If it appears that additional cost to the municipality for plant is likely to be necessary, the commissioners may require the municipality forthwith to cause to be made the assessments, if any, provided for in section 7-219, upon the owners or occupants of the premises to which the gas or electricity applied for is required to be supplied, and the municipality shall at once comply with the request. The commissioners shall then hear all the parties interested, and judge whether, under the circumstances of the case, it is reasonable to require such municipality to furnish gas or electricity in any manner covered by the claims in the appeal. In making their decision, they may take into consideration the extra cost to the municipality, with any other peculiar circumstances of the case, and whether, after the amount of all the other assessments is paid, the extra supply required can be furnished without incurring an expense beyond the appropriation for gas or electrical purposes for that year. Unless it is made to appear that the expense cannot be so met, they may, if they find it reasonable, make an order in which they may define the amount, quality, manner, locality and times of supplying gas or electricity, and may require the municipality to furnish the same to the party applying, as directed in the order, and such municipality shall, without delay, after the payment of the assessments, comply with the order.
