prior to the enactment of this Code, except such ordinances as are
hereinafter expressly saved from repeal or continued in force.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately
upon passage and publication according to law.
A copy of the Code in loose-leaf form has been
filed in the office of the Township Clerk and shall remain there for
use and examination 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 Township of Cinnaminson by impressing
thereon the Seal of the Township, as provided by law, and such certified
copy shall remain on file in the office of the Clerk of the Township,
to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same during
all times while said Code is in effect.
Any and all additions, amendments or supplements
to the Code, when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the
intent of the governing body to make them a part thereof, shall be
deemed to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the
"Code of the Township of Cinnaminson" shall be understood and intended
to include such additions and amendments. Whenever such additions,
amendments or supplements to the Code shall be adopted, they shall
thereafter be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the

thereto.

to law, shall cause this Adopting Ordinance to be published, in the
manner required, in a newspaper of general circulation in the Township.
Sufficient copies of the Code shall be maintained in the office of
the Clerk for inspection by the public at all times during regular
office hours. The enactment and publication of this Adopting Ordinance,
coupled with availability of copies of the Code for inspection by
the public, shall be deemed, held and considered to be due and legal
publication of all provisions of the Code for all purposes.
It shall be the duty of the Clerk or someone
authorized and directed by the Clerk to keep up-to-date the certified
copy of the book containing the Code required to be filed in his or
her office for the use of the public. All changes in said Code and
all ordinances adopted subsequent to the effective date of this codification
which shall be adopted specifically as part of the Code shall, when
finally adopted, be included therein by reference until such changes
or new ordinances are printed as supplements to said Code book, at
which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the Code, or any chapter or portion
of it, may be purchased from the Clerk, or an authorized agent of
the Clerk, upon the payment of a fee to be set by the Township Committee.
The Clerk may 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 Township of Cinnaminson to be misrepresented
thereby. Anyone violating this section or any part of this ordinance

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.

section, and the holding of any section or part thereof to be unconstitutional,

with the provisions contained in the Code adopted by this ordinance
are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only
be to the extent of such inconsistency, and any valid legislation
