Section 57. Procedure in case property is situated in two or more counties

If the property to be acquired or  extinguished  in  any  proceeding  be
  situated  in  two  or  more  counties,  the  maps or plans and memoranda
  required to be filed by section fifty-four of this chapter shall  be  so
  filed in the respective offices therein provided in each county in which
  such  property  or  any part thereof is situated, and the application to
  condemn such property may be made to the supreme court  at  any  special
  term  thereof  held  in  any  judicial district in which any one of such
  counties is situated. If the property to be acquired or extinguished  in
  any  proceeding be situated in two judicial districts the application to
  condemn such property may be made in either judicial district. The order
  granting the application to condemn in  any  such  proceeding  shall  be
  entered,  and  the  final decree therein shall be filed in the office of
  the clerk of any one of the counties in which a part of the property  to
  be  thereby  acquired  or  extinguished  is situated, as directed by the
  court, and a certified copy of the order  granting  the  application  to
  condemn  and  a certified copy of the final decree shall be filed in the
  office in which instruments affecting real property are required  to  be
  recorded  in  each  county  in  which  any  part of the property thereby
  acquired  or  extinguished  is  situated.  In  all  other  respects  the
  proceeding  shall  be  conducted  in  the  same  manner  as a proceeding
  affecting property situated in only one county.
