(c) Foundations.

All stone work shall have the surface next to the foundation bedded off, or squared sufficiently true and level to allow every part to be in contact with the foundation.

(3) Persons engaged in erecting monuments or other structures are prohibited from attaching ropes to trees and shrubs, and from scattering their material over adjoining lots, or leaving some on grounds any longer than is absolutely necessary, but in all cases they are to proceed and act in accordance with the rules, under the direction of the Village Administrator or his authorized representative.
(4) If any monument or effigy, or any structure whatever, or any inscription be placed in or upon any lot, which shall be determined by the Village Administrator or his authorized representative to be offensive or improper, he shall have the right, and it shall be his duty, to enter upon said lot and remove said offensive object or objects.
