Sec. 168. Barriers—erected when.
When any work is being done on structures abutting on any
street or sidewalk which may endanger persons passing along
such street or sidewalk, barriers shall be placed across the way
so as to prevent and warn persons against the danger. And no
bricks, slate or any other thing or substance shall be thrown off,
from or out of such structure or any part thereof into the street
or sidewalk, except within the space inclosed by such barriers.
When any ditch is dug or excavation is made in or abutting a
street or sidewalk sufficient barriers shall be placed around and
over the same to prevent persons or animals from falling therein,
and during the whole of every night while such excavation
or opening is uncovered or unenclosed, sufficient lanterns or
other noticeable lights, shall be conspicuously placed so as to cast
their light upon such excavation or opening. Any person violating
this section shall be fined $5.00, and each day's continuance
of the violation shall be deemed a separate offense. The
person failing to comply with the provisions of this section shall
be responsible for all damages resulting therefrom.
