may from time to time be necessary
Tin the opinion of the company fol
the use and operation of said rail-
ways.
This Bill appears Objectionable as
the application of the grant extends
to all time and to all roads hereafter
authorized and the use is not guarded
by proper conditions and restrictions
Under its terms there is only the con-
sent of the Superintendent of Public
Works standing between the Public
and the occupancy by such railroads
of any and every street and road in
the Territory.
The General Railway Act gives au
thority to cross a street or road, but
it does not give authority to construct
along and upon any street, road, etc
This Bill should not become law in
it's present form but the Objectionable
features may be eliminated by proper
amendments which we recommended
as follows:
In line 1 of ection 1 strike out the
words cor hereafter"
Amend Section 3 to read as follows:
Section g. Said Railroad Compa-
MES with the consent of the Superin-
tendent of Public Works shall have
the right to provide, construct and
install, maintain, change and repair
such means for the transmission and
return of electric, compressed air, or
othe motive power for the such mo,
tive purposes along, upon and over
such highways, streets or roads as
may from time to time be necessary
for the operation of said railroads
provided, however, that said railroad
companies shall SO exercise this right
that unnecessary injury or deterlo
ration shall nor be done to the water
pipes, sewer pipes, gas pipes, or other
property of the Territory, or any per
son or corporation and shall save the
said Territory, or any person or cor
poration harmless and Unidentified
from all loss, cost, damage and ex
pense by reason thereof"
Strike out Section as superfiuous
Number Section to read Section
g."
