Where the legality of the organization of any township water district is questioned upon the ground that such water district was never laid off by metes and bounds by the township committee, and the collection of taxes for water purposes assessed and levied in any such water district is resisted upon that ground by twenty or more persons upon whose real or personal estate any such taxes have been assessed and levied, and no evidence or recital of the laying off of any such water district appears upon the records of such township, the township committee, upon the written application for such action by said twenty or more persons, may abate and remit all such taxes not paid and may authorize in writing the township collector to refund to the several persons who have paid the same all of such taxes in his hands, and upon such written authority such township collector shall refund to the several persons who have paid the same all of such taxes in his hands.
