Sec. 121. A sum of money assessed for the improvement of a street
cannot be collected until by order of the Council notice thereof Is given
by the Recorder by publication in three consecutive Issues of a newspaper

contain the matter required to be entered in the Docket of City Liens con
cerning such assessment.
Sec. 122. If, within ten days from the final publication of the notice
prescribed in Section 121, the sum assessed upon any lot or part thereof
Is not wholly paid to the Treasurer, and a duplicate receipt therefor filed
with the Recorder, the Council may thereafter order a warrant for the
collection of the sum to be issued by the Recorder, directed to the Marshal
or other person authorized to collect taxes due the City.
Sec. 123. Such warrant must require the person to whom directed to
forthwith levy upon the lot or part thereof on which the assessment ia

amount of any tax or assessment which the purchaser may have paid upon
the property.
Sec. 127. A redemption discharges the property from the effect of rhe
sale for the assessment. If made by the owner, or his successor In interest,
the estate in the property is thereby restored to such owner or his suc
cessor in interest, as the case may be, but if made by a lien creditor, the
amount paid for the redemption is thereafter deemed a part of the Judg
ment, decree or mortgage, as the case may be, and shall bear like interest

said cost only as the Council shall have found the same to be benefited
thereby, and the further cost of making said Improvement in excess of the
benefit bo found shall he paid by owners of property not immediately abut
ting on said improvement, but situated within the district adjudged by the
Council to have been specially benefited thereby; or the Council may pay
same out of the general fund of the City, provided the Council shall have
power to determine what shall constitute a "lot," or a part of a "lot," as the
terms are used in this article; and provided, further, should a street be
Improved abutting on lands not laid off into lots and blocks, such lands
charged as abutting on said improvement shall be liable for the cost of
6uch improvements only to the depth of one hundred feet, and the term
"street," as used in this chapter, shall include all legally established roads

out In blocks, the proportionate cost of the improvement of such intersection
shall be assessed to the owner or owners of such land as lieB within one
