Before any permit for moving any structure or building across or along any sidewalk, street, highway or public place within the corporate limits shall be issued, the applicant or his agent must furnish a bond with suitable sureties, or an insurance policy, in an amount not in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Buildings, providing for the payment of any injuries or damages which may happen or be caused to any person or any tree, pavement, street, sidewalk, pole or telephone, telegraph or light wire, for which injuries, damages or repairs the Municipality may or might be held responsible, whether such injuries or damages shall be inflicted or caused, directly or indirectly, by such applicant or his agent, employee or workman. The bond or policy shall provide further that the applicant and his sureties or insurer shall hold the Municipality harmless against any liability, judgments, damages, costs and expenses which may in any way accrue or arise against the Municipality in consequence of the granting of such a permit or the performance of any work pursuant thereto. In addition thereto, the Commissioner of Buildings may require a deposit of a bond, cash or certified check in an amount not in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000) to cover the costs, fees and expenses herein provided for. Any unused portion thereof shall be returned to the person depositing the same or his agent, upon completion of such moving operation.
