usat the provision of their charter requires
that the roads to be laid in the center of the
streets and avenues. This Is duty imposed
upon the company by the law. 1t is
also right which the law cenfers. The
company being organized TO pave its road,
the option of the company to select such as
it thought proper, provided that IT was suita Bile,
and such as was ordinarily used for the purpose.
Whether stone is suitable, and the company
had the right to use IL, Is a question to be de-
cided under the condition of things that existed
when the road was constructed and accepted by
Congress. Ii the company had then the right
under rtAe charter to use stone, it must have
that right now. That it was not intended TO
compel the company to take up stone and put
down other material. That to adapt the rail-

they had Alright to park Pennsylvania avenue

to conform to the altered grade and pavements.
If this is correct position, bill for injunction

CONCLUSION Is correct as claimed, then an i'm
junction is the proper remedy to prevent pri-

and doing an unlawful act to the detriment Of
the public; for which reason the ordar dismiss
