shall  be a town charge; providing however, no assessment on property in
any village within any town or partially within any town shall  be  made
for the maintenance or operation of a town police department established
after January first, nineteen hundred sixty, pursuant to this section if
any such village maintains a police department of four or more policemen

annual full-time basis, established and maintained under  the  rules  of
civil  service and determine therein what part of the cost thereof shall
