46 F. 546 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Western Arkansas | 1891
The plaintiffs filed their bill in equity to obtain an injunction against the defendant. They allege that the defendant corporation, by virtue of an act of congress entitled “An act to authorize the Kansas & Arkansas Valley Ry. Co. to construct and operate a railway through the Indian Territory, and for other purposes,” approved June 1, 1886, were invested and empowered with the right of locating, constructing, owning, equipping, operating, using, and maintaining a railway and telegraph and telephone line through the Indian Territory,, beginning at a point on the eastern line of said territory, at or near the 'city of Ft. Smith, in the state of Arkansas; thence running, by the most feasible and practicable route, in a north-westerly direction, through the Indian Territory, between the Arkansas river and Cowley county, and the Caney river, in Chautauqua county, Kan., as said corporation may select; and also another branch line, which is not relevant to the issues involved in this case, “with the right to construct, use, and maintain such tracks, turn-outs, and sidings as said company may deem it their interest to construct along and upon the right of way and depot grounds herein provided for.” That by the second section of said act said corporation was “authorized to take and use for all purposes of a railway, and for no other purpose,” a right of way 100 feet in width through said Indián Territory, for said main line and branch of said corporation,, and—
“To take and use a strip of land 200 feet in width, with the length of three thousand feet, in addition to the right of way, for stations, for every 10 miles of road, with the right to use such additional grounds, where there are heavy cuts or fills, as may be necessary for the construction and maintenance of the road-bed, not exceeding 100 feet in width on each side of said right of way, or as much thereof as may be included in such cut or fill: provided, that no more than said addition of land shall be taken for any one station: provided, further, that no part Of the lands herein authorized to be taken shall be leased or sold by the company, and they shall not be used except in such manner and for such purpose only as shall be necessary for the construction and convenient*549 operation of said railroad, telegraph, and telephone lines; and, when any portion thereof shall cease to be so used, such portion shall revert to the nation or tribe of Indians from which the same shall have been taken.”
—That the third section of said act provided a method for the condemnation of said right of way, and provided that full compensation should be paid the occupants of the right of way by the railway company before its road should be constructed for “all property to be taken or damage done by reason of the construction of such railway.” That by virtue of the said act of congress the said defendant proceeded to locate and construct its roads. That defendant now has a large portion of said road in operation. That the road is constructed down to a point on the Arkansas river opposite to Ft. Smith, in the state of Arkansas, where said defendant now has in progress of construction, and almost completed, a railway, passenger, and wagon bridge across the Arkansas river. The bill further alleges that for several years last past the plaintiffs have been the owners and individual occupants, and as such have held, and now hold and occupy, the land in the Cherokee Nation opposite the city of Ft. Smith for several hundred yards both above and below the point where said bridge is located, and extending back several hundred yards from the bank of said river in said Cherokee Nation, and on both sides of said railway. That heretofore the said defendant, under the provisions of the said act of congress, condemned a right of way 100 feet wide through said lands of plaintiffs, as described in said bill of plaintiffs; for a railway bridge, and for railway, telegraph, and telephone purposes, and for no other purpose. That defendant has been in the quiet, undisturbed, and peaceful possession of said right of way ever since. That, long after said lands were condemned for the purposes aforesaid, the defendant conceived the idea in constructing the bridge hereinbefore described of converting it to or making it a passenger and wagon bridge. That the defendant secured the passage of another act of congress entitled “An act to authorize the construction of a bridge over the Arkansas river, in the Indian Territory,” approved March 15,1890. That said act of congress provided, among other things—
“That tbe Kansas & Arkansas Railway Co., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of Arkansas, and being empowered by act of congress approved June 1, 1886, to construct its railway from a point on the eastern boundary line of tbe Indian Territory at or near Ft. ¡Smith, Arkansas, through said territory, in a north-west direction, to a point on the northern boundary line of said territory, with the power to build a branch as therein provided, the construction and operation of which said line of railway involves the construction of a bridge across the Arkansas river, in the Indian Territory, from a point at or near Ft. Smith, be, and the said Kansas & Arkansas Valley Railway, its successors and assigns, are hereby, authorized and empowered to construct said bridge across said river, and to maintain and operate the same as a railway, passenger, and wagon bridge.”
