1Opinion of the Court
TAYLOR, Judge.
Minor plaintiff seeks to recover for injuries received when minor plaintiff climbed a metal electric utility pole and came into contact with high voltage electric transmission lines.
Defendant City of Dover [Dover] has moved to dismiss on the ground that Dover is protected from suit by virtue of sovereign immunity and specifically by 10 Del.C. § 4011(a). Plaintiff contends (1) Dover has waived immunity by carrying insurance covering this type of claim, (2) this utility pole was not within the protection of 10 Del.C. § 4012, and (3) that 10 Del.C. § 4012 is unconstitutional.
