    § 284. Expenditures for repair and improvement of highways. The moneys
  levied  and  collected  for  the  repair  and  improvement  of highways,
  including sluices, culverts and bridges having a span of less than  five
  feet  and  boardwalks  or renewals thereof, the moneys received from the
  state, as provided by sections two hundred seventy-nine and two  hundred
  eighty-two,  and  such  other  moneys  as the town board, by resolution,
  shall have transferred pursuant to section one hundred thirteen  of  the
  town  law  or  pursuant  to  section  two  hundred eighty-five-a of this
  chapter shall be  expended  for  the  repair  and  improvement  of  such
  highways,  sluices,  culverts, and bridges and walks, at such places and
  in such manner as may be agreed upon by the  town  board  and  the  town
  superintendent  of  highways. Such agreement shall be written and signed
  in duplicate by a majority of the members of the town board, and by  the
  town  superintendent,  before  the  same  shall take effect. One of such
  duplicates shall be filed in the office of the town clerk and one in the
  office of the county superintendent. Such moneys shall be  paid  out  by
  the  supervisor  on  vouchers  approved  by  the  town superintendent in
  accordance with such written agreement.
    The town board and town superintendent may also appropriate from  such
  moneys  such  a sum of money as they deem proper for the construction or
  repair of any public road, walk, place or avenue  upon  any  sand  beach
  separated by more than two miles of water from the main body of the town
  or  on  any island or part of an island in the town, although such road,
  walk, place or avenue is narrower than the width of highways required by
  statute, but the construction or repair of any such road, walk, place or
  avenue with such moneys on any such beach or on any such island or  part
  of  an  island shall not be construed as imposing any liability upon the
  town or upon the superintendent of highways for any injury to person  or
  property happening thereon.
