Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checldist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

ment. The village may agree to modify the

(c) Assessment of lien. The total amount of the
bill shall be paid to the village within thirty (30)
days from the date of the bill. Unless payment is

resolution levying such charges, assess against
the property a lien in the amount of the charges
outstanding, or such lesser amount as the village
council shall decide is just and fair. Assessment
of liens levied in this manner shall be filed in the
office of the village clerk and in the public
records of the county as a lien against the
