No person or persons, firm, association or corporation
shall hereafter erect, hang or place, or cause or permit to be hereafter
erected, hung or placed over, upon or across any sidewalk in the Village

number of feet from said building which said sign, banner or other
emblem or insignia shall project.
No consent shall hereafter be given by the Board
of Trustees of said Village to the hanging or erection of any such
sign, banner, or other emblem or insignia, nor shall such sign, banner
or other emblem or insignia be hereafter hung or erected, unless such
