The gaslights shall be installed by the City at the cost and expense of the persons
requesting their installation at such places in sidewalks as shall be approved by
the Directors. Title to the lights shall vest in the City in fee simple upon their
installation, and it shall have exclusive control thereof. However, if service to
a gaslight is terminated permanently in pursuance of National, State or local energy
conservation policy, the Directors shall cause its removal from the sidewalk, and
ownership of the gaslight shall thereupon revert to the person at whose cost and expense
the light was installed or such person's successors or heirs, if such fixture is claimed
within 30 days following the forwarding of the notice of termination of service. The
charge for installing such lights shall be as set forth in Appendix A to this Code,
and the charge shall be paid to the City before the lights are installed. No gaslight
shall be installed or maintained on a sidewalk when, in the opinion of the Directors,
the safety of persons and property and the convenience of the public in the use of
streets will be adversely affected by the installation and maintenance thereof.
