Whenever assessments of benefits for any public work or improvement have been lawfully made by any city or borough and such public work or improvement has been completed and certificates of lien have been signed by the duly constituted authorities, describing the premises upon which any such lien is claimed and stating the amount claimed as a lien thereon, and have been lodged with the town clerk, such assessments of benefits shall be and remain a lien upon the land upon which the same have been made, and no such city or borough shall be required to lodge for record any further certificate of any such lien. Such liens may be foreclosed in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of tax liens.
