      sewer, water, light, fire, park, health, police  or  any  other  special
      district  for  municipal  purposes  the territory so included within the
      boundaries of the  village  shall  not  be  relieved  from  bearing  its
      proportionate  share  of any liability or indebtedness incurred for such
      special district purposes while  such  territory  was  a  part  of  such
      special  district  and  until  such  liability  is  discharged,  or such
      indebtedness paid the proportionate share to which such territory  would
      be  liable  if it had not been included in the boundaries of the village
      shall be levied upon, assessed and collected from such territory by  the
      proper  officers of such village in the same manner as if such territory
      had not been included within the boundaries of the village.  All  moneys
      so  collected  shall  be  paid  over  from  time  to time by the village
      treasurer to the supervisor of the town to discharge such liability. The
      collector or receiver of taxes of a town and the treasurer of  a  county
      shall continue in the execution of his duties in respect to the property
      included   in  the  boundaries  of  a  village  incorporated  under  the
      provisions of this article until  he  shall  have  collected  the  taxes
      authorized  or assessed for the year of such incorporation or which have
      been extended on the town assessment roll and become a lien  after  such
      incorporation and pay to the treasurer of the village when collected the
      taxes  extended  on  the  assessment  roll  against  property within the
      village for highway, health, water, light, fire, park, sewer, police  or
      other special district purposes.
