Whenever a funeral procession may be crossing a drawbridge, and a signal is given by a vessel or boat passing up or down the Cuyahoga River, to open the draw, the captain, bridge tender or other person in charge of the drawbridge, over which the procession is passing, shall raise the red ball or lantern, but shall not ring the bell or give such other signal as may be on the bridge, or open the draw, until the procession has passed over. After raising the red ball or lantern, indicating that the vessel signal has been recognized, he or she shall immediately lower the red ball or lantern and keep the same lowered until the procession has passed, when he or she shall again raise it.
