The lower stages of scaffolds are to be close or doubly planked; each stage to have fan and edge boards, and such other precautions to be taken as the Inspector of Pavements requires, to prevent dirt or wet falling upon the public, or for the public safety.
No materials are to be deposited below any scaffold.
Where practicable or needed, a boarded platform, 4 feet wide, and as much wider as may be necessary for the traffic, with stout post rails, and wheel kerbs on the outside of it, are to be constructed outside the scaffold, as the Inspector may direct.
Where it is necessary in the public interest, applicants shall form a gantry, stage, or bridge over the public-way, if required, so as to allow the foot passengers to pass beneath it. The gantry is to be double planked, and so constructed as to prevent dust, rubbish, or water falling upon the foot passengers, and the licensee shall keep the public-way beneath it clean to the satisfaction of the Inspector.
Scaffolds are to be watched and lighted at night.
All fire hydrants must be left unenclosed in recesses formed of such size and in such manner as may enable the hydrant to be easily got at and used.
Public lamps are not to be enclosed without the permission of the Engineer. When such enclosure is permitted, the applicant shall put a lamp or lamps temporarily outside the scaffold, so that the public-way may be properly lighted.
The licensee shall undertake to employ and pay the Contractors to the Corporation to make good the pavements, lamps, and all works disturbed, to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Licenses are not allowed to be transferred.
Other cities have similar regulations, but are not generally so complete in detail.
