Section 12. It shall cause to be made annually and entered upon
its journal an accurate estimate of all sums of money which shall or
may become lawfully charged to said town and which ought to be paid
within one year; and it shall order an annual levy for so much of said
money as in its discretion shall be sufficient to meet said demands, and
in making said levy, the council is authorized to include in such levy
a charge for building and operating its sewer system and for the
operation only of its water and light systems. Such levy for sewer
shall constitute a lien upon the real estate serviced thereby and shall
be collected as other levies. And if there is a failure to pay such sewer
levy when due and payable, according to the time which shall be fixed
by the council, then such levy shall be returned delinquent as other
property and shall thereafter be reported to the town council when
directed by said body and when approved, shall be duly recorded in the
clerk’s office of Prince Edward county.

be known as town manager, whose duties shall be to give general
supervision over the electric light and power plant, water works, sewer,
streets, ground, buildings, cemeteries and other property belonging to
the town and do such other things as the council may direct or the
necessities of the town require, whether said duties may be specifically
mentioned herein or not.

but all such articles shall be turned over by him, together with all maps,
plans, estimates and papers pertaining to his office, to his successor,
who shall in like manner hold the same as the property of the town.
