the services now rendered by Councilmen;

its own motion, hereby authorizes and directs that a proposition be
submitted to the electors of the City proposing amendment of
Section 402 of the Charter of the City of Santa Ana to provide a
monthly compensation of each member of the City Council of $200.00
and the member elected by the City Council as Mayor to receive an
additional amount of $100.00 each month, and that said Section be
amended so that the same will read as follows:
