CHAPTER VI.
OF THE SECRETARY OF THE AYUNTAMIENTO.
Art. 37. It shall be the duty of the secretary to record all the
acts of the ayuntamiento, in both the English and Spanish lan-
guages, placing one opposite to the other, in the same book, to
avoid mistakes.
Art. 38. He shall also translate into English, in writing, all
the orders and decrees which he may receive from the ayunta-
miento or its president; and he shall file such translation with its
respective original, to prevent their being lost or misplaced; it
being well understood that, should the secretary fail to comply
with the duties imposed on him, by this and the foregoing article,
he shall suffer the penalty of twenty-five dollars, applicable to the
municipal funds.
Art. 39. The secretary shall keep a book of acts, in which shall
be recorded a brief, clear and substantial account of all matters
discussed and put to vote in the ayuntamiento, and of every reso-
lution of that body, whatever may be its nature.
Art. 40. He shall give information on any subject, whenever
it may be necessary for him to do so, but without taking part in
the discussion.
Art. 41. He shall, on the opening of each session, read the
record of the proceedings of the last session, which being ap-
proved of, or amended, by that body, he shall render an account
of the public correspondence and all other matters which may
have occurred.
Art. 42. The archives of the ayuntamiento shall be under his
charge and responsibility; and he will deliver such documents as
may be called for by the committees, alcalde, regidors, state's
attorney, attorney appointed by the ayuntamiento to defend its
interest, or any other public functionary, requiring a receipt from
the person talking such documents.
Art. 43. He shall not permit any individual (not compre-
hended in the preceding article) to take from the office, any papers
or documents that have been filed or recorded; but he can permit
the examination of them in the office, and in no other way.
