Provisions, Art. I)]
No person shall conduct, operate, manage or sponsor any Ferris
wheel, merry-go-round or other amusement ride operated for hire, or
for the purpose of promoting or advertising any trade or business,

liability insurance in an amount set by the City Council, indemnifying
the public against damages sustained by reason of the operation of
such ride. Such bond or certificate of insurance shall be subject
to approval by the City Attorney. This section shall apply to all
persons, whether or not such persons are exempted from any other provision
