§   328.  Lighting  of  public  highways  or  bridges.  The  board  of
  supervisors of any county may from time to  time  provide  for  lighting
  public highways, or portions thereof, or bridges, located in such county
  outside of cities and villages. The initial action of the board shall be
  in the form of a proposal. The highways, or portions thereof, or bridges
  to  be  lighted,  and the manner of lighting, shall be set forth in such
  proposal. Such proposal shall be embodied in a resolution. The  lighting
  of  one or more of such highways, or portions thereof, or bridges may be
  proposed in a single resolution. The board may provide for such lighting
  if its proposal be so approved. The expense of  installing,  maintaining
  and  caring  for  such  lights  shall be a county charge, and the moneys
  therefor shall be provided and appropriated in the same  manner  as  for
  other county expenses. The furnishing of light under this section may be
  provided  for  by  contract  or  otherwise,  but nothing herein shall be
  deemed to authorize the board  to  acquire,  construct  or  establish  a
  lighting  plant  for such purposes. The installation of lights, fixtures
  and connections shall be  done  under  the  supervision  of  the  county
  superintendent  of  highways. The board may provide for the care of such
  lights in such manner as it may deem  proper.  The  board  may,  in  its
  discretion,  at  any  time  discontinue  the lighting of any highway, or
  portion  thereof,  or  bridge   provided   for   under   this   section.
  Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the county of Monroe may
  from  time  to  time  provide  for lighting public highways, streets, or
  portions thereof, or bridges located in the city of  Rochester,  subject
  to  the  approval  of  the  city  council  of the city of Rochester. Any
  installation of lighting pursuant to this section  on  a  state  highway
  shall be subject to the approval of the commissioner.
