Any governmental agency acting within the scope of its function.
Students going to and from school classes or participating in educational activities, provided such conduct is under the immediate direction, supervision and authorization of the proper school authorities of the Borough of Clementon.
A person seeking issuance of a parade permit shall file an application with the Chief of Police on forms to be provided by such office.
Filing period. An application for a parade permit shall be filed with the Chief of Police of the Borough of Clementon not less than 10 days before the date on which it is proposed that such parade shall be conducted.
Contents. The application for a parade permit shall set forth the following information in full detail:
If the parade is proposed to be conducted for, or on behalf of, or by an organization, the name, address, telephone number, authorized and responsible leaders of such organization together with the address of the headquarters of such organization shall be set forth.

The location of any and all streets for any assembly areas for such parade.
The time at which units of the parade will begin to assemble at any assembly areas so designated under § 193-4B(9).

If the parade is designed to be held by and on behalf of or for any person other than the applicant, the applicant for such permit shall file with the Chief of Police a communication in writing from the person proposed to hold the parade, authorizing the applicant to apply for the permit on his behalf.
Any additional information which the Chief of Police of the Borough of Clementon shall find reasonably necessary for a fair determination as to whether the permit should be issued.
Late applications. The Chief of Police and the Public Safety Committee, where a good cause is shown on the time limit under § 193-4A could not be complied with, shall have the authority to consider any application hereunder which is filed less than 10 days before the date such parade is proposed to be conducted.
The Chief of Police and the Public Safety Committee shall issue a permit provided for hereunder when, from a consideration of the application and from such other information as may be otherwise obtained, they shall find that:
The conduct of the parade will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to its routes.
The conduct of the parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of police officers of the Borough of Clementon to properly police the line of movement and the area contiguous thereto as to prevent normal police protection of the Borough of Clementon.
The conduct of such parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance service to portions of the Borough of Clementon other than that to be occupied by the proposed line of march in areas contiguous thereto.
The concentration of persons, animals and vehicles at assembly points of the parade will not unduly interfere with the proper fire and police protection of or ambulance service to areas contiguous to such assembly areas.
The conduct of the parade is not unreasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct or create a disturbance.
The parade is scheduled to move from its point of origin and to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en route.
Nothing in this chapter will be construed to prohibit any lawful activity under the National Labor Relations Act regarding picketing.
If the Chief of Police and the Public Safety Committee shall approve the application; they shall mail to the applicant at least five days prior to the date of the parade a notice of their action. In the event that such application shall not be approved, like notice shall be sent at least five days prior to the date of such parade setting forth the reason for such denial of the permit.
