Sec. 187. Excavations—private lots.

All holes, depressions, excavations or other dangerous places
upon private lots that are below the grade of the adjoining street,
shall be properly enclosed with fences or walls, or filled up by
the owners or occupants of said lots, so as to prevent persons or
animals from failing therein. It shall be the duty of the Chief of

Police and City Manager to notify the owner or occupants of
premises on which such dangerous places exist, and require that
fences or walls be built around them, or that they be filled up
within such period as they shall deem that the exigencies of the
case may require. In case of failure to comply with such notification,
said owners or occupants shall be fined $5.00 for each day
such failure shall continue, and the City Manager may cause such
fencing or filling to be done at the expense of the City, and the
sum so expended, with twenty per centum thereof added as a
penalty, shall be collected of said owner or occupant as other fines
are collected.
