SECTION 42. RECORDATION; ADOPTION OF CODE OF LAWS AND ORDINANCES.
   All ordinances passed shall be spread in extenso upon the records of the Council when adopted. The Council shall provide a well bound book in which shall be copied by the City Clerk all ordinances in the order in which they are passed, which ordinances, when so copied shall be compared with the originals by the Mayor, and shall be signed by him when found correct. Such books shall be indexed so as to show in brief form the substance of the ordinance, and shall be received by all courts and justices in this State as evidence, but the Council may adopt by ordinance properly designating and describing it, a code of laws and ordinances, which when adopted shall be printed in book form, or said Council may designate any committee, or attorney or the City Solicitor, to prepare a code of ordinances for the government of the City of Dunbar, and said Council may by ordinance adopt the code so prepared as a whole and when said ordinance adopting said code shall have been passed by the Council, the said code shall be and become the law and ordinances of said City and may be printed by order of the Council, and the same shall be so received as evidence of what is printed therein, until errors or omissions be affirmatively shown therein.
