A. Whenever, on any street or sidewalk crossed by the
tracks of any railway company, the City Council deems it
necessary to provide protection to persons and property at such
crossings by the erection and maintenance of gates, guards or
other protection, the Council may so declare and direct that
such railway company shall, within a certain time to be fixed

person operating a railroad in the City to fail to keep and
maintain such lights as are hereinbefore provided for or

participation, if any, by the City shall be set forth in a
resolution and payment of said participation will be made only
after completion of said construction and approval of the
actual costs by the City Council. In the event the City
participates in such construction costs, such determination by
the City Council will in no manner constitute grounds for
postponement or delay in the completion of such construction
