The catchlines of the several sections of this Code printed in boldface are intended as mere catchwords to indicate the contents of the section and shall not be deemed or taken to be titles of such section, nor any part of the section, nor, unless expressly so provided, shall they be so deemed when any of such sections, including the catchlines, are amended or reenacted.

(b)

The provisions appearing in this Code, so far as they are the same as those of ordinances existing at the time of the effective date of this Code, shall be considered as a continuation thereof and not as new enactments.
