N.Y. Highway Law § 188: Final determination, how carried out

§ 188. Final determination, how carried out. The final determination

of the supreme court relating to laying out, altering or discontinuing a

highway, and all orders and other papers filed or entered in the

proceedings, or certified copies thereof from the court where such

determination, order and papers are filed and entered, shall be

forthwith filed and recorded in the town clerk's office of the town

where the highway is located; and every such decision shall be carried

out by the town superintendent of the town, the same as if they had made

an order to that effect. The said town superintendent shall thereupon

proceed to construct the highway so laid out, and construct any

alteration so provided for, and put the same in good condition for

public travel. The expense of such construction of such new highway or

alteration of an existing highway, shall be a charge upon and against

the town in which such highway is constructed or any existing highway is

altered, and when same is completed the town board of such town shall at

the next annual meeting for auditing accounts, after such work is done,

audit such claims against the town, including interest, if any, and

include same in the annual tax budget to be collected from the taxpayers

of said town to pay said indebtedness; such money to be paid over to the

supervisor of the town and by him paid and applied to the purposes

aforesaid. This amendment is made subject to the provisions of section

one hundred and ninety-three, relating to contracts for construction.
