No person, firm or corporation, the owner, tenant or occupant
of any premises abutting on any street shall throw, place or deposit
any snow or ice into or upon any street in said Township, it being
the intent and purpose of this provision to prohibit all persons from
throwing, casting, placing or depositing snow and ice, which accumulated
within the private property belonging to said person, upon the sidewalks
or streets of the Township of Riverside.
In case such snow or ice shall not be removed from such sidewalks or shall be cast, deposited thereon or placed upon said sidewalks or said streets by the owner or owners, tenant or tenants, occupant or occupants of any said premises, as provided in §§
384-10 and
384-11 hereof, the same shall be removed forthwith under the direction of the Road Foreman, and the cost of such removal as nearly as can be ascertained shall be certified by the Road Foreman to the governing body. The governing body shall examine such certification and if found to be correct shall cause such cost to be charged against such real estate so abutting or bordering upon such sidewalks, and the amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien and a tax upon such real estate or land and be added to, recorded and collected in the same way and manner as the taxes next to be levied and assessed upon such premises and shall bear interest and be enforced and collected by the same officers and in the same manner as other taxes. The imposition and collection of a fine or fines imposed by the provision of this article shall not constitute any bar to the right of the Township of Riverside to collect the cost as certified for the removal of said snow or ice in the manner herein authorized.
