prescribed by the condemnation law. The amount paid for such lands, by
such common council or board of trustees as aforesaid, and all the
expenses attending the same, with the expenses of fencing and improving
the same, shall be assessed and collected by a general tax upon all the
taxable property of such city or village, in the same manner as other
