Railroad Cannot
Force Wires Raised

Lincoln, Aug. 4.-(Special 1.-The
right of a railroad company to force
a telephone or electric light company
to raise its wires over crossings of
the road when the former had prior
rights, has been declared against the
railway companies by the State Rail-
way commission, in controversy be-
tween the Northwestern Railroad
company and the electric light COLA,
pany at Bristow, owned by the city.
1t appears that the city council gave
the railroad company the right to run
a spur through its streets. After the
spur was run the railway company
complained that the wires of the. city
electric plant were not strung. high
enough to meet the law and demanded
that the same be raised.
The city appealed to the commits
sion, which declares that where the
rails of the company were laid after
the wire company had strung its
wires that the expense of raising the
wires must be born by the railway
company.
