Mayor Schunk presented the follow- ing veto on the report of the Com- mittee of the Whole ordering the taxes of the Dubuque Bridge company can- celled: Dubuque, Ia., March 5, 1908. To the City Council of the City of Dubuque: Gentlemen —I herewith submit the report of the committee of the whole adopted by motion at the last regular session of the city council, granting the prayer of the petitioner, the Du- buque Bridge company, ordering the cancellation of the tax levied against its bridge property for the years 1905 and 1906. The Dubuque Bridge company has enjoyed an exemption from taxation for nineteen years and unless check- ed the imposition 011 the public will continue indefinitely. The plea of an illegal contract illegally foisted on a patient public has its limitations. The company should pay its share of public taxation the same as any other corporation. The contract that they refer to was originally granted the Dubuque and Dunleith Pontoon Bridge company, and as far as the exemption from tax- ation it grants is concerned, was from its inception and is now absolutely illegal and void. I attach the opinion of City Attorney Kintzinger which establishes conclusively the illegality of that part of the contract. I herewith return to you the peti- tion of the Dubuque Bridge company endorsed by the favorable report of the committee of the whole and on motion adopted by the city council, and hereby veto the motion that car- ried adopting the same. Respectfully, H. A. SCHUNK, Mayor of the City of Dubuque. RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS. Ald.
