To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: I return herewith
the petition of Frank R. Lacy. In
said petition he alleges that his
homestead, being the south 147 feet
of the west 1 -2 of City Lot 746 was
returned for taxes for the year 1918
and valued by the City Assessor at
$15,000.00 and that said property
was raised by the Board of Equal-
ization and that notice was not
served on petitioner as required by
the ordinances of the City of Du-
buque.
I recommend that this petition be
referred to the City Auditor and if
his return shows that the ordinances
have been complied with, I recom-
mend that the petition be received
and filed. However, if his return
shows that notices were not served
as required by the ordinance, I rec-
ommend that said property be as-
sessed for the year of 1918 at
$15,000.00 and that the City Treas-
urer be instructed accordingly.

To the Honorable Mayor and City

Gentlemen: I return herewith pe-
tition of Frank R. Lacey, B. S.
Lacy and C. W. Lacy. In said peti-
tion of Frank R. Lacy, B. S.
owners of the south ten inches of
City Lot 77 and City Lot 77A; they
further state that said property was
returned for taxation for the year
1918 for the sum of $8,500.00 and
that the south 19 1 -2 feet of the
north 22 feet of City Lot 78 was
returned for taxation in the year

pieces of property were raised by
the Board of Equalization from
$12,000.00, as returned, to $12,780.00,
and in said petition it is alleged
that notice was not given as pro-
vided by ordinance.
I recommend that this matter be
referred to the City Auditor, who
was at that time clerk of the Board
of Equalization, and if his return
shows that notice, as provided by
ordinance, was served on petition-
ers, this petition be received and
filed. However, if his return, as
alleged by petitioners, does not
show that proper notice was served,
I recommend that the prayer of said
petition be granted and that the City
Treasurer be instructed to accept
taxes for the year 1918 on the basis
of a $12,000.00 valuation. In said
petition he further asks that the
taxes for the year 1918 be cancelled
on Mineral Lots 300 and the undi-
vided one -half of Mineral Lots 298
and 299, said property being situ-
ated on an island in the Mississippi
river commonly known as Ham's

be exempted from taxation for the
reason that it is used solely for
agricultural purposes. I recommend

ceived and filed.

RESOLUTION OF EMERGENCY
AND NECESSITY.
Whereas, on October 4th, 1919, the
City of Dubuque was visited with an
extraordinary, unusual rain storm,
similar to the one experienced on
July 9th, 1919;
Whereas, 'said rain storm caused
terrible force from the hills and ra-
terrible forcef rom the hills and ra-
vines on and through the streets,
avenues, alleys and sewers and
highways of the city, and
Whereas, such flood caused im-
proved and unimproved streets, al-
leys and sewers to be torn up and
destroyed, great ditches being
washed in macadam streets, there-
by rendering the streets impassable
for traffic and dangerous for public
use; and
Whereas, it is necessary that said
streets and sewers be repaired at
once in order to avoid many actions
for damages and also to make said
streets passable by the public; and
Whereas, the various road funds
of the City of Dubuque are inade-
quate to make the necessary re-
pairs and to pay the expense of
putting such streets and sewers in
proper condition; and
Whereas, this is an emergency
measure, designed to remedy a con-
dition which was unforeseen and
could not be anticipated;
Now, Therefore, be it resolved by
the City Council of the City of Du-
buque, in order to pay the expense
of repairing the streets, avenues,
alleys and sewers of the city with-
out delay, the committee on finance,
together with the Mayor, be and
they are hereby directed to affect
a loan with the banks of the city in
such an amount as they deem nec-
essary and advisable to pay the ex-
pense of repairing the streets where
they have been washed out by the
rain storm of October 4th, 1919, and
in order to secure said loan they are
granted the authority hereby to
pledge the credit of the city, said
loan to mature on March 1, 1920, at
which time the new fiscal year will
commence.
Dated this 7th day of October,
1919.
Ald. Frith moved the adoption of
the resolution. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:

