It is hereby declared to be the intention of the Board of Aldermen that the chapters, sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, and phrases of this code are severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or chapter of this code shall be declared unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, sections, and chapters of this code since the same would have been enacted by the Board of Aldermen without the incorporation in this code of any such unconstitutional or invalid phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section.
(Prior Code, § 100.140)
