Every such company may enter upon any lands for the purpose of

telegraph line, and take and damage private property for the erection and
maintenance of such lines, and may, subject to the provisions contained in
this act, construct lines of telegraph along and upon any railroad, road,
highway, street or alley, along or across any of the waters or lands within
