The cost of the improvements, including all publication costs, legal fees, engineering fees and expenses, shall be paid by the subdivider or developer. After the above-mentioned plans, profiles and specifications are submitted for review, the Commission shall have prepared an estimate of the cost of checking the drawings and field inspection, and the subdivider shall thereupon deposit with the Commission an amount of money equal to the estimated cost. All work done in connection with checking, computing and correcting such plans for improvements and installations and in connection with field inspection of the construction thereof shall be charged to such deposit. If, during the progress of work, it appears that the cost thereof will exceed the amount so deposited, no further work in connection with such review or field inspection shall be done until the subdivider has deposited with the Commission the additional amount of money necessary to cover the cost of the work. Upon completion of the work of checking plans and inspecting the construction or improvements and installations, the Commission shall have prepared a final statement of the amount of the fees charged against the deposits, and it shall thereupon refund to the subdivider any unexpended balance of such deposits. If such fees for any reason exceed the amount of the deposit, the Commission shall collect the balance due and shall issue a statement that such charges have been paid.
