argument upon such objections, and shall consider the same, and said
objections, the awards and assessments and all other proceedings in the
matter, and may then by their order confirm, alter, amend or correct the
said awards and assessments, or any of them and if no appeal be prayed
from the said order of said County Commissioners so passed within ten
days said order shall become final and effective. Any person interested
may appeal to the Circuit Court for Baltimore County from the order of
the said County Commissioners passed upon such objections provided a
written order for such appeal shall be filed with said County Commis-
sioners within ten days from the passage of such order; the parties to such
appeal to be arranged in the record of proceedings as their actual interests
may require. The person or persons so appealing shall within thirty days
from the date of the appeal pay or tender to the Chief Clerk and Auditor
of said County Commissioners the cost of the record of proceedings in
said appeal, to be taixed as the cost of records in the several Circuit Courts
for the counties of this State are taxed, and if said appeal is not so taken
and said costs so tendered or paid, the right of appeal and all other rights
in connection with said appeal shall be taken and considered as abandoned
and waived. Upon the taking of such appeal and the tender or payment
of said costs, the Chief Clerk and Auditor of the said County Commis-
sioners shall prepare and transmit to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for
Baltimore County a transcript of the records of such proceedings. Such
appeal shall be tried at the term of said court then being held, or as soon
thereafter as convenient, and at such trial either party shall have the right
to a jury trial as in cases at common law; any of the proceedings may, on
such appeal be amended as to matters of form as fully as the proceed-
ings in appeal from justices of the peace may be amended. Upon the trial
of such appeal the court shall give such judgment in the matter as may
be proper, including costs, and the judgment so given shall be certified by
the clerk of said court to the said County Commissioners. If no appeal
shall be taken from any order ratifying or confirming said assessments of
benefits or award of damages within the time heretofore specified, or if
on any appeal the said assessment or award is confirmed in whole or in
part, then said assessments imposed by said order, or in case of an appeal
to the extent to which the assessment or awards made in said order which
is the subject of the appeal is affirmed by the judgment on said appeal,
shall be and become due and payable to the County Treasurer of Balti-
more County, and any and all such assessments for benefits shall be and
become a tax and lien upon the property, real and personal, of the person
or corporation against whom said assessment may be made to the same
extent and as fully as State and county taxes, and subject to the same limi-
tation as to time; if not paid within thirty days from the time when they
shall respectively become payable, said assessments may be collected, by
the Treasurer of the county by an action of debt or in the same manner
as county taxes are ordinarily collected, or by a bill in equity at the in-
stance of the Treasurer to enforce such lien; and upon any order awarding
damages becoming final, or in the event of an appeal to the extent that
