At the hearing all such objections and protests shall be heard and considered. If at the hearing it appears that owners of more than one-half of the area of land included within the proposed District and subject to assessment have made objection in writing to the doing of the things proposed to be done as an entirety, and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the same to less than a majority, the Council, by a resolution entered upon its minutes, shall so find. Thereafter the Council shall not proceed further under the Ordinance of Intention, and the proceeding is terminated. If the proceeding is terminated by a majority protest, no subsequent proceeding under this article for the formation of the same, or substantially the same, District shall be commenced within six (6) months thereafter, except upon a petition signed by the owners of a majority in area of the taxable land in the District. If the owners of more than one-half of the area of the property included within the District and subject to assessment have not made written objections or protests to the things proposed to be done as an entirety, the Council may so find orally or otherwise and may proceed with the hearing. The hearing may be continued from time to time by order entered on the minutes.
