ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 577

shaped lot having a frontage on two or more streets and abut-
ting upon a road, street, lane, alley or right of way in which
there is or is being constructed a water main or sewer at any
point of said frontage shall be assessed for said frontage as
the commission may determine to be reasonable and fair, not,
however, to exceed the longest frontage on any one street; and
provided further, that no lot in a sub-division property shall
be assessed on more than one side, that corner lots in this
class shall be assessed on that frontage towards which the build-
ing should naturally face, and that all lots in this class shall
be assessed for their full frontage even though a water main
or sewer may not extend along the full length of any boun-
dary; and provided further, that no land so classed as agri-
cultural by this commission, when in actual use for farming
or trucking purposes, shall be assessed a front-foot benefit when
such agricultural land has constructed through it or in front
of it a sewer or water main, until such time as a water or sewer
connection is made, and when so made and for every connec-
tion such land shall become liable to a front-foot assessment
for such reasonable frontage, not exceeding three hundred feet
front, as may be determined by said commission, and shall be
immediately assessed at the rate of assessment determined upon
by said commission for agricultural land. Front-foot benefit
charges for water supply and sewer construction shall be uni-
form for each class of property throughout the district denned
by the commission under Section 4, for any one year and no
benefit charge once levied, shall be increased; provided, how-
ever, that whenever the commission acquires an existing sys-
tem, other than a municipal system, the construction cost of
which has been added in whole or in part to the purchaser of
land or lots abutting upon said system and which contribu-
tion the commission has determined to be a factor in the cost
to the commission of such system, the commission may, in its
discretion, levy a front-foot assessment less than the uniform
front-foot assessment levied in the remainder of the sub-dis-
tricts in which said system is located. The amount of the
charge per front foot for each class of property for both water
main and sewer shall be determined from time to time by the
commission as costs and condition require. Said benefit charge
shall be paid annually beginning in the year such construc-
tion is begun by all properties located as above specified, for
a period of years co-extensive with the period of maturity of
the bonds out of the proceeds of which such construction was
