All petitions for the paving or repaving of any street, alley, parkway, park approach or lateral roadway of such parkway or park approach, or a portion thereof, shall be in writing and presented to the City Clerk and by him presented to the Council. The petition may request the paving or repaving of any street, alley, parkway, park approach or lateral roadway of such parkway or park approach, or any portion thereof, with any kind of pavement for which specifications are on file with the Commissioner of Public Works. Each person who has signed such petition shall state under oath that he has signed the same of his own free will; that no compensation was paid therefor, directly or indirectly; and that no promise, inducement or threat, explicit or implied, was made to secure his signature thereto. Any owner or his duly authorized agent on any street, alley, parkway or park approach, the improvement of which may be requested, may sign such petition either in ink or with indelible pencil, and opposite the signature shall be the date of the year and month when such signature was written. Any petition containing signatures bearing date six months prior to the date of the presentation of the petition to the City Clerk, or not complying in all respects with the conditions prescribed by this section, shall be rejected by the City Clerk and not presented to the Council. It shall be the duty of the City Clerk to examine petitions which are filed with him and see that the conditions herein imposed have been complied with.
It shall be the duty of the City Clerk to stamp or otherwise endorse upon every such petition the date, hour and minute of its receipt, and before stamping or otherwise endorsing the same, he shall enter in a record to be kept by him for such purpose a brief description of the work petitioned for and the day, hour and minute of the receipt thereof by him. Said record shall be so prepared and kept that the entry therein, with respect to each successive petition, shall occupy only one line, and shall follow on the next line below the entry as to the last preceding petition received. In the event that any petition is rejected by the City Clerk as above stated, the reason for the rejection shall be inserted in said record.
A. 
No person signing a petition filed pursuant to the provisions of Section 669 of the Charter and complying with the provisions of this Article shall, within three months after such petition is filed with the City Clerk for presentation to the Council, be considered or counted on any other petition for the same work or improvement, or any part thereof, or on any remonstrance against the same, nor shall any person be allowed to withdraw his name from any such petition or, without the permission of the Council, to add his name thereto during the same period.
B. 
Each sheet of such petition shall embody a statement showing the low bid, both in gross and per square yard, for each kind of pavement upon which bids were received by the Commissioner of Public Works for which specifications are on file with him, and the petition shall be accompanied by the affidavit of the person or persons securing the same, that the statement of such bids so contained in said petition was called to the attention of each person signing the petition or, if the affidavit did not secure all of the signatures to said petition, was called to the attention of each person whose signature he or she procured, naming such persons. Each sheet of such petition shall bear upon its face a copy of that part of this section relative to the limitation upon signing other petitions, or adding names to or withdrawing names from a petition, which, together with the statement of bids hereinbefore required, shall be so printed or typed as to be readily seen and read by each person signing such petition.
