cels of property for the depth or depths of one hundred and
fifty feet, but no piece or parcel of ground shall be charged
under this act unless it binds or abuts upon a street or road
or right of way in which such sewer or main is constructed and
subject to the general regulations and charges for use, can be
served by such water main or sewer—and where a corner lot
binds or abuts upon two streets or roads or rights of way which
contain sewers or water mains, the front feet shall be computed
for the purpose of the charges which may be imposed under
this act as one-half of the total number of front feet in such
corner lot measured on two sides and the part of any water main
or sewer so omitted as against a corner lot shall be charged to
the other pieces of property binding or abutting on the same.
Provided, further, however, that the compensation to be allowed
the inspector, which shall not be in excess of the amount to be
agreed upon by the County Commissioners, after such confer-
ence aforesaid, may include the cost of plans and specifications.
It shall be the duty of the inspector to carefully observe the
progress of the work under the contract and report to the
County Commissioners from time to time; and to represent
and faithfully protect the interest of the County Commissioners
and of the special taxpayers in said district during the per-
formance of any contract, and he may order when so authorized
by written order of the County Commissioners changes in the
contract and work, and County Commissioners shall have the
power upon the request of the inspector, or otherwise, to order
the work suspended if the contractor is in their judgment not
performing the same according to the plans and specifications
or in a manner that will not give the public service designed
to be rendered by the sewer or water mains or otherwise con-
tracted for. And at the completion of the work by the con-
tractor the inspector shall notify the County Commissioners
that the work is completed. The County Commissioners shall
thereupon give notice to the persons who made the deposit
aforesaid and the petitioners, by mail, that they have been so
notified by the inspector, and will, unless objection be had within
a week, order the inspector to sign and deliver to the Treasurer
of the county the special tax bills hereinafter provided for a
sufficient number of which said special tax bills to cover the
contract price of the work shall be delivered by said Treasurer
to the parties in whose favor they are issued for collection,
and the balance, a sufficient number to cover the other expendi-
tures authorized under this act, shall be issued in said Treas-
urer's favor for collection, to be disposed of by him and the
proreeds therefrom by him paid to the parties entitled thereto,
