Supreme Court Denies Telegraphs Eminent Domain Over Railroads
The Supreme Court rules the 1866 act does not grant telegraph companies the right to condemn railroad property or remove poles from a railroad’s right of way. The decision sustains the Pennsylvania Railroad’s power to remove Western Union poles and rejects telegraph lessees exercising eminent domain. Justice McKenna delivers the opinion, with Harlan dissenting.
