water main or sewer, and in the event of such connection
being made said property owner and said property, as to all
charges, rates and benefits, shall in every respect stand in the
same position as if the said property abutted upon a water
main or sewer. The annual benefit charges as above specified

assessed, subject only to prior State, county and municipal
charges, and shall be enforced by a judgment upon complaint
of the Mayor and Council of Salisbury before any Justice of
the Peace or the Circuit Court for Wicomico County, and

said levy 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 levy is in de-
fault.
