corporations in the public General Laws of Maryland, now or here-
after in effect, and said Commission may likewise condemn the
interest of any tenant, lessee or other person having any right or
interest in said land, structures or buildings, stream bed, waterway,
water rights or watershed. At any time after ten days after the re-
turn or recordation of the verdict or award in said proceedings, the
Commission may enter and take possession of the property so con-
demned, upon first paying to the Clerk of the Court the amount of said
reward and all costs taxed to that date, notwithstanding any appeal

of said payment, however, the Commission shall give its corporate
undertaking to abide by and fulfill any judgment in such appeal or

395. The Commission may establish a sanitary district or dis-
tricts in Cecil County for the purpose of providing a water and/or
sewerage system in the areas where said Commission deems it neces-
sary for the health, safety and welfare of the residents living in
such areas by causing surveys to be made of the proposed district or
districts and by preparing a complete engineering and financial re-
port which shall include the estimated assessed property valuation as
fixed for county taxation within the proposed sanitary district, which
estimated assessed valuation shall be furnished the Commission by
the County Commissioners. When such surveys and estimates are
completed, the Commission shall give notice by publication in one
or more newspapers published within the County, once a week for
three (3) successive weeks, and by hand-bills posted and circulated in
the proposed sanitary district or districts, which notice shall specify
the proposed area to be included in said sanitary district or districts,
together with the time and place of hearing to be held, at which hear-
ing those present shall be informed of the contents of the engineer's
survey and the probable cost of establishing said district or districts.
If, on a vote a majority of the owners of property present at said hear-
ing vote to approve the establishment of said sanitary district or dis-
tricts, then the area described in said survey shall be and become a
sanitary district or districts for the service or services approved at
said meeting. If ten (10) property owners residing in said area are
dissatisfied with the establishment of the district by the Commission
after said hearing, they shall have the right to take and enter within
ten (10) days after said Commission's decision is filed with the Clerk
of the County Commissioners on appeal to the County Commissioners
of Cecil County. The County Commissioners of Cecil County shall
review the decision of the Commission after having given notice by
publication in one or more newspapers published within the county
once a week for three (3) successive weeks and by written notice to
the protestants, which notice shall specify the time and place at which
the hearing will be held. The County Commissioners after reviewing
the facts at said hearing may, in their discretion, reverse the decision
of the Commission or may sustain the decision of the Commission.
If the said property owners are dissatisfied with the order of said
County Commissioners, they shall have the right to take and enter
within thirty (30) days after the decision of said County Commission-
ers an appeal to the Circuit Court for Cecil County. In the event no
appeal is taken from the decision of the Commission approving said
district or in the event the County Commissioners and the Court, if
