The actual value of this lot, as shown upon the tax books, is one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars. There is no provision in the law authorizing the Council to remit any part of a special assessment for the reasons urged in the petition. There- fore, for the reasons stated above, I am constrained to advise you that this petition should be received and filed. Respectfully submitted, M. M. CZIZEK, City Solicitor.

Meeting called to order by Mayor Alderson and Councilman Melchior. Council met at 5:30 p. m. present — City Manager Carr, May- or Alderson, Councilmen Brede, Ga- briel, Melchior, Rooney. Mayor Alderson in the chair. Mayor Alderson read the call and stated that service thereof had been duly made and that this meeting is called for the purpose of. considering the matter of filling Rafferty's Slough and any other business that may come before the meeting. Report of City Solicitor Czizek, giving his opinion as has been re- quested by the Council at meeting of March 6th, relative to the right and power of the city, as a muni- cipal corporation, to enter into a contract for the filling of property owned by the City and commonly known as Rafferty's Slough. Pre- sented. To the Honorable Mayor and Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: My opinion has been requested relative to the right and power of the City, as a municipal corporation, to enter into a contract for the filling of property owned by the City and commonly known as "Rafferty's Slough." Incident to the power to enter into such a con- tract and related thereto is the method of financing the work con - templated by the contract. In this project is also contained the ques- tion of the City's right to acquire by purchase or gift other property adjacent to the property owned by the City and to which private .par- ties have title, and fill the same to the grade of the street. In treating this question in this opinion, I am always mindful of the reason for fill- ing such lands, because the entire scheme must be kept in sight in or- der to apply the legal tests. The questions in their simplest forms, are these: (1) —Can the City expend funds upon the improvement of publicly owned property with the intention Of making such property useful for private enterprise? (2) —Can the City acquire by pur- chase or gift real estate and expend public funds for its improvement with the intention of making such property useful for private enter- prise? Special Session, March 9, 1922 87 In answering these questions the fundamental principle of municipal law. must be recognized and that principle provides that municipal corporations have and can exercise, such powers only as are expressly granted by their charters or legis- lative acts, or are necessarily im- plied therefrom or are necessarily incidental thereto. Under the laws of this State, Cities have the power to own and hold real estate. They also have the power to acquire real estate by gift or purchase. But in each instance there is a limitation upon these powers, which limitation substantially provides that these powers must be exercised in the in- terest of the public. It is true, also, where Cities have acquired real es- tate for public purposes and the same is no longer useful or necess- ary for the purposes for which it was originally acquired for, such real estate may be disposed of. It must also be admitted that the City may hold and own property which might not be necessarily devoted to public purposes, but this right to hold and own such property cannot be extended to the right to acquire such property by the expenditure of public funds. The right to improve property owned by the City is incidental to the right to have and to hold but the right to improve means the ex- penditure of public money, and this right can only be exercised when the improvement is a public improve- ment. There isn't any question about the City's right to expend money upon property owned by it in order to abate or remove a nuisance or in the exercise of its police powers, that is, to preserve the public health, morale, comfort and conven- ience. But again, a limitation must be recognized here and that is, that only so much money can be expen- ed as will remove or abate the nuisance or accomplish the end in- tended. With these prine'ples in mind we come now to the main question. (1) Can the City expend public funds upon the improvement of publicly owned property . with the intention of making such property useful for private enterprise? My answer to this question, nec- essarily, is in the negative. Nowhere in the law is such power given. In fact it is most emphatically denied. The Courts all over this Country deny such right and for very good reasons. The primary purpose in improving this property would be to convert useless property into use- ried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior, Roon- ey.

