protests on the improvement.
A. Protests which have been filed in accordance with Section
36-204 of this title shall be heard and considered at the hearing on
the proposed improvement. The hearing may be continued from time to
time so that all protestants may be heard.
B. The findings of the governing body as to the sufficiency or
insufficiency of any protest shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes and against all persons. At any hearing on such protests,
the governing body may compel the attendance of witnesses under oath
to determine the sufficiency thereof, and no action or suit to

the protests shall be commenced later than fifteen (15) days after

public places, or parts thereof, to be improved may be included in

purpose of protest, disconnected parts of the same street shall be
treated as separate streets.

or part thereof, has been protested by the owners of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the land liable to assessment for the improvement,
the municipal governing body shall not include the same in

such streets, avenues, lanes, alleys or public places, or parts
thereof, the same shall be eliminated from the proceedings, but the

parts thereof, as to which sufficient protests have not been filed
shall not be affected thereby.
