The tax shall be apportioned to and levied on each tract of land or other property in said district in proportion to the benefits assessed and not in excess thereof.
2.

The tax levied under this paragraph shall be apportioned to and levied on each tract of land or other property in said district in proportion to the benefits assessed.
3. In case bonds are issued as provided herein and hereafter, then the amount of the interest, as estimated by said board of supervisors, which will accrue on such bonds shall be included and added to the tax levied under either paragraph 1 or 2 of this section, but the interest to accrue on account of the issuing of said bonds shall not be construed as a part of the costs of construction in determining whether or not the expenses and costs of making said improvements are or are not equal to or in excess of the benefits assessed.
4. The secretary of the board of supervisors, as soon as and whenever said total tax is levied, shall, at the expense of the district, prepare a list of all taxes levied, in the form of a well-bound book, which book shall be endorsed and named "Drainage Tax Record of ______ Drainage District ______", which endorsement shall also be printed or written at the top of each page in said book, and shall be signed and certified by the president and secretary of the board of supervisors, attested by the seal of the district, and the same shall thereafter become a permanent record in the office of said secretary.
