Preface

This volume constitutes the first revision and codification of the
general ordinances of the City of Charlottesville since 1932. It
contains the Charter of the city, as amended to the date of this
publication, and such of the ordinances of a general and permanent
nature in effect on the date of the adoption of this Code as were
found desirable for retention.

The ordinances were codified, edited and indexed by the Editorial
Staff of Michie City Publications Company, Charlottesville,
Virginia, under the supervision of A. Hewson Michie, Chas. W.
Sublett, W. M. Willson and Samuel G. Alrich. Special recognition
is due Miss Elsie K. Dunn of the publishers' secretarial staff
for her very able work during the preparation of this publication.

The publishers wish to express appreciation to Mr. Lyttelton
Waddell, City Attorney, for his assistance and co-operation
throughout the course of the work. The publishers also acknowledge
appreciation for the assistance received from Mr. James E.
Bowen, Clerk of the Council.

The new City Code is presented to the officials and citizens of
the City of Charlottesville in the belief that it will merit their approval.

It is now a recognized fact that if any City Code is to accomplish
its intended purpose it must be kept up to date by means of an adequate
supplemental service. Accordingly, the publishers point
out the advisability and the necessity of keeping this present Code
up to date by means of the pocket supplement service, provision
for which has been made in the inside back cover of each volume.
