Summary
In Coan v. Public Serv. Electric Gas Co., 105 N.J.L. 487, 489, 144 A. 917, the power company contended that it was not liable for injuries sustained by the plaintiffs when their automobile collided with an electric light pole in the traveled portion of the highway, since the pole was placed, with the permission of the proper city authorities in the position which it occupied, but the Supreme Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey negatived this contention.