Present —Alds. Andresen, Burch,
Hird, Leist, Plamondon.
Absent —Alds. Frith, Strobel.
Mayor Saul stated that this meet-
ing is called for the purpose of tak-
ing action on the audit and appraisal
of the Dubuque Electric Company's
books and holdings, and acting on
any other business that might prop-
erly come before a regular meeting
of the City Council.
Ald. Hird moved that the rules be
suspended for the purpose of allow-
ing anyone present to address the
Council.
Carried by the following vote:
Yeas —Aids. Andresen, Burch,
Hird, Leist, Plamondon.
Nays —None.
Absent —Alds. Firth, Strobel.
City Attorney Czizek explained to
Messrs. Johnson, Roshek, and Quin-
lan, the committee appointed to rep-
resent the citizens of the city in
the audit and apraisal of the Dp-
buque Electric company's books and
holdings, the action of the Council
in the matter to date, stating that
the agreement made with the Clay-
ton B. Stiver company was to the
effect that when they arrived to the
point when they could go no fur-
ther with their audit, which they
thought would be a possibility, they
would report the same, and that they
would not submit a report unless
they could submit an accurate one
that could be presented in court if
necessary.
Mr. Quinlan addressed the Coun-
cil stating that he did not approve
of an audit at the present time at
the present cost of materials; stat-
ed that in his opinion the Council
should take action at once placing
the fares back to five cents, and
then take all the time necessary to
have an audit made if they see fit.
Mr. Roshek addressed the Council
stating that the Clayton B. Stiver
Co. had reported to the Special
Committee two days after they had
started auditing the books that it
would be necessary to have an au-
praisal made of the Dubuque Elec-
tric Company's holdings, before they
could make a final report as the
books did not show an inventory
of the stock at any time but were
in the form of a catalogue, and as
purchases were made at different
times they were added to this cata-
logue, but there were no records
made at any time showing any dis-
Session, October 8th, 1919
439
posal of said stock by being dis-
carded as of no value, or by being
disposed of in any other manner,
therefore the books show that all
the stock ever purchased by said
company is on hand at the present
time.
Mr. Maynard addressed the coun-
cil, stating that the Dubuque Elec-
tric Company were desirous of hav-
ing this appraisal made, so that the
public could know just what their
holdings are, but was not in favor
of the auditors taking their figures
as a basis to work on as they did
not think that would satisfy the
people, also stated that the agree-
ment was that a complete report be
submitted or none and that that was
to be conclusive, and that if the
fare was put back at five cents
wages of the street car men would
nave to be set back.
Mr. Hollenbeck, representing the
street car men, addressed the Coun-
cil, stating that the street car men
were now getting 42 cents per hour
and would not submit to a cut in
wages.
Ald. Hird moved that action be
deferred as all of the Council were
not present; also that representa-
tives of the Clayton B. Stiver Co.
and the Special Committee be pres-
ent when action was taken.' Car-
ried.
Mr. Johnson addressed the Coun-
cil, stating that he thought an audit
and appraisal was the proper thing,
and that the records of the Raw Ap-
praisal company show they were a
reliable firm and had been recog-
nized as authority in a great many
proceedings of the court.
Mr. Johnson called for the records
of the Council Proceedings of the
meeting of October 2d, 1919. They
were presented and read showing
that representatives of the Clayton
B. Stiver Company were present at
that meeting.
An attempt was made to locate
the representatives of the Clayton
B. Stiver Co. that they might be
questioned relative to their audit,
but they could not be located.
The above mentioned parties ad-
dressed the council at different in-
tervals discussing the facts already
stated.
Ald. Andresen moved that a Spe-
cial Council meeting be called for
2:30 p. m. Monday, October 13th,
1919, and that the Special Commit-
tee on Auditing the Dubuque Elec-
tric Company's books representa-
tives of the Clayton B. Stiver Co.
and officers of the Dubuque Electric
Co. be notified to be present. Car-

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: At the present term
of the District Court for this Coun-
ty it was deemed advisable by our
office to effect settlements in the
cases herein named. In making
these settlements we are governed
by the fact that we believe it to be
more advisable to make a fair dis-
position of these cases out of court
rather than have the facts submit-
ted upon trial.
We have settled the case of Relli-
han and Mullen against the City for
the sum of $70.00 and costs. This
action grew out of an injury to a
horse belonging to the plaintiff wne:i
said horse sustained its injury by
stepping on a defective grate in the
alley between Alpine and Nevada
streets. The action was brought to
recover $200.00 as damages. We
ask that a warrant be drawn in fa-
vor of M. C. Matthews, at'.irniy for
plaintiff, in the sum of $.70.00
We have also settled the case of
George Meyer against the City for
the sum of $100. This case was a
personal injury case. Plaintiff fell
upon an icy sidewalk on Collier ave-
nue, broke his arm and sued the
City for $1500.00 damages. You
will draw warrant in favor of I3.
Stuart, attorney for plain. iff, in the
sum of $100.00.
We have also settled the case of
Fred Schmidt against the City for
the sum of $400.00 and costs. This
was also a personal injury case.
Plaintiff fell upon an icy sidewalk
on Washington street, broke his hip,
was confined for a period of six
months or more, sustained perma-
nent injury, incurred large indebt-
edness, and sued the City for $7,.
500.00. We believe the settlement
in this case, in view of the facts
and the evidence, to be advantage-
ous to the City. We ask that a war-
rant be issued to Frantzen, Bonson
and Gilloon, attorneys for plaintiff,
in the sum of $400.00.
We beg to advise that all of these
cases have been settled only after
full consideration of the facts and
after arriving at the conclusion that
a settlement was advisable. We
therefore request that you approve
our action and have warrants drawn
for the various amounts and instruct
the treasurer accordingly.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Frith the report
of the City Attorney was approved
and warrants ordered drawn to cov-
er the various amounts.
Ald. Frith moved that the Record-
er be instructed to draw loan war-
rants in the sum of $3,700.00 in fa-
vor of the Union Trust & Savings
bank to create an emergency fund
to take care of the payrolls and bills
caused by the flood of October 4th,
1919. Carried.

Council.
Ald. Frith offered the following:
Whereas, We believe the adoption
of Voting Machines in the City of
Dubuque would be a benefit to the
City of Dubuque on account of ac-
curacy, saving of time and the cost
of printing of ballots, and that the
saving in election expense will in
time pay for the machines and
Whereas, The price of machines
will be advanced 5% on Nov. 1, 1919,
we deem it expedient to place the
order before that date, to save the
city the difference.
Therefore, We the City Council of
the City of Dubuque, do pass the fol-
lowing resolution, subject to section
