404 - Official seals.

§  404. Official seals. The official seals of boards of supervisors of  the several counties, county seal, county treasurer's seal and the  seal  of  the  register  of  deeds  shall  continue  to be the official seals,  respectively, of such boards, county treasurer, surrogate  and  register  of  deeds  and  used as such, respectively, when authorized by law. When  any such seal shall be lost, destroyed, or become  unfit  for  use,  the  board of supervisors of the county interested therein or not having such  seal,  shall  cause a new seal or seals to be made at the expense of the  county.  A  description  of  each  of  such  seals,  together  with  the  impressions  therefrom, shall be filed in the office of the county clerk  and in the office of the secretary of  state.  In  counties  having  two  county  seats, a duplicate of the county seal shall be procured and kept  at the county seat where the county clerk's office is not  situated,  at  some  place  to be designated by the county clerk and may be used by him  the same as at his office. In counties having but one  court  house  and  which  is located more than five miles from the county clerk's office, a  duplicate of the county seal shall be procured and kept  at  such  court  house  and  the  county  clerk may use the same at such court house. The  seal kept by the county clerk in  each  county,  as  prescribed  in  the  judiciary  law, shall continue to be the seal of the county, and must be  used by him where he is required to use an official seal.
