(Sp. Laws 1913, No. 352, § 137.)
The Council is hereby authorized to lay out, construct, maintain, and repair sewers and drains through and along streets and highways and through public and private grounds in said city, and in all such cases, except where sewers or drains are laid through private grounds, to assess the expense thereof, or such part thereof as said Council may deem reasonable, upon the property abutting upon the streets and highways through which such sewers or drains are laid and which may be benefited thereby, and in proportion to the benefits by such property received therefrom, subject to the same notice, manner of assessment, and appeal therefrom as is provided in §§ 1-439 and 1-440, concerning highways. Whenever said Council shall propose a layout, or cause to be laid out, a drain or sewer in said city, wholly or in part through or across private lands, it shall proceed in the manner provided in § 1-439 in case of layout of highways, both as to the layout of such sewer or drain and the assessment of damages and benefits resulting therefrom. Any person aggrieved by any estimate of damages or benefits made under the provisions of this section may appeal to any Judge of the Superior Court as provided in § 1-440 of this act.
(Sp. Laws 1913, No. 352, § 138.)
The Council is authorized, whenever in its opinion the public
health of said city shall require, to compel the owners of property
abutting on any street or highway wherein a public sewer is laid to
connect any and all buildings on such property with such public sewer,
and when any order is made by said Council requiring such owner to
connect his building or buildings with such sewer, the Clerk of said
city, if the owner is a resident of said city, shall make service
of said order upon such owner by leaving with him or at his usual
place of abode a true copy thereof, but if such owner is not a resident
of said city service of said order shall be made upon him by said
Clerk by leaving a true copy thereof with the agent of said owner
or the person in charge of said premises; and in case such owner shall
neglect or refuse to connect his said building or buildings with such
sewer within the time limited therefor by said order he shall be fined
$100.
