therein in the Town or adjacent to the Town, which may be
needed for the disposal of said sewage or drainage, or
for any pipes, sewers, buildings or other works or struc-
tures needed for the construction and operation of said
sewers or disposal or treatment of said sewage or drainage.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That the Town shall
provide for each and every property abutting upon a street,
road, lane, alley or right-of-way, in which, under this Act,
a sewer main is laid, a sewer connection which shall be
extended as required, from the sewer main to the property
line of the abutting property, said connection to be con-
structed by and at the sole expense of the Town. When any
sewer main is declared by the Town Commissioners of the
Town to be complete and ready for the delivery of sewage,
every abutting property owner, after due notice, shall make
such connection as to discharge all of the sewage from said
property into said main, within a time prescribed by said
Town Commissioners. Upon the completion of such con-
nection, it shall become the duty of said owners of said
property forthwith either to seal up or fill up their privy
sinks, wells, cesspools, drains or sewage receptacles, and to
abandon the use of the same, upon the direction and con-
trol of the Town. The Town shall have power and authority
to provide by ordinance or ordinances when and how such
connection shall be made, and fines and penalties for the
failure, neglect or refusal of property owners or occupants
of houses or other buildings and land in said Town to make
or permit such connection, or to seal up or fill up such wells,
privy sinks, cesspools, drains or other sewage facilities, and
for injuries to and interference with said sewers, drains,
pipes and connections, and said fines and penalties shall be
collected as other fines and penalties are collected. Where
appropriate facilities do not exist, or are of a nature which,
in the judgment of the Town Commissioners of the Town,
are unsatisfactory, improper or inadequate, satisfactory
equipment shall be installed.

SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That the Town is
hereby authorized and empowered to make a proper and
reasonable charge for connection with said sewerage system
so to be constructed and established as aforesaid, and to
change and vary said connection charges from time to time
in order to reflect costs. The Town is further authorized
and empowered to fix an annual assessment on all property,
improved and unimproved, binding on a street, road, lane,
alley or right-of-way in which a sewer main has been built.
