[Adopted 9-5-1995 (Ch. 2 of the Town Code)]
In the construction of this Code, the following rules shall be observed unless such construction would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the ordinance:
A. 
Wisconsin Statutes. All references to "Wisconsin Statutes" or "Wis. Stats." shall mean the Wisconsin State Statutes as of the adoption of this Code, as amended or renumbered from time to time.
[Amended 3-16-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-05]
B. 
Singular and plural. Every word imparting the singular number only may extend and be applied to several persons or things as well as to one person or thing, provided that these rules of construction shall not be applied to any provision which contains any express language excluding such construction.
C. 
Person. The word "person" extends and applies to natural persons, firms, corporations, associations, partnerships or other bodies politic and to all entities capable of being sued, unless plainly inapplicable.
D. 
Acts of agents. When a provision requires an act to be done which may by law as well be done by an agent as by a principal, such requirement shall be construed to include all such acts when done by an authorized agent.
If the provisions of the different chapters of this Code conflict or contravene each other, the provisions of each chapter shall prevail as to all matters and questions arising out of subject matter of such chapter.[1]
