 12 of this section requiring a person to be a resident of the political
 13 subdivision or municipal corporation of the state for which such person
 14 shall be chosen or within which such person's official functions are
 15 required to be exercised, shall not prevent a person from holding the
 16 office of town justice of the town of Montour; provided that such person
 17 resides in a town which is in the county of Schuyler. Provided, however,
 1
