J. MILLARD TAWES, GOVERNOR                           1081

tallowed any balance from said surplus, and shall be a preferred
lienor to the extent of its lien; and for the purpose of giving notice
to the general public as to existing liens and charges against any
property within any sanitary district abutting upon any water or
sewer main, the said Commission shall keep a public record of all
names of owners of property, locations of said property, lot numbers
when of record, and the amount of such benefit charges, water
service charges or such other charges that may become liens from
time to time. Said records shall be kept in the County seat of gov-
ernment and among the land records of the County or Counties, in
which said sanitary district lies, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court
for said County OR COUNTIES shall furnish such space as may be
necessary to keep and preserve such records, which, when recorded in
said public record, shall be legal notice of all existing liens within any
sanitary district. If any liens, benefit assessments or other charges re-
main unpaid for sixty (60) days after becoming due, they may be col-
lected by an action of assumpsit or by a bill in equity to enforce such
liens, and any judgment or decree obtained, where the defendants
have been served by subpoena [,] or in any other manner provided
by law, shall have the force and effect of a judgment in personam;
and the Commission, in the name of the District, may sue, or file a
bill in equity to enforce said liens against the owner of record at the
time said suit is filed or any owner of record between said dates, and
publication thereon shall be notice to all persons having any interest
in said property.

658. (a) For the purpose of retiring the bonds authorized to be
issued by this sub-title and of paying the interest thereon, the Com-
mission shall cause to be levied, against all assessable property within
said sanitary districts for which said bonds have been issued, by
the governing body of the county or counties in which said [District
is] sanitary districts are located annually so long as any of said bonds
are outstanding and not paid, a tax sufficient to provide such sum as
the Commission may deem sufficient and necessary, in conjunction
with any amounts [as] that the Commission may estimate that it
will be able to collect out of the benefit assessments therefor levied
by it but not yet paid and any further funds then available for the
purpose, to meet the interest on said bonds as it becomes due and to
pay the principal thereof as the bonds mature, and said tax shall be
determined, levied, collected and paid over in the manner following,
that is to say, at least sixty days before the tax levying period of each
year, the governing body or governing bodies of the county or coun-
ties in which a sanitary district or sanitary districts lie shall certify
to the Commission the whole valuation of the assessable property
within each sanitary district. The Commission shall then determine in
the manner above prescribed the amount which it deems necessary
to be raised during the ensuing year for the payment of interest and
principal of all bonds maturing in said year, and after deducting all
amounts in hand or in contemplation applicable to payments of in-
terest and principal on said bonds as hereinbefore and hereinafter
in this sub-title provided, it shall determine the number of cents per
$100.00 necessary to raise the said amount for each such sanitary
district and shall certify the same to the governing body [.] or gov-
erning bodies of the county or counties in which such sanitary dis-
trict or sanitary districts lie. The said governing body or governing
bodies in their next annual levy shall levy said ad valorem tax on all
land and improvements and all other property assessed for county tax
