keep, raise or maintain, or permit to be kept, raised or maintained,
at or upon any premises owned, controlled or occupied by him, in the
Township, any swine, more than five in number, without first having
procured from the Township Board of Health a permit for that purpose.
Any permit may be revoked at any time by the Board of Health when
such revocation shall appear to the Board of Health to be necessary
for the public health, safety, or if there be a refusal to comply
with the provisions of this chapter.
A fee as set forth in Chapter
139, Fees, will be charged for the permit. An additional fee shall be charged for every reinspection made necessary by the permittee's failure to comply with the provisions of this chapter.

shall state the location of the premises on which the swine are proposed
to be kept, the name and address of the owner and operator of the
premises, and the number of swine proposed to be kept on the premises
pursuant to such permit. No permit shall be issued for a longer period
than one year.
No permit shall be required for the offspring
of female swine lawfully upon any premises until such offspring attains
the age of two months, at which time such offspring shall be subject
to this chapter.
Nothing in this chapter shall affect or cover
the premises where less than five swine are kept and maintained.
Garbage or other similar matter brought into
the Township, usually in connection with the raising and feeding of
swine, shall be transported only in watertight containers.
