No such permit shall be granted until the applicant therefor shall have given a bond in a sum to be determined by the city council at the time the permit is granted. Such bond shall run to the city of South Salt Lake and to any person injured by reason of the failure of the principal therein to comply with the provisions of this chapter; and shall be conditioned for the payment of all damages that may be adjudged against such principal or surety and shall save the city harmless from any and all claims resulting therefrom and any damage to or destruction of property arising in any manner out of the operations being performed under the permit. No part of a street other than that so allotted shall be used for depositing materials for work to be done or for receiving rubbish arising from such work, and all such rubbish shall be carried away by the person to whom the permit is granted, and in case of the neglect or refusal of such persons so to remove such rubbish, it shall be removed, at his expense, by the street superintendent.
