bered. 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 ordi-
nances 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obsolete, and such as have been replaced by ordinances cov-
ering the same ground may be repealed, while the others
shall be examined and may be revised and amended. All

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 ordinance 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 re-
pealed. Immediately after the passage of this enact-
ment the Council shall provide a book, to be designated
general records of Easton, Liber I, and other books of this
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 Coun-
