Gentlemen: On June 17, 1893, Lot 225, Davis Farm Add., was assessed on account of the improvement of White Street for the sum of $59.93. This amount was never paid. The property was then assessed to Rhomberg and Meuser. These owners later sold the property to the H. B. Glover Company, who are the present own- ers. This piece of property was among other pieces for which the tax titles were recently purchased by the city. The H. B. Glover Com- pany are desirous of clearing the title of this property and have of- fered to the City Treasurer the orig- inal assessment plus costs. In view of the fact that this as- sessment was levied twenty -eight years ago and that it has passed into th'e hands of what might be considered an innocent purchaser, I would recommend the acceptance of the original assessment plus costs, by the City, as payment in full on this account. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the report of the City Manager be ap- proved, prayer of the petition be granted and the tax sale certificate be submitted to the County Auditor for cancellation. Seconded by Coun- cilman Melchior. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and Rooney. Nays —None. December 1st, 1921. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.

We also expect that she will employ her extra time in connection with the work of the Po- lice Matron. I am reporting this to the City Council for their approval and in or- der that the funds required for her salary may be authorized. Very respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.

The City Manager reports as fol- lows: This lot is improved by a large two -story brick house, at the corner of Dodge and Locust Streets, while on the North 25 feet there is a small frame house in which Helen Meehan lives.

In view of these facts, I would recommend that the petition be received and filed. Qouncilman Brede moved that the petition be received and filed. Sec- onded by Councilman Gabriel.

He respectfully re- quests the City Council to reduce the special assessment against these lots for the construction of a sani- tary sewer in Leibnitz Street, which was completed in 1919 and the as- sessment levied at that time. He states also that he had filed a peti- tion at the time the levy was made, remonsrating against the assess- ment, but failed to follow it up. As a result the assessment stands as levied, amounting to $57.00 on each lot, while the value of the lots is only $40.00 each, for which amount he is perfectly willing to sell. Councilman Melchior moved that the petition be referred t othe City Manager for investigation. Second- ed by Councilman Rooney.

Langworthy's Addition to the City of Dubuque, presented. He states that on September 7th, 1920, the City of Dubuque levied a special tax for the construction of a sani- tary sewer in Valeria Street against said, lot, amounting to $192.05; that said lot runs from. Kaufman Ave- nue to Valeria Street, i s62 feet front and 330 feet deep; that his house is on Kauffman Avenue and he is using the sewer which runs through Kaufman Avenue, consequently the sewer in Valeria Street is of no benefit to him and never can be until the North. 1/2 of said lot is sold and a building erected thereon. Said North 1/2 is of but little value and at its best would not bring more than $200.00, it being valued by the Sourer system at $3.00 a front foot. He therefore asks that the special assessment be reduced to $50.00 or to an amount equal to 25 per cent of the value of the North 1 /2 of said Lot 1 of Lot 2. of Lot 145 in L. H. Langworthy's Addition. Councilman. Melchior moved that the petition be referred to the City Manager and City Solicitor for in- vestigation. Seconded by Council- man Brede.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: Some time ago a list of persons indebted to the City of Dubuque for personal property tax which had be- come delinquent was turned over to me with instructions to collect the same; even to the extent of bring- ing suit thereon. I beg to advise you that I have notified by personal letter each person. upon that list of the amount due, including accrued interest thereon. In some cases the taxes have been paid to me. In others I am convinced that taxes should not have been assessed against the person, in other cases the tax is wholly unavailable, and still in others no response has been made to my letter. In these latter cases b shall start suit for the Janu- ary Term of the District Court to enforce collection. The following collections, have been made by me and checks cover- ing the same as herewith returned: Name. Year. W. H. Benson 1919 Central House 1916 -1919 John Keckevoet 1918 -1919 Sam Kopple 1916 -1919 Mae Krayer 1919 Henry Martin 1918 -1919 Chas. Otley 1916 -1919 Wm. Pender 1917 -1919 C W. Powers 1917 -1919 State Loan Co. 1919 Total $307.68 The name of C. F. Cleaver appears upon my list, but he had already paid his taxes to the Treasurer and received his receipt therefor. This same situation is true in the case of Mrs. Toten. The Little Star Theatre is no longer being operated and the owner thereof at the time the tax was levied had departed from the city. Tax of 1919 should be cancelled. The Vyverberg Auto Company has failed and has no personal property at this time. The tax of 1919 should be cancelled. Ed. T. Sprengelmeyer has been out of business since 1911 and should not have been assessed upon prsonal property since that time. Taxes from 1912 -1919 should be cancelled. The Studebaker Company is also out of business and the taxes for 1918 and 1919 should be cancelled. Andrew Weiner has left the city and has no property here. The taxes for 1916 -1919 should be can- celled. The taxes included within these collections do not go back any far- ther than 1916 and in each instance where there are taxes due beyond 1916 where settlements have been made as herein stated, these taxes should be cancelled. I have also made a few collections from persons owing penalties upon past taxes. These are as follows, for which checks are attached: Name. Year. Amount. C. N. Bradley 1916 -1917* $ 1.92 Chas.

