follows:
"Sec. 14. Methods of transacting business by the
board Veto — Authentication and publication of ordinances. — The Board
shall hold one ordinary session for the transaction of business during
each week on a day which it shall fix by resolution, and such
extraordinary session as may be called by the Mayor at his entrance or
upon written request of the majority of members of the board with at
least twelve hours notice to each member. It shall sit with open doors,
unless otherwise ordered by an affirmative vote of five members. It
shall keep a record of its proceedings and determine its rules or
procedure not herein set forth. Five members of the Board shall
continue constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. But
smaller number may adjourn from day to day and may compel the immediate
attendance of any member absent without good cause by issuing to the
police of the city an order for his arrest and production at the
session under such penalties as shall have been previously prescribed
by ordinance. Five affirmative votes shall be necessary for the passage
of any ordinance, or of resolution or motion directing the payment of
money or creating liability, but other measures shall prevail upon the
majority votes of the members present at any meeting duly called and
held. The ayes and nays shall be taken and recorded upon the passage of
all ordinances, upon all resolutions or motions directing the payment
of money or creating liability, and at the request of any member, upon
any other resolution or motion. Each approved ordinance, resolution or
motion shall be sealed with the seal of the Board, signed by the
presiding officer and the secretary of the Board and recorded in a book
kept for the purpose and shall, on the day following its passage, be
posted by the secretary at the main entrance to the city hall, and
shall take effect and be in force on and after the tenth day following
its passage unless otherwise stated in said ordinance, resolution or
motion or vested by the Mayor as hereinafter provided. A vetoed
ordinance, if repassed, shall take effect ten days after the veto is
overridden by the required votes unless otherwise stated in the
ordinance or again disapproved by the Mayor or within said
time."
Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect upon its
approval.
Enacted without Executive
