On and after the passage of this article, it shall be the duty
of each and every owner, trustee, lessee, agent and occupant of each
and every house, building or other principal structure in the Borough
of Clearfield to display its existing number or cause the same to
be numbered in accordance with this article.
The numbers shall be placed in a conspicuous place on every
house, building or other principal structure in a conspicuous manner
so that said numbers can be readily seen and read from the street

such number.
The Borough Administrative Officer is hereby authorized to assign
a number to any house, building or other principal structure which
is unnumbered. Such numbers shall be assigned in a manner consistent
with the existing numbers on other structures in the vicinity.
When numbering is displayed as required by this article, the
owner, trustee, lessee, agent and occupant of any house, building
or principal structure may also display the same numbers by script
or other style of artistic or decorative numbers in such location
and manner that will not conceal, confuse or otherwise detract from
the display of the numbers required by this article.
Any person or persons, firm or corporation who shall fail or
neglect to display their house or building number in accordance with
this article within 30 days after formal notification, in writing,
by the Borough Administrative Officer shall, upon conviction, pay
a fine of not less than $1 and not more than $25, together with costs
of prosecution; and provided further that each day thereafter that
such violation exists shall be considered as a separate offense.
Any and all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith
are hereby repealed.
