J. MILLARD TAWES, Governor                     1711

the completion of a water supply or sewerage project the Commission
is empowered and directed to fix and levy a benefit charge upon all
property abutting upon said water main or sewer, in accordance with
the classification, and shall in writing notify all owners of said prop-
erties into which class their respective properties fall and the charge
determined upon, naming also in said notice a time and place when
and at which said owners will be heard. Such notice may be mailed
to the last known address of the owner, or served in person upon any
adult occupying the premises, or in the case of vacant or unimproved
property, posted upon the premises. The classification of any property
as made by the Commission shall be final, subject only to revision at
said hearing. The Commission may change the classification of prop-
erties from time to time as said properties change in the uses to
which they are put. Said benefit charge shall be levied for both water
supply and sewerage construction and shall be based for each class of
property upon the approximate cost of said construction as an integral
part of the whole system, and either the number of front feet abutting
upon the street, lane, road, alley, [or] right of way or easement in
which the water pipe or sewer is placed [.], or with respect to multi-
unit classes, the number of units in or on the property abutting said
water main or sewer line.

(d) In classifying property and levying said front foot benefit
charge, [in case of any irregular shaped lot having a frontage on two
or more streets and 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 of said frontage said lot shall be assessed for such front-
age as the Commission may determine to be reasonable and fair, and
any irregular shaped lot having only one frontage may be assessed
for such frontage as the Commission may determine to be reasonable
and fair; and provided that whenever there are a number of lots in
the same block in one ownership appurtenant to a residence, the
Commission may give a continuous frontage to all of said lots regard-
less of the streets upon which they face, and provided, further, that
no lot in a sub-division or business classification shall be assessed on
more than one side; that corner lots in these classes shall be assessed
on that frontage towards which the building should naturally face;
that lots running through with front and rear on separate streets may
be assessed on both front and rear, and that all lots in these classes
shall be assessed for their full frontage even though a water main or
sewer may not extend along the full length of any boundary; and pro-
vided, further, that] any irregularly shaped lot abutting upon a road,
street, lane, alley, right of way or easement in which there is or is
being constructed a water main or sewer shall be assessed for the
frontage determined by the Commission to be reasonable and fair.
Wherever there are a number of lots in the same block in one owner-
ship appurtenant to a residence, the Commission may give a con-
tinuous frontage to all of the lots regardless of the streets upon which
they face. A corner lot in the subdivision residential class of less than
two (2) acres in size shall not be assessed on more than one side,
unless it also abuts on two parallel streets, but the frontage assessed
may be that determined to be reasonable and fair by the Commission,
giving consideration to the frontage towards which the building on
the lot would naturally face. Lots running through with front and
rear on separate streets may be assessed on both front and rear. Any
of the lots in the foregoing categories may be assessed for their full
frontage even though a water main or sewer may not extend along