Report of the City Solicitor on the petition of Mrs. Lizzie Cutts pre- sented, as follows: To the Honorable Mayor and Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen: The petition of Lizzie Cutts, ask- ing for a Union Soldier's exemption upon Lot Two (2) of Lot Six (6) of Finley Home Addition, she be- ing the widow of an honorably dis- charged Union Soldier, was referred to me for recommendation and re- port. I beg to advise you that this exemption should be allowed in the amount provided by law and the County Treasurer instructed ac- cordingly for the year 1920. The pe- tition is hereto attached.

Report of the City Solicitor on the petition of the Catholic Women's League presented. To the Honorable Mayor and Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen. The petition of the Catholic Wom- an's League, requesting cancellation of the 1920 tax upon the South 1 /2 of the North Middle 1 -5 and North 1 / 2 of the Middle 1 -4 of Lot 479, has been referred to for a report. The petition also requests that this prop- erty be exempt from taxation in the future as long as it is owned by this organization. From my examination, I am con- vinced that this organization, com- monly known as the Neighborhood House, is purely a charitable insti- tution and its objects and purposes are to aid in the welfare of the poor and needy. It has no working capi- tal nor any profit plan, but its whole aim is to assist worthy persons in the community. I do not think that there is any question but what the petition should be granted and I Session, December 5, 1921 therefore recommend that the taxes for 1920 upon this property be can- celled and the County Treasurer in- structed accordingly and that the as- sessor be notified that this property should be carried as exempt from taxation as long as it is owned by this society. The petition is hereto attached. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor.

To the Honorable Mayor and Conn- . cil of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: The case of the City of Dubuque vs. the County of Du- buque, involving the collection of the City's share of the taxes collected by the County Treasurer upon moneys and credits for the years 1918 and 1919, has been compromised and settled for the sum of Five Thous- and ($5,000.00) Dollars, the County to pay the costs of suit in addition to said sum. The manner in which this payment is to be made is as follows: Immediate upon the passing of the attached resolution the County will pay to the City the sum of Twenty - Five Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollars on account and the remaining Twenty - Five Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollars will be paid on March 1, 1922.

Resolution Whereas, an action at law was in- stituted by the City of Dubuque against the County of Dubuque to en- force payment of the City's share of the taxes collected by the County upon moneys and credits for the years 1918 and 1919, the same being in the sum of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Eighty -Eight Dollars For- ty -Five Cents ($7,588.45), the same being Law Number 20260; and, Whereas, owing to a controversy arising involving the legal right of the City to insist upon such pay- ment by the County because of cer- tain matters which directly affect the substantial rights of the parties, it was deemed advisable to compro- mise the claim of the City and mut- Regular Session, December 5, 1921 349 ually adjust the same and thereby save the expense and delay neces- sarily incident to a law suit of this kind. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Du- buque, that, in consideration of the payment to the City of Dubuque by the County of the sum of Five Thousand ($5,000.00) Dollars, to- gether with the costs of suit, said City of Dubuque does hereby settle all matters involved in said action and release said County from any further liability or obligation arising thereunder or from any future claim involving the matters upon which said action was brought and the City Solicitor is hereby instructed to dis- miss the action now pending against the County. Be it further resloved that said County shall pay to the City said sum of Five Thousand ($5,000.00) Dollars as follows: Immediately hereafter there shall be paid to the City the sum of Twenty -Five Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollars and the remaining sum of Twenty -Five Hundred ($2,500.00) Dollars shall be paid on or before March 1, 1922.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen. The petition of Mar- garet C. Larkin, asking for a sol- dier's exemption upon Lot One (1) of Dillon's Subdivision, has been re- ferred to me for report. Mrs. Larkin is the widow of an honorably discharged soldier of the War of the Rebellion and as such is entitled to an exemption in the amount provided by law. Up to the year 1920 she was the owner of Lot Twelve (12) of Lot Two (2) of City Lot 720, and received her exemption upon said property. In 1920 she sold this property to Martha Eckler and acquired the property which she now owns, namely, Lot One (1) of Dil- lon's Subdivision from • Henry C. Bechtel. It appears from the peti- tion that the soldier's exemption to which she was entitled was granted to Martha Eckler upon Lot Twelve (12) of Lot Two (2) of City Lot 720, which is an error. Mrs. Eckler is not entitled to this exemption. 350 Regular Session, I beg to advise you that the Coun- ty Treasurer should be instructed to grant to Margaret Larkin the sol- dier's widow exemption upon Lot One (1) of Dillon's Subdivision, which is assessed to 'Henry C. Bech- tel in the amount allowed by law, and that such soldier's exemption as has been granted to Mrs. Eckler up- on Lot Twelve (12) of Lot Two (2) of City Lot 720 should be cancelled. Mrs. Eckler should be notified that this was an error and she should be called upon to pay her proper tax for the year 1920. Kindly have the City Clerk notify the County Treas- urer of these corrections. The pe- tition of Mrs. Larkin is hereto at- tached. Respectfully submitted, M. H. CZIZEK, City Solicitor. Councilman Brede moved that the report of the City Solicitor be ap- proved, the prayer of the petition granted, and the County Treasurer be instructed 'accordingly. Seconded by Councilman Melchior.

