be paid to the Borough Secretary. Any person, firm or corporation may, instead

any such work.
[Amended 5-17-1976 by Ord. No. 380,
approved 5-17-1976]
The Borough Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to issue a permit to each and every person applying for same under §
90-14, subject to the following conditions and restrictions:
A. Said permit shall not be issued for a longer period than
six months, or shall be issued for a shorter period if, in the opinion of
the Borough Secretary, the work for which the permit is granted can be accomplished
in a shorter time.
B. No permit shall be construed as giving any person a right
or privilege to block any pavement or footpath in the Borough.
C. All building or other materials shall be so placed on
the streets, roads, lanes, alleys or avenues as to allow free passage of water
in the gutters, and, furthermore, no building materials or other materials
shall be placed within 10 feet of any fireplug or over the center line of
the street, so that free passage of teams, automobiles and vehicles is assured.
D. No permit shall be construed as giving permission to
any person to place materials in front of an adjoining property without said
person's having first obtained the consent of the owner of said adjoining
property to so place said materials.
E. The person to whom said permit is given shall promise
to use all diligence in removing the materials from the streets, roads, avenues,
alleys or lanes after the work is completed, and, upon notice from the Borough
Secretary, shall remove same within five days from said notice.
F. The person or persons to whom said permit is granted
or issued shall promise to be personally responsible for any loss or injury
that may result through such building or other materials being placed on the
streets of the Borough.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this article shall, upon
conviction in a summary proceeding before a District Magistrate, be sentenced
to pay a fine of not more than $300 and costs of prosecution, and in default
of payment of such fine and costs, to imprisonment in the county jail for
not more than 30 days.
