| 31. | Procedure to compel contribution to the repair of fences. The occupier desiring to repair any fence may serve a notice upon the contiguous occupier requiring him to assist in repairing such fence, and, if such occupier refuses or neglects so to do for the space of one week after the service of such notice, such first-mentioned occupier may himself do the work and recover half the cost thereof from the occupier making default. |

| 33. | Exception where accident results from neglect.
