[Ord. #172, § 1]
This section is adopted for the preservation
of the public health, welfare and safety in that old or deteriorating
vehicles, machinery and other junk are not merely unsightly but are
attractive to young children who may be injured when playing in the
neighborhood, and also breed disease when becoming infested with vermin
and trapping foul water. It is the objective of this section to remove
the causes of such effects.
As used in this section:
AUTOMOTIVE JUNK
Shall be included in the word "junk" and shall include and
mean all fully assembled or dismantled automobiles, motorcycles, trucks,
motor vehicles, tractors and other vehicles propelled by other than
muscular power and capable of transporting passengers or merchandise
when assembled. For the purpose of this chapter, the term "dismantled"
shall mean taken apart or made unusable for its original purpose.
GARAGE
Shall mean any building in which a motor vehicle is or may
be stored.
JUNK
Shall mean any apparatus or device, of whatever material,
or any part or parts thereof, which may be discarded or be placed

and permission of the owner of such land or property shall be deemed
discarded junk.
PUBLIC LANDS
