FINANCE REPORT.
DuBuQuE, Iowa, March lst, 1903.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of
Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Your Committee on Finance herewith
presents for your consideration the annual reports of the
different city officers, showing the work done in the sev-
eral departments, the cost of the same, a general state-
ment of the financial condition of the city, and the receipts
and expenditures in detail for the fiscal year just ended.
During the past year a. number of important improve-
ments have been made, among which were the building of
the Grandview Avenue engine house, which cost, com-
plete and equipped, something over $6,000.00; the exten-
sion of the Bee Branch storm water sewer at a cost of
$7,000.00, the opening. of Lincoln Avenue from White to
Jackson Street which cost $5,440.00, and the completion
of the approach to the Dubuque and Wisconsin Bridge at
a cost of $5,000.00. The inauguration of municipal street
sprinkling necessitated an outlay of $2,340.00 for sprink-
ling wagons. The continual washing out of the macadam
on Fifth Avenue and the large amount of money annually
expended in repairing it after every severe storm induced
the council to brick -pare the first two blocks west of
Blomberg Avenue,. which • was done at an expense of
6 FINANCE REPORT.
$1,400.00, and the results obtained have fully justified the
outlay.
The city called in for redemption, the second install-
ment of twenty water works bonds, making a: reduction
so far of $40,000.00 in the Water Works Bonded Debt.
There was an increase of $12,389.54 in the Floating
Debt, but as there were $20,000.00 of the Water Works
Debt paid off, the total indebtedness of the city has been
reduced $7,610.46.
It has been found from experience that it is unwise
to attempt to conduct the business of the city with less
than the proceeds of an eleven mill levy; at least until
the Bee Branch sewere is completed and the water works
paid for. It shouldbe borne .in Mind that out of this
eleven mill levy, one mill is for the Water Works Sinking
Fund, one mill for the interest on the Water Works
Bonds and one -quarter of a mill is for the Free Public
Library, leaving but eight and three-quarter mills to
maintain all the various departments of the city and also
to pay the interest on the outstanding indebtedness con-
tracted by previous administrations.
Considering the large amount expended on the above
mentioned permanent improvements, and the great ex-
pense to which the city was put in making the necessary
repairs to streets that were badly damaged by the ex-
cessive rains of the early summer, we feel that this coun-
cil has just cause to feel proud of the record made during
the fiscal year 1902.

STREET AND ALLEY CLEANING.
There has been some decrease in the expense of Cleaning Streets
and Alleys, as it now costs about one-third of the ap
propriation made#or
the Road Department. This expense could be still decreased, by the
paving of more of our Streets and Alleys, and by the use of harder and
better macadam.
The time is not far distant when the Alleys in the thickly settled
sections of the City should be improved with a pavement, which is more
easily kept clean than macadam. I would recommend that, when a
general repair of an Alley was required, that it be paved with brick.
They can then be easily cleaned and in case of excavation being made,
cheaply repaired.
Perhaps during the winter it would be a hardship to property
owners to compel them to keep clean Alleys, but when the refuse is
removed in the spring the Ordinances should be rigidly enforced.
FINANCE REPORT.
35
STREET REPAIRS.
It would seem that property holders are not in favor of replacing
macadam streets with brick or more costly pavements, but are satisfied
with the present methods of repairing, which means that after streets
are once unproved at the expense of abutting property owners, the City
will keep them in repair. ,I see no good reason why the present plan
should not be continued except the curb and gutter should be replaced
at the expense of abutting property holders, and the gutters, when re-
newed, should be paved with brick, making a gutter more easily cleaned
and repaired.
FIFTH AND KAUFMANN AVENUES.
The City, the past year, paved a part of Fifth Avenue; the center
with brick, the sides with stone. This work should be continued until
all the macadam is replaced with stone or brick pavement. Kauffmann
Avenue will have to be treated the same way as it is not possible to
keep ordinary macadam in place with the amount of water that has to
be contended with on these streets.
MACADAM.
This question is always in one shape or another before your Honor-
able Body, but has not been satisfactorily solved. We have an abund-
ance of rock, but a large percentage of it is too soft for the wearing sur-
face of our streets. I would recommend that the City try and secure
two or three quarries, conveniently located, and have rock broken suit-
able for the wearing surface of streets carrying the heavy traffic. The
breaking of it should be under the direct supervision of the City and
would not prevent other parties from furnishing a large portion of the
macadam used.
STORM WATER SEWERS.
Storm water sewers should be extended on Fifteenth Street from
Pine to Elm Street; on Sixteenth Street from Pine to Washington
Street and one Twenty-third Street from Jackson Street to Washington
Street.
These extensions could be mostly tile pipe.
36 FINANCE REPORT.
SANITARY SEWERS.
The extension of our sanitary sewer system should keep pace with
the building up of the City. There is, a necessity for requiring sewer
connections to be made in many places. Dish and wash water should
go into the sewers, not be thrown in the alleys.
There is a demand for the extending of what will be known as the
Dodge Street sewer district. At this office there are many inquiries
about the chances for sewers in this portion of the City. This will be a
large district, embracing nearly two square miles, and the assessment
for constructing.a portion of it, especially on Dodge Street burdensome
on property holders.
The time of the Engineer's force has been fully employed in super-
vising improvements, making surveys, plats, profiles, etc. There is a
large amount of work in the Engineer's office even if but little street im-
provements are being made. A new lot book is being prepared which
requires considerable time and care.
I am under obligations to Assistant Engineer Eugene Anderson, for
efficiency in the discharge of his duties and for the uniformly courteous
treatment and support of your Honorable Body.
Respectfully Submitted,
JAMES H. BOYCE,
City Engineer.

