The Administrator of the Village of Greenville shall cause notice of the passage of this ordinance to be given in the manner required by law.

Each section of this ordinance and of the Code and every part
of each section is an independent section or part of a section, and

or circumstances is held invalid, the remainder of this Code and the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall
not be affected thereby.
