constructing, maintaining, or operating any railway,
street-railway, or tramway, or for the purpose of
erecting and maintaining any pole-line, wood or timber
chute, or for the purpose of laying, placing, and
maintaining drains, ditches, pipes, transmission-lines,
or wires for the conveyance, transmission, or

definition of 'right-of-way' in section 2, granted or
created by the Crown in the right of the Province, or by
any public officer or department of the Crown under any
Statute having the force of law, or by an instrument
executed by the registered owner of the land, or by an
instrument having the same effect as if executed by the

constitute a charge on the land in favour of the grantee,
notwithstanding that the benefit of the right-of-way is
not annexed to any land of the grantee, and shall confer
upon the grantee the right to use the land charged in
accordance with the terms of the grant, and all the
