Sec. 452. Fire hose on the street.

Whenever any hose of the Fire Department is laid upon any
street, it shall not be lawful for any wagon, cart, street railroad
car or other vehicle to pass over the same. The owner or driver
of any wagon, cart, street railroad car or other vehicle, who shall
drive or cause the same to be driven over said hose, shall, upon
conviction, be fined not less than $10.00 nor more than $100.00;
but nothing in this section shall be so construed as to prevent
street railroad cars from crossing said hose, when laid across
their track or tracks, provided they use a truck or jumper, so
as not to injure the hose of the Fire Department.
