Dubuque, Ia., December 30, 1909.
To the Honorable Council of the City
of Dubuque:
Gentlemen: Your instructions in
the special session of Tuesday even-
ing last to investigate conditions in
the City Assessor's Office have been
complied with and I submit the fol-
lowing report covering the scope of
the investigation and its results.
To begin with, I furnished Deputy
Assessors Wiedner and Kenneally
with the following typewritten signed
notice:
"Pursuant to instructions from the
City, Council in special session Tues-
day evening, December 28, I hereby
ask you to give me your reasons why
you are not helping the City Assessor
finish the tax books for the year
1909."
'I was also instructed to notify you
that the tax hooks must be completed
on time."
"The motion also included instruc-
tions to me to report results of these
requests to the City Council at the
next session; hence you will kindly
•
make answer soon."
Both Deputies, responded promptly
and frankly stated their" grievance,
which was in substance that they
had been subjected to an unfair divi-
sion of the work in the office the en-
tire year. That because of the
Assessor's absence from the city and
other causes, the bulk of the work in
the office had been imposed on them.
They declared that they had repeat-
edly called his attention to the fact
that he was not attending to his
duties but without result. They also
stated that by working hard they had
brought up to date work during the
summer on incomplete assessment re-
turns. Deputies Wiedner and Ken -
neally assert that they were obliged
to make up the entire assessment
books, two in number, from which
the tax lists are made out.
During the present month Deputy
Kenneally said he worked at the
Court House checking up real estate -
transfers for the current year and
making a new lot book indicating the
changes in property holdings. This
book he reports as finally completed
on Tuesday, December 28. Both
Deputies allege that they have done
all the work properly within their
line of duty, and more too. They
both declare that they will now, dur-
ing the regular office hours, work on
any book or books, or on anything
within their line of duties, but will
not work after hours to complete tax
list No. 1, A to L inclusive, because it
is not a part of their duty and claim-
ing to be in no way to blame for the
delay in completing it.
Deputy Wiedner on Wednesday af-
ternoon completed Volume 2 of the
Tax List of 1909, M to Z inclusive,
and the same is in the hands of the
City Treasurer.
Both Deputies have asked to per-
sonally appear before your Honorable
Body and make a statement of the
reasons for their positions in the -
controversy,—a request that I know
you will gladly grant.
Respectfully,
H. A. SCHUNK,
Mayor.
On motion of Ald. Haas the rules
were suspended to. allow the Assessor
and his Deputies to address the
Council.
Deputies Wiedner and Kenneally
then addressed the Council, claiming
they had worked hard all the time
and finished what they deemed their
part of the work, and more too, and
are willing to work more to help out
the situation, but did not deem it just
or fair to ask them to work overtime
unless allowed additional pay.
Assessor Kelly also claimed to have -
worked hard to complete the other
Tax Book, claiming whatever time he,
lost he had made up on overtime, that
with the assistance of his two De-
puties he would try to complete the
book on time, providing' they all
worked overtime.
Ald. Rand moved that Deputies
RTiedner and Kenneally be allowed
$25.00 additional pay each to help
Air. Kelly complete the book on time,
and the report of the Mayor be re-
ceived and filed. Carried.
The petition of the following retail

cil adopt renewal resolutions for con-
