65 - Private road in lieu of farm bridges. - New York Statutes

§ 65. Private road in lieu of farm bridges. If the commissioner of transportation cannot agree with the owner of a farm bridge spanning a canal as to the amount of commutation in any case where he is of the opinion that the state should erect such bridge, and the commissioner of transportation determines that a private road through adjoining lands will sufficiently accommodate such owner, and that the same can be laid out with economy to the state, he may take the necessary action to lay out a private road for the accommodation of the owner, in the manner prescribed by law for laying out private roads and pay to the owner of the lands through which the same is laid out, the damages assessed.
