To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Wahlert Foundation, anon-pro- fit corporation of Iowa, takes great pleasure in presenting to your Honorable Body, a Deed whereby there is conveyed to the City of Dubuque, all of the property which has been acquired from the Trus- tees of Bunker Hill Golf Club, in- cluding the buildings situated thereon, and all other property, real and personal, to which said Trustees hold title. These properties have been ac- quired by funds of Wahlert Foun• dation, and by contributions from a number of public spirited citi• zees, firms and corporations and the conveyance referred to, is an outright gift subject only to the condition that the City of Dubuque shall use, operate and maintain the premises as an 18 hole Golf Course, and for any other appropriate rec- reational purpose, It is the sincere hope of the don- ors that these facilities will be used and enjoyed by all of the people of Dubuque, and that the general public will lend its en- thusiastic support and cooperation at all times to the end, that these properties, together with any oth- er properties, which may be subse- quently acquired for recreational purposes, will establish the City of Dubuque as outstanding among the cities of the nation.

Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Welu, Councilmen Austin, Kolb, Russo, Schueller, Nays-None, February 5, 1951, To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: With the acceptance of the mag- nificent gift of Bunker Hill from the Wahlert Foundation and the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce, the City of Dubuque has acquired a great facility for the use and enjoyment of its citizens. Along with the gift there is added new responsibility with attendant prob• lems. My purpose in writing this communication is to make certain recommendations for your consid- eration. (1) That since the buildings and considerable acreage of Bunker Hill are outside the present cor- poration, that such area be an- nexed to the city to afford fire protection and the proper enforce- ment of all existing and proposed city ordinances. On this point it may be well to also include in the annexation the area immediately west of Bunker Hill that is now proposed as a site of the stadium, athletic and picnic grounds. (2) That the control of the new facility be retained in the City Council and not delegated, for the present, to any other agency or agencies, This will permit the speedy distribution of basic poli- cies, particularly in budgetary mat- ters. 64 Regular Session, February 5th, 1951 (3) That to assist the Council in arriving at policies to be estab- lished that there be appointed by the City Manager a special ad• visory committee consisting of three men and two women charged with the duty of recommending rules and practices in the opera- tion and maintenance of the new facility, the suggesting of fees and charges comparable to other simi- lar courses, and such other mat- ters asthey may deem advisable in the best interests of the communi- ty. The following persons have, at the Mayor's request, been in• terviewed and their acceptance ob- tained: Mrs. Fred Aschenbrener, Mrs. Wilbur Dalzel, Messrs. Ray C. Briggs, Walter J. Hodge, Mathew H. Czizek. (4) That for budgetary purposes the new facility be given a separ- ate and distinct place in the mu- nicipal budget and treated as a city enterprise. Since the opening of the golf season is in the offing and the necessity far funds with which to purchase fire insurance, fertilizer, seed, supplies, etc. is im- mediate, that there be created a municipal golf course fund and that into it there be transferred for expenditure during the remain- der of the fiscal year, which ends March 31, 1951, the sum of $5,000 from the liquor sales fund by the adoption of an appropriate resolu- tion at the next meeting of the Council. (5) That the budget for the en- suing fiscal year beginning April 1, 1951 provide the sum of $10,000, by way of future transfer from the liquor sales fund, in order to supplement the revenues accruing from the course. It will be neces- sary during the first year of oper- ation to so subsidize in order to place the enterprise on a firm fi- nancial footing. (6) That a golf club manager be secured to actively carry out the policies established by the Coun• cil and for the immediate and di- rect supervision of the area. (7) That the operation of the eating facilities of the Bunker Hill club house be leased to a conces- sionaire under proper contract ar- rangement. These recommendations are of- fered simultaneously with the ac- ceptance of the gift offer in order that a minimum of delay occur be- tween the transfer from private ownership to proper municipal use. Respectfully submitted, A. A. RHOMBERG, City Manager. Councilman Kolb moved that the recommendations of City Manager Rhomberg be adopted and proper proceedings ordered prepared.

