is designed to advertise any business, though it may contain collateral informational
articles. Seven areas shall be permitted in the rights-of-way and other public
property of the Borough of Stone Harbor for the location of newspaper vending
machines. At each location, not more than 10 vending machines shall be permitted,
and no one newspaper shall be distributed from more than one machine at any
location. At least seven of the 10 vending machines shall be coin-operated.
The Borough of Stone Harbor shall designate and prepare the locations which
