  operation or control of a vehicle required to be registered or licensed,
  where   the   pleading   containing  the  cause  of  action  states  the
  registration or license number of such vehicle,  the  pleader  need  not

  operated,  the  place where the accident occurred, and the number of the
  streetcar or omnibus or the name or  number  of  any  of  the  employees
  operating  the  said  streetcar  or omnibus at the time in question, the
  pleader need not prove  upon  the  trial  the  ownership,  operation  or
  control  of  the  particular streetcar or omnibus by the other party and
  the same shall be deemed admitted, unless  specifically  denied  in  the
  responsive pleading.
    3.  Building.  In an action for negligence arising from the ownership,
  operation or control of any building, dwelling or tenement house,  where
  the  pleading  containing the cause of action states the full address of

  ownership, operation or control of such building, dwelling  or  tenement
  house  by  the other party and the same shall be deemed admitted, unless
  specifically denied in the responsive pleading.
    (b) Signature. A signature to a written instrument  which  is  pleaded

  be proved.
    (c)  Corporate  existence.  In  an  action by or against a corporation
  organized or authorized to do business pursuant to the laws of the state

  satisfactory proof thereof, upon trial, by the party who  pleaded  them,
  the court may allow such party, if he prevails in the action, additional
  costs not to exceed twenty-five dollars for each such denial.
