431B. Whenever an application is made to the Commission
by the owner of any real estate, improved or unimproved for
a connection to its water or sewer systems or both, it shall
be the duty of said applicant to present to the Commission
a petition containing the names of persons owning the great-
est number of lineal feet abutting upon both sides of a street,
road, lane, alley or right-of-way, adjacent to which an im-
provement or improvements are built or under construction.
The Commission may grant, hold or reject the prayer con-
tained in said petition and its decision shall be final.

4310. The Commission may extend its system at any time
upon proper notice. That when any extension is requested
by any owner or owners, the said Commission may proceed to
extend its system after all owners affected are duly notified.

by registered mail, return receipt requested, and

(3) Notice to whom it may concern by handbills circulated

Commission by any person affected by said improvements;
(C) That any person in interest affected will be heard, by said
Commission within the time specified in said notice; (D) The
time and place of hearing. The decision of the Commission
shall be final.

mission later discovers that the system or any part thereof
acquired as above is inadequate; then the said Commission
may give notice to all persons whose property abuts upon or
is served by the inadequate system that it intends to replace
