gas main or other pipe under any pavement, a permit shall,
after investigation, be issued by the supervisor of streets
and irrigation for the cutting of the pavement to make the
necessary repairs or for the tapping or drilling of the
pavement to locate the leakage; provided further, that any
person desiring to tap or drill any pavement shall do so
only in the presence of a duly authorized city inspector,
and shall promptly seal such drill holes in the presence of

excavation, or by the party at whose instance it is to be
made; nor until the applicant has filed with the supervisor
of streets and irrigation a bond of indemnity to the city,
with sureties to be approved by the Board of Commissioners,
conditioned that the person making the excavation will
erect and maintain about said excavation, and until the
street is restored to its normal condition, sufficient
guards, signals, barricades and lights, to prevent accident,
and will, as soon as may be after the completion of said
work, restore said street to the same condition in which it
existed prior to said excavation, and will remove rocks,
dirt and rubbish fromthe street, and will save the city

that whenever paving or macadam, dirt or rock is removed in
the process of any street excavation, such paving or macadam,
dirt or rock must be replaced under the direction and to
the satisfaction of the supervisor of streets and irrigation,
and at the expense of the party making the excavation; and,
provided further, that any person operating in ow using
any of the streets under a franchise, or any person who in

dollars, conditioned as above, to cover all excavations
made for a period of two years from the date of filing, but
permits for all excavations, except for the replacement of
street railway rails and ties in unpaved streets, must be
applied for and issued before it shall be lawful to make
any such excavations; provided further, that in excavating
through asphalt or cement, or beneath stone blocks, the
excavation shall be cut perpendicularly at the side and

ter of materials and workmanship with the cityls specifica-
tions for street paving, and in all cases, whether the

filling the material used for that purpose shall be
thoroughly sprinkled and tamped, or a sufficient quantity
of water used to properly settle 'the material so used; and
after completing an excavation and back-filling, all dirt,
rocks and rubbish shall be removed from the street; pro-
