by the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Bridgeville, and it is
the intention of said Board of Commissioners that each such provision
contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in the

Town of Bridgeville 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.

or supplements to the Code or any new ordinances, when enacted or
adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Board of
Commissioners to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to be incorporated
into such Code so that reference to the Code shall be understood and

other authorized person to keep up-to-date the certified copy of the

subsequent to the enactment of this ordinance in such form as to indicate

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.
