noted COW ordinance which was read and
placed on its passage. Healy wanted the
ordinance so amended to make a distinc-

The ordinance requires five
hours notice and fee of $40 for each per-
Torrance.
Coffin said the ordinance was an undig-
nified document and badly constructed
and would give more trouble than it
would do good. 1t would forbid serenad-
ing or music of any kind on the streets,
and make everything
ridiculous. At this moment the in
lights went out and the
lobby thought it very funny that Coffin
should knock out the lights.
The ordinance failed to be considered on

registered and the purchasers could do as
hey pleased about registering the bonds
He said the city never had paid for regis
ering bonds.
Coffin said the city is not compelled to
'egister the bonds and since the work has
been done the purchasers would not now
Day for it and the city would have it to
pay or allow Glaze and Throckmorton to
Day for it.
The city clerk said he had some time
