<br />
<br />1st - %~%e Manager presented the following ordinance:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING PERSONS WHO BUY SECOND-HAND
<br />BUILDING MATERIAL EXCEPT FROM A LICENSED DEA~R, TO KEEP A
<br />DAILY RECORD THEREOF AND FURNISH THE SAME TO THE CHIEF OF
<br />POLICEu
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr. Fox ~o place same on its first reading, was adopted.
<br />
<br />2nde- The Manager presented the following ordinance:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE MJ~KING IT UNLAWFUL TO ENTER UPON ANY VA-
<br />CANT BUILDINGS OR THEIR ENCLOSURES, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF
<br />THE O~NERS"
<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 eDeven thousand dollars,
<br />the difference between ~he interest allowed by the banks ~ud the interest the City paid the
<br />banks when it borrowed the same money.
<br /> The amount 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 tha~ the ordinance relative to this fund, passed by the
<br />City Council on October 10th, t922, be annulled, so that the $60,000. may be applied to the
<br />Floating Debt, which will cut ~his debt down from ~$~10,000. to $350,000. If the arran'ge~ent
<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 present an ordinance covering the same, was adopted.
