enacted prior to the enactment of this Code, except such ordinances
as are expressly saved from repeal or continued in force and effect

All provisions of this ordinance and the Code
shall take effect 30 days after the date of the first publication.
A copy of the Code in loose-leaf form has been

copy shall remain on file in the office of the Secretary of the Board
of Health, 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 Board of Health 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 South Hackensack" 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

thereto.

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 Secretary 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

all purposes.
It shall be the duty of the Secretary, or someone
authorized and directed by the Secretary, to keep up-to-date the certified
copy of the book containing the Code required to be filed in the Secretary's
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.
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 Board of Health to be misrepresented
thereby. Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall be
subject, upon conviction, to a fine of not less than $5 nor more than
$500.
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 section or parts thereof.

adopted by the Board of Health 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
