shall be in full force and effect in accordance with the applicable
provisions provided by law.

and examination by the public until final action is taken on this
ordinance, and if this ordinance shall be adopted, such a copy shall
be certified by the City Clerk of the City of Bordentown by impressing
thereon the Seal of the City as provided by law, and such certified
copy shall remain on file in the office of the City Clerk to be made
available to persons desiring to examine the same during all times

by resolution of the governing body, which may also arrange, by resolution,
for procedures for the periodic supplements thereof.

Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction, to the penalties contained in § 1-1.
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,
void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the
validity or constitutionality of any other sections or parts thereof.

and permanent nature adopted and in force on the date of the adoption
of this ordinance and not contained in the Code are hereby repealed
as of the effective date of this adopting ordinance, except as hereinafter
