Sec. 30-36. 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 the person whose duty it is to remove the
same or failing in this to have the same removed at the cost
of the city. It shall be unlawful for any person whose duty
it is to remove any such obstruction to fail or refuse to do so
within a reasonable time after being notified to do so by the
city manager. When the obstruction is removed at the cost of
the city, the party whose duty it was to have removed such
obstruction shall be liable to the city for the expense incurred
in and about such removal, together with any fine imposed
by the court in addition thereto. (Code 1959, § 30-36.)
