Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction, to a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $500.
Each section of the Code and every part of each section is an independent section or part of a section, and the holding of any section or a part thereof to be unconstitutional, void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section or parts thereof.
