NO PERMIT will be issued to move a building into the Village of Port Burwell until said build-
ing has been examined by the building inspector and permission granted by him.

steps as are in his opinion necessary to avert such danger and all costs incurred thereby shall be borne

shall cause to be erected on the street line adjacent to any building being constructed, altered or re-
paired or wrecked, a suitable type board fence at least six feet in height and with sufficient overhead

oath or affirmation of any creditable witness, forfeit and pay, at the discretion of the Magistrate or
Justice of the Peace convicting, a penalty not exceeding the sum of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for each
