A. 
The tendency of tent cities and trailer camps and other such camping grounds is to attract a temporary nomadic congested population living under conditions making difficult the enforcement of police and sanitary regulations and is deemed to constitute a nuisance.

TRAILER CAMP or TENT CITY
Any site or tract of land occupied or used by one or more trailers or tent camps or camp cars or available for such occupancy or use, with or without charge, and shall include any building, structure, tent, camp, cottage or enclosure used or intended for use as part of or in connection with such trailer camp.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to maintain any tent city or trailer camp or similar establishment at any place within the limits of this Township.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed as to such inconsistency only.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon final passage and publication according to law.
