  • The final determination
      of the supreme court relating to laying out, altering or discontinuing a
      highway, and all orders  and  other  papers  filed  or  entered  in  the
      proceedings,  or  certified  copies  thereof  from  the court where such
      determination,  order  and  papers  are  filed  and  entered,  shall  be
      forthwith  filed  and  recorded  in  the town clerk's office of the town
      where the highway is located; and every such decision shall  be  carried
      out by the town superintendent of the town, the same as if they had made
      an  order  to  that effect. The said town superintendent shall thereupon
      proceed to  construct  the  highway  so  laid  out,  and  construct  any
      alteration  so  provided  for,  and  put  the same in good condition for
      public travel.  The expense of such construction of such new highway  or
      alteration  of  an  existing highway, shall be a charge upon and against
      the town in which such highway is constructed or any existing highway is
      altered, and when same is completed the town board of such town shall at
      the next annual meeting for auditing accounts, after such work is  done,
      audit  such  claims  against  the  town, including interest, if any, and
      include same in the annual tax budget to be collected from the taxpayers
      of said town to pay said indebtedness; such money to be paid over to the
      supervisor of the town and by him  paid  and  applied  to  the  purposes
      aforesaid.  This  amendment is made subject to the provisions of section
      one hundred and ninety-three, relating to contracts for construction.
