Ibid, sec. 358. 1888, art. 23, sec. 246. 1868, ch. 471, sec. 94. 1898, ch. 199.

397. Any corporation which may be formed under the provisions
of this article 'for the purpose of supplying water shall have power to
acquire, possess and use all such land, water rights and other property,
and shall have all such power as may be necessary for the purposes
for which said corporation was formed. And shall also have power to
lay pipes and construct all such other works as shall be necessary or
suitable to carry out the purposes of said corporation; provided, the
assent of the municipal authorities of any incorporated town or city in
which the operations of said corporation may be carried on shall be
first had and obtained, or if the operations of any such company shall
be carried on in any county outside of an incorporated town or city,
the assent of the county commissioners of said county shall be first had
and obtained; and all such works and the exercise of the powers hereby
granted, shall, at all times, be subject to such reasonable regulations as
said municipal authorities or said county commissioners, as the case
may be, may from time to time prescribe; but nothing in this section
shall authorize the incorporation of water companies in the city of
Baltimore.

Where a company's original charter authorizes .It to lay its pipes in the
first district of Baltimore county without obtaining the assent of the county
commissioners, and subsequently by an amendment to its charter, the com-
pany is authorized to extend its operations to other parts of Baltimore county,
such company is not authorized to lay its mains under the highways of the
portions of Baltimore county other than the first district, without the assent
of the county commissioners. Baltimore County Water Co. v. Baltimore
County, 105 Md. 163.

County commissioners have much greater powers over water companies
laying pipes, than over gas companies, as shown by a comparison of this sec-
tion with section 149. Consol. Gas Co. v. Baltimore County, 98 Md. 695
(decided prior to the act of 1910, ch. 55—see section 149).
