The provisions requiring a person or corporation owning or operating a railroad to construct and maintain fences shall not apply when such person or corporation has settled with and paid the landowner for building and maintaining such fence. When a landowner thus paid for keeping such fence in repair neglects so to do, the person or corporation owning or operating such railroad may make the repairs and recover the necessary expense thereof of such landowner or his or her grantee.
