Whenever any sidewalk shall have been built, repaired, re-laid, or replaced, the dirt removed may be used by the city in improvement of the street on which building or repairs are being made or on streets, alleys, or public places the grading of which is of the same general plan. In case the city does not so use the dirt, the property owner must remove it together with all old material within five days from the completion of such work. In case the property owner fails to do so, the contractor shall proceed to remove the same, and the cost thereof shall be collected as part of the cost of the improvement.
(Prior Code, § 95.061)
