manner provided by law for the alteration and vacation of such streets
and alleys in cities and towns, the council thereof shall exercise the
same powers as are granted to and vested in the board of supervisors
of the counties by general law in relation to the discontinuance of
county roads and landings; which shall be in addition to the powers
contained in the charter of any city or town and any powers now had
by such councils under the common law or by statute; provided, how-
ever, that the notice required to be posted by section nineteen hundred
and eighty-four of the Code may be posted on the first day of the term
of either the circuit, corporation, or hustings court, at the courthouse
thereof, and at two public places in the city or town at least five days
before the council appoint the viewers; and the appeal, if any, shall be
to the court before whose front door said notice is posted.
