No person shall distribute any handbill or other advertising matter
whatever in the Borough by casting or scattering the same upon any of the
streets, sidewalks, alleys or public places in the Borough or by placing the
same upon any vehicle located thereon, provided that this shall not prevent
any person from handing any noncommercial literature of any nature, upon any
of the streets, sidewalks or alleys in the Borough, to any person willing
to receive the same.
[Added 8-31-1987 by Ord. No. 943]
Any person violating any provision of this chapter, upon conviction

be subject to pay a fine not less than $25 nor to exceed the maximum fine

not exceeding 90 days, or both. Each day that such violation continues shall
constitute a separate offense.