Miss Mary Roshon addressed the Council objecting to the proposed construction of a viaduct on East 14th Street and the railroad tracks, stating that there is no need-for this viaduct as the traffic does not warrant this improvement, also making inquiry as to what property will be acquired for the amount of $54,000.00 and objecting to the tak- ing of her property and that if her property is purchased that she be replaced in some other location down town and to be the same as her present home. Mr. John Hughes, attorney rep• resenting the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Com• pony, addressed the Council ob- jecting to the construction of the viaduct at East 14th Street and the railroad tracks, stating that the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Co, is not in a fi- nancial position to pay their share of the cost of the construction, al- so objecting to the plans as they call for an additional 500 feet not to be assessed to the railroads and also that the length of the viaduct as shown exceeds the maximum length as provided by law, also ob- jecting to the apportionment of the distribution of cost to the rail- roads, also that in order to justi- fy the necessity for the viaduct on East 14th Street that it would be necessary to close 13th Street, 15th Street, 16th Street and 17th Street to pedestrian and vehicular traffic, also that with the present situation existing that it would be difficult to secure the necessary materials to construct the said viaduct, also suggesting that the Council thor- oughly canvass the possibility of securing financial aid from State and Federal funds to finance the construction of said viaduct. Mr. Ornburn, assistant chief en• gineer, representing the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Co., addressed the Coum cil objecting to the construction of the viaduct due to the fact that the amount of traffic over the East 14th Street crossing does not jus- tify the cost of the construction of a viaduct by the railroad compan- ies and suggested that a Federal Project be secured to build this viaduct. Mr. Hubert Jones, representing the Chicago, Great Western Rail- way Company, addressed the Coun• cil objecting to the plans, as pro- posed, for the construction of a viaduct at East 14th Street and the railroad tracks as the Chicago Great Western Railway Company have been engaged in the process of rehabilitation and are not in a financial position to pay any part of the cost of the construction of the viaduct, and suggesting that in view of the times and conditions that plans be worked out for se- curing Federal Aid and State Ap- propriation, and further stating that the Chicago, Great Western Railway Company does object to this particular plan at this time due to the force of circumstances. Councilman Russo moved that there being no further oral objec- tions, or objections from the floor, and that every one having been given an opportunity to be heard, that Council recess for the purpose of considering the matter of the construction of the viaduct at East 14th Street and the railroad tracks and the objections presented. Sec- onded by Councilman Schueller. Carried by he folowing vote: Yeas-Mayor Welu, Councilmen Austin, Kolb, Russo, Schueller. Nays-None. Council recessed at 8;45 P.M. and reconvened at 9:10 P.M. After Council reconvened, Mr. Ornburn, representing the Chica- go, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pa• cific Railroad Company, again ad- dressed the Council, stating that the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Company is. in sympathy with the plan for 68 Regular Session, February 5th, 1951 building a viaduct and feels that some help should be secured from public funds, and further stating that this is the first time in his recollection that the railroad com- panies have been called upon to pay for all of the cost of construc- tion for this type of a viaduct. Mayor Welu then inquired if any one present in the Council Cham• ber wished to speak in favor of the construction of the viaduct at East 14th Street and the railroad tracks. Mr. M. H. Czizek, attorney repre- senting the Dubuque Packing Company, addressed the Council in favor of the building of the viaduct and maintained that at present a large portion of the city, including the Dubuque Packing Company and a manufacturing plant, is vir- tually cut off from fire equipment and ambulance service and this is one of the principal reasons ad• vanced in the past for the construc- tion of this viaduct. Mr. John Kerper, secretary of Dubuque Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Council and pointed out to the Council that the Park- ing and Intra•City Traffic Commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce has many times gone on record as favoring the construction of a via• duct on East 14th Street as a means of sure access to the area east of the railroad tracks. Mr. Joseph Sorkin, consulting en• gineer, addressed the Council, an- swering the objections advanced against the construction of the via- duct at East 14th Street and the railroad tracks and recommended a change in apportioning the cost of construction against the rail- road companies, namely, 60% against the Chicago, Great West- ern Railway Company and 40% against the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Com- pany. City Manager Rhomberg ad- dressed the Council on the ques- tion of seeking State and Federal Aid to pay for the construction of the viaduct and advised the Council that he did not know of any way that State and Federal aid could be obtained and recom• mended that if it is the will of the Council that the communication of the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion, approving the plans for the proposed viaduct on East 14th Street and the railroad tracks, be entered into the Council record, and further recommending that if and when the railroad officials wish to confer with the City Coun- cil and the Consulting );ngineer on this matter that they be given the opportunity to so do and fur- ther recommending that Council proceed along the lines that the many years of study indicates. Mayor Welu then announced that the hearing is now concluded and stated that the Council appre- ciates the expressions advanced by the representatives of the railroad companies and all interested par• ties. February 5, 1951. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa.

