3.—Every person who shall remove any snow from
any premises shall deposit the same in such a manner,
and with such precautions as to prevent any accumulation
thereof in any channel or upon any paved crossing.
If in the process of such removal any snow be
deposited upon any footway or pavement, he shall
forthwith remove such snow from such footway or
pavement.
4.—Every person who shall throw any salt upon
any snow on the footway or carriageway of any street

effectually to dissolve the whole of such snow, and he
shall forthwith effectually remove from the footway or
carriageway the whole of the deposit resulting from the
mixture of the salt with the snow. He shall not place
any part of such deposit on the carriageway of such
street, other than any channel at the side of such
carriageway, and he shall not remove the same into
any such channel unless it is sufficiently liquid to flow
along such channel.
