§ 945. Proceedings

When it is necessary for the protection of a highway to erect an embankment or dike upon the banks of a stream, and the owner of the stream or of the lands adjacent will not permit town officials to enter upon the lands for this purpose, or requires them to pay a greater sum than in their judgment they ought to pay, the selectmen may take the land following the procedures established in section 923 of this title.
