§ 261. Maintenance of telegraph or other electric wires raises no
presumption of grant. Whenever any wire or cable used for any telegraph,
telephone, electric light or other electric purpose, or for the purpose
of communication otherwise than by the aid of electricity, is or shall
be attached to, or does or shall extend upon or over any building or
land, no lapse of time whatever shall raise a presumption of any grant
of, or justify a prescription of any perpetual right to, such attachment
or extension.
