of the City as enacted by Private and Special Laws, Chapter 49 of
1945, as amended from time to time. Amendments are cited in parentheses
following the provision amended. The absence of such a citation indicates
the provision has not been amended and is as enacted by Private and
Special Laws, Chapter 49 of 1945. Material enclosed within brackets
has been added to facilitate the use of the charter and is not to
be considered a substantive part of the charter.]
