(A) In all cases where no provision is herein made defining what are nuisances and how the same may be removed, abated or prevented, in addition to what may be declared such herein, these offenses known to be the common law of the land, in case the same exist within the town limits or within three miles thereof, or if such nuisances are detrimental or dangerous to the health of the town, shall be treated as nuisances and proceeded against as in this chapter provided.
(B) It shall be the duty of the Board of Health, Sanitary Police Officer or Town Marshal, or any member of the Town Council when so required, to notify the author of any nuisance in the town or beyond the town limits, or within three miles thereof, either by a verbal or a written notice to abate such nuisance; provided, such notice shall be required to be served in order to maintain a prosecution for a violation of such ordinance.
(C) If such nuisance is not abated within 24 hours after the notice aforesaid, then it shall become the duty of the Sanitary Police Officer or Board of Health to forthwith file a complaint under oath before the Town Judge setting forth the facts of the violation of any ordinance concerning nuisances, and an action shall forthwith be commenced to enforce the prescribed penalty, and it shall be the duty of the Town Attorney to prosecute the same before the Town Judge.
