<br />
<br />1st - ~he Manager presented the following ordinance:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING PERSONS WHO BUY SECOND-H~ND
<br />BUILDING MATERIAL EXCEPT FROM A LICENSED D~ER, TO KEEP A
<br />DAILY RECORD THEREOF AND FUBNISH THE SAME TO THE CHIE~ OF
<br />POLICE"
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr. Fox ~o place same on its first reading, was adopted.
<br />
<br />2nd-- The Manager presented the following ordinance:
<br />
<br /> "A~N ORDINANCE NAMING IT UNLAWFUL TO ENTER UPON ANY VA-
<br />CANT BUILDINGS OR THEIR ENCLOSURES, WITHOUT THE CONSENT_ OF
<br />THE OWNERS,
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr.. Howard to place said ordinance on its first reading, was adopted.
<br />
<br /> 3rd - "The ordinance passed many years ago, segregating funds from the Olive
<br />Branch Cemetery, has cost the City, up to this time, between ten and el-even thousand dollars,
<br />the di. fference between the interest allowed by the bar, ks 'and the interest the City paid ~he
<br />banks when it borrowed the same money.
<br /> The ~mount of the fund now is in exc~ess of $60,000. and the City is
<br />paying the banks 2~% for taking care of this money.
<br /> I recommend that the ordinance relative to this fund, passed by the
<br />City Counc-il on October 10th, '192~, be annulled, so that the $60,000. may be ~oplied to the
<br />Floating Debt, which will cu~ this deb~ down from $410,000. to $350,000. If the arrangement
<br />now existing should continue ten years longer at $1,500. a year, it would cost the City an
<br />additional $15, O00."
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Hutchins to concur-in the Manager's recommendation and that the
<br />City Attorney be authorized to presen~ an ordinance covering the same, was adopted.
<br />

<br />
