Section 114-7 of Montour Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 114 establishes two structural rules for the article as a whole. First, if any individual section is found unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective by a court or authority, the rest of the article remains fully in force. Second, if this article conflicts with any other local law or ordinance, the provisions of this article take precedence over those other local rules.