Adopted: Approved: Councilmen Attest: City Clerk. :Special Session, March 15, 1922 1922. 1922. 88 Special Session, ful property. Ordinarily that would be considered a laudable purpose. It would mean that property which to- day is of no value may, by the ex- penditure of money, be made valu- able and become a profitable invest- ment. But a City cannot do the things that a private person can. A City has no right to go into the real estate business nor has it a right to develop property for a spec- ulation. Councils are merely trustees for the entire community and that trust is sacred and surrounded by legal limitations. Funds cannot be expended except where and when authorized. If it were the intention of the Council to reclaim this property and expend money in doing so in order to erect a necessary public building, or for some other purely purpose, there wouldn't be any question about the power provided, of course, that the legal proceedure were followed. But here is a case where the purpose of the expenditures of public funds is to create lands for sale or as an investment with the hope of profit, or, in other words, as a speculation proposition. This power, as I have said, does not exist. The mere fact that should the property be sold at a profit and the City Treasury would be enriched doesn't change or effect the rule. Now does it matter that the community, as a whole, is hene- fited by great manufacturing estab- lishments which are made possible by providing sites for their locations. Where the ultimate purpose is pri- vate instead of public the expendi- ture of public funds is denied. If we conceded that the power to improve this property were given under the law, we would still be confronted with the question of how to finance the improvement. In the first place bonds could not be is- sued. In order to issue bonds there must be expressed specific authority from the legislature. No such authority is provided for to meet cases of this character. If this ex- penditure could be made, it would have to come from the general funds of the City and from no other source. Bonds executed without authority are void. I refer to this question merely in order to show your Hon- orable Body that in attempting to finance a contract of this character by the issuance of bonds would be absolutely illegal and void. The second question "Can the City acquire, by purchase or gift, real estate and expend public funds for its improvement with the in- tention of making such property use- March 9, 1922 ful for private enterprise ?" is an- swered by the foregoing conclu- sions. That right does not exist. If the City could not expend public .funds in the development of its own property for private purpose, with greater force it could not do so with property acquired by it. Before rendering this opinion, I have made an exhaustive study of the entire question, and my con- clusions are based upon the laws of this State and other States where the questions have been raised. I have also tried to find 'a way where- by the improvement might be made but must ,confess my failure to do so. While you have been inspired by the most laudable motives and what, in your judgment, was for the best interests of the community, the law does not authorize you to pro- ceed. Respectfully yours, M.

Report of City Manager Carr. March 15th 1922. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The City Council is to be congratulated on the very low bids received for the paving work, which bids were opened on Monday, 1\'Iarch 13th. The loiv price on Sheet Asphalt was $1.35 per square yard compared with $2.65 last year, a reduction of 49 %. The low price on Bithulithic paving was $1. 43 per square yard, compared with $2.40 last year, a re- duction of over 40 %. .The low price for brick paving on a concrete base was $3.05 as compared with $3.74 last year, a reduction of about 18 %. The reduction in the cost of brick paving is probably justified by a re- duction in costs. The reduction in Sheet paving costs is, in my judg- ment not justified by the reduction in paving costs particularly when it is understood that our specifications for Sheet pavement are more rigid than last year. The total reduction in cost of the 80,000 square yards where Sheet or brick pavement was bid this year as compared with the price in 1921 amounts to$ This should be good news to the property owners who in the end will be called on to pay for the work. These low prices were brought about tthrough real competition be- tween the bidders. There was an active bidder here from another state. Then too, our specifications were opened up to permit the lay- ing of a concrete pavement with a granite wearing surface, which gave competition in a line not controlled by the state paving contractors or- ganization, which organization di- vides the sheet paving work among their own members. All competi- tive bidding between state contract- ors matting in the sheet pavement is more apparent than real. I am not saying that the state organiza- tion pronioting vibrolitic pavement is operating any differently, but still there is competition between the two organizations and between the mem- bers of the two organizations which are picked by the organization to handle the various jobs coming up. In making my recommendations regarding the kind of pavement to be laid, I have had in the importance of retaining for the peo- ple of Dubuque this continued com- petition. I have also bourne in mind the cost, and the desirability of the different types of pavement to meet the traffic on the different streets. I am also forced to consider the fact that 82,000 square yards of paving are included in these proposals and while one contractor should be able to lay this work in one season with- out difficulty, yet from past perform- ances here it would seen wise not to expect too much of one contract- or. I, also, in fairness to all types of paving wish to state that the total comparative costs are probably somewhat high for bithulithic, as there is a cost for binder included in the estimate which we are assur- ed will not be required or necessary. Omitting the binder cost the differ- ence in cost between sheet asphalt and bithulithic will range between eight cents per square yard and six- teen cents per square yard, the sheet asphalt being the cheaper in every case.

I would recommend that this street be improved by paving with sheet asphalt (Mexican .Brand, in accordance with proposal,) Dubuque has a great deal of asphaltic con- crete paving and a considerable bitu- lithic paving, but to date, there has been no sheet asphalt laid in the city. Other cities are using sheet asphalt considerably for the paving of streets on which a considerable amount of traffic falls. They are using this type of pavement in com- petition with brick and bithulithic. I feel that this type of pavement is suited to meet the requirements of West Fifth street and as the price is materially. less than bitulithic, I would recommend that the contract for the improvement of West Fifth street be awarded to the J. F. Lee Paving Co., who are the low bidders on this type of pavement. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.

