The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of the ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this ordinance, are intended as a continuation of such ordinances and not as new enactments. This ordinance and the Code adopted hereby shall supersede and replace the Code of the Borough of Glassboro, adopted February 25, 2003, by Ord. No. 03-1, as amended and supplemented.

ordinance, such copy shall be certified to by the Clerk of the Borough
of Glassboro by impressing thereon the Seal of the Borough, as provided
by law, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office
of the Borough Clerk, to be made available to persons desiring to
examine the same during all times while said Code is in effect.
B.Â
Additions
or amendments to the Code, when adopted in such form as to indicate
the intent of the Mayor and Council to make them a part thereof, shall
be deemed to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the
"Code of the Borough of Glassboro" shall be understood and intended
to include such additions and amendments.
The Clerk of the Borough of Glassboro shall cause notice of the passage of this ordinance to be given in the manner required by law. The notice of passage of this ordinance coupled with filing of the Code in the office of the Borough Clerk as provided in § 1-2 shall be deemed, held and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions of the Code for all purposes.
Each section of this ordinance and 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 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 parts thereof.
A.Â
Ordinances
or parts of ordinances inconsistent with the provisions contained
in the Code adopted by this ordinance are hereby repealed; provided,
however, that such repeal shall only be to the extent of such inconsistency,
