payable. All assessments levied hereunder whenever the same shall become
overdue according to the terms of the ordinance providing therefor, or by
reason of the non-payment of any installment thereof, may be collected by
action in equity to be brought in the county in which the land so assessed
is situated or in the same manner as general taxes due said town are now
or may hereafter be collected under the provisions of this Charter and
any sale made for the non-payment of such assessment and any deed made
pursuant to such sale shall be entitled to all the presumptions as to validity
that now or may hereafter attach to sales and deeds made for default in
payment of general taxes due said town; and when any real property as-
sessed as herein provided for shall become liable to sale for any other
assessment of tax whatsoever, then the assessment levied under this sec-
tion shall become immediately due and payable and the property against
which they are levied may be sold therefor together with accrued interest
thereon and costs to day of sale. If any sale made hereunder shall be set
aside for failure to comply with the terms hereof, that fact shall not bar
the right of said town to collect said assessment and enforce the lien thereof
by equitable suit as aforesaid.

(E) In all cases where the property to be assessed for improvements
under the provisions of this section is located at the intersection of two
streets, constituting what is commonly known as a corner lot, assessment
shall be made for the full frontage of said lot for any improvements abut-
ting thereon; in case the improvements are extended along the side of
said lot the assessment for such improvements shall be made for one-half
only of the lineal footage thereof Should any question arise as to the
street upon which said property may front the decision of the Council in
regard thereto shall be final and conclusive. In the case of irregularly
shaped lots not definitely constituting corner lots, where the frontages
thereof are excessive, the Council shall make an assessment against fifty
feet of said frontage and against one-half only of the additional frontage
thereof.

(F) Any person or persons desiring the construction of any public
work authorized under the provisions of this section may petition the
Council in writing therefor; and if all the abutting property affected is
represented in said petition and the petitioners agree therein to a waiver
of legal requirements hereunder the Council may direct the construction of
said work without compliance with said legal requirements and may assess
the cost thereof in accordance herewith as though all legal requirements
had been complied with; and said construction and assessments are hereby
declared to be legal and valid as in this section provided.

(Or) To carry out the provisions of this section the said Council is
hereby given power and authority, in addition to such power and authority
as is conferred elsewhere in this Charter, to borrow such additional sums
from time to time as may be needed to make such improvements, includ-
ing the proportionate share thereof, if any, to be assessed against the town
in accordance with this section, and to issue certificates of indebtedness as
evidence thereof. All sums so borrowed shall be kept in a separate ac-