The act further provides that the rates of toll which shall be charged for vehicles and foot passengers over said bridge shall be the. same as those now established for like service by the laws of Arkansas. The bill further alleges that under and by virtue of the last-named act said bridge
The court, upon the showing made in the bill, issued such temporary restraining order, and also a subpcena giving notice to defendant to appear on the next rule-day of this court, and plead to or answer the bill of plaintiffs. The defendant, by its counsel, filed a demurrer to the bill, and for cause thereof said:
“(1) That said bill fails to set up facts sufficient to constitute a good cause of action against this defendant. (2) That said bill fails to set up facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action for equitable relief against this defend*551 ant. (8) There is no equity in said bill. (4) That plaintiffs have full, complete, and adequate remedy at law by reason of any damages or injury suffered as alleged in said bill.”
At the same time defendant filed its motion to dissolve the temporary injunction heretofore granted in the case, for the reason—
“(1) That said writ of injunction was issued without any notice of any kind whatever made or had upon this defendant. (2) The granting of the same without notice was in violation of section 3738 of Mansfield’s Digest, which, by act of congress approved May 2, 1890, was extended over and made the law of the courts having jurisdiction in the Indian Territory. (3) The granting of said injunction without notice was in violation of equity rule 55, governing United States courts in all equity proceedings. (4) Because the acts of thedefendant in the premises in no manner worked an irreparable injury or wrong against plaintiffs. (5) Because defendant did not begin nor attempt to build approaches to its bridge for foot passengers and wagon-way either on the laud of plaintiffs or off of its right of way upon lands belonging to any one else. (6) Because the plaintiffs have a full, complete, and adequate remedy at law, if the defendant, as alleged, is guilty of any trespass upon their rights, land, or other property. (7) Because said bill fails to set up facts sufficient, or any facts at all, which entitle the complainant to the interposition of a court of equity. (8) Because there is no equity in said bill entitling complainants to a writ of injunction or other equitable relief, as prayed for in said bill. ”
By agreement the demurrer and motion to dissolve were heard by the court at the same time.
The first question to be considered is whether the temporary injunction should be dissolved because there was no notice given to the defendant of an application for the same before the same was granted. It is manifest that the court, in determining the question of granting a temporary injunction in this case, is not governed by the statute law of the state of Arkansas that may have been, by an act of congress, extended over the Indian country; but it is governed solely by the laws of congress, or the rules of the supreme court regulating equity practice, and the general rules of procedure in equity cases applicable to the equity practice in the courts of the United States. It may be remarked that this court does not have jurisdiction of this case because of the extension of the laws of Arkansas over the Indian Territory by the' act of congress of May 2,1890, but it has jurisdiction because there is involved in it a federal question. The rights of the parties litigant necessitate the construction of an act of congress. The rights of the parties arise under a law of the United States, and involve the construction thereof; Under the clause of the act of congress of 1793, which provided: “Nor shall a writ of injunction be granted in any case without reasonable previous notice to the adverse party or his attorney of the time and place of moving the same,” — a temporary injunction or restraining order could not be granted without notice to the adverse party. But the part of the act of 1793 as above set out has been repealed by section 7 of the act of June 1, 1872. This section is now section 718 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which is as follows:
*552 “Whenever notice is given for a motion for an injunction out of a circuit or district court, the court or j'udge thereof may, if there appears to be danger of irreparable injury from delay, grant an order restraining the act sought to be enjoined until'the decision upon the motion; and such order maybe granted with or without security, in the discretion of the court or judge.”
As the rule of equity practice is now established by the above section of the law, if a bill is filed for an injunction, and a subpoena is issued notifying the defendant to appear on a rule-day, and if, in the mean time, there is a danger that an irreparable injury may be- committed, the court, in the exercise of a sound discretion, will issue a temporary restraining order without notice. Chicago, B. & Q. Ry. Co. v. Burlington, C. R. & N. Ry. Co., 34 Fed. Rep. 481; Central Trust Co. v. Wabash, St. L. & P. Ry. Co., 25 Fed. Rep. 1. By the allegations in this bill the injury complained of would have been fully sustained before a hearing could be had in the case, and therefore, if the party is entitled to an injunction to prevent the injury, without power in the court to temporarily restrain, it would be useless to him when he obtained the same. The point that no notice was given of the temporary restraining order is not, in my judgment, well taken in this case.
