If any such owner shall neglect or refuse, or shall have failed after notice has been given as provided in this article, to construct, reconstruct, or repair any sidewalk within the time limited in the notice given in such case, and whose duty it is made by this article to construct, reconstruct, or repair such sidewalk, the City Manager shall proceed at once without further notice to such owner or person to have such sidewalk constructed, reconstructed, or repaired, as the case may be, and the expense of such work shall be assessed to such lot or piece of land, and collected as provided by law. Provided, nothing in this article shall be construed to limit the power of the city to construct, reconstruct, or repair sidewalks and, as the case may be, assess the cost thereof, all in a manner authorized in statutes of the state which do not require, as a condition precedent to the doing of the work by the city and assessment of the cost thereof, a notice to abutting landowners to do the work.
