§ 82. Levy to pay a final judgment; to be in addition to amount

authorized by law; money to be paid to judgment creditor. If a final

judgment for a sum of money, or directing the payment of money shall

have been, or shall hereafter be recovered against any county, town,

city or incorporated village within this state, and the same remains, or

shall hereafter remain unpaid, and the execution thereof is not, or

shall not be stayed as required by law, or if so stayed, the stay has

expired, or shall hereafter expire, it shall be the duty of the board of

supervisors, if the judgment is, or shall be, recovered against a county

or town, or of the common council of the city, or the board of trustees

of the village, if the judgment is, or shall be, recovered against a

city or an incorporated village, and the said board of supervisors,

common council or board of trustees is hereby empowered to assess, levy,

and cause to be collected at the same time and in like manner as other

moneys for the necessary expenses of the county, town, city or village,

as the case may be, are then next thereafter to be assessed, levied and

collected, and in addition to the moneys now authorized by law to be

assessed, levied and collected for that purpose, a sum of money

sufficient to pay the said judgment with the interest thereupon, and the

fees and expenses chargeable by law upon the execution, if any, issued

to collect the same. The moneys so assessed and levied as soon as

collected and paid to the proper receiving and disbursing officer, or so

much thereof as may be necessary, shall, from time to time, be paid by

him to the judgment creditor, administrator or assignee, or other person

entitled to receive the same by reason of the said judgment, without any

deduction for his fees or commissions.
