Closing debate

The mover of a resolution or amendment shall be entitled to close the debate. No member of a Council shall be permitted to speak twice on the same resolution or amendment, but a member who has spoken may be again heard provided it is to clear up any misunderstanding in regard to some material part of his speech. In no case, however, shall such member be allowed to introduce new matter into the debate under cover of making a personal explanation. Town Councils 169
