Sec. 9. Absence of quorum—how quorum secured.
If a quorum fail to attend a meeting of the Council within
a half hour after the appointed time for such meeting, those
present may adjourn to such time as they deem proper, after
the names of those present shall have been entered on the journal.
At such meeting, two or more members shall have authority to
compel the attendance of absent members by a process in writing
signed by them and addressed to any policeman, directing him to
summons such absent members to such time and place to which
the meeting shall have been adjourned. Any member refusing
to obey such summons may be fined by a four-fifths vote of the
Council in a sum not less than five dollars nor more than twenty-five
dollars.
