The Bunker Hill Ordinance Book has been reproduced in this form for easy reference. In no sense, however, should this reproduction be considered an official document or replacement for the original. Where questions arise, please refer to the original Ordinance Materials in the Town Hall of Bunker Hill, Indiana. That book - the original - shall be the reference source for any and all material disputes.
This reproduction of the Ordinance Book attempts to duplicate the various styles from the original - within reason. In most cases, paragraph delineation and page formatting have been preserved. Font variations have been duplicated where practical (bold, italics, all capitals, etc.) but have not been adjusted to match various typewriters.
Spelling has been corrected in many cases to present a reproduction that is accurate to the intent of the original. In some cases, spelling corrections were necessary to insure that word seaches via this application would not miss important documents.
During the reproduction process, certain standards have been developed:

For backward references such as an ordinance that amends or repeals an earlier ordinance, the link typically uses the text as found. More specific references to section numbers or paragraphs, for example, allow for more specific links. | Example... |
| Forward references do not contain text to represent the linkage; ordinances do not contain references to the future ordinances that will amend or repeal them. Therefore, Editor's Notes (below) are used to denote complementary forward links. | Example... |
| When text has been added to a document - whether for clarification or to indicate a forward link - that text is indicated by an "Editor's Note". The notes are typically delineated as such, but are also in red. Note that links within a note will use the standard link color, although they are clearly contained within the note. | Example... |
| When text has been replaced by an amendment, the replaced text is marked by a
