Description
Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company filed in the Superior Court of Bibb County its petition against the City of Macon, seeking a declaratory judgment relative to the liability of the municipality for damages or compensation growing out of the removal by the telephone company of its subterranean cables and conduits from beneath New Street in said city to a new location, such removal being necessitated by the closing of New Street by the City of Macon, which was pursuant to legislative authority, and done in order for the city to enlarge and add to the municipally owned, operated, and maintained hospital. The case was submitted to Judge A. M. Anderson of said superior court for his determination of the law and the facts without the intervention of a jury. It appeared that, due to the growth of the city, the increasing of hospital facilities was required for the public welfare, and that the most feasible manner in which the city could do so was by adding to the existing hospital building, currently being operated by the city, and lying in a block (city block No. 73) bounded on one side by said New Street, and that, in order to effect this, New Street would have to be closed to travel and the hospital buildings extended over New Street and onto the adjoining block No. 74.
