Railways chartered before 1893 must build by 1895 or forfeit. charters from the current assembly must complete lines by the end of the second assembly. Railways must keep streets within and around tracks in repair. towns may cancel operation after 30 days notice. Companies may borrow up to 75 percent of construction costs with comptroller registered bonds. The act would apply to all existing street railways and take effect when assets are in place.