Company, and Lieut. Capt. John Fitzpatrick of the Hook and Ladder
Company. Both were killed by a falling wall while fighting a fire at the
Iowa Iron Works, corner Ninth and Washington Streets, May 8, 1902.

was sincerely regretted by all.

Recommendations.
Gentlemen of the City Council of Dubuque, I would sincerely call
your attention to the following recommendations, as I judge they will
improve the working of this department and give better service.
Some of these I recommended last year and the year previous, but
I deem them of so much importance that I shall mention them again in
this report, hoping they will receive your prompt and earliest attention.
That you place another company of eight men to man the reserve
company now located at the Central House, and also a company of four
men to be stationed at Queen Street.
Water plugs through the manufacturing and lumber districts from
the hill service.
I would also recommend that we get a new hook and ladder truck
to take the place of the old Babcock, which has been in service the last
thirty years and which is not safe to use.
I sincerely hope that the above recommendations will meet with the
hearty approval and receive the prompt and carefulattention of your
honorable body.
In adding finis to this, my annual report of the Fire Department
for the fiscal year ending 1902, I wish to return my thanks to His Honor,
the Mayor, to the gentlemen of the Fire Committee and members of the
City Council for the many favors extended, and assuring you that my
efforts shall be, as they have been in the past, to raise the standard of
the department and to make it the peer of all in point of service and
equipment. Gentlemen, I extend you my sincere thanks.
Very sincerely,
JOSEPH REINFRIED,
Chief.
ELECTRICIAN'S REPORT.

The City is now using 376 arc lights and one incandescent light for
lighting our streets and avenues.
I have kept a record of all defective lights reported to me during the
past year and rebates amounting to $703.35 have been paid back to the
City.
The following statement will give a general description of. all elec-
trical construction and recommendations for same:
Fire Alarm.
The fire alarm has given the best of satisfaction the past year. We
have in use the Gamewell fire alarm system. We have in circuit thirty-
two miles of wire, fifty-six street boxes, and eighteen auxiliary boxes
connected with the Western Union Telegraph Company, six gongs,
three indicators, one repeater, and are using 13o cells of gravity battery
to operate the same. I would recommend that you replace the gravity
battery with storage battery, as you can operate the storage battery
for about $25 per year after it is installed.
The poles and wires in the city are in fair condition. During the
past year the Union Electric Company have. taken out duplicate pole
lines in the alleys and it makes it better to handle ladders in case of fire.
I recommend that you would compel the different companies to go
underground, as it will clean our streets and alleys of the unsightly pole
lines.
In conclusion I thank the City officials, also the Police department
and members of the Fire department for so promptly calling my at-
tention to dangerous wires. Without their assistance I would have to
report some accidents or fatalities caused by electricity.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM HIPMAN,
City Electrician.

REPORT OF HEALTH PHYSICIAN.
Dubuque, Iowa, May 2, 1903.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: —The Physician to your Board of Health has the honor
to submit his annual report for the year ending February 28, 1903.
The number of deaths for the year is 512, as against 427 for the
previous year, showing an increase of 85. The number of births is 625
as against 541 for the previous year, showing a gain of 84. The births
outnumber the deaths by 113 as against 114 for last year.
The number of contagious diseases reported during the year is 218,
of which 69 were Small Pox, a decrease of 236. There have been two
deaths from Small Pox. There were 57 cases of Scarlet Fever, 42 cases
of Measles, 14 cases of Diptheria and 36 cases of Typhoid Fever.
During the past year we had an epidemic of Typhoid Fever; there
were reported 36 cases with 14 deaths—arate of death of 38.88 per cent.
of reported cases. This epidemic was of a type of moderate severity,
one in which might be expected a death rate of from 5 to to per cent.
It has come to myknowledge that the physicians of this city were under
the impression that only such cases that require the premises to be
placarded should be reported; for that reason a large percentage of
Typhoid cases were not reported. If the total deaths were 5 per cent.,
we had 28o cases; if to per cent. we had a total bf 14o cases of Typhoid
Fever. In my opinion the actual number lies between the above figures.
An epidemic of this kind is a very severe lesson, especially as it could
be prevented. These cases occurred in persons using cistern and well
water. Repeated examinations have shown the absolute safety of water
furnished by the City Water Works. The deductions from the above
are apparent.
114 FINANCE REPORT.
All wells within the City limits should be condemned, because the
entire soil is dangerously contaminated with the seipage from vaults
and cesspools. Cisterns cleaned every year and protected from surface
water, are not so dangerous; but the fault lies in the fact that the
majority of cisterns are not properly cared for.
In my opinion the number of Typhoid Fever cases could be reduced
to the minimum by having sewer connections wherever possible, by a
thorough system of garbage collection, and a general use of city water
in place of wells and cisterns.
The ice fields were inspected by order of your Board, and it was
found that all ice was being cut from the channel of the river and should
be of good quality.
During the year 115 houses have been fumigated under the super-
vision of Sanitary Policeman Flynn, who also investigated 1,24o com-
plaints pertaining to this department. There were also 15 sewer con-
nections ordered made and 168 vaults cleaned.
Respectfully submitted,
B. MICHEL, M. D.,
Physician to the Board.
