Any  interested   person  aggrieved  by  any final determination or order made pursuant to   the provisions of this act, may review the same in the  manner  provided   in  subdivision  two  of  said section one hundred ninety-five. The said   determination or order shall be final and conclusive unless  application   has  been made for review by certiorari within thirty days from the time   of recording thereof.7. Effect  of  section.
