§ 10.17 ORDINANCES WHICH AMEND CODE; EFFECT OF NEW ORDINANCES.
   (A)   All ordinances passed subsequent to this code which amend, repeal, or in any way affect this code may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system hereof and printed for inclusion herein.

   (C)   If a new section not heretofore existing in the code is to be added, language substantially similar to the following shall be used: “The Code of Ordinances, Pink Hill, North Carolina, is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered               , which section shall read as follows:....” The new section shall then be set out in full as desired.
   (D)   All sections, articles, chapters, or provisions desired to be repealed must be specifically repealed by section, article, or chapter number, as the case may be.
