      supervisors, if the judgment is, or shall be, recovered against a county
      or  town, or of the common council of the city, or the board of trustees
      of the village, if the judgment is, or shall  be,  recovered  against  a
      city  or  an  incorporated  village,  and the said board of supervisors,
      common council or board of trustees is hereby empowered to assess, levy,
      and cause to be collected at the same time and in like manner  as  other

      collected and paid to the proper receiving and disbursing officer, or so
      much  thereof  as may be necessary, shall, from time to time, be paid by
      him to the judgment creditor, administrator or assignee, or other person
      entitled to receive the same by reason of the said judgment, without any
      deduction for his fees or commissions.
