In addition to the method provided for paving streets, by Section sixty-one of the Charter of the City of Dunbar, the Council may order any block, street, avenue, or alley, or portion thereof, to be paved or otherwise permanently improved, and the Council may order the Mayor and City Clerk to issue to the contractor doing the paving, or other permanent improvement, a certificate for each installment of the amount of the assessment to be paid by the owner of any lot or fractional part thereof fronting on such street, avenue or alley, and the amount specified in said assessment certificate shall be a lien as aforesaid in the hands of the holder thereof upon the lot or part of a lot fronting on such street, avenue or alley and such certificate shall draw interest from the date of said assessment and the payment may be enforced in the name of the holder of said certificate by proper suit in equity in any court having proper jurisdiction to enforce such lien, and the Council shall fix the amount of such assessment, advertise for bids and do all things in connection therewith as is provided for paving or permanently improving any street or alley or portion thereof in Section sixty-one except that in fixing the amount of assessments the cost of paving the street intersections shall be included and the proportionate part thereof shall be assessed against each lot owner; provided, that the cost of not more than one intersection shall be assessed against the lots situated between any two cross streets; and such certificates shall be issued in the same number of installments and payable at the same time as other paving or permanent improvements are provided to be paid for and shall be a lien in the hands of the holder thereof upon the particular lot against which they are assessed in the same way and manner as provided for assessments made under Section sixty-one of said Charter; and nothing contained in this Charter or in any general law shall be construed as imposing a time limit upon the enforcement by appropriate suit of a lien for public improvements made hereunder; and, provided, further, that no error in the publication of any notice required hereunder shall in any way affect the validity of the certificates herein provided for.
Such certificates as may be issued pursuant to the foregoing section shall contain a provision to the effect that in the event of default in the payment of any one of said certificates, when due and such default shall continue for a period of sixty days, then all unpaid certificates shall become due and payable and the holder of said certificates may proceed to collect all of such unpaid certificates in the manner hereinbefore provided.
Provided, that no street, avenue or alley shall be paved or otherwise permanently improved pursuant to this section except and unless two-thirds of all the members elected to Council shall concur therein.
