the manner indicated in this section; but no street or alley
given or dedicated shall be considered to be under the control
of or be kept in repair by the Mayor or Town Council and
at their expense unless said street or alley had been previously
accepted by them. The Mayor and Town Council may enact
all ordinances from time to time not contrary to law neces-
sary and proper to the exercise of the power granted in this
section; provided, that before opening or closing any street
or alley at least twenty days notice shall be given them of

such ordinance by notice posted in at least three public places,
or by two weekly insertions in one newspaper published in
Prince George's County.

SEC. 10. The Mayor and Town Council may by Ordinance
provide such fines, penalties and forfeitures for breach of their

in the case of non-payment of such fines, penalties and for-
feitures that the offender be imprisoned in the town lock-up
or county jail for a period not exceeding sixty days. All per-
sons violating any ordinance passed by the Mayor and Town
Council shall be tried before a Justice of the Peace of the
Eighteenth (Seat Pleasant) District as such persons would be

power to regulate business therein by requiring a license
therefor and may charge a fee for such license not exceeding
