Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York November 15, 1901 (Adee v. Nassau Electric Railroad)

WOODWARD, J.

The plaintiff is the owner of property abutting upon Union street, in the borough of Brooklyn. He brings this action to restrain the defendants from constructing and operating a double-track trolley street surface railroad on this street, upon the ground that the consent of the owners of one-half in value of the property bounded on the street had not been obtained and recorded.
