seal of the Township, as provided by law, and such certified copy
shall remain on file in the office of the Clerk of the Township, to
be made available to persons desiring to examine the same during all
times while 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
Township of Jackson 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
said Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.
The Clerk of the Township of Jackson, 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 Township. 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

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,

are printed as supplements to said Code book at which time such supplements
shall be inserted therein.
