December 28th, 1950
To the honorable Mayor and
City Council of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
I have examined the Abstract of
Title to WASHINGTON SQUARE
in the City of Dubuque, Dubuque
County Iowa, as prepared by
Abeln Asbstract Co., abstracters'
certificate dated December 15,
1950 at 9 A. M. and find, in my
opinion, the title thereto as shown
by the abstract to be in DUBUQUE
COUNTY, IOWA, subject to the
perpetual right in the public to
use the same for any public pur-
pose and subject to the following
observations:
1. The governing body of the
City of Dubuque, as trustee for the
public, has the right and duty to
prescribe rules and regulations for
the exercise of this' use and has
the duty to defend this right in
the public against any infringe-
ments.The duty to prescribe rules
and regulations carries with it
the right to define the purpose
for which the property shall be
used so long as the purpose is a
public purpose.
The right to use this property
perpetually For a public purpose
is not invested in the citizens of
Dubuque or of any particular lo-
cality but in the public in general.
By "public purpose" is meant any
purpose which would support an
action in eminent domain. At pre-
sent the governing body has by
ordinance established regulations
restricting the use of this property
to that of a park. In my opinion
the City Council may, by ordi-
nance, change this use to any othei
use which will serve a public pur-
pose.
2. This right in the public was
created by the Act of Congress
~ehich laid out the original tawn-
site of Dubuque, showed this pro-
perty as a "Public Square" and
provided the same should remain
in the public forever. This had the
effect of giving the public an ease-
ment in the property while reserv-
ing the title to the United States.
The easement could not be re-
voked by law since it was con-
tractual. Consequently, in 1876
when Congress relinquished to Du-
buque County whatever right the
United States might have in the
property it could give no more
than it had and the title taken by
the County was still subject to the
rights of the public as herein-be-
fore set out. Consequently the
County may not devote this pro-
perty to any purpose unless the
consent of the governing body of
the City is first obtained,
Respectfully submitted,
T. H: NELSON, City Solicitor.
Councilman Kolb moved that the
opinion of City Solicitor Nelson
be approved and made a matter
of record. Seconded by Council-
man Austin. Carried by the fol-
lowing vote:

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
In preparing the final assess-
ment for the improvement o f
Edith Street, an error was made
in recording the amount of the
assessment against lots 92 and 93
of O'Neill's Riverview Addition.
The amount recorded against
these lots was $108.60 each and
should have been $90.57 each, a
difference of $18.03 each or a
total of $36.06.
I recommend that the owner of
the property be permitted to satis-
fy the assessment against the two
lots upon the payment of $181.14
and that the City, from its im-
provement fund, pay the deficien-
cy equal to $36.06.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. Rhomberg,
City Manager.
Mayor Welu moved that the
recommendation of City Manager
Rhomberg be approved and the
City Treasurer be instructed ac-
cordingly. Seconded by Council-
nu+n Austin. Carried by the follow-

The objections of Leonard F.
and Frances E. Smith to the

were referred to the Council to
view the grounds in company
with J. J. Kintzinger, attorney for
the objectors.
At the conference it was de-
cided by the council that the
assessments be reduced to 1.4 of
the valuation of the property as
follows:

I recommend that the decision
of the Council be confirmed, that
the levy of the assessment for
the improvement of English Lane
be made with the above revision
znd that a warrant be ordered
drawn on the Consolidated Fund
in the amount of $450.07 to pro-
vide for the deficiency.
The objectors further call the
attention of the Council to the
drainage affecting the above lots.
After examining the lots it was
decided to have a survey made
of the drainage problem with sug-
gestions for its solution. I recom-
mend that such survey be made.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The plans and specifications for
the proposed storm sewers are at
the stage were they can be readily
put in farm for a letting. On the
question of financing it appears
that the levy for the retirement of
sewer bonds is an additional levy
not presently made by the city.
For the purpose of expediting
the matter, I recommend that the
Council select a tentative date,
such as March 5th, for a letting on
both the sewer construction work
and the sale of bonds. It is my be-
lief that such a date as a target
can be realized,
Very truly yours,
A. A. Rhomberg,
City Manager.

