§ 184. When officers of different towns disagree about highway. When
the town superintendent of any town or officers of any village or city
having the powers of town superintendents shall differ with the town
superintendent or superintendents of any other town or with the officers
of such a village or city having the powers of town superintendents in
the same county, relating to the laying out of a new highway or altering
an old highway, extending into both towns, or a town and a village or
city, or upon the boundary line between such towns or such town and a
village or city, or when a town superintendent of a town in one county
shall differ with the town superintendent of a town or the officers of a
village or city having the powers of town superintendents in another
county, relating to the laying out of a new highway, or the altering of
an old highway, which shall extend into both counties, or be upon the
boundary line between such counties, the town superintendents of both
towns or the officers of the village or city having such powers shall
meet on five days' written notice, specifying the time and place, within
some one of such towns, villages or cities, given by either of such town
superintendents, or officers having powers of town superintendents, to
make their determination in writing, upon the subject of their
differences. If they cannot agree, they or either of them may certify
the fact of their disagreement to the supreme court in the judicial
district where all or part of the proposed highway is located; and upon
due notice to all persons interested view the proposed highway, or
proposed alteration of a highway, and take such evidence as it deems
proper, and shall decide all questions that shall arise on the hearing,
as to the laying out or altering of such highway, its location, width,
grade and character of roadbed, or any point that may arise relating
thereto; if supreme court determines in favor of opening or altering any
highway it shall order that all proceedings thereto are in conformance
with the eminent domain procedure law.
