The case of Anthony Becker being for the loss of services to him by Barbara Becker, his wife, plaintiff in the case entitled Barbara Becker vs. The City. in which plaintiff claims of the City of Dubuque the sum of 41,000.00 damages to him by reason of the loss of services of his wife from being confined to her bed through illness, and also for medi- cal attendance and nursing required by said Barbara Becker, his wife. as a result of the injuries received by her in falling on the sidewalk hereinabove referred to. The undersigned would respectfully report that they have arranged a set- tlement of both of these cases by the payment to the plaintiffs therein of $75.00 and the court costs: the total amount of court costs in both cases amounting to the sum of $20.75. As the undersigned are of the opin- ion that the city would incur more ex- pense than this amount in contesting said cases through trial, and deeming - it the best interests that they be set- tled, would therefore recommend that the settlement arranged by and agreed upon by this committee with the plain- tiffs in said cases be approved and that a warrant for that amount be drawn in favor of th6 Mayor with which to effect said settlement; said 1 1 32 Regular Session, February 7, I907 amount having been advanced by Treasurer to make the same.

He also stated the firemen objected to the noise made by the Governor's Greys while drilling, and he further stated that if local capi- tal could be interested in the project of building an auditorium for this city, the $500.00 rent which the state would pay for rent of armory would help to defray running expenses of said building.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque. Gentlemen: —I would respectfully call the attention of your honorable body to some of the needs of the Fire De- partment and urge upon you the ab- solute necessity for providing for the same. We need 2,500 feet of hose, to replace some that has been in use since 1891, and which is therefore liable to burst under pressure at any moment. We need a new truck; the present one we have had for about thirty years and use it at all hill fires -and in the resi- dence districts of the city. The men realize the great age of the truck and know that their lives are in danger every time they ride on it to a fire No. 2 Engine House should have a tower for drying the hose belonging to the company stationed there. At pres- ent they have to bring their hose to other houses to have the same dried out and this practice sometimes re- sults in confusion as to the ownership of the hose besides being very incon- venient. There are also two sets of new harness required; where the breaking of a strap or fastening is liable to result in a tragedy, no chances should be taken, and the harness that we desire to replace is so old that we can not tell just where the weakest point is, and where we consider it the strongest, might be just where it will break first; therefore repairs are use- less. Trusting that you will give these recommendations your favorable con- sideration, I am, Very respectfully, J. R. REINFRIED, Chief. On motion the report of the Fire Chief was referred to the Committee or. Fire. REPORTS OF STANDING COM- MITTEES. Ald.

Ald.

Whereupon he presented the follow- ing Your committee of the whole, deem- ing stringent measures taken at the present time to be the best preventa- tive of a further spread of smallpox, which, even in its present mild form, and with the small number of cases existing, has a tendency to kelp people away from the city, and believing that great harm may be done by unneces- sarily delaying the enforcement of the proper isolation of patients and their families, would respectfully recommend that the Board of Health be instructed to provide a strict quarantine for all places where the disease exists, by placing guards at such houses, and also that the City Physician see that all physicians pay strict attention to the quarantine regulations, and in case of failure on their part so to do, that measures be taken to compel the ob- servance of said regulations. Also, your committee of the whole would respectfully recommend that a contract be entered into for the pur- chase of fourteen voting machines, pro- vided that the Board of Supervisors will assume the payment of one -half the cost thereof, the other half to be paid by the city, and that a special committee composed of Alds. Hines,. McEvoy and Closs be appointed to con- fer with a. committee from the Board of Supervisors for the purpose of com- pleting arrangements for the purchase of said. machines. Also, your committee of the whole would respectfully recommend that the Mayor be instructed to compel the en- forcement of the ordinance relative to cleaning the sidewalks from snow and ice, and also the ordinance relative to obstructions on sidewalks. Also, your commit-tee of the whole would respectfully recommend that the iron bridge spanning the entrance to the slough on Seventh street be re- moved on the completion of the filling to grade of the street at that point.

