Sec. 4.
No such company shall have the right to erect any poles, posts,
piers, abutments, wires or other fixtures of their lines along or upon any
public ground outside the corporate limits of a city, town or village,
without the consent of the county board of the county in which such public
ground is situated, nor upon any public ground within any incorporated
city, town or village, without the consent of the corporate authorities of
such city, town or village. The consent herein required must be in writing,
and shall be recorded in the recorder's office of the county. And such
county board, or the city council, or board of trustees of such city, town
or village, as the case may be, shall have power to direct any alteration
in the location or erection of any such poles, posts, piers or abutments,
and also in the height of the wires, having first given the company or its
agent opportunity to be heard in regard to such alteration.
The right of any such company to erect such structures, wires or
fixtures within the right of way of any public highway is subject to the
provisions of Section 9-113 of the "Illinois Highway Code" as the same may
from time to time be amended.
