Section 6-608. When village may relinquish care of bridges  


Latest version.
  • Any village
      which has the supervision, control, care and maintenance of  any  bridge
      or  bridges  wholly  within its boundaries, or which has entered into an
      agreement with a town as provided in sections 6-604 and  6-606  of  this
      chapter, may with the consent of the town board of the town within which
      any  such  bridge  is  situated,  by resolution of the board of trustees
      subject to a permissive referendum as defined in this chapter, terminate
      the right of such village to supervise, control, care for  and  maintain
      such  bridge  or  bridges, or cancel any such agreements made by it with
      such superintendants of highways, and  thereafter  every  public  bridge
      within  the  boundaries  of said village shall be under the supervision,
      control, care of and maintenance of the superintendants of  highways  of
      the  town  as  provided  in  section 6-602 of this chapter. Such action,
      however, shall in no way cancel or interfere with the  validity  of  any
      obligation  or  indebtedness  of  the village incurred during the period
      that  the  village  exercised  the  supervision,   control,   care   and
      maintenance  of  such  bridge or bridges, or during the period that said
      agreement was operative.
