It shall be unlawful for any person to erect
or maintain upon any sidewalk, street or public property any signpost
or any post or pole for any purpose.
On any pole of any electric light, power, telephone
or telegraph company used jointly by two or more such companies, each
company shall be allotted a special zone and shall confine its wires
to that zone. Spaces shall be measured from the tops of poles downward,
and a suitable zone on every pole shall at all times be reserved for
the free use of the City in stringing its fire alarm or police telegraph
wires.
The Director of Public Utilities shall cause
all wires, except telephone wires, that have been used for 30 days
and which are known as "dead wires" to be removed at once at the expense
of the owners of such wires. All dead wires of telephone companies
shall be detached from the buildings with which they have been connected.
