the Mayor, and he shall, within 10 days after receiving any ordinance,
either approve the ordinance by affixing his signature thereto or
return it to the Council by delivering it to the Municipal Clerk,
together with a statement setting forth his objections thereto or
to any item or part thereof. No ordinance or any item or part thereof
shall take effect without the Mayor's approval, unless:
a. The Mayor fails to return the ordinance to the Council within 10
days after it has been presented to him; or

shall be prevented by absence from the municipality, disability or
other cause from attending to the duties of his office. During such
time, the person so designated by the Mayor shall possess all the
rights, powers and duties of the Mayor. Whenever the Mayor shall have
been unable to attend to the duties of his office for a period of
60 consecutive days for any of the above-stated reasons, an Acting
Mayor shall be appointed by the Council, who shall succeed to all
the rights, powers and duties of the Mayor or the then Acting Mayor.
Upon return of the Mayor to the duties of his office, the term of
