1486                           LAWS OF MARYLAND                     [CH. 652

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 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 the full length of any boundary. No land so classed as agri-
cultural by this Commission, when in actual use for farming or
trucking purposes, shall be assessed a front foot benefit when such
agricultural land has constructed through it or in front of it a sewer
or water main, until such time as a 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 reasonable front-
age, not exceeding three hundred foot front, as may be determined
by said Commission, and shall be immediately assessed at the rate of
assessment determined upon by said Commission for agricultural
land. State, county and municipal buildings or property or public
parks or playgrounds owned by a municipality, and any property
or building owned by a regularly organized volunteer fire department,
while so used for such public purposes, shall be exempt from the
imposition of a front foot benefit charge. The Commission may
further provide for a hiatus in the imposition and collection of a
front foot benefit assessment for any property otherwise assessable
with respect to a sanitary sewer line which property cannot in the
judgment of the Commission obtain service from the sewer pipe upon
which the benefit would be based, but the suspension of the benefit
charge shall terminate at any time a connection with the Commis-
sion's sewer pipe [or water line, as the case may be,] is made by the
owner of the property, whereupon the property shall be classified
and the benefit charge shall commence and run for the total number
of years, at the rate for such class which it would have run had it been
established at the time of the original construction. If property in
the Sanitary District is at the time of construction of a Commission
water line or sanitary sewer line connected to a public water system
or public sewer system operated either by a municipality or by a
water or sewer company subject to the requirements of the Maryland
State Department of Health, or if following construction of the
Commission line such property is connected to such other specified
public sy
