1904It is undoubtedly true as this court holds in Conway's Case ( 157 N.Y. 33 ) — speaking of municipalities as to which there is no legislation to be regarded as modification of section 98 of the Railroad Law — that under that section "the duty of *Page 212 keeping such portion of the streets in permanent repair [by the railroad company] is not suggested or advised, but is commanded." But that section must be read in connection with local statutes, where there are any bearing upon the subject, as is the case in the city of New York.
