The Chair explained that In SO far as
the communication referred to the City
Clerk, he would state that the Clerk had
simply sent certified copy Of the ordi-
nance In the condition in which it was
at the time, and that he would have
transmitted q certified copy Of the ordi-
nance as required by the Code, but the
ordinance was and still is In the hands
OF the Mayor for his action.
Mr.. Wells moved to refer the communi-
cation Of the County Auditor to the FL
nance Committee, in connection with the
City Auditor and City Solicitor.
The City Auditor hoped this would be
done. He said it was quite evident to
him that the County Auditor meant busi-
ness. and the sooner the subject re-
ceived proper attention the better, but
he hoped the reference would be made
"with power to act"
MI. Wells accepted that, and the mo-
ton as amended was carried.
