Section 1. Any accumulation of limbs, branches, prunings, trim-mings, stumps and parts of domestic or cultivated fruit trees, cut, removed, fallen or severed from such trees, is hereby declared to be a public nuisance.
Section 2. The word "accumulation" as used in this ordinance is hereby defined as any and all limbs, branches, prunings, trimmings, stumps and parts of domestic and cultivated fruit trees, which have fallen from such trees and have not been destroyed by burning or oth-erwise, within ten days after such cutting, removal, severance or falling, including such limbs, branches, prunings, trimmings, stumps and parts of such trees which have been cut, removed, severed or have fallen prior to the adoption of this ordinance.
Section 3. Any person, firm or corporation maintaining a public nuisance as defined herein shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for not exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding $500.00, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
Section 4. This ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure and necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health and safety, for the reason that there has accumulated great quantities of limbs, branches, prunings, trimmings, stumps and parts of domestic and cultivated fruit trees, which have become breeding places for fruit tree insects, pests and diseases, which are now greatly endangering such fruit trees and the crops thereof. Therefore, this ordinance shall become effective immediately upon the adoption hereof, and shall be published once in The Riverside Enterprise, a newspaper printed and published in the County of Riverside, State of California, together with the names of the members of the Board of Supervisors voting for and against the same.
