	RAFFERTY SLOUGH. ~~Rafferty Slough lies~~ south of the [[~~JULIEN DUBUQUE BRIDGE~~]] in ~~an area now known as Maus Park~~.		RAFFERTY SLOUGH. In 1909 Iowa state senator [[FRUDDEN, Arbst F.\|Arbst F. FRUDDEN]] proposed a bill which was passed in the Iowa Legislature asking for the deeding of title to Dubuque of thirty-three and a quarter acres of river-bed land. Located south of the city from Rafferty Slough towards [[MOORE'S MILL]], the land was seen as valuable in the future for the construction of manufacturing sites. (1) Conveyed to the city, the land was to be used for a fish hatchery and manufacturing purposes. (2)

	In 1922 many civic leaders and some members of [[EU-QU-BUD]] proposed the site as the ideal loation for a municipal auditorium. The area was at the time being filled in and the city owned the land. The [[DUBUQUE ELECTRIC COMPANY]] favored the site because of the ease in establishing street-car facilities. The tracks were planned to loop around the grounds with spur tracks being available to bank cars to carry those in attendance after the closing of a program.

The tracks were planned to loop around the grounds with spur tracks being available to bank cars to carry those in attendance after the closing of a program. (3)

	Those opposed to the site considered it out-of-the-way from the business center of the city. They pointed to many businesses along Iowa and Central that were located to the north. These people believed that city residents as well as those from the rural areas to accustomed to traveling to these areas and not a site south.

In 1922 the city issued $75,000 in bonds for reclaiming and grading for the slough. (6) The intention was using it for park and factory purposes. The area affected was about 16 acres.

The editorial writers of the ''Telegraph-Herald'', however, warned that the public interest must be protected once the area was filled. It was claimed that other sites had been sold on the strength of promises that had not been fulfilled. (7)

	In 1936 the first site proposed for a municipal swimming pool was the southern portion of Rafferty Slough fill. The planning and zoning commission, however, refused to approve it. After several other sites were considered and rejected, proponents of Rafferty Slough came back with the idea of using the northern portion of the fill area. This was also rejected by the planning and zoning commission. (4) Problems were apparently overcome. The city's proposal for the construction of a municipal pool at Rafferty Slough was submitted to the Public Works Administration in 1936. The estimated cost of the project was $60,000. (5) When the approval was announced, however, the site chosen was [[EAGLE POINT]].		In 1936 the first site proposed for a municipal swimming pool was the southern portion of Rafferty Slough fill.

(6)		More successful in 1936 was the decision to use reclaimed land for a "kids" baseball diamond. (10) Declared finished in May, 1936 the field could be used for hard or softball. A new rule, it was announced would be strictly enforced. No softball team would be permitted to use rocks for the bases. Teams wishing to use the field had be be equipped with cloth bags or squares of wood. (11)
