Section 177.00. Laws repealed; legislative intent

a. Of the laws enumerated
  in  schedule A annexed hereto, that portion specified in the last column
  is hereby repealed.
    b. It is the intent of the legislature, in enacting such  schedule  of
  repeals,  specifically  to  repeal  such laws as may be obsolete or have
  been superseded by the other sections of this chapter so as to harmonize
  the statutes of the state and the local laws of the municipalities  with
  the  local  finance  law,  thus  avoiding  ambiguity  and uncertainty in
  construing the laws under which the municipalities, school districts and
  district corporations conduct their fiscal affairs.
