a time to be specified in such notice to show cause why such mobile home permit
should not be revoked. The Town Board may, after a hearing at which testimony
of witnesses may be taken and the person so served shall be heard, revoke
such permit if the Town Board shall find that said mobile home is not being
maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or if it finds that any provision
of this chapter has been violated or for any other sufficient cause. Upon
the revocation of such permit, said mobile home shall be removed forthwith
from the premises and disconnected from its water supply and sewage disposal
system.
