No person shall deposit on any street any material which may be harmful to the pavement thereof, or any waste material, glass or other article which may do injury to any person, animal or property.
Coal or other material may be deposited in streets preparatory to delivery or use, provided that such deposit does not reduce the useable width of the roadway at that point to less than eighteen feet, and provided, further, that such material or coal, other than material to be used in actual building construction, shall not be permitted to remain on such street for more than three hours.
Any such material or coal shall be guarded by lights if the same remains upon any sidewalk at night.
(1942 Code Chap. XL, Art. I, Sec. 14)
