(70 ILCS 2605/13) (from Ch. 42, par. 333)
Sec. 13.
The board of trustees has power to defray the expenses of any
improvement made by it in the execution of the powers hereby granted to
such incorporation, 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 incorporation, 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, shall be the same, as nearly as may be, as is prescribed by
Article 9, Division 2, or Article 9, Division 3, of the "Illinois Municipal
Code", approved May 29, 1961, subject to any restrictions appearing in such
divisions. However, once an improvement is begun under the procedures of
one of these Divisions it must be completed pursuant to the procedure of
that Division. Whenever in the referred to Act the words "city council" or
"corporate authorities" are used, the same shall apply to the board of
trustees constituted by this Act, and the words applying to the
municipality or its officers in that Article shall be held to apply to the
corporation hereby created and to its officers.
