Gentlemen: Referring to the mat- ter of the right of the City of Du- buque to require the Chicago Great Western Railway Company to change the location of its tracks in Elm Street, between 25th and 27th Streets,' to conform with your direction as to the proper location of said tracks, I beg to report that, in my opinion, the City has the authority, in the exer- cise of a reasonable discretion, and in furtherance of its purpose, to pro- vide for the greater convenience and safety of the public in the use of the said street, to order the said railway company, under such reasonable reg- ulations as may be deemed necessary, to remove and re- locate its said tracks at the place named. The control over and regulation of streets is vested in the City by legis- lative authority, as expressed in the charter, and in Code, Sec. 767. The supreme court of this state, in a lengthy opinion in the case of Snouf- fer vs. Cedar Rapids & Marion City Railway Company, (118 Iowa, page 287,) holds expressly that "any authority to use the streets granted to railway companies must be con- strued as being subject to the police power of the city over the streets, whatever may be the language of the grant." Respectfully, GEO. T. LYONS, City Attorney. Ald. Specht moved the report be received and approved. Carried. City Engineer Baumgartner re- ported as follows: To the Honorable Mayor and City Council: Gentlemen: I have investigated the grade of the railroad tracks cross- ing Fourth Street. The B. M. which I used is B. M. on the water table of the building at the northeast corner of Clay and Sixth Streets, ele- vation 30.200. This is one of the City Standard B. M. I find that the eleva- tion of the tracks is as follows: C., M. & St. P. tracks, south curb line of Fourth Street, ele. 19.40 and ele. 19.36, north curb line ele, 19.35 and 19.38; I. C. R. R. tracks, south curb line of Fourth Street ele. 19.30, 18.96, 18.99, north curb line, 19.39, 19.04, 18.87; C. B., & Q. tracks, south curb line ele. 19.03, 18.92, north curb line, 18.96, 18.92. The curb at the Page House is elevation 19.LO. The only record, showing a grade, that can be found is an ancient grade which shows that the grade of this street intersection at the tracks is elevation 16.30. Respectfully submitted, C. H.
