Session 589, Minutes February 1, 1960 Page 14 read ~'not exceeding the sum of $500.00 for each such violation" if this meets with Mr. Boisseau's approval. Mayor Kaufman stated that in view of the continued amendments he would sug- gest that the motion and second before the Council be withdrawn and have Councilman Lahrmann submit his views and if there is any sympathy toward them it can be embodied in the original motion and second. Councilman Baris pointed out that if Councilman Stake withdraws his second and Councilman Baris withdraws his motion there is nothing before the Council for considera- tion. The Mayor suggested that merely the second be withdrawn. Councilman Stake withdrew his second. Councilman Baris said he believes it would be proper for Councilman Lahrmann to make an amendment to the amendment. Councilman Lahrmann said he would like to amend the suggested amendments to Bill No. 5790 so that Section 902.1, eighth paragraph, would have a graduating fee, namely for merchandise vending machines using from 1¢ to 4¢ as a unit of sale a fee of $1.00; from 5¢ up to but not including 25¢, $2.50; and for 25¢ and over, $5.00.

Councilman Tandler moved that the suggested amendment to Bill No. 5790 be amended as follows: that the term "architects~ be deleted from Section 902.2. I~otion seconded by Councilman Stake, Mayor Kaufraan suggested that the question be posed. The Mayor requested that all in favor of Councilman Tandler's motion to amend the suggested amendments to Bill No. 5790 say "aye~ whereupon, the following vote was recorded: AYES: Councilmen Soule, Stake, G~eeson, Baris, Tand!er. NAYS: Councilman Lahrmaz~n and Mayor Kaufman. f~SENT: None. The motion therefore carried. Mayor Kaufman called for a vote on the motion and second on the floor on the original suggested amendments:- Councilman Lahrmann asked whether this is Councilman Baris' motion and the Mayor answered affirmatively. Mayor Kaufman again called for a vote and the motion was unanimously carried. Councilman Lahrmann said he would like to offer another amendment by making a
