Petition of the Dubuque Motor
Boat Club, Feb. 1, 1923:
To the Honorable City Council of
the City of Dubuque:
The undersigned Club begs to call
attention to the fact that in the con-
struction of the sewer in the vici-
nity of the boat harbor, Dubuque,
the City has removed the trees,
posts, etc., around said harbor,
which said trees had been used
65
for years by harbor tenants as an-
choring places to which to secure
their boats and boat - houses. These
boats and boat - houses are now held
fast by the ice, but when the ice
melts the owners will be deprived
of any means of fastening their
boats. Wherefore your Honorable
Body is respectfully requested to
take the necessary action to pro-
vide such facilities at the harbor
which will enable boat owners to
safeguard their property.
Respectfully submitted,
DUBUQUE MOTOR BOAT CLUB.

petition be referred to the City En-
gineer to work out a plan whereby
the boats and boat- houses may be
anchored. Seconded by Councilman

Whereas, the Federal Securities
Corporation of Ch, :ago. I11., has
submitted a bid for 973,000.00 worth
of said bonds and agree to pay
therefor par plus accrued interest;

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen: During the summer
of 1921 the building located at the
corner of Sixth and Main streets,
at that time owned by the Weigel
Estate, was inspected by the fire
chief, who found it to be unsafe.
The required notice was served on
the representative of the owner of
the building to show cause why the
same should not be removed. The
result of the notice was that the
owners were asked to make the
necessary repairs. An estimate of
the cost of these repairs was made
by Albert Ney and were found to
be, as I recall it, in the neighbor-
hood of 910,000.00. The building
was later sold to the Dubuque Na-
tional Bank, which company asked
to make minor repairs to permit the
temporary use of the building until
the fall of 1922, when the same
would be removed to make way for
a new bank building. This company
later, through consolidation, no
longer needed the building and sold
it to J. J. Nagle. So far as the city
is concerned, matters stand now-the
same as they did in the summer of
1921. Temporary repairs were made
to permit the use of the building up
to last fall. The matter of repairs
or a sanction on the further use of
the building in its present condi-
tion has not even been sought by
the owner. I am calling this mat-
ter to the attention of the Council
in order that they may take what-
ever action to them seems right and
proper in this connection.
Also the building owned by J. H.
Rhomberg, located right next to the
corner of Ninth and Central, for-
merly occupied by the Boiler Works,
was condemned by the fire chief in
1921. Notice was served on the
owner to show cause why the same
should not be removed. The owner
asked for time until December 1st,
1921, to remove the building. I beg
to advise that the same has not
been removed and is more or less
a menace to the neighborhood.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR, City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
communication be referred to the
City Solicitor, to prepare the proper
resolutions for the condemnation of
the above properties; seconded by

Petition of the Voelker Realty Co.
We find the - following special as-
sessment levied against Lot 16,
Grandview Heights Addition: For
the improvement of Grandview,
levied Jan. 4th, 1912, $274.48; there
was a sale on this to the City dated
Sept. 9th, 1921, for 9345, which in-
cludes the above assessment, $66.83
interest, and 40 cents costs.
There is another special assess-
ment for the improvement of Grand
view avenue levied Sept..17th, 1920,
$497.04; this also is affected by the
sale to the city for 9553.55, which
includes $56.11 interest and 40 cents
costs.
There is also an assessment for
the improvement of Cora street lev-
ied August 15th, 1918, 923.75, also
represented by the sale to the City
Sept. 9th, 1921, at $27.35, which in-
cludes 93.20 interest and 40 cents
costs. As a matter of explanation
we wish to state, the old assess-
ments were based upon frontage of
lot, which happens to be 119 feet,
but as the lot is angular in shape
and but 39 feet wide, and at its nar-
row point about 65 feet in from the
street, it is really of less value than
what an ordinary 50x100 would have
been and the assessment greatly ex-
ceeds the regular limit of 25 per
cent value of the lot. However, to
clear up the title at this time, we
are offering 9425 in full, and ask
the cancellation of the tax sale cer-
tificates in , full upon payment of
same.
Respectfully,
VOELKER REALTY CO.

