§ 133. When ordinance shall take effect. Every ordinance and every

amendment to an ordinance hereafter adopted or approved by the town

board of a town to which the provisions of this article are applicable,

shall be entered in its minutes except that it shall not be necessary to

enter in its minutes any map adopted or approved in connection with a

zoning ordinance or amendment. The ordinance or amendment, or a summary

or abstract thereof, shall be published in the official newspaper of the

town or, if there is none, in a newspaper designated by the town board

having general circulation in the town, once, and the affidavit of such

publication shall be filed with the town clerk. Such ordinance or

amendment shall take effect ten days after such publication; but such

ordinance or amendment shall take effect from the date of its service as

against a person served personally with a copy thereof, certified by the

town clerk under the corporate seal of the town; and showing the date of

its passage and entry in the minutes. No ordinance or amendment

previously adopted or approved by any town board of a town to which the

provisions of this article are applicable shall be void for failure of

posting and/or filing affidavits of posting.
