or otherwise treating them for the purpose of removing the danger of ice
and snow, subject to such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by
the parties involved and to the approval by resolution of each of the
legislative bodies of such county, city, town or village, as follows:

(a) By such city, town or village renting its highway tools or
equipment to the county for such purposes at such terms as may be agreed
upon;

(b) By removal of snow from county roads by a city, town or village;

of removing the danger of ice and snow by a city, town or village;

A county may in like manner contract with a city, town or village for
the erection of county owned snow fence along a county road upon such
terms and conditions as may be agreed upon. The erection of snow fence
shall not be deemed to be a part of the contract entered into as
described in b, c, d or e above, unless expressly so provided in
writing.

Such contract or contracts shall be in writing for not longer than a

respectively, and may be used for any lawful city or village highway
purpose.

Any county shall annually appropriate and expend such sum as it deems
proper for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this section.
