REGULAR MEETING JUNE 13TH, 1955 (Letter from Mr. Erler to Mr. Huff continued) In as much as the proposed Ordinance establishing C -2 Zoning does not follow the rules of procedure for passing an ordinance and inas much as the ordinance has never had the Second Reading in full as presented to the Council originally, which of course is required before amendments, engrossments or passage, it is my opinion that this ordinance has not been adopted by the Council. To properly clear the procedure on this, it will be necessary to re- present it to the Council. Very truly yours, COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA WHE:h By /s/ Walter C.
