9according to the same proportions as provided in s. 87.10 (1) (c). It shall thereupon
10become the duty of each such town, village and city to include in its next succeeding
11tax levy the amount so certified and to forward such amount, on or before March 15

SB55-ASA1-AA1,716,14
1487.18 Lease, sale and lease with option to purchase the project. 15Whenever the flood control project consists of a storage reservoir and authority to

of natural resources a petition
19and a proposed contract with such improvement company for a lease, sale, or lease

22board will be obligated to pay for the cost of the reservoir and the maintenance and
23operation of the same, and the project will secure effective flood control and
24promotion of the public welfare, then notices, proceedings and assessments provided
