  transfer its real property held for burial purposes, together  with  its
  other  assets,  to  a  city having a population of less than one million

  adopt by a majority vote  of  such  body.    Upon  such  conveyance  and
  transfer  such property shall be and become a municipal cemetery of such
  city, town or village and such  property  and  assets  so  conveyed  and
  transferred  shall  be  administered  as any other municipal cemetery of
  such city, town or village and the said cemetery  association  shall  be
  dissolved by the recording of such conveyance and transfer.

§  163.  Lot  owners'  rights.   Lots in such cemeteries shall be held
  indivisible, and upon the decease of a proprietor of such lot the  title
  thereto  shall  descend to his or her heirs-at-law or devisees, subject,
  however to the following limitations and conditions: If  survived  by  a
  spouse  and children, they shall have in common the possession, care and
  control of such lot during the life of the surviving spouse. If survived
  by a spouse and no children, he or she shall have the  possession,  care
  and  control of such lot during his or her life. If survived by children
  and no spouse, they, or the survivor of them, shall in common  have  the
  possession, care and control of such lot during the life of the survivor
  of  them.   The parties having such possession, care and control of such
  lot during the term  thereof,  may  erect  a  monument  and  make  other
  permanent  improvements  thereon.    The surviving spouse shall have the
  right of interment for his or her body in such lot, or in a tomb in such
  lot, and a right to have his or her body remain permanently interred  or
  entombed therein, except that such body may be removed therefrom to some
  other family lot or tomb with the consent of the heirs. At any time when
  more  than  one person is entitled to the possession, care or control of
  such lot, the persons so entitled thereto shall designate in writing  to
  the  clerk  of the corporation which of their number shall represent the
  lot, and on their  failure  to  designate,  the  board  of  trustees  or
  directors  or commissioners of the corporation or commission shall enter
  of record which of said parties shall  represent  the  lot,  while  such
  failure  continues.  The surviving spouse may at any time release his or
  her right in such lot, but no conveyance or device by any  other  person
  shall deprive the surviving spouse of such right.

2023 New York Laws › GMU - General Municipal › Article 9-A - Local Option for Conduct of Games of Chance by Certain Organizations › 185 - Short Title; Purpose of Article.

§  185.  Short  title; purpose of article. This article shall be known
  and may be cited as the games of chance licensing law.  The  legislature
  hereby declares that the raising of funds for the promotion of bona fide
  charitable,  educational,  scientific,  health,  religious and patriotic
  causes and undertakings, where the beneficiaries are undetermined, is in
  the public interest. It hereby finds that, as  conducted  prior  to  the
  enactment  of  this  article,  games  of  chance  were  the  subject  of
  exploitation  by  professional  gamblers,  promoters,   and   commercial
  interests.  It  is  hereby  declared to be the policy of the legislature
  that all phases of the supervision, licensing and regulation of games of
  chance and of  the  conduct  of  games  of  chance,  should  be  closely
  controlled  and  that the laws and regulations pertaining thereto should
  be strictly construed and rigidly enforced; that the conduct of the game
  and all  attendant  activities  should  be  so  regulated  and  adequate
  controls so instituted as to discourage commercialization of gambling in
  all  its forms, including the rental of commercial premises for games of
  chance, and to ensure a maximum availability  of  the  net  proceeds  of
  games  of  chance  exclusively  for application to the worthy causes and
  undertakings specified herein; that  the  only  justification  for  this
  article  is  to  foster and support such worthy causes and undertakings,
  and that the mandate of  section  nine  of  article  one  of  the  state
  constitution,  as amended, should be carried out by rigid regulations to
  prevent commercialized gambling, prevent participation by  criminal  and
  other  undesirable  elements and prevent the diversion of funds from the
  purposes herein authorized.

  authorize the conduct of games of  chance  by  authorized  organizations
  within  the  territorial  limits  of  such  municipality. A local law or

  any  part  of any village located within such town if, after adoption of
  such local law or ordinance, the  board  of  trustees  of  such  village
  adopts  a  local  law or resolution subject to a permisive referendum as
  provided in article nine of the village law authorizing the issuance  of
  licenses by the town for games of chance within such village. Such local
  law  or  resolution  may  be  repealed only by a local law or resolution
  which shall also be subject to a permissive referendum, or by  enactment
  of  a  local  law authorizing games of chance as provided in section one
  hundred eighty-eight of this article.
