        384.77  ASSESSMENTS ALONG RAILWAYS.         In the making of assessments for paving streets, avenues or public      places along or upon which a track of a railway or street railway      company is located, the engineer shall make an estimate of the cost      of building the improvement, and an estimate of the cost of the      improvement if tracks were not there.  The railway or street railway      company may be charged with the difference between the two estimates      of cost, and shall make payment in the same manner as other special      assessments are paid.  This section applies only to track within the      limits of the improvement proper and shall not be construed as      exempting a railway or street railway company from a special      assessment on other property, adjacent or abutting, within the      assessment district and owned by the company, nor does this section      relieve a company from any of its duties and liabilities set forth in      any other law concerning repair or construction of the strip of      paving between the rails and one foot outside.
