The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same
as those of ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment of the

and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall
date from the date of adoption of the prior ordinance. All such provisions
are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as
to their adoption by the Town Council of the Town of North Branford, and it
is the intention of said Council that each such provision contained within
the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in the Code.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office
of the Town Clerk of the Town of North Branford and shall remain there for
use and examination by the public until final action is taken on this ordinance;
and, if this ordinance shall be adopted, such copy shall be certified to by
the Town Clerk of the Town of North Branford by impressing thereon the Seal
of the town, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of
said Town Clerk to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same
during all times when said Code is in effect.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to the Code
or any new ordinances, when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate
the intention of the Town Council to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to
be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the Code shall be understood
and intended to include such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements.
Whenever such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to the Code
shall be enacted or adopted, they shall thereafter be printed and, as provided
hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf book containing said Code as amendments
and supplements thereto.
It shall be the duty of the Town Clerk or such other authorized person
to keep up-to-date the certified copy of the book containing the Code of the
Town of North Branford required to be filed in the office of the Town Clerk
for use by the public. All changes in said Code and all ordinances adopted
by the Town Council subsequent to the enactment of this ordinance in such
form as to indicate the intention of said Council to be a part of said Code
shall, when finally enacted or adopted, be included therein by temporary attachment
of copies of such changes or ordinances until such changes or ordinances are
printed as supplements to said Code book, at which time such supplements shall
be inserted therein.

Each section of the Code and every part of each section

or part thereof.
