And each and every day whereon such smoke shall be so emitted or discharged shall be a separate offense, provided however, that it shall be a good defense if the person charged with a violation hereof shall show that there is no known practical device, appliances, means, or method by application of which to his building, establishment, or premises the emission or discharge of the dense smoke complained of in that proceeding could have been prevented.
No person, firm, or corporation shall locate, set up, run, maintain, or operate within the City of Camdenton, within six hundred (600) feet of any store, residence, or dwelling house, any railroad asphalt plant, asphalt mixing plant, or other plant which emits or gives out dust, foul, noxious, unhealthful, or disagreeable odor, and the location, setting up, running, maintaining, or operating any such plant as aforesaid within six hundred (600) feet of any store, residence, or dwelling house, is hereby declared to be a nuisance.

For every day after conviction (whether the judgment be appealed from or not) before the Municipal Judge, of any person for the violation, failure, neglect, or refusal to comply with any of the provisions, regulations, or requirements of this Chapter, that such public nuisance is continued, such person shall be deemed guilty of a separate and distinct offense, for which he/she may again be arrested, tried, convicted, and punished as in the first instance.
Any person who shall violate, neglect, fail, or refuse to comply with the provisions of this Chapter, shall on conviction thereof, before the Municipal Judge, be deemed guilty of committing, causing, keeping, maintaining, or doing or causing or permitting to be committed, caused, kept, maintained, or done, a nuisance, and shall be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or imprisonment in the County Jail not to exceed ninety (90) days, or both such fine and imprisonment; and if upon such trial it shall appear to such Municipal Judge or Appellate Court that the nuisance complained of continues to exist, said Judge or Appellate Court shall, in addition to the penalty herein provided for, make an order directing the Chief of Police, City Physician, or Public Works Director, as the case may be, to abate such nuisance forthwith, and immediately report the expense thereof to such Judge, and the cost of removing or abating such nuisance may be made a part of the judgment by the Municipal Judge, in addition to the fine imposed, in case of conviction in the Judge's court, of the person causing or maintaining such nuisance. If the nuisance is suppressed within the City limits, the expense for abating the same may be assessed against the owner or occupant of the property, and against the property on which said nuisance is committed, and a special tax bill may be issued against said property for said expenses.
