It is hereby declared to be the intention of the mayor and council that the sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and words of this ordinance are severable, and if any word, clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, shall be declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining words, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, and sections of this ordinance, since the ordinance would have been enacted by the mayor and council without the incorporation in this ordinance of any such unconstitutional or invalid word, clause, sentence, paragraph or section, and also shall not affect any constitutional and valid applications of this ordinance to any other person or circumstance.
