a time as the option herein provided for shall be exercised. It is mutually agreed between the parties that said Rudolph Jones shall have the right and privilege under this contract at any time to repay to said City of Dubuque the original outlay for the laying of said mains and thereby discharge the ob- ligation to pay the interest herein provided for, and for that purpose the original cost as shown by the' records in the Water Department shall be taken as conclusive thereof. The intention hereof being that should said Rudolph Jones desire to be relived from the payment of in- terest herein provided for he shall have the right to pay the cost of the laying of the main and the amount which he will be required to pay will be the difference between the total cost and the cost of laying said mains in proportion to the number of linear feet of said lots which are not the users of water. Should this option be exercised, it is further agreed that when any of such lots become users of water then there shall be returned to said Rudolph Jones such an amount as the total cost of the improvement bears to the number of linear feet of the lot which has become a user of water, such cost being based up- on the cost of laying said water mains per linear foot. It is further agreed that Rudolph Jones shall be entitled to the inter- est for dividends accumulating on the bond herein provided for and said bond shall be returned to him when this contract has been fully performed and all of its provisions complied with.

Gentlemen: On January 17th, 1926, Mrs. Wm. Aird sustained serious in- juries by falling upon an icy side- walk at the corner of West Fifth Street and Paulina Street. The re- sult of this fall was to prevent Mrs. Aird from attending to her ordinary housework duties, as well as contin- uing in her employment and required her to procure the services of physic- ians to attend to her injuries. Mrs. Aird will accept the sum of $300.00 in settlement of her claim which is approximately the amount of her ex- pense. In view of the injury and the condition of the place where it occurred I would respectfully recom- mend that this settlement be made. Some time ago Peter Kunnen ad- dressed the Council with reference to injuries sustained by his daugh- ter, Dolores Kunnen at 29th and Pin - nard Streets, on January 26th, 1926. She broke her left arm above the wrist. The facts in this case are familiar to the Council and upon your advice I have secured an agree- ment from Mr. Kunnen to settle the claim for $100.00. If these settle- ments are satisfactory to your Hon - orable Body, I recommend that the Auditor be instructed to draw war- rants in favor of Mrs. W. F. Aird in the sum of $300.00, and Peter A. Kunnen in the sum of $100.00. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Meuser moved that the recommendation of the City Soli- citor be approved and the Auditor be instructed accordingly. Second- ed by Councilman Schrempf.