and City Council,

Gentlemen:
With reference to the petition of
the Independent School District of
Dubuque dated August 30, 1950
requesting the vacation of certain
streets and alleys on the Senior
High school campus, the Planning
& Zoning Commission respectful-
ly recommends to your Honorable
Body the vacation of the following
described streets and alleys and
conveyance of the ground to the
abutting property owners;
(1) Alumni Place from the
southerly property line of West
Locust Street to the northerly line
of South View Terrace.
(2) Southview Terrace from the
westerly property line of Alumni
Place to the Westerly property
line of Vincent street.
(3) Francisco Street from the
easterly property line of Alumni
Place to the westerly property line
of Vincent street.
(4) The Alley between West Lo-
cust Street and Francisco Street
from the easterly property line of
Alumni Place to the westerly pro-
perty line of Vincent Street.
(5) The Alley between Francisco
Street and Southview Terrace from
the easterly property line of Alum-
ni place to the westerly property
line of Vincent Street.
(6) The Alley first northerly of
Rosedale Avenue and abutting lots
one to fifteen inclusive of Rose-
dale addition.
(7) The unnamed Street from the
northerly property line of Rosedale
Avenue to the southerly line of
the Alley first northerly of Rose-
dale Avenue and between Lot s
thirteen and fourteen of Rosedale
Addition.
These streets and alleys have
never been opened up and there
is very little likelihood of their
ever being needed for street pur-
poses, therefore the Planning &
Zoning Commission sees no objec-
tion to the request of the School
board,

Members of the City Council

Gentlemen:
In the five year improvement
program of the Water Works Sys-
tem there is included a proposal
for a new high lift dual driven
pumping unit at Eagle Point Sta-
tion. This unit is to be capable of
supplying the intermediate system
now being constructed as well as
the existing law pressure service.
Further study indicates that such
a pump should hve a capacity of
approximately 3'~ million gallons
per day which is 2400 gallons per
minute. Since this proposal is a
necessary part of the project pre-
sently under way, consideration
should be given to it at this time.

dure for the acquisition of the
pumping unit outlined herein.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
On December 23, 1950 Josepr
J. Roscamp made application for
Class "B" Beer Permit at a loca-
tion stated as 1405 Dodge Street,
The building at this address is oc-
cupied as a grocery store and in a
zoning classificatin as a non~on-
forming use, being occupied as a
grocery store at the time the zon-
ing ordinance was passed in 1934.
The present zoning is two-family
residence district and the opera-
tion of a Class "B" Permit in this
building would be in violation of
the zoning ordinance and a certifi-
cate for this type of operation
could not be granted.
Paragraph 505 of Ordinance No.
9-35, an ordinance pertaining to
the issuance of Beer Licenses, de-
finitely requires the location of a
Class "B" Beer Permit be in a busi-
ness zone,
Therefore, in view of the above,
I recommend that a permit for
Class "B" Beer Permit at the above
address be denied.
Respectfully submitted,
Donald J. Bandy,
Building Commissioner.
Councilman Austin moved that
the rcommendation of B u i l d i n g

Seconded by Councilman Russo.

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque; Iowa.
Gentlemen:
This is to advise that I am not
a candidate for re-appointment as
City Manager for the fiscal year
beginning April 1, 1951. It is pro-
per that such intention be made
known at this time.
By way of appreciation of the
many favors and courtesies receiv-
ed during my tenure of office,
I know of no better manner of ex-
pression than to expedite the un-
finished business at hand and to
implement those projects now in
their inception. This I am doing
and will during the remaining time
continue to the best interest of the
city.
Respectfully submitted,
A. A. Rhomberg,
City Manager.
Councilman Russo moved that
the communication of City Mana-
ger Rhomberg be referred to the
City Council for consideration. Sec-
onded by Councilman Kolb. Car-