The defendant, in its motion to dissolve the injunction, for further cause thereof, states that its act in no manner worked an irreparable injury or wrong against plaintiffs, and that they have a full, complete, and adequate remedy at law, if defendant is guilty of any trespasses upon the rights of plaintiffs, their lands or other property. These allegations go to affect the equity jurisdiction of the court, to which the right to issue an injunction belongs. By section 723 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, “suits in equity shall not be sustained in either of the courts of the United States in any case where a plain, adequate, and coin píete remedy may be had at law.” This section of the statute “is merely declaratory, and made no change in the pre-existing law.” Lewis v. Cocks, 23 Wall. 466. It served merely to emphasize the rule already existing. New York, etc., Co. v. Memphis Water Co., 107 U. S. 214, 2 Sup. Ct. Rep. 279. If merely declaratory of the rule then existing, if we can find, from interpretations of the rules fixing equity and law jurisdiction by the courts of the country, when equity will take jurisdiction, we willdiave a rule for our guidance which we can safely follow. In Lewis v. Cocks, 23 Wall. 470, the supreme court of the United States said:
“To bar equitable relief the legal remedy must be equally effectual with the equitable remedy as to all the rights of the complainant. Where the remedy at law is not as practicable and efficient to the ends of justice and its prompt administration, the aid of equity'may be invoked.”
The same court, in Kilbourn v. Sunderland, 130 U. S. 514, 9 Sup. Ct. Rep. 594, says:
“The jurisdiction in equity attaches unless the legal remedy, both in respect to the final relief and the mode of obtaining it, is as efficient as the remedy which equity would confer under the same circumstances.”
“Judges have been brought to see, and to acknowledge, contrary to the opinion of Chancellor Kent, that the common-law theory of not interfering with persons until they shall have actually committed a wrong is fundamentally erroneous; and that a remedy which prevents a threatened wrong is, in its essential nature, better than a remedy which permits a wrong to be done, and then attempts to pay for it by the pecuniary damages which a jury may assess.”
In Com. v. Railroad Co., 24 Pa. St. 159, the supreme court of that state, in a most able opinion, declares that the courts will interfere by injunction to prevent wrongs of a repeated and continued character, but which occasion damages which are estimable only by conjecture, and not by any accurate standard, and that this is what is meant by irreparable damages, or mischief, in injunction cases. If this be so, then, when a state of case of that description exists, the damage is regarded as irreparable; and, if irreparable, it must be of a kind for which a party docs not have a plain, adequate, and complete remedy at law, for, if he has such remedy at law, the damage is not irreparable. If the remedy at law is not as plain, adequate, and complete as one obtainable in equity in case of a continued trespass, the party may prevent the injury by injunction, rather than wait until it is done, and then look for his damages in a court of law. High, Inj. § 702, says:
“It is frequently a matter of difficulty to determine what constitutes such a degree of irreparable injury as to warrant a court of equity in enjoining what might otherwise seem to be an ordinary act of trespass, for which an adequate remedy at law might lie found. * * * When the trespass complained of is repeated or continued, in the nature of a nuisance, or when the wrongful acts continued, or threatened to be continued, may become the foundation of adverse rights, and occasion a multiplicity of suits to recover damages, the case presents such equitable features as to entitle complainant to the aid of an injunction. So, too, a trespass which is continued, and will ripen into an easement, may properly be enjoined.”
Mr. Foster, in his Federal Practice, (section 215,) says that—
“Injunctions to restrain trespasses are only granted when the trespass is destructive or continued. * * * An attempt by a railroad company to build its road upon private property without payment of compensation may be thus prevented.”
Again, at section 210, he says it maybe granted “to suppress the continuance of a public or a private nuisance; to prevent a threatened destructive trespass.” A private nuisance is anything done to the hurt oí'
“If his rights of property are about to be destroyed without the authority of law, or if lawless danger impends over them by persons acting under color of law, when the law gives them no powrer, or when it is abused, misapplied, exceeded, or not strictly pursued, and the act impending would subject the party committing it to damages in a court of law for a trespass, a court of equity will enjoin its commission.”
