Should this Charter be adopted by the qualified electors of the city, then it shall become the duty of the Board of Commissioners, as soon thereafter as practical, to employ some competent attorney, who shall be well experienced in municipal law to carefully search the various records of the city and compile and report to said Board a list of the ordinances and resolutions then in force, with his recommendations as to which are obsolete and should be repealed or revised and which should continue in force. And said Board shall pass such ordinances or resolutions as may be necessary to repeal all such obsolete ordinances as may then appear to be in force, and pass and adopt such additional ordinances, in lieu thereof, as may be necessary to properly protect health, life and property and to prevent and summarily abate and remove all nuisances and to preserve and enforce good government, order and security of the city and its inhabitants, and such additional ordinances and resolutions as may be necessary to put into effect those provisions of this Charter which are not self-enacting and in aid of such other provisions as to said Board may seem necessary, including ordinances and resolutions covering departmental regulations, and after said obsolete laws shall have been repealed and such additional ordinances mentioned above shall have been passed by said Board, it shall be the duty of said Board to cause this Charter to be properly indexed and the then laws of said city to be carefully codified, by said attorney so employed, and this Charter and said laws published in book or pamphlet form "By authority of the Board of Commissioners of the City of Burkburnett."
