interest as aforesaid, the unpaid balance due for said special benefit
assessments shall continue as a first lien on the property sold in the
hands of the purchaser thereof. The Commission shall cause to be
prepared and maintained, from time to time, a current and up-to-date
public record of all unpaid special benefit assessments which have
become liens as aforesaid, such record to be continuously on file and
recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Washington County,
as a part of or in conjunction with the County land records, and to
show the name or names of the owner or owners of any such prop-
erty in default, the location of any such property, the lot numbers,
when of record, and the amount of special benefit assessments due.
The records so filed by the Commission shall constitute legal notice
of all liens shown thereon.

(f)    If any liens, benefit assessments or other charges remain
unpaid for sixty (60) days after becoming due, they may be collected
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 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.

(g)   At least every sixty (60) days, the Treasurer of the County
shall remit to the Commission the proceeds of all special benefit
assessments collected by him, together with a list showing the prop-
erties and the years for which such collections have been made. With
respect to each project or improvement, the Secretary-Treasurer of
the Commission shall maintain an account on his books showing the
amount of money to be repaid with respect thereto from the proceeds
of special benefit assessments, determined by the Commission as
aforesaid, and the properties liable for such special benefit assess-
ments. Upon receipt of each such remittance from the County Treas-
urer, the Secretary-Treasurer shall credit the appropriate account
with the collection of special benefit assessments upon the properties
listed thereon and, as required by any resolution of the Commission
authorizing bonds, he shall periodically deduct from each such ac-
count its proportionate share of principal and interest due on bonds,
determined by the Commission pursuant to subparagraph (a) hereof.

Taxes.

by this sub-title and of paying the interest thereon, the Commission
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 in which said District is located an-
nually 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 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
