Art. 6539. [6738] PROCEEDINGS TO CONDEMN. Any interurban
electric railway company, seeking to avail itself of the benefits
of this chapter shall have the right to condemn an easement along
and upon the track or tracks of any electric street railway company
for the purpose only of securing an entrance into and an outlet from
a town or city upon a route to be designated by the governing body of
the city or town. In any proceeding to condemn an easement or right
of way for the purposes above mentioned, the court, or the jury
trying the case shall define and fix the terms and conditions upon
which such easement or right of way shall be used. The court
rendering such judgment shall be authorized upon a subsequent
application or applications by either of the parties to the
original proceedings, or any one claiming through or under them, to
review and reform the terms and conditions of such grant and the
provisions of such judgment, and the hearing upon such application
shall be in the nature of a retrial of said cause with respect to the
terms and conditions upon which said easement shall be used; but
the court shall not have power upon any such rehearing to declare
such easement forfeited or to impair the exercise thereof, and no
application for a rehearing shall be made until two years after the
final judgment on the last preceding application.
