Any person violating any provision of this article shall, upon
conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $300,
and costs of prosecution, or, in default of payment of such fine and

that each violation of any provision of this article, and each day
the same is continued, shall be deemed a separate offense.
