Ij
to enter into a contract for the con-
struction of a bathing pool 'together
with all of the accessories appurtain-
ing thereto, in accordance with the
plan as submitted by the Bathing
Beach Commission. In compliance
with your request the city attorney's
office has gone into the question thor-
, oughly and beg to submit its findings
as to the law governing the case.
When the city council made its ap-
propriations for the year 1915 at the
beginning of the fiscal year in March,
it set aside a fund of Four Thousand
Five Hundred $4,500.00) Dollars, to be
used by the bathing beaci. commission
for the erection of a municipal bath-
ing pool on 14th and Elm streets. The
Bathing Beach Commission have ad-
veiitised for bids for the construction
of the bathing pool as contemplated by
the plans prepared by them and it ap-
pears that the lowest bid is in the
neighborhood of fourteen thousand
($14000.00) dollars. You are now ask-
ed to enter into a contract for the con-
struction of the bathing pool, the con -
tract price to be fourteen thousand
($14000.00) dollars, having at the pres-
ent time an appropriation of four thou-
sand five hundred ($4500.00) dollars
available for that purpose. The ques-
tion presented is, "Has the City Coun-
cil the right to anticipate the revenues
of future years to the extent of Nine
thousand ($9000.00) dollars by pledg-
ing its future funds in the form of
appropriations duly made until the
contract price is liquidated ?" Our
answer to this proposition is that the
City Council possesses no such legal
right or authority. To support our
position we submit to your honorable
body the propositions of law as we
find them.
In the first place City Councils have
only such power as are expressly giv-
en them by statute or which follow by
necessary implication. They have no
right to exceed those powers. Enum-
erated among the powers of city coun-
cils of cities such as Dubuque, we
find this general provision of law:
Section 942 of the Code of Iowa,
1897, being applicable to special char-
ter cities, is as follows:
"The council shall make the appro-
priation for all the different expendi-
tures for each fiscal year at or before
the beginning thereof; and Pt shall be
unlawful to issue any warrant, or to
enter into any contract or appropriate
any money, in excess of the amount
thus appropriated, for the different ex-
penses of the city during the year for
which said appropriation shall be
made. It shall not be appropriated,
in the aggregate, an amount in excess
of its annual legally authorized rev-
enue, but nothing therein shall prevent
such cities from anticipating 'their

revenue for the year for which such
appropriations are made, or from bond-
ing or refunding their outstanding in-
debtness."
The terms of this statute are ex-
plicit and there seems to be no room
for doubt. It expressly provides that
the city council has no right to enter
into a contract for any purpose when
the amount of the contract shall be
greater than the amount of the appro-
priation set aside for that purpose. In
other words it confines the city council
to only such expenditures for which
they have made provisions at the be-
ginning of the fiscal year.
Recognizing the law as it stands
upon the statute books the city coun-
cil enacted an ordinance in substan-
tial compliance with the section above
cited, which provides as follows:
1st —On or before the 1st of March
the council shall make appropriations
for all the different expenditures of
the city government.
2nd —Such appropriation must enu-
merate all the departments, officers,
employees, objects and purposes
for which any appropriation may be
made, and shall set forth the amounts
thus appropriated for each object or
Purpose.
3rd —That there shall not be appro-
priated or expended on account of
any department officers, employee, ob-
ject or purpose whatever, any further
or other amount during the year for
which such appropriation shall be
made other than the amount thus ap-
propriated at the time and in the man-
ner above set forth, nor shall any war-
rant be issued or indebtness contract-
ed for any purpose whatsoever in ex-
cess of the appropriation therefor, nor
shall any amount be drawn or paid,
or indebtedness contracted on account
of any of the funds thus created, or
in the general revenues of the city,
unless appropriations have been made
therefor in compliance with the ordi-
nance.
A question might arise as to wheth-
er or not the city council could not
negotiate a loan or issue a warrant
payable in sum future year. To this
again the answer must be that the
city council has no such right, but all
loans must be confined to the year in
which the same is made and to be
paid out of the current funds of the
year in which the loan or warrant was
made.
Section 1007 of the Code of Iowa
of 1897, provides as follows:
"Loans may be negotiated or war-
rants issued by any such city In antici-
pation of its revenues for the fiscal
year in which such loans are negotiat-
ed or warrants issued, but the aggre-
gate amount of such loans and war-
rants shall not exceed one half of the

