Mayor and Members of the City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: On September 14, 1954, upon the occasion of the public sale of the Laurel Street property of this city, known as Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Mineral Lot 38, the sealed bid of William S. Sheppley for said prop- erty was submitted to you. This bid was one of two sealed bids submitted upon that occasion and after such sealed bids were opened it was announced that the property in question would be sold to one or the other of the two bid- ders submitting sealed bids. In the bid of Mr. Sheppley as submitted there is a typographical error. In that portion of the bid setting out the legal description o>; the property being bid upon, the word "and" was inadvertently used by the typist in place of the word "of", so that the description is Lot 1 and Lot 2 of Mineral Lot 38 in- stead of Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Mineral Lot 38. The Laurel Street property was the only property being sold. Mr. Sheppley's bid was clearly intend- ed to apply to that property, and was recognized by all present as a bid for such property. In order to make the matter even more clear, Mr. Sheppley has authorized me to correct the afore- said typographical error in the legal description of the Laurel Street property he bid upon. His Power of Attorney to me in this matter is attached hereto. In accordance with such power of attorney, I hereby correct the legal description in the bid of William S. Sheppley so as to read Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Mineral Lot 38 instead of Lot 1 and Lot 2 of Min- eral Lot 38. Harold F. Reynolds Councilman Kolb moved that the communication be received and made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Welu. Carried by the following vote: Yeas -Mayor Schueller, Coun- cilmen Austin, Kintzinger, Kolb, Welu. Nays-None. September 22, 1954 Hon. Mayor and Members of the City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: You have referred to this office the bid of William S. Sheppley, presented to the City Council Sep- tember 14, 1954, for my opinion on the legality of the bid. The property offered for sale as described in the notice to bidders, is Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Mineral Lot 38, subject to certain easements. The bid is for Lot 1 and Lot 2 of Mineral Lot 38, subject to certain easements, The description contained in the bid contains an area far larger than that described in the notice and includes property not owned by the City. It is therefore my opinion that the bid is not responsive to the call and not a valid bid. Respectfully submitted, T. H. NELSON Councilman Kintzinger moved that the opinion of City Solicitor Nelson be received and filed. Sec• owded by Councilman Kolb. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas -Mayor Schueller, Coun- cilmen Austin, Kintzinger, Kolb, Welu. Nays-None, 554 Regular Session, October 4th, 1954 October 4, 1959 Hon. Mayor and Members of the City Council, City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen, On September 22nd l submitted i my opinion regarding the bid of William L. Sheppley, in which I pointed out that the bid was im- proper since it described prop- ] erty other than that offered for i sale. Subsequently Mr. Sheppley has filed an attempted correction of his bid alleging that themisde- scriptlon was a clerical error and stating that his bid was intended to apply to the property offered. The general rule is that a bid may not be changed in substance after it has been presented but that mere irregularities in form may be corrected. In my opinion the attempted changes goes to the substance of the bid and not to correcting a mere irregularity in form. How• ever, even though the proposed change were permitted the bid as amended would, in my opinion, still be in violation of the spirit and intent of sealed bidding. It is therefore still my opinion that the bid of Mr. Sheppley should be rejected. Slncerelq, T. H. NELSON Councilman Kintzinger moved that the opinion of City Solicitor Nelson be received and filed. Sec- onded by Councilman Kolb. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas -Mayor Schueller, Coun- cilmen Austin, Kintzinger, Rolb, Welu. Nays--None.

Sheppley now offers a bid in the amount of $14,00(k00 for the purchase of Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Mineral Lot 38. Councilman Kint- zinger moved that the matter of the sale of Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Min- eral Lot 38 be concluded and that said property be sold to W. R. Gruwell, as the time for said sale was over. Seconded' by Council- man Welu. Councilman Austin stated that before a vote is taken that he would like to have an in- terpretation as to the statement made that no record has been ,made that the sale of Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Mineral Lot 38 has been closed.

H. Nelson, City Attorney City of Dubuque Dubuque, Iowa Dear Mr. Nelson: With reference to our meeting at Dubuque, Iowa, September 23, 1954, and previous correspondence, relative to crossing protection at 26, 27 and 28th Streets, in the City of Dubuque: We have made a thorough ex- amination and study of the above- mentionde street crossings, and in view of the small amount of vehic- ular traffic on these streets, we do not feel that the railway company should assume the exorbitant ex- pense that would be required to install automatic flasher light pro- tection at these crossings. As you know, 27th and 28th Streets are presently protected by automatic bells. We have recently cleaned up around all three cross- ings to improve the view of ap- proaching trains as much as pos- sible. Also, all train movements over these crossings are at a very slow rate of speed. The railway company is agree- able to installing new reflectorized crossing warning signs at 26th, 27th and 28th Streets at its ex- pense at locations designated by a representative of the City. If the City is agreeable to this proposal, will you please advise and we will promptly install the reflectorized crossing warning signs. If the City accepts this proposal, it is assumed that you will rescind the ordinance providing for automatic protection at these locations. Yours very truly, E. T. REIDY Councilman Austin moved that the communication be referred to the City Council and City Solicitor for study as to the acceptance of the offer submitted. Seconded by •r.,......

This study was made in coopera• lion with the industries in this area to see what could be done to relieve a traffic congestion in the street. Traffic counts show that four thousand vehicles use East 16th Street in a day, Vehicles are dou- ble parking and parking on streets that are too narrow to accommo- date two•way traffic with vehicles parked on each side. The following recommendations are made for your consideration, which we think will greatly reduce the traffic congestion in the above area. 1. That E. 16th Street be de- clared a thraagh Street, and that Schedule H of Ordinance 33-49 be amended by adding thereto the following: X. East 16th Street from Elm Street to the Easterly terminus thereof. 2. That Schedule VI of Ordi- nance 33.49 be amended by adding thereto the following: 58. On the both sides of Syca• more Street from East 16th Street to East 19th Street. 3.

September 28, 1954 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: Ordinance No. 10.53 is an ordi- nance regulating the keeping of dogs in the city and provides that all licensed dogs found at large during the period, April 1, to Octo• bar 30, and any unlicensed dogs wilt be subject to seizure and im- poundment by the City, During this past year concentrat- ed effort has been made to enforce this ordinance. It is my belief that if dogs are allowed to run at large as provided in the ordinance after October 30th, we will be faced with a problem of controlling dogs during the months to April 1st, and then it will be necessary to start strict enforcement again. It is my recommendation that the period which licensed dogs may run at large be eliminated. A revision has been prepared for this section of Ordinance 10.53. Respectfully submitted, L. J. SCHILTZ, City Manager. Councilman Welu moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Schiltz be approved. Seconded by Councilman Kintzinger.
