Nothing herein contained shall apply to the delivery of newspapers
or addressed envelopes.
No person, organization, firm or corporation shall distribute
or cause to be distributed any advertising matter, circulars, samples
of merchandise, handbills or other advertising matter or devices within
the Borough of Narberth without first having obtained a permit for
the same at the Borough office. The permit fee for each person distributing
shall be the fee as set from time to time by resolution of the Narberth
Borough Council, and permits shall expire after 48 hours from issuance.
No permit shall be issued except upon the condition that the
distribution of said advertising matter, handbills, circulars or other

shall, upon being found liable therefor, pay a fine of not more than
$600, plus court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by
the Borough in the enforcement proceedings. If the penalty is not
paid, the Borough shall initiate a civil action for collection in

a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense, and each section
of this chapter that is violated shall also constitute a separate
offense. In addition to or in lieu of enforcement under this section,
the Borough may enforce this chapter in equity in the Court of Common
Pleas of Montgomery County.
