shall be individual towels, or toweling may be provided so arranged in locked cabinets
that each user may pull out a clean portion and the used portion shall be automatically

washroom, if any, in such hotel, there shall be kept at all times, in sight of, and easy of
access to, guests a sufficient supply of individual towels or toweling so arranged in

be automatically drawn into a separate compartment and mechanically locked to prevent
withdrawal for reuse. The owner, manager, agent or person in charge of any hotel or
public lavatory who fails to comply with any of the provisions hereof shall be fined not
less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred dollars for each offense.