February 1, 1951 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen; On January 2nd I in• formed your honorable body that I was not a candidate for reap- pointment as City Manager for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 1951. In my letter I further outlined my intention of expediting the un- finished business at hand and of implementing those projects then in their preliminary stages. Effec- tive work on the part of our staff and frequent use of "midnight oil" has advanced such matters faster than was expected. The budget of proposed appropriations for the en• suing fiscal year, in preliminary form, is now ready far your consid• eration. Normally this is a develop- ment of early March. It now appears that the Council proposes, and rightly so, to start the planning of additional new projects. Experience indicates that my successor should be on hand to begin such additional work so that the precious thread of con- tinuity, so needed in public affairs, be not lost. Therefore I now and hereby resign as City Manager of the City of Dubuque effective March 1,1951, I wish to re-state my sincere ap- preciation of the very many favors and courtesies that I have received during my tenure of office and as- sure the Council that I will not be a public servant, the best interest of my native city will be ever close and dear to me. Respectfully submitted, A. A. RHOMBERG, City Manager Councilman Russo moved that the communication of City Manager Rhomberg be referred to the Coun- cil for immediate consideration.

Shea, City Clerk, Dubuque, Iowa. Dear Mr. Shea: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of January 23, 1951, en- closing acommunication from Mr. J. J. Hail, Water Superintendent, concerning the fluoridation of the public water supply. We have re- viewed the communication and agree with the approach to the fluoridation question recommended by Mr. Hail. The decision, whether or not to install fluoridation, rests upon the local board of health af- ter consultation with the local water works officials and the local dental and medical practitioners. In this regard, it is highly desirable that a local committee be formed to investigate the benefits and practicability of adding fluoride to the public supply, and to deter- mine whether or not a genuine pub- lic desire for the treatment exists. We are at the present time pre- paring apublic health bulletin on fluoridation in which the various aspects of the treatment will be dis- cussed briefly together with the re- quirements and procedure to be followed in obtaining the approval of the, State Department of Health. As soon as this information is avail- able for distribution, we will be glad to send it to you. This Division has carefully fol- lowed the findings and studies made in regard to fluorine and its possible dental significance since it first came to the public attention. Through early investigations, it was determined that high concentra- tions of fluoride in a drinking wa- ter supply caused mottled enamel. Mottled enamel of the teeth is an incurable condition of the teeth characterized by the occurrence of chalky white spots appearing on the permanent teeth during the period of eruption. This condition is usually accompanied by brown and yellow discoloration of the teeth. In many cases, the teeth ap- pear black. More or less incidental to the original work to determine the non-injurious amount of natural fluoride in a domestic water sup• ply, it was observed that low con- centrations occurring naturally in water were beneficial in the pre- vention of tooth decay, the optional protection being obtained when the water supply contained fluoride within the range of 1.0 to 1.5 parts pel• million. Because all of the knowledge up to this time was based on studies made in communities having water supplies of high natural fluoride content, no conclusions were jus- tified as to the artificial fluorida- tion of water. It was necessary to set up controlled experiments for the purpose of determining the ef- fect of artificial fluoridation al- though there were no indications that artificial fluordiation would introduce any new problems which had not been previously observed in natural water supplies contain- ing the desired amount of fluorine. Official studies of this kind were set up at Newburgh, New York, and Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1945 and 1946.. Final results of these studies will not be available until about 1955, at which time final observation on children through the full period of denti- tion will have been made. Pre- liminary reports reveal that at Newburgh, New York, where sodi- um fluoride was added to the wa- ter supply to bring the fluorine content up to 1-1.2 parts per mil- lion, the incidence of caries among children was about 30 percent less than in nearby Kingston, New York, where the water supply re- ceived fluorine free. A similar report released on the Grand Rapids' experiment shows a reduced amount of dental caries experienced on the 1949 dental ex• ,, Special Session, February 23rd, 1951 121 aminations when compared with the pre-fluoridation rate. Although the results so far reported from official studies do not indicate as high a percentage of protection against decay as some have claimed, they have clearly demon- strated the value in the practice in reducing tooth decay in young children. The policy of the Department will permit the approval of the fluoridation of the public water supply under certain controlled conditions where the practicabili- ty of the process can be shown. However, until current scientific investigations are completed and the results evaluated, this Depart- ment reserves the right to cancel approval should subsequent find- ings so indicate. Very truly yours, P. J. Houser Division of Public Health Engineering. Councilman Russo moved that the communication be received and made a matter of record. Sec- onded by Councilman Kolb.

