EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 155

execution, and for closing the premises and keeping them closed
a reasonable sum shall be allowed by the Court.

136-F. That the proceeds of the sale of the personal prop-
erty, as provided in the preceding Section, shall be applied in
the payment of the costs of the action and abatement, and the
balance, if any, shall be paid to the owner of such property.
136-G. That if the owner of the premises appears and pays
all costs of the proceeding and files a bond, with sureties, to be
approved by the Court or the Clerk thereof, in the full value of
the property, to be ascertained by the Court, conditioned that
he will immediately abate such nuisance and prevent the same
from being established or kept within a period of one year
thereafter, the Court may, if satisfied of his good faith, order
the premises closed under the order of abatement to be deliv-
ered to said owner and said order of closure canceled so far as
the same may relate to said property; and if said bond be given
and said costs paid before decree and order of abatement, the
action shall be thereby abated as to said building only. The
release of the property under the provisions of this Section shall
not release it from any judgment, lien, penalty, or liability to
which it may be subject by law.

136-H. Whenever a permanent injunction issues against
any person for maintaining a nuisance as herein defined, or
against any owner or agent of the building kept or used for the
purpose prohibited by this Act, there shall be entered as part
of the decree upon the said building and the ground upon which
the same is located and against the person or persons maintain-
ing said nuisance, and the owner or agent of said premises, an
order for the payment of three hundred dollars, and the same
shall be and remain a lien on the land until fully paid. The
payment of said sum shall not relieve the persons or property
from any other penalties provided by law, and the said amount
when collected shall be applied in payment of any deficiency in
the costs of the action and abatement on behalf of the State to
the extent of such deficiency after the application thereto of the
proceeds of the sale of personal property as hereinbefore pro-
vided, and the payment of a reasonable fee to be fixed by the
Court to the attorney representing the State in the injunction
action at the time of the final decree.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act is and it is
hereby declared to be an emergency law and necessary for the
immediate; preservation of the public health and safety.
