(Prior code § 3500.1)
Any person desiring to move any house or building in, over, upon, along or across any public street or alley within the city shall file a written application with the superintendent of streets setting forth herein a description of the house or building to be moved, and also file with the superintendent of streets a bond signed by at least two sureties, payable to the city of Upland, satisfactory to him or her, in such sum as the superintendent shall deem necessary in order to protect the city from such damage as shall be caused to the public streets thereof by the moving of such house or building in, over, upon, along or across the same; or, in lieu of such bond, may deposit with the street superintendent cash in such amount as such superintendent of streets shall deem necessary for such purpose.
(Prior code § 3500.2)
Upon the filing of such application, accompanied by such cash or bond, as the case may be, the superintendent of streets shall issue a permit and shall therein designate the streets or alleys, in, over, upon, along or across which such house or building may be moved, and no house or building may be moved in, over, upon, along or across any street or alley not mentioned in such permit, providing however, that the superintendent of streets shall not be required to issue any permit for the moving of any house or building in, over, upon, along, or across any improved street if in his or her opinion the damage caused to such street by such moving would be irreparable.
(Prior code § 3500.3)
Any person to whom a permit is granted for the moving of any house or building as herein provided shall, at the end of each day, notify the chief of police or the fire department as to the location of such house or building and shall at all times, from one-half hour after sunset to and until one-half hour before sunrise, keep and maintain upon the house or building while the same or any part thereof is upon any public street or alley, lighted lanterns, with red globes, so displayed as to give notice and warning to persons using the streets or alleys upon which the house or building is then located.
(Prior code § 3500.4)
Any damage done or occasioned by the moving of any house or building in, over, along or across any street or alley in the city shall be immediately repaired to the satisfaction of the superintendent of streets and the cost of such repair, unless otherwise paid, shall be paid from the amount so deposited or in case a bond is filed, shall be paid by the city, from the general fund of the city, and an action maintained upon the bond for the amount thereof and costs.
