In compiling and preparing the ordinances of the Borough of

the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Wenonah that all such changes
be adopted as part of the Code of the Borough of Wenonah, County of

been previously formally amended to read as such.
A copy of the Code of the Borough of Wenonah, County of Gloucester,
State of New Jersey in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office
of the Borough Clerk of the Borough of Wenonah and shall remain there
for the use and examination of the public until final action is taken

shall be certified to by the Clerk of the Borough of Wenonah by impressing
thereon the seal of the Borough of Wenonah, as provided by law, and
such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of the Borough
Clerk of the Borough of Wenonah 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
of the Borough of Wenonah, County of Gloucester, State of New Jersey,
when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the intention
of the Mayor and Council to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to
be incorporated into such Code, so that reference to "The Code of
the Borough of Wenonah, County of Gloucester, State of New Jersey"
shall be understood and intended to include such additions and amendments.
Whenever such additions, amendments or supplements to the Code of
the Borough of Wenonah, County of Gloucester, State of New Jersey,
shall be adopted, they shall thereafter be printed and, as provided
hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf book containing the said Code,

public. All changes in said Code and all ordinances adopted by the
Mayor and Council subsequent to the eleventh day of January 1968,
which the Mayor and Council shall adopt specifically as a 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 of the Borough of
Wenonah, County of Gloucester, State of New Jersey, may be purchased
from the Clerk of the Borough of Wenonah, upon the payment of a fee
to be set by resolution of the Mayor and Council, who may also arrange,

to be due and legal publication of all provisions of the Code for
all purposes.
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.
Each section of this ordinance is an independent section and
the holding of any section or part thereof to be unconstitutional,
void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the
validity or constitutionality of any other sections or part thereof.
It shall be unlawful for anyone to improperly change or amend,
by additions or deletions, any part or portion thereof, or to alter
or tamper with such Code in any manner whatsoever, which will cause
the law of the Borough of Wenonah to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone
violating this section of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction,
to a fine of not more than $200 or imprisonment for not more than
90 days, or both in the discretion of the Court imposing the same.
