Section 212-A. Abandoning of parts of town highways

Whenever, pursuant to
  this chapter or under the provisions of any statute, any town road shall
  have been widened, straightened, extended, drained, paved  or  otherwise
  improved  and  in the process thereof a town shall have acquired from an
  adjacent  owner  certain  lands  necessary  for  said  right-of-way   by
  purchase,  condemnation  or as a gift and where under such circumstances
  either the grantor of said new right-of-way shall own  the  property  on
  both  sides thereof for the full length of the new taking or the consent
  in writing of any and all other owners within such area  be  given,  and
  there  shall  be  sections  of  the  old  road as it existed before said
  improvement which are of no further use for  highway  purposes  to  said
  town,  the  town board of said town in which said land is situated, upon
  the recommendation of the town superintendent of highways, may  adopt  a
  resolution,  with  the consent of the county superintendent of highways,
  to abandon to the abutting owner or owners such sections or parts of the
  old road as it existed before said improvement which are of  no  further
  use  for  highway  purposes,  providing  the road after such abandonment
  shall be not less than three rods in width, and the supervisor  of  said
  town  is hereby authorized to execute and acknowledge in the name of the
  town and affix the seal of the town to a quit-claim deed or deeds of the
  land so abandoned and to deliver the  same  to  the  abutting  owner  or
  owners  for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as the
  town board of the said town shall deem proper.
    The adoption of the hereinbefore  mentioned  resolution  by  the  town
  board  shall  be  an immediate abandonment and discontinuance of the use
  for highway and street purposes of said sections or  parts  of  the  old
  road   described  in  said  resolution  without  any  further  or  other
  proceedings.
