SECTION 6041

6041. In all cases where application is made to the governing or
legislative body of a city or city and county for permission and
authority to lay railroad tracks through streets or public highways
of any city or city and county, the authorities before granting such
permission and authority, in addition to the terms and restrictions
which they are by law authorized to impose shall exact and require
from the persons or corporation asking such permission and authority,
as a condition precedent to the granting of permission, a
satisfactory promise and undertaking to permit and allow mail
carriers in the employ of the United States Government, at all times
while engaged in the actual discharge of duty, to ride on the cars of
such railroad without paying any sum of money whatever for fare or
otherwise. All such permissions and franchises shall be subject to
all other provisions of the laws of this State applicable to street
railroads in general, and subject to regulations from city or city
and county authorities.
