--- (1) --- Editor's note— This part contains special acts relating to the Town of West Warwick. Only those acts of general and prospective effect are included. A table following the compilation shows the acts not included and the reasons for their omission.
Each act is set out in a separate article, and the articles are in chronological order. The sequence of sections within each article is the same as in the act comprising it. A history note in parentheses following each section cites the original source of the section and any subsequent amendments. Amendments have been worked into their proper places and amended or repealed provisions deleted.
The editors have added catchlines in boldface print preceding each section.
It should be noted that Section 2111 of the Town Charter (included in Part I) provides that special acts of the General Assembly pertaining to the granting of tenure to certain officers in town government enacted prior to the effective date of the Charter are superseded by applicable provisions of the Charter, provided that those officers who have been granted tenure under the special acts shall continue to enjoy such tenure as if such act had remained in effect; and that all other special acts or parts thereof pertaining to the town which are in conflict with provisions of the Charter shall are superseded by Charter provisions.
