§ 26-174. Approval of work on improvements; protests.
Latest version.
Before any work shall be done or any public improvement constructed, as authorized
by the preceding provisions of this article, the cost of which is proposed to be assessed
against the property abutting, adjoining or adjacent to the parkway, boulevard or
highway to be laid off, opened, constructed or improved, it shall be the duty of the
county mayor to provide, by order duly entered on the records of such mayor, that
such improvements shall be made, which order shall state the general character of
the improvement, the name, location and terminal points thereof, and the general course
along which it is to be constructed. Notice of the adoption of such order shall be
given by publishing the same three times in some daily newspaper of general circulation
in such county, but it shall not be necessary to set out in full in the notice the
order adopted, but such notice shall name the appropriate cost of such improvement
and also the time and place, not earlier than 20 days from the last date of such publication,
at which the county mayor shall hear remonstrances or protests against the construction
of such improvement. At such meeting, or at a time and place to which the same may
be adjourned, all persons whose property will be affected by such improvement may
appear in person, or by attorney, or by petition and protest against the construction
of the improvement; and after hearing such protests, if any, the county mayor may
confirm, modify, or rescind the order.
