Topic'Missing comma' in 1948 document leads to legal dispute over power lines

Claiming that the lack of a comma indicates a different intended meaning of the clause results in poor sentence structure ("right to trim, cut and remove" has both a spurious comma and a missing conjunction and would be correctly written as "right to trim and to cut and remove").

Interpreting the sentence as being grammatically correct already means that "trim," "cut," and "remove" are all separate actions that may be utilized by the utility to guarantee right-of-way for power lines on an otherwise privately-owned property.
