Clause 25

When under the foregoing provisions of this Ordinance a telegraph line or post has been placed by the Board under, over, along, across, in or upon any property not being property vested in or under the control or management of a statutory authority, and any person entitled to do so desires to deal with that property in such a manner as to render it necessary or convenient that the telegraph line or post should be removed to another part thereof or to a higher or lower level or altered in form, he may require the Board to remove or alter such line or post accordingly.

If compensation has been paid under subsection (4) of section 17 of this Ordinance he shall, when making the requisition, tender to the Board the amount requisite to defray the expense of the removal or alteration of such line or post or half the amount paid as compensation, whichever is the smaller sum.

If the Board omits to comply with the requisition, the person making it may apply to a Magistrate’s Court to order the removal or alteration of such line or post.

Any such Court may, in its discretion, reject the application or make an order, absolute or subject to conditions, for the removal of such line or post to any other part of the property or to a higher or lower level or for the alteration of its form, and the order so made shall be final.
