three bills for ordinances, proyld-

nut on the final reading after the

were passed. A resolution pro

After a committee, headed Dy
Chairman Hal Patton, had report
ed that the city's delinquent street
assessments are in a deplorabIe
condition, ano had declared that
certificates of delinquency should
be issued Immediately and that
foreclosure should be made, Mayor

and Ed Sehunke.
Opinion Is Rendered.
An opinion prepared by City
Attorney Ray Smith for the bene-
fit of Alderman F. L. Utter, which
was presented to the council last
night, held that, if the aldermen
see fit, they may change the rules
concerning the reading of ordi-
nance bills. At the present time
no ordinance may be passed on by
the council until it has had three
readings, and the third reading
may not take place on the same
night as the first two unless the
council unanimously votes SO to
do. A two-thirds vote would be
re4 uired to change the ruling, the
city attorney explained, and two
weeks notice concerning the ac-
tion would necessarily be given.
