tho power of eminent domaii within

and the. ciiho remanded for further

Mr. and Mrs. Holt aro struggling
against many obstacles at present in

would cortninly moot tho physical ro

ernment, and tho people, through the
direct method provided, may enact

beneficial purposes.
Justice King held that to compel
tho cities and towns in this state to
nwait the action of tho legislature
before being permitted to exercise
the right of eminent domain, would
mean that no city may exercise such
a right without tho same privileges
being extended to atl incorporated
towns, such course nover being pur
sued by this Htato. In deciding the
point forcibly argued by tho defend
ant's counsel, to the effect that the
