32. Whenever a municipality is bounded on any side by navigable or other waters or by the bank or beaches of such waters, the jurisdiction of the corporation for police purposes shall extend in front of the municipality to the middle of such waters and to the islands and shoals therein found, if such territory does not already form part of a city, town or village municipality.
If, however, the waters fronting the municipality be wider than two miles, such jurisdiction shall not be exercised on more than one mile from the bank or shore.
