§ 57. Procedure in case property is situated in two or more counties.

If the property to be acquired or extinguished in any proceeding be

situated in two or more counties, the maps or plans and memoranda

required to be filed by section fifty-four of this chapter shall be so

filed in the respective offices therein provided in each county in which

such property or any part thereof is situated, and the application to

condemn such property may be made to the supreme court at any special

term thereof held in any judicial district in which any one of such

counties is situated. If the property to be acquired or extinguished in

any proceeding be situated in two judicial districts the application to

condemn such property may be made in either judicial district. The order

granting the application to condemn in any such proceeding shall be

entered, and the final decree therein shall be filed in the office of

the clerk of any one of the counties in which a part of the property to

be thereby acquired or extinguished is situated, as directed by the

court, and a certified copy of the order granting the application to

condemn and a certified copy of the final decree shall be filed in the

office in which instruments affecting real property are required to be

recorded in each county in which any part of the property thereby

acquired or extinguished is situated. In all other respects the

proceeding shall be conducted in the same manner as a proceeding

affecting property situated in only one county.
