upon deferred payments and shall provide penalties for fail-
ure to pay any deferred payment when due. Assessments
so levied as aforesaid shall be a lien upon the property
against which they are charged superior to all other liens
from the date of the approval of such assessments by the
Council.
(D) In the event that provision shall be made for the
payment of the assessment aforesaid in installments, upon
