No person or persons owning or having care of
any domestic fowls, swine, cows or other animals, with the exception

If after due notice to the Health Officer of any violation of § 78-1 said officer does not enforce the provisions of said section, it shall be deemed a cause for his removal by the City Council, and said Health Officer shall also be liable by punishment of a fine not exceeding $20 for each offense for his failure to act.
