“ The Supreme Court treated the judgment of the Court of Appeals as establishing that the Orrville Light, Heat & Power Company, immediate successor to Gans & Wilson, acquired in 1893 the right to occupy the streets which the ordinance of 1892 gave them. ”

“ By an action in quo warranto, the state of Ohio, upon relation of the prosecuting attorney for Wayne county, seeks to oust plaintiff in error, a corporation under her laws, from use of the streets in the village of Orrville. The corporation has general power to transmit and distribute electric energy and current, and claims the privilege to operate there as assignee of rights granted to Gans & Wilson and their successors, by an ordinance of the village council passed February 1, 1892. ”
