Power to declare any street a public street subject to objections by the owners

The executive committee may at any time, by notice fixed up in any private street which is not maintainable by the municipality but which is permanently accessible to the public give intimation of its intention to declare the same a public street, and unless within one month next after such notice has been so put up the owner of such street or of greater part thereof lodges objections thereto at the municipal office, the municipality may, by notice in writing put up, in such street, or such part, declare the same to be a public street.

Explanation.-In this section, the expression "private street" means any road, footway, square, court, alley or passage, whether a thoroughfare or not, but which is not a public street.
