to another place therein or to a place beyond the limits thereof,
or move, or cause to be moved from any place beyond the limits of

Such application shall set forth the name of the permittee as well as the name or names of the owners of the goods to be moved and the address from which the goods are to be moved and the address to which the goods are to be delivered. No permit shall be issued to remove to a place beyond the limits of the Borough, when any taxes due the Borough, other than real estate taxes, or when any charge for services rendered by the Borough, such as water, sewer or garbage services or charges of a similar nature, remain unpaid by the owners of the goods to be moved.
The provisions of this chapter shall be enforced by the Mayor
or Borough Manager or by such officer as may be designated by the
