Each such police officer shall place upon such vehicle a notice to the owner or operator thereof that such vehicle was parked in violation of a provision of this Chapter 228 and instructing such owner or operator that, if he shall report to the Police Headquarters of Lower Pottsgrove Township and pay, for the use of the Township, the sum of $10 within 72 hours after the time of such notice, the same shall save such violator from prosecution and from payment of the fine and costs hereinafter provided.
