2. In case the proceeds of the taxes levied as provided in this chapter are not sufficient to construct the improvements as described in the report of the viewers and engineer as confirmed by the county commission, then the county commission shall make, certify and provide for the collection of such additional tax levies as are necessary to complete the improvement; provided, however, that the aggregate of all such levies, exclusive of taxes levied for interest on bonds, does not exceed the total benefits assessed and confirmed.

The commission shall levy, certify and provide for the collection of said taxes as provided in this chapter and shall apportion the same to the lands or other property in proportion to the original assessment of benefits, but not in excess thereof, and if in excess thereof then in such proportion as will not, with other lawful tax levies, made and collected be in excess of the benefits reported by the viewers and confirmed by the county commission.
