Opinion

Wickhem, J.

The Railway Company is an urban street-railway corporation organized under the laws of Wisconsin. Its original franchise was dated February 26, 1906, and subsequently amended by ordinances of October 14, 1907, and May 25, 1925. At the time of the petition which initiated these proceedings the Railway Company operated a double-track street-railway line from Oklahoma avenue in the south portion of Milwaukee northward along South Fifth street to West Madison street, thence in a northwesterly direction to the intersection of South Sixth and West Scott streets. The lines proceeded thence north on South Sixth street over the Sixth street viaduct to the intersection of North Sixth, West St. Paul avenue, and West Clybourn street. They then proceeded east on West Clybourn to North Fifth street, north on Fifth to West Wells street and east on Wells street to North Second, and thence south on North Second to the end of the line at West Wisconsin avenue. Prior to and at the time of the institution of urban street-railway service by the Railway Company the Transport Company operated, as a part of a general street-railway system in Milwaukee, a line commencing on the south at Cleveland avenue, thence north on South Sixth street to West Mitchell, thence east on West Mitchell to South First street, thence north and west over various streets through the downtown section of Milwaukee to North Sixtieth and West Vliet street. See the diagram printed herewith.
