although the Mayor and Council of Brunswick have paid the
whole cost of such improvements.

AND WHEREAS, it is just and proper that all property which
may have been benefited by such work should pay its proper
proportion of such cost to the extent that such property may
have been specially benefited. Therefore

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That in any and all cases where any street, lane or
alley, or any part thereof, in the town of Brunswick, Frederick
County, Maryland, has been improved, graded, paved or curbed,
or re-graded, re-paved or re-curbed, under any ordinance which
provided for assessing the whole, or any portion of the cost of
such improvement, upon the property binding on such street,
lane or alley, or any part thereof, and the assessments subse-
quently made, or attempted to be made, or any part thereof,
remain unpaid, it shall be lawful for the Mayor and Council
of Brunswick to provide, by ordinance, for the levy and collec-
tion as other town taxes are collected, or in such manner as
may be prescribed by ordinance of the Mayor and Council of
Brunswick, of a tax upon all the property binding on any
street, lane or alley, or part thereof which may have been so
improved, to the extent that such property shall have been
specially benefited by such, improvement; provided that no
property upon which the assessment originally made, or at-
tempted and intended to be made by commissioners heretofore
appointed, or attempted so to be, for its share of the cost of
such improvement shall have been fully paid shall be again
assessed, and that reasonable notice, and opportunity to be
heard, shall be given to all persons interested before the final
ascertainment of the amount of tax to be paid by any such
property; and any person, including the town itself, feeling
aggrieved at the action of any commissioner or commissioners,
or other persons appointed to determine the amount or amounts
of such special taxes or assessments, shall have the right to
appeal to the Circuit Court for Frederick County and to a
trial by jury; provided said appeal be taken within thirty days
after the determination of said commissioner or commissioners,
or other persons appointed to determine the amount or amounts
of such special taxes or assessments; and an appeal may be
taken to the Court of Appeals by either party; provided said
appeal be entered within thirty days after the rendition of
judgment by the Circuit Court for Frederick County.
