Chatfeld's counsel claims that the Board of Public Works has no power to permit the erection of telegraph poles, and that the statute provides that telegraph companies must obtain permission of the owner adjoin- ing whose land they erect poles, if he refuses they must then obtain the written approval of county commissioner and that a county commissioner can only give such approval after giving notice to the owner, and after hearing of both parties. This is an inter estine question as the Board of Public Works has for some time been in the habit of granting permission to erect telegraph poles.
