No electrical conductors, wires, conduits, poles, lamps or other
electrical devices or fixtures shall be constructed, erected, strung,
laid, maintained, changed or altered, above, below or in any

from the City Electrician shall be approved by the City Manager.

And provided that in every case of refusal of a permit by the
City Electrician, the person, firm or corporation that has been refused
such permit may make application to the City Manager for
said permit, whose decision shall be final.
