SEC. 13. The grantee of a franchise for an electric street railway, electric light or power or telephone line, granted hereunder, or wider any special Act of the Commission, shall have the power of condemning private property reasonably needed for the construction of its line, to be exercised by a special proceeding begun in the proper Court of First Instance, with such auxiliary proceedings as may be necessary in the Court of Land Registration according to law; but such power of eminent domain shall only be exercised after approval by the Civil Governor, to be given before the judicial proceedings are begun.
