Sec. 153. Same—grading and paving.
Whenever the paving, grading or making of sidewalks or
streets anywhere in the city is ordered by the Council, it shall be
the duty of the City Engineer, when in his opinion such street
or sidewalk should be so graded as to raise or lower the same
materially with reference to the property of abutting lot owners,
to make his plans of such improvement, showing accurately in
feet and inches the elevation or lowering of the street with reference
to such adjacent property, and submit the same to the Committee
of the Council on Streets before making such improvement.
Whereupon the said committee shall summon adjacent lot
owners, either by personal service or by notice published once in
some newspaper of this city, to appear before it at a designated
time and place to show cause, if any they can, against the proposed
improvement. No such improvement shall be made by the City
Engineer until his plans have been approved by the Council, after
consideration of the report of the committee thereon as herein
provided.
