If any district shall contract with the United States for the construction of drainage works, it shall be within the powers and the duties of the board of directors on or before September 1 next preceding the initial payment for such works under contract with the United States to fix and determine the rate or percentage of the benefits from the proposed works for all real property within the district to be affected by said works, subject to judicial confirmation as provided by Section 53 [73-11-6 NMSA 1978] of this act. The board shall also assess the damages inflicted upon any real property by the works of the district and such amount shall be deducted from the assessments payable by each owner of lands damaged until compensation for the damages shall have been fully made. If the damage shall be found to exceed the benefits as regards any parcel of real property or any easement, a cash award of the difference shall be made. The said rate of benefits shall be subsequently used as the basis for the annual assessment, but such rate may be changed from time to time by the board of directors as new or changing conditions may, in their judgment, require, subject to judicial confirmation as aforesaid. Irrigation districts, as regards drainage costs, may assess realty within the district boundaries owned by all such classes of persons and corporations, to the same extent as now permitted by the laws of this state to drainage districts.

Any desired special construction, reconstruction, betterment or improvement in an irrigation system, including drainage (and protection from arroyo floods or encroachment of arroyo fans, river rectification and control, river bank protection, construction of levees and jetties), which are for the special benefit of certain agricultural lands tributary thereto and lying within the geographical boundaries of an irrigation district, may be constructed, or improvements already constructed for similar or the same purposes may be purchased or acquired, and provision made to meet the cost thereof as follows: the holders of title or evidence of title of one-quarter of the acreage proposed to be assessed may file with the board of directors of the irrigation district their petition reciting the nature and general plan of the desired improvement and specifying the lands proposed to be specially taxed therefor. Such petition shall be accompanied by a bond in the sum of one hundred ($100) dollars, with the surety to be approved by the said board of directors, conditioned that the petitioners will pay the cost of the investigation of the project and the hearing thereon if the same be not established. Said board may, at any time, require a bond in an additional sum, as may be deemed advisable. Upon the filing of such petition the board of directors, with the assistance of a competent engineer, shall make an investigation of the feasibility, cost and need of the proposed local improvement, together with the ability of the land to pay such costs, and if the same appears feasible they shall have a plan and estimate of the cost thereof prepared. If the cost shall appear to the board to exceed the benefits to accrue therefrom, or if the land proposed to be embraced within the local improvement district shall be found to be insufficient security for the return of the cost, or if a protest against the establishment of the proposed improvement, signed by a majority of the holders of title in the proposed local improvement district, be presented at or prior to the hearing herein provided for, or if in other respects the proposed local improvement district should be found not feasible, they shall hold such petition for organization for naught, and dismiss the same at the expense of the petitioners.

If decision shall be rendered in favor of the improvement, the board shall enter an order establishing the boundaries of said improvement district, and shall adopt plans for the proposed improvement and determine the number of annual installments, not exceeding fifteen, in which the cost of said improvement shall be paid. The cost of said improvement shall be paid by the issuance of certificates of indebtedness of the district therefor, from time to time, either directly for the payment of the labor and material, or for the securing of funds for such purpose. Said certificates shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed eight percent per annum, payable semiannually, evidenced by coupons, and shall state upon their face that they are issued as certificates of indebtedness of the irrigation district for the benefit of the local improvement district within said irrigation district; that all lands within said local improvement district shall be primarily liable to assessment for the payment of the principal and interest of said certificates, and that said notes are also a general obligation of the district. No certificate of indebtedness shall be issued in denomination exceeding five hundred ($500) dollars, and no certificates shall be sold for less than par. Whenever such improvement district has been organized, the boundaries thereof may be enlarged to include other lands which can be served, or will be benefited by the proposed improvements, upon petition of the owners thereof; provided, that at such time the lands so included shall pay their equitable proportion upon the basis of benefits of the investment theretofore made by the said local improvement district, and shall be liable for the indebtedness of the said local improvement district in the same proportion, the same manner, and subject to assessments as if the said lands had been incorporated in said improvement district at the beginning of its organization.