Hines moved as an amendment, that the committee be given power to make expenditures necessary in pro- viding said committee room. Amend meat lost, original motion carried. Ald. Stumpf, chairman of the com- mittee on sewers, reported as follows: Your committee on sewers would re- spectfully state that at the session held February 7, 1907, Rev. Dr. Steffens ad- dressed the City Council in relation to a petition of the German Presbyterian Theological school, for an extension of the sewerage system to their new build- ing on Delhi street, which had been presented to the council on Novem- ber 1, 1906. The subject of Dr. Steffens' remarks was referred to this committee, because it was supposed that the original peti- tion was in our hands.. We find, on investigation, that the original petition was not referred to any committee, but was granted by the Council and the, proper resolutions ordered drawn. Owing to the fact that no route had been mentioned in said petition, nor outlined by the Council, it was impossi- ble to carry out the instructions given. However, we have taken the matter up and went over the grounds. We find that it is not feasible to con- nect with Dodge street sewer because the fall would be but two inches in one hundred feet. Such a scant fall would necessitate the use of flush tanks, which we do not deem the proper thing. Your committee then went over the grounds of the proposed sewer from St. Joseph's Mercy insane asylum to the end of the present sewer in West Lo- cust street, the plat and profile for which had been presented to the City Council on April 6, 1906, and we are of the opinion, gained from the statement of the City Engineer, that this is the most feasible route or a sewer to tap the district in which said German Pres- byterian school is located. We think the proper course for a sewer from said school would be from Delhi street by way of Algona avenue to West Fourteenth street, thence east to the alley between Auburn and At- lantic avenues, thence in said alley to Rosedale avenue, there to connect with the proposed sewer from the insane asylum. We have already instructed the Engineer to prepare an estimate of the cost of said improvement to each lot along the routes mentioned above, and would recommend that the entire mat- ter be now referred to the committee of the whole, with instructions to vigorously push all preliminary work in order that contracts may be let as early as possible. Also, your committee on sewers, to whom was referred the petition of Jacob Kessler et al, asking that they be refunded the amount paid by them under protest for the construction of n, sanitary sewer' in the alley between Jackson and Washington streets, and giving as a reason for said request that they were unable to connect with said sewer because the Bee Branch creek intervened between said sewer and their property, would respectfully re- port that we ascertained from the City Engineer, after he had run the levels •over the ground, that said creek as it is at pr or even after the storm sewer is constructed therein, would of- fer no hindrance to a connection with the sanitary sewer; we would there- fore recommend that said petition be received and filed. Also, your committee on sewers, to whom was referred the petition of M. Carney, stating that the sanitary sewer in Booth street was two feet higher than his basement, and therefore of no benefit to his property, for which rea- son he asks that the special assess- ment levied against him for the con- struction of said sewer be canceled, would respectfully report that the City Engineer, after running the levels over the ground in question, reports to this committee that the sewer is not lower than the basement and that connection can be made from the house to the sewer; we would therefore recommend that the said petition be received and filed. • Also, your committee on sewers, to whom was referred the notice of the City Treasurer to R. Flick in relation to the special assessment levied against the N. E. 1 -4 of lot 25, L. H. Lang - worthy's add., for the construction of a sanitary sewer in White street, would respectfully recommend that said notice be received and filed. . J. A. STUMPF, Chairman. Alci. Stumpf moved the adoption of the various reports of the committee on sewers. Carried. RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS. Ald. Closs, chairman of the Board -of Health, offered the following: Whereas, the Federal government of the United States has enacted a law requiring a rigid inspection of all meats entering into interstate commerce, and Whereas, the enforcement of that law brought to light the fact that vast amounts of diseased meats had been put onto the markets and were con- sumed by the people prior to the law's enforcement, and Whereas, it has come to be general comment that diseased meats, meats wholly unfit for food, are regularly dis- posed of on the public markets of Du- buque and at private sale to retail dealers in meats, and that there is absolutely no protection to the general Regular Session, February 21, 1907 39 - public against such imposition„ there- fore be it Resolved, That the ordinance com- mittee and the City Attorney be in- structed to prepare all ordinance or re- vise present ordinances in such a way chat the citizens of Dubuque may have protection against the unscrupulous dealer and have assurance that- meats offered for sale in the markets of Du- buque are as pure and wholesome as those that enter interstate commerce under Federal laws.

J. Linehan" being put completely out of service, necessitating the purchase of a new en- gine, we have been compelled to recom- mend to the council an increase in the appropriation for fire purposes to take care of those extraordinary expenditures, and would respectfully ask that the same be granted. Also, your Committee on Fire, to whom was referred the bill of L. Hartmann & Son for $339.10 for labor and material furnished in repairing the No. 1 Engine House, would respectfully recommend that a warrant in said amount be ordered drawn on the City Treasurer in settle- ment of the claim.

Mayor Schunk stated he had and was agreed on the additional one -half mill levy. Ald. Hopkins stated that the object in increasing the lighting fund $4,800.00 was in order to get an all night, every night schedule of street lighting in place of the Philadelphia Moonlight schedule which is now in force in Dubuque, and which is the cause of considerable dissatisfaction among the general public. Ald. Closs stated he seriously objected to the appropriations as made on the grounds that no provision was made for the extension of the Bee Branch Storm Sewer and asked that the appropriation set aside for the improvement of Windsor Avenue be applied to the extension of the Bee Branch Sewer. Whereupon Ald. Hop- kins explained that said amount would not be sufficient to extend said sewer far enough to be of any practical benefit. Ald. Close stated $3,000 would carry the Bee Branch Sewer a distance of about 200 feet. Resolution carried by following vote: Yeas —Aids. Clancy, Hines, Hopkins,. McEvoy and Stump. Nays —Ald. Closs.

Ald. Clancy moved the adoption of the resolution. Carried. Ald. Clancy, Chairman of the Commit- tee of the Whole, also reported as follows: Your Committee of the Whole would respectfully recommend the adoption of the following resolution: Whereas, The Trustees of the Dubuque Water Works have all tendered their res- ignations, and Whereas, No person seems to be acting at present in the capacity of Water Works Trustees, and Whereas, The water works plant cost the City of Dubuque over one -half mil- lion dollars to purchase, and Whereas, Such a plant is too valuable to be allowed to continue to be run in such a lax manner, therefore Resolved, By the City Council of the City of Dubuque, that the Mayor be, and he is, hereby directed to appoint a full board of trustees without further delay.
