40:14-3. Whenever any one or more counties and municipalities shall have flowing through their respective boundaries and borders, any inland waterways or navigable stream, and it shall be deemed to the advantage of any two or more of said counties and municipalities, to improve such inland waterways or streams by increasing their depth or width or both, they may, acting together advertise for bids for the doing of such work, and enter into a joint contract therefor.
