In order to equalize the assessments on real estate for the purpose of improving the
streets and sidewalks as hereinbefore provided the city council shall take the total
cost of paving or repaving, together with the total cost of constructing curbs and
gutters, drainage conduits and drainage structures throughout the entire length of
such work within each district, and shall then prorate the cost thereof on the real
estate abutting thereon in proportion to the frontage on the street or sidewalk or
portion thereof so improved, and charge to and assess upon the real estate upon each
side of the street upon which the work is done its pro rata share of the cost of such
improvement made. Immediately upon the completion of the work upon any street or sidewalk
ordered done by the council under the provisions of this article the person in charge
of the work shall make a report in writing to the council showing the cost of paving
or repaving, together with the total cost of constructing or reconstructing curbs
and gutters, drainage conduits and drainage structures throughout the entire length
of the work, with the number of feet frontage of each of such lots. The council, after
receipt of this report, shall cause notice of the assessments against abutting property
on any street or sidewalk in any improvement district or section to be advertised
at least once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks, which notice shall be deemed to
be full and sufficient notice to all property owners abutting on the street or sidewalk.
This notice shall state the time and place when and where such assessments are to
be made and determined, and shall notify all persons interested to appear and show
cause, if any, why such assessment shall not be made. At such time and place the council
shall proceed to prorate the costs of the work and assess the property as above provided;
provided, however, that no assessment against any piece of property improved as herein
allowed shall exceed in amount the enhancement in value of the property by reason
of such improvement.
