Mayor Haas made the following re-
marks:
"Gentlemen of the City Council:
"I will not take up mcuh of your
valuable time, but before turning over
the keys of the city, I desire to make
a few remarks appropriate to the oc-
casion. I desire to expresys to you
my appreciation of the courtesy shown
me as mayor and your presiding offi-
cer. The result sachieved in the past
two years could only be accomplished
by the harmony that has existed, and
the .uteer absence of friction and self-
ish interest. I am sure that the ef-
forts of this body have been concen-
trated in the accomplishment of the
greatest good for our entire people,
and the progress and betterment of
our, city. I sincerely trust that these
same conditions may prevail with the
ne wcouncil in the next two years. I
congratulate your body upon the effic-
iency displayed by your appointive of-
ficers and employees. They have been
prompt in the discharge of their du-
ties. economical in their work, and
the results have shown that you se-
lected well when you named the heads
of the different departments to aid
you in the conduct of the city's af-
fairs, and I hope the new council will
use good judgment when they make
these appointments. The Police and
Fire departments of our city have
reached a degree of efficiency which I
believe is unequalled in any Iowa city
of the same proportions as our own.
Of all branches of our city govern-
ment, they are most in the public eye,
and they have passed the ordeal with
credit to themselves and to our city.
At no former time in my memory has
our city been so free from crime and
criminals, or its people so efficiently
guarded from the depredations of law
breakers. We have an orderly and
law- abiding city. The discipline of
our police force has been exceptional
and no fault can be found. Great
credit must be given the police ma-
trons for the manner in which they
discharged the duties of their office.
Our Fire department has become a
most efficient and valuable organiza-
tion, and is a feature to which all
point with pride.
TWO BUSY YEARS.
The two years just past, have been
busy ones in the improvement of our
streets, alleys, sewers and sidewalks.
Our main thoroughfares are nearly
all in good condition. In the last two
years we have laid over one and one -
half miles of brick paving, three and
one -half miles of tarvia and macadam
streets, and several alleys have been
paved with brick or cement, and right
here, I would recommend the paying
of all the alleys in the busniess section
of the city. This will not only im-
prove their appearance, but people will
take more pride in keeping them clean
and the cost will not be very much
to the property owners.
SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
"Great improvements was also made
in our sewer system. Over five miles
of storm sewer and sanitary sewers
have ben laid in the past two years,
and all of our severe system is in
first class condition, The urgent de-
mand of our citizens for the continua-
tion of the work, satisfies me that the
new council will find it their duty to
make the corning two years eventful
ones. When we consider that the
property owners along the proposed
improvements bear the expense, it
seems to me that the city should co-
operate with them.
"Our rive front with the Levee Im-
provement Commission back of it, will
no doubt receive the proper attention
and I am pleased to say that we have
a body of men on that commission, on
whom you can rely, and who, no doubt
will he in a position to obtain import-
ant concessions from the government
in having work done upon our river
front.
"Our Park Commissioners have been
untiring in their endeavor to carry
on the work of beautifying our parks
and avenues. If the citizens will co-
operate with the park commissioners .
we will indeed have a 'City Beautiful."
"The trustees of the public library
are making every effort to induce our
136 Regular Session, April 4, 1912
people to take full advantage of its
benefits.
"The board of trustees for the wat-
er works have provided our citizens
with a plentful supply f pure water
at minimum of expense to the tax -
r avers,
"The board of health of the city of
Dubuque, is credit to our city, and
our present freedom from contagious
diseases can be attributed 'to their
good work. Dubuque is one of the
most healthful cities in the United
States, but it requires vigilance to
kep it so.
PRAISE FOR CLERK.
"I cannot step out of office without
saying a few words of praise for Mr.
John W. Lawlor, the mayor's clerk,
He has alyays been pleasant, oblig-
ing and competent. He fulfills the
duties of his position admirably, and
I shall never forget his kindness.
"All of the city officials and em-
ployees have been polite and court-
eous, and I shall never forget my
pleasant association with them.
"In concluding, I believe the past
administration of the affairs of Du-
buque, has met the approval of its
citizens. It has ben marked with
strict economy as well as judicious
progress.
"I have great confidence in Du-
buque. It has never had a better and
brighter future than now. "All boost.
no knocking" should be our motto.
The Brunswick - Balke - Collender com-
pany has located in our city, and
erected an extensive and commod-
ious factory. This means the employ-
ment of a large number of persons,
and the advancement in price of real
estate in our city, especially_ in the
north end. As mayor, I lent my as-
sistance to the project, and as indi-
vidual contributed financially, and I
am sanguine of the results.
"I desire to express my good will
to the public press. I will ever re-
member the good things that hava
been written about me during my
term of office as alderman- at -largq
and as mayor. Any adverse criticism
that may have been made, will be
forgotten by me.
"I thank all the citizens of Dubuque
for the honor that I have received
at their hands, and believe my suc-
cessor will worthily fill my place.
