     300.04 State and local control; eminent domain. 

    The state may supervise and regulate the business methods 
 and management of a corporation referred to in section 300.03 
 and from time to time may fix the compensation which it may 
 charge or receive for its services.  The corporation obtaining a 
 franchise from a city is subject to conditions and restrictions 
 as from time to time are imposed upon it by the city.  The 
 corporation may acquire by right of eminent domain the private 
 property necessary or convenient for the transaction of the 
 public business for which it was formed.  No street railway 
 company has the right of eminent domain within the limits of a 
 city.
