It shall be unlawful to make any excavation in, or tunnel under, any street, alley, sidewalk, park, parkway or other public place, or to disturb or break the pavement of any such place, unless the person doing such work shall have filed with the City Clerk a bond to guarantee the replacement of the surface thereof with proper packing or backfilling, in the condition it was in before the work was started. Such bond may be in the form of an undertaking with a corporate surety, to complete such replacement within a reasonable period or to reimburse the city for the expense of doing so itself.
