Sec. 493(12). How city wires located.
The uppermost zone on every pole shall at all times be reserved
for the free use of the City in stringing its fire alarms or police
telegraph wires; and no person, firm or corporation shall run
any wire above said City wires, or within less than twenty-two
inches of them, or cross over them, but whenever it becomes
necessary to move the said City wires for any reason the person,
firm or corporation for whose benefit they are moved shall, at
the expense of such person, firm or corporation, provide for
them a place above all the other wires at least twenty-six inches
from them, and shall notify the City Electrician, who shall
supervise and direct the moving of said City wires, so that they
shall at all times occupy said uppermost zone.
