(5) Where the corporation of a county borough or the council of a county has determined to carry into execution a scheme under this section, such corporation or council shall carry into execution such scheme accordingly, and for that purpose they shall publish such scheme in such manner as appears to them to be best calculated to bring the provisions thereof to the notice of the persons intended to be benefited thereby.
|
|
| |

|
|
| |
