Such board shall  annually  compute   the  amount  necessary  to  pay  such  principal and interest due and to   become due during the fiscal year and apportion and assess the same upon   such lands in proportion as nearly as may be to the benefit  which  each   parcel  thereof  will  derive  from  the  construction  of such sewerage   system. After making such apportionment such board shall give notice  of   the  completion thereof and that at a specified time and place a hearing   will be held to consider and review the same. Such board shall  meet  at   the   time   and   place  so  specified  and  hear  objections  to  such   apportionment and modify, correct and file the same in the office of the   village clerk whereupon the same shall be deemed  final  and  conclusive   unless,  within  fifteen  days, an appeal is taken therefrom. Such board   may cause any amount so assessed upon any such parcel to be collected in   the manner provided by law for the collection of assessments  for  local   improvement  or cause the same to be included in an annual tax levy upon   such parcel. An assessment heretofore made as provided herein  shall  be   deemed valid for all purposes.Where lateral sewers are constructed at the expense of the village and   property  benefited,  as  an addition to the sewerage system constructed   with federal aid, special assessments may be levied  for  such  laterals   from  year  to  year  and  the  cost  thereof apportioned as though said   laterals  had  constituted  a  part  of  the  original  sewerage  system   constructed with federal aid. Nothing contained in this section shall be   construed to prevent the financing of such expense, in whole or in part,   pursuant to the local finance law.
