No person, firm or corporation shall leave outside of any building or
dwelling, in a place accessible to children, any abandoned, unattended or
discarded icebox, refrigerator, freezing unit, chest, or any other container
of a similar kind and size, equipped with tight-fitting door or doors or such
door-locking or latching devices, unless such door or doors or such door-locking
or latching devices, or both, have first been removed therefrom in such a
manner that said icebox, refrigerator, freezing unit, chest or container would
thereby become so dismantled as to be harmless to children who might otherwise
become locked or trapped therein.
Any person, firm or corporation who violates any provision of this chapter
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not less than $10

months, or both such fine and imprisonment. The imposition of all penalties
for any violation of this chapter shall not excuse the violation or permit
it to continue. The application of the above penalty or penalties or the prosecution
of the violation of the provisions of this chapter shall not be held to prevent
the enforced removal of conditions prohibited by this chapter.
This chapter shall take effect 10 days after publication thereof, as
provided by law.
