Sec. 10-30. Electrical construction in streets, etc.

No electrical conductors, wires, conduits, poles, lamps or
other electrical devices or fixture shall be constructed,
erected, strung, laid, maintained, changed or altered above,
below or in any street, park or public place in any part of
the city nor shall any extension of the electrical conductors
either overhead or underground be made without the written
consent of the city electrician; provided, that for any work
contemplated which will require any disturbance of the streets
or excavations in them or the placing of any obstruction in the
streets, such permit from the city electrician shall be approved
by the city manager.

In every case of refusal of a permit by the city electrician,
the person who has been refused such permit may make application
to the city manager for the permit and the city
manager's decision shall be final. (Code 1959, § 10-33.)
