1. Sale: In abating such nuisance, the Town Council may go to whatever extent may be necessary to complete the abatement of the public nuisance and should it be practicable to salvage any material derived in the aforesaid abatement, the Town may sell the salvaged material at private or public sale at the best price obtainable and shall keep an accounting of the proceeds thereof.
