(b) For the purpose of ascertaining the costs of any such construction work, the board shall cause surveys, examinations, and plans to be made as shall demonstrate the practicability of such plan and furnish the proper basis for an estimate of the cost of carrying out the same. All such surveys, examinations, maps, plans and estimates shall be made under the direction of a competent irrigation engineer and certified by him. The board shall then submit a copy of the same to the chief engineer for his approval. Upon receiving the approval thereof by the chief engineer, as submitted or with limitations or as modified, amended or supplemented, the board shall determine the amount of money required to be raised.
