Communication of the Dubuque
Park Board as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: The members of the
-Park Board are advised that in the
near future you will make the an-
nual appropriations We call your
a ttention so that it -will not be over-
looked when appropriations are
made, to the matter of the Madison
street stairs. These stairs are now
completed and cost the total sum
of $2,980.91, ano we are prepared to
submit ar. ,itemized statement show-
ing this cost; $1,250.00 was appro-
priated last year, which was turned
over to the Park Board and the
Council agreed to assume the bal-
ance of the cost additional to the
$1,250.00 up to $2,100.00 or an ad-
ditional $850.00, if it cost that
much, and the Park Board agreed
to pay any cost above the $2,100.00
out of the park funds. It will be
necessary to have suitable appro-
priation made to cover this matter.
In addition to this matter we re-
quest that when you make the ap-
propriation for the coming year you
include an appropriation for park
purposes to be transferred to the
Park fund and in support of this re-
quest we call your attention to the
following:
Last summer we certified to the
Council, as contemplated by law,
that it would require a levy of
three- fourths of a mill or $24,000.00
for park expenses for the coming
year. When the levy was made you
levied only one-half mill, which we
estimate will yield approximately
$16,000.00. This levy is in the same
amount that the levy has alwayg
been since the existence of the
Park Board. In the meantime, as
you know, the park system has been
greatly developed. The Park Board
is ,operating several play grounid.•s.
The cost of labor and of everything
else for which the park funds are
used have greatly increased and it
is absolutely iinposbible to maintain
the parks of this ojty on the amount
produced by the levy of one -half
Mill. Last year we petitioned you
for an appropriation additional to
20 Regular Session, February 6th, 1919 Regular- Session, February 6th„ 1919. 21.
the levy of $8,000.00. You made an
appropriation of $2,500.00. We real-
ized the financial necessities of the
city and did the best we possibly
could to get along during the past
year with the funds so provided but
they are wholly inadequate.
We have installed the apparatus
for the play grounds at Elm and
Fourteenth streets, and it involves
considerable expense to operate that
playground and there are other
playgrounds in the city that should
be developed. We ask the privilege
of appearing before such committee
as you shall refer this request to
and our wish would be that it
might be referred to the Committee
of the Whole before the appropria-
tions are made, and that we might
be given an opportunity to meet
with you and discuss personally the
needs of the Park Board.
Dubuque, Iowa, February 5, 1919.

GLENN BROWN,
HERBERT ADAMS,
F. J. PIEKENBROCK,
Park Commissioners.

Gentlemen: Attached you will
find sheet showing approximately
the indebtedness to the Dubuque

Some of these items have now
been carried for over five years, par-

they were all contracted in building
the grandstand. If at any time
you would like to have an explana-
tion of any of these items, I would
be glad to give it to you.
There should be an appropriation

lowing something for the care of the
grounds the coming year.
Payments will be made to these
people individually, - and nothing
made to me, which will be itemized,
and I do not insist on that. I hope
that you will give this your careful
attention in the very near future.
Respectfully yours,
EUGENE ADAMS.

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: As per your instruc-
tions the Street Commissioner and
myself, have examined the street
scrapper owned by. this city and I
find that it is not of our make, nor
do I know who does make it. I find
it to be in such a condition that to
put it in good shape it would be
almost necessary to rebuid it, under
present conditions this would cost
you in the neighborhood of $200.00.
We can furnish you with a little
Wtestern steel grader for $200.00 F.
O. B., factory or an Auistin Standard
reyersable grader for $300.00 F. O.
B. factory. Should this proposition
meet with your approval I would be
glad to take your order for imme-
diate delivery. Very truly,
THE AUSTN WESTERN MFG. CO.
Per A. Robinson.'
