(b) The proposed resolution shall be published at least five (5) times in a daily newspaper of general circulation within the city or town, or in a weekly newspaper in four (4) issues, and written notice thereof shall be served upon the owner or owners, or agents of the abutting property. The first publication of the resolution shall be made and the written notices served not less than thirty (30) days before the date set for hearing objections.

(c) Any owner or agent of any lot or parcel of land or property to be assessed within the district may appear in person or by counsel at the hearing and show cause, if any, why the district should not be created and lights installed and maintained as provided in this article. If objections are made to the creation of the district by owners or agents representing more than one-half (1/2) of the total number of lineal feet frontage of all the property which would be assessed to defray the cost of the installation, the district shall not be created. Not less than six (6) months thereafter a resolution for the same or similar purpose covering the same territory may again be considered after notice and proceedings as provided for consideration of the original resolution. If sufficient objections are not made, a majority of members of the governing body voting in its favor shall adopt the resolution.

(d) The governing body, by contract, may procure and erect the posts required for the maintenance of the lights or require the street commissioner or other official of the city or town to do so in the manner in which the governing body provides. When the posts have been installed the governing body shall provide for the maintenance of the lights and pay the expense of the maintenance. All posts shall be of uniform size and character and be distributed uniformly upon the street or avenue or section thereof to be lighted.
