installed, at the owner's expense, metal pole streetlights serviced
by underground conduit in accordance with a plan to be prepared by
the Philadelphia Electric Company and approved by the Board of Supervisors
in conformity to a general standard of streetlighting established
by the Board of Supervisors. The equipment of metal poles may be waived
in such instances as approved by the Zoning Officer due to the existence
of wooden poles already in place. Provision shall be made for engineering
said lighting after 50% or more of the dwellings in a given subdivision

have been occupied. The owner shall be responsible for all charges
or rates of the streets lighted until such time that the streets are

thereto.
