or adjudication shall not affect the remaining portions of this ordinance which shall
remain in full force and effect as if the portion so declared or adjudged invalid or

Section 4. Emergency. The Board of Directors believes that consistency in
the enforcement of the sale of alcoholic bevereages in the various hotels, motels and
restaurants within the City is essential to the public health, safety and welfare, but
that such consistency is not now in place because of different practices and rules. An
emergency is, therefore, declared to exist and this ordinance shall be in full force and
effect from and after the date of its passage.
