Sec. 30-43. Planting shade trees.
No person shall plant any shade trees in the streets or sidewalks
of the city without the previous consent of the city
manager, who shall designate the proper line for the same.
No North Carolina Poplar, Lombardy Poplar or cottonwood
tree shall be planted in the streets or alleys of the city nor
within ten feet of the lines of the same. Neglect or refusal to
remove such trees as have been planted contrary to this section,
when ordered to do so by the city manager, shall be cause
for having the trees removed by the city, and the person planting
the trees shall pay the cost of the same, in addition to any
fine imposed by the court. (Code 1959, § 30-43.)
