     222.30 Liability of company after notice.  

    When a contractor or subcontractor employed by a railway 
 company in the construction or repair of its railway shall be 
 indebted to any laborer or mechanic for services rendered, such 
 railway company shall be liable to pay such laborer or mechanic 
 the amount of such debt, provided the laborer or mechanic shall 
 have given notice of the claim to such company within 60 days 
 after the debt accrued.  Such notice shall be in writing, 
 specify the particular nature and amount of the debt, claim, or 
 demand, and be delivered to the secretary or chief engineer of 
 such company, or to the engineer in charge of the construction 
 or repairing of that portion of the road upon which such labor 
 was performed, either personally or by leaving the same at the 
 office or usual place of business of such secretary or engineer; 
 but no action shall be maintained against any railway company 
 under the foregoing provisions unless the same shall be 
 commenced within 60 days after the service of notice as 
 aforesaid.
