full and accurate minutes to be kept of all their proceedings; and when-
ever the Council shall vote upon the question of the adoption of any reso-
lution, by-law or ordinance, the minutes shall show how many and which
Councilmen voted for the adoption of said resolution, by-law or ordinance,
and also how many and which Councilmen voted against the same. Each
Councilman shall receive the annual salary of two hundred ($200) dollars
which sum shall be payment in full for all services rendered the town as
Councilman, provided, however, that any Councilman may be reimbursed
by the town for actual and necessary traveling expenses while outside the
corporate limits of Pocomoke City on business for the said town and pro-
vided further that one Councilman may be appointed and act as town
treasurer and receive therefor in addition to his salary as Councilman not

of said town and receive therefor in addition to his salary as Councilman
not to exceed the sum of seventy-five dollars per annum. Provided, how-
ever, that no Councilman shall hold the offices of town treasurer and
superintendent of Water Works both at the same time.
