§ 31.01  ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES.
   Each measure of a general nature hereafter adopted, other than an ordinance of general application limited to a single occasion, wherever practicable, shall be of a form reenacting, revising, supplementing, or amending an appropriate title, chapter or section of this code.  The ordinance, when so adopted, shall become part of this code as though included in its original enactment, and shall constitute a repealer of any previous section or sections intended to be repealed thereby.  The provisions of this section and §§ 31.02 and 31.03 are directory, and failure of Council to comply therewith shall not affect the validity of any ordinance.
