Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Railroads, Vol. 1: Containing a Consideration of the Organization, Status and Powers of Railroad Corporations, and of the Rights and Liabilities Incident to the Location, Construction and Operation of Railroads; Together With Their Duties, Rights and Liabilities as Carriers Many new sections have been added and so have several new chap ters. Among the new chapters will be found two on street railways and one on the new and important subject of interurban railroads. The latter subject, we believe, is not treated at any length in any other text-book. New chapters are also added on actions by and against railroad companies. Many practical suggestions are made and many points, that o'ften arise in such cases are considered, and authorities cited, that are not ordinarily found in text-books upon the subject. It is believed that the new sections and chapters on actions will be found particularly useful in the trial of railroad cases. There is a full treatment of the interstate commerce law and rail road rate regulation generally, and the' latest authorities are cited, many of which are decisions rendered within the last few months and cited in no other text-book. This is also true as to other recent acts of Congress, especially the employer's liability act of June 11, 1906.
