Section 1142. Continuity of powers and duties

Any agency or officer to
  whom are assigned by this charter any powers and duties  shall  exercise
  such  powers  and duties in continuation of their exercise by the agency
  or officer by which the same were heretofore exercised  and  shall  have
  power  to continue any business, proceeding or other matter commenced by
  the agency or officer by which such powers and  duties  were  heretofore
  exercised.   Any provision in any law, rule, regulation, contract, grant
  or other document relating to  the  subject-matter  of  such  powers  or
  duties and applicable to the agency or officer formerly  exercising such
  powers  and duties shall, so far as not inconsistent with the provisions
  of this charter, apply to the agency or officer to which such powers and
  duties are assigned by this charter.
