This, he said, is a violation of the borough ordinances and cannot be allowed to continue as it obstructs traffic and may cause accidents. This ruling not only applies to the streets, but the sidewalks as well, Juba pointed out. "We wish to take no action before all students are warned," Juba said, "but if the ball play ing is continued arrests and fines will follow."
