HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 495

Commissioners of North East shall be final, subject only
to revision at said hearing. The President and Commis-
sioners of North 'East may change the classification of
properties from time to time, as said properties change
in the uses to which they are put. Said benefits shall be
levied for water supply and sewage disposal construction
upon the number of front feet abutting upon the street,
lane, alley, or right-of-way in which the water or sewer
main is placed; provided, however, that no lot can be
assessed on more" than one side, that corner lots in this
class shall be assessed on that frontage towards which
the building does or would naturally face, and that all
lots in this class shall be assessed for their full frontage,
even though a water or sewer main may not extend along
the full length of any boundary, and provided, further,
that in case of irregular shaped lots and shallow lots front-
ing on more than one street, the President and Commis-
sioners of North East may determine upon for assessment,
and may assess, such length of frontage as they deem
reasonable and fair. Front foot benefit charges for water
supply and, or, sewage disposal construction shall be uni-
form for each class of property throughout the town. The
amount of the charge per front foot for each class of
property for water mains shall be determined from time
to time by the President and Commissioners of North East
as costs and conditions require. Said benefit charges shall
be paid annually beginning in the year such construction
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 done; provided, however, that any owner of property
in the sub-division, business, or industrial class may, at
his option, extinguish at any time said benefit charge by
the payment, in cash, of an amount which, if put at interest
at three and one-half per centum, compounded annually,
would yield an annuity equal to the annual assessments for
the period for which the bonds have, at the time the option
is exercised, still to run. The President and Commission-
ers of North East shall at any time permit a connection
with a water or sewer main by a property owner whose
property does not abut on said water or sewer main, and
who has not previous thereto paid a benefit for the con-
struction of said water or sewer main, provided the Presi-
dent and Commissioners of North East shall first deter-
mine the classification of said property, and a front foot
charge to be paid by said property owner as though his
property abutted on said water or sewer main, and in the
