duty it will be to enforce all the provisions of this chapter and to enforce
any and all laws which have for their object the preservation of the public

any dog is vicious or if it molests pedestrians or others without provocation,
it is hereby declared a public nuisance and a source of danger to public health.
Such dogs shall not be allowed to run at large or come in contact with children
or any persons other than the immediate family of the owner's household, unless
said dog is completely muzzled or on a leash, accompanied by a responsible
person. No dog or dogs shall be allowed or bathed on public beaches or docks.
No dog or dogs shall be permitted in or about any store or any other public
place in the Township of Jefferson.
Whenever the provisions, regulations and restrictions set forth in this

of the facts in any hardship case, may, at its own discretion, waive for the
particular case any of the provisions, regulations and restrictions as above-mentioned.
