Sec. 10. 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, five 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 two-thirds
vote of the Council in a sum not less than five dollars nor more
than ten dollars. (Code, Sec. 1015g.)
