A. When a building or other structure is to be moved along any public street or alley, it is necessary to obtain from the superintendent of streets, a permit for such removal along any public street or alley before such removal can be commenced. The person applying for such permit shall deposit with the superintendent of streets, fifty dollars. The permittee, by the acceptance of such permit, agrees to put the streets over which such removal is made, in as good order and condition as they were prior to such use, and agrees to clean up and remove all debris deposited thereon by reason of such use, otherwise to forfeit to the city the said deposit, in addition to all damages, for which he may be the cause, and for which he may be liable or responsible.

B. All removals made under such permits shall be done in a careful manner and shall be prosecuted with diligence, and shall be under the superintendence and control, and to the satisfaction and approval of the superintendent of streets.

C. No person, firm or corporation owning or having charge of the removal of any building through the public streets, shall permit such building to be or stand on any street, lane, alley or public grounds within the limits of one block for a longer period than twenty-four hours, nor shall they permit the same to obstruct any street car line in operation, by cutting wire, except between the hours of one a.m. and five a.m.

D. When the cutting of any wires, or temporary removal of any pole or poles of any public or private telegraph, telephone, electric light, or any other wire, passing along or over any other street, lane or alley becomes necessary for the removal of any building, the person in charge of such removal shall, at least six hours in advance of reaching the same, notify the person or persons having charge of and control over such wire or wires, and the person so notified shall cause such wires to be promptly cut or removed and replaced, after being first paid or tendered the reasonable cost and expense thereof; provided, however, that in every case in which the cutting of wires belonging to the city, may be necessary, the superintendent of streets shall be notified, and he or she shall have the wires cut and replaced, the person or persons having charge of the removal of the buildings, paying the entire cost and expense of cutting, removal and replacing of the same.
