§ 3711. Sale of gospel or school lots on division of town. 1.

Whenever a town having lands assigned to it for the support of the

gospel or of schools, shall be divided into two or more towns, or shall

be altered in its limits by the annexing of a part of its territory to

other towns, such lands shall be sold by the supervisor of the town, in

which such lands were included immediately before such division or

alteration; and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between the

towns interested therein, in the same manner as the other public moneys

of towns, so divided or altered, are apportioned.

2. The shares of such moneys, to which the towns shall be respectively

entitled, shall be paid to the supervisors of the respective towns, and

shall thereafter be subject to the provisions of section twenty-one

hundred forty-two.
