I don't know.  "Cities are neither part of nor subordinate to towns
except for the city of Sherrill, which for some purposes is treated as
if it were a village of the town of Vernon."

If you're going to use 7 and 8, wouldn't 7 be city/town, and 8 be
village?  (Or, IMO more consistent with the rest of the US,
8=city/town and 9=village)?
