If the owner, tenant or person in charge shall fail to remove the
brush, weeds, dead and dying trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths,
filth, garbage, trash, debris or other articles within the time required
by the notice, then the Chief of the Fire Department and the Health
Officer or Inspector or any officer stated hereinabove may remove
or cause or arrange for the removal of the articles. The officer causing
the removal shall keep an accurate account of the cost thereof and
shall certify the cost and expense to the Township Committee, which
shall examine the certification. If the Township Committee shall find
the same correct, the cost shall be charged against the lands upon
which the articles are located and from which they were removed. A
statement of the cost shall forthwith be furnished by the Township
Clerk to the Collector of Taxes, and the cost shall forthwith become
a lien upon the lands where the violation existed and shall be added
to, become and form part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied
upon the lands, to bear interest at the same rate as taxes, and the
lien shall be collected and enforced in the same manner as taxes,
pursuant to the statutes governing the subject matter.
