Sec. 13a-13. Layout or repair of highways dividing towns. A petition for an
order for the laying out, repair, resurfacing or other improvement of any highway, which
is the dividing line between two towns or adjoins the dividing line between two towns,
or is located wholly within one town and land fronting thereon is located in another
town, may be brought to a judge of the Superior Court by either of such towns if, in the
opinion of the official or officials having charge of the repair or maintenance of highways
in either of such towns, any such highway should be laid out, resurfaced or otherwise
improved, and such towns are unable to agree as to whether such work should be done
or as to the method of payment therefor. Such judge, after reasonable notice to all parties
interested, if he finds that such highway should be laid out or such improvement should
be made, shall order the layout of such highway or the making of such improvement,
as the case may be, and provide in such order which of such towns shall make such
layout or improvement and shall fix the proportion of the expense thereof which shall
be paid by each of such towns.
