"(vi) Whenever the conditions giving rise to the establishment of the National Highway Emergency Conservation Policy improve so that the federal maximum highway speed limits are increased or rescinded, the Council of the Village of Mayfield shall increase any maximum speed limit that has been lowered under Section 19(g)(iv) of this Section to the applicable maximum limit authorized by Section 4511.21 of the Revised Code or to the applicable maximum limit authorized by National policy, whichever is lower. "(vii) When a speed in excess of the limit ofi Section 19(g)(i) of the Reuised Code is alleged, the defendant shall be charged in a single Affidavit, alleging a single act, with a violation indicated of both this Section and Section 19(g)(iv) of Ordinance No. 810 of the Village of Pfayfield. If the Court finds a violation of Section 19(g)(i) of the Ordinance has occurred, it shall enter a judgment of conviction under such Section and dismiss the charge under Section 19(g)(iv). If it finds no violation of Section 19(g)(i) of the Ordinance, it shall then con- sider whether the evidence supports a conviction under Section 19(g)(iv):' Section 2. This Ordinance is hereby deemed to be an emergency measure, nec- essary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety of the Village of Mayfield and its inhabitants. The reason. for such necessity lies in the fact that the Federal Emergency Energy Conservation Act requires each state to adopt locaer speed limits provided for in this Act no later than March 3, 1974 to alleviate the effects of the energy crisis that has developed in this Nation. Accordingly, the Village of Mayfield must adopt the lower speed limits which have now been established by the State of Ohio. This Ordinance shall go into immediate effect.
