Sec. 170. Sidewalks—earth embankments abutting.

Wherever earth embankments abut on any paved street or
sidewalk, it shall be the duty of the owner of such property to
erect suitable barriers or retaining walls to prevent loose earth
or mud from falling upon such street or sidewalk. Any violation
of this section shall be punished by a fine of $5.00, and if
any person fail to conform hereto within a reasonable time after
being notified to do so by the City Manager, each day of default
shall be deemed a separate offense. If, however, a change in the

grade of the street, made by the City, produces an embankment
abutting on a paved street or sidewalk, it shall be the duty of the
City to erect protecting barriers, if deemed necessary by the
City.
