applicable part of the assessment roll of the Town of North East,
with the taxable status date of such town controlling for village
purposes.
Within five days of the effective date of this
chapter, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Millerton shall file
a copy of such chapter with the Clerk and Assessor, or Board of Assessors,
