It has become a common practice of persons within
Ventnor City to install apparatus and in connection therewith to place,
erect, construct or stretch wires over, across, under or beneath or
adjacent to electric light wires which, in case of an accident, would
become detached or otherwise or might come into contact with high-tension
current and cause injury to property or life. This practice is dangerous,
and it is deemed advisable, necessary and proper to guard against
and protect against such dangers.
[Amended 2-2-1989 by Ord. No. 8903]
Any person or persons having control of any
wire or apparatus or the building or property whereon the same or
part thereof shall be, upon notice from the City of Ventnor City,
immediately shall remove or cause to be removed any radio wire by
whatsoever name may be designated and upon failure to do so shall
forfeit and pay a penalty of $100 for each and every day the same
will remain thereafter, said penalty to be imposed by the Mayor or
the Municipal Judge of the City before whom such complaint shall be
made, or the City of Ventnor City, by its agent or employee, may remove
the same. In addition to or as a substitute for the previously mentioned
fine, the imposition of community service shall be authorized as an
