1. The rate of assessment per square foot [0.09 square meter] in each subdivision of an
improvement district shall be fixed on the basis that the special benefits conferred on a
square foot [0.09 square meter] of land in subdivisions first, second, third, fourth, and
fifth, respectively, are related to each other as are the numbers forty-five, twenty-five,
twenty, ten, and five, respectively, and shall be ascertained in the following manner:
a. The products of the number of square feet [0.09 square meter] in subdivisions
first, second, third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, and the numbers forty-five,
twenty-five, twenty, ten, and five, respectively, shall be ascertained;
b. The aggregate sum thereof shall be divided into the total cost and expense of the
improvement; and
c. The resultant quotient multiplied by forty-five, twenty-five, twenty, ten, and five,
respectively, shall be the respective rate of assessment per square foot [0.09
square meter] for subdivisions first, second, third, fourth, and fifth.
2. Provided, that in lieu of the above formula the rate of assessment per square foot [0.09
square meter] in each subdivision of an improvement district may be fixed on the basis
that the special benefits conferred on a square foot [0.09 square meter] of land in
subdivisions first, second, third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, are related to each other
as the numbers 0.015000, 0.008333, 0.006666, 0.003333, and 0.001666, respectively,
and the method of determining the assessment on each lot, tract, or parcel of land in
the improvement district may be ascertained in the following manner:
a. The products of the number of square feet [0.09 square meter] in subdivisions
first, second, third, fourth, and fifth, respectively, for each lot, tract, or parcel of

land in the improvement district and the numbers 0.015000, 0.008333, 0.006666,
0.003333, and 0.001666, respectively, shall be ascertained. The sum of all such
products for each such lot, tract, or parcel of land shall be the number of
"assessable units of frontage" therein;
b. The rate for each assessable unit of frontage shall be determined by dividing that
portion of the total cost of the improvement representing special benefits by the
aggregate sum of all assessable units of frontage; and
c. The assessment for each lot, tract, or parcel of land in the improvement district
shall be the product of the assessable units of frontage therefor, multiplied by the
rate per assessable unit of frontage.
