Section 149 How expences are to be recovered from owner.

If the owner of any buildings or lands made liable by this or the special Act for the repayment to the commissioners of any expences incurred by them do not, as soon as the same become due and payable from him, repay all such expences to the commissioners, the commissioners may recover the same from such owner in the same manner as damages, or in an action of debt in any of the superior courts, or in any other court having jurisdiction.
