[Adopted 12-30-1976 by Ord. No. 159]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the ordinances of the Township of Alloway of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Township Committee, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of Chapters
1 through 117, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Code of the Township of Alloway" and shall hereinafter be known and referred to as the "Code."
This ordinance and the Code shall supersede all other general
and permanent ordinances enacted by the Township Committee prior to
the enactment of this Code, except such ordinances as are hereinafter
expressly saved from repeal or continued in force.
All provisions of this ordinance and the Code shall be in full
force and effect on and after December 30, 1976.
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 Alloway 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 the said Code is in effect.
The Clerk of the Township of Alloway, pursuant to law, shall
cause to be published, in the manner required, a copy of this adopting
ordinance 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.
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 Alloway" 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 loose-leaf book containing
the said Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.
All ordinances of a general and permanent nature adopted subsequent to the date given in §
1-13A and prior to the effective date of this ordinance given in §
1-3 are hereby deemed to be a part of the Code and shall, upon being printed, be included therein. Attested copies of all such legislation shall be temporarily placed in the Code until printed supplements are included.
It shall be the duty of the Clerk, or someone authorized and
directed by him, to keep up-to-date the certified copy of the book
containing the Code required to be filed in his office for use by
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 book containing the Code may be purchased
from the Clerk upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of
the Township Committee, which may also arrange, by resolution, for
procedures for the periodic supplementation thereof.
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 Alloway to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone
violating this section or part of this ordinance shall, upon conviction,
be punishable by a fine not exceeding $500 or by imprisonment not
exceeding 90 days, or both, in the discretion of the court.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances of a general 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 provided.
