purchased or established as aforesaid, and to fix     an

annual assessment on all properties, improved     or

unimproved, binding upon a street, road, land, alley     or

right—of—way in which a water main sewer or drain   has
been built.]

[(b) The annual assessment based on the
Commission's fiscal year shall be made upon the front
foot basis and the first payment shall be collected
during the year which the construction is completed on
the water supply, sewerage or drainage systems, or in
which the systems are purchased or acquired. The
Commission for the purpose of assessing debt service
charges shall divide all properties binding upon a
street, road, lane, alley or right—of—way, in which a
water pipe or sanitary sewer is to he laid, into four
classes, namely: Agricultural, small acreage, industrial
or business, and subdivision property, and the Commission
may subdivide each of the classes in the manner it may
deem to be in the public interest, whenever any water
supply or sewerage project in the sanitary district or
sanitary districts is available for service the
Commission shall fix and levy a debt service charge for
the remainder of the fiscal year on a pro rata basis upon
all property in said sanitary district abutting upon said
water main or sewer or otherwise served by the water
supply, sewerage or drainage systems or a part thereof in
accordance with the classification or subdivision
thereof, and shall in writing, notify all owners of said
properties into which class and subdivision their
respective properties fall and the charge determined
upon, naming also in said notice a time and place, when
and at which time said owner will be heard. The notice
may be mailed to the last known address of the owner, or
served in person upon any adult occupying the premises or
in case of a vacant or unimproved property posted upon
the premises.]

[(c) The classification of and the debt service
charge assessed against any property as made by the
Commission shall be final, subject only to revision at a
hearing. The Commission may change the classification of
property from time to time as said properties change in
the uses to which they are put. The charges shall be
levied for both water supply and sewerage construction
and when made upon the front foot basis 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 pipe or sewer is placed;
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 subdivision property shall be assessed
on more than one side, unless the lot abuts upon two
parallel streets, that corner lots may be averaged and