In Railroad Co. v. Owings, 15 Md. 199, the court held “that a E. E. Company may be enjoined from constructing its road without authority over private property, for the use of which it has not paid or tendered compensation, whether or not the injury is irreparable.” In Bird v. Railroad Co., 8 Rich. Eq. 46, the court held that—
“An injunction will be granted where the act complained of is attended with permanent results, destroying or materially altering the estate, or where defendants are attempting to make permanent appropriation of land admitted or proved to belong to plaintiff, and the license or warrant of the defendant to encroach upon it is deemed doubtful by the court. That a R. R. Company will be enjoined from appropriating land admitted or proved to belong to a plaintiff, when not authorized to do so by its charter.”
These principles affecting equity jurisdiction are generally sustained by the English equity courts. This is the source of our chancery jurisdiction. The American chanceiy courts are generally as clear and explicit as are the English chancery courts in sustaining chancery jurisdiction in cases such as I have referred to. This is the rule as to jurisdiction that is simply declared by section 728 of the Revised Statutes of the United States. The doctrine of the above cases is fully sustained by the case of Griffing v. Gibb, 2 Black, 519. This was a case where an injunction was prayed to prevent injury to a city lot in San Francisco. The case of Eidemiller v. Wyandotte City, 2 Dill. 376, is a case where an injunction was prayed to prevent the making of an embankment on a road that had been laid off through the land of plaintiff; but the same had not been condemned and paid for. It was objected by the defendant that the complainants are not entitled to an injunction, because the injury complained of was not irreparable, and because they have a full and adequate remedy at law. In reply to this Judge DilloN said:
*555 “I deem it unnecessary to follow the counsel in their discussion. The making of a high embankment of great width and length, to be used as a public road-wav, falls, I think, within the legal notion of an irreparable injury, and gives a clear and recognized right to an injunction.”
The same principle is recognized in Northern Pac. R. Co. v. St. Paul, M. & M. R. Co., 1 McCrary, 302, 3 Fed. Rep. 702. There can, I think, be no doubt of the right of plaintiffs to an injunction, provided they have any equity growing out of any injury to a right they may possess. The defendant asserts that “there is no equity in said bill entitling complainants to a writ of injunction, or other equitable relief prayed for in the bill.” This depends on the right or interest plaintiffs may have remaining in the property, which has, by right of eminent domain, been taken in accordance with lawr, and paid for, to be used for a specific purpose, and no other; for using for any other purpose was expressly prohibited by act of congress of June 1, 1886. Section 2 declares “that said corporation is authorized to take and use for all purposes of a railway, and for no other purpose, a right of way,” etc. The same section further provides that the lands herein authorized to bo taken “shall not be used except in such manner and for such purpose only as shall be necessary for the construction and convenient operation of said railroad, telegraph, and telephone lines.” If any other use than for railroad purposes would cast an additional burden on the land of plaintiffs, the same could not be used for any other purpose than that for which it was condemned, unless express authority, or authority by necessary implication, was given, authorizing condemnation for such additional use. We do not find in this case any such authority given as would authorize the use of the right of way for any other than railroad purposes, but, on the contrary, we find such use expressly prohibited by the act of congress of June 1, 1886. It was under this act of congress that the right of way was condemned, upon the application of defendant, and the same was paid for as condemned by it. This power, granted by this act of congress, must be exercised for the purpose for which the power was granted, and for no other purpose; for lands acquired by corporations for a specified purpose cannot be used for others. Green’s Brice, Ultra Vires, pp. 104, 109-112; Imlay v. Railroad Co., 26 Conn. 255; Telegraph Co. v. Smith, 18 Atl. Rep. 910. The land taken by defendant in this case, under the act of congress of June 1, 1886, was taken in invitum, and defendant only acquired an easement to it, and such easement as the act of congress authorized. But does the use of the railroad right of way by defendant for the purpose of building a wagon and passenger bridge subject the land of plaintiffs to a new use which injuriously affects the same? If it is a new use which does not injuriously affect the value of their land, then their estate in such land is not injuriously affected by the supervening servitude, and there is not a taking of their property. In every case where there is a taking of private property for public use it must be with just compensation. Article 5, Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. What is meant by the taking of private property, or, rather, what is meant by an additional taking? There has been one tak
“Subjection of the ¡and to an easement, or any other burden incompatible with the dominion of the owner, or the serious interference with the use or the enjoyment of the property, it will be deemed a taking, within the meaning of the organic law. An incident annexed to land maybe of value, and to wrest such a thing from the owner for a public use is to take from him his property. The term ‘ property ’ is by no means limited to land itself, but embraces all the incidents which give value to the owner, and includes the right which pertains to the ownership of things real and personal; and, whenever there is a direct and substantia! invasion of these rights, there is a taking, in the-constitutional sense, conferring upon the owner a right to compensation.”
