may finally adopt the same. If there be objections, said Com-
missioners shall hear and determine the same, and alter or
amend such proposed plan and estimates in their discretion,
whereupon they shall pass a final order adopting such plan and
estimates as originally made or as so amended. If any person
shall feel aggrieved by the passage of such order, he shall have
the right to appeal therefrom to the Circuit Court for Balti-
more county, which shall hear and determine said appeal imme-
diately, if then in session, and if not, at the first convenient day
during the ensuing session. Upon such appeal, said Circuit
Court shall have no power to review the decision of said Com-
missioners as to the propriety of said proposed improvement
or the plan thereof, but shall have power to review only the
estimate of said Commissioners as to the amount or extent, if
any, to which the appellant will be benefited or damaged there-
by, and its decision thereon shall be final. Such appeal shall be
taken within fifteen days after the date of such final order, and
if not taken within such period the right thereto will be deemed
to have been waived, upon the estimates herein provided for be-
coming final as aforesaid, said Commissioners shall proceed to
abate such nuisance in the manner proposed, and shall collect
the amount of benefits assessed by suit if necessary, and pay
out the amount of damages awarded, if any.
132I. Nothing in the preceding sections shall be construed
as limiting or qualifying the right of said County Commission-
ers, constituting the local Board of Health, to maintain pro-
ceedings in equity to enjoin the commission, maintenance or
continuance of nuisance of any kind affecting health.
132K. Nothing in any of the foregoing provisions relating to
the preservation of the public health in Baltimore county shall
be taken as in anywise repealing or as in substitution for any
provisions of the Public General Laws relating to health, ex-
cept and only in so far as any of the aforegoing sections are in
consistent therewith.
