In any case founded upon tort, a notice of claim
shall be required as a condition precedent to the commencement of
an action or special proceeding against the city or any officer or
employee thereof, and the provisions of Article 4 of the General Municipal
Law shall govern the giving of such notice and the commencement of
such actions or proceedings.
No civil action shall be brought or maintained
against the City of Gloversville, and the city shall not be liable,
for any damage or injury to person or property sustained in consequence
of any street, highway, alley, bridge, culvert, sidewalk, crosswalk
or any public place being defective, out of repair, unsafe, dangerous,
or obstructed, or in consequence of the existence or accumulation
of snow or ice thereon unless notice in writing of the existence of
such condition, relating to the particular place, had heretofore actually
been served upon the City Clerk at least 24 hours before the happening
of the casualty from which such damage or injury may have resulted,
and there had been failure or neglect on the part of said city to
cause such condition to be corrected, or such snow or ice to be removed,
or the place otherwise made reasonably safe within a reasonable time
after the receipt of such notice. Said requirement of written notice
shall be strictly construed. The City Clerk shall maintain the record
of notices in accordance with Article 4 of the General Municipal Law.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall be held to revive any claim
or cause of action now barred by any existing requirement or statute
of limitation, nor to waive any existing limitation now applicable

any federal decennial census, the Common Council shall reapportion
