CITY COUNCIL
(Official)
Special Session March 6th, 1925.
Meeting called by order of Mayor
Alderson and Councilman Brede.
Council met at 4:30 P. M.
Present —City Manager Carr. May-
or Alderson, Councilmen Brede. Ga-
briel, Melchior, Schrempf,
Mayor Alderson read the call and
stated service thereof had been duly
made and accepted, and that this
meeting is called for the purpose of
awarding contracts for the improve-
ment of various streets in the City
and acting on any other business
that may come before the meeting.
To the Honorable Mayor and Coun-
cil of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: At a recent meeting
of your Honorable Body I was re-
quested to furnish you with an opin-
ion as to the effect of the letter
which accompanied the vibrolithic
bids of the Lee Paving Company
and to tell you whether or not the
statements contained within that
letter operated as a qualification up-
on the bids submitted for this type
of paving. You will recall that the
contractor expressly stated in this
letter that if he was awarded any
contracts for vibrolithic paving he
would expect to purchase his mater-
ials on the open market and would
demand a supplemental agreement
from the Granite Top Surfacing
Company by which he • would be
granted certain concessions claimed
to be given to other contractors
laying this type of pavement. The
effect of this statement was to avoid
a certain price required to be paid
to said Granite Top Surfacing Com-
pany for service and materials to
be furnished said Company to con-
tractors who laid this type of pave-
ment as shown by a published state-
ment furnished to the City of Du-
buque by said Company.
This statement of the Lee Pav-
ing Company has considerable sig-
nificance when viewed in the light
of the express provisions of our
specifications and when these state-
ments in this letter are construed
together with the provisions of our
specifications it is readily seen that
the bid submitted by the Lee Pav-
ing Company is intended to be an
absolute qualification of the bid.
Bids which are thus qualified are
not in response to the published no-
tice to contractors, and, if permit-
ted or recognized by the City Coun-
cil they would have the effect of
defeating competitive bidding among
contractors. The law expressly re-
quires and rightly requires, that all
contractors be on an equal basis in
submitting bids for public work in
order that free and open competi-
tion may result. Any qualification
of a bid which would prevent such
competition and thereby give to one
contractor a preference over anoth-
er would be violative of the spirit
and the letter of the law. A con-
tract based on such a qualified bid
would be held void and any assess-
ment based thereon would be illegal.
Contractors are not permitted to dic-
tate the terms of public contracts,
nor to prescribe conditions which the
not responsive to published notices.
It is my opinion that the condition
attached to the bids for vibrolithic
paving by the Lee Paving Company
is such a qualification thereon that
the same cannot be considered by
the Council. I am fortified in miy
opinion by the admission of the con-
tractor who publicly stated to the
Council that when he submitted
these he intended them to be quali-
fied in the manner stated in his
letter. It is, therefore, my recom-
mendation that the bids of the Lee
Company on vibrolithic paving be
rejected for the reasons herein stat-
ed and I have prepared a resolu-
tion which is herewith submitted
and request that the same be passed
by the City Council and be made a
matter of record in its proceedings.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
Resolution.
Whereas, the City Solicitor has ad-
vised the City Council that it is
his opinion that all of the bids for
vibrolithic paving submitted by the
James F. Lee Paving Company are
qualified conditional and not in re-
sponse to published notices, and
therefore, it would be improper for
the City Council to consider the
same and let any contracts thereon:
Be it therefore, resolved by the
City Council of the City of Dubuque
that all of the bids for vibrolithic
pavement submitted by the James F.
Lee Paving Company be and the
same are hereby rejected.
Passed, adopted and approved this
6th day of March, 1925.

Mr. O. E. Carr,
City Manager,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Sir: A recent check made of
Cascade Crossing, at the Western
limits of the City, shows that the
traffic on this crossing is very light
and I would like to propose, and if
possible have permission, from the
honorable body of our City Council,
to take the crossing flagman now lo-
cated at that point,' and install in
his place an up -to -date flashing light
and crossing bell signal, which would
give us protection and service at
this crossing day and night every
day in the year, whereas at present
the crossing flagman only gives us
protection eight hours during the
day time.
May I have the benefit of your
views in this matter as early as
consistent?
Very truly,
L. E. McCABE,
Superintendent.

