Sec. 36. Same—Removal.
It shall be the duty of the police to promptly notify the city
manager of all permanent obstructions of the streets, drains or
culverts. The city manager shall forthwith cause all such obstructions
to be removed by either the person responsible for the same
or whose duty it is to remove the same or failing in this to have
the same removed at the cost of the city. If any person whose
duty it is to remove any such obstruction fails or refuses to do so
within a reasonable time after being notified to do so by the city
manager, he shall be fined not less than one nor more than ten
dollars for each day that he defaults; and when the obstruction is
removed at the cost of the city, the party whose duty it was to have
removed said obstruction shall be fined in addition to the foregoing
penalty such a sum as equals the expense incurred in and about
such removal, together with twenty per centum thereof in addition
thereto. (Id., § 167.)
