Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>(1) This case Is controlled by the principles announced in J. I. Kirk et al vs. Kansas City. Shreveport & Gulf Railway Co., No. 13,042, decided at the same time.</p> <p>72) A railroad company must construct at Its own cost necessary crossings over Its road bed, so as to enable owners whose lands have been separated by the same to have access from one part to the other. The failure of the land owner in granting the right-of-way to stipulate that such crossings should be constructed does not Impair his right to have the same made.
