REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Mayor Schunk presented the follow-

Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 10th, 1909.
To the Honorable Council City of
Dubuque:
Gentlemen: I have had under con-
sideration the report of your Commit-
tee of the Whole recommending that
the west side of Couler Avenue from
22nd Street to 24th Street be im-
proved, and that the cost thereof be
taken from the Grading Fund, adopted
by your honorable body in regular ses-
sion September 2nd, 1909.
I am not at all disposed to hinder
or in any way delay this important
work, but the absolute fact that the
Grading Fund has been by actual ex-
penditure, contracts made, and work
ordered, practically exhausted, bars
the taking out of any portion of the
proposed expense out of said Fund,
even if the proposition were legal,
which it is not, it would be out of the
question to carry out your action.
I, therefore, return to you the Com-
mittee of the Whole report adopted by
your honorable body on September
2nd, 1909, and hereby veto the mo-
tion that carried adopting same.
Very Respectfully,
H. A. SCHUNK,
Mayor.

ficient to cover amount secured with
interest.

be done with the roof, which certain-