Dubuque, Iowa, June 1, 1915.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: At a recent meeting of
your Committee of the Whole
your honorable body referred to me
for an opinion the question of whether
or not the city council has the right
$ 4 11
14 80
1 98
and City
Mayor
230 Regular Session, June 3, 1915
estimated revenue of such corpora-
tions for the fund or purpose for
which the taxes are to be collected
for fiscal year."
1;'rom these sections it can readily
be seen that the law was so drawn as
to prevent the city from entering any
contract by which a subsequent year's
revenue was to be anticipated.
In the case of Windsor vs the City
of Des Moines, reported in 110th Iowa
175, these statutes 'Were construed by
our Supreme Court. In that case the
City of Des Moines attempted to enter
into a contract for the erection of an
electric light plant, issued warrants
for the purchase price and pledged its
future revenues to the payments of
these warrants. The contract was
questioned and the Supreme Court de-
termined the case adversely to the
right of the city to exercise the power
attempted. Among other things it
said:
"Grant that the city had the right
to levy a special assessment for the
purpose of maintaining and operating
an electric light plant, yet it does not
follow that it could anticipate its fut-
ure general revenues, for the purpose
of erecting such a plant."
And again:
"Suppose a city should anticipate
all its general revenue and thus leave
nothing for the payment of current
expenses, and suppose further, that it
should issue warrants for the payment
of these expenses, which were not paid
for wants of funds; could not the hold-
er of these warrants enforce them
against the city, and and if enforced,
and the city is compelled to pay (as
it no doubt it would be obliged to do)
the amount thereof, in addition to the
amounts previously appropriated for
improvements would not the very ob-
ject of the constitutional provisions,
(providing for a limited indebtedness)
be thwarted, and a wise provision of
our fundamental law rendered nuga-
tory? As a general rule, a city may
not anticipate its general revenues to
be created by a scheme of general
taxation."
From these excerpts it must be
plain that should the city attempt to
enter into a contract by which its
future revenues are anticipated, such
a contract would be unenforceable and
without effect. In some instances it
is true a special tax can be voted, but
this does not happen to be one of
those cases. The reason back of these
laws is cities should be placed upon a
cash basis, and by making the re-
strictions provided by these statutes
an accumulation of a floating indebt-
edness is prevented.
Basing your opinion then upon the
law governing this case we must ad-
vise your honorable body that you
have no right to enter into a contract
for the construction of the swimming
pool for any amount in excess of the
legal appropriation made by you.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK,
City Attorney
On motion of Ald. Clancy the report
of the city attorney was made a matter
of record.
Dubuque, Iowa, June 2, 1915.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Dubuque.
Gentlemen: Under date of April
3rd, 1913, the City Council approved a
recommendation of the Committee on
Claims and the City Attorney, arrang-
ing for a settlement in the cases ot
Kleine vs City, Kleine vs City, Fab -
rinni vs City, Raine vs City. The
settlement as agreed upon was made
with the provision that the City's
share of the settlement which amount-
ed to $500 00, was to be retained un-
til the Raine case was disposed ot
and then whatever money remained
was to go to Thomas Hassett. There
was no provision made at that time
for the drawing of a warrant or war -
rants in favor of the Mayor in the
above sum. I would, therefore, re-
commend at this time, that two war-
rants be drawn in favor of the Mayor,
one in the sum of $425 00 and the
other in the sum of ,'r 00, the same
to be paid in accordence with the in-
structions to the Auditor by the City
Attorney.
Respectfully submitted.

On motion of Ald. Callahan 1 ie re-
port of the City Attorney was appron-

Ald. Wallis offered the following:
Whereas it was the intention and
desire of the city council, in connec-
tion with the improvement of Delhi
Regular Session, June 3, 1915
241
street and Julien avenue, to allow such
of the old stone curb as was in good
condition to remain, but whereas it
appears from an examination of the
resolution and the contract concerning
said improvement that leaving any of
the present curb in places might in-
validate the assessment for the entire
job, and Whereas the contract has
been signed by the contractor and by
the mayor representing the City of
Dubuque and cannot now be cancelled
without paying the contractor all his
expected profit from the job, and
Whereas we deem it unjust that the
property owners be asked to pay the
cost of all such new curb, therefore,
Be it Resolved by the City Council
of the City of Dubuque that the city
pay for as much of the assessment of
the Julien avenue and Delhi street
improvement as represents the cost of
the curbing and that this payment
be credited to the various parcels of
property subject to assessment pro
rata, and Be it Further Resolved that
the money to make this payment be
obtained from the following funds:
$700.00 from the Second Ward Road
Fund; $800.00 from the Fourth Ward
Road Fund and the balance from the
fund to be later determined by the
City Council.
