14,01 MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS
<br />municipal government are also expressly required to keep full
<br />records their public transactions. And it has been held that,
<br />although the law may not in express terms direct the keeping of such
<br />records, the duty of so doing � nece s r implication is unposed.
<br />Some of the laws requiring the keeping of records have been held
<br />mandatory, and others merely directory." In the absence of a law
<br />requiring public co tra is to be entered on the minutes, the failure
<br />to do so will not defeat Ao contract."
<br />The law requires a record to the end that those who may be called
<br />to act under it may have no occasion to look beyond it. is i to
