Every application made to the governing body of a municipality for the construction, operation and maintenance of a street railway shall be accompanied with a map or description of the route of the railway, showing the proposed location of the rails or tracks and the location of poles or conduits.

The governing body may either at the time of granting its consent or at a subsequent time, fix and determine by resolution the location of the rails or tracks in the streets and public places, and the places in which poles shall be located and conduits constructed.

The location of the tracks so fixed shall be deemed to be the true location of the tracks if an acceptance thereof by a majority of the directors of the company is filed in the office of the secretary of state within thirty days after receiving notice thereof and a copy thereof delivered to the clerk or other equivalent officer of the municipality.
