§ 211-b. Abandonment of certain town highways in school districts.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, and upon the

request of either the county superintendent of highways or the town

adopted, declare any town highway or portion thereof in the town running

through school district lands not necessary for ingress to or egress

from any privately or publicly owned lands, and not necessary to connect

existing town, county or state highways, to be abandoned and

discontinued for public purposes. Such town shall at least thirty days

prior to such abandonment cause to be filed and recorded in the office

of the town clerk a written description of such highway or portion to be

abandoned with a written statement attached thereto that such highway or

portion thereof so described is proposed to be abandoned, and shall

cause notices to be posted in at least three conspicuous places in such

town of the time and place when such declaration of abandonment will be

made, for the purpose of permitting any interested person to appear for

or against the adoption of such resolution.
