Codified Ordinance - Johnstown Borough - 1861: Any person who shall keep or suffer to remain on his premises or upon any private property, any dead carcass, garbage, offal, putrid meat, nauseous liquor, or other offense or unwholesome matter, or shall cast the same on any vacant lot, or upon any square, lot, or piece of ground belonging to the borough, or on any street or alley, or on the shores or margins of either rivers within the borough, or so near the limits thereof as to annoy and be offensive, the same is hereby declared to be a common nuisance, and shall be removed accordingly, and the person offending shall forfeit and pay for each offense, besides the expenses of removing the same, the sum of not less than five dollars nor more than twenty dollars.
This ordinance needs to be re-enforced in Moxham. Some of those alleys are a disgrace.
