[1961 Code]
No person, except a licensed house mover, shall move any house, barn or other building over, across, along any street or alley within the limits of the Village. Every person shall annually, before engaging in such occupation, obtain a license therefor from the Clerk of the Village upon approval of the President and Board of Trustees and upon payment of the license fee as provided in Section 29-11 of this Code.
[1961 Code]
No license required by the preceding section shall be granted until the party applying therefor shall have given a bond in the sum of $2,500 with good and sufficient sureties to be approved by such Clerk, conditioned, among other things, that such party will pay any and all damages which may happen to any tree, pavement or sidewalk or any other property belonging to the Village, whether such damage shall be inflicted by such party or his agents, employees or workmen, and conditioned, also, that such party will immediately pay any judgment that may be obtained against the Village as well as any costs the Village may incur in consequence of the granting of such license and all the acts done thereunder, and will, in all things, strictly comply with the conditions of his permit.
[1961 Code]
Each licensed house mover shall, in each instance, before moving any building, obtain a written permit to do so from the Village Manager. Thereupon the Village Manager shall issue a permit stating specifically the conditions, prescribing the route to be taken and limiting the time for the removal; provided, however, that no permit shall be issued for the removal of any building in the Village, except under the requirements of the provisions of Chapter 10 of this Code.
[1961 Code]
Every house mover, while using any portion of the street or sidewalk, shall cause at least one red light to be placed in a conspicuous place in front and one in the rear of any building, or any other obstruction placed in the street by him, from sunset to sunrise of each night. He shall also leave all streets and alleys over which he has moved any building in as good condition as they were before being so used by him and shall strictly comply with the terms of his permit.
[1961 Code]
The owner of any building or the contractor for its removal, either or both, who shall suffer the same to be or remain in any of the streets or alleys or upon any of the public grounds of the Village for any time longer than may be specified in the permit, shall forfeit a penalty of $10 and a like penalty for every 24 hours the same shall be continued and unless such building is removed within such reasonable time as the President and Board of Trustees may determine, the President and Board of Trustees may declare the same to be a nuisance and cause its removal.
