C.,C.,C. & ST.L. RY. CO. v. THE VILLAGE OF DE GRAFF.
Lighting Railroad Track — Notice of passing of ordinance requiring a railroad company to light its crossings must be made to owner of the railroad; notice to company’s agent notjeffectual.
See s. c., 41 W. L. B., 137.
Error to the Court of Common Pleas of Logan county.
The city sued the corporation to recover money for electric lights erected at the railroad crossings. The common pleas court gave the city of De Graff judgment, and the case was carried up.

Opinion:
PEB CUBIAM.
The notification of the passing of an ordinance requiring lights to be erected at railroad crossings must be made to an owner of the company in question, and not to an agent, as was the case, and this must be done twenty days before the penalty is demanded. A notice served upon a company's agent is ineffectual. Judgment reversed.
