or other public place to remove or cause to be removed all snow and
ice from the sidewalk in front of or adjacent to such premises to

paved or duly established, snow and ice shall be removed to a width
of not less than four feet from that portion of the street or way
which is used in common as a footway in such street or way.
B. Use of ashes, sand, similar material. In case the snow and ice on the sidewalk shall be frozen so hard that it cannot be removed without injury to the pavement, the owner and occupant of every parcel of said real estate shall, within the time specified in Subsection

the cost of such removal, together with an additional charge of 50%
thereof for supervision and administration, shall be assessed against
