Editor's Note: §§ 74-169 — 74-172 of the former art. V, titled Bicycles, were presented as part of the new art. V set out herein. Due to a scrivener's error, Ord. No. 08-06, adopted Dec. 1, 2008, did not renumber the retained provisions to follow the new items in correct sequential order. Thus, the sections have been renumbered as 74-172 — 74-175 at the editor's discretion.
[Amended 12-1-2008 by Ord. No. 08-06]
In case of change of ownership of a bicycle, and upon proper
notification to the Corunna Police Department, the registration shall
thereupon be changed to show the name of the new owner. In case of

cancelled and identification tag destroyed.
