route, manner of construction and terms upon which granted, adopted at a
regular  meeting of the board of trustees of the village, TOWN BOARD, or
the legislative body of the city by a two-thirds vote thereof, but  such
resolution  shall  not  affect  any  private right. No pavement shall be
removed in any city under the provisions  of  this  article,  except  as
directed  by  the legislative body, nor until the corporation seeking to

may require for relaying of any pavements removed.  In case any pavement
shall  have  been removed and not properly relaid, the city may sue such
corporation, for the cost of relaying such pavement.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
