No person shall run or propel a traction engine or any engine or machine which is propelled by steam power upon or over the pavement of any street or alley in the City without first having complied with the following:
A person desiring to run or propel such an engine or machine over or upon such pavement shall first obtain from the Mayor a permit to do so and shall, before moving any such engine or machine upon such pavement, be accompanied by an official of the City who is designated by the Mayor and shall lay upon and along such pavement boards of sufficient width and thickness so that the wheels or rollers of such engine or machine do not come in contact with such pavement. However, such permit shall not release a person injuring the pavement of any street or alley in the City from liability for any such injury.
