upon sidewalks, public streets or public places in the Borough are
hereby required to remove all snow and ice from the traveled portion
of the sidewalks within 24 hours after the snow ceases.
B.
In the case of ice which may be so frozen as to make

upon sidewalks, public streets or public places in the Borough are
hereby required to thoroughly cover such ice with sand, salt or cinders
within 24 hours after the same shall fall or be formed thereon.
No person shall throw, place or deposit any

person, upon the sidewalks, streets, storm drains and/or fire hydrants
of and within the Borough.
In case such snow or ice shall not be removed
from such sidewalks or streets or shall be cast, deposited thereon
or placed upon such sidewalks or streets by the owner or other persons,
as provided herein, the same shall be removed forthwith under the
direction of the appropriate official of the Department of Public
Works, and the cost of such removal, as nearly as can be ascertained,
shall be charged against the real estate so abutting or bordering
upon such sidewalk of street.
Every person convicted of a violation of this
article shall be subjected to a fine of not more than $100 or imprisonment
