Whenever a new highway has been laid out by authority of any town or city, such highway shall be marked or defined in the following manner: At the beginning and termination by stone, steel or iron bounds on each side, and a stone, steel or iron bound at each angle or deflection between the beginning and termination. Stone bounds shall be not less than four inches square by two feet in length, with a mark on the top. Steel or iron bounds shall be not less than one inch in diameter if round, or not less than one inch square, and shall be two and one-half feet in length. No new highway shall be deemed legally located, or a legal highway, until so marked or defined. The authorities of towns or cities making the layout shall at least once in five years personally examine such bounds and renew all lost or misplaced ones. Any person owning land bounded in part or wholly by a highway may make application in writing to the authorities of the town or city in which such land is located for bounds to be placed on such described land. Such authorities shall thereupon place on the lines of the highway on such described lands bounds as hereinbefore described, provided the cost of procuring and the estimated cost of placing the same shall be first paid to such authorities by the applicant. The authorities of towns and cities making such layout shall have an adequate description of such bounds recorded in towns in the town clerk's office and in cities in the office in which records of streets or highways are made.