The supreme court of the United States in Pumpelly v. Green Bay Co., 13 Wall. 166, says—
“That it remains true that where real estate is actually invaded by superin-duced additions of water, earth, sand, or other material, or by having any artificial structure placed on it, so as to effectually destroy or impair its usefulness, it is a taking, within the meaning of the constitution.”
—And, as a matter of course, one that gives the owner a right to additional compensation, because his land, if the additional burden is cast upon it, is again taken for public use, and he is entitled to additional compensation, although the land may have been taken and paid for, if paid for a use other than the one for which it is taken the second time, as whatever use was contemplated in the original condemnation, and the damages resulting therefrom are the damages and use included.in the assessment therefor. But a use beyond the purpose of that condemnation, and which could not, for the want of legal power, be included in it, -would be a new use, and would create a new servitude, if it cast any additional burden on the lands of plaintiffs, or on the right of way already condemned for a specific purpose. The question then presents itself, does this use of the right of way of defendant, already condemned for railroad purposes, for the approaches to the wagon and footway part of its bridge, under the above rule laid down, cast an}' additional burden on the adjacent land of plaintiffs? If such use affects the value of such property to an extent to which it was not affected by the original taking, then it is subjected to a new use, which creates an additional burden upon its owner, and which subjects the land to a new servitude, and consequently there is a taking of private property for public use, which has not been paid for. The proof submitted in this case shows that plaintiffs are the owners by right of perpetual .occupancy of the lands on either side of the approaches to the wagon and footway part of the bridge for several hundred yards back of the river on the Cherokee side of it; that the same is the river front at the above-named point; that there is now, and has been for many years, a ferry owned in part by plaintiffs, used by them in crossing wagons, foot passengers, and live-stock of all kinds for hire over the Arkansas river; that said ferry now lands, and has for many years- landed, on the Cherokee side of the river on the lands owned by plaintiffs; that
“The inquiry in such cases must be, what is the property worth in the market, viewed, not merely with reference to the uses to which it is at the time applied, but with reference to the uses to which it is plainly adapted ? That is to say, what is it worth from its availability for valuable uses? Property is not to be deemed worthless because the owner allows it to go to waste, or to be regarded valueless because he is unable to put it to any use. Others may be able to use it, and make it subserve the necessities or conveniencies of life. Its capability of being made thus available gives it a market value which can be readily estimated. So many and various are the circumstances to be taken into account in determining the value of property condemned for public purposes that it is perhaps impossible to formulate a rule to govern its appraisement in all cases. Exceptional circumstances will modify the most carefully guarded rule; but, as a general thing, we should say that the compensation to the owner is to be estimated by reference to the uses for which the property is suitable, having regard to the existing business or wants of the community, or such as may be reasonably expected in the future.”
