ORDINANCES. Ordinances are statues enacted by a city government. The Dubuque town board was formed in 1837 with [[WILSON, Thomas S.|Thomas S. WILSON]] serving as its president. The first official act was to pass resolutions calling for the removal of obstructions from the slough and [[MISSISSIPPI RIVER]] adjacent to the city making the river navigable for [[STEAMBOATS]].

4) prohibited throwing filth, rubbish or dead animals into the streets,

5) prohibited residents from allowing their hogs or cattle to run at large,
