Syllabus

<p>Municipalities — Ordinances—Appropriations.</p> <p>Where a municipality borrows money and specifically appropriates it to the creation of a bureau of filtration, it is not necessary that the money so borrowed should be appropriated over and over again by annual ordinance in case some of it should happen not to be paid out during the year; nor is it necessary that the ordinance for the raising and appropriating of such money should have been passed within the month in which by law the taxes and revenues of the city are required to be appropriated.</p> <p>Municipalities — Ordinances—Title of ordinance.</p> <p>An ordinance entitled “to create a bureau of filtration in the Department of Public Works and to provide for the employees and assistants of such bureau,” is sufficient in its title to give notice that the body of the ordinance may contain provisions relative to the compensation of the employees.</p>
