It seems to me that while perhaps If pressed to do so such a crossing could be constructed within six months, that certainly a year's time would be ample! and therefore such will be the limit. "It seems to the Court finally that such crossing when constructed should span the entire right of way of the defendant, and not almply a portion of It, as seems from the testimony to have been within the contemplation of the plaintiff, so that ths defendant may have the freest possible use of Its property.
