AMENDMENT TO BALTIMORE CITY CHARTER

RESOLUTION No. 12, APPROVED SEPTEMBER 27, 1934.

This amendment postpones the collection of benefit assessments
until the actual work of physically opening, extending, widening,
straightening, closing or grading of any street has been completed;
extends the time within which benefit assessments, or the first install-
ments thereof, must be collected from two months to six months from
the date the physical work has actually been done; postpones the
City’s lien for benefit assessments until such physical work has actu-
ally been done; requires notice to be placed upon lien certificates that
a benefit assessment has been made, from and after the return of
the Commissioners for Opening Streets is sent to the City Collector,
but that said assessment will not become a lien until the physical
work has actually been done; allows benefit assessments to be paid
before they become liens and provides for the return of such pay-
ments in the event the condemnation ordinance is later repealed or
declared invalid; authorizes the Commissioners for Opening Streets
to apportion benefit assessments after the completion of their final
return; and allows any one dissatisfied with such apportionment to
appeal to the Baltimore City Court.
