protests on the improvement.

A. Protests which have been filed in accordance with Section

36-204 of this title shall be heard and considered at the hearing on

the proposed improvement. The hearing may be continued from time to

time so that all protestants may be heard.

B. The findings of the governing body as to the sufficiency or

insufficiency of any protest shall be conclusive and binding for all

purposes and against all persons. At any hearing on such protests,

the governing body may compel the attendance of witnesses under oath

to determine the sufficiency thereof, and no action or suit to

question the findings of the governing body on the sufficiency of

the protests shall be commenced later than fifteen (15) days after

the finding.

C. Any number of streets, avenues, lanes, alleys or other

public places, or parts thereof, to be improved may be included in

the resolution of necessity; but protests or objections shall be

made and considered separately as to each street or way. For the

purpose of protest, disconnected parts of the same street shall be

treated as separate streets.

D. If any street, avenue, lane, alley, or other public place,

or part thereof, has been protested by the owners of more than fifty

percent (50%) of the land liable to assessment for the improvement,

the municipal governing body shall not include the same in

proceedings hereunder for a period of six (6) months except upon

petition by the owners as provided in Section 36-202 of this title.

E. If sufficient protests are filed as to any one or more of

such streets, avenues, lanes, alleys or public places, or parts

thereof, the same shall be eliminated from the proceedings, but the

other streets, avenues, lanes, alleys or other public places, or

parts thereof, as to which sufficient protests have not been filed

shall not be affected thereby.

F. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this section, when

a section of any street or avenue included in the resolution of

necessity does not exceed two (2) blocks, and does not exceed one

thousand (1,000) feet in length and at the ends or limits of the

section to be improved there is paving already constructed on and

along the street or avenue to be improved, the governing body may

cause such improvement to be constructed and to charge the cost

thereof to the property liable for assessment as herein provided

regardless of the number of protests that are filed against the

proposed improvement of such section, street or avenue.
