6A.13 CHANGE IN STREAMS.
When a railway company would have the right to excavate a channel
or ditch and thereby change and straighten the course of a stream or
watercourse, which is too frequently crossed by such railway, and
thereby protect the right-of-way and roadbed, or promote safety and
convenience in the operation of the railway, it may, by condemnation
or otherwise, acquire sufficient land on which to excavate such ditch
or channel. Section History: Early Form
