Said assessments may be levied for 1 year or in yearly assessments for 2, 3, 4, or 6 years, according as it may be deemed advisable and for the best interests of those concerned, and shall be collected by the tax collector in like manner as other taxes are collected, and made a special fund for the cancellation or redemption of the indebtedness incurred in the construction of said drain or auxiliary as aforesaid.
