    187. The Court shall fully examine and consider the necessity and expediency of making such order, and all the objections, if any, which may be alleged against it, and may for that purpose hear the Commis- sioners, and all persons objecting thereto, and examine witnesses upon oath, and if it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Court that it is necessary and expedient to make such order immediately it shall make the same. 188. The Governor shall, if he approve of such order, and within one month after the making thereof, countersign the same as approved, and the Commissioners shall thereupon lay down the sewer or other structure therein described, and keep the same in good and serviceable repair, for which purposes the Commissioners may enter upon any public or private lands, and do all such acts therein as may be necessary, and paying compensation for all damage which they may do. 189. If the Commissioners shall do any damage or injury in laying down such sewer or structure, or keeping the same in repair, any Justice shall, upon the application of the party aggrieved, issue a summons requiring the Commissioners to appear before a Court of Summary Jurisdiction ; and upon proof of any such damage or injury, the Court shall order the Commissioners to pay such sum of money by way of compensation as it may think reasonable and just, together with all the costs of such application and order, but if it appear to the Court that the application is frivolous or unfounded it may order payment to be made by the complainant to the Commissioners of the expenses occasioned by the said complaint. 190. The Commissioners shall, for the purpose of defraying the cost of and relating to any such estimate, notice, and order of the Court, and laying down any such local sewer or other structure, rate and assess to the payment of the amount thereof every person liable to be rated and assessed to the general sanitary purposes rate under this Ordinance in respect of any premises for the conveyance of water, filth, sewage, or other matter for which the said gutter, drain, watercourse, or ditch shall have been used, and every such payment may be either immediate, or by quarterly, half-yearly or annual instalments, or may be distributed over a term of years not exceeding four years, as they shall adjudge to be just and reasonable. 191. Every local rate and assessment shall be made and assessed in the same manner as a general sanitary purposes rate, and unless such local rate and assessment shall be so made and assessed, the same shall be of no force or effect. 192. The Commissioners may, after fourteen days notice left on the premises, levy and collect the amount so assessed in the same manner and with the same remedies in case of default of payment thereof, and with the same right of appeal in the matter of such assessment reserved to the persons assessed as in the case of any general sanitary purposes rate. 193. The expenses of maintaining and repairing, and otherwise relating to every such gutter, drain, watercourse, ditch, sewer, or other structure after the completion thereof shall be defrayed out of the general sanitary purposes rates.
