Any person who places, collects or allows to remain upon the surface of land owned or occupied by him, or discharges or allows to be discharged from his premises upon the land of another or upon any public land, any filthy water, garbage or other filthy or noxious matter, whereby the owner or occupant of land in the vicinity thereof is injured or annoyed, or discharges or deposits upon the watershed of any stream or reservoir used to supply water to any community filthy or noxious matter, or any person who, outside of a city or borough, in any town, engages or assists in the business of manufacturing fertilizers or other products from refuse animal matter, at any place within half a mile from a public highway, without license from the director of health of such town, shall be fined not more than fifty dollars.
