Editor's Note: Chapter 15, Municipal Court, also contains provisions pertaining to the Municipal Judge. In the event of conflict between the provisions in Ch. 15 and those in this division, presumably the latter provisions shall prevail. Former Div. 5, Director of Finance, was repealed at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II). See now Art. V, Div. 2, below.
