be paid by a special assessment upon all those properties benefited.
The Town Council shall be responsible for determining the total cost
of the project and the full amount to be assessed on each property.
The assessment established by this article shall create a lien
upon the land on account of which it is made.

or portion thereof made by it. Applications for abatements shall be
made in writing.
