Mayor Schunk presented and read the following report: 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.
