their own body, any two of whom may employ a surveyor for
the purpose, and the expenses thereof shall be charged in fair
proportion upon the holders of lots surveyed, and may be col-
lected as other small debts; provided, that upon application for
survey, the owners of adjoining lots or their agents shall be noti-
fied, if residing in the town; and if neither the owner of said

nent boundaries of the lots surveyed, and a certificate of the sur-

Ibid.

270. All taxes, fines, forfeitures and penalties imposed by the
president and commissioners, by virtue of any law or ordinance,
shall be applied to the use of the town, as may from time to time
be directed by the president and commissioners; and all such
fines, penalties and forfeitures may be recovered before a justice
of the peace by warrant, judgment and commitment to the town
hall in the same manner that commitments are made for fines
imposed by the circuit courts of this State; provided, that no
commitment under this section shall be for a longer period than
two days, nor until after hearing and judgment; but the president
and commissioners shall have power at any time to remit or re-
lease the said fines, penalties, forfeitures and costs, or any part
thereof, at their discretion; but any party who shall be fined, or
subjected to any penalty or forfeitures, within five days after the
same shall be imposed and judgment recovered, may supersede
or stay the same for thirty days, by giving security satisfactory
to the said justice of the peace; and the said fines, penalties and
forfeitures shall thereafter be collected as small debts are now
collectible before a justice of the peace.
