   public convenience and safety, as determined by the Commissioner of
   Public Safety. In addition to the prohibitions on movement as
   prescribed in Section 14-101 et seq. of this title, such structures
   shall not be moved on Saturday or Sunday.
   
   B. The Commissioner of Public Safety is hereby authorized to make
   exceptions to the requirements herein when, in the Commissioner's

   of no less than two hundred twenty (220) horsepower.
   
   C. If the structure is eighteen (18) feet or less in width at the base
   or the top, the maximum traveling distance shall not apply and such
   permit shall specify the highways to be used and said movement shall
   be permitted when consistent with public convenience and safety, as
   determined by the Commissioner of Public Safety.
   
   D. For the purposes of this section, "industrialized housing" means
