Whenever this chapter shall set forth any time for an act to be performed
by or on behalf of the grantee, such time shall be deemed of the essence and
any failure of the grantee to perform within the time allotted shall always
be sufficient ground for the Township to invoke an appropriate penalty including
possible revocation of the franchise.
In any controversy or dispute under this chapter, the law of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania shall apply.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this
chapter or the franchise agreement is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional
by any court of competent jurisdiction, or by any federal, state, or local
statute or regulation, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and
independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions thereof.
Any and all previous ordinances, or parts thereof, including Ordinance
Number 473 in conflict with the provisions of this chapter are hereby specifically
repealed.
This chapter shall become effective five days after the date of enactment, subject to the provisions of §
6-45 herein.
