No person, firm or corporation shall cast or throw

The owner or owners, tenant or tenants, of lands

In case the owner or owners, tenant or tenants,
of lands abutting or bordering upon the sidewalks and gutters, public
streets, avenues, highways and public places shall refuse or neglect
to remove all snow and ice from the same within 12 hours of daylight
after the same shall be formed or fall thereon or all grass and weeds

of Taxes, who shall thereupon collect such charges at the time of
collection of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such lands
and as a part thereof.
