AN ORDINANCE

TO AMEND AN ORDINANCE IN RELATION TO STREETS.

Be it ordained by the Aldermen and Common Council of the City of Boston, in City Council assembled, as follows:

SECTION 1. The ordinance in relation to streets, printed in the edition of the Laws and Ordinances for the year 1869, is hereby amended by striking out the twenty-second section thereof, and inserting the following in its place: "Sect. 22. No canopy, awning, shade, shade-frame or shade-curtain shall hereafter be erected or placed within the limits of any street, unless permission therefor shall have been first obtained in writing from the Superintendent of Lamps, who is hereby authorized to give such permits, when, in his opinion, the public safety and convenience, and the proper lighting of

the streets will not thereby be interfered with; provided, however, that all permits for shade-frames shall be limited to frames so constructed that they can be folded up against the buildings to which they may be affixed. The Board of Aldermen may order the immediate removal of any canopy, awning, shade, shade-frame or shade-curtain, which is now, or hereafter may be, erected or placed within the limits of any public street of the city. Any person or persons who shall erect or maintain any canopy, awning, shade, shadeframe or shade-curtain, contrary to the provisions of this section, shall forfeit and pay the sum of two dollars for each and every day on which such canopy, awning, shade, shadeframe or shade-curtain shall be so maintained."
