§ 302. Division fence on change of title. Whenever a subdivision or
new apportionment of any division fence shall become necessary by reason
of transfer of the title of either of the adjoining owners, to the whole
or any portion of the adjoining lands, by conveyance, devise or descent,
such subdivision or new apportionment shall thereupon be made by the
adjoining owners affected thereby; and either adjoining owner shall
refund to the other a just proportion of the value at the time of such
transfer of title of any division fence that shall theretofore have been
made and maintained by such other adjoining owner, or the person from
whom he derived his title, or he shall build his proportion of such
division fence. The value of any fence, and the proportion thereof to be
paid by any person, and the proportion to be built by him, shall be
determined by any two of the fence viewers of the town, in case of
disagreement.
