event of such connection being made said property owner and
said property, as to all charges, rates and benefits shall stand
in every respect in the same position as if the said property

to be named therein, to appear to said complaint at a certain

appearance, after due proof of publication and proof of the
fact that there is due and owing said Commission the amount
so claimed the Circuit Court or the justice of the peace before
whom said complaint is pending shall enter judgment against
said defendant or defendants and tax the costs including the
costs of publication, if any. No such benefit charge shall con-
tinue as a lien for a period longer than two years from the
date upon which the same became in default, unless it is
reduced to a judgment and duly recorded among the records

ated. Said benefit charge shall be payable at the office of the
Commission immediately upon being levied and shall be in
default after sixty days from that date; and said benefit
charge and any judgment obtained as a result of the default
of the payment thereof shall bear interest at the rate of one
per cent a month from and after the time said benefit charge
is in default.
