insure that the private pole, electrical appurtenances and aerial wire authorized by Section 1 do not exceed the dimensions set forth in Section 1;
(e)
carry public liability and property damage insurance co-naming the City of Philadelphia as an insured party in such amounts as shall be satisfactory to the City Solicitor;
