This clipping from a Chicago newspaper is a transcribed ordinance relating to the City Sexton's duties. It was pasted to a Common Council file.
The text, an ordinance described as "Supplemental to an Ordinance amendatory to the Revised Ordinance passed on October 13, 1851", reveals the fluidity of the city's rules.
Changes to the published ordinance, which concerned the City Sexton, are noted in the margins of the document in the Council's file. Section 4 of the ordinance was omitted from the newspaper transcription. |
