[1997 Code § 373-22]
Every building which may be hereafter constructed in Absecon
City in which any horses, mules or cows are stabled or kept shall
be so constructed that no water or liquid shall stand under or adjoining

will allow absorption of liquids to that grade.
[1997 Code § 373-23]
Horses, mules or cows in any stable will not be permitted to
stand on the ground, but floors of such stables shall be floored with

or cement, if provision is made to drain the liquid to the sewer or
to a sanitary cesspool.
[1997 Code § 373-24]
Any existing stable, after this chapter shall have become effective,
shall conform to the requirements of this Article. If water stands
under or around the ground or if such animals stand on the grounds
of any such stable, the owner of which has been notified to comply
with the requirements of this Article and who neglects or refuses
to do so, the stable shall be declared unfit for use and shall be
closed by the Board of Health and remain closed until such notice
has been complied with; this shall be in addition to the penalty provided
in this Article.

of throwing manure on the open ground is hereby prohibited. All manure,
on being removed from the stable, shall be deposited in a box or water-
and fly-proof receptacle, as approved by the Board of Health, the
sides of which shall be flyproof and which shall be covered with a
tight-fitting cover, placed at such an angle that rainwater will run
off. Any manure thrown on the ground shall be covered with sand at
least two inches thick.
