measures of relief, approximate cost of necessary drainage works,
possible benefits and advantages therefrom, shall give an estimate of
the cost of the surveys and all proceedings necessary for and including
final fixation of boundaries of the district and shall set forth the
recommendations of the department with regard to the formation of the
proposed district.

including final fixation of boundaries of the district and that, should
such proceedings be fully or partially completed, such cost will be
assessed in one year upon the lands in the district at a uniform amount
per acre of such lands.
