        3. That they will properly close up the sewer  or  drain  around  such
      connection and make no opening into the arch of any sewer or drain;
        4.  That  they  will  faithfully comply with the provisions of section

      person so licensed shall  neglect  to  repair  the  pavement  aforesaid,
      within  twenty-four  hours  after  being  notified,  the commissioner of
      transportation may cause the same to be  done  and  charge  the  expense
      thereof to such licensee.
