Moved by Alderman Traboulay:

Seconded by Alderman Keryluk:

That the rules of order be waived by defering the motion on the
floor so that Alderman Laking can be afforded an opportunity to present
his case against the proposed "Council Indemnity By~law, 1975, No. 1362"
with respect to the increase in the amount of the indemnity to be paid
to the Aldermen in the year 1975.

Prior to the question being called on the foregoing proposed resolution,
Alderman Ranger advised he objected to this procedure as he felt he had
made a proper motion, and His Worship the Mayor ruled that the original
motion proposed by Alderman Ranger was in order. Alderman Laking stated
he would accept the ruling of the Chair, but that he felt an increase in
the area of between 12% and 124% for the Council would have been adequate;

’

however, Alderman Traboulay poiiited out this should have been debated

when the matter was first being discussed.

The City Clerk advised that a By-law to provide for the waiving of

a portion of the sewer tax applied to property owned and occupied by a

certain class of citizens sixty-five years of age or over was available
for initial consideration.

Alderman Laking introduced a By-law to provide for the waiving of a
