popular demand for a revision in our

to motor vehicles, I have taken it
upon myself to prepare a revised or-
dinance and take the liberty in sub-
mitting the same to your honorable
body for passage, if the same, after
due deliberation meets with your ap-
proval. I would suggest that this or-
dinance be referred to the committee
of the whole and there carefully dis-
sected. In this connection, however,
let me say further that if the ordi-
88 Regular Session, April 5, 1917.
Hance is referred to the committee of
the whole, that a meeting of said
committee be called at a very early
date for the purpose of taking up and
discussing the ordinance, as there
should be no further delay in regulat-
ing, by more stringent method, the
use of motor vehicles upon the pub-
lic streets.

I would recommend that the same be
made a matter of record.

STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT.
Whereas, Oscar M. Ayers, of the
City of Dubuque, has filed his peti-
tion with the City Council of said
City, praying permission to erect a
small building along the shore of
Lake Peosta, and more particularly
upon Second Avenue where said Seo-
ond Avenue terminates; and
Whereas, said City Council being
anxious to assist said petitioner in es-
tablishing a little home for himself
and his family; and
Whereas, the ground where said
petitioner desires to construct said
building' is at the present time unim-
proved and 'unused for street pur-
poses; now
Therefor, said petitioner is hereby
granted the right and permission to
erect a small building at the place
above stated with the express provi-
sion, however, that if said City of
Dubuque, through its Council, should
at any time desire to use said portion
of said street where said building is
constructed, for public purposes, or
for any purpose whatsoever, then said
petitioner shall, upon notice, written
or oral, immediately remove said
building, and said ground upon which
said building is constructed shall be
put hack in as good condition as it
was before said building was erected
thereon.
The petitioner, in consideration of
the permission granted, hereby agrees
to remove the building which he is
about to erect at the point above
stated, at any time that he is notified
to do so by the Ciy Council of the
City of Dubuque, and expressly agrees
to all other conditions as herein stat-
ed which are attached to the permis-
sion hereby granted.
It being unclerstood that said pe-
titioner shall use said building and
the ground upon which the same is
placed for no other purpose than for
dwelling purposes, and if said peti-
tioner should attempt to use said
premises for any unlawful purpose, or
any purpose inconsistent with the
permission hereby granted, his right
to further occupy said premises shall
be forfeited.
The signing of this agreement by
the petitioner shall be deemed an ac-
ceptance of all its terms and condi-
tions.
Signed at Dubuque, Iowa, this 20th
day of February, 1917.
OSCAR M. AYERS.
In the presence of M. H. Czizek.
On motion of Ald. Strobel the Stip-
ulation and Agreement were made a
matter of record.
Dubuque, Ia., April 5, 1917.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: The. petition of Mary
F. Miller relative to the taxes for
1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916 upon the
west one -half ('/2) of lot 3 of mineral
lot 129, which lot is assessed in the
name of Mary Ballard has been re-
ferred to me for investigation and
report. I beg to report that I have
investigated the facts in this case,
and find that Mary Ballard owns a
life estate in said lot, having a home-
stead interest therein, and that the
remainder is owned by Mary F. Mil-
ler, a step - daughter; that owing to
conditions which appear worthy to
your honorable body you permitted
the taxes for the above years to re-
main a lien upon the property, and
the property was not advertised for
sale on account of this fact. It seems
that Mrs. Ballard and Mrs. Miller
have a private arrangement between
themselves as to the payment of
taxes, under which arrangement Mrs.
Ballard agrees to pay the taxes. Of
course, this property is subject to
this tax at all times and if Mrs. Bal-
lard has breached any agreement
Which she has with Mrs. Miller, Mrs.
Miller has her recourse in a proper
action. But it does not seem to me
that the city should interfere with
any private arrangement existing be-
tween these parties, and I would
suggest that if this council thinks
that the person who asked that the
tax remain a lien upon the property
is worthy and should be given con-
sideration by you, then permit your
action to stand and receive and file
the petition of Mrs. Miller, as what-
ever controversy exists between these
parties can in no manner effect the
tax.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK, •
City Attorney.
On motion of Ald. Strobel the re-
port of the city attorney was approv-
ed and the petition referred to the
committee of the whole to view the
grounds.

To the Honorable Mayor and Mem-

Gentlemen: After the contract for
the improving of Clay street was
awarded salvage notices were sent to
all the property' owners. Quite a
number replied that they would take
Regular Session, April 5, 1917.
89
their salvage. Some of these people
would only take the brick, saying that
they have no use for the old sand
cushion and parts of brick.
In our advertisement for bids we
called for the contractors to bid a
price per square yard that would be
allowed to the property owners that
did not take them.
My understanding was, that when
a property owner takes any of his
salvage he must take it all. Would
like to have some instructions from
you relative to what shall be done
where the property owner does not
take all his salvage.
Yours respectfully,
, F. J. McNULTY,

lot No. 1 of the sub - division of lots
Nos. 529 and 530 located at the corner
