The Selectmen shall annually appoint an Inspector of Wires.
Such Inspector shall supervise every wire over or under streets
or buildings in Town, and every wire within a building designed to
carry an electric light, heat or power current; shall notify the person
owning or operating any such wire whenever its attachments, insulation,
supports or appliances are improper or unsafe, or whenever the tags
or marks thereof are insufficient or illegible. The Inspector shall,
at the expense of the Town, remove every wire, the use of which has
been abandoned, and shall see that all laws and regulations relative
to wires are strictly enforced.
The Town may recover in contract from the owner of any such
wire so removed the expense which it has incurred for the removal
thereof.
