L. 131.</p> <p>A bridge built by a corporation under the Act of June 14, 1873, P. L. (1874) 421, authorizing the construction thereof “for railroad, wagon and other purposes,” and also authorizing a charge of toll “for the use thereof,” cannot be condemned by the county, where it appears that the corporation occupied the entire bridge with the tracks of a railroad, and only permitted the use of it to the public generally as a toll bridge, when it was not in actual use for railroad purposes.</p>
