He or she shall have the same powers in respect to repairs of streets, highways, bridges, and culverts as road commissioners and selectboards in towns and shall, when the public good requires, cause all streets and highways to be worked and graded the entire width thereof and made in such a manner as will in his or her judgment best accommodate the public.
(c) The Commissioner of Public Works shall have power to compel any person, acting under authority from him or her, to restore any sidewalk, street, pavement, highway, alley, lane, court, or public ground in said City that he or she shall dig up or disturb to a condition that shall be satisfactory to the Commissioner of Public Works.
