CAN CORRECT
THE MINUTES

Continued from First Page).
Gil in accordance with the facts as
you understand them, but It is not
only the privilege but the duty Of
Council to see that the minutes kept
by you are correct, and II a dispute
arises as to what are the correct min
utes Of the proceedings, such a dis
pute can only be decided by a major
ity of Council. If therefore, a major
ity of Council declare your minutes
incorrect that ends the matter and IL
is your duty TO amend them accord
ingly.
l think a moments reflection will
convince you that If this were not
true it would create a very serious
situation.
Suppose the Clerk OF Council. for
instance. should make a mistake or
should deliberately make false en-
try in the minutes kept by him, there
must rest somewhere the power to
make corrections. Unless Council
did have such power, the Clerk of
Council would become the supreme
power in municipal affairs instead
OF the body that elected him, as the
minutes when approved by Council
are the best and only evidence OF
It's proceedings.
