(70c) for each front foot of such property abutting upon such street,
highway, lane or alley; provided, however, that where any property is
situated at the corner of two such streets, highways, lanes or alleys, or

otherwise so situated as to be assessed for the expense of building a sewer
on one of such streets, highways, lanes or alleys, only the front (as deter-
mined by the Commissioners of Ridgely) of such property shall be liable
for such assessment, and the whole assessment shall be made upon the
completion of any portion of a sewer, either in front or on the side of
such property so as to make the said property assessable to said sewer;
and provided further that no property, or portion of property, shall be
assessed for the construction of any sewer, unless such property, or some
portion thereof, shall abut and be bounded upon the street, highway, lane
or alley, in which said sewer shall have been constructed., or, unless such
property, or a portion thereof, has a right of access to said street, highway,
lane or alley, or desires to use said sewer before a sewer is constructed
upon the street, highway, lane or alley upon which said property abuts,
in either of which case the said property shall be liable for the same
assessment as though the sewer was constructed in the street, highway,
lane or alley upon which said property abuts, and the said property shall
not be liable for any further assessment for sewer purposes.

519. When any such assessment shall be made upon any land for the

expense of constructing any such sewer, the owner, so assessed, shall have
the right to connect such land with such sewer, under and subject to such
rules and regulations as the Commissioners of Ridgely shall, from time
to time, prescribe.

1912, ch. 578, sec. 46.

520. When any sewer constructed under the provisions of this Act
is completed, the Commissioners of Ridgely shall cause to be prepared a
list showing the names of the property owners, the linear feet of frontage

owned by each as abutting upon the street, highway, lane or alley in which
said sewer was constructed, the amount proposed to be assessed against
each lot or parcel of land in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
Upon the completion of such list the said Commissioners of Ridgely shall
give notice by publication in one issue of a newspaper published and dis-
tributed in Caroline County, Maryland, that such assessment has been
completed and is open for inspection at the United States Postoffice of
Ridgely, and at a time mentioned in said notice, not less than six (6) days
after the date of its publication, the Commissioners shall meet to hear
and determine any objection or defence that may be filed to such assess-
ments, or to the amount thereof. Any person who does not file objections
in writing to such assessments with the said Commissioners on or before
the date set for the hearing shall be held to have consented to the same.
The Commissioners of Ridgely shall by resolution duly entered in their
minutes, fix the amount of the assessment against each lot or tract of land
described and included in such list, which, when so approved by said Com-
