to the duly established grade, the owners of the abutting land shall lay sidewalks

In case of failure to grade and lay sidewalks and set curbs (or any
of these as may be ordered) for 30 days after notice from the Borough Secretary
to the owners of the abutting land, the borough may do or cause the same to
be done and assess the costs thereof upon the land of said owner or owners
in front of or along which said work may be done and materials furnished and
shall secure payment thereof by filing a lien against said land or by suit
