travel some 200 miles from the plains

by special regulations dating from the
fourteenth century. At certain times
no one may travel the same route as
the sheep, which have the right to
Craze on all open and common land or

lgan, Ohio 4 Indiana Railroad COM
pany versus The Toledo. Ann Arbor q
Detroit Railroad company. ct al
The latter company is building q
tine from Toledo to Ann Arbor ana
when IL got as far as Petersburg Il
struck snag In the shape OF the re-
fusal of one lot owner to allow the
crossing OF his land. The owner re-
fused TO set a price upon the property
and the railroad company was prepar-
ing to condemn II according to law
when the owners son. who is an at
torney. conceived the idea OF organiz-
ing railroad company for the least
capitalization allowed by law and deed
ting the desired property TO the new
company. This would make Il impos-
sible TO condemn the land, since there
is statute forbidding one railroad
company TO condemn the right OF way
OF another railroad company unless
such right Of way has been unused for
three years.
This plan was carried out The new
roih Dad company now contends that
the purpose OF its organization can
not be questioned and that II had a
right TO IA corporate for this purpose.
If this con 'eution is correct IL will
practically nIllify the law OF eminent
domain in so far as railroads are con-
cerned. since any Ohjectlng land owner
can organize little railroad company
or his own and effectually prevent con-
demnation.
