of designating the space for which said parking meter is to be used,
and each vehicle parked or placed alongside of or next to any parking
meter shall be parked or placed within the lines or markings so established.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article to park or place
any vehicle across any such line or marking or to park or place said

hood or foremost part of such vehicle alongside of and/or next to
the parking meter alongside of such parking space in parallel parking
spaces and with the radiator of such vehicle directed toward such
parking meter in diagonal parking spaces. In either event such vehicle
shall be parked within the lines marked on the pavement for such parking
purposes as provided herein.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of the
provisions of this article to deposit or cause to be deposited in
any parking meter in the Village of Endicott, New York, any slug device
or metallic substitute or any substitute or mutilated coin for a coin

It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article
for any person to permit a vehicle to remain or to be placed in any

while said meter is displaying a signal showing that such vehicle
shall have been already parked or occupying such space beyond the
period of time fixed by this chapter for such parking space unless
the necessary coin is deposited in the meter as provided herein and

such parking space beyond the parking limit fixed by this chapter
for such parking space, the parking meter shall display a sign showing
illegal parking and, in that event, such vehicle shall be considered
as parked overtime and beyond the limit fixed by this chapter; and
the parking of a vehicle or its occupancy of such parking space overtime
or beyond the period of time now or hereafter fixed by this chapter
or any amendment thereto shall be a violation of this chapter and
punished as hereinafter set forth. It shall be unlawful for any person
to cause, allow, permit or suffer any such vehicle registered in his
name to be parked or to occupy such parking space overtime or beyond

event said Superintendent of Public Works shall keep a record of the
time spent by such person or persons in repairing, maintaining and
otherwise supervising such parking meters. From such record the Superintendent
of Public Works shall render to the Board of Trustees a semiannual
statement or claim of the cost of such repairing, maintaining and
supervising such parking meters, and, upon audit of such statement
or claim, the Village Treasurer shall reimburse and transfer from
the Parking Meter Fund the amount of such claim to the fund or funds
from which such person or persons were originally paid.

and in full satisfaction of such violation, an amount equivalent to
$5 multiplied by the number of periods of parking time established

occupied such parking space in violation of any of the provisions
of this article. The failure of such owner to make such payments to
the Police Court of the Village of Endicott, New York, within said
three days shall render such owner subject to the penalties hereinafter
provided for a violation of the provisions of this article.
