1954 June Council Proceedings360 Special Session, May 11th, 1954
Courts of Illinois, Alabama, ]itis-
souri, Kansas and New York have
universally held that the city has
no authority to authorize the use
of streets for advertising purposes
(excepting the signs displayed by
the occupants of the abutting prop-
erty) even though the revenue
from such signs might defray, in
whole or in part, the expense of
same municipal service, such as
waste disposal containers, traffic
signals or parking meters.
I also find that the City Attor-
neys of Columbus, Ohio and Mil-
waukee, Wisconsin, in considering
such an application as t}us have
both held these benches to came
under the prohibition of the above
cases.
I understand that in some Iowa
cities such benches are now in use
but, so far as I can learn, the le•
gality of the matter'has never been
considered in these cities.
The objection of the law goes to
the advertising and not the bencb-
es and you do have authority to au-
thonize placing benches at bus
stops.
In view of the above conclusions
I have not studied any other as-
pects of the proposed Ordinance.
Respectfully,
T. H. Nelaon

Nelson be referred to the City

June 1, 1954
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The City Council requested a
report on the reason and effect
of changing the method of billing
.by the Gas Company from a cubic
foot basis to a therm bases.
Under the present operation of
supplying manufactured gas there
is 560 B.T.U.'s in one cubic foot
of gas. A B.T.U. is the unit of meas•
urement of heat.
During the period that it is nec-
essary to convert all gas appliances
the Gas Company plans to use a
gas of 1,350 B.T.U. per cu. foot.
This gas is interchangeable with
natural gas and will permit the
conversion of equipment without
undue delay or shut downs.
Using the therm basis of billing,
conversion of the present meter
reading can be made easily from
cu. ft, to therm. When the higher
B.T.U. gas is used the rate will be
changed to correspond with the
change in B.T.U. content of the
gas. The customer will use a low-
er number of cu. ft. of gas at a
higher B.T.U. content and at the
same price per therm as be is now
paying.
The therm basis of billing will
be in effect until natural gas serv-
ice begins in the fall and then will
be repealed by a new rate ordi-
nance far natural gas.

June 4, 1954
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
With the inauguration of the
use of natural gas in Dubuque this
fall many heating units are being
converted or have application on
file for use of natural gas for
heating.
There is no City Ordinance reg-
ulating the installation require-
ments for Gas Fired Units and
Conversion Gas Burners.
In order that the installation of
this equipment will be properly
regulated and that uniform pro-
cedures are followed, an amend-
ment to the building code has been
drafted to change the provisions
relating to heating and ventilating.
These amendments include re-
quiring bonds of heating contrac-
tors, providing for permits and fees
and regulating installation of gas
burning equipment.
A meeting was held with repre•
sentatives of the Master Plumbers,
Heating & Ventilating Contractors
and Gas Co, to discuss a new Heat-
ing Ordinance for the City. Their
opinion was that some Ordinance
should be enacted so that uniform
regulation would prevail. The Ordi-
nance could be revised at a later
date after a more thorough study.
It later developed that the most
logical procedure would be to
amend our building code to in-
clude gas burning equipment and
for the time being leave out regu-
lation on other forms of heating
equipment which are now covered
in separate Ordinance.
I recommend that the City Coun-

Gentlemen:
Attached hereto is an applica-
tion to the Civil Defense Adnun-
istration for financial contribution
toward a warning system for Du-
buque.
This application is a result of
a visit by a representative of the
Civil Defense Administration re•
quested through the local Civil De-
fense Director. A survey was made
of the city to determine the num-
ber of sirens needed for proper
warning.
The application shows a total
Ji~gulas Session, Jwne 7th, 145:4 385
cost of $1,526.00 of which the city
would pay $5,263.00. If the council
approves the filing of this applica•
tion. tihe expenditure would be in-
cluded in the 1955 budget, how-
ever, the application must be ap-
proved lay the. Federal Civil De-
fense Administration by June 30,
1,964
Some of the Iowa cities in criti-
cal defense areas have already in-
stalled,. these warning systems and
others are now applying for funds.
This, warning system could be
available for use in any disaster
and it is my recommendation that
the request for financial assistance

1'o the Honorable City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
We should like respectfully to
register our protest against the
amount of the estimated assess-
ment against our property for the
proposed sewer south of Highway
20 on the Burkart Subdivision.
It seems to us that since our
property is only undeveloped acre-
age-your assessment is based
upon 140 feet, fifty feet of which
will eventually become a street,
and will need to be given to the
city anyway-does not warrant as
assessment such as this.
Our protest also has in mind that
in the event the subdivision is de-
veloped, the sewer will need to be
lald down the street into the divi-
sion anyway, It seems superfluous
to go sa far to connect with the
sewer in the Dubuque Homes Sub-
division,
Would the placement of the dis-
posal plant which is soon to come
to Dubuque have any bearing on
~.."~`-
this particular area? It seems to
us quite likely that it might.
Respectfully,
Geo, Jecklin
Addle Jecklin
City Manager SchIltz submitted
verbal recommendation that when
the final assessment is made that
an adjustment'be made for the pro-
posed 50 foot street. Councilman
Austin moved that the verbal rec•
ommendation of City Manager
Schiltz be approved. Seconded by
Councilman Welu. Carried by the
following vote:
Yeas -Mayor Schueller, Coun-
cilmen Austin, Kintzinger, Kolb,
Welu.
Nays-None.

June 24, 1954
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the
City of Dubuque
Gentlemen:
Two claims for damage to au-
tomobiles have been recently filed
with the City Clerk of the City of
Dubuque as the result of passing
over the Great Western tracks at
the intersection of 14th and Pine
Streets, This office has inspected
said area and deems it advisable
to call the matter to the attention
of your Honorable Body.
The claims filed have been de-
nied by this office for the reason
that the City of Dubuque was guil-
ty of no negligence in the mainte-
nance of the street to render it li-
able to the Claimants. The surface
of the street, as regards both the
uv
r r~ ,„ ar~r~c~, ~~*~ „,.H+h~i .~ . ~~, ~k. s i
easterly and westerly approaches,
is good. However, there is a very
sharp grade on each approach and
the approach from the easterly
side of the tracks going to the
west is very steep and automobiles
must be driven very slowly over
said approach, if passage is to be
done without damage. Since the
grade has not been changed for
apparently many years, a hazard-
ous situation is created with the
advent of lower slung automobiles
of the type in use today. It ap-
pears the only workable solution
of this problem would be to con-
sult the Groat Western Railroad
with the view of reducing the ele-
vation of the tracks at that point
to the grade of the street. Such
operation would, likewise, tend to
shorten the approaches to the pro-
posed overpass, when such over-
pass is constructed.
A copy of this communication
is being forwarded to the Great
Western for their consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. Czizek,
Assistant City Solicitor
Councilman Austin moved that
the recommendation of Assistant
City Solicitor Czizek be approved.
