Whenever the Mayor, or in his/her absence the President of the
Township Council, declares that a state of emergency exists requiring
the protection of persons or property because of the probability or
imminence of mob or other violence, or other emergency requiring the
prohibiting of the sale of alcoholic beverages, the Mayor or Township
Council President is hereby empowered to issue a proclamation indicating
which licensees shall close their places of business and designating
the period of time or times they shall remain closed. Upon receiving
oral or written, if practicable, notice of such proclamation, the
licensees affected thereby shall promptly obey such proclamation.
If any such licensee fails to do so, the Chief of Police is hereby
empowered to cause such premises to be closed at the expense of the
violator.
