Repealed by S.L. 1963, ch. 322, § 2.
49-02-21. Power of commission to regulate raising and lowering of electric supply and communication lines. The public service commission shall have power: 1. To regulate the raising and lowering of electric supply and communication lines to permit the movement of buildings or other bulky objects; and to adopt and promulgate, after notice and hearing, reasonable rules and regulations pertaining thereto. 2. To require, after notice and hearing, increased clearances in specific locations where electric supply and communication lines cross public roads and streets, provided that the movement of buildings or other bulky objects thereon is sufficiently frequent to so warrant.
49-02-22. Charges for raising and lowering lines - Reimbursement for unreasonable delay. Any party requesting the raising or lowering of electric supply and communication lines shall be required to pay not more than the actual cost reasonably and necessarily incurred therefor. The commission shall, upon application, and after notice and hearing, review and determine the reasonableness of any charges assessed for the raising and lowering of electric supply and communication lines, and if said charges are found unreasonable, the commission shall fix a just and reasonable charge; provided, however, that any person, firm, corporation, or limited liability company in charge of electric supply or communication lines, who shall fail, except for good cause, to have said lines raised or lowered to permit the movement of buildings or other bulky objects at the time agreed upon, shall be liable for reasonable costs, damages, and expenses occasioned by such unreasonable delay.
