find. Thereafter the Commissioners shall not proceed further under
the ordinance of intention, and the proceeding is terminated. If the
proceeding is terminated by a majority protest, no subsequent pro-
ceeding under this ordinance for the formation of the same, or sub-
stantially the same, district shall be commenced within six (6) months
thereafter, except upon a petition signed by the owners of a majority
in area of the taxable land in the district. If the owners of more than
one-half of the area of the property included within the district and
subject to assessment have not made written objections or protests
to the thing proposed to be done as an entirety, the Commissioners
may so find orally or otherwise and may proceed with the hearing.
The hearing may be continued from time to time by order entered
on the minutes.

34R.

At the hearing the Commissioners may by an affirmative vote of
two-thirds of its members order changes in the proposed work or
the proposed boundaries of the district by the elimination of any
portion thereof which will not in its opinion be benefited by the work
proposed to be done.

If the Commissioners propose a change in the boundaries to include
additional land in the district, said Commissioners shall adopt a
resolution briefly describing the change proposed to be made and
giving notice of the time and place when and where any interested
person may object to such change. The Administrative Assistant
shall mail a copy of a notice of intention to do so to each person
described in Section 34M hereof included in the area proposed to be
added within the time and in the manner set forth in said Section
34M. The notice shall describe the proposed change and specify the
time for hearing objections. The notice shall also be published once
in the time and manner provided for in Section 34L hereof.

If the boundaries are changed, objections or protests made by
owners of land excluded by the change shall not be counted in com-
puting a majority protest, but written objections or protests to the
things proposed to be done as an entirety made by owners of the
remaining assessable land in the district, including assessable land
added by a change, and filed with the Administrative Assistant not
later than the time set for hearing objections to the proposed change,
shall be included in computing a majority protest.

34T.

Except in the case of a majority protest, the Commissioners may
sustain or deny any or all objections or protests and its determina-
tion is final. Such determination shall be entered upon the minutes.
If the protests are denied or if no protests are filed, immediately
thereupon the Commissioners shall acquire jurisdiction to form the
district and to order the work, as proposed or as changed, to be done
and to proceed further in accordance with the provisions of this
subheading. In the event there is a majority protest against any
change proposed as provided for in Section 34R hereof, no such
change shall be ordered by the Commissioners.
