County to include St. Louis--county clerk to include register of
St. Louis.
1.080. Whenever the word "county" is used in any law,
general in its character to the whole state, it includes the city
of St. Louis, unless such construction is inconsistent with the
evident intent of the law, or of some law specially applicable to
such city. Whenever the county clerk is authorized or required
to perform an act by a law which applies to the city of St. Louis
as well as to the counties of the state, the register of the city
of St. Louis is authorized or required to perform the act insofar
as it is to be performed in the city.