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: I have reason to be-
lieve that there was an error in de-
scription in connection with the as-
• sessments as levied for the cutting
• of weeds.
There was an assessment levied
aainst Fred and Anna Fasselius on
account of cutting weeds on Lots 31
and 32 Burden and Lawther's Addi-
tion, last year. These two lots were
in garden and I think an error was
made in describing the lots on which
the weeds were cut.
I would therefore, recommend that
the assessment be cancelled by the
City Council.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
recommendation of the City Manager
be approved and carried out, as rec-
ommended and the Treasurer be in-
structed accordingly. Seconded by
Councilman Melchior. Carried by

City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Two years ago the
city purchased Lot 111 in McCraney's
First Addition for the purpose of
opening a street to connect Lincoln
avenue, Prescott street and Thomas
street. This lot was 272 feet long
and 50 feet wide. In my judgment,
a forty foot street will be adequate.
I would recommend to the City
Council that the West 10 feet of Lot
111 be deeded to Leo Cota, who will
in exchange, deed to the City of Du-
buque the ground necessary for the
extension of Prescott street through
his property to connect with the pro-
posed new street. He will also take
up the tax sale certificate now out-
standing on account of sewer and
water connections laid in from Lin-
coln avenue.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

Special Session, March 13th, 1925
had been neglected, the need for
them had been piling up until dras-
tic measures were required if the
city was to continue to function.
Already the large increase in
home buildings is a reflection of our
municipal improvement program. We
also hope and expect to see further
industrial development. This has
had an effect and will continue to
have an effect upon the amount of
taxable property within the city,
which increased valuation will help
constantly in keeping our tax rate
down.
All of the improvement work has
been done as economically as possi-
ble not only as to first cost but also
in the financing of it. Bonds have
been issued sparingly and in no case
has the cost of any improvement
been covered by the bond issue. In
this way the interest charge has
been kept at a minimum and inci-
dentally in doing this, a considerable
deficit has been incurred.
In April, 1920, the current deficit
was $137,175.00. In two years, we
entirely wiped out this deficit except-
ing approximately $100,000, which
was invested and is still invested in
tax sale certificates. In addition to
the investment in tax sale certifi-
cated in detailed report of the is
about $120,000 as has been indicated
in the detailed .report of the City
Treasurer each month.
This deficit must be cut down and
not further increased. As above
states, it was incurred largely
through the issuance of bonds for
less amount than the actual cost of
the improvement work. Last year
municipal work to the amount of
$183,000 in excess of bonds issued,
was done and this year improve-
ments in excess of bonds issued to
the amount of $60,000 were made.
These improvements were financed
from the general city funds and are
the cause of the present deficit.
Last year we retired $48,500 of
city bonds. This year there will
be $86,500 of bonds paid off. This
reduction of bonded debt causes a
material reduction in the carrying

charges. A continuation of the same
levy for the bonded debt fund is re-
quired, which will create a sinking
fund sufficient to meet the large bond
maturities in 1936 and 1937.
Having in mind the current deficit
and the need for a material reduc-
tion of it, in my recommendations I
have made very few recommenda-
tions for salary - increases, not be-
cause there are not a number of
them deserving but because I do not
feel that the city is justified at this
time in making such increases.
I am satisfied that Dubuque has
the best Fire and Police Departments
to be found anywhere in the state
and as good as can be found any-
where in any city the size of Du-
buque. I am also satisfied that our
pay schedule is not as high as is
found in other cities. Members of
both departments have asked for pay
increases. An average increase of
$10.00 per man per month in both
departments would mean increased
expenditures; of $12,000.
The authorized levy for Fire De-
partment purposes gives us $92,662
on the present assessed valuation.
For this department last year we
spent approximately $149,00 and
without the salary increase this year,
we will spend over $130,000 (these
amounts include about $29,000 for
fire hydrant rental paid to theWater
Department).
In view of these facts it would not
see ma good financial policy to in-
crease the expenditures for fire de-
partment purposes unless the in-
come from authorized levy is in-
creased to meet it. For reasons
above stated I have not provided for
salary increases though personally
I would be very glad to recommend
salary increases to members of both
Fire and Police Departments, partic-
ularly to those men who have been
in the service over three years, if
the finances of the city would justi-
fy the increased expenditure.

Dubuque, Iowa.

ensuing year, I feel that a review of
certain facts having a bearing on the

forgotten and should have been en-
tirely wiped out during the life of
the things purchased through the ex-
penditure.

tend Algona street through from the

Special Session, March 23rd, 1925
served on property owners on streets
about to be paved this year to con-
nect with sewer water and as from
the street to the property line.
Block 8 in Grandview Park Addi-
tion, which lies on the southwest
side of Bradley street, belongs to the
Country Club. They have asked that
they be not compelled to connect
the lots adjacent to Bradley street
with water and gas inasmuch as
their present intention is never to
dispose of this property for building
purposes.
In view of the fact that both water
and gas extend on into the Country
Club property from Randall Place
and that both the water and gas can
be reached by the alley in the rear
of the line of lots fronting on Brad-
ley street, I would personally see no

