§ 6-622 Pavements. The board of trustees may cause a street in the
village or a part thereof, to be graded and paved or repaved wholly at
the expense of the village, or wholly at the expense of the owners of
the adjoining land or partly at the expense of each. If the street or
part thereof is wholly within the village, but the exterior line thereof
constitutes the village boundary, such improvements may be made as to
the part of such street within the village either wholly at the expense
of the village or wholly at the expense of the owners of adjoining land
within and without the village or partly at the expense of each. Before
any such street or portion thereof is graded or paved, wholly or partly
at the expense of the owners of the adjoining land, a hearing shall be
held and notice thereof given as hereinbefore provided for. If such
expense, or any part thereof, is to be assessed upon adjoining land, the
board of trustees may apportion it upon the lands and assess the same as
a whole or by installments. Provided, however, where a street is so
improved wholly at the expense of the owners of the adjoining land, the
cost thereof shall be assessed in proportion, as nearly as may be, to
the benefit which each lot or parcel will derive therefrom.
