two years and be removable at the will of the Council. His compensation

City Collector shall collect all revenues of the City and moneys

He shall cause all gas and water meters to be read and shall
notify each debtor of the amount of water and gas bills due by
such debtor to the City and that the amount is due and payable
not later than the 10th day of the month or quarter for which
the bill is rendered. He shall supply the Superintendent of Public
Utilities with a list of delinquents not later than the 25th day
