(70 ILCS 2805/58) (from Ch. 42, par. 447.22)
Sec. 58.
Review of assessment roll by the court.
Upon written objections or motions for that purpose the
court in which the specified proceeding is pending may
inquire in a summary way whether the officer making the
report has omitted any property benefited and whether or not
the assessment as made and returned is an equitable and just
distribution of the cost of the improvement, first, between
the public and the property, and second, among the parcels
of property assessed. The court has the power on such
application being made to revise and correct the assessments
levied, to change or modify the distribution of the total
cost between the public and property benefited, to change
the manner of distribution among the parcels of private
property and to strike out of the roll of awards by the
commissioners filed in the case the amount or amounts shown
as compensation for property which property has been
theretofore donated by any person or persons for the making
of the proposed improvement so as to produce a just and
equitable assessment, considering the nature of the property
assessed and its capacity for immediate use of the
improvement when completed.
The court may either make such corrections or changes,
or determine in general the manner in which the corrections
or changes shall be made and refer the assessment roll to
the officer making the assessment or the district's attorney
for revision, correction or alteration in such manner as the
court may determine. The determination of the court as to
the correctness of the distribution of the cost of the
improvement between the public and the property to be
assessed is appealable as in other civil cases.
