"Chapter VI.
"Additional Police Power Authority.
"Sec. 6.1.  Removal of trash, weeds; lien.  The Town Council may require the owner or owners of all premises, vacant or improved, to keep the same free from trash, obnoxious weeds, overgrowth, solid wastes, and stagnant water and to provide that in the case of failure on the part of such owner or owners to comply with any such requirement, to go upon their premises and perform such work as may be necessary to comply with such requirement, and to charge the cost thereof against the premises upon which such work is performed.
The costs to the Town of any work performed under this section shall constitute a lien against the premises upon which the work is performed and may be collected in the same manner as taxes upon real property.
