books shall contain a record of all the proceedings of the Council. The
minute books heretofore used by the Commissioners of Easton shall be
numbered in the order of their use, and new minute books shall be added
as the same may be needed; on the third Monday of May A. D. 1906,
a new minute book shall be provided, and it shall be designated Easton
minute book, new series Liber 1, and all subsequent minute books shall
be designated in a similar manner, except that the liber shall be rightly
numbered. When an ordinance is passed the minute book shall show its
number and title, and shall set forth the names of the Councilmen who
voted in favor of its enactment and the names of those who voted against
the same. When the Council enters into a contract with other parties a
proper entry showing the title and general character shall appear in the
minute book, and all acts of the Council shall be mentioned therein, but
no paper or document which is to be recorded in the ordinance book or
in the general record book shall be set out at length in the minute book.
In ordinance books, provided for the purpose, all ordinances shall be set
out in full and at length with their proper number prefixed thereto, and
with the date of their respective enactment placed at the end thereof. The
ordinances heretofore passed which still remain in force shall be revised,
and such of them as have become practically obsolete, and such as have
been replaced by ordinances covering the same ground may be repealed,
while the others shall be examined and may be revised and amended. All
such ordinances as are revised or amended shall be set out and entered
in a book furnished therefor. This book shall be designated "The Revised
Ordinances of Easton, Liber I," and all the ordinances set forth therein
shall be re-enacted by a general ordinance, which shall also be therein
recorded. Other ordinance books shall be added as they may be needed,
with the same designation as Liber I, except that the Liber shall be rightly
numbered, and all ordinances shall be set out and recorded in the ordi-
nance books as they are enacted, beginning with Liber I; provided, that
all ordinances now existing shall remain in force until the general revisory
ordinance has been passed, unless sooner specifically repealed. Immedi-
ately after the passage of this enactment the Council shall provide a book,
to be designated general records of Easton, Liber I, and other books of
(his class shall be added as the same may be needed, and such additional
books shall be properly designated and numbered; in the general record
book shall be recorded at length all papers and documents connected with
the election of Councilmen and other town elections, including all notices,
all certificates of oaths administered, all returns and all certificates show-
ing that the Councilmen and other town officers, whether elected or ap-
pointed, dully took the prescribed oath of office according to law; also all
franchises and contracts in writing granted or entered into by the "Mayor
and Council" to or with other parties, and all other papers and documents
concerning the town and its affairs which the Council may require to be
recorded therein. Extracts from any municipal record books, copies or*
