It was moved, seconded and voted that the Town
accept the renumbering and revision of the various bylaws of the Town
from their original numbering or their numbering in the Bylaws to
the numbering or codification, arrangement, sequence and captions
and the comprehensive revisions to the text of the bylaws as set forth
in the Final Draft of the Code of the Town of Dalton, dated May 2007,
said codification having been done under the direction of the Select
Board and Town Counsel, and said Code being a compilation and comprehensive
revision of the present bylaws of the Town. All bylaws of a general
and permanent nature, as amended, heretofore in force and not included
in the Code shall be repealed, except bylaws adopted and approved

any suit or proceeding pending as the result of an existing law, and
such repeal shall not apply to or affect any bylaw, order or article
heretofore adopted accepting or adopting the provisions of any statute
of the commonwealth. These bylaws shall be referred to as the "Code
of the Town of Dalton, Massachusetts."
[Added 10-18-2010 STM by Art. 7]
Nonsubstantive changes to the numbering of the various bylaws
within the Code of the Town of Dalton shall be permitted in order
that the numbering of amendments thereto and other consequent renumbering
changes resulting therefrom be in compliance with the numbering format
of said Code.
