Thereafter, said Board shall meet at such place as may be prescribed by its rules, regulations and by-laws; but it shall hold regular meetings at least twice during each calendar month of the year, with the exception of the months of July and August, during each of which months the Board may at its discretion dispense with one of its regular meetings.

The Board shall keep a journal of its proceedings which shall be available for the inspection of all interested persons.
