It shall be the duty of every person, persons, partnership,
firm, corporation or other legal entity occupying or in the case of
vacant building or multiple occupancy buildings, every person, persons,
partnership, firm, corporation or other legal entity owning same,
which abut on a sidewalk within the Borough of Wellsboro to keep such
walk free from snow and ice and in a safe and passable condition as
possible at all times. Said snow and ice shall be removed within eight
hours after the snow has ceased to fall or the ice has formed. In
calculating said eight-hour time period, only the time between 6:00
a.m. and 3:00 p.m. shall be counted. In the event that such snow and
ice shall not be removed within the time limit provided herein, the
Borough of Wellsboro shall have the authority, through such Borough
officer or employee designated, to remove such snow and ice. In the
event the Borough is required to remove said snow and ice, the owner
or occupant, as the case may be, shall be required to pay the cost
of said removal plus an additional charge of 10%.

Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision
of this Part shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a
fine not to exceed $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment of

Each day that a violation of this Part continues shall constitute
a separate offense.
[Ord. 118, 2/22/1909; as added by Ord. 346, 4/8/1957, § 3]
Nothing in this Part shall be construed so as to in any manner
conflict or interfere with the use of the snow plow by the Borough
authorities, as has been the custom in past years; but the passing
of such a snow plow over any of the sidewalks included within this
Part shall not be deemed to be a compliance with the provisions hereof.