Report of the City Solicitor.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: The petition of sev-
eral parties owning property within
the City of Dubuque, but being actu-
ally used for agricultural purposes
and for that reason request that their
property be taxed not to exceed sev-
en (7) mills, were referred to me for
examination and report. I beg to ad-
vise you that I have examined both
the law and the facts i neach individ-
ual case, and my decision is as fol-
lows:
At the 40th Extra Session of the,
Legislature the law relating to tax-
ing agricultural lands consisting of
10 acres or more and lying within
a City are exempted from liability
for general taxation in cities but are
subject to a 5 mill road levy and a
library tax, amounting in all in the
City of Dubuque to seven (7) mills.
This change in the la wbecame ef-
fective on October 28th, 1924 before
the tax books were certified to the
County Treasurer, by virtue of this
fact the exemption applies.
In view of the statute above re-
ferred to, the same being section
6210 of the code of 1924, the follow-
ing parties are entitled to reduc-
tions as herein stated:
Fred Faldorf the owner of lots 2,
3 and 4 of the Sub. of M. L. 120.
Lot 2 of the Sub. of lot 2 M. L. 121
part of M. L. 119, undivided 9 -10 of
part of M. L. 25, M. L. 26 and 27,
lot 1 of 1 of 1 of M. L. 9 and lot 2
of the Sub, of M. L. 29, is entitled to
have his lots assessed at 7 mills, in-
stead of the regular corporate levy
for 1924. He paid the first half of
his taxes amounting to $57.86. His
tax should be $14.21, He is entitled
to a refund of $43.65 and a cancella-
tion of the second half.
H. G. Yates, owner of M. lots 114,
115 and 212 and lot 5 of M. of M. 1.
122 is entitled to a taxation of seven
(7) mills on a valuation of $1840.00.
This would amount to $12.88 and a
balance of his taxes should be can-
celled.
Steven Thilmany, owner of lot one
(1) of Sub. M. L. 113, lot 2 of Sub.
M. L. 113 is entitled to a seven (7)
mill levy on a valuation of these lots
of $460.00. He is also owner of lots
2 and 3 of Sub. of M. L. 116 and 117.
On these lots he is not entitled to a
reduction and his request as to these
should be denied.
John W. Twaites, is the owner of
lots 4 and 5 of M. L. 131. He is en-
titled to a seven mill levy on these
lo ts. He has paid the first half of
his taxes and should receive a refund
for the difference between seven
mills levy on a $205.00 valuation and
a 57 mill levy. He is also owner of
lot 3 of M. L. 122. He is not en-
titled to a reduction on this lot and
his petition with reference thereto
should be denied.
Mike Fah is the owner of lot 2 of
Sub. 1 of M. L. 118. He is entitled
to a seven (7) mill levy on a valua-
tion of $375.00 on this lot. He has
paid the first half of his taxes and
is entitled to a refund of $8.06 and
a cancellation of the balance of his
taxes.
Joseph Nauman is owner of lot 1
of M. L. 112. He is entitled to a
seven mill levy on this lot. He has
paid the first half of his taxes and
is entitled to a refund of $17.09 and
the balance of his taxes cancelled.
Jacob Henkel is the owner of lot
4 of M. L. 116 and 117 and lot 1 of
1 of 118. He is entitled to receive
a seven (7) mill levy on a valuation
of $690.00 on these lots. He has paid
the first half of his taxes and is en-
titled to a refund for the difference
of seven mills and 57 mills: His re-
maining taxes on these lots should
be cancelled. He is also owner of
lot 3 of 2 of M. L. 121. He is not
entitled to a reduction on this lot.
Joseph H. Meyer is the owner of
lot 1 of lots 116 and 117, lot 1 of
M. L. 121, lot 1 of M. L. 122, lot 2
of M. L. 122 and lot 2 of the Sub. of
4 of M. L. 122. All of these lots
should be assessed on a basis of sev-
en mills and the balance of his taxes
cancelled.
George Jecklin is the owner of lot
2 of the George Jecklin farm. This
lot should be assessed on the basis
of seven mills. He has paid the first
half of his taxes and is entitled to a
refund of $30.96 and a cancellation
of his remaining taxes.
Petition of J .F. Kircher, owner
of lot 1 of 1 of 2 of Babcock's Addi-
tion. This lot should be assessed on
a basis of seven mills. He has paid
the first half of his taxes amounting
to $11.97 on a valuation of $420.00
whereas the corporate taxes on the
7 mill basis should be $2.94 for the
year, he is therefore entitled to a
refund of $9.03 and a cancellation of
the remaining taxes.
In the cases where the reductions
are autl}orized lands are used for
agricultural purposes and contain
more than ten acres. In cases where
the reductions are not allowed, while
the lands are used for agricultural
purposes, still they do not comprise
lands equalling more than ten acres.
In view of the above situation I
would recommend that the Treasurer
be instructed to make the necessary
reductions and cancellations. I be-
lieve that all those who have paid
the first half of their taxes and to
whom a refund is granted, these re-
funds should be made by the City
direct to the parties from the taxes
which will be received by the City
from the County Treasurer and the
County Treasurer should be instruct-
ed accordingly.
Respectfully Submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Solicitor.
