all purposes.
Any and all additions, amendments or supplements
to the Code, when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the

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 Township 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 Township of Saddle Brook 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 $500 or imprisonment
for not more than 90 days, or both, in the discretion of the Judge
imposing the same.
