- This section is derived, in part, from the decision in Normandale Lumber Co. v. Knight, 89 Ga. 111, 14 S.E. 882 (1892).
O.C.G.A. § 44-9-90 applies only in cases of necessity. Normandale Lumber Co. v. Knight, 89 Ga. 111, 14 S.E. 882 (1892); Valdosta, M. & W.R.R. v. Adel Lumber Co., 136 Ga. 559, 71 S.E. 803 (1911); Alaculsey Lumber Co. v. Shippen Bros. Lumber Co., 143 Ga. 296, 84 S.E. 967 (1915); Hutchinson v. Caldwell Lumber Co., 146 Ga. 356, 91 S.E. 208 (1917).
- Where, in an attempt to condemn land for a right of way, the notice states that a strip 20 feet wide is to be condemned, this is manifestly not an attempt to apply O.C.G.A. Art. 5, Ch. 9, T. 44. Garbutt Lumber Co. v. Georgia & Ala. Ry., 111 Ga. 714, 36 S.E. 942 (1900) (decided under former Code 1910, § 805, prior to amendment by Ga. L. 1953, Nov.-Dec. Sess., p. 98, § 2).
Procedure for condemnation of right of way for a tramroad under O.C.G.A. § 44-9-90 is that prescribed in O.C.G.A. § 22-1-6 et seq. Hutchinson v. Copeland, 146 Ga. 357, 91 S.E. 206 (1917).
- The pendency of a proceeding to condemn land as a way of necessity for a tramroad is such a proceeding as to give the superior court of the county where the condemnation proceeding is pending jurisdiction to entertain a petition to enjoin the proceeding. Hutchinson v. Copeland, 146 Ga. 357, 91 S.E. 206 (1917).
- Exercise of power of eminent domain for purposes of logging road or logging railroad, 86 A.L.R. 552.
