[Adopted 2-26-1962 ATM, Art. 29]
No person, other than an employee of the town
acting in the discharge of their duties, shall break or dig up the
pavement or ground in any street or way for which the town is legally
responsible, or erect any staging or building thereon, or place thereon
any rubbish or materials, without first obtaining from the Town Manager
a written permit describing the space in the street that may be so
disturbed or occupied, and the length of time such disturbance or
occupancy may continue and such other provisions and restrictions
as the Town Manager may deem advisable, nor without filing with the
Town Manager a written agreement to comply strictly with the terms
of the permit and to indemnify the town against all loss, cost or
expense that it may suffer by reason thereof during such disturbance
or occupancy and for a period of two years after its termination.
Whenever any street shall, by reason of any
work done under any permit granted as provided in the preceding section,
be dug up, obstructed, encumbered or otherwise rendered unsafe or
inconvenient for travel, the person receiving such permit shall put,
and at all times keep up, a suitable railing or fence around the section
of the street so obstructed so long as the same shall remain unsafe
or inconvenient, and shall also keep an adequate number of lighted
lanterns, flares or flashing lights, fixed to such fence or placed
in some other suitable position to warn the public, during every night
from sunset to sunrise so long as such railing or fence is kept standing
or the obstruction remains. They shall also, within such reasonable
time as the Town Manager shall direct, clear or repair such street,
in a manner satisfactory to the Town Manager.
Whoever violates any provision of this article
shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding
$20 for each offense, and each day that the violation continues shall
be considered as a separate violation and be punishable as such.
