be removed and such nuisance or nuisances created thereby abated by the City
authorities, in which case the costs of such destruction and/or removal will be assessed
upon the lots and lands from which, or from the front or rear of which such weeds and
accumulation of refuse, have been destroyed or removed; and such costs will constitute
a lien upon such lots or lands until paid and will be collected upon the next tax roll upon
