When a highway or bridge established by a court is discontinued in whole or in part and before the assessment under section 781 has been spent according to the court order, the town assessed may apply to have the court suspend the collection of the assessment in whole or in part and order the assessment in whole or in part to be spent for building any highway or bridge which the town is liable to build.
