It shall be unlawful to take off or land a helicopter in Marple Township
for the purpose of passenger, mail or freight delivery without prior approval

welfare would be served by such takeoff or landing.
Takeoff or landing of a helicopter relating to a medical or health emergency
is not considered to be passenger, mail or freight delivery within the meaning
of this chapter and is therefore not prohibited hereby.
Any person, firm or corporation who or which violates any provision
of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable by a fine of
not more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution, and in default of payment
of such fine and costs by imprisonment for not more than 30 days.
