In any case in which an assessment of benefits has been made upon any land by any city or borough to defray the cost, or any part thereof, of any public work or improvement, and the owner or owners of such land have not been properly named or designated in the schedule, report or notice forming any part of the proceedings for the laying of such assessment, such city or borough may cause a notice signed by its clerk, describing the land assessed and stating the amount of the assessment thereon, to be left with or at the usual place of abode of the owner or owners of such land, if within the town in which such city or borough is located.
If such owner or owners do not reside within such town, such notice shall be published at least twice consecutively in a newspaper having a general circulation in such city or borough and a copy of such notice shall be mailed to such owner or owners at the last- known address of such owner or owners. Upon the completion of such notice, such city or borough may proceed to collect such assessment in the manner provided by law.
