No such fire shall be started unless the same is a reasonable distance away from any property or building. No such fire shall be allowed to burn on any day except between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month. There shall be no burning of leaves at any time within the Township.
(c) No person shall set fire to, or burn out-of-doors, any combustible material which emits any offensive or obnoxious odor to the annoyance of such person’s neighbors.

It shall be the duty of all tenants or occupants of occupied properties, and the owners or agents in charge of unoccupied properties, abutting on public streets in the Township, not later than thirty hours after snow or sleet has ceased to fall, to clear, or cause to be cleared, a pathway in the sidewalk in front of their respective properties in the event of snow, and to cover the sidewalk with ashes, sawdust or similar material in the event of ice or snow. Such pathway shall be not less than thirty inches in width, shall be thoroughly cleared of snow and ice and, where necessary, shall be covered with ashes, sawdust or similar material.
