WORCESTER COUNTY. 5267

the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Worcester County if the
amounts ordered to be paid therein be not paid in thirty days after the
passage of the order, and the lien may be enforced by scire facias, or bill
in equity, as in the case of a mechanics' lien. If the property affected,
and on account of which the assessment was made, is not sufficiently de-
scribed for identification, the description may be perfected in the writ of
scire facias, or bill in equity. If scire facias is resorted to a separate writ
shall be issued in the case of each person who has not paid his assess-
ment, but if in any case two or more persons are together liable to pay
the same on account of the same property, one scire facias shall suffice
for all such parties. But all the assessments may be adjusted under the
same bill and decree in a court of equity; the property of infants shall be
affected equally with that of adults under and by virtue of such assess-
ment ; but in the case of infants the proceedings to enforce the same shall
be by bill of equity; the judgment under scire facias or the decree in
equity shall set forth the priority which the assessment made by the order
of the Mayor and Council holds and possesses in the premises; under the
decree the payment of the lien may be compelled by execution or by ap-
pointment of a trustee to sell. The adjusters shall be paid one dollar
per day each while performing the duty herein imposed on them.
