     maintenance of any such public highway in the manner authorized
     in the foregoing section are hereby validated and made binding
     upon the county, township, borough, or incorporated town, as the
     case may be, as if full legal authority existed therefor at the

     presence opened by the commissioners and the contracts awarded;

     receipt of bids by the authorities of every county, township,
     borough, or incorporated town which is contributing to the cost
     of said improvement or maintenance.
