        Section 1.  The act, approved the fourteenth day of May, one
     thousand nine hundred forty-nine (Pamphlet Laws 1340), entitled
     "An act requiring political subdivisions to file copies of
     zoning ordinances, together with maps or plans indicating the

     ordinances, in the recorder's office; invalidating zoning
     ordinances heretofore adopted unless copies thereof, together
     with maps, are filed within a certain time; and imposing duties
     and conferring powers on recorders of deeds," and all acts
     amending said act are hereby repealed.
        Section 2.  Whenever heretofore any political subdivision
     authorized to adopt a zoning ordinance or amendment thereto has

     of the political subdivision or parts thereof and statements
     concerning type and kinds of restrictions or regulations for