Regular Session, January 2nd, 1951 23
December 28th, 1950
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council of the City
of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
I have examined the Abstract of
Title to Washington Square irr the
City of Dubuque, Dubuque County,
Iowa, as prepared by Ablen Ab-
stract Co., abstractors' certificate
dated December 15, 1950 at 9 a. m.
and find, in my opinion the title
thereto as shown by the abstract
to be in Dubuque County, Iowa,
subject to the perpetual right in
the public to use the same for any
public purpose and subject to the
following observations:
1. The governing body of the
City of Dubuque, as trustee for the
public, has the right and duty to
prescribe rules and regulations for
the exercise of this use an has the
duty to defend this right in
the public against any infringe-
ments, the duty to prescribe rules
and regulations carries with it
the right to define the purpose for
which the property shall be used
so long as the purpose is a public
purpose.
The right to use this property
perpetually for a public purpose is
not vested in the citizens of Du-
buque or of any particular locality
but in the public in general. By
"public purpose" is meant any pur-
pose which would support an ac-
tion in eminent domain. At pre-
sent the governing body has by
ordinance established regulations
restricting the use of this property
to that of a park. In my opinion
the City Council may, by ordinance,
change this use to any other use
which will serve a public purpose.
2. This right in the public was
created by the Act of Congress
which laid out the original town-
site of Dubuque, showed this pro-
perty as a "Public Square" and
provided the same should remain
in the public forever. This had the
effect of giving the public an ease-
ment in the property while reserv-
ing the title to the United States.
The easement could not be re-
voked by law since it was con-
tractual. Consequently, in 1876
when Congress relinquinshed to
Dubuque County whatever right
the United States might have in
the property it could give no more
than it had and the title taken
by the County was still subject to
the rights of the public as herein-
before set out. Consequently the
County may not devote this pro-
perty to any purpose unless the
consent of the governing body of
the City is first obtained.
Respectfully Submitted,
T. H. Nelson,
City Solicitor,
Councilman Russo moved that
the opinion of City Solicitor Nel-
son be referred to the Park Board
with the desire of the Council ex-
pressed for to utilize Washington
Park for a parking lot and that
the Park Board be requested to
communicate with the City Coun-
cil, at their convenience as to their
disposition in this matter. Second-
ed by Councilman Austin. Carried

That the petition of the Dubuque
Safety Council asking the Council
to cause an investigation and study
made of traffic conditions o n

it as a short cut to West Dubuque,
~ be referred to the Chief of Po-
~ lice for recommendation and re-
port.

are very familiar to the under-
' signed. Algona street is carrying
a much larger load of vehicular
traffic than the side streets, and
particularily so since the develop•
ment in and around St. Josephs

Jan. 8, 1951
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Dubuque
Gentlemen:
The claim of Michael Setticasi
has been referred to this office
for investigation and report. On
the evening of December 7, 1950
Mr. Setticasi was driving west on
Univeristy when one wheel of his
car dropped into an open manhole
in the street near Alpine. Con-
siderable damage was done to the
axle and wheel and he has agreed
to accept $42.24 in full settlement
of his damages.
Upon investigation it appears
that the cover on this manhole
has been the source of considerable
difficulty to the Street Department
as it is easily knocked off when
snow or other foreign matter lod-
ges under the rim. It has since
been replaced with a more secure
type.
Mr. Setticasi's father Barney
Setticasi is the owner of the car
and I recommend that this claim
be allowed in the amount of
$42.24 and that a warrant be
issued payable to Michael Setti-
Iasi and Barney Setticase in that
amount and delivered upon receipt
of their properly executed release.
Respectfully
T. H. Nelson
City Solicitor
Councilman Russo moved that
the recommendation of City Soli-
citor Nelson be approved and the
City Auditor instructed to draw
a warrant in the amount of $42.24
in favor of Michael Setticasi and
Barney Setticasi, as settlement in
full of the claim, and that said
warrant be delivered upon receipt
by the City of Dubuque of a prop-
. erly executed release. Seconded by
Councilman Kolb. Carried by the

January 10, 1951
Honorable Mayor and
City Council of the
City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen:
The communication of the League
of Women Voters dated Septem-
ber 9th, 1950 and requesting com•
nilation of the City Ordinances has
been referred to this office for
recommendation and report.
After investigation of the matter
and discussing the same with re-
presentatives of the City Adminis-
trative offices, the Dubuque Coun-
ty Bar Association and the League
of. Women Voters I feel that a
compilation of all the current Or-
dinances into one volume is de•
sirable. In their present form any
of the Ordinances is really avail-
able but since they are in dif
ferent volumes it is some times
difficult to corelate the various
amendments.
While this office does not seek
additional work, the experience of
ether municipalities indicates that
the compilation of the Ordinances
should be done under the super-
vision of the City Solicitor. Since
a great part of the work is clerical
it will be necessary for me to
employ stenographic assistance to
do this work. It is therfore re-
commended that the budget and
appropriations for the fiscal year
1951-2 include an item of three
thousand dollars for the City Soli-
citor's office to defray the cost of
clerical assistance, and equipment
and supplies necessary to the com-
pilation of the City Ordinances.
It has also become apparent that
when this compilation is completed
it will reveal a necessity for a
revision of many of the current Or-
dinances to conform them to mod-
ern conditions. At the proper time
it is recommended that the Council
resolve itself into a committee on
the whole to study such specific
recommendations for revision as
may be made by this office as
the work progresss.
The above estimate of three
thousand dollars does not include
the cost of printing. No estimate
of the printing costs can be had

