an order on the receiver Of the Wabash
system TO have the road known ~ the

The order was refused, the Court declaring
that railroads are governmental instltu-

mon carriers. Tho right 20 build
road through private property was
granted on the representation that the
road would furnish transportation tor the
public The people are dependent upon
such roads for transportation. The courts
have no right 10 deprive the people Of this
