the County of Camden and State of New Jersey:
[Adopted 11-3-1976 by Ord. No. 9-1976]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the ordinances of the Borough of Lawnside, of a general and permanent nature, adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Lawnside, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code Publishers Corp. and consisting of Chapters
1 through
139, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Code of the Borough of Lawnside," hereinafter known and referred to as the "Code."
This ordinance and the Code shall supersede all other 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.
All provisions of this ordinance and the Code shall be in full
force and effect on and after November 3, 1976.
A copy of the Code in loose-leaf form has been filed in the
office of the Borough 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 Borough of Lawnside by impressing thereon the seal
of the borough as provided by law, and such certified copy shall remain
on file in the office of the Clerk of the borough, to be made available
to persons desiring to examine the same during all times while the
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
Borough of Lawnside" 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.
The Clerk of the Borough of Lawnside, 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 borough. 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 him, 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 Mayor and Council, who 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 Borough of Lawnside to be misrepresented thereby.
Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall be subject,
upon conviction, to a fine of not more than $500 or 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.
Each section of this ordinance is an independent 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.

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.
