It shall be discretionary with the commissioner of streets and sanitation or commissioner as to whether such permit shall be issued, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as making it obligatory upon either of said officers to issue such permit when, in the judgment of either of said commissioners, such permit should be refused for causes that he deems sufficient.
