All ordinances, as soon after their passage, shall be recorded in a book kept for that purpose and authenticated by the signature of the Mayor and Town Clerk. All ordinances of a general or permanent nature, and those imposing any fine or forfeiture, shall be published in a newspaper published within the Town, or if there is none, in some newspaper of general circulation in the Town. Such ordinances shall not take effect until thirty (30) days after such publication, except for ordinances calling for special elections or necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety and containing the reasons making the same necessary in a separate section. The excepted ordinances shall take effect upon their final passage, adoption and the approval and signature of the Mayor, if they are adopted by an affirmative vote of three-fourths (3/4) of the members of the Board of Trustees. (Ord. 348 § 1, 1992)
