operating tin electric railway over the public roads of worcester township the defendant company was char tered as an electric railway corporation on july 98 1903 it obtained its grant under the act of may 14 1n8i anil the act of june 7 1901 the route de bcribetl in the charter beglnd in the irongh of bonderton ut main and chestnut streets and from thence runs along chestnut street to wile avenue and over and along wile avenue to a public road leading to reliance the ronte passes thence through the town ships of franconia lower balford and skippack the route then enters into the township of

that any abutting property owner in the townships had refused collsfint is not enough consent is essential to the right tn build at all and the de fendant was bold to show it affirma tively " — hunnrmi vs railway com pany supna this may not be a seri ous matter no doubt these consents can be secured we can find nothing in the act of june ?, 1901 p l , 5)4 that changes the line of decision that the consent of all the municipalities must be ob tained before any part of the road can be built the act just cited declares that the company snail have two years in which to secure the oobmnt and hiring this period 110 rival company can interfere this protection gives all the less excuse for an attempt to begin construction before all the con sents are obtained the late case of coatesville and downingtown rail way company vs west chester rail way company i(ii pa 40 decides no more than this that the act of 1901 was intended to protect the charter of a company from the danger of having its privileges taken away during two years by the superior activity of a wealthy and influential rival it may be well for the company to consider whether work done before april 1 h>()4 will protect its worces ter consent if such work was done without any warrant of law this midnight construction does not com mend itself to our favor if the super visors knew at the time the consent was given that the company intended to make a divergence at fairview vil lage over private grounds it may well be that the agreement was intended tension to begin at the toll gate of the harleysville and konders turnpike road at the head of main street of the boroupli of ftoudertou thence along said main street for the distance of 1275 feet to summit avenue and the tracks of the philadelphia and i.ehigh valley traction company the char ter route is located on streets within the borough of souderton it is claimed that the extension does not fall within the said borough limits the township of worcester gave its consent to the defendant construct and operate its railway over certain roads in said township " the written agreement with the township supervisors gives the right and privi lege to lay tracks upon the public road running from fairview village and centre point and also between centre point and the skippuck township line on either side of said highway which may be found necessary and

the located line then di verges from the creamery road and crosses over private grounds until it meets the trooper road beyond the limits of worcester township this diversion was made to escape tin

seems appropriate in this connection : the most-talkeil-oi fanner in america today is a main who 20 years ago inherited lii acres of worn-out hind near philadelphia and began to study the problem of redeeming it the land was then so poor that it would not sup port one liorse and two cows the owner of the farm had to buy fodder to get them through the first winter dairy-farms usually occupy ii large area many cattlemen in the west believe that they niiist have three or four acres to a cow the farm near philadelphia is a dairy-fiirm yet the 15 acres furnished the entire support summer and winter for two horses anil more than 5o cows all the animals are of well-bred stock and well-kept the milk is of the richest and brings the highest price the oint is that no other j^razing laud in the united states is so profit able us this little farm so remarkable is the result that the department of agricultural is planning to devote nu entire bulletin to it an expert of the department estimates

operating tin electric railway over the public roads of worcester township the defendant company was char tered as an electric railway corporation on july 98 1903 it obtained its grant under the act of may 14 1n8i anil the act of june 7 1901 the route de bcribetl in the charter beglnd in the irongh of bonderton ut main and chestnut streets and from thence runs along chestnut street to wile avenue and over and along wile avenue to a public road leading to reliance the ronte passes thence through the town ships of franconia lower balford and skippack the route then enters into the township of

that any abutting property owner in the townships had refused collsfint is not enough consent is essential to the right tn build at all and the de fendant was bold to show it affirma tively " — hunnrmi vs railway com pany supna this may not be a seri ous matter no doubt these consents can be secured we can find nothing in the act of june ?, 1901 p l , 5)4 that changes the line of decision that the consent of all the municipalities must be ob tained before any part of the road can be built the act just cited declares that the company snail have two years in which to secure the oobmnt and hiring this period 110 rival company can interfere this protection gives all the less excuse for an attempt to begin construction before all the con sents are obtained the late case of coatesville and downingtown rail way company vs west chester rail way company i(ii pa 40 decides no more than this that the act of 1901 was intended to protect the charter of a company from the danger of having its privileges taken away during two years by the superior activity of a wealthy and influential rival it may be well for the company to consider whether work done before april 1 h>()4 will protect its worces ter consent if such work was done without any warrant of law this midnight construction does not com mend itself to our favor if the super visors knew at the time the consent was given that the company intended to make a divergence at fairview vil lage over private grounds it may well be that the agreement was intended tension to begin at the toll gate of the harleysville and konders turnpike road at the head of main street of the boroupli of ftoudertou thence along said main street for the distance of 1275 feet to summit avenue and the tracks of the philadelphia and i.ehigh valley traction company the char ter route is located on streets within the borough of souderton it is claimed that the extension does not fall within the said borough limits the township of worcester gave its consent to the defendant construct and operate its railway over certain roads in said township " the written agreement with the township supervisors gives the right and privi lege to lay tracks upon the public road running from fairview village and centre point and also between centre point and the skippuck township line on either side of said highway which may be found necessary and
