§ A221-10. Use of poles and subways by Township.

Said telephone company shall provide free of charge to this Township, as long as this ordinance continues in effect, space on its poles, so long as said poles are occupied by said company, for the placing by this Township of one crossarm or, in lieu thereof, two pins on a crossarm of said company to be designated by it and space in its main subways (not exceeding in the latter one clear duct of standard size) to accommodate the wires or electrical conductors required for signal control in connection with its police patrol, fire alarm telegraph signal systems and traffic signal control systems when the electrical operating characteristics of such systems meet with the approval of the telephone company and are adequately protected with approved protective devices when necessary to ensure the transmission of electrical energy within the limits of that defined for communication circuits in the National Electrical Safety Code, but not to include circuits for the supply of electrical energy for the operation of motors or lighting the traffic or other signals; provided, however, that such crossarms, wires or electrical conductors shall not be installed, used or maintained in such manner as to interfere with the crossarms, wires or electrical conductors which said company, its successors and assigns may then have or may thereafter from time to time place on its poles or in its main subways, and said township shall indemnify and save harmless said telephone company from all claims or suits for damages arising from the attachment to its poles or the location in its main subways of any such crossarms, wires or electrical conductors used by this Township. Before proceeding with the attachment of its said crossarms and/or wires to the poles or the placing of its said electrical conductors in the main subways or manholes of said company, either on the part of itself or on the part of a person, firm or corporation engaged to perform such work, this Township shall give to said company 30 days' notice in writing in order that the work may be performed under the supervision of said company. If any or all of said streets or highways be later taken over by the Board of Chosen Freeholders of the County of Burlington or the State Highway Department, then such Board of Chosen Freeholders or the State Highway Department may use the same clear duct of standard size referred to for their respective police patrol, fire alarm telegraph and traffic signal control systems in conjunction with the Township's use thereof for similar purposes, but only after making such satisfactory arrangements as may be necessary with the Township and the telephone company for the full protection of each other's interests.
