333. The Mayor and Council of Salisbury, for the purpose
of assessing benefits for the water supply and sewerage sys-
tems which may be acquired or constructed under this sub-title,
shall divide all property binding upon a street, lane, alley or
right of way in which the water pipes or sanitary sewers are
to be laid into classes. Immediately upon the purchase or
condemnation or construction of the water supply or sewerage
system, the Mayor and Council of Salisbury is empowered to
fix and levy a benefit charge upon all property abutting upon
the water mains or sewers in accordance with the classifica-
tion, and shall, in writing, notify all owners of said property
into which class their respective properties fall and the charge
determined upon, naming also in said notice a time and place
when and at which said owner or owners will be heard. Such
notice may be mailed to the last known address of the owner
or owners or, in the case of vacant or unimproved property,
posted upon the premises. The classification of and benefit
assessed against any property as made by the Mayor and Coun-
cil of Salisbury shall be subject to revision at said hearing,
and any party feeling aggrieved by the determination of the
Mayor and Council of Salisbury may within ten days from the
date thereof take an appeal therefrom to the Circuit Court for
Wicomico County. The Mayor and Council of Salisbury may
change the classification of property from time to time, as said
properties change in the uses to which they are put. Said bene-
fits shall be levied for water supply and sewerage purchase or
condemnation or construction upon the number of front feet
abutting upon the street, lane, alley or right of way in which
a water main or sewer is placed; provided, however, that no
lot shall be assessed on more than one side, that corner lots
shall be assessed on that frontage towards which the building
does or would naturally face, and that all lots shall be assessed
for their full frontage, even though a water main or sewer
may not extend along the full length of any boundary; and
provided further that in the case of irregularly shaped lots and
shallow lots fronting upon more than one street, the Mayor
and Council of Salisbury may determine upon for assessment
and may assess such length of frontage as they may deem rea-
sonable and fair. Front-foot benefit charges for water supply
and sewerage purchase or condemnation or construction shall
be uniform for each class of property throughout the City.
The amount of the charge per front foot for each class of prop-
erty for water mains and sewers shall be determined from time
to time by the Mayor and Council of Salisbury, as costs and
conditions require. Said benefit charges shall be paid an-
