N.Y. Village Law § 6-608: When village may relinquish care of bridges

§ 6-608 When village may relinquish care of bridges. Any village

which has the supervision, control, care and maintenance of any bridge

or bridges wholly within its boundaries, or which has entered into an

agreement with a town as provided in sections 6-604 and 6-606 of this

chapter, may with the consent of the town board of the town within which

any such bridge is situated, by resolution of the board of trustees

subject to a permissive referendum as defined in this chapter, terminate

the right of such village to supervise, control, care for and maintain

such bridge or bridges, or cancel any such agreements made by it with

such superintendants of highways, and thereafter every public bridge

within the boundaries of said village shall be under the supervision,

control, care of and maintenance of the superintendants of highways of

the town as provided in section 6-602 of this chapter. Such action,

however, shall in no way cancel or interfere with the validity of any

obligation or indebtedness of the village incurred during the period

that the village exercised the supervision, control, care and

maintenance of such bridge or bridges, or during the period that said

agreement was operative.
