He said that two-thirds of a quorum, or a majority of the council, are competent to act. Thereupon a resolution was adopted making four a quorum.
 The old rule making five a quorum was supposed 10 be taken from Rob- erts' Rules of Order, but q copy of that work could not be scared up in in the city and the council had been afraid it might do something irregular if it tempered with accepted precedent. Judge Maltby having accepted the res possibility, however, the mooted step was taken and it is believed much trouble and inconvenience may be avoided thereby
