Before any public irrigation
or drainage work specified in this chapter shall be established, a petition
signed by one hundred (100), or twenty-five per cent (25%) of the owners of
the land described in such petition, as the land proposed to be benefited,
setting forth the necessity therefor, that the same will be a public benefit
and will promote the public welfare or public health, the description of the
proposed irrigation or drainage works in general terms, together with a
description of the land intended to be benefited thereby, shall be filed with
the county auditor. Upon the filing of such petition, one or more of such
petitioners shall deposit with the county treasurer of such county from time
to time sums of money in an amount to be determined and fixed by the board of
county commissioners to be used by them to defray all costs and expenses
incurred under the provisions of this chapter to and including all expenses of
the bond election and until such time as funds for said work are otherwise
available: provided, that the amount of such deposits shall be included in the
cost of the works in the event the indebtedness for the same shall be
authorized at such election and reimbursement shall thereafter be made to the
parties depositing the same.