February 15,1951 The Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The petition of Glenview Motel Corporation for special permission to allow it to maintain trailers on its premises in violation of the Zoning Ordinance was referred to this office for recommendation and report. Article XVI of the Zoning Ordi- nance and Section 414.7 of the 1950 Code of Iowa vests the power in the Board of Adjustment to make special exceptions from the regulations in proper cases and also provides for an appeal from this Board to the District Court. It is therefore my opinion that any attempt on the part of the Council to grant the petitioner's request would be improper. Respectfully submitted, T. H. NELSON City Solicitor Councilman Austin moved the acceptance of the recommendation in the report of the City Solicitor. Seconded by Councilman Russo.

Interpretation by the Planning & Zoning Commission of the limi- tations of the Zoning Laws pre- cludes the location and occupancy of trailers in all residential dis- tricts, whether Single, Two-Family or Multiple, and the Planning & Zoning Commission herewith an- nunciates this policy for the fu- ture guidance of the general pub- lic. Respectfully submitted, THE DUBUQUE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION By R.V. McKAY Secretary Councilman Russo moved that the recommendation of the Plan- ning and Zoning Commission be ap- proved. Seconded by Councilman Austin. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Welu, Councilmen Austin, Kolb, Russo, Schueller. Nays-None. February 23, 1951 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The owners of the Glenview Ma tel Corp., Messrs Wagner and Scherrer appeared before the Plan- ning & Zoning Commission Thurs- day, February 22, 1951, to state their case in connection with the location and occupancy of trailers on their property which is in a Multiple Family Zone. They claim discrimination insofar as others are allowed to continue to locate and operate trailers in all classes of residential zones about the city. If others can, why not they? The Planning & Zoning Commis- sion has considerable sympathy with the arguments presented but feels that the present Zoning Ordi- nance is very explicit regarding limitations in residential area, and that instead of granting complain- ants permission to join the other offenders, all operators should be brought into line. Such action may create individ- ual hardships, but under all health, fire and social standards they con- stitute acommunity hazard and nuisance, and have been tolerated in recent years only under the pre- text of a housing shortage. Now, while the housing situation is eas- ing up, the trailer nuisance is on the increase. To meet possible hardship argu- ments while moving out presently located trailers and to correct the untenable position in which law enforcement agencies find them- selves the Planning & Zoning Com- mission recommends to your Hon- orable Body that said Planning & Zoning Commission be instructed to study objections raised to the proposed Tourist Camp and Trail- er Control Ordinance, which has twice been presented to City Coun- cil only to fall by the wayside, with a view to possible revision of same far consideration and adop- tion at an early date. No private operator will invest in a proper Trailer Camp as long as individual trailer owners are al- lowed to squat at will. On the other hand, the Commission feels such camps will be built with any en- encouragement, and provide the solution of this vexing problem. Respectfully submitted, DUBUQUE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION By R. V. McKAY Secretary Councilman Russo moved that the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion be authorized to consider a proposed Tourist Camp and Trail- er Control Ordinance in the light of objections presented and to sub- mit recommendations and report back to the City Council.

