The Treasurer and such other officers or employees of the town
as the council or this charter may require, shall give bond in such
amount and with such surety as may be required by the council. The
premiums on such bonds shall be paid by the town. (Res., March, 1963,
sec. 96; P.L.L. 1963, sec. 101.)
All right, title, and interest held by the town or any other
person or corporation at the time this charter is adopted, in and
to any lien acquired under any prior charter of the town, are hereby
preserved for the holder in all respects as if this charter had not
been adopted, together with all rights and remedies in relation thereto.
This charter shall not discharge, impair, or release any contract,
obligation, duty, liability, or penalty whatever existing at the time
this charter becomes effective. All suits and actions, both civil
and criminal, pending, or which may hereafter be instituted for causes
of action now existing or offenses already committed against any law
or ordinance repealed by this charter, shall be instituted, proceeded
with, and prosecuted to final determination and judgment as if this
charter had not become effective. (Res., March, 1963, sec. 97; P.L.L.
1963, sec. 102)
(Repealed Res. R-2-90, effective 10-5-1990)
If any section or part of section of this charter shall be held
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not
affect the remainder of this charter nor the context in which such
section or part of section so held invalid shall appear, except to
the extent that an entire section or part of section may be inseparably
connected in meaning and effect with the section or part of section
to which such holding shall directly apply. (Res., March, 1963, sec.
100; P.L.L. 1963, sec. 105.)
Wherever in this subtitle the word "town" shall appear, it shall
be taken and construed to mean also the word "city". (Res., March,
1963, sec. 101; P.L.L. 1963, sec. 106.)
