145. They shall have power to establish building lines in all the streets
and highways in said town, or which shall hereafter be opened therefor,
and to compel all persons erecting buildings in said town to conform
thereto, under such penalties as they may prescribe by ordinance, but no-
buildings shall hereafter be erected for the purpose of a stable or privy
or a place of confinement of any livestock within one hundred feet of any
existing public street or highway in said town. Any person or persons
violating this last section shall, on conviction, pay a fine of not less than

146. No person shall permit his horses, mules, hogs or cattle of any
kind to run at large outside of his own enclosure within the limits of the
said town; any person violating the aforegoing provisions of this section

the justice of the peace or the circuit court shall be considered as in the

property levied upon in pursuance of this Act shall not be subject to any
