     § 1953.  Construction of amendatory statutes.
        Whenever a section or part of a statute is amended, the
     amendment shall be construed as merging into the original
     statute, become a part thereof, and replace the part amended,
     and the remainder of the original statute and the amendment
     shall be read together and viewed as one statute passed at one
     time; but the portions of the statute which were not altered by
     the amendment shall be construed as effective from the time of
     their original enactment, and the new provisions shall be
     construed as effective only from the date when the amendment
     became effective.
