This section gives authority for the
construction of the sidewalk. The
next point is how shall the improve-
ment be ordered. Section 33 of the
Revised Ordinances of 1901, page 115,
which is a part of an ordinance en-
titled "An Ordinance to provide for
improving the streets, alleys and pub-
lic landings, and for the construction
and repair of sidewalks, is in this
language ":
Whenever the City Council shall
order any sidewalk to be laid, such
resolution, describing the places
where the same is to be built, the
kind of material, and time allowed,
shall be published in one issue of a
newspaper published in such city, and
it shall be the duty of the Chief of
Police to serve a notice of said order
on each of said lots or parts of any
lots fronting or abutting upon said
contemplated improvements, when the
owner can be found, or upon his agent
or the attorney for the property if he
has any in the city, etc.
From this section of the ordinance
we learn that the order for the im-
provement shall first be made by
resolution. This resolution shall be
published once in a newspaper of
general circulation in the city. This
gives to all parties concerned con -
structive notice of the improvement.
By the terms of the ordinance itself
there is contemplated that the im-
provement will effect more than one
abutting property owner and that
more than one property owner is to
be notified by the publication of the
resolution because it provides that
after said resolution is published then
the Chief of Police shall serve with
actual personal notice the owner of
each of said lots or parts of any lots
fronting or abutting on said con-
templated improvement. In other
words where more than one lot which
lie adjoining one another and which
are owned by different property own-
ers the resolution can contain the
names of such owners and the de-
scription of such lots, but before the
owner is actually charged with the
improvement he must be personally
or by his agent served with an actual
notice of the intention of the Council
to make such improvement. The in-
, tention of the ordinance is to give
notice before a lot can be burdened
with the assessment. Therefore it
provides that the Chief of Police must
serve a personal notice on each lot
owner.
Following this line of reasoning my
opinion is that the Council, by one
resolution, can order the construction
of a number of sidewalks which lie
continguous to one another along a
certain street, providing the other re-

Opinion of City Attorney.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen: —At the last regular
meeting of your honorable body held
on May 7th, I was requested to fur-
nish you with my opinion as to the
right of the Council to order the con-
struction of a number of sidewalks
which are to lie contiguous to one an-
other along the whole length of a
street by a "blanket" resolution, that
is, whether or not one resolution con-
taining the location of each sidewalk
and describing the lot to be charged
therewith, the known owner thereof
and the materials to be used therein
is sufficient, or if a separate resolution
is necessary for each sidewalk.
I beg to report that I have made
an investigation of this question and
have herein set down the conclusions
arrived at.
I find that a sidewalk is a part of
the street and may be improved upon
the same authority which warrants
the improvement of the rest of the
street. This is a general proposition.
The further step is where does the
Council get the authority to authorize
the construction of the sidewalk?
Section 779 of the Code of Iowa of
1897, under the head of "Permanent
Sidewalks," provides:
They (meaning the Council) shall
struction, reconstruction or repair
of permanent sidewalks upon any
street, highway, avenue, public
ground, wharf, landing or market
place within the limits of such city
or town; and they, shall assess the cost
thereof on the lots or parcels of land
on front of which the same shall be
constructed.

Dubuque, Iowa, May 22, 1914.
To the Honorable City Council of the
City of Dubuque:
Gentlemen of the City Council: At
the special session of your honorable
body held May 14th, 1914, the peti-
tion of the Allison- Henderson Memor-
ial association, asking that a contract
be entereu into with M. H. McCarthy
for the purchase of the land former-
ly occupied by the Standard Lumber
company, the said land to be used for
a river front park, was granted and
the Mayor instructed to enter into
such contract. I desire to state that
I am opposed to the proposed con-
tract for the following reasons:
1st. I think that an improvement
involving so much money should have
had more consideration at the hands
of your honorable body than was ac-
corded in the present case.
2nd. I believe the price asked to
be excessive.
3rd. I believe that the initial cost
to the city, owing to the peculiar na-
ture of the material used in filling
a large portion o._ the property involv-
ed, would be but a small item in the
ultimate cost of the ground proposed
to be purchased, because for many
years to come such material will
shrink materially and it is impossible
to estimate the amount of solid filling
that will be necessary to maintain the
park at a normal grade.
4th. Our ordinances provide that
no contract can be entered into dur-
ing any fiscal year unless an appro-
priation has been created to meet
the expense incurred thereby.
5th. The supreme court of the State
of Iowa has decided that in cities
having a Board of Park Commission-
ers, such Board has absolute Jurisdic-
tion in the matter of purchasing land
for park purposes, and that the city
councils in such cities had nothing
whatever to do with such matters.
I therefore veto the motion tliat
was adopted instructing the Mayor to
enter into a contract for the purchase
