at the expense of the owner thereof, with approved sewer and water
connections to existing public sanitary sewer and water systems of
the Village or of any district therein, all such work being done solely
by the Village and all such material being furnished solely by the

Inspection and revocation of license. If any representative
of the Village, above listed, upon inspection shall find that such
house trailer or other abode is not being maintained in a clean and
sanitary condition or that it is not being conducted in accordance
with the ordinances and regulations applicable to such abodes, he
shall serve upon the holder of such license an order in writing directing
that the conditions therein specified shall be remedied within five
days after the service of such order. If, after the expiration of
such period, such conditions remain unchanged or are not corrected
in accordance with the order of such representative, the Village Clerk
shall serve a notice in writing upon such owner of house trailer or
other abode, requiring the holder of such license to appear before
the Village Board at a time to be specified in such notice, not less

The Village Board may, after a hearing at which the testimony and
witnesses of the Village representative and of the holder of such

in the original order have not been corrected in accordance with the
terms of such order or if the holder of such license has violated
any of the ordinances or the regulations applicable to such house
trailer or other abode, or for any other sufficient and reasonable
cause. Upon such revocation of such license, the premises shall forthwith
cease to be used for the purpose of a house trailer or other abode.

The issuance of a license under this chapter for a house trailer or other abode shall not be construed to eliminate the necessity of complying fully with all other applicable ordinances and health regulations of the Village. Trailer camps which comply in every respect with all other provisions of this chapter shall be further limited as to location within the industrial zone. House trailers and other abodes must be kept in orderly, clean and sanitary condition at all times. Any addition to the exterior of any such trailer or other abode listed in § 91-2 of this chapter by construction, attachment or installation, increasing its capacity or facilities, shall be deemed sufficient grounds for revocation of license.
