§ 4951.48.
When street railways are operated by electricity, cable, compressed air, or other
motive power in a municipal corporation, the legislative authority of such municipal
corporation, by ordinance, may require the owners or operators of such railways to
place watchmen at street crossings, intersections, or corners which such legislative
authority deems dangerous. The legislative authority may provide for the enforcement of such ordinances by
penalties in the way of fine or imprisonment, or both, to be imposed upon the owner,
officer, or operator of such railways, or by a forfeiture of not exceeding one hundred
dollars per day, which may be recovered by such municipal corporation in a civil suit
against the owners or operators of any such railway failing to place such watchmen
as are required.
