It shall be unlawful for a person to cast, throw, draw out or deposit

any excrement or filth from vaults or privies on or into any street, lane,
alley, open or enclosed lot, house, outbuilding or other place, spring or
stream of water, or permit or aid in the same being done; and every deposit
as aforesaid shall constitute a separate and distinct offense.
Any person convicted of committing any unlawful act as provided in this
