[Ord. 387-80, --/--/----, § 101]
The Board of Commissioners is hereby authorized to direct that
streets or highways or parts thereof, or a particular width or additional
widths thereof, be graded, curbed, recurbed, guttered, paved, repaired,
macadamized or otherwise improved, and that surface water or storm
sewer drainage systems be installed therein. All streets, highways,
alleys and thoroughfares in the Township shall be paved to the minimum
width from time to time as the Board of Commissioners may direct.
[Ord. 387-80, --/--/----, § 102]
The Commissioners of the Township of East Pennsboro are hereby
authorized to enter into a contract or contracts in the name of the
Township for the whole or any part of the said work, or for materials
or labor connected therewith, with such party or parties and upon
such terms as the Commissioners may determine or agree upon.
[Ord. 387-80, --/--/----, § 103]
Any trees, pipes or other materials interfering with the free
and full construction of the said work are hereby declared to be a

[Ord. 387-80, --/--/----, § 104]
The Board of Commissioners may assess and collect the whole cost of the work authorized in § 21-101 of this Part, or any part thereof, from the owners of real estate abutting on the improvements by an equal assessment on the front foot. The Board of Commissioners may make equitable adjustments for corner lots or lots of irregular shape, where an assessment for full frontage would be unjust.
[Ord. 387-80, --/--/----, § 105]
The Secretary of the Township shall cause 30 days' notice
of the assessment to be given to each party assessed, either by service
on the owner or agent, or by leaving the notice on the assessed premises.
[Ord. 387-80, --/--/----, § 106]
Any assessments authorized under this Part shall be paid either
in full, within 60 days after notice of such assessment shall have
been given the party assessed, or in four equal semi-annual installments,
the first of which shall be due and payable within 60 days after such
notice, and the remainder of which shall be due and payable at six
months intervals thereafter. Such installments shall bear interest
at the rate of 6% per annum, commencing upon the date of completion
of the improvement. Whenever an assessment is not paid in full within
60 days after notice thereof has been given, a lien to secure the
payment of the assessment and interest shall be timely filed in the
Prothonotary's office of Cumberland County.
[Ord. 387-80, --/--/----, § 107]
In case of default in the payment of any installment and interest
for a period of 60 days after the same shall become due, the entire
assessment and accrued interest shall become due, and the Township
Solicitor shall proceed to collect the same under the general laws
relating to the collection of municipal claims.
