interest thereon and costs to day of sale. If any sale made
hereunder shall be set aside for failure to comply with the
terms hereof, that fact shall not bar the right of said town
to collect said assessment and enforce the lien thereof by
equitable suit as aforesaid.

(E) In all cases where the property to be assessed for
improvements under the provisions of this section is located
at the intersection of two streets, constituting what is com-
monly known as a corner lot, assessment shall be made for
the full frontage of said lot for any improvements abutting
thereon; in case the improvements are extended along the side
of said lot the assessment for such improvements shall be
made for one-half only of the lineal footage thereof. Should
any question arise as to the street upon which said property
may front the decision of the Council in regard thereto shall
be final and conclusive. In the case of irregularly shaped
lots not definitely constituting corner lots, where the front-
ages thereof are excessive, the Council shall make an assess-
ment against fifty feet of said frontage and against one-half
only of the additional frontage thereof,

(F) Any person or persons desiring the construction of any
public work authorized under the provisions of this section
may petition the Council in writing therefor; and if all the
abutting property affected is represented in said petition and
the petitioners agree therein to a waiver of legal requirements
hereunder the Council may direct the construction of said
work without compliance with said legal requirements and
may assess the cost thereof in accordance herewith as though
all legal requirements had been complied with; and said con-

valid as in this section provided.

Council is hereby given power and authority, in addition to
such power and authority as is conferred elsewhere in this
Charter, to borrow such additional sums from time to time
as may be needed to make such improvements, including the
proportionate share thereof, if any, to be assessed against the
town in accordance with this section, and to issue certificates
of indebtedness as evidence thereof. All sums so borrowed
shall be kept in a separate account to be known as the "Special
Improvement Fund'' and shall be borrowed for no longer
