tion to the choosing of members OF the
common council as in their choice Oh
mayor or any other officer. The coun-
Gil stands as the legislative body OF the
CITY, and must pass upon all matters OF
that nature which come up for the
city's good or evil. 1t also has the ap'
propriation of money and the care OF
all matters connected Herewith, and 1T
