(1) Whenever any fire or light is burned or exhibited at such place or in such manner as to be liable to be mistaken for a light proceeding from a lighthouse, it shall be lawful for the Harbour Master or any person nominated in that behalf by such officer to serve a notice upon the owner of the place where the fire or light is burned or exhibited, or upon the person having charge of the fire or light, either personally, or by delivery at the place of abode of such owner or person, or by affixing it in some conspicuous spot near to the fire or light, and by such notice to direct the owner or person, within a reasonable time, to be specified in the notice, to take effectual means for extinguishing or effectually screening the fire or light and for preventing for the future any similar fire or light. (2) If the owner of that place or other person aforesaid fails to carry out the directions given in any such notice, he shall, in addition to any other liabilities, be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars. 40
