 SECTION 2. That said assessments, together with all interest and penalties for default in payment thereof, and all costs in collecting same, shall from the time of final publication of this ordinance constitute a perpetual lien, against each lot or tract of land herein described, on a parity with the tax lien for General, State County, City and School taxes, and no sale of such property to enforce any General, State, County, City or School tax or other lien shall extinguish the perpetual lien of such assessments.

 

 SECTION 3. That said assessments shall be due and payable within thirty days after the final publication of this ordinance without demand; provided that all such assessments may at the election of the owner, be paid in installments with interest as hereinafter provided. Failure to pay the whole assessment within the said period of thirty days shall be conclusively considered and held an election on the part of all persons interested, whether under disability or otherwise, to pay in such installments. All persons so electing to pay in installments shall be conclusively considered and held as consenting to said improvements, and such election shall be conclusively considered and held as a waiver of any and all rights to question the power and jurisdiction of the City to construct the improvements, the quality of the work, and the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings, or the validity or correctness of the assessment.

 

 SECTION 4. That in case of such election to pay in installments the assessments shall be payable in ten equal annual installments of the principal, with interest upon unpaid installments payable annually at the rate of three per cent per annum. The first of said installments of said principal shall be due on the 28th day of February, 1942; shall be payable on or before said day, and the remainder of said installments shall be due on the 28th day of February of each year thereafter until all of said installments are paid in full.

 

 SECTION 5. That the failure to pay any installments whether of principal or interest, as herein provided, when due, shall cause the whole unpaid principal to become due and payable immediately and the whole amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest shall thereafter draw interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum until the day of sale, as by law provided, but at any time prior to the day of sale, the owner may pay the amount of such delinquent installment or installments, with interest at eight per cent per annum as aforesaid, and all penalties accrued, and shall thereupon be restored to the right thereafter to pay in installments in the same manner as if default had not been suffered. The owner of any piece of real estate not in default as to any installment, may at any time pay the whole of the unpaid principal, with interest accrued.

 

 SECTION 6. That payment may be made to the City Treasurer at any time within thirty days after the final publication of this ordinance, and an allowance of the two per cent added for cost of collection and other incidentals and of interest from the date of payment to the 28th day of February, A. D. 1942, shall be made on all payments made during said period of thirty days.

 

 SECTION 7. That all provisions of Ordinance No. 178 of the City of Grand Junction, as amended, shall govern and be taken to be a part of this ordinance with respect to the creation of said Paving and Sidewalk District No. 47, the construction of the improvements therein, the apportionment and assessment of the cost thereof and the collection of such assessments.