February Tenth, 1923.
City Council, Dubuque Iowa:
Gentlemen: —In accordance with
your instructions bids were received
on Thursday, February 8th, for pav-
ing the various streets for which
resolutions were previously passed.
The City of Dubuque is very for-
tunate in securing what to me seem
to be very good prices for this work.
There were fourteen bidders all told.
There was competition between the
different types of pavement although
some of the bidders did not actually
bid to get the work but for appear-
ance sake.
The low prices last year were
$2.24 for vibrolithic, $1.35 for sheet
asphalt and $1.43 for bitulithic. The
low prices this year are $2.33 for
vibrolithic, $1.34 for sheet asphalt,
and $1.54 for bitulithic. My own
judgment is that the actual cost of
performing work this year will be
increased more above the cost of
last year, than is indicated by these
prices,
There are a number of streets
which on account of traffic con-
ditions or on account of the nature
of the macadam now in, must be
improved with either brick or vibro-
lithic paving. The cost of the
brick, generally speaking, is so much
higher than the cost of the vibro-
lithic as to practically forbid the
use of brick, as the people who Pay
the assessment will feel that the
cost of vibrolithic is sufficient with-
out any additional expense. Also
as a general proposition we find
the cost of the bitulithic pavement
to be 20 per cent or more higher
than the cost of sheet asphalt. At
the same time, experience particular-
ly as shown in the Bates Test Roads
in Illinois shows that 3 inch sheet
asphalt pavement is far superior in
withstanding traffice than a 2 inch
sheet pavement. In view of these
facts my personal recommendations
will be for the awarding of all jobs
in which a soft top pavement is felt
to be the most desirable, to sheet
asphalt, as I believe the pavement
will prove in every way as satis-
factory and the cost reduction of 20
per cent from the cost of the bitu-
lithic will be no small boon to the
citizens generally.
Langworthy street from Nevada
street to College street, —bids were
received for the paving of this street
with brick only. My recommenda-
tion would be to award the contract
for this improvement and for the
city at large to assume the difference
in cost between the brick and vibro-
lithic. These grades are very steep
and a pavement to give a foothold
for horses should be put on this
street. On the other hand the abut-
ting property is not highly improved
and the cost of the brick pavement
will be in excess possibly of 25 Per
cent of the value of the abutting
property as well as in excess of the
ability of the owners to pay.
In conclusion I feel that the citi-
zens generally should congratulate
themselves on the low prices sub-
mitted for this work. The price as
submitted for bitulithic is still be-
low the price for which this pave-
ment was put in in 1916. At the
same time the price for sheet as-
72 - Special Session, February 10th, 1923
phalt is 20c per yard less than the
price of bitulithic.
Respectfully submitted,
O. E. CARR,
City Manager.

Petition of the Voelker Realty Co.
Dubuque, Iowa,
February 16th, 1923.
To the Honorable City Commission-
ers and City Manager.
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: The undersigned
must protest against the assessments
of the following lots for the con-
struction of a sanitary sewer in Aud-
ubon Ave., as being far in excess of
the 25 per cent limit of assessments
to value of the lot. Due to the street
not being anywhere near the proper
grade the cost of the sewer was con-
siderably greater than normal and
the condition of the lots with refer-
ence to the established grade of the
street will convince you of the fact
that the lots cannot stand the assess-
ment as made. This referring par-
ticularly to the seven lots mentioned.
The assessments objected to and
the assessed values of lots are as fol-
lows:
Rosedale 35 value $20.00 assess-
ment $84.95.
Rosedale 36 value $20.00 assess-
ment $84.95.
Rosedale 37 value $20.00 assess-
ment $84.96.
Rosedale 38 value $20.00 assess-
ment $84.95.
Rosedale 39 value $20.00 assess-
ment $84.95.
Woodlawn Park 75, value $30.00
assessment $60.34.

