At the time set for hearing protests, the Council shall proceed to hear and pass upon all protests so made as required by § 98.52 of this subchapter and its decision shall be final and conclusive. The Council may adjourn the hearings from time to time. Any such protest may be withdrawn by the owner making the same, in writing, at any time prior to the conclusion of such protest hearing or any such adjournment thereof. If protests are made against the proposed work, no further proceedings shall be taken for a period of six months from the date of decision of the Council on the hearing unless the Council, by no less than a four-fifths vote of all members thereof, shall overrule such protests and find and determine that the public convenience and necessity require such improvements.
