§ 10:6. New tracks or changes not to be laid without getting lines and levels from city-parish.

It shall be unlawful for any railroad company running its tracks within the limits of the city-parish to lay down new tracks or lower or raise the grade of any track through public property without first procuring lines and levels from the director of public works for the proper construction of such track. In case of any violations of the provisions of this section, the director of public works shall cause such track to be immediately conformed to the proper grade or level of the streets or levees upon which it is laid and in case the railroad company should refuse or neglect so to do when notified, the director shall execute the provisions of this section and use such means as may be necessary for such purpose; provided this shall not affect existing agreements of crossings between the city-parish government and any railroad company.
