Section 121. Booms and other obstructions to be opened on notice; penalty for failure

Every person who shall build any boom or other  obstruction
  in  the  waters  of  any river or stream, for the purpose of stopping or
  securing lumber, logs or other timber shall within ten  days  after  the
  receipt  of a written notice from any person who shall have lumber, logs
  or other timber to transport on such river or stream, open such boom  or
  remove  such  obstruction  or part thereof so as to permit the assorting
  and passage of such lumber, logs and other timber through and down  such
  river  or  stream.  Every  person  who  wilfully  obstructs, by booms or
  otherwise, the channel of any river or stream so as to hinder  or  delay
  the  free  passage  of  lumber, logs or timber over or through the same,
  shall be liable to a penalty of  fifty  dollars  for  each  day  of  the
  continuance of such obstruction, to be recovered by the person aggrieved
  thereby,  and  in  addition  to  such  penalty,  shall be liable for all
  damages caused by such obstruction.
