REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Mayor Schenk presented and read
the following veto on the report of
the Committee of the Whole, grant-
ing the prayer of the Smedley Steam
Pump Co., accepting taxes on t he
same valuation for the years 1906 and
1907 as in former years:
Dubuque, la., Dec. 24th, 1909.
To the Honorable Council, City of
Dubuque:
Gentlemen: I have had under con-
sideration your adoption of the Com-
mittee of the Whole report, granting
the prayer of the petitioner„ the
Smedley Steam Pump Co., asking
that its taxes for the years 1906 and
1907 be accepted on a basis of $10,000
valuation instead of on the basis of
the Assessor's return, $21,280.00, for
those years.
I call your attention to the fact
that the Smedley Steam Pump Co. by
an agreement with former Councils
has already, prior to the years for
which reduction is now asked, en-
joyed the privilege of paying only on a
valuation of '$1 for five years.
and this agreement expired with the
tax of 1905. It is a well known fact
that these whole or partial canceIla-
tions of taxes are illegal, but, even
if it were •not true,. the 'company in
the over 50 per cent of canceled tax
valuation it has enjoyed for a period
!of five years, has been very fairly
!treated, and : should not be :granted
further favors along that line.
1, therefore, return you the 'report
'of the 'Cdtnmittee of the Whole'grant-
irtg the prayer of said petitioner,
adopted 'by your honorable body on
December 21, 1909, and hereby veto
, the inotion that 'passed, adopting
same. Respeotfully,
H. A. SCHIJNK,
'Mayor.

Present — Alds. Frith, Haas,
O'Rourke, Rancl, Saul and Singrin.
Absent—Ald. Martin.
Mayor Schunk stated that the
special session was called on request
of Alderman Frith and Singrin for the
purpose of taking up and considering
the snow conditions in the various
parts of the city.
Ald. Frith stated that in his opin-
ion the snow was not being removed
in as economical a manner as it
should be, that if the teamsters were
not supplied with sufficient help to fa-
cilitate the unloading of the snow, the
work should be discontinued.
Matter was tnen discussed by the
various members of the Council and
upon investigation it was found that
all teams being employed in hauling
snow were not employed by the City
and that all the City men and teams
were doing very efficient work and
were using the strictest of economy.
On motion Street Commissioner
was instructed to report to the Coun-
cil on Thursday evening an estimate
.of the cost of removing the snow from
the streets up to that time.
Ald. O'Rourke then moved that a
committee consisting of Alds: Saul and
Haas be appointed to confer with the
Union Electric Co. to see what can be
done with snow along the car tracks,
and if committee and Electric company
cannot reach a satisfactory agreement,
Union Electric Company to appear be-
fore the City Council at the session to
be held Thursday evening, January
20th, 1910. Carried.

portions of the city and to take some
action toward putting streets in pass-
able condition.

of getting as much work done on the

was discussed.
Ald. Frith then moved that the

structed to have the snow and ice

to be charged to the expense fund.

lect to do so the city will have it

Ald. O'Rourke moved that the Chief
of Police notify all property owners
personally and the City Recorder to
notify them by official publication in

snow or ice from the roofs of build-
ings onto streets or alleys must have
same removed at once or the city will
have snow and ice hauled away and
costs charged to the property own-
er. Carried.
Ald. Rand moved that the Chief of
the Fire Department be instructed to
have his department render as much
assistance as possible, by having snow
around different engine houses re-

gine houses open. Carried.

REPORT OF OFFICERS.
The annual report of the Trustees
of Carnegie -Stout Free Library was
presented and read, as follows:
Report of Trustees:
Dubuque, Ia., Dec. 31st., 1909.
To the Mayor and Council of the City
of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: In obedience to the re-
quir of the statutes of the
State, the Board of Trustees of the
Carnegie -Stout Free Public Library
herewith submit to your honorable
body their annual report for the year
1909.
They enclose therewith the annual
report for 1909 of the Librarian of
the Library, which you will find very
full and able, and giving you a most
intelligible and comprehensive pre-
sentation of the operations of the
library.
There still continues to be gratifying
evidence of interest on the part of the
people of the city in the attractions
and benefits which the library offers,
so that a very large fraction of the
people of the city, youth and adult,
are enrolled as library members, and
are partaking of its intellectual
stimulus.
The enrollment of members is now
12,474, an addition for the year of
881.
The total circulation for the year
amounted to 102,710. Of these 8388
volumes were circulated through the
branch libraries established in nine
public and parochial schools at the
desire and under the care of teachers
interested in the uplifting work.
The net number of volumes added
to the library in 1909 was 4,000, in-
cluding general works in the Allison
Memorial collection, making a total of
28,045. not including 12,000 govern-
ment publications.
In our report of last year mention
was made of Mrs. Jennie A. Bray -
ton's most generous gift of the library
of the late Senator Allison, but noting
the fact that the bods had not
yet been transferred to the publiz
library, and had, therefore, not been
counted in the last report. Early
'this year, however, the complete
Allison Library was transferred by
Mrs. Brayton, and duly arranged and
labeled, adding 2200 volumes of mis-
cellaneous literature and 1600 volumes
of government publication to our
collection.
Most of the miscellaneous publica-
tions were in handsome bindings and
sets, and much of the material was
rare and valuable, while the govern-
ment publications were bound in a
rich uniform style with the Senator's
name embossed thereon. 'For the
"Allison Memorial" thus established.
the Board feels a deep sense of grati-
tude to Mrs. Brayton.
Among the other notable gifts that
came to the library during the year
were those from Mrs. H. P. Ward, of
Washington, D. C., who, with her late
lamented husband, was for many years
among our early and respected
citizens. In memory of her husband,
Mrs. Ward presented to the library a •
set of a special edition of Curtis'
"North American Indians," one of the
most beautiful and valuable specimens
of typography ever issued by the press
of the country. This special edition
is being issued under the patronage of
J. Pierpont Morgan, and has been
. dedicated by Theodore Roosevelt over
his written signature. The edition,
when completed, will consist of 20
royal quarto volumes, profusely em-
bellished, and 20 portfolios of
photogravures of Indians and Indian
life which Mr. Curtis spent many
years in personally securing. This will
give to our Dubuque library an artistic
edition of this most valuable work
that but few libraries of the world will
be able to secure.
Supplementing this very valuable
gift, Mrs. Ward also presented to the
library a rich and artistic case for
housing and preserving it, and facilat-
ing its use by those who wish to in-
spect or study it.
In addition, Mrs. Ward has enriched
the Art Room of the library by three
costly and beautiful etchings by not-
able artists and of historical subjects,
each very handsomely framed.
The good and generous friends of
the library who last year made a cash
gift of $100 in order to enlarge the
list of magazines and periodicals, re-
peated her gift the present year, so
that this branch of our circulation has
continued very full and attractive.
The board also acknowledges with
gratitude other gifts from Judge Shims
for the embellishment of the library,
toward which he has clone so much at
his personal cost. His later gifts
have been 18 water color sketches of
California flora for the Art Room, and
a set of 24 portraits of presidents of
the United States for the Historical
Room.
The Educational Division of the
Woman's Club of Dubuque has again
laid us under a great sense of obliga-
tion for its annual gift to the chil-
dren's room, this year presenting a
handsome clock.
The walls and ceilings of the his- .
toricals and museum rooms, and the
oeilings of the Art Room have been

widow with three small children and
asking therefore, and for the addition-
al reason that she is in delicate

1908 and 1909. That the total amount
so assessed is $8.45, which assessment
is erroneous because said lot was con-

for the year 1909 be cancelled, would
