§ 72. Appeal to court of appeals. An appeal to the court of appeals
may be taken by the city or any person or party interested in the
proceeding and aggrieved by the order of the appellate division. Such
appeal shall be taken and heard in the manner provided in relation to
appeals from judgments in special proceedings. An appeal taken but not
prosecuted within six months after the filing of the notice of appeal,
unless the time within which to prosecute the same shall have been
extended by the court, shall be deemed to be abandoned and no agreement
between the parties to the appeal extending the time to prosecute the
same shall vary the provisions hereof. The court of appeals may affirm
or reverse the order appealed from, and may make such order or direction
as shall be appropriate to the case.
