OF THE

CITY OF NEW YORK.

An Ordinance adopting the Code of Ordinances of the City of New York.

Be it Ordained by the Board of Aldermen of The City of New York as follows:

That all ordinances of The City of New York which were in force on January 1, 19€, be and they hereby are repealed; Be it further Ordained, That the ordinances of The City of New York, excluding those ordinances designated as obsolete, which are herewith presented in the report of the Committee on Codification of Ordinances of the Board of Aldermen of The City of New York as the existing ordinances of said city up to the date of January 1, 1906, and all ordinances recommended in said committee's report for re-enactment, with the corrections as therein designated, be and they hereby are adopted and enacted as ordinances of The City of New York. Be it further Ordained, That this ordinance shall not be construed to affect or impair any right, interest, privilege or power which has accrued or been conferred heretofore, or any penalty, obligation, liability, forfeiture or assessment heretofore incurred, or any action or proceeding now pending; and any right, interest or privilege which, by the terms of any ordinance in force at the time of the adoption of this ordinance continues during the pleasure of the Board of Aldermen, shall not be hereby terminated.

By section 41 of the Greater New York Charter (L. 1897, chap. 378), all ordinances of the local boroughs in The City of New York, when not inconsistent with the charter, were continued in force. But the Board of Aldermen was given full power and authority to pass ordinances governing all the boroughs by sections 42, 44, 49, 50 and 51, and to modify, amend or repeal any ordinances of the local boroughs. Section 57 prescribed the ordinances should, as far as practicable, be reduced to a code and published. These general powers were continued by the revision of 1901 (L. 1901, chap. 466). The revised charter (sec. 57) requires an annual compilation by the Board of Aldermen on January first of the general ordinances in force. It is in pursuance of this section this code was prepared.
