§ 135-8. Petition for improvements
On a petition for improvements signed by owners of two-thirds of the frontage involved and approved at a town meeting duly warned for that purpose, the selectboard, if it deems it for the best interest of the town, may lay or construct along any of the streets or highways of the town the improvements described in the petition and warning. The selectboard shall hear interested parties by giving them 12 days' written notice of the time and place of hearing, and if it finds that benefit will result to the owners of at least two-thirds of the frontage actually affected by the improvements requested, and that the cost will not be disproportionate to the amount of benefits reasonably to be expected therefrom, it shall grant the petition. The taxpayers owning the frontage involved shall be subject to a tax proportionate to their frontage to be assessed annually by the selectboard of the town of Proctor in an amount sufficient to pay off indebtedness for the improvements according to its te
rms.