The balance in the County Road Fund on April 1st, 1922, as well as the moneys accruing to this Fund during the year is shown as being a Miscellaneous Revenue. This money will be entirely expended during this year in connection with the new grading work on Rockdale Road. The total moneys anticipated to accrue to the General Funds both from taxation and from Miscellaneous Revenues as shown on a previous page amount to $356,871.89. The total proposed to spend from the General Funds in accordance with the above statement amounts to $324,556.13, which leaves an unappropriated balance in the General Funds of $32,315.76. To this can be added the General Fund balance as of April 1st, 1922, which should amount to approximately $30,000.00 which will leave the sum of approximately $62,315.76 to be used during the year for any proper muni- cipal purpose. In this statement the Tax Title certificates amounting to about $107,000.00 are considered as cash. In connection with Protection of Life and Property $26,859.00 is on account of the Electrical Department. Of this amount $21,454.20 is on account of permanent improvements in connection with the new Fire Alarm Building and could be financed by bond issue if it was necessary to do so. In connection with the expenditures for the past year, there are certain points to which particular attention is called: Invested in Tax Sale Certificates $109,037.39 Mortgage for Allison & Henderson Memorial Park 4,000.00 Payment to Mrs. Spahn for Lease of Garfield Ave. Bldg Municipal Indebtedness in excess of 1921 appropriation 50,170.00 Municipal Improvements in excess of 1922 appropriation 26,800.00 New Fire Engine for which no appropriation was made 12,100.00 $204,993.67 Of the above expenditures which were not anticipated in the last year's budget, the item of Tax Sale Certificates is carried as a live asset. The balance of the above expenditures have been cared for from the municipal revenue. Also, if the tax sale certificates should be redeemed by April 1st, this city would be absolutely without current deficit, and this is true, with out touching the taxes in hand for the next fiscal year.

Frith has a contract with the City of Dubuque for the collection of garbage, waste matter and dead animals bearing date of October 2, 1916, and by the terms of which he is to be paid the stipulated compensation of forty dol- lars ($40.00) per day; and Whereas, it has been established to the satisfaction of the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque that said E. E. Frith is unable, under prevail- ing economic conditions to carry on said contract for the compensation agreed to in the original contract and to attempt to do so would re- sult in loss to the contractor and ultimate discontinuation of the col- lection of garbage: Now. therefore, it is mutually agreed between the parties hereto that beginning with April 1, 1922 and ending with November 30, 1922, the compensation to be paid said contractor shall be increased from forty dollars ($40.00)) per day to fifty eight dollars ($58.00) per day for each working day, with the fol- lowing conditions and limitations at- tached, to wit: — Said contractor shall immediately and during the period above stated put into service, use and maintain not less than (6) vehicles daily for March 31, 1922 the collection of garbage, waste mat- . ter and dead animals. Provided, however, that if motor trucks are used instead of horse drawn vehicles, one such truck shall be equivalent to two horse drawn vehicles. It is specifically stipulated and agreed, al- so, between the parties hereto, that for each day that said contractor uses and employs a lesser number of vehicles for the collection of gar- bage, waste matter and dead animals than six (6), or the equivalent there- of in motor trucks, there shall be deducted by the City of Dubuque the suin of nine dollars, sixteen and two - thirds cents ($9.16 -2/3) per day for each vehicle not used in such ser- vice, and such deduction shall be- made during the period of this agree- ment. It is further stipulated and agreed that this supplemental agreement shall expire by limitation-on the 30th day of November, 1922, and from and after that period tae compensa- tion provided for in the original con- tract shad be paid. It is further stipulated and agreed that during the period of this agree- ment none of the terms and condi- tions of the original contract, ex- cept as the same apply to compen- sation and number of venicles, shall be affected and all of said contract shall continue in force and effect.

