If any such officer shall fail to comply with the
provisions of this section, he shall, upon conviction, be fined in any sum

and adjudge the forfeiture of his said office. For a failure or neglect of
official duty in the enforcement of this act, any of the city or county

any county, city, district or township, after his election or appointment,
and either before or after he shall have qualified or entered upon his
official duties, who shall accept or receive any money or the loan of
any money, or any real or personal property, or any pecuniary or other
personal advantage, present or prospective, under the agreement or
understanding that his vote, opinion, judgment or action shall be thereby
influenced, or as a reward for having given or withheld any vote, opinion
or judgment in any matter before him in his official capacity, or having
