Southern California Joint Pole Committee The Joint Pole Committee is made up of a group of member representatives of utilities communications and municipalities in Southern California who hold joint equity interest in utility poles. Established by telephone electricity and railroad companies the Committee has existed since October 10 1906. It was formed as a result of the need to limit the number of poles in the field and to create a uniform procedure for recording ownership of poles. Each member has a vote and shares in the expenses of the Committee according to their joint pole interests.
