uncancelled'mechanics', laborers, contractor's, or materialmt
liens on such properties or on file in any public office where
the same should be filed in order to be valid liens against any

States Government. Such investments shall be made by the City
in accordance with procedures usually followed by the City in
making investments of its funds.
17. The sale of the bonds herein authorized to

Ithereof in conflict herewith are, to the extent of such conflict,

Ipublic as required by law and public notice of the time, place,
and purpose of said meeting was given as required by Chapter 227,
Acts of the 61st Legislature, Regular Session, 1969.
20. The fact that the contemplated use of the proceeds
Iof the waterworks revenue bonds are necessary for the orderly
development and growth of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas,
creates a public emergency and an imperative public necessity
requiring the suspension of the Charter Rule providing that no
ordinance or resolution shall be passed finally on the date it
is introduced, and that such ordinance or resolution shall be
read at three several meetings of the City Council and the Mayor
having declared that such public emergency and imperative neces-
sity exist, and having requested that said Charter Rule be
suspended and that this ordinance take effect and be in full
force and effect from and after its passage, it is accordingly
so ordained. nn
