Vt. Stat. tit. 30 § 2523
Persons desiring to attach a telephone line to poles of a telegraph company may petition the Superior Court of the county in which such line of poles or part thereof is situated, for permission so to do. The court shall appoint three disinterested persons commissioners to make examination and determine whether the request of the petitioner can be granted without injury to the company owning the poles. If, in their judgment, such permission ought to be given, the commissioners shall so report to the court, and state what, in their opinion, would be a fair annual compensation to be paid for such privilege. The court shall render such judgment thereon as it deems just, or for cause shown may reject the report and appoint new commissioners to reexamine and report.
