and lateral sewer mains and the location and character of the plant or
means for disposing of the sewerage collected by the proposed system.
Such survey shall be made and said report and plat filed with said Com-
missioners within sixty days from such request. Upon the filing of such
report and plat the said Board of County Commissioners shall submit a
copy of said report and plat to the State Board of Health, and when said
Board shall approve in writing the said plans of said system, as to sanitary
efficiency, design and character, then the said County Commissioners of
Baltimore County shall fix a day for a public hearing on said petition,
and shall give notice thereof by publishing said petition and the date for
such hearing in some newspaper published in Baltimore County for not
less than two successive weeks. At such hearing all persons affected by
the construction of the proposed system may appear and be heard upon
the question as to whether the public health and convenience requires the
establishment of the proposed system.

The County Commissioners of Baltimore County will thereupon deter-
mine whether the public health and convenience require the construction
and maintenance of the proposed sewerage system; and if, in their judg-
ment, said proposed system is necessary for the public health and con-
venience they shall appoint three capable and upright citizens of Balti-
more County, not residing in the area to be served by such proposed sys-
tem, and not owning property therein, who shall be known as Sewerage
Examiners and who shall investigate and determine the probable cost of
constructing and establishing such system, and the names of the property
owners in the area served by such proposed sewer and the amount to
which each will be actully benefited or damaged thereby, and shall return
such estimate and the probable cost, damage and benefits to the said County
Commissioners. The said Commissioners shall then assess the cost of
constructing and establishing the proposed system upon the persons inter-

thereby. And the said County Commissioners of Baltimore County shall
then cause notice to be given to all persons assessed of the assessments
respectively so made on them by said County Commissioners, by publica-

said assessments of benefits and damages will be heard; such date to be
not more than sixty days from the date of the return of the examiners
aforesaid, and copies of said advertisement shall be served upon the per-
son interested, or, if they cannot be found, posted conspicuously on the
premises affected by some constable of said county, who shall thereupon
return to the said County Commissioners the time and manner of such
service, and for such service and return said constable shall be allowed
the fee allowed for the service and return of writs of summons. If any
person interested shall feel aggrieved by the assessment or award so made
he shall file in writing with the said County Commissioners on or before
the day set in said notice for hearing objection to such assessments or
awards, and the said County Commissioners on the day so fixed shall
