§ 281-10. Opening of newly paved streets.

No newly paved street shall be opened or dug up or the pavement thereof otherwise cut, injured or defaced for any purpose whatever, by any person, until after the expiration of three years from the date of final completion of the newly laid pavement in said street or avenue; provided, however, that in case of emergency where the health, comfort or convenience of the public or a considerable number of persons in the City may be endangered, a permit for the opening of said street may be granted by the Mayor. Said permit shall be in writing and shall state the nature of the emergency necessitating the issuance thereof.
