ered and directed to fix and levy a benefit charge upon all property abut-
ting upon said water supply or sewerage system, or both, in accordance
with the classification, and shall in writing notify all owners of said prop-
erties into which class their respective properties fall and the charges de-
termined upon, naming also in said notice a time and place when and at
which said owners will be heard. Such notice may be mailed to the last
known address of the owner, or served in person upon any adult occupy-
ing the premises, or in the case of a vacant or improved property, posted
upon the premises. The classification of and benefit assessed against any
property as made by the Commissioners of Millington shall be final, sub-
ject only to revision at said hearing. The Commissioners of Millington
may change the classification of properties from time to time, as said
properties change in the uses to which they are put. Said benefits shall
be levied for said water supply or sewerage construction, or for both, upon
the number of front feet abutting upon the street, lane, alley or right-of-
way in which the said water main or sewer is placed; provided, however,
that no lot shall be assessed on more than one side, that corner lots in this
class shall be assessed on that frontage towards which the building does or
would naturally face, and that all lots in this class shall be assessed for
their full frontage even though a water main or a sewer may not extend
along the full length of any boundary, and provided further, that in the
case of irregular shaped lots, and shallow lots fronting on more than one
street, the Commissioners of Millington may determine upon for assess-
ment, and may assess such length of frontage as they deem reasonable and
fair. Front foot benefit charges for water supply and sewer construction
shall be uniform for each class of property throughout the town, and no
benefit charge once levied shall be increased. The amount of the charge
per front foot for each class of property for the water supply and sewer-
age systems shall be determined from time to time by the Commissioners
of Millington as costs and conditions require. Said benefit charges shall
be paid annually beginning the year such construction is begun, by all
properties located as above specified, for a period of years co-extensive with
the period of maturity of the bonds out of the proceeds of which such con-
struction was done, provided, however, that any owner of property in the
sub-division, or industrial or business class may, at his option, extinguish
at any time said bent* charge by the payment in cash of an amount which
if put at interest at 3 1/2 per cent., compounded annually, would yield an
annuity equal to the annual assessments for the period for which the
bonds have, at the time the option is exercised, still to run. The Commis-
sioners of Millington shall at any time permit a connection with a water
main or with a sewer by a property owner whose property does not abut
on said water main or said sewer and who has not previous thereto paid a
benefit for the construction of said water supply system or said sewerage
system, provided that the said Commissioners of Millington shall first
determine the classification of said property and a front foot charge to be

*"Benefit" evidently intended.
