§  196.  County aid for connecting highway through villages. The board  of supervisors of a county may,  upon  the  petition  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  an  incorporated  village, provide for the construction or  improvement of a highway or section thereof, through  such  village,  at  the  joint  expense  of the county and village. The board of supervisors  shall determine  the  portion  of  the  cost  of  the  construction  and  improvement of such highway to be borne by the county and the portion to  be borne by the village. The portion, if any, to be borne by the village  shall  be a village charge and the residue shall be a county charge. The  amount to be borne by the county shall be provided by tax, to be  levied  upon the taxable property of the county and collected in the same manner  as  other  county charges and shall be paid into the county treasury and  such tax shall not be reported as a basis for state aid as  provided  by  article six of this chapter or the county may finance all or part of its  share  pursuant  to the local finance law. The board of supervisors may,  in its discretion,  appropriate  and  make  immediately  available  from  county funds, the portion of the moneys to be borne by the county.    The  board  of  supervisors  may  designate the highway to be improved  under the provisions of this section and in such case, the cost shall be  borne by the county.  No  such  highway  shall  be  so  constructed  and  improved  through  a  village,  except  to  connect  a  highway improved  pursuant to the provisions of sections one hundred and ninety-four,  one  hundred  and  ninety-five,  or  article six of this chapter with a state  highway, or a county road, or  to  connect  with  another  town  highway  improved  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  sections  one  hundred  and  ninety-four, one  hundred  and  ninety-five,  or  article  six  of  this  chapter,  or  to  connect  a  city street with a highway improved by the  county or state. Such construction shall  not  be  commenced  until  the  portion,  if any, to be borne by the village, as determined by the board  of supervisors, has been deposited in the county treasurer's  office  of  such  county.  The  construction  or improvement of a highway, as herein  provided, shall be done under  the  supervision  and  direction  of  the  county superintendent of highways or of a committee known as the highway  officials  of the county, to consist of the county superintendent, three  members of the board to be appointed by the chairman, and the supervisor  of the town in which road is being improved. Payments therefor shall  be  made  from  time to time by the county treasurer upon the certificate of  the county superintendent, approved by the  chairman  of  the  board  of  supervisors.    A highway within a village constructed or improved as herein provided,  shall  be  of  the  same  width  and  type  of construction as such town  highways so improved by the aid  of  the  county  outside  the  village,  unless  a  greater width or different type of construction is desired by  the village. The additional expense caused by  the  increased  width  or  different  type  or both, shall be borne wholly by the village. Any such  highway, when completed, shall thereafter be repaired and maintained  by  the  village  wherein  such highway is located in the same manner as all  other village highways. The board of supervisors may determine that such  highways be thereafter repaired and maintained under the supervision and  direction of the county superintendent of highways  and  thereafter  the  amount,  if any, to be borne by the village shall be paid by the village  into the county treasury and the whole of such money including the share  of the county and of the village, if any,  shall  be  paid  out  by  the  county  treasurer  for  the  repair  and maintenance of such highways on  orders signed by the county superintendent of highways and countersigned  by the chairman of the board of supervisors.
