erage construction and shall be based for each class of property
upon the number of front feet abutting upon the street, lane, road,
alley or right-of-way in which the water pipes or sewer is placed
[;] and the intensity of the development or use of the property
abutting the said water main or sewer line; provided, however, that
in the case of any irregular shaped lot abutting upon a road, street,
lane, alley or right-of-way in which there is or is being constructed
a water main or sewer at any point, said lot shall be assessed for
such frontage as the Commission may determine to be reasonable
and fair; and provided further, that no lot in a sub-division property
shall be assessed on more than one side, unless said lot abuts upon
two parallel streets, that corner lots may be averaged and assessed
upon such frontage as the Commission may deem reasonable and
fair, and that all lots in this class shall be assessed even though a
water main or sewer may not extend along the full length of any
boundary; and provided further, that no land so classified as agri-
cultural by this Commission shall be assessed a front foot benefit
when said agricultural land has constructed through it or in front
of it a sewer or water main, until such time as the water or sewer
connection is made, and when so made and for every connection such
land shall become liable to a front foot assessment for such reason-
able frontage not exceeding three hundred feet, as may be determined
by said Commission, and shall be immediately assessed at the rate
of assessment determined by said Commission for agricultural land.

(f) The amount of the charge per front foot, based on a classifica-
tion as determined by sub-sections (a), (b) and (d) of said Section
182, for each class of property for both water mains and sewers may
be reduced from time to time by the Commission in its discretion,
if costs and conditions are deemed by it to justify such reduction.
Said benefit charge shall be paid annually by all properties located
as above specified, for a period of years co-extensive with the period
of maturity of the bonds out of the proceeds of which such construc-
tion was done.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1961.

Approved May 3, 1961.
