No sidewalk shall be constructed or reconstructed, or any grading, paving or repaving done to the same, and no gutters or curbs shall be constructed or corrected, until the owner or owners of the ground, or the person having charge of the work, shall first have obtained a permit for the same from the Secretary of the Board of Commissioners. The permit shall be placed, by the party applying for the same, in the hands of the Township Engineer, who shall furnish the said person with the established lines and grades, for which services he or she shall receive his or her proper charge from the Board of Commissioners.
When the work set forth in the said permit has been fully completed, a certificate that the work has been properly done, and that the plans, regulations, requirements and ordinances of the Township have been complied with, shall be procured from the Township Engineer by the party applying for the above-mentioned permit, and endorsed on the permit, and returned to the Secretary of the Board of Commissioners, provided that if, in the judgment of the Township Engineer, such construction or reconstruction, grading, paving, repairing or repaving of any sidewalk shall be inexpedient or dangerous because of the existing grade of the street or of the contiguous sidewalk, such permit shall not be issued, or if issued shall be canceled by the Township Engineer, and the fee therefor returned to the applicant. The cost of each permit shall be thirty-five dollars ($35.00), which shall be paid into the Township Treasury for the use of the Township. No permit shall be valid after sixty days from the date of issue.
