This compilation of the ordinances of the City of Ann Arbor, was undertaken in accordance with a resolution of the Common Council passed August 6, 1894. The ordinance committees of that year and the year following, caused the work to be done under their immediate supervision, holding many and frequent meetings with the various executive officers and boards of the city to make the revision as satisfactory as possible. The publication of these ordinances has been made in accordance with Section 3 of an ordinance entitled "An ordinance to repeal certain ordinances and to give effect to the Revised Ordinances of 1896. In the printing of the ordinances it has been thought advisable to insert words obviously omitted from the originals by clerical error, but all such words have been bracketed, as have also, in two or three instances, words obviously inserted in the originals by mistake. It should have been noted upon pages 25, 29, 32 and 34, that Sections 61, 69, 77 and 83 of the charter are printed as amended March 15, 1895. [This position was established as an elective city office by the charter of 1889.] *In March, 1895, the term of office of mayor and president of the council was extended to two years.
