Sec. 169. Stopping travel on streets, and interfering
with barricades.

The City Manager or his authorized representative, shall have
the right to stop travel on any street when the same is being repaved
or improved, if he deem it necessary; and the Mayor shall
also have the right to stop travel on any street when requested
by a practicing physician to do so for the protection and comfort
of a patient during serious illness; and this shall be done by
ropes which shall be marked by some white cloth during the
daytime, and by lighted lanterns at night. Any one removing,
cutting or interfering with the barricades or lights, above provided
for, or driving or riding on those portions of the streets so
cut off, or in any way encroaching upon or interfering with any
portion of the streets of the City, when they are being repaved
or improved, shall be fined not less than $5.00 nor more than
$100.00 for each offense.
