Syllabus

<p>Street railways — Municipal consent — Repair of streets.</p> <p>Where a city by various ordinances granting consent to different street railway companies to use streets, provides that in case a single track is laid, the company must, both as to original paving or subsequent repair, pave and repave the space between the tracks, and an additional width of two feet outside of each rail, while in case of double tracks the company must originally pave the space between the two tracks, between the rails of each track and two feet outside of the rails, and keep in repair the whole street from curb to curb, a company which changes its line from a double track to a single track will not be obliged thereafter to repave from curb to curb, where the ordinance authorizing the change provides that the single track substituted for the double track shall be “subject to all of the provisions of existing ordinances in respect to single track railways on the streets of this city.”</p>
