AS these ordinances could not be passed
on the same day they were introduced, 1t
became necessary TO provide for another
special meeting. Mr.. Murphy wanted to
adjourn till S o'clock this morning, but ow-
ing TO the necessity of beginning work On
the building at daylight this morning, II
was finally decided to meet again at II :O5
this morning, the following members pledg-
mr, Drew, He mess ,, Kaiser, Koehring,
Krauss Magel, O'Brien, Rauh, Ryan.
Schmid. Shaffer, Stott, Young. Cooper.
This is, just one more than the necessary
two-thirds of all the members, which 1t
takes to pass any special APPROPRIATION a o
Gil met in special session, two more mem
bers responding to the roll call than had
pledged themselves to be present Chair
called up the appropriation ordinances
which were presented at the evening SEES
sion, and they were passed by unanimous
vote.
The committee on ordinances reported the
ordinance printed above and recommended
that Section 4 be stricken out. After con-
siderable debate the roll was called, which
resulted as follows:
Ayes Ito strike out Section 4-Allen,
Golfer, Hennessy, Kaiser, Krauss, Magel,
O'Brien, Puryear, Rauh, Ryan, Schmid,
Shaffer, Stott, Cooper-14.
Nays-Drew Koehring, Young1,s.
The ordinance was then passed with Sec
ton stricken out. This is the section that
the Health Board was more DESTROYS of
ordinance, as it would give them power
TO enforce their orders for vaccination. As
the law now stands IL is doubtful If the
board has any such power, although the
State law provides for the enforcement OF
such rules as may be promulgated by the
State Board of Health.
