§ 244. Report of town superintendents, and levy of tax. The town
superintendent of each town shall make a full and verified report of
their proceedings in the premises including an accurate account of what
has been done in respect to such bridge, and shall attach thereto a copy
of the order granted by the supreme court. Such report, account and
order shall be certified by the town board and delivered to the
supervisor and be presented by him to the board of supervisors of his
county. The board of supervisors at their annual meeting shall levy a
tax upon each of such towns, when in the same county, and upon the
appropriate towns when in different counties, for its share of the costs
of building, rebuilding and repairing such bridge, after deducting all
payments actually made by the supervisor upon the written order of the
town superintendent. Such tax, including all payments, shall in no case
exceed the amount specified in the order of the supreme court.
