The lawful use of land existing at the time of the <br />passage of this ordinance, although such use does not con- <br />form to the provisions hereof, may-be continued, but if such <br />non - conforming use is discontinued, any future use of said <br />premises shall be in conformity with the provisions of this <br />ordinance. <br />B.
