the applicable regulations governing the advertising of any raffle
occurring in the Borough.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 5:8-31, raffles are authorized to any organization
qualified herein to be conducted on Sundays.
The number of Sunday raffles as permitted shall be unlimited,
provided that the tickets are sold only on premises and on the day
of the drawing. In the event that tickets for raffles are sold or
offered for sale any day prior to the event, the number of Sunday
raffles shall be limited to one per month.
Each applicant for a Sunday raffle license shall file with the
Municipal Clerk a written application therefor in the form prescribed
by the rules and regulations which shall be duly executed and verified
and in which shall be stated the name and address of the applicant
together with sufficient facts relating to its incorporation or organization
in order to enable the Borough Council to determine whether or not
