Compliance with order; fixing of compensation Upon the making of the order aforesaid, the street railway or traction company, within the time fixed in such order, shall lay its tracks, wires and appurtenances on the bridge and use the same for public travel. Should the board order the company to lay its tracks, wires and appurtenances on the bridge and to operate its cars thereon but refuse to determine the compensation if any to be paid by the company to the municipality owning the bridge for the use thereof, jurisdiction is hereby given to the Superior Court on complaint of the municipality or the company, to fix the compensation, if any, to be paid. Notwithstanding any proceeding to review the amount of compensation to be paid, the company shall proceed to lay its tracks, wires and appurtenances on the bridge and operate its cars thereon, pending the controversy as to the amount of the compensation to be paid.