"I thank you and bid you all a kind
farewell."
Mayor Haas then introduced M. E.
Lyons as Dubuque's next Mayor. He
then administered the oath of office.
Mayor Lyons then read his inaug-
ural address, which is as follows:
MAYOR LYONS' ADDRESS.
"The methods of administration in
the various cities of the United
States are said to exhibit every de-
gree of crudity and excellence. The
absence of sundry control and uni-
formity even in the cities of a single
state until within the last few years,
is remarkable. The conditions under
which municipal officers have labor-
ed in the past is appalling. The foot-
steps and the paths marked out by
their predecessors is about all that
has been present to guide them.
"That no greater losses have oc-
curred and that no greater faults
have been found, it attributable sole-
ly to the honesty of purpose of the
great body of public officials. I dare
say that ignorance of their authori-
ties, their obligations and their ad-
ministrative duties, has caused great-
er loss to American cities and inci-
dentally the tax - payers, than have
fraudulent, thieving or mischievous
officials. What more could be ex-
pected from those servants of the
people, who without preliminary
preparation or training are injected
bodily through partisan politics into
places of power and trust, for which
in many instances, they were no
more fitted or adopted than the
average school -boy. They must be
guided as would the school -boy by
the advices, counsels and suggestions
of older heads in the business. Thus
starting frequently with every hon-
esty of purpose, every ambition for
faithful and efficient service, many
who have aspired to the thrones of
public life have fallen ignobly or
passed out as mediocre. All charge..
able to not having had the proper
foundation for assuming the respon-
sibility and demands of the position
occupied. What more could be ex-
pected than an abhortive administra-
tion of such duties as the office im-
posed?
"This lack of preparedness has
had much to do with the cry that has
gone up demanding a revision of the
system. In many instances officials
are themselves blamable for the dis-
satisfaction that has grown up
throughout the land over that gen-
eral plan of government until recent-
ly considered as standard for admin-
istering American cities.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
"In the earlier days of our coun-
try when a mayor and a set of alder-
men were the sole elective officials in
whom were reposed, in so far as the
public was concerned, all responsi-
bilities for the administration of its
government, there was little com-
plaint. The later years brought ad-
ditions to the list of electives there-
fore a greater division of responsibi-
lity and through this tendency toward
divided authority here grew up a
feeling of officialdom of personal re-
sponsible rather than general. This
tendency led to an independence of
action on the part of the several
electives that has brooked no good
for those in authority. In the older
forms of local government, when all
administrative officers assembled,
discussing the welfare of all the citi-
zens of the community, following
such deliberations by acts and deeds
which worked for the common good
there was little complaint. But
from among the mass of independent
units boards and officials that later
came to govern our cities, there arose
jealousies and dissentions prompted
by the independence of and unre-
sponsibility for conduct and lacking
in unity of action, frequently at cross
purposes with other officials whose
duties and councils were often desir-
able adjuncts. It is only natural that
this should lead to a complete reor-
ganization sooner or later under a
new definite form of administration
such as would admit of undivided re-
sponsibilities together with a proper
centralization of authority. The ever
and constant changing of political,
social and economical conditions, the
improvement in plans and methods
of doing work, and the frequent
changes in controlling laws, have set
a task which most officials find in-
surmountable in the short period al-
lotted to them in an ordinary elective
term. Even the diligent, after gain-
ing information, fail to comprehend
the work before them to which they
have been assigned, until the oppor-
tunity has passed for putting into
effect that change which they have
come to know as best. The compaign
for standardizing methods of business
conduct had its birth within the last
twenty years, along commercial lines.
where its growth to hardy manhood
was rapid. A few years later the
seed sown in the public service field
began to sprout, acquiring a growth
that has been retarded by ignorance,
prejudice and parsimony. To Lift the
veil of ignorance, remove the wall of
prejudice, replacing parsimony with
the spirit of prudence is the goal to
be won by the many organizations
that are at this time striving for the
improvement of the conditions that
make for successful municipal ad-
ministration.
THE COMMISSION PLAN.
"The campaign for standardizing
municipal accounting and reporting
which has been waged for the past
dozen years, is having its duplicate in
the struggle now going on in many
communities to bring municipal af-
fairs to that definite standard of ad-
ministrative activity and responsibility
commonly spoken of as the commis-
sion plan of government. Following
the calamity at Galveston and its in-
cident upheaval in the methods of
conducting the municipal affairs of
Regular Session April 4, 1912 137
that city, there followed an awaken-
ing of the public mind to the realiza-
tion that within its grasp was a means
of bringing about reform that had
been appealing to them as necessary
in their home city. Prompted by the
news gathering service of the daily
press, nurtured by the able reviews in
important newspapers, the sprout
hatched at Galveston has so propa-
gated itself that at the present time
one finds reproductions of the orig-
inal in many states of our union. The
circumstances which brought to life
the commission plan at Galveston
have not been duplicated in any of
the other cities of its adoption, yet the
plan once started has gained a foot-
hold in many places that augurs for
permanence, and why? It has been
my good fortune to have been your
auditor and in that position I had a
chance to investigate certain condi-
tions, always finding the same general
trend toward that of complex govern-
ment by boards and numerous elec-
tive independent individual units,
working frequently at cross purposes,
seldom if ever wholly in harmony, or
working as a united whole.
