classifications and the front foot assessment rates from year to year, as may

shall notify in writing all assessed property owners as to the classification
of their properties and the amount of their assessment, naming in said
notice a time and place when and where said owners will be heard. The
classification of and the benefit charges assessed against any property shall

shall be in default after sixty days from the date of levy and said levy
shall bear interest at the rate of one (1) per cent, a month from and after
the time said levy is in default.
