A remonstrance against the im- provement of South Locust street, signed by John Brady, Everett Brown, O. H. Simonds et al, asking that the improvement be not made at this time, but that the same shall be held in abeyance until such time as the interested parties again ask action on part of the Council; stat- ing that South Locust street from Southern Avenue is approximately 3,100 feet long and is in no way a traveled thoroughfare, and therefore to improve only 277 feet on the south end of this street would in no way serve the general public; were the general public to be bene- fitted by this improvement no pro- test would be filed. Certain of the petitioners hereto are not subject to assessment for this contemplated improvement, but participate in this remonstrance as evidence that the improvement is unnecessary at this time from the viewpoint of the neighborhood.

Miss Mae Peabody and Mrs. Blount addressed the Council rela- tive to said improvement, stating that they wanted the improvement made, that it is very necessary that the work should be done. that the street is at times in very bad condi- tion. Mr. O. L. Simonds, one of the signers of the remonstrance, ad- dressed the Council, stating that Miss Peabody and Mrs. Blount would surely be benefitted by the improve- ment, but personally thinks that the driveway was in a very fair condi- tion and that work of improving this part of the street should be deferred until the City saw fit to improve the whole street. Councilman Brede moved that action on this matter be deferred until the next meeting of the City Council. Seconded by Coun- cilman Gabriel.

Communication of the Key City Gas Co. accepting the Special Ordin- ance and the terns of the Special Ordinance, as follows: At a meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Key City Gas Com- pany, duly called and held at the Company's • office, Dubuque, Iowa, April 25, A. D. 1922, the said Board of Directors duly adopted the follow- ing Resolution of Acceptance: The Key City Gas Company here- by accepts the special ordinance and the terns of the special ordinance, entitled: purpose of widening Grandview Ave- nue east of Southern Avenue. There was, however, but one isolated strip of ground acquired at that time for that purpose and without the carry- ing out of the propositon for the widening of the street this piece of ground is useless to the City. I find that the popular idea was that this was to be used for park purposes and is known as Hickey's Park, hav- ing been purchased from a Mr. Hickey for the sum of $240.00. It liar been, however, left without any attention and is by itself, in my judgment, without value for park purposes. The ground back of this strip is owned by Miss Margaret Maher. I have taken up with Miss Maher the matter of the purchase of this strip of ground. She desires to purchase it and Will pay the City the amount which the City paid to Mr. Hickey in 1914, on the basis of $50.00 down and the balance $10.00 per month without interest. I would respectfully recommend that this property be sold to Miss Margaret Maher and that the City Solicitor prepare the necessary sti- pulation and agreement to safeguard Miss Maher in connection with her property. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and the strip of ground be sold to Mrs. Maher, and the Mayor be authorized to execute a contract for the deed.

To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: On January 16, 1922, Miss Margaret Galvin fell and broke both bones in her right ankle on a sidewalk located in front of Number 135 South Locust street. The ac- cident occurred about seven (7) c'clock • in the morning while Miss Galvin was on her way to work. The place where she fell was dangerous by reason of the fact that there is a depre-sion in the walk of about six to eight inches and this condi- tion has existed for a long time. In fact there is no improved sidewalk at this point. There is a space pos- sibly eight feet wide which is dirt and stone and entirely unimproved and Miss Galvin in stepping from a cement sidewalk was required to walk over this place to get to the Regular Session, May 1, 1922 next sidewalk. In doing so she slip- ped and fell in this depressed spot which at that time was covered with ice. I have consulted with all of the persons who know something about the condition that morning and they all say that there was a good deal of ice there where she fell. I pointed out the place to Mr. Carr some time ago after the acci- dent occurred. Miss Galvin is confined to her home at this time and has incurred a good deal of expense by way of doctor bill and loss of time. She is willing to accept a settlement in the sum of Three Hundred ($300.00) Dollars which I consider fair and reasonable under the circumstances in the case. It is possible that her injury is permanent and I believe that it were better to settle with her now than to permit the case to go to suit. The city would have no defense in the action. For that reason I am suggesting a settlement with her in the sum of Three Hun- dred ($300.00) Dollars. This condition will continue to be dangerous until the same is improved and I would suggest that the proper- ty owner be required to construct a sidewalk at this point and thereby avoid any further occasion. for in- juries. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEH, City Solicitor. Councilman Brede moved that the action of the City Solicitor be ap- proved and the Auditor be author- ized to draw a warrant for $300.00 on the treasurer in savor of Miss Margaret Galvin.
