iners shall not make any change which requires such system or parts
thereof, or right to be condemned, to pass through or along or injuriously
affect the property of any person not originally notified of the proceedings,
or whose name did not appear in such original advertisement, without
giving such person at least five days' notice of such intended change and
an opportunity to be heard thereon, or unless such person shall waive such
notice. Any person interested may appeal to the Circuit Court for Prince
George's County from the final order of ratification or rejection of such
report or award by the said Commission, the parties to such appeal to
be arranged in the record of proceedings as their actual interest may re-
quire, said appeal to be taken within the time and subject to the provisions
hereinafter contained. If after any of the proceedings aforesaid it shall
be finally determined that private or corporate property or any interest
therein is to be taken for public purposes, then the entire cost thereof and
all damages to be paid to persons or corporations found to be damaged by
such taking or use shall be deemed due and payable by the County Com-
missioners, and all benefits found due from the persons or corporations
against whom the same were assessed as aforesaid shall be due and payable
to the County Commissioners, and such assessment or award shall be con-
sidered a tax and lien upon the property real and personal, of the person
or corporation so assessed, to the same extent and as fully as the State
and County taxes, and subject to the same limitations to time, if not paid
within thirty days of the final order of ratification of such award or re-
turn, and may be collected by the Treasurer of the County by an action
of debt or in the same manner as taxes are ordinarily collected, or by a
bill in equity at the instance of the Treasurer for the enforcement of such
lien.
When the construction and establishment, of a sewerage and drainage
system authorized under the taxpayers' petition, as above provided, shall
be delayed through the fact that the individual assessments remain un-
collected from any cause whatever, or the amount raised thereby is in-
sufficient, and such delay is dangerous to public health and convenience,
the said Commission is hereby authorized to borrow on the credit of said
County, an amount sufficient to make up such deficiency, and shall issue
as an evidence of such debt, Sewerage and Drainage Bonds in the manner
and form as provided herein for bond issues after favorable referendum;
provided, however, that the amount of bonds so issued shall not exceed the
estimated cost of the work to be undertaken.
Upon the collection of the money so assessed, or part thereof, and the
issue and sale of bonds so authorized, the said Commission shall at once
proceed to construct and establish such sewerage and drainage system.
