(70 ILCS 2805/28) (from Ch. 42, par. 439)
Sec. 28.
The board of trustees shall have the power to build and construct
and to defray the costs and expenses of the construction of drains, sewers,
or laterals, or drains, and sewers and laterals and other necessary
adjuncts thereto, including pumps and pumping stations, made by it in the
execution or in furtherance of the powers heretofore granted to such
sanitary district by special assessment or by general taxation, or partly
by special assessment and partly by general taxation, as they shall by
ordinance prescribe. It shall constitute no objection to any special
assessment that the improvement for which the same is levied is partly
outside the limits of such sanitary district, but no special assessment
shall be made upon property situated outside of such sanitary district, and
in no case shall any property be assessed more than it will be benefited by
the improvement for which the assessment is levied. The proceedings for
making, levying, collecting and enforcing of any special assessment levied
hereunder, the letting of contracts, performance of the work and all other
matters pertaining to the construction and making of the improvement shall
be the same as nearly as may be as is prescribed in Division 2 of Article 9
of the Illinois Municipal Code, as heretofore and hereafter amended.
Whenever in said Division 2 the words "city council" or the words "board of
local improvements" are used the same shall apply to the board of trustees
constituted by this Act, and the word "mayor" or "president of the board of
local improvement" shall apply to the president of the board of trustees
constituted by this Act, and the words applying to the city or its officers
in that Article shall be held to apply to the sanitary district created
under this Act and its officers.
