Upon such petition and prior to the hearing thereon, the Council shall, at its option, have the power to abandon the proceedings or make any change or modification of the plans or the details or specifications for the proposed improvements without the written consent of the petitioning owners of the frontage or area of the land to be assessed. With regard to the petition, the Council may at any time decline to acquiesce in or may modify any part of the plan which contemplates the payment by the County of any part of the cost of acquiring new land or of any part of the cost of improving any main or general thoroughfare. Upon receipt of the petition, the Council shall by resolution requiring not more than one reading for its adoption, direct the Chief Engineer, Department of Public Works, to investigate and report to the Council preliminary data concerning the special improvements proposed to be opened, constructed, or improved, the general character and extent of any improvement to be proposed, whether such improvements should be proposed on a frontage or an area basis , -3- whether any new land will be necessary to be acquired, and the estimated cost thereof and the proportion of the cost which should be borne by the County, the materials recommended to meet the conditions of the improvement, the boundaries of the improvement to be proposed and any subdistricts or zones therein as to which different portions of the cost should be charged, the estimated cost of the improvement, the portions of the cost to be borne by the County, and the portions of the cost to be specifically assessed against the lands specially benefitted with the maximum unit of assessment to be made against the property posed, and to prepare and furnish all necessary drawings and other data, details, and specifications for the improvements and any other matters or details intended to apply thereto. The report, when so furnished and filed with the Council, shall not be acted upon until one week has elapsed from the date of the filing of the same. But if the proposed improvement includes the construction or improvement of the water system or the laying or installation of conduits , pipes , hydrants , or any appliance for supplying or distributing a water supply, the Chief Engineer shall obtain from the Department of Water Supply preliminary plans and estimates for such proposed water system and the engineer shall furnish the Department of Water Supply with such preliminary plans of the proposed improvement as will enable the Department of Water Supply to make its plans and estimates for the proposed water system.

Like notices shall be posted conspicuously at least 10 days prior to the hearing approximately every 250 feet along the highway or highways proposed to be opened or improved.

"Should 51 per cent or more of the owners of the land affected by the improvement district fail to object prior to or at the hearing, the proposed improvement by assessment shall be approved by Council passing a resolution requiring one reading for its adoption, provided, however, that no such improvement shall be approved unless : (1) the assessed valuation for taxation purposes of the land to be improved is twice the estimated cost of the proposed improvement, or (2) the Council by resolution finds the appraised value of such land in -7- accordance with prevailing standards of appraisal and used by banks for loans thereon is twice the estimated cost of the proposed improvement and that such approval is in the public interest.
