Sec. 32-9. - Removal of ice from sidewalks.

Whenever any sidewalk or any part thereof adjoining any building or lot of land on any street, highway, square or public place where such sidewalks are supported by curbing shall be encumbered by ice, it shall be the duty of the owner, occupant or other person having the care of such building or lot to cause the sidewalk to be made safe and convenient by removing the ice therefrom or by covering such ice with sand or some other suitable substance. In case such owner, occupant or other responsible person shall neglect so to do for the space of three hours during the daytime, he shall be punished as provided in section 1-12 and in a like manner for every day thereafter that the sidewalk shall continue to be so encumbered.
