(55 ILCS 5/5-32020) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-32020)
Sec. 5-32020.
Distribution of deficiency.
Whenever, on a hearing by the court or before a jury, the amount of any
assessment is reduced or cancelled, so that there is a deficiency in the
total amount remaining assessed in the proceeding, the court may, in the
same proceeding, distribute this deficiency upon the other property in the
district assessed, in such manner as the court finds just and equitable,
not exceeding, however, the amount such property will be benefited by the
specified improvement.
In case any portion of this deficiency is charged against such property
not represented in court, a new notice, of the same nature as the original
notice, shall be given in like manner as the original notice, to show the
cause why the assessment, as thus increased, should not be confirmed. The
owners of or parties interested in such property have the right to object
in the same form and with the same effect as in case of the original
assessment, and the court has the same power to dispose thereof.
