  § 15-2319. Payment by the state of part of cost of river improvement.
    Should  the department find that the state of New York properly should
  bear a part  of  the  cost  of  any  river  improvement,  it  is  hereby
  authorized  to  so  recommend  to the Legislature and it may not proceed
  further with the project until the Legislature has  made  the  necessary
  provisions  for  the  payment  of such costs or unless the project be so
  modified as to eliminate state contributions to the cost thereof. Except
  under the above circumstances the state shall be liable for no costs  in
  connection  with  any  such  improvement  except  that  the salaries and
  general expenses of the  members  of  the  department  not  specifically
  assigned  to  the  particular  project  are  not to be assessed upon the
  district.
