TITLE 4. Crimes and Punishments
[4-1.] 4-101. Chemically treated paper.
(a) Use etc. unlawful. The sale, use, or possession of chemically treated paper
is a misdemeanor subject [upon] ON conviction to a fine of not less than [two
hundred and fifty dollars ($250)] $250 or to imprisonment for not more than one year,
or to both such fine and imprisonment in the discretion of the court.
(b) Definition. For the purposes of this section, "chemically treated paper" is
paper which (1) has been treated with celluloid and nitrate, or with other substances
or chemicals to give it a high combustibility; or (2) has been treated with substances
or chemicals to give it a high solubility; or (3) has been treated with substances or
chemicals to give it otherwise a quick disposability.
[4-2.] 4-102. Abandonment of building projects.
(a) Restoration work required. Every person, firm, association, or corporation
beginning the construction of a building or outside structure in Carroll County and
subsequently abandoning or terminating the project shall level off, fill in, or
otherwise restore the plot of land being used to a reasonably smooth and even surface,
without projecting portions of construction or unfilled excavations.
(b) Investigation by County Commissioners. Six months following an apparent
abandonment or discontinuance of [such a] THE building or structure, the Board of
County Commissioners shall investigate the situation and ascertain from the person,
firm, association, or corporation which began the construction work if in fact it has
been abandoned or terminated.
(c) Same; order of compliance. If the Board ascertains that the construction
work has in fact been abandoned or terminated, it shall order in writing that the
person, firm, association, or corporation which began the construction work conform
to the requirements of subsection (a) OF THIS SECTION within sixty days after
receiving the order. Failure to comply with this order is a misdemeanor.
(d) Temporary suspension of construction. If the Board ascertains that the
construction work has been only temporarily suspended, for a reason which in the
judgment of the Board is reasonable and probably unavoidable under the building,
financial and other conditions applying to the project, it shall give written notice to
the person, firm, association, or corporation which began the construction, of the
provisions of this section. If the suspension of construction work continues for
additional period of eighteen months from the time of this notification, the
construction work shall be deemed abandoned or terminated, and any further
noncompliance with the requirements of subsection (a) OF THIS SECTION is a
misdemeanor.
(e) Penalty provisions. Any person, firm, association, or corporation convicted
of a misdemeanor under this section is subject to a fine in an amount not in excess of
one hundred dollars, plus the sum of five dollars for each day after conviction during
which non-compliance with subsection (a) OF THIS SECTION continues.
