by this section shall be assessed against the owner of the prop-
erty charged with such special assessment and become a lien
upon such property and be collected with said assessment as
hereinafter provided.
All assessments or any installment levied hereunder, when-
ever overdue according to the terms of the resolution provid-
ing therefor, may be collected in the manner in which general
taxes due said County are now or may hereafter be collected
under the provisions of the General and Local Laws of the
State of Maryland and any sale made for the non-payment of
such assessment and any deed made pursuant to such sale
shall be entitled to all the presumptions as to validity that
now or may hereafter attach to sales and deeds made for de-
fault in payment of general taxes due said County; and when
any real property assessed as herein provided for shall become
liable to sale for any other assessment of tax whatsoever, then
the unpaid balance of the assessment levied under this section
shall become immediately due and payable and the property
against which it was levied may be sold therefor together with
accrued interest thereon and costs to day of sale. If any sale
made hereunder shall be set aside for failure to comply w^ith
the terms hereof, that fact shall not bar the right of said
Board of County Commissioners of Montgomery County to
collect said assessment and enforce the lien thereof by equit-
able suit as aforesaid.
In all cases where the property to be assessed for improve-
ments under the provisions of this section is located at the
intersection of two streets and is what is known as a corner
lot, the Board of County Commissioners of Montgomery
County shall have the power only to make an assessment for
the number of feet in the frontage of such lot and in case the
improvements are extended along the side of said property,
the Board shall only have the power to make assessment for
such improvements along the streets on which the said prop-
erty fronts. In all cases in which the question shall arise as
to the street upon which said property may front the decision
of the Board in regard thereto shall be final and conclusive.
Wherever through error, inadvertence or oversight or by
reason of any judgment or decree any property subject to a
benefit charge under this sub-title has not had the charge levied
against it, or where such charge has been levied by an erro-
neous description, or in the wrong name, or where service upon
the owner has not been had, or where such charge has been set
aside by a judgment or decree, the Board of County Commis-
sioners of Montgomery County may, upon the discovery of
said error, inadvertence, oversight or within a reasonable
time after the rendition of said judgment or decree, levy the
front foot benefit charge and said front foot benefit charge
