A notice of violation of any provision of Article III, §§ 275-23 through 275-26, or Article IV, § 275-34, of this chapter shall be placed on the vehicle parked in violation, such notice to contain instructions to the owner or operator of such vehicle that, if he shall report to the Police Department of the Borough of West View and pay the penalty imposed for such violation within 48 hours after the time of such notice, or if he shall place such sum within the envelope provided in any of the special parking fine boxes installed in various places in the Borough of West View within such time limit, the same shall save the violator from prosecution and from payment of the fine and costs above prescribed.
