Sec. 3.
Such corporation shall have power-
First-To make such examination and survey for the proposed works as
may be necessary to the selection of the most advantageous route, and
for such purpose may enter, by its officers, agents and servants, upon
the land of any person or corporation, but subject to responsibility for
all damage caused thereby.
Second--To construct its levee, canal or tunnel across or under any
stream of water, waterway, highway, road, street or railroad, which the
route of such levee, canal or tunnel shall intersect or touch; but such
corporation shall restore the stream, waterway, highway, road, street or
railroad thus intersected or touched, to its former state, or to such
state as not to have impaired its usefulness, and shall keep such
crossing in repair: Provided, however, That nothing in this act shall be
construed or held to authorize the permanent obstruction of any
navigable stream or waterway.
