All ordinances shall be first read for information on the day when introduced and, unless otherwise ordered by Council, shall be then referred to a proper committee, which shall report the same back, with or without amendment, as the committee deems best, at the next meeting of Council when the same shall be read a second time, and unless otherwise ordered, shall be laid on the table until the next meeting of Council, when the same shall be read the third time unless otherwise disposed of, the final vote shall be taken by "yeas" and "nays" thereon, and recorded on the journal, and shall require for passage or adoption, except when otherwise provided by law, the concurrence of a majority of all members elected.