Gentlemen: In the levying of the assessment for the improvement of Bluff Street, from Eighth Street to Locust Street, the sum of $515.54 was assessed against the city lot on which the Public Library stands. To me it seems quite important that every distinct municipal acti- vity through its financial statement should show the entire cost of the municipal activity. It is, therefore, important that this assessment be paid by the L ibrary Board and out of the library board funds. The above assessment was not foreseen when the library tax levy was determined for 1920. They have December 14, 1921 351 therefore no money available with which to meet this unforeseen cost. I would recommend that the sum of $515.54 be transferred from the Con- tingency Fund of the General City Funds to the Library Fund in order to enable them to take care of this assessment. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and the City Au- ditor be instructed to transfer $515.54 from the Contingency Fund of the General City Funds to the Lib- rary Fund in order to enable them to 'take care of this assessment. Sec- onded by Councilman Melchior. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and Rooney. Nays —None. December 7, 1921. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: On December 1, 1921, the matter of a petition of John M. Lee, asking for a reduction in the special assessments levied against Lots 18, 19 and 20, Buseman's Sub., on account of the construction of a sanitary sewer in Lowell Street (for- merly Leibnitz), was referred to the City Manager for investigation and report. I beg to advise that this work was done and the assessment levied in 1919. Each of the three lots were assessed $58.11. The tax books for 1919 assess each of these lots at $60.00, which is probably a fair value without the sewer. I would recom- mend that a deduction in the assess- ment against each of the above lots of $33.11 be made, leaving a balance of $25.00 puus interest paid on ac- count of the sewer assessment. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Rooney moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved, and the Treasurer be instructed to accept $25.00 plus interest for each of the above lots, payment in full of special assess- ment for the construction of a sani- tary sewer in Lowell Street( former- ly Leibnitz Street). Seconded by Councilman Brede. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and Rooney. Nays —None. Petition of J. R. Waller presented, asking for a reduction of taxes on Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, in Block 27, Du- buque Harbor Company's Addition to the City of Dubuque, Iowa, stating 352 Special Session, that the building thereon had been destroyed by fire July 9, 1919; that the property had been assessed for $9,000.00, assessable valuation in the County $3,037.00, and taxes paid for 1919. And now they find that the taxes for 1920 are still the same as in 1919, which is incorrect, and re- spectfully ask that the taxes on this property be cancelled and the lots be reassessed at $100.00 per lot, making avaluation of $400.00. Councilman Brede moved that the valuation on this property be placed at $150.00 per lot, making a valua- tion of $600.00, and the County Treasurer be instructed to accept the taxes on this valuation for said lots for the year 1920. Seconded by Councilman Gabriel. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and Rooney. Nays —None. December 9, 1921. City Council, Dubuque, Ia. Gentlemen: In the matter of the improvement of Eleventh Street, from Central Avenue to the railroad tracks, the actual cost was consider- ably beyond the original estimates. This was due very largely to the fact that a much greater amount of bin- der was laid than had been estimat- ed. The individual assessments were also higher than we had figur- ed, on account of the fact that of the entire cost of the paving of this street the street and alley intersec- tions amounted to 33.88% or over one-third. It has been for years the practice of the City to require the owners of property to pay for all street inter- sections. At the present time the municipal finances, in my judgment, do not warrant a deviation from this principle. On the other hand, it is a little unfair to require people abutting certain streets to pay for the street and alley intersections, while people abutting streets run- ning in the opposite direction have no alley intersections to pay. We also find that the cost of the paving of the alley intersections amounts to 9.3% of the total cost of the improvement of Eleventh Street. In order to equalize the paving costs and also in order to make some reduction on the very large cost of the abutting property owners on ac- count of the improvement of this street, , I would recommend that the City assume, on account of the alley intersections, 10% of the entnre cost of this improvement, which will amount to something in the neigh- borhood of $2,500.00, and that the as- December 14, 1921 sessments of all those assessed for this improvement be reduced 10 %. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Rooney moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and that the assess- ments of all those assessed for the improvement of Eleventh Street, from Central Avenue to the railroad tracks, be reduced 10 %. Seconded by Councilman Gabriel. Carried by the following vote: Yeas —Mayor Alderson, Council- men Brede, Gabriel, Melchior and Rooney. Nays —None. December 9, 1921. City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Lot 1 of 1 of Min. Lot 67, containing fifteen and eight - tenths acres, was assessed on ac- count of the improvement of Dodge Street, from Bluff Street to South Dodge Street, for $1,533.44. The above property belongs to W. A. Mc- Lean and is carried on the Assessor's book at $2,040.00. Mr. McLean wrote to me asking that some arrangements be made for a reduction in this assessment. I suggested to him that an assessment on account of the improvement of Dodge Street, amounting to $600.00 based on a $2,400.00 valuation of property, would be in my judgment a fair proposition to all concerne. Mr. McLean concurs in this feeling. I would, therefore, recommend that the total assessments as levied against this Lot 67 be reduced by the sum of $933.44, leaving a bal- ance to be collected of $600.00. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and that the special assessment of this lot (67) be reduced to $600.00 and the Treas- urer be instructed to accept said amount in full of payment for as- sessment against .this lot for the im- proving of Dadge Street.

