manufacturing or lumber getting has acquired the right of way for a
tramway or railway, except across or upon a public highway, and desires
to cross or pass upon such highway, or some part thereof, it shall be
lawful for the county court of the county in which such highway may
be, to prescribe such regulations for the crossing or passing upon such
highway as will protect the public, and when such reculations have been
prescr ibed, such tramway or railway may be constructed and maintained,
or if already constructed may be maintained, in accordance with such
regulations as may be made on the application of the owners of such
tramway or railway or on the motion of the attorney for the common-
wealth after notice to such owner.
2. The board of supervisors, or the applicant or owner of the tram-
way or railway may appeal from the order of the county court in the
manner prescribed for appeals in controversies concerning roads.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as giving the right
to ‘condemn ‘private property for such tramway or railway.
. This act shall be in force from its passage.
