Diamond International Corp. v. Little Kildare, Inc.

Order reversed and the judgment of Supreme Court, St. Lawrence County, reinstated, with costs, in a memorandum: Mere usage by the public of Water Road as relocated is not sufficient to convert this private road into a public highway absent a showing that the road was kept in repair or taken in charge and adopted by public authorities for the statutory period (Pirman v. Confer, 273 N. Y. 357; People v. Sutherland, 252 N. Y. 86; Speir v. Town of New Utrecht, 121 N. Y. 420; Highway Law, § 189).
