26:3-55. Payment of expenses by local authorities
In case the local board fails to recover an amount sufficient to defray such expenses or shall deem it inexpedient to bring action, it may present a bill, certified by the board, or by a majority thereof, for such expenses or for such part thereof as may not have been recovered, to the proper disbursing officer of the municipality, and it shall be audited and paid by the municipality in and for which the local board is organized, in the same manner as the bills for the ordinary current expenses of the municipality are paid.
