A snow-removal condition is hereby declared to exist in the
Borough of Walnutport whenever snow falls during any period of 24
hours or less to an accumulated depth of eight inches or more, or
at any other such time when, in the opinion of the Mayor, or such
person designated by the Mayor, the street conditions are hazardous
and dangerous to vehicular and pedestrian traffic because of snow
accumulation. The Mayor or such person designated by the Mayor, shall
have authority to declare a snow-removal condition, notice of which

of 24 hours following the accumulation of snow, or until such period
of time as designated by the Mayor. For the purpose of enforcing this

organization or entity to deposit snow into any street of this Borough,

conviction thereof, such person shall pay a fine which shall not exceed
