REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Dubuque, Iowa, May 31, 1910.
To the Honorable City Council of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa:
At the session of your honorable body
held on Monday, May 23rd, you refer-
red to me the matter of ascertaining
the intention of the Union Electric
Copmany in regard to the proposed ex-
tension of its lines on Asbury and West
Locust Streets and also the reason why
the light had, not been placed on
Pickett Street as authorized by - Ilia
previous Council. - Reporting thereon,
I would respectfully state that Man-
ager Mathis has informed me that the
company is now trying to raise the
money necessary to make the proposed
extensions and that business in their
line is so backward this spring they
are now borrowing money to meet their
ordinary operating expenses.
They will, if at all possible, make
one of the proposed extensions this year
but should this prove impossible, they
will be almost sure to make them both
next year.
In regard to the lamp for Pickett
Street, Mr. Gore, who is in charge of
the light department, informed me
that the delay was caused by the com-
pany's inability to get all the parts for
the lamp any sooner.
This lamp, however, is now in ser-
vice.
Very respectfully,
D. J. HAAS, Mayor.
On motion of Ald. McEvoy, that part
pertaining to the proposed extension
be referred to Committee of Whole and
that pertaining to lamp on Pickett
Street be received and filed.