CAUSE OF DISAFFECTION.
"This lack of cohesiveness, the lack
of co- operation, the lack of the proper
spirit if you please, is apparent
everywhere, and to this lack of co-
operation or union of endeavor in
working out the innumerable munic-
ipal problems to the best interests of
the citizens or community represented,
has had more to do with the public
dissatisfaction with municipal officials
and affairs than has the actual cor-
ruption. This dissatisfaction has pro-
duced a sort of civic unrest, which has
resulted in crystalizing the determin-
public official life has had nearly as
ation to bring about a change. I do
not believe that actual corruption in
public official life has had nearly so
much to do in bringing about the re-
cent great change of the public mind,
as has the tendency toward indif-
ference shown by the average public
official in the welfare and best in-
terests of the citizens of the commun-
ity as a whole. When the elective
officers of a municipilaity consisted
of a little more than mayor and
alderman with responsibilities fully
centered upon them for properly ad-
ministering civic affairs, there was
little clamoring for administrative re-
form except in those communities in
which incompentent and corrupt offi-
cials had secured the reins of govern-
ment. The occasonal corrupt official
frequently brought suspicion upon the
whole. The public's first efforts at
reform was to have laws drawn more
stringently, while making more posi-
tions elective, planning thereby to
break the corruption of the few or to
acquire greater efficiency of admin-
138 Regular Session, April 4, 1912
istration. This tendency to elect all
administrative officials soon led to
laws requiring the election of officials
whose positions could much better
have been filled by appointment at the
hands of a responsible head. In fact
administrative control became so ir-
responsible that the offices of mayor
an alderman were frequently reduced
to mere automatons without initiative,
except in a very limited sense. So little
control had they over the conduct of the
various adminstrative offices, that the
proper administration of municipal af-
fairs by these supposedly responsible
officials became as a joke without
point. Satisfactory results were not
nor could not be secured.
HASTENI\TG THE END.
"Instead of eliminating politics
from municipal administration the
many elective officers frequently be-
came a mass of seething rivals for
popular approval, each striving to
outdo the other in securing favors for
his immediate constituency regardless
of the interests of the community as
a whole. These are the things that
have hastened and are hastening the
downfall of the one -time popular
and today the most widely used plan
of municipal government. What is
there that has heretofore prevented
municipalities from coming to a
definite standard of - organization.
Whereby like functions of govern-
ment could be administered by the
same general authority and along the
same general lines and by officials
having like authorities, like responsi-
bilities and like tenures of office?
What prevents this other than ignor-
ance of method producing timidity of
execution or is it sublime indiffer-
ence? Have civic officials been so
wedded to ancient ways that they
could not see the handwriting on the
wall in time to get together? Would
you officials have it thus or do you
await the blast of commission govern-
ment, which is civic reform from the
outside? Now, gentlemen, will you
get together for the good of your town
or be driven from it, as you surely
will, for the demand of the day is re-
form in municipal administrations."
Mayor Lyons then called all th e
Aldermen before the desk of the City
Recorder and administered to them
the oath of office. The members are

Ald. Frith moved that W. P. Hip -
man be elected to the office of City
Electrician by acclamation. Carried.
The Mayor declared W. P. Hipman

Poundmaster: Ald. Wallis asked if
the office of Poundmaster was an ab-
solute necessity and, if it were pos-
sible to dispense with said office, it
would be a saving of about $500 per
year.
Ald. Singrin replied to Ald. Wallis
and stated that the office of Pound-
master was created for the upper 400
and if it was dispensed with it would
cause a lot of trouble.
Aid. Saul stated that the duty of
the Poundmaster was to see that no
cows or horses run at large and do
janitor work at the City Hall. Ald.
Wallis stated that he thought the.
cows, etc., would find their way home

Mayor
Recorder
152 Special Session, April 26, 1912
ent Board has gone deeply into the
matter of betterments and improve-
ments for the plant, and has not only
formulated plans, but has actually let
the contracts for a number of the
proposed changes. I have given the
matter of appointing a successor to
Dr. Alderson careful consideration,
and have arrived at the conclusion
that to make any change in the mem-
bership of the Board, particularly at
the present time with so many mat-
ters of great moment in their hands
and with which they alone are fami-
liar, would be a thoroughly unbusi-
nesslike procedure.
I therefore take great pleasure in
reporting to your honorable body that
I have reappointed Dr. J. Alderson
to membership on the Board of Water
1Vorks Trustees for a term or three
years from April 20th, 1912.
Yours very respectfully,
M. E. LYONS, -
Mayor.
Ald. Singrin moved that the ap-
pointment be approved. Carried.
