This ordinance and the Code shall supersede all general and
permanent ordinances enacted 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 City 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 City of Hoboken 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 Clerk of the City, 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
City of Hoboken" 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
said Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.
The Clerk of the City of Hoboken, 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 City. 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 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 book containing the Code may be purchased
from the Clerk upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of
the City Council, 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 City of Atlantic City to be misrepresented thereby.
Anyone violating this section or part of this ordinance shall be subject,
upon conviction, to a fine of not more than $1,000 or to imprisonment
for not more than 90 days, or both, 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.

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.
