(70 ILCS 2405/22a.13) (from Ch. 42, par. 317d.14)
Sec. 22a.13.
Apportionment of cost.
The officer
specified in Section 22a.12 shall estimate what portion of
the total cost of such improvement will be of benefit to the
public and what proportion thereof will be of benefit to the
property to be benefited, and he shall apportion the total
cost between the district and that property so that each
will bear its relative equitable proportion. Having found
these amounts, such officer shall apportion and assess the
amount so found to be of benefit to the property upon the
several lots, blocks, tracts and parcels of land in the
proportion in which they will be severally benefited by the
improvement. No lot, block, tract or parcel of land shall
be assessed a greater amount than it will be actually
benefited. When the proposed improvement is for the
construction of a sewer, it is the duty of such officer to
investigate and report the district which will be benefited
by the proposed sewer, describing the district by boundaries.
Where the improvement is to be constructed with aid
from any agency of the federal government, or other
governmental agency, the proportion of the total cost of the
improvement to be raised by the district in addition to such
aid shall be the amount allocated between public benefits
and benefits of the property affected as above provided.
