§ 42-1-8. Public lighting department may require wires to be put in conduits.
Whenever the public lighting department shall deem it to be in the public interest, it may require as a condition to the issuing of any permit under this article, that the wires shall be laid in conduits, and if any wires shall be strung on poles along any highway and conduits shall afterwards be laid therein, the public lighting department may require the wires so strung upon poles to be taken down and in their stead suitable wires put in the conduits, and, upon any refusal to do so, may remove the same. The public lighting department may prescribe the terms and conditions upon which conduits shall be used for such purpose.
