4 village authorities.

6 ized by section one of this act shall be deemed to occur when the town
7 adopts a resolution extending a fire district as required by subdivision
8 2 of section 170 of the town law; provided, however, that nothing in
9 this act shall be construed as relieving the town of Mohawk from comply-
10 ing with the provisions of subdivision 1 of section 173 of the town law.
