Ê may adopt it by reference with such changes as may be necessary to make it applicable to conditions in the city, and with such other changes as may be desirable, without the necessity of reading the code at length. The code, upon adoption, need not be published if an adequate number of copies of the code, either typewritten or printed, with the changes, if any, have been filed for use and examination by the public in the office of the city clerk. Notice of the filing must be given by one publication in a newspaper in the city, if there is one, otherwise in some newspaper published in the county with a general circulation in the city, and the copies must be filed, at least 10 days before the passage of the ordinance.
