stitutes a serious menance to.navigation in said harbor and endan-

and no orditance exists making; such practices unlawful, creates an
emergency and an imperative public necessity necessitating the sus—
pension of the rule requiring ordinances to be read on three (3)
several days before their passage and said rule is therefore hereby
suspended and this ordinance shall take effect and be in full force
and effect from and after its passage and lawful publication.