Gentlemen:
At the meeting of the Play-

subject of better ways and means
of providing for the leisure time
of our citizens. At the conclusion
of this discussion the following
motion was unanimously adopted:
"That a letter be sent to the
City Council suggesting that the
Playground and Recreation Com-
mission and the Park Board be
consolidated in order to more ef-
fectively carry out the Park and
Recreation programs to the end
that the public needs and desires
be better served."
It is realized that certain legal
aspects of this proposal will re-
quire study and other practical
and budgetary considerations must
be taken into account. your
Honorable Body is respectfully pe-
titioned to give this matter your
attention since it is the feeling
of the Recreation Commission that
it will be in the best interests

a) This plan, as shown in the
attached sketch, could be a rec-
tangular pattern bounded by 4th
street on the south, 12th street on
the north, Locust Street on the
west, and Central Avenue on the
east, on which one-way traffic only
is permitted.
b) With this rectangular pattern
the south bound traffic would be
limited to one-way travel from a
point starting at the corner of
Central and 12th Street. This
south bound traffic would move
west on 12th, turning the corner
at 12th and Locust and continuing
on Locust to a point where two-
way traffic would again be permit-
ted at 4th and Locust. Likewise,
north bound traffic would be divid-
ed into one-way travel at the cor-
ner of 4th grid Locust and be com-
pelled to travel east on 4th to
Central Avenue and, at that point,
to travel straight north on Central
to the corner of 12th and Central
where twaway traffic would be
continued.
c) All other streets and avenues
within or entering into this rec-

tangle would not be changed. In
other words, two-way traffic would
be permitted.
d) Equipment required would be
limited to a stop light at the cor-
ner of 12th and Locust as the other
three corners of this retangle have
already been furnished with same.
Signs indicating one-way travel
would have to be provided for all
intersections coming into or going
out of the rectangle as prescribed.
v;e will be glad to comply. Also,
should this plan be adopted it is
the opinion of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce that we would help
publicize and administer this plan
should you require our assistance.
Respectively submitted and hop-
ing for an early reply, I remain
Sincerely yours

Advantages:
a) Would permit a speedy en-
trance or exit for all local travel
taming into or going out of the
Fusiness district.
b) Would provide excellent tra-.
vel for transient or tourist cars go_
ing north or south on routes 151,
52, or 61.
c) Would relieve traffic during
congested hours because with one-
way travel three lines of moving
cars is possible.
d) The parking space as now pro-
vided will not be interrupted far
parking on both sides of the street
is still in order, However, both
lines of parked cars would be fac-
ing the same direction.
e) The waiting tme for cars try-
ing to enter or cross Locust Street
or Central Avenue would be elr~
urinated with one-way travel.
One only waits for the traffic from
his right to pass before crossing
these main streets or can enter
travel on either of these main
streets by merely making a left
turn and proceeding with the line
of cars already in motion.
This one-way scheme, as we all
know, is not new for it is used
in our surrounding towns such as
Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, M o l i n e,
Rockford, and larger towns which
adopted it first.
Geographically, Dubuque needs
this type travel more than any city
for being bounded on the east
by industry, and on the west by a
bluff, the through traffic is limited
to a few streets, The Dubuque
Junior Chamber of Commerce aslc
that you discuss this situation thor
oughly and should you need infor-
mation regarding any part of it

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
The Dubuque Safety Council ap-
preciates the trust you have put in
it. We have tried to fulfill this
trust to the best of our ability.
The Executive Board of the
Safety Council, 19 members, met
at noon on January 11th, 1951 and
gave full consideration to the pro-
posals put before the City Coun-
cil and referred to us. All mem-
bers agreed unanimously that the
City Council is beng put in a bad
position by the citizens of Dubuque
who have proposals to present.
Many times these proposals are
controversial in nature and it is
impossible to properly weigh and
consider these matters in council
assembled. The members of the
Safety Council also felt that mush
valuable time of the City Council
is being spent listening to these
proposals. We feel that the inter-
ests of Dubuque as a whole would
be best served by the appointment
of a traffic commission to hold
hearings, bring forth recommenda-
tions to ways and means of im-
proving traffic conditions and the
administration of an enforcement
of traffic regulations. The Execu-
tive Board of the Dubuque Safety
Council also felt that it would be
for the best interests of the city
if your honorable body established,
by ordinance a traffic division
t within the police department and
d also determined definitely the traf-
n fic engineering responsibilities for
g the city.
Therefore we wish to place the
- following recommendations before
you for your consideration:
1. That the City Council adopt
ended Administrative
Communication of The United
States Conference of Mayors sub-
mitting acopy of Federal Control
Order an Construction, presented
and read.
Councilman Russo moved that

and filed, Seconded by Councilman
Austin. Carried by the following
vote:

men Austin, Kolb, Russo, Schuel-
ler.
Nays-None.
the recomm
section of the Model Traffic Ordi-
nance as recommended by all
groups interested in traffic and
traffic safety. We recommend that
this section be adapted as much
as possible.
2. The Executive Board of the
Dubuque Safety Council also rec-
ommend to your honorable body
that no angle parking be allowed
on any of the streets of this city
which are under fifty (50)' feet in
width from curb to curb. We feel

this is necessary because of the s
hazards involved when vehicles
leave their parking places and that r
congestion of traffic would result t
by the parking of vehicles or vehi-
cles leaving their parking places.
3, The Executive Board of the
Dubuque Safety Council also feel
that the recommendation made in
a recent survey be followed. That,
at the present time, there is no
particular need for one way streets
in Dubuque. We believe that we
would be imposing on the Iowa
Highway Commission if we re-
quested another change in our
highways through the city so soon
after a previous request had been
granted. The City's standing with
this Commission is now excellent
and we would not like to see this
relationship jeopardized.
4. The Executive Board of the
Duuque Safety Council also feels
that much of our problem in re-
gard to congestion in the business
district would be relieved if suffi-
cient off street parking would be
made available. We believe .that
much of our congeston in our
downtown areas is due to drivers
looking for parking places, and we
wish to commend the City Coun-
cil for the efforts they are making
to relieve this situation and we
hope they will continue with their
efforts. Hoping that this meets
with your approval,
I remain,
Yours in Safety,
H. C. Holloway,
President, Dubuque
Safety Council.

January 18, 1951
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council
City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
For the past several years the
Water Department has accumulated
and studied all the available infor-
mation on the subject of introduc•
ing fluoride in the public w a t e r
supply. It is our belief that this
matter should now be brought to
the attention of the City Council
because of experiments and ex-
periences that have been devel-
oped in other places.
It is well established that na-
tural fluoride in drinking water in
amounts of 1.0 to 1.2 ppm. pre-
serves the enamel of the teeth and
helps prevent tooth decay. A flux
rive content over 2.0 ppm. w i 11
cause mottled enamel of the teeth
if regularly used by children be-
low the age of eight years.
Newburgh, N. Y., Grand Rapids,
Mich. and Evanston, Rl. for the
purpose of determining scienti•
fically the facts concerning the ar•
tificial fluoridation of the public
water supply in 1945, decided to
feed artificial fluroine into their
water systems. Preliminary dental
findings indicates in general a con-
sistent downward trend in the de-
cayed, missing and filled rates.
However, as indicated in recent Di-
vision of Public Health reports of
the State Department of H e a l t h
of Iowa, final conclusions will not
be available until the study is com-
pleted in about 1955. It is to be
noted that a number of states have
approved and recommended such
treatment. Lz Wisconsin alone, over
30 communities use it.
The following general policy was
adopted however, by our State De-
partment of Health as of July 10,
1950. "After careful consideration
of the practicability of adding Flu-
orine to a public water supply, and
if there is sufficient local demand
as evidenced by approval of the
local health authorities, the local
dental and medical professions
46 Special Session, January 22, 1951
and the local water works officials,
the State Department of Health
will assist in setting up the neces-
sary control measures to assure
that the concentration of fluoride
ions in the finished water is with-
in the recommended limits at all
times".
The State Hygienic Laboratory
with the assistance of their District
Health engineers have taken sam-
ples throughout the state to deter-
mine fluoride content in public
water supplies. Dubuque has an
average of about .3 ppm: or about
L5 or 30 per cent of the desired
amount which is 1,0 to 1.2 ppm,
It must be recognized that no
two fluoridation problems are
alike. Facts and figures must be
compiled to determine which of
the several ways is most suitable
for your needs. The experience of
the past five years in the practical
uppliction in other communities
must be studied to determine what
can and cannot be accomplished.
The added chemical will not cure
all tooth decay but it is only re-
commended and hoped fora 60
percent decrease in tooth decay,
75 percent lower lass of the first
permanent molars and a 90 per-
cent reduction ir- tooth surface
caries in the upper anterior teeth.
It is our recommendation that
the attention of the Council be di-
rected to the benefits resulting
from the introduction of fluoride
in our public water supply and
that to assist in arriving at a de-
termination of the matter, that the
advice, counsel and recommenda-
tion of the Dubuque Dental and
Medical Societies and the Depart-
ment of Health be solicited.
This department has made pre•
liminary studies as to the type of
treatment, the initial cost of equip-
ment, the construction of suitable
chemical storage room, operating
room for the feeding equipment
and the amount of annual operat-
ing and maintenance cost. The add-
ing of fluoride to water has been
one of the most discussed topics at
all water works association meet-
ings in recent years, It is the de-
sire of this department to cooper-
ate fully with all interested in this
new endeavor and opportunity has
been here taken to inform the
Council of a potential benefit to
the community.

