SEC. 10. PRIVATE LICENSES.

The city council shall have the power by ordinance to grant to any owner of property abutting upon the streets or other property of the city, the use thereof or to go over or under the same in any manner which may be necessary or proper to the enjoyment of said abutting property by the owner; provided, however, that such use be not inconsistent with, and does not unreasonably impair the public use to which said street or other public property may be dedicated, or the use being made of the same by a public service franchise holder from the city. The city council shall fix the terms and conditions of any such grant and the time for which it shall exist. Whether expressed or not, the right is expressly reserved to the city, acting through the city council, to terminate such license when deemed inconsistent with the public use of the property of the city and when the same may become a nuisance.
