Whenever  the  town  board  or  boards  shall  adopt  a  resolution  establishing  or extending a fire district for which it is proposed that  an expenditure is to be  financed  by  the  issuance  of  bonds,  notes,  certificates  or  other  evidences of indebtedness of the fire district,  such resolution  or  determination  shall  be  submitted  to  the  state  comptroller for approval in the following manner:    (a) Within ten days after the adoption of a resolution by a town board  approving  the  establishment  or extension of such a district, the town  clerk of the town shall file a certified copy  of  such  resolution,  in  duplicate, in the office of the state department of audit and control at  Albany,  New  York,  together  with  an  application,  in duplicate, for  permission to create or extend such district as the case  may  be.  Such  application shall be executed and verified by the supervisor, or by such  other  officer  of the town as the town board shall determine, and shall  include the following:    (1) A certified copy of the  petition,  if  there  is  one,  omitting,  however,    the   signatures   and   acknowledgments   or   proofs,   or  authentications.    (2) An itemized statement of the existing indebtedness  of  the  town,  both  temporary  and  bonded, including the indebtedness of the town for  all special district purposes.    (3) A statement of the aggregate assessed  valuation  of  the  taxable  real  property  situated  in the proposed district or extension thereof,  and, if there is a petition, of the portion thereof  owned  by  resident  owners.    (b)  Whenever  such an application shall be filed in the office of the  department of audit and control, the state comptroller shall within five  days thereafter give notice thereof to the board of supervisors  of  the  county in which such proposed district or extension is located by filing  with   the  clerk  of  such  board  of  supervisors  one  copy  of  such  application. At any time within  fifteen  days  of  the  filing  of  the  application,  said  board  of  supervisors  may  file  an  objection, in  writing, in the office of said  department  of  audit  and  control.  In  addition,  the  state  comptroller  shall  determine  whether the public  interest will be served by the creation or extension of the district and  also whether the cost thereof will be an undue burden upon the  property  of  the  proposed  district or extension. The state comptroller may make  such determinations upon the original or any amended application, or  inhis  discretion  may require the submission of additional information or  data in such form and detail as he shall deem sufficient, or  may  cause  an  investigation  to  be  made, to aid him in making the determinations  above mentioned.    3.  Upon the expiration of fifteen days from the date of the filing of  such application with the clerk of the board  of  supervisors  and  upon  reaching  a  determination,  the  comptroller  shall  make  an order, in  duplicate, granting or denying permission for the creation or  extension  of  the  district and shall file one copy of such order in the office of  the state department of audit and control at Albany, New York,  and  the  other  in the office of the town clerk of the town in which the proposed  district or extension is located. The  town  clerk  shall  present  such  order to the town board of the town at the next meeting thereof.    4.  If the state comptroller shall deny permission for the creation or  extension of the district, the town board shall forthwith adopt an order  denying the petition. If the state comptroller  shall  grant  permission  therefor  or if permission of the state comptroller is not required, the  town board may adopt an order establishing the district or extension  as  the  boundaries  shall be finally determined. The town clerk shall cause  certified copies of its resolution and such order to be duly recorded in  the office of the clerk of the county or counties  in  which  such  fire  district is located. When so recorded such resolution and order shall be  presumptive evidence of the regularity of the establishment or extension  of  such  district.  The  expense  of  such  recording shall be a charge  against  the  district.  The  said  determination  shall  be  final  and  conclusive  unless  a  proceeding  for  review in the manner provided by  article seventy-eight of the civil  practice  law  and  rules  has  been  commenced  within  thirty  days  from the time of the recording thereof.  Within ten days after the adoption of such  order  by  the  town  board,  establishing  the  district  or  extension, the town clerk shall cause a  certified copy of such order to be filed in  the  office  of  the  state  department of audit and control at Albany, New York.    5.  If  the  petition  for  the establishment of a fire district shall  provide for the dissolution of  an  existing  coterminous  water  supply  district  having  no bonded indebtedness, then upon the establishment of  the fire district the district so established shall assume and  pay  all  the  liabilities  and  indebtedness  of  the  water  supply  district so  dissolved.
