SEC. 27.3-1 REPEAL OF GENERAL ORDINANCES - EXCEPTIONS. All general ordinances passed by the President and Town Council prior to March 1, 1969, except as are expressly excepted from repeal herein, and except such as are referred to herein as being still in force or are by necessary implication herein reserved from repeal, are hereby repealed (subject to the saving clauses contained in the following section) from which are excluded the following ordinances which are not hereby repealed:
Ordinances relating to boundaries and annexations; franchises and other ordinances granting special privileges to persons or corporations; contract ordinances; salary ordinances; ordinances establishing, naming or vacating streets, alleys or other public places; ordinances setting speed limits; ordinances authorizing the execution of a contract; improvement ordinances; bond ordinances; ordinances relating to elections, ordinances relating to the transfer or acceptance of real estate by the Town and all special ordinances.
SEC. 27.3-2 PENDING SUITS. No new ordinances shall be construed or held to repeal a former ordinance, whether such former ordinance is expressly repealed or not, as to any offense committed against the former ordinance, or as to any act done, any penalty, forfeiture or punishment so incurred, or any right accrued or claim arising under the former ordinance or in any way whatever to affect any such offense or act so committed or so done, or any penalty, forfeiture or penalty so incurred, or any right accrued or claims arising before the new ordinance takes effect, save only that the proceedings thereafter shall conform, as far as possible, to the ordinance in force at the time of proceeding. If any penalty, forfeiture or punishment is mitigated by any provision of a new ordinance, such provision may by consent of the party affected be applied to any judgment pronounced after the new ordinance takes effect.
This section shall extend to all repeals, whether the repeal is in the ordinance making any new provisions upon the same subject or any other ordinance.
Nothing contained in this or the preceding section shall be construed as abating any action now pending under or by virtue of any general ordinance of the town herein repealed; or as discontinuing, abating, or modifying or altering any penalty, accrued or to accrue, or as affecting the liability of any person, firm or corporation, or as waiving any right of the town under any section at the time of the passage of this ordinance.
