Description
The City of Mason filed this suit against the West Texas Utilities Company for a mandatory injunction to compel compliance with an ordinance of the city requiring the West Texas Utilities Company to remove all poles, wires, transformers, conduits, and other property used by it in, upon, under, across, and along the public streets and alleys within the City of Mason. The case was tried before the court without a jury, and the trial court entered judgment in favor of the City of Mason. An appeal was taken to the Court of Civil Appeals, and that court reversed the judgment of the trial court and rendered judgment that the West Texas Utilities Company had the right to maintain its poles and lines in the City of Mason, without the citys consent, for a period of ten years after November 13, 1945, the date of the citys incorporation. 229 S.W.2d 404.
