Gentlemen: On October 12, 1916, there was a special assessment lev- ied against Lot 13, in Concord's Ad- dition, for the curbing, guttering and macadamizing of Coates Avenue, from Fremont Avenue to Cross Street. The amount assessed against this lot for this improvement was $112.17. On November 19, 1914, the City Council authorized the Treasur- er to accept 25 per cent as payment in full on account of this special as- sessment. Settlement was not made at that time. 96 Regular Session, May 2nd, 1921 There are also against this lot de- linquent general taxes from 1905 to- date. These general taxes for the five years prior to 1920, with inter- est, amount to $11.86; while the gen- eral taxes for the previous years without interest amount to $27.45. At the same time these general taxes in the years prior to 1909 are levied on an accessive valuation as they are reduced $3.80 after 1909. I would recommend that the City Treasurer be authorized to accept $64.00 in full settlement for all taxes, special and general, as advertised for sale last December. This would mean a settlement of the special as- sessment on the basis as authorized by the Council in 1914, or $28.04, and the balance, or $35.96, as payment in frill on the delinquent general taxes. Respectful11 submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.

Nays -None. To the Honorable Mayor and -Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: The notice of your intention to require the Dubuque Electric Company to repair its pave- ment lying between the rails thereof on Central Avenue from Fourth Street to Eighteenth Street, together with a copy of the resolution duly passed by you on May 2, 1921, has been received by me, as General Manager of said Company, and I hasten to advise you of the Com- pany's attitude in this regard. We are In complete accord upon the fact that this pavement consti- tuting the company's right of way is in a deplorable condition and in need of immediate repairs. We are also convinced that these repairs must be made at once. The only ob- stacle which prevents immediate ac- tion upon our part is the matter of financing the cost of the improve- ment. We are not in a position to do this at this time. However, we have a proposition to make to your Honorable Body. If the City should undertake to make these repairs, by contract or otherwise, and pay for the same out of its funds, the com- pany will agree to reimburse the City for this outlay and pay a rea- sonable rate of interest upon the ac- count. The only thing we ask is, that our payments be deferred and spread over a period of years, so that it will not cause too great a hardship upon us and result in dis- aster to the community. If this ar- rangement can be made, the com- pany stands willing to agree in writing to waive any legal formality or proceeding necessary to make a binding assessment and unequiv- ocally agree to pay the cost of the improvement in full. If such an ar- rangement can be made, we will be glad to co- operate without delay. Respectfully yours, DUBUQUE ELECTRIC CO. O. H. SIMONDS, Its Manager.

Notice of Resolution of Necessity, certified to by the Publishers, of the 98 Regular Session, May 2nd, 1921 - It is an open question as to whether asphalt or tarvia is the bet- ter filler for a bituminous pavement. There are warm advocates for each material. Personally, everything else equal, I would be inclined to fa- vor asphalt filler and yet I am satis- fied that if properly applied, either material will give satisfactory re- sults. The bid as submitted by James Saul at $1.29 for asphalt bituminous macadam is the lowest bid received for asphalt filler. The bid as sub- mitted by the Even - Ulrich- Staner Co at $1.21 for tarvia X macadam is the lowest bid received for this type of pavement. I am submitting the report of these bids without recommendation. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.

City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: The condition of Bluff Street from Eighth Street to the intersection with Locust Street, just north of Fourteenth Street, is very bad. Last year I endeavored to repair it with cold patches, but was not very suc- cessful. I am assured that an asphaltic binder can be lain upon the present paving and in that way be built up to a smoother surface and a wear- ing surface laid upon this surface at the expense of not to exceed $1.25 per square yard. I believe that this improvement should be made during the present season and would recommend the adoption of a resolution for the im- provement of this street. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation be approved and the Engineer be instructed to draw plans and specifications. Seconded by Councilman Melchior.

Gentlemen: I believe that the City should now make plans for street improvements for the year 1922, by now making sure that all lots are connected with sewer, water and gas and the necessary storm sewers are in place. Two streets which I would now recommend for improvement next year are White Street from Sixth Street to Twenty- Second Street and Twenty -First Street from Central Avenue to Lincoln Avenue and Linc- oln Avenue from Twenty -First Street to Second,Avenue (now Ham- ilton Street). Prior to the improvement of White Street, there should be a necessary relief sewer constructed in this street from Sixth Street to Fifteenth Street in order to divert all the sani- tary sewerage from the hill district away from the present main sewer, which is entirely inadequate to serve the demands upon it. There should also be a number of storm water sewers laid on White Street in order to take care of the storm water at this point, instead of letting it flow 110 Special Session, May 20th, 1921 Oliver Kringle -6 -inch sanitary sewer, $1.23 per lineal foot; man- holes, $50.00 each.

Gentlemen: In accordance with your request, bids were Or on Thursday, May 19th,' for the con- struction of a sanitary sewer in Chestnut Street, from the end of the present sewer westerly for a dis- tance of two hundred feet. The fol- lowing bids were received: William Singrin -6 -inch sanitary sewer, $1.10 per lineal foot; rock in trench, 35c per cubic foot; manholes, $40.00 each.

I would respectfully recommend that authorit be given for the execu- tion of a contract between the City of Dubuque and William Singrin for the construction of this sewer.

Gentlemen: In accordance with your request, bids were received for the paying of that portion of Central Avenue, lying between the rails of the Electric Company, from the south property line of Fourth Street on clown to the railroad. Plans and specifications with estimates will be worked out as soon as possible for covering these improvements, which will probably have to be financed. The City Engineer now has plans practically completed covering the construction of a storm sewer on Lincoln Avenue from Kniest Street to Humboldt Avenue ,now Humboldt Street). Also the relaying of the S -inch sewer on Lincoln Avenue from Johnson Avenue (now Johnson Street) to Elm Street (at the pres- ent time the 8 -inch sewer in John- son Street takes the flow from three 8 -inch sewers at that point, passing under the Kniest Street sewer by syphon, runs uphill from there to the Bee Branch sewer, where it en- counters another syphon from the Bee Branch sewer). The 8 -inch sew- er is inadtequate as well as improp- erly constructed. Plans are also practically com- pleted covering storm water sewers in Second Avenue (Hamilton Street) from the river to Lincoln Avenue. Also a storm water sewer in Ann Avenue (now Ann Street) from the river to Lincoln Avenue and in Lincoln Avenue from ,Ann Street to Middle Avenue (now Farley Street). By the construction of these storm sewers much of the water now find- ing its way to the Bee Branch sewer will be diverted to the river. Also all the water now coming on Lincoln Avenue will be carried underground, which arrangement should be made prior to the improvement of this street. I also believe that there are funds available at the present time set aside for municipal improvements to enable these sewers on Lincoln Ave- nue to be immediately constructed. I am reporting this matter to the City Council with the request that the authority be given to the City Manager to advertise for bids for the construction of these sewers, as soon as the Engineer shall have en- tirely completed the plans and pre- pared specifications for the work. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the Engineer be instructed to prepare plans and specifications for these sewers, and the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids for the same.
