posed to be done or made, they shall provide by ordinance for the same

any may charge the expense thereof or any part of such expense against
the property which they shall find to be specially benefited thereby accord-

as a part of the cost of said work to be assessed against the benefited
property the cost of said work embraced in street intersections and exemp-
tions on corner lots or irregularly shaped lots, the actual interest charges

covering the term of indebtedness on the certificates issued for such public
work and a reasonable percentage for advertising, clerical work and other

miscellaneous expenses in connection with said work, and the items above
stated are hereby declared to be a part of the cost of said public work.

The Council shall also provide in said ordinance the time and terms upon
which payment of said assessments for said work and improvements shall
be made by said property owners, the rate of interest, if any, that shall

be charged upon deferred payments and shall provide penalties for failure

to pay any deferred payment when due. Assessments so levied as afore-

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-