Feb. 16th, 1923.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen:
The matter of the petition of the
Voelker Realty Co., in regard to
special assessments as levied against
lot 16 Grandview Heights Add,
which was referred to the City Man-
ager recently, I have investigated
and wish to make the following re-
port:
The first assessment mentioned
for the improvement of Grandview
Avenue was levied on January 4th,
1912. At this time the properly was
assessed for street improvements on
the frontage basis. All the property
between Dodge street and South
Dodge Street paid the assessment as
levied, except lots 12, 14, 16 Grand-
view Heights Add. The assessment
as levied was $123.51 each on lots 12
and 14 and $378.48 as levied against
lot 16. This large assessment on lot
16 was due to the triangular shape of
the lot, giving a frontage on Grand-
view avenue.
This property at that time belong-
ed to George Collis, and was pur-
chased by the Voelker Realty Co.
from J. J. Nagle on April 29th, 1915,
the abstract of the property at this
time shows the special assessment
as levied in 1912 remaining unpaid.
The petition of the Voelker Realty
Company is somewhat in error in
connection with the assessment levi-
ed as they state the assessment to
have been $497.04. This assessment
was later reduced to $400.00 by the
Council which would have been a
corresponding reduction from the
figures as mentioned.
My personal opinion is that the
Voelker Realty Company is entitled
to some reduction on account of the
method of levying the assessment in
1912, but the assessment as levied
in 1920 for the improvement of
Grandview Avenue and the assess-
ment as levied in 1918 for the im-
provement of Forest Street should
be paid in full.
Respectfully submitted,
0. E. CARR,
City Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
matter be left in the hands of the
City Manager to settle as set out in
his report, seconded by Councilman
Gabriel, carried by the following
vote:
Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council-
men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior,
Schrempf.
Nays —None.
City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa,
Gentlemen:
Mr. W. 9'. Worcester, Vice Presi-
dent of the Rau Appraisal Company,
called on me Friday, February 16th,
with reference to the payment of
$2,500.00 which he claims due the
Rau Appraisal Co., for appraising the
Dubuque Electric Company property,
which was begun October, 1919, and
was completed September, 1920.
I have examined somewhat the
Council proceedings with reference
to this work. The C. B. Stiver Co.
of Des Moines first arranged t oau-
dit the Dubuque Electric Company
books which was to have been done
at a cost not to exceed $650.00. The
bill for this work has been present-
ed but has not been paid due to the
fact that no report of audit has been
submitted. The Rau Appraisal Com-
pany was engaged through the Stiv-
er Company, and the City of Dubuque
and the Dubuque Electric company
agreed to each pay one -half of the
cost of the appraisal, except that the
City of Dubuque limited her share
to $2,500.00.
On Oct. 2nd, 1919, both Mr. May-
nard of the Dubuque Electric Com-
pany and Mr. Stiver of the appraisal
company addressed the council in
connection with the appraisal. Mr.
Stiver explained that it was not ne-
cessary to get a detailed appraisal to
ascertain the value of the property.
It was on this representation that
the arrangements were made for the
appraisal.
The City advised the Stiver com-
pany this work would have to be
completed within sixty days, other-
wise the work would be of no bene-
fit and would not be acceptable. As
I understand it, the contract itself
placed no time limit. The Rau Ap-
praisal company was advised in Oc-
tober through the Stiver Co. that
Feb. 17th, 1923,
Special Session
the work should be completed in six-
ty days.
They began work about November
1st, continuing through the winter.
On the 19th of February, in reply to
a telegram 2 rom the Dubuque Daily
News, they advised that the apprais-
al would be ready about April 1st,
he last information re-
which was t
ceived until the books were deliver-
ed about the middle of September,
1920.
The City refused to accept them
and refused to open them, but were
finally given permission to open the
reports with the express stipulation
that the opening of the reports
would no the held by them as an
acceptance of the report.
The basis for the payment of the
Rau Appraisal Company was one-
half of one per cent of the replace-
ment value of the Dubuque Electric
Co.
The Dubuque Electric Co. has paid
on this basis $24,460. There remains
due on this basis $2,500.00 which the
City has not paid. In other words,
when the work was started it was
expected to be completed in sixty
days in order to be of service. Stiv-
er said that a detailed appraisal was
unnecessary. In spite of this a most
complete and detailed appraisal was
furnished. As an inventory of the Du-
buque Electric Co., the appraisal
might be of value to anyone desiring
such an inventory. As an appraisal
of the Company it is absolutely
worthless, as it is based upon the
costs at the very peak period.
The representative of the Apprais-
al Company suggested that they
would for the sake of a quick and
final settlement, be willing to ac-
cept a deduction of 25 per cent of
the amount, I suggested that the
City would not desire to harm her
good name and credit and did not
want any outstanding bills, and for
that reason the Council might be
willing to make some compensation
and might be willing to pay 20 per
cent of the original price in order to
get a final settlement. As further a,s-
count, the representative of the ap-
praisal company asked that I pre-
sent the matter to the City Council
and make known to them that the
Appraisal company for the sake of
getting the matter adjusted would
be willing to take 50 per cent of the
original claim.
I am presenting this matter to the
Council without recommendation.
Respectfully submitted,
0, E, CARR,
City Manager.

