As to such equipment, the Electrical Inspector shall have and exercise the powers and duties that by the terms of such sections are vested in the City Manager or the designee of the City Manager with respect to gas mains, pipelines, and appurtenances thereto. The Electrical Inspector shall so direct the placing, stringing, and attaching of wires upon poles erected in the streets and alleys of the city that the same shall cause as little obstruction, either to travel in the streets or to the use and enjoyment of private property, as is compatible with the public interest.
