Should the board order the company to lay its tracks, wires and appurtenances on the bridge and to operate its cars thereon but refuse to determine the compensation if any to be paid by the company to the municipality owning the bridge for the use thereof, jurisdiction is hereby given to the Superior Court on complaint of the municipality or the company, to fix the compensation, if any, to be paid.
