Upon the Council ordering the construction of any sidewalks or curbs, the Clerk or engineer shall immediately give written notice thereof to the holder of the record title of the premises along which such sidewalks or curbs are to be constructed. Service of such notice must be made by letter, addressed to such owner at his last known place of residence and deposited in the United States Post Office in this City, with postage prepaid thereon, and by publication thereof once a week for a period of four (4) consecutive weeks in a paper published in the City.
If service of such notice be made by publication, all sidewalks and curbs ordered constructed by the Council on the same date may be included in one notice, and such notice, when published, shall not be directed to any person but shall be entitled "Notice To Construct Sidewalks And Curbs".
Such notice shall refer to the order of the Council ordering the construction of such sidewalk and curb and shall fully describe the termins, cavice, length, width and character of the sidewalk or curb ordered constructed, designating the name of the street along which and the number of the lots and blocks in front of or along which such sidewalk or curb has been ordered constructed, and said notice shall state that if the holder of the second title of the property in front of or along which such sidewalk or curb has been ordered constructed shall fail, neglect or refuse to construct such sidewalk or curb for a period of thirty (30) days from and after the date of the first publication of such notice, if service thereof be made by publication, or for a period of thirty (30) days from and after the date of mailing of such notice if service of such notice shall be made by mail, such sidewalk or curb will be constructed by the sidewalk or curb contractor and the cost of the construction of the same, together with all the expenses connected therewith, will be assessed against the premises in front of or along which the same has been ordered constructed and will become a lien thereon.
Copies of all notices mailed with the registry receipts attached thereto, and copies of all notices published with the publisher's affidavit of publication attached thereto, shall be by the engineer filed in his office and shall be conclusive proof of the service thereof. (Ord. 422, 3-30-1950)
