COMMISSION IS
P0WERLEsS, SAYS
CLANCY OPINION
Cannot Compel Railroads to
Fence Rights of Way or
Award Damages in Case of
Injury.
fspsel.l olspAroa 70 uoeslao JouspAlr

Santa Fe, July l5.--That railroads
are required by statute to fence their
rights of way in New Mexico and are
liable for damages where they fail to
do so but thar the state corporation
commission has no jurisdiction to
compel the railroads 10 fence or 10
award damages In case of injury, is
the gist OF an opinion handed down
To-Day BIZ Assistant Attorney General
Harry $ Clancy The question was
raised by complaints of \. j Evans
and other citizens Of Elida, and II.
Penikett of Malaga, Eddy county. The
matter had been pending for some
time before the corporation commits
sion which ought to act as inferno
diary between the Santa Fe Railway
company and the complainants, hut
il could effect no compromise and
Upon the above opinion being render
ed, had to dismiss the complaints II
would cost the railroad $4,000 To
fence it's right of way at Elida.
The opinion says.
am I'm receipt of your letter of
even date, with accompanying papers
which include petition addressed To-
you by residents in the vicinity Of Eli
da. y. NJ. asking that the commission
require the Eastern Railway com
pany of New Mexico to fence its right
Of way for a distance of some sixteen
miles In the vicinity of Elida.
Has No Jurisdiction.
You say in your letter that you are
unable to discover that any jnrisdic
ton is conferred upon the commission
to enter an order requiring the rail-
road company to erect such fences.
After . careful investigation, | agree
that the state corporation commission
has no jurisdiction in a matter Of this
kind.
The law of New Mexico upon the
subject Of the fencing of a right OF
way BY a railway company is To be
found at sections PAL, PAP and 243 Of
the compiled laws of 1887, section 24l
having been amended by section OF
chapter Sc, session laws of 1901. Sec
ton PAL, above referred to, requires
railroad companies to maintain
fences on the sides of their road, and
a failure to so fence makes a rail-
road company liable in damages when
ever any cattle, horses sheep, mules.
burros or hogs shall be killed. injured
or destroyed by such company or by
its agents, trains, cars or locomotives,
at any point on its line of road which
is by law. required to be fenced. II
would thus seem that in case of the
killing or iniuring of an animal by
railroad company, the matter Is
purely between the owner of the ami
NAL so killed or injured, and the COM
pany. and if such matter cannot be
adjusted resort must be
had to the courts.
As before stated, ] have been un-
able to discover anything In our laws
which would authorize the state cor
poration commission TO require rail-
road company to fence its right Of
way, and | take il that your interest
in this question, as evidenced by your
correspondence, was actuated merely
by motive of promoting a better
feeling between the petitioners above
referred to, and the railroad company

AS conceded to Your Mr. Williams,
station facilities will In the course Of

required az some point. We had con
templated either putting in box car

WINGED that either OF these devices
would he waste of money In that II
would be but a short time compare
lively speaking, until regular station
facilities would be required by the

should defer this issue "A few days and
determine. II possible. which location
in the valley, viz. Messe Myndus or
Carne, will become the business cen
ter Of the Mimbres valley, and select
that location for the erection Of com-
plete station facilities.
we would also advise that check
of our revenues received in the vat
lev during the past year would hardly
warrant the expenditures required for
complete station facilities at the pres
lent time. but concedc that with the
growth now evident i'm that territory,
these facilities must soon come. We
therefore feel that We should he pro-
tectcd against these preliminary eN-
penditures that will, In the course OF
"A few months, become useless, ana
now provide In the meantime for the
construction of facilities that VIII be
adequate and meet the demands of the
growing section after 1t has been def
initely determined by all concerned
lust where these should be placed.
Being in sense a newcomer In the
territory, | am contemplating a trip
early next week into the Mimbres vail
ley and at that time will cover the
entire territory by auto, familihrizins
myself with the entire situation.
