1. In addition to the powers already vested in the board of public utility commissioners by the act to which this is a supplement, the said board shall be vested with power, and it shall be their duty to investigate the conditions and charges, rates and exactions now existing in the management and operation of the toll bridges now existing in this state, whether located entirely within this state or connecting this state with any adjoining state and where in their judgment, after proper investigation upon their own initiative or upon petition by at least ten freeholders in any county wherein such bridge or bridges are located, they shall conclude that the said bridges are unsafely or improperly kept and maintained by the operating company so as to be dangerous to the public, the said board shall have power to order the operating company at its own expense to make such necessary alterations or repairs in the construction of such bridge and its appurtenances as to such board of public utility commissioners may seem desirable for the public interest and safety.
