No person shall participate in any parade, procession,
assembly or meeting upon any highway, street, lane, alley, way, sidewalk
or public square of the Borough of Lititz which interferes with or
excludes other citizens in their legal rights in the use thereof,
unless a permit has been procured therefor as hereinafter provided.
All parades, processions and assemblages or
meetings occupying, marching or assembling upon any highway, street,
lane, alley, way, sidewalk or public square of the Borough of Lititz
to the interference or exclusion of other citizens in their legal
rights in the use thereof are forbidden unless written notice of the
character, time, place and route of such procession or parade and
the names of the officers of same are given by the chief officer or
person(s) in charge thereof, not less than seven days prior to its
forming, to the Mayor of the Borough of Lititz, and, in case of assemblages
or meetings, seven days' notice of the object, time and place of such
meetings or assemblages shall be given to said Mayor by the person,
association, firm or corporation making the application for the permit
as hereinafter provided. In pursuance of the aforesaid requirements,
and for the purpose of preventing interference with and obstruction
of the lawful use of said highways, streets, lanes, alleys, ways,
sidewalks or public squares of said Borough of Lititz and the preservation
of peace and good order, the Mayor shall have the power to designate
by permit the time and place of such assemblages or meetings and,
as to such processions or parades, how much of the streets, lanes,
alleys, ways, sidewalks or public squares they will occupy and the
time they will start. The length of time of such parade or procession
shall be determined by the Mayor, and, when so designated and approved,
the person, association, firm or corporation to whom or to which a
permit has been given shall be held responsible for the violation
of any designation or limitation mentioned in said permit.
Any person, association, firm or corporation
who or which shall violate the provisions of this chapter shall, upon
conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine not to exceed the maximum
fine of $300, plus costs of prosecution, and in default of payment
of such costs and prosecution, imprisonment for a term not exceeding
30 days; provided, however, that if the District Justice determines
that the defendant is without the financial means to pay the fines
and costs immediately or in a single remittance, such defendant shall
be permitted to pay the fines or costs in installments and over such
periods of time as the District Justice deems to be just.