the matter be referred to the City
Solicitor, seconded by Councilman

Petition of the Dubuque Electric Co.
Feb. 20th, 1923.
Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen: A little over a year
ago we extended our ten - minute ser-
vice on the West Dubuque line from
Asbury switch where it then term-
inated to the new High School. Un-
der the present scheme of operation,
therefore, the switch at Asbury is
not used and we respectfully request
permission to relocate it, prior to
the new paving, in front of the new
High school, which will not only
make it possible for us to have ex-
tra cars at the High school to meet
any unusual demand, but also we
will be able to improve our West
Locust street service.
We also ask permission to relo-
cate the switch on West 'Locust ap-
proximately opposite Mt. St. Joseph's
college to a new position further
east and in the approximate location
of Rosedale avenue. This change will
give us more even spacing of the
switches on our Locust street divi-
sion, which will permit better ser-
vice under normal conditions and
more flexibility when extra service
is needed.
Thanking you in advance for what
I trust will be your favorable consid-
eration of the above, I am
Yours very truly.
0. H. SIMONDS,
General Manager.
Councilman Brede moved that the
prayer of the petition be granted
and the Electric Co. be requested to
install, if possible, a continnuous
service instead of transferring on
Asbury street, as is done at present,

buque Electric Co., be so notified,
seconded by Councilman Gabriel,

depth of lot No. 1 with a frontage
on Gay street of 39 feet. In consult-
ing Mr. Carr this morning he ad-
vised me to pay one -tenth of the as-
sessment which is due today with
an understanding that I should re-
ceive credit on part of this assess-
ment if the City Council acts on
same. I ask for a reduction of 40
feet or a total of 88 feet which I
judge correct.
Yours respectfully,
ED VYVERBERG,
350 Gay Street.

Mr. Vyverberg be allowed a reduc-

The Honorable Mayor and Council of

Gentlemen: On January 31, 1923,
Mrs. John Bohn fell at the alley on
Windsor avenue between Hennepin
and Reece street and sustained a
fracture of her left wrist. The point
where the accident occurred was ex-
amined and found to be quite dan-
gerous by reason of the accumula-
tion of snow and ice which had ex-
isted there for some time. I have
had the matter up with Mrs: Bohn
and she agrees to accept in settle-
ment of her claim the sum of 943.00,
which is the actual doctor bill ren-
dered to her on account of said acci-
dent. As Mrs. Bohn is very reason-
able in this matter it is my. opinion
the claim is justified and I recom-
mend that she be paid the sum of
943.00 in full settlement of her claim,
and ask that a warrant be drawn in
favor of John Bohn, her husband, in
that amount.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
