Any electric light company, telephone company or any person erecting or placing poles in and about the streets of the city shall be required to place the same so that the outside of such poles shall be sufficiently within the outside edge of the curb line of the sidewalk in and upon such street as to permit the building of a six-inch curbing between the outside of such poles and the street of the city and no poles shall be erected immediately in front of a doorway without permission of the city manager; provided, that wherever it is impossible to erect such poles within the curbing of such street on account of any awning, porch or balcony already erected, such person may be permitted to erect his poles outside of the edge of such curbing, but as near as possible to conform with the preceding requirements of this section. No pole shall be erected within ten feet of any tree without permission of the city manager.
(Amended during 1992 codification: prior code § 20-1-4)

(Prior code § 20-1-5)