Gentlemen: The accompanying pe- tition of Ida M. Reid for a reduction in the assessment on account of the improvement of Angella Street and Cox Street, which was levied against Lot 2, Kringle's Sub., which she owns, has been investigated and I wish to report the following facts: Special Session, December 14, 1921 In the first place, the improvement of Cox Street and the improvement of Angella Street Were separate im- provements. Both were levied on November 6, 1919. The assessment on account of the improvement of Cox Street was $69.12; $19.74 of this assessment has been paid, leaving a balance of $41.38. The assessment against the lot on account of the im- provement of Angella Street amount- ed to $126.56, of which $36.16 has been paid, leaving a balance of $90.40. Assuming that the value of this lot is $200.00, which is a fair value, Miss Reid would be entitled to a reduction in the outstanding as- sessment on account of the improve- ment of Angella Street. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager. Councilman Brede moved that the recommendation of the City Man- ager be approved and that the money paid on the assessment against Lot 2, Kringle's Sub., for the improvement of Cox and Angella Streets be accepted as payment in full for said improvements and the Treasurer be notified to cancel the balance ($90.40), which is still on the books against this property.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: The following is a supplemental report upon collections made by me upon delinquent personal property taxes turned over to me by your Honorable Body some time ago. Since my last report I have collected the following sums from the follow- ing persons: William Gow $ 84.48 Bennett Brothers 24.83 Lenehan & Heller 5.60 $114.91 In the case of Williani Gow, taxes were collected for the years 1919, 1918 and 1917 with interest and for 1916 without interest. The tax of 1915 should be cancelled. In the case of Bennett Brothers, the tax was collected for the years 1919, 1918 and 1917 with interest and for 1916 without interest. Taxes from 1910 to 1915, both inclusive, should be cancelled. In the case of Lenehan & Heller, taxes were collected for the year 1916 without interest and the taxes for the years 1912 to 1915, both in- clusive, should be cancelled; also the .fax for the year 1914 against Lena - han & Wiegand, because this is a duplication. I further recommend the cancella- tion of the following taxes: J. A. Benson, for the year 1919, $1.55; American Surety Company, for the year 1919, $1.55; Joseph Die - bald, for the years 1912 to 1919, both inclusive; Dr. A. E. Fosselman, for the year 1919; John D. Langdon( for the year 1919; Alex Seezer, for the year 1919. These taxes should be cancelled because in each instance the parties are out of business and have no property subject to execu- also recommend the cancellation tio of the taxes_levied against J. I. Mul- lany for the year 1911 to 1919, both inclusive, because Mr. Mullany has 368 Special Session, December 20, 1921 been dead for some years -and his estate has been closed and dis- tributed. Also the taxes assessed to Mrs. Catherine Salot- for the years 1915 to 1918, both inclusive, because this was an erroneous assessment Also the taxes of Mrs. Harry F. Salot for the years 1911 to -1914, both inclusive, for the reason that these parties are no longer residents of the City of Dubuque. I also recommend the cancellation of the taxes assessed to Simon W. Straus, S. W. Waring and Saul F. Weiser, for the reason that these as- sessments were illegally levied. Also the tax against Charles Van Valkenberg for the year 1919, be- cause this party has no property sub- ject to execution. I beg to advise you further that I have started suit for the January Term of the District Court against W. C. Fosselman, -Princess Theatre, B. Tenner and -L. M. Warren. You will find - hereto attached my check in the sum -of One - Hundred Fourteen Dollars Ninety-One Cents ($114.91), covering the collection made by me as shown by this report. I respectfully recommend the ap- proval. of this report . and suggest that the treasurer be instructed to make the cancellations herein re- ferred to. 'Respectfully submitted, M. H.
