Section 65. Private road in lieu of farm bridges

If the commissioner of
  transportation cannot agree with the owner of a farm bridge  spanning  a
  canal  as  to  the  amount of commutation in any case where he is of the
  opinion that the state should erect such bridge, and the commissioner of
  transportation determines that a private road  through  adjoining  lands
  will  sufficiently accommodate such owner, and that the same can be laid
  out with economy to the state, he may take the necessary action  to  lay
  out  a  private  road  for the accommodation of the owner, in the manner
  prescribed by law for laying out private roads and pay to the  owner  of
  the lands through which the same is laid out, the damages assessed.
