A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the

the same during all times while said Code is in effect. The enactment

a copy of the Code for inspection by the public, shall be deemed,
held and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions
of the Code for all purposes.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions known collectively
as the "Code of the Village of Sag Harbor" or any new local laws or
resolutions, when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the

enactment of this local law in such form as to indicate the intention
of said Board to be a part of said Code shall, when finally enacted
or adopted, be included therein by temporary attachment of copies
of such changes, local laws or resolutions until such changes, local
laws or resolutions are printed as supplements to said Code book,
at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
