    §   120-g.  Apportionment  of  cost.  Before  any  such  contract  for
  construction mentioned in section one hundred and twenty-c shall  become
  effective, such local authorities shall determine the part or proportion
  of  the  annual  cost  thereof, if any, which is to be assessed upon the
  property benefited thereby, and the method of such assessment, and shall
  provide that any part thereof not actually paid out of  such  assessment
  shall be paid by such city, town, village or sewer district at large. In
  the  case  of  a  town,  the  petition  for  the  creation of such sewer
  district, or supplemental petition, shall request  the  construction  of
  such  sewer  system,  extension or part thereof, as herein provided, and
  such petition shall comply in form,  substance  and  in  the  manner  of
  execution,  so far as applicable thereto, to the requirements of section
  two hundred and thirty of the town law, except that it  may  state  that
  the annual sum or rental to be paid for the use of said plant or for the
  removal  of sewage as herein provided shall be fixed and assessed in the
  first instance for the full period  named  in  any  such  contract,  not
  exceeding  thirty years, and that any part thereof not actually paid out
  of such assessment may be reassessed upon the property in such district.
  Before acting on any such petition, the town board shall give the notice
  provided in section two hundred and thirty-a of the town  law,  and  the
  assessment  shall  be  made  in  form and substance so far as applicable
  thereto as provided in section two hundred and thirty-seven of said law.
