Dwbuque, Iowa
Honorable Sirs;
In the March 11th edition of the
Telegraph-HeraPd, I note your No•
tice of Pendency of Resolution of
Necessity for Public Improvements
and hearing upon proposed plans
and specifications and cost of im•
provements for the construction of
concrete curb and gutter on Drexel
Avenue from the south property
line of ,Pennsylvania Avenue to the
north property line of Lennox Ave-
nue.
As I own Lots No. 399, 400, 401
and Lot 2 of 402 abutting Drexel
Avenue, I am deeply concerned in
this project.
At the present time the City of
Dubuque is using part of these
lots for ~a drainage ditch for Chaney
Road and the surrounding terri-
tory,
Therefore, I object to this im-
provement until such time as the
City can drain this water in some
other direction, or obtains an eas~e•
meat to cover said ditch so these
lots can be filled and made saleable
or useable.
T trust you can see this matter in
the same light as I do.
Yours truly,
Thos. S, Smith, Sr,
2960 Delhi Road, R.R. 2

It has been browght to my atten-
tion through inspection of estab-
lishments handling food, that meat
which has not been properly proc-
essed is being sold Eby some local
outlets.
Under present laws, meat that is
sold locally requires no inspection.
It is my opinion that all meat prod-
ucts sold within the City of Du-

federal inspector or by the city.

To the Honorable Mayor,
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: After evaluating bids
received on March 23,1955, for the
construction of gravel packed wells
or a horizontal collector, it is the
opinion of Mr, Hail, Water Depart-
ment Superintendent, that the con-
struction of gravel packed wells
are the most practical both from a
cost and operational standpoint.
Considering the addition of other
wells within the predictable future
of 25 years and evaluating their
cost, I concur with Mr, Hail. Addi-
tional wells can be constructed
in accordance with the needs
whereby horizontal collectors must
necessarily be constructed to de-
velop large capacities of water that
may not be needed for several
years.
I recommend that the Thorpe
Well Company of Des Moines be
awarded the contract for construe-
tion of four vertical gravel packed
wells as their bid was the lowest
and best bid received.
Respectfully submitted,

four (4) or six (6) vertical gravel-
. packed wells, each approximately
200 feet deep and having 100 feet
of stainless steel screen, with a
water-producing capacity of 2100
gallons a minute, complete with
concrete foundation slab for pump-
. house, bearing pile supports, and a
protective earthen embankment; an

of one (1) horizontal collector ap-
proximately 140 feet deep, utilizing

100 feet of stainless steel screen,
with a waterproducing capacity of
2100 gallons a minute, complete
with concrete foundation slab for
pump-house, bearing pile supports,
and a protective earthen embank-
ment shall be constructed;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved by
the City Council of the City of Du-
buque;

improvement be and the same are
hereby overruled and the same is
hereby ordered constructed.

With regard to the action enti-

Dubuque, ~in which the plaintiff
claimed damages from the City of
Dubuque in the amount of $3000.00,
for damages resulting from a fall
January 25, 1955 at the crosswalk
of the alley intersecting East Six-
teenth Street between Central Ave-
nue and Iowa Street; I have inves-
tigated the same and find that the
plaintiff did fall, as claimed, that
the crosswalk was in a hazardous
condition at the time, and that
plaintiff sustained a fractured loft
ankle and incurred substantial
medical and hospital expenses and
loss of wages.
I have discussed the same with
Mr. Connery, attorney for the plain-
tiff, and he has agreed to accept
$750,00 in full settlement of the
claim,
I recommend that this settlement
be approved and the City Auditor
instructed to issue a warrant in the
amount of $750,00 payable to De-
lores Clary and William T. Con-
nery, her attorney, and deliver the
same upon receipt of a properly
executed release and the dismissal
of plaintiff's faction, with ,prejudice
at plaintiff's costs,

The letter of Edmund M, 1'lein

4, 1955, requesting reconsideration
of their claim arising out of a sew-
er installed Eby them in the City
street and in which they ask allow-
once in the amount of $300, was re-
ferred to the City 11l~anager and
City Solicitor,
On investigation we find that al-
though the title to the sewer is in
the City from the time it was in-
stalled, through amisunderstand-
ing the maintenance was assumed
by the Pleins up until last year.
We also find that a small portion
of the property abutting the sewer
was City property and that an al-
T
Special Session, April 25th, 1955 217
lowance might be made in the na-
ture of a connection charge,
We therefore recommend that
the offer of settlement of Edmund
M, Plein and Dorothy L, Plein in
the amount of $300 be accepted as
full compensation for the mainte-
nance of the sewer during the peri-
od from its construction to 1954
and any connection charge, and for
any other rights that said parties
may claim in the premises,

To the Honorable Mayor

Gentlemen:
In the past years diversified
opinions have been heard sand con-
siderable ill feeling has developed
because of petitions submitted for
changes to the Laeal Business Dis-
tricts. Several petitions have been
denied, not because the proposed
use would be objectionable, but
because of the other provisions of
the Local Business District that
would be allowed if the change
were made, We have tried to sepa-
rate the use classifications to elimi-
nate the ones that have been the
cause for objection, Therefor, we
submit two local business districts,
one titled Local Business A and
the other Local Business B. This
would replace the present Local
Business District Classification, Al-
so we have separated the present
districts and recommended those
to be placed in the A and B and
those that have never been devel•
oped as business and should re-
vert to residential.
Accordingly we herewith submit
for your consideration and adop-
tion the three ordinances designed
to accomplish this.

Fenelon Place, Mr. Talbott is the
engineer in charge of your Com-
munity Television System.
We were delighted with your in-
teresting city especially because of
the cleanliness of your streets and
the county roads. On our way out
we drove through many towns and
Duibuque will stand out in our
memory as the cleanest, and for
that reason, the nicest of them all,
We feel that the Mayor of such
a town deserved a word of appre-
ciation, and across many miles we
say "Hats' off to the Mayor of Du-
buque." Let us assure you that our
tourist friends will be told about
your clean and friendly town,
More power to you,
Very truly,