Nays-None, 132 Special Session, February 23rd, 1951 k'ebruary 13th, 1951 The Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen; The Airport Commission has di- rected me to request the City of Dubuque and County of Dubuque to take action in accordance with Chapter 329 of the 1950 Code of Iowa to enact zoning regulations prohibiting the erection or main- tenance of hazards in the vicinity of theh Dubuque Muncipal Airport. In their opinion the operation of multi-engined planes from the air- port by a commercial airline makes such regulations especially needful at this time, If it is the Council's wish to com- ply with the request of the Airport Commission the first step required is the appointment of an Airport Zoning Commission to recommend the boundaries of the district and the appropriate regulations and restrictions. This Commission shall be selected in the following man- ner: (1) The City of Dubuque shall select two members, one to serve for two years and one to serve for four years; (2) Dubuque County shall select two members, one to serve for two years and one to serve for four years; (3) The four members so selected shall select a fifth member to serve for six years. This Commission should be created and established by a Joint Resolution enacted by both the City Council and the Board of Super- visors, The initiative lies with the City of Dubuque. Submitted herewith is a proposed Resolution creating such a Com- mission, In the event the same is adopted, it should then be referred to the Board of Supervisors with the request that they adopt the same. Upon their adoption of the Joint Resolution the members of the Commission should then be appointed. Respectfully submitted, T. H. NELSON, City Solicitor. Mayor Welu moved that the recommendation of City Solicitor Nelson be adopted. Seconded by Councilman Austin. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Welu, Councilmen Austin, Kolb, Russo, Schueller.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: This is to inform you that Mr, John Bockes has been retained by the City as a consult- ant greens keeper on the Bunker Hill Golf Course at $200.00 per month for eight months of the year. This action was made pos- sible by the gracious consent of the directors of the Dubuque Coun- try Club who retain Mr. Bockes as their employee. The new greens keeper will act in an advisory ca- pacity only, because it is not the desire of the City of Dubuque nor the intent of the directors of the Dubuque Country Club that his present functions being performed for the Country Glub be changed in any manner. The value of this man's service lies in the fact that he built the Bunker Hill Course for the suc- cessive former owners and is thor- oughly familiar with the needs, the maintenance and the care of the grounds. I wish to commend to the Coun- cil the action of the Country Club officers in so assisting the com• munity in developing. the munici- pal recreational facility. Respectfully submitted, A. A. Rhomberg, City Manager. Councilman Austin moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Rhomberg be accepted and the appointment approved. Sec- onded by Councilman Kolb. Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Welu, Councilmen Austin, Kolb, Russo, Schueller. Nays-None. Communication of The United States Municipal News advising Council that wage and price freeze orders do not affect cities, pre- sented and read. , Councilman Kolb moved that the communication be received and placed on file. Seconded by Councilman Austin. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Welu, Councilmen Austin, Kolb, Russo, Schueller. Nays-None. Special Session, February 23rd, 1951 141 ., February 23, 1951, To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Herewith is submit- ted adetailed distribution of pro- posed expenditures of the City of Dubuque for the fiscal year begin- ing April 1, 1951, and ending March 31, 1952. There are some important changes to be noted in this year's Budget. Foremost is the inclusion of the item for the Municipal Golf Course at Bunker Hill. Second is the use of 25% of the anticipated revenues from parking meters for the purchase of traffic control devices, Anoth- er matter is the provision for the operation of the river terminal by the Dock Board instead of by a leasee as heretofore. The wage and salary structure is predicated by granting of an increase of $10.00 per month to those employees who had hereto fore been granted a $15.00 per month increase on November 1, 1950 and the provision far a $25.00 per month increase to those who had not shared in the November 1st increase. In the office of City Solicitor a $25.00 per month increase is pro- posed with an allowance of $40.00 per month for the payment of clerical help in that office, The clerical help is necessary to pro- perly carry on the function of this important office. The salary pro- posed for the secretary in the of- fice of the City Manager is $3900.00 per year. This position is the most important in the second line of command in the entire city ad- ministration,. The diligence of the present incumbent has seen the return of over $5,000.00 per year in sales and used tax refunds from the State of Iowa while the other duties were carried on. Many towns in Iowa are not yet aware of their ability to recapture such money. I recommend this distribution as outlined above to the Council for adoption for a basis for making appropriations for the ensuing year, Respectfully submitted, A. A. Rhomberg, City Manager. Councilman Russo moved that the recommendation of City Man- ager Rhomberg be approved and made a matter of record. Second- ed by Councilman Austin. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Welu, Councilmen Austin, Kolb, Russo, Schueller. Nays-None.
