Should any word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or portion of this section 3-1-10 or a franchise be declared to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not affect the validity of this section 3-1-10 or the franchise as a whole, but shall only affect the portion thereof declared to be invalid; and the board hereby expressly states and declares that it would nonetheless have adopted this section 3-1-10 or granted the franchise had it known that any such word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or portion of this section 3-1-10 and/or franchise were invalid.
