Such notice shall be published one time in a legal newspaper at least 20 days prior to the beginning of the operation by the party having the work under construction and the notice shall state at what date connection shall be made and excavation completed. After expiration of such time, permits for excavation will not be issued nor will excavation be allowed until after the completion of the pavement in such street or alley and the formal and final acceptance thereof by the proper officials of the city.
