§ 83. Condemnation of real property. In case such corporation is
unable to agree for the purchase of any real property required for the
purposes of its incorporation, and its route in the county in which such
real property is situated has been finally located, it shall have the
right to acquire title thereto by condemnation, but such corporation
shall not locate its route or construct any line of pipe through or
under any building, dooryard, lawn, garden or orchard, except by the
consent of the owner thereof in writing duly acknowledged, nor through
any cemetery or burial ground, nor within one hundred feet of any
building except where such line is authorized by public officers to be
laid across or upon any public highway, and shall not construct any line
of pipe that supports facilities or infrastructure associated with
exploration, development, or production of oil or natural gas in federal
waters located in the north Atlantic planning area. No such corporation
shall lay or construct its line of pipe through or under a street in any
city, unless it shall first obtain the consent of a majority of the
owners of property abutting on that portion of the street in which its
pipe line is to be laid. Such pipe line shall be laid with reasonable
care and prudence.
