365.08 TOWN DAMAGE TO PRIVATE ROAD IS A CHARGE IF VOTED.
If a court finds that a town's officers ordered work done on a private road believing that the
road was public, the damage caused and necessary expenses and costs incurred in the suit are a
claim against the town. Before the claim becomes a charge to be paid by the town, payment must
be authorized by vote of a majority of electors present at a town meeting. First, there must be due
notice that the question will be considered and voted on at the meeting.
History: (1094) 1907 c 150 s 1; 1987 c 229 art 8 s 1
