or continued in force.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage and
publication according to law.

by the public until final action is taken on this ordinance; and,
if this ordinance shall be adopted, such copy shall be certified to
by the Clerk of the City of East Orange by impressing thereon the

remain on file in the office of the Clerk of the City, to be made
available to persons desiring to examine the same during all times
while said Code is in effect.

when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the intent of

for the use of the public. All changes in said Code and all ordinances
adopted subsequent to the effective date of this codification which

ordinances are printed as supplements to said Code book, at which
time such supplements shall be inserted therein.

purchased from the Clerk, or an authorized agent of the Clerk, upon
the payment of a fee authorized by the City. The Clerk shall also
arrange for procedures for the periodic supplementation of the Code.
It shall be unlawful for anyone to improperly change or amend,
by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code or to alter
or tamper with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause
the law of the City of East Orange to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone
violating this section or any part of this ordinance shall be subject,
upon conviction, to one or more of the following: a fine of not more
than $2,000, imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a period of
community service not exceeding 90 days, in the discretion of the
Judge imposing the same.
Each section of the Code and every part of each section is an
independent section or part of a section, and the holding of any section
or a part thereof to be unconstitutional, void or ineffective for
any cause shall not be deemed to affect the validity or constitutionality
of any other sections or parts thereof.