In the case of Railway Co. v. Woodruff, 49 Ark. 381, 5 S. W. Rep. 792, the supreme court of Arkansas fully recognized"the above rule, and held that, in estimating the value of the land of Woodruff, the fact that such land had on it a site well suited for the lauding of the end of a bridge might be taken into consideration in fixing the value of the same. The court further said: “In a proceeding to condemn a site for a railroad bridge, evidence to show that the land required for that purpose possessed peculiar advantages as a bridge site is admissible as affecting the question of its value.” In the case of Railway Co. v. McGehee, 41 Ark. 202, the land appropriated by the railroad company was worthless for habitation or cultivation, but its prospective value for a ferry-landing, to be established in the future, was allowed in the estimate of damages. Under the above rule the adaptability of the lands of plaintiff for ferry-landing purposes is a circumstance that they have a right to insist upon as an element that goes to make up the market value of their lands. If the defendant, by the construction of its wagon and footway bridge, necessarily injures the value of plaintiffs’ lands, such value growing out of its adaptability as a ferry-landing, does it not take away this element of value? If so, there is a burden cast upon the land by the defendant,— a servitude of such a character as to injure, if not largely destroy, its value. If the act of defendant in building its railroad bridge did not affect this peculiar value of the lands of plaintiffs, and its building its footway and wagon bridge does affect such value, or if its building its
We are not to consider any direct injury to the ferry franchise, but we may consider the existence of this franchise, and the fact that it is being used, and that a ferry is being run, which does a large business, and which on one side of- the river has its landing on the land of plaintiffs, adjacent to the approach to the bridge, and for these reasons the land is made more valuable. This is an evidentiary fact, to show the eligibility of this land for a particular purpose. It is claimed that this additional burden can only be considered as affecting the interest of the holder of the fee .of this land, the Cherokee Nation. As between the holder of the fee and an ordinary tenant this is true, but these plaintiffs,
The remaining question which was presented in argument is, has congress conferred upon defendant the power to condemn the property of plaintiffs for approaches for a wagon and footway bridge? As already declared, there is an additional taking of the property of plaintiffs, because there is, in addition to the easement already enjoyed by defendant, the subjection of the property to an additional servitude, which amounts to another taking; and, before there can be that taking by the defendant, there must be authority for it. The right of eminent domain in government is the right to take private property by an extraordinary method; extraordinary, because it does not involve the consent of the owner. Because it may thus be asserted against the individual citizen, the party asserting it must assert it by the authority of the law-making power, when given in express terms or by necessary implication. Lewis, Em. Dom. § 240, says: “Theexercise of the power being against common right, it cannot be implied or inferred, but must be given in express terms or by necessary implication.” When the act of congress authorizing the building of the wagon and footway bridge fails to make any provision for compensation, it is to be presumed that congress did not intend that the power of eminent domain should be exercised, but it contemplated that the right might be obtained by negotiation, by contract with the
“Not only must the authority to municipal corporations or other delegated legislative agents to take private property be expressly conferred, and the use for which it is taken specified, but the power, with all constitutional and statutory limitations and directions for its exercise, must be strictly construed. Since the power to condemn private property against the will of the owner is a stringent and extraordinary one, based upon public necessity, or an urgent public policy, the rule requiring the power to be strictly construed, and the prescribed mode for its exercise strictly followed, is a just one, and should, within all reasonable limits, he inflexibly adhered to and applied. ”
The right of eminent domain is one which lies dormant in the state until legislative action is had pointing out the occasion, mode, conditions, and agencies for its exercise. Dyckman v. City of New York, 5 N. Y. 434; Cooley, Const. Lim. 527; Allen v. Jones, 47 Ind. 438.
The court in Water- Works Co. v. Burkhart, 41 Ind. 364, said: “No property can be taken for public use by condemnation or otherwise than by legislative authority, and in the manner and for the purposes authorized.” These declarations of a legal principle are fully sustained by all the authorities on the subject.
It is claimed for the defendant that the act of congress of June 1,1886, granting a right of way to the defendant for railroad, telegraph, and telephone purposes, and the act of congress of March 15,1890, authorizing the construction of defendant’s bridge across the Arkansas river, at Ft. Smith, as a. wagon and footway bridge, are to be construed as laws pari materia. I think this is correct. But by such construction we cannot evolve from these acts of congress the power to condemn the property of plaintiffs, unless such power, expressly or by necessary implication, exists in one or the other of these acts, and unless the purpose of the exercise of such power is to be found, expressly or by necessary implication, in one or the other of them. Does it so exist? As we have already seen, by the act of June 1,1886, the defendant was authorized to take property and use the same for all purposes of a railway, and for no other purpose, — a right of way, etc.; and the section further provides that the lands taken “shall not be used except in such manner and for such purposes only as shall be necessary for the construction and convenient operation of said railroad, telegraph, and telephone lines.” Use of the lands for approaches of a wagon and footway bridge is not use for railroad, telegraph, or telephone purposes. The use for railway purposes alone is the use to which the land authorized to be condemned was limited by .the act of congress. Then there is no express authority to condemn for the use of a footway and wagon bridge in this act of congress, nor does it appear by necessary implication. But, on the contrary, a use of that kind, as well as all other uses, except for railway, telegraph, and telephone purposes, is expressly prohibited. In the act of March 15, 1890, authorizing the building of a footway and wagon part of the bridge, there is not a word on-the subject of the condemnation of pri
