Wherever, in the judgment of said Mayor and Aldermen, the larger drains or sewers
now existing in said city can be made to subserve the purposes of cross drains or
main trunk outlets for the discharge of the overflow from said primary drains, they
shall be so used, but if the said Mayor and Aldermen shall find that it is inexpedient
or inadvisable to use said existing sewers, or any portion of the overflow from said
primary drains, whether because of the location, grade, structure or want of adaptation
to said purposes of house drainage, it shall be lawful for said Mayor and Aldermen,
and they are hereby further authorized and empowered to lay down and construct on
such lines and cross lines, and through such streets or lanes, or any portion of them
as they may determine upon, such larger cross drains and main trunk outlets as may
be necessary for the reception and transmission of the outflow from said primary drains,
or from any portion of them, immediately receiving the discharges from the premises
abutting along their lines, and when such larger cross drains or main trunk outlets
are used, both as primary drains for the immediate reception of the outflow from the
premises abutting along their lines, and as cross drains or main trunk outlets for
tributary primary drains, so much of their cost as shall be equal to the expense of
constructing primary drains of similar length along the same lines, shall be assessed
upon the owners of the lots abutting along their lines, and the excess of cost of
said larger drains over and above the cost of constructing primary drains of similar
length on the same lines shall be charged to said corporation.
