• Art. 2: OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION

Text

Unless otherwise provided by said order, such assessment shall
be payable at once; and from the time of the entry of said
order, assessments for construction of new work and additional
assessments and interest thereon, shall be a lien upon the lands
assessed, until paid. Any owner of land, or any corporation
assessed for construction, may at any time within thirty (30)
days after the confirmation of said report, pay into court, the
amount of the assessment against his land or any tract thereof,
or against any such corporation. Said payment shall relieve said
lands from the lien of said assessment, and said corporation
from all liability on said assessment. The clerk of said court
shall collect no fees or commissions for collecting or
disbursing such payments, and shall on demand of the
commissioners of the district pay over to them all sums thus
coming into his hands. Upon presentation to the state auditor of
an order of the district court having jurisdiction of such
drainage district, properly certified, the auditor shall draw
his warrant on the treasurer on the common school account within
the permanent land income fund in favor of the commissioners of
such drainage district for the total amount that may be assessed
against any lands included in such district, the title to which
is in the state of Wyoming, and upon the payment of such
warrants such lands shall thereby be relieved from the lien
theretofore created for such costs of construction.