of the City of Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
The objections of Mrs, J. M.
Walker and others to the establish-
ment of a parking lot on the north-
west corner of Fifth and B l u f f
Streets was referred to this office
for recommendation and r e p o r t.
These objections are based in part
of the proposition that such action
would be in violation of the Zoning
Ordinance and would constitute a
nuisance.
I have examined the Zoning Or-
dinance and the Statues govern-
ing the same and it is my opinion
that municipally owned lands and
structures may be devoted to any
proper municipal purpose which
the public convenience and neces•
sity require without conflicting
with the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance.
It is further my opinion that since
off~treet parking facilities are au-
thorized by Statute they cannot
constitute a nuisance per se though
they may become a nuisance if im-
properly operated.
Respectfully submitted,
T. H. Nelson,
City Solicitor.

January 17,1951
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
When you referred the petition
of Mrs. J. M. Walker and others
to the Planning & Zoning Commis-
sion on January 10, 1951, said
Planning & Zoning Commission as-
sumes that you are seeking the for-
mal report and recommendation of
the Commission as provided in Sec-
tion 373.10-1950 Code of Iowa,
which states:
"Recommendations as to
Improvements
No statuary, memorial or work
of art in a public place, and
no public building, bridge, via-
duct, street fixture, public struc-
ture or appurtenance, shall be lo-
cated or erected or site thereof
obtained, nor shall any permit be
issued by any department of the
municipal government for the erec-
tion or location thereof, until and
unless the design and proposed
location of any such improvements
shall have been submitted to the
city plan commission and its rec-
ommendation thereon obtained."
From this it is apparent that the
matter at hand is strictly in the
field of planning whether the pub-
lic interest will be properly serv-
ed by a parking lot as located.
It is the unanimous judgement
of the Plan Commission that a
parking lot on the north west cor-
ner of Fifth and Bluff Streets will
not serve the public interest and is
not a proper site for such purpose
at this time.
The Planning & Zoning Com-
mission respectfully recommends
to your Honorable Body that a
parking lot shall not be installed
as proposed, at this time.
Yours truly

Zoning Commission

January 17, 1951
1'o the Honorable Mayor
and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
When you referred the petition
of Mrs. J. M. Walker and others to
the Planning & Zoning Commis-
sion on January 10, 1951, said
Planning & Zoning Commission as-
sumes that you are seeking the
formal report and recommenda-
tion of the Commission as provided
in Section 373.10-1950 Code of Iowa,
which states:
"Recommendations as to
Improvements
No statuary, memorial or work
of art in a public place,
and no public building, bridge, via-
duct, street fixture, public struc-
ture or appurtenance, shall be 1o-
Gated or erected or site thereof ob•
tained, nor shall any permit be is-
sued by any department of the
municipal government for the erec•
tion or location thereof, until and
unless the design and proposed lo-
cation of any such improvements
shall have been submitted to the
city plan commission and its rec-
ommendations thereon obtained."
From this it is apparent that the
matter at hand is strictly in the
field of planning, -whether the
public interest will be properly
served by a parking lot so located.
It is the unanimous judgement
of the Plan Commission that a
parking lot on the north west cor•
ner of Fifth and Bluff Sts. will not
serve the public interest and is not
a proper site for such purpose at
this time.
The Planning & Zoning Com-
mission respectfully recommends
to your Honorable Body that a
parking lot shall not be installed
as proposed, at this time.
Yours truly
The Dubuque Planning
& Zoning Commission
R. V. McKay,
Secretary
Mayor Welu moved that the re-
commendation of the Planning and
%oning Commission be accepted
for the present. Seconded by Coun-
cilman Schueller. Carried by the