The balance in the County Road Fund on April 1st, 1922, as, well as the moneys accruing to this Fund during the year is shown as being a Miscellaneous Revenue. This money will be entirely expended during this year in connection with the new grading work on Rockdale Road. The total moneys anticipated to accrue to the General Funds both from taxation and from Miscellaneous Revenues as shown on a previous page amount to $356,871.89. The total proposed to spend from the General Funds in accordance with the above statement amounts to $324,556.13, which leaves an unappropriated balance in the General Funds of $32,315.76. To this can be added the General Fund balance as of April 1st, 1922, which should amount to approximately $30,000.00 which will leave the sum of approximately $62,315.76 to be used during the year for any proper muni- cipal purpose. In this statement the Tax Title certificates amounting to about $107,000.00 are considered as cash. In connection with Protection of Life and Property $26,859.00 is on account of the Electrical Department. Of this amount $21,454.20 is on account of permanent improvements in connection with the new Fire Alarm Building and could be financed by bond issue if it was necessary to do so. In connection with the expenditures for the past year, there are certain - points to which particular attention is called: Invested in Tax Sale Certificates $109,037.39 Mortgage for Allison & Henderson Memorial Park 4,000.00 Payment to Mrs. Spahn for Lease of Garfield Ave. Bldg Municipal Indebtedness in excess of 1921 appropriation 50,170.00 Municipal Improvements in excess of 1922 appropriation 26,800.00 New Fire Engine for which no appropriation was made 12,100.00 $204,993.67 Of the above expenditures which were not anticipated in the last year's budget, the item of Tax Sale Certificates is carried as a live asset. The balance of the above expenditures have been cared for froth the municipal revenue. Also, if the tax sale certificates should be redeemed by April 1st, this city would be absolutely without current deficit, and this is true, with out touching the taxes in hand for the next fiscal year.

In order to start the next year with a clean account, I would recommend the fol- lowing further appropriations, the same to be made from the unap- propriated balance and the contin- gent fund, as provided in the last Appropriation Ordinance. General Administration Expenditures of the City Council $ 287.09 City Solicitor's office 2.70 City Assessor's office 707.10 City Engineer's office 509.68 Election 21.89 City Building -s 2,754.10 Civil Service 78.69 Protection of Life and Property Inspection Deficit 1,163.54 Fire Department Deficit 14,333.84 Health and Sanitation Health Department 1,163.53 Garbage Collection 1,679.00 Street Repairing Deficit 3,764.63 Mi-sc. Expense Deficit 472.52 Municipal - Industries Markets and Public Scales 27.09 Docks and Warves 30.41 Municipal Indebtedness ... - 36,500.00 City Council: I would recommend that all the above deficits or short- ages be taken care -of by ordering transfers from the unexpended bal- ance ?n the consolidated funds. 11vlarc 31, 1922 The deficit -on account of City buildings was caused by expendi- tures in connection with redecorat- ing which were not contemplated. The deficit on account of inspection, is due very largely to the fact that the superintendent of the fire alarm station has been paid out of this fund for the last -few months. The deficit on account of the fire depart- ment is due to the fact that the new pumper was paid for out of the funds appropriated for the pur- chase of minor equipment. The defi- cit in the health department is due largely to the fact that an extra nurse was employed for which there was no regular apropriation. The deficit on account of garbage collec- tion is due to the increase com- pensation which was granted to the garbage collector. The big short- age in municipal indebtedness is due to the fact that the excess loan ' warrants beyond the amount for which bonds were issued, were tak- en care of. There are also balances in a num- ber of the appropriations notably in the highways, amounting to $4,500 and in the street cleaning amount- ing to something over $6,000 and smaller amounts in .other depart- ments. At the end of the fiscal year, these balances are automatic- ally ,cancelled and the unexpended balance is transferred to the general fund. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and the auditor be instructed to make the necessary transfers. Seconded by Councilman Gabriel.

Mr. Rooney was elected to the two year term, from 1920 to 1922, and during his term in office he proved that he was worthy of the trust imposed in him; all of his ef- forts were directed toward the pro- motion of the best interests of the city; he performed his duties with- out fear or favor, at all times recog- nizing the equality of rights of all of the citizens in the community; he is honored and respected by all city employes and held in the high- est regard by his fellow councilmen. After two years of unselfish ser- vice he refused to accept re -elec- tion; his personal affairs are such that they require his whole atten- tion and it was impossible for him to serve longer; the greatest com- pliment that can be paid him is the fact that citizens representing every walk of life, exerted every effort to cause him to accept re- election, and this gives evidence of the respect and confidence which the whole community has in him. His fellow members in the council and Mr. Carr, desii e to take this oc- casion to extend to Magnus Rooney this expression of their respect for him and pledge themselves united to him in a bond of never- ending friendship. Be it therefore, resolved that, in order that these sentiments may be preserved to posterity, this resolu- tion be spread upon the official rec- ords of the City Council and the same be published in the official newspapers of the city.
