In compiling and preparing the ordinances for adoption as part of the Code pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the chapters of the 1988 Code of the Borough of Franklin Lakes which contained Board of Health ordinances were rearranged and renumbered according to the Derivation Table included at the end of the Code. Certain grammatical changes and other minor changes were made in one or more of said ordinances. Throughout the Code the term “Magistrate” has been changed to “Judge,” and the term “Department of Environmental Protection and Energy” has been changed to “Department of Environmental Protection.” It is the intention of the Board of Health that the renumbering and all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances so changed had been previously formally amended to read as such.
