in the making of such excavations or
tunnel; and notice shall be given to the persons maintaining any such pipes, cables or conduits or
to the city department or officer charged with the care thereof, which are or may be endangered
or affected by the making of any such excavation or tunnel before such pipes, cables or conduits
shall be disturbed.
No unnecessary damage or injury shall be done to any tree
or shrub or the roots thereof. (Prior
