Sec. 2-73.        Decisions on questions of order.

   The mayor shall decide questions of order at council meetings and may, without vacating the chair, give his reasons for his decision. From any such decision of the chair, an appeal may be made to the council in session, the question being "Shall the decision of the chair be sustained?" Upon such appeal, no debate shall be allowed, if it refers to a question of decorum, but if it relates to the priority of business or to the relevancy or applicability of propositions, the appeal may be debated.
