for any public work or improvement have been lawfully made by any city or borough
and such public work or improvement has been completed and certificates of lien have
been signed by the duly constituted authorities, describing the premises upon which any
such lien is claimed and stating the amount claimed as a lien thereon, and have been
lodged with the town clerk, such assessments of benefits shall be and remain a lien upon
the land upon which the same have been made, and no such city or borough shall be
required to lodge for record any further certificate of any such lien. Such liens may be
foreclosed in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of tax liens.(1949 Rev., S. 688.)
